I've been a patient at Midtown for several years. Dr. Yee and his partner provide excellent care regardless of whether it's an annual check-up or issues that might arise. The staff also is top notch. If fact, I just went in for my annual; am unable to find frames I like; and they are assisting in helping me find frames from another supplier. Purchasing from another source represents a notable loss in income for the practice - but that's not the point. They always have my best interests in mind. It would be very hard to find a better optometry practice in the area! read more

Dr. Yee provided excellent service. However, I was not impressed with his support staff. They called me the day after I had left and paid for my glasses to tell me that they forgot to measure something and that they forgot to charge me for an additional item. I was so annoyed I cancelled my glass order and will purchase glasses elsewhere. The support staff are also not very knowledgeable about contact rebate offers, typically the customer should be told about current rebates and not the customer inquiring about rebates. read more

I'm a new patient here and have had such a good experience. Dr Yee is great. He is easy going and really friendly. He seems to take an interest in his patients as whole people. He also was super helpful in helping me decide if I should stick with my current contacts. I'm on a budget and he took the time to check the prices so I could make an informed decision. His staff are also wonderful. Very helpful and personable. I will definitely continue to be a patient here and highly recommend. read more

I was referred to Dr. Yee by a friend and I absolutely love him. He is always nice and very personable, asks questions, not just about my eyes and how they are doing, but about my family and the friend who referred me. And, in case it matters to you, he gives a very thorough eye exam! For years I had been going to the university optometrist, who did just the basics. With Dr. Yee, the visit is thorough, professional, and very friendly. I like that it doesn't seem like I'm just another patient! His staff takes their lead from him and are just as awesome! I've never had a bad moment in his office. His staff is helpful and on more than one occasion has spent quite a bit of time with me trying to help me find just the right frames. And they almost always succeed (I'm picky and have a wide face -- not their fault at all!). I use my insurance there, and have refused to switch if Dr. Yee isn't on the plan, even though my current plan is slightly more money for me each month. It's worth the quality of service I get, hands down. If you are looking for a good optometrist, look elsewhere. Because Dr. Yee is not just good, he is fantastic! So if that is what you want, come here! And the friend who referred me? She has moved out of Sacramento now and gets jealous every time I get to go see Dr. Yee. Ha! read more

I've been coming to Dr. Yee's practice since I first started wearing glasses in high school, and I've been coming back ever since. The friendly manner he and his staff all have is head and shoulders above every other optometrist I've ever visited. Even though I only visit once every year or two to get my prescription updated, he always remembers where I went to school and the details of my (large) family's life. He's even scheduled same-day appointments for me when I was about to leave Sacramento and urgently needed an update to my prescription. I also appreciate the fact that, when it comes to frames, they not only have an amazing selection, but are able to special-order a ton of different options. When I couldn't find the frames I liked last time I was in his office, the staff helped me special-order my old frames in a new color. They came quickly and I appreciated the fact that I wasn't pressured to pick something I wasn't absolutely in love with. Overall, I'd happily recommend Dr. Yee's practice to anyone. The service and selection at his practice absolutely cannot be beat! read more

I went here because of the Yelp reviews, thought I try using Yelp instead of word of mouth recommendations. Came here two different appointments, regular checkup, second time contact fitting trial, because I was thinking to switch to daily contacts. Both appointments, Donald Yee, took out my contacts out of my eyes, without telling me. I am sitting there docile-like waiting for the next for the next step in the exam, and he reaches over and starts to take the contact out of my eye. I get confused and step back each time. I would have liked a little warning. Or how about permission? After the first appointment, I let it go, thinking maybe he told me and I wasn't paying attention. But the during the second appointment, he did it again. Mildly pissed, I stopped him, and replied that I will take the contacts out myself. I find it incredibly rude. The front desk staff are wonderful, they reminded me about getting my parking validated. Very personable. But the optometrist needs to work on his bedside manner. Will not be coming back. :( UPDATE: I just read all the previous reviews, to see if there is someone else who had negative experience, but I am thinking the YELP reviews fooled me into coming here in the first place. I now doubt the authenticity of the other reviews. Update 2012: Went to my regular optometrist of 6+ years from my old insurance and paid out of pocket completely, because my Donald Yee experience was so bad. read more

I've been coming here for the past 3 years. Always order my contacts and glasses here. Today I came in to have my eye looked at for a stuck contact lens. I was seen by one of the assistants and was told the doctor can see me really quick before his next appointment and when the time came was totally ignored. Waited a good 40 minutes for nothing. Totally disappointed. Good service when they see you but after that you don't matter. read more

You know when you find a doctor that you love but the people in their office are horrible, and it makes you want to never go back there? That is not something that will never happen here! Dr Yee is amazing, personable, knowledgable, and patient. His office is clean, and spacious with free parking, and a huge selection of frames. The people that work in the front office must take their cues from Dr Yee because I have never received less than amazing service from any of them. My entire family of four goes here, and I recommend them to everyone I know. read more

