Alta Eye Care

My mom went to see Dr. Sandy Chen today and had a wonderful experience. Dr. Chen spoke fluent Mandarin and English which was very helpful. She was extremely kind and the best experience my mom has had. Thank you Dr. Chen! Would highly recommend.

I came to Dr. Lee at Alta after an optometrist believed that they had seen signs of glaucoma in my eyes during a routine prescription check. Needless to say that hearing that when you're barely 40 years old was terrifying to me. Unfortunately, Dr. Lee confirmed the diagnosis. Fortunately, I've been able to put myself in his care for the last several years, and couldn't have asked for a better health care provider. He has been punctual, friendly, kind, and professional without fail at every visit. He has patiently answered every one of my questions, always been responsive to calls and emails outside of appointments, and there has never been a doubt in my mind that my health was a priority. I cannot recommend Dr. Lee and the team at Alta highly enough.

I am a Medicare patient an I have had Dr. Alex Lee as my eye doctor for over 5 years. As I need to work with computer 12 hours a day, I unfortunately have dry eye issue for over 20 years. Eye drops, nighttime lubricant and sunglasses are essential in my bags everywhere I go. I had photophobia, constant eye tearing and irritation, until one day I saw multiple images of myself in the mirror, I was panicked. I luckily find Dr. Alex Lee from Medicare website and was diagnosed with serious cornea abrasion. I thought I might lose my sight soon, but instead, I was just advised by Dr. Lee last week, after 5 years strictly followed his prescription and strategy, my cornea abrasion has been minimized, my eyesight has recovered and most excitingly I have little pain and irritation in the daytime even sometimes I forgot to wear my sunglasses. Dr. Lee can explain to me complicated medical situation in plain language for me to understand. His great patience, friendliness, and his solid professional knowledge are keys to have helped me getting rid of unnecessary anxieties and eventually cured my issues. Thank you Dr. Lee.

To begin, this is the first time I've ever written a review and I will have to say this review is very well deserved. Dr. Chen has been my ophthalmologist since 2006 that's 17 years she has taken care of my ophthalmological needs. Since the beginning she was assigned to me when associated with another opthalmologist in Redwood City. A few years later Dr. Chen opened her own practice in Redwood City then eventually moved her office to San Jose. I would say the distance from home to her office is well worth the driving time of 35-40 minutes because I consider her to be an outstanding opthamologist, superior and incomparable to many others in the medical profession. Dr. Chen's office is well equipped with the state of the art optical digital cameras; Ophthalmoscope, tools and instruments to examine and detect early eye diseases. Prior to my visits she reviews my chart and prepares well in advance what procedures to prescribe during my examination. She will usually examined me with at least three ophthalmology cameras or equipment, as her exams are very thorough.Dr. Chen noted that I would eventually have Choroidal Hemangioma (bleeding of the eye capillaries) prior to removing the cataract of my right eye; she recommended I visit two other specialists. I have been visiting the two now since 2015.During cataract surgery many years ago I had to have one lens sutured to ensure adequate closure for good long-term healing. During an exam with one of my other ophthalmologist practicing for over 30 years, commented the suture was perfect. I feel like I am not just one of many patients. she takes her time to listen to me and explains options very clearly. She is very personable and easy to talk to, doesn't rush.I would give her a 10 star review over a 5 star review anytime!

I have found Dr. Alexander Lee to be an outstanding Glaucoma Specialist. I have been seeing him regularly since 2015. He performed two surgeries, both of which were successful. My eyes are stable, thanks to his successful management and instructions. He sees me every three months. I am very grateful for his competence.

Dr. Chen and her staff were thorough and outstanding. She was able to predict what I was going to say! I am confident of her abilities. On a side note, the office took every good hygiene measure.

Dr. Chen is wonderful. She's been working with me for the last year to help a chronic issue I keep running into. Her support has been amazing.

Had a great second experience at this place for my second eye exam.Friendly doctors that offer honest and blunt advice. This is not one of spots that try to hold your prescription hostage and force you to get unnecessary glasses.

I saw Dr. Chen and loved her kind and friendly demeanor. She was really knowledgeable and broke down concepts in an easy manner, educating me of my issues. I definitely recommend her.
