When you feel rushed, how can you feel as if they are giving you the correct prescription or answer all your questions without feeling like a bother? So I came here and it was the exact opposite experience with Dr.Odette.

Genuinely felt taken care of

They are also the only place in the entire area I can get Silhouette frames. My prior Dr carried the best, and I have been wearing only Silhouette frames since he recommended my first pair in 2000. Thank you Healthy Eyes for the great care, great Dr., and for carrying Silhouette frames!!!

I highly recommend Dr. Lee & Associates. Theirs is a friendly, communicative, & efficient office…read more Dr. Lee & Dr. Matt are both professional, thorough, attentive to my concerns, & straight shooters, while also super friendly. I know folks from all over the Central Valley and the Sierra Foothills (and myself a Merced native living in the Bay Area!) who make the drive to their office because of the wonderful, personal care they provide. (If you love food like I do, Dr. Lee & Dr. Matt have restaurant recommendations from all over the country at the ready!) I always receive a call when my glasses are ready after they've been checked by their staff. Just recently, I needed a new prescription for my glasses. Decided just to go with same frame, maybe different color. When they found it was discontinued, Cindy sourced similar styles and had them ready for me to try. I found one that was perfect (and more hip than my old ones!) As always, I was extremely pleased with their prompt & personal service. They are also very active in the community & sincerely care about their patients like friends & neighbors. They volunteer to provide free eye exams at local schools. Dr. Matt has served as clinic instructor at UC Davis, he guest lectures at UC Merced (and other schools I believe), and is on call to advise & teach at Mercy Hospital. They are very serious about giving back to the community. I also recommend them if you need a second opinion. My friend's father had an issue that his other doctor couldn't figure out. He came to Dr. Lee who was able to diagnose it immediately and provided him the appropriate course of action and the pros/cons of waiting or proceeding with treatment, so that he could make an informed decision. Another friend whose young child had an eye turn, said their opthamologist (a surgeon) not surprisingly said that the child needed to undergo multiple surgeries over the next several years. They of course were concerned about subjecting their child to this. They went to Dr. Lee who said that his young patients have successfully overcome the same issue without a barrage of surgeries (or an eye patch) - instead correcting it in a way that strengthens the eye muscles and allows proper brain & nerve development, especially important in young children. That approach gave them much welcomed peace of mind. I am extremely happy being under their care. I have nothing but compliments for their entire team.

Problem is, when I'm not wearing my lenses, my vision degenerates by the hour, due to my myopia and astigmatism, which means my vision is not very stable. However, Dr. Chen, even though he is not the original doctor to prescribe my lenses, was able to "estimate" a workable prescription for me, and they work great! I greatly appreciate my eyeglasses and use them often. He also recommended changes to my eye-health (switching to soft) which has been hard for me, but at least I've listened. I'm pretty stubborn, but if you get me to change my mind, that's saying something. I've since moved back to the Bay Area, and have gotten eye-care at Palo Alto Medical Foundation, but that experience was sub-par.

I went from age 10-18 without glasses because my mom believed him. Can you imagine going through your childhood feeling like everyone thought you were making something like that up? I finally got my own exam at 18 and it was instant. I cried when I could read the street signs. I'm in my 40's now and have used glasses and contacts daily. My own optometrist said, "oh wow, you're basically blind without them," in one exam. I have always thought of this because it had such an impact on my learning and childhood.

I was tempted to still do that special, but I thought to myself "No, I'm not going to wear lime green square-framed glasses, you have to draw the line somewhere." Anyways so I splurged and went with the more expensive frames. I purchased the frames as part of their "Buy one, Get one free" offer. So after I agreed to spend way more than I came in for, the total came out to $356, which included 2 eyeglasses (as pictured), eye exam (prescription), and 2 cases for the glasses. Also just a side note, if you are someone like myself that doesn't know if you neccessarly need glasses per say, the eye exam is only free if you buy glasses. You know what it didn't include? Cleaning off the adhesive residue from the tag, or even a microfiber cloth. The staff was all extremely friendly, thank you, Alex, for helping me decide and sticking around 2 hours after closing. Would I do it again? Yes, but I would probably just ignore the BOGO offer and just buy one pair.

Dr. Smith gives you his full attention to listen and address any issues and symptoms. Discovered I had an eye issue which required attention of a rheumatologist that I have been battling with for years. So blessed to have found a good ophthalmologist in Merced! Be sure to allow at least 3 hours on your initial visit but it is well worth it. We only have one pair of eyes. Yelp update on my 2nd annual eye exam yesterday 1/23/19: Yet another good experience getting my eyes checked. Greeted as soon as I walked in, friendly professional staff, very thorough tests on various high tech equipment, evaluation of my medical history then doctor came in to do his evaluations. Zero wait time. This office runs like a well oiled machine. Very organized and clean and friendly plus they look for ways to save you money. Took in 2 pairs of my year old glasses that I didn't take very good care of that were stretched out to be fitted. They did that right away and handed back clean and tight. Asked if they could get the scratches on one daily pair and they said under warranty. I get new lenses for zero cost. My contacts and glasses all being conveniently mailed to my house. I wished all doctors offices followed their gold standard of excellent service. Thank you Dr. Smith and staff. You make doctors appointments fun

The vast majority would be in a waiting room but I've often had an exam room lights turn off for waiting so long! Usually no apology was offered on wait times either. I was explained he was the only doctor and he was getting help hiring another person to help lilighten the load though she isn't a ophthalmologist. While she was fairly kind in comparison to Dr. Grossman, wait times never changed! Once, Dr. Grossman came into my exam room complaining another patient had eaten that morning so he had to reschedule the surgery and how dare they not be cognizant of others time. I literally laughed our loud! He asked what was funny then I kindly pointed out it's funny he thinks that person should care for others time when i had been waiting about an hour and fifteen minutes at that point. This office needs better time management skills and more eye care specialists to help handle their schedule.