First time going to Midtown Eyeworks for my glasses and contact lens exam. I was not seen by Dr. Yee since I went on a Saturday, but I've had to come in the office multiple times before getting my prescription since they had to order certain contact lenses for my exam. The appointments always started late, and I once had to wait over an hour before getting seen by the optometrist. read more

Have not had a great eye doctor in soooo long until I found Dr. Yee on Yelp. I was going to Griffin Reed and then before that some similar multi doctor place in Roseville. I wear contacts and readers to see when I do close up work. After receiving new contacts from Dr. Yee, I no longer need readers to work on the computer, read menus, or see my phone. I am SO thrilled! He is by far the best eye doc in the area. Very personable, helpful staff, and overall great office. read more

Great selection of glasses which make it great when looking for glasses. Very helpful in helping you find the size frames needed to fit your face. Staff is cool and down to earth. Parking is easy. Great location. read more

I called office in the morning and got a same day appointment that afternoon. The office staff were great and Dr. Yee was amazing--friendly and professional. I'm going back to look for glasses tomorrow! A great experience overall. read more

I've been seeing him (no pun) for years and he's the most professional, and pleasant optometrist I know. I like his staff too. He moved not too long ago and has a nice building with free parking. read more

Dr. Yee's office is phenomenal. The office itself is beautiful and impeccably clean, the staff are very friendly and helpful, and the MD is professional and extremely amiable. My exam was quick and comfortable, and someone from the front office picked out the cutest frames for me. She literally just looked at me, walked to the wall, and selected a pair that were perfect. I tried on a couple of other options, but nothing came close. I get compliments on them all the time! read more

I went in for a new pair of glasses and was assisted by a helpful woman. The problem began when I went to purchase the glasses. I told the manager I would put $200 up front and the remainder when I picked up the glasses - another $400(yeah I know expensive). Instead she charged me for the full amount and then saw her error and tried to refund me the $600. She issued me a receipt and convinced me she had refunded me the full amount. Not! It took 4 days, many phone calls and my bank getting involved until she would refund me my money. So, in good faith I cannot recommend this place for eye wear. The manager needs to become familiar with her atm/charge equipment. She was also not at all helpful or would ever admit she made a mistake. No integrity. No for eye glasses. read more

This was the best experience with an Optometrist I have ever had. The showroom is beautiful, the selection was amazing, the staff (Karen) was very helpful. I tried on so many pairs and she really helped me narrow it down. Then the eye exam was very thorough and comprehensive. Dr. Yee really took his time to make sure I was getting the right prescription. He understood my needs and communicated each step thoroughly. Fan for life, great team Dr. Yee, thank you. read more

Dr Donald Yee, at Midtown Eyeworks, is one of the best in his field. He is professional, in touch with the latest technology. He is bright with reviewing health history, medications and eye exams. The staff at Midtown Eyeworks are attentive and help with finding the right glasses for you. If you find a frame you like, but they don't fit, they will look up the frame and order the right size for you...even in different colors...if you want. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. They stay current and provide off street parking. In Midtown that is hard to find! read more

Ordered a pair of glasses, had my prescription already. They had a very large selection of cute frames and the woman that helped me was very friendly. read more

I've been with Dr. Yee since I was about a junior in high school. 5+ years later, he is still my favorite. Very personable, not to mention the staff is extremely helpful and resourceful. Every time I walk in for an exam or to pick out new frames, I feel as though I'm sharing the experience with an old friend. Cheers to many more years to come, Dr. Yee! read more

I've been going to Donald Yee for the past 5 years now. His staff is excellent, and Dr. Yee knows his stuff.

So I have my prescription already and brought it in there to get glasses made. This whole time Karen helped me. She is so patient, I heart her! I'm a little demanding and expect things FAST. My glasses took a lot longer than expected but I got it in time to leave town so I kept the 5 stars. I never met Dr. Yee so I have no idea who he is. Karen spent time adjusting my glasses and I couldn't make up my mind so I switched to another pair. She was polite and did as I asked. I will definitely go back again. read more

If you're looking for a friendly, helpful, and down to earth eye doctor, Dr. Yee is your man! FYI: Dr. Yee's office moved east, closer to the 99 freeway. Their new office is newly remodeled and looks great! Call their office to get their new location. read more

No better eye doctor, I say. He is very thorough and knows his stuff! Went in for the first time last month and I go back to get my glasses soon. Excellent array of frames, by the way, almost too many to choose from. If looking for a great Optometrist, I strongly recommend. read more

Dr. Yee is extremely friendly and overall just a great person to be around! I made a new patient appointment and was taken care of. Convenient location, great helpful staff, and fast service! read more

I can't believe how good Dr. Yee is. The visits are an appropriate length, he has a great memory and makes the yearly trip a pleasure. He also has great hours for me because he can setup appointments past five. He also has some dedicated parking spots which is great for midtown. read more

Friendly office, nice doc! I have extreme astigmatism and nearsightedness, but he was able to get me the exact prescription that I needed. Highly recommend. read more

I found Dr. Yee through my vision plan. I was really pleased. His office is right behind the theater in Westfield Plaza (downtown). Easy parking in the city structure and Dr. Yee validated so it was free. His office is clean, and the staff was really helpful. I had a bad experience at Lenscrafters. They were in a hurry, the OD was upset I had to be measured twice, and all they did was pressure me to buy expensive glasses. Dr. Yee was polite, no pressure, no hassles. I will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

Dr. Yee and his staff are very friendly, well-trained, and they aim to please in a manner that's hard to find these days. I've been going to Dr. Yee for the past three years, and it's safe to say that I've never had an optometrist that cares about their patients in the way Dr. Yee does. Easily earns five stars. read more

I just stopped in to get a new pair of glasses after not having been for a couple years. Dr. Yee was great. He is polite, personable, and even keeps you entertained during the exam. The front desk staff is exceptional as well. After managing to squeeze me in for a same day appointment, one of the employees went through a huge selection of glasses with me to find the right pair. She was genuinely concerned about which glasses looked best. If you want an optometrist who cares, Dr. Yee is the way to go. read more

I have been going to Dr. Yee for several years now, and I am always amazed by him! He always remembers my name, where I work, where my husband works, the sports my kids play, etc! He takes a genuine interest in what I am talking about and never rushes me. He seems to have this rapport with everyone I know who goes to him. I never hestiate to refer employees and/or friends to him, and would recommend him to anyone! read more

Dr. Yee's office is great. What's even better is that you get to get your eyes examined by him. He is professional and pleasant. Great guy! I went to see him when I first moved to Sacramento back in 2004. Now I take my young children there. Definitely recommend him. read more

I recently just went back to Donald Yee after living in southern California for over a year and I couldn't be happier with doing so. I used to go to him as a kid and I feel super comfortable with him. I trust his work and have never felt uncomfortable or weary while there. If you are looking for a highly professional, knowledgable and personable eye doctor he is your doc. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Yee for 10 years. He has always provided top notch care, and consistently has the best selection of frames. When he does not have the style that you are looking for, he will order them for you. When it was time for me to add reading glasses, he eased me into them so I would not have to deal with a significant change. Your comfort is always a priority. If you are looking for a new optometrist, Dr. Yee is your guy. read more

Dr Yee and his staff are always friendly and appointments are always prompt. The staff are extremely patient and helpful when picking out glasses. Dr Yee takes the time to get to know you and your concerns - I had a medical condition with my eyes and he listened to all of my concerns and did not rush me through multiple follow up appointments. read more

I have been coming to this practices since it was operated by Jason Wong. He was the nicest OD. After Donald Yee took over I found that he continued in the footprints of Dr. Wong. But he also adds the wisdom of knowing the younger generation. He is truly interested in your health and your family. THis philosophy carries over to his staff to. They are all supurb! My son also likes going here. We will continue going here until Ino longer need glasses. Thanks Dr Yee and staff. You guys are great! read more

I have been going to Dr. Donald Yee for several years now, ever since he took over for the late Dr. Wong. He is so personable, very thorough, explains everything, his staff is very helpful and courteous, don't listen to the person below (Mister R) with the bad review that man seems overly sensitive. I have never had a problem with Dr. Yee removing my contacts to put in the eye drops and perform the necessary test. I think he's being extra helpful and courteous by not saying, "Okay remove your contacts." I think he's going the extra step to not inconvenience us. Highly, highly, highly recommend this Optometrist...... read more

Dr. Yee is a wonderful doctor. I have been a patient of his for over ten years, and he has always been incredibly professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I actually look forward to my annual eye exam visits because Dr. Yee is so personable and it feels more like catching up with a friend than a medical check-up. I also have found that Dr. Yee's exams are incredibly thorough and he always takes the time to fully address all of my concerns without rushing me through my appointment. The last time my husband and I had an appointment with Dr. Yee, he actually went out of his way and took time out of his lunch break to take pictures of my husband's eye just so my husband could see the damage that his eye incurred when he was in the military years ago. It just goes to show how Dr. Yee goes above and beyond for his patients, and makes each of his patients feel important which is a rarity nowadays in the medical field. Also, his staff is amazing. especially Karen who has kept me looking cute over the years by helping me pick out glasses. Thank you Dr. Yee and staff for taking care of me and my family. You guys are great! read more

I've been coming to this practice for about 30 years to get my annual exams. Dr. Yee is very detail oriented. His crew is very friendly and provide the highest level of customer service. I highly recommend Dr. Yee and his team for all of your eye needs. read more

I've been going to Dr. Yee for over 4 years, and he definitely lives up to his reputation. He is always very friendly. Even though I only see him once a year for my annual eye exam, he remembers so much about me, which is not common for other doctors. We could talk about me buying a house a year ago during the last eye exam, and he would ask about how that was going along the next time I see him a year later. While other doctors just try to get the appointment done, he really puts effort into doing what he does well. read more

I've known Dr. Yee for over 5 years. I went last week and ordered a pair of sunglasses. His place is well run, the staff is helpful and pretty receptive. I think they have a great selection of glasses and i look forward to going again! read more
