Paul C. Lee – CCRS

It’s been one month since I got Lasik and I couldn’t be happier. Everything at CCRS was very well done and professional. The consultation was very informative and they answered every question I had. They explained everything in great detail and I decided on bladeless Lasik. On the day of the surgery, I was very nervous, but they took great care of me. They gave me valium, let plenty of time for it to kick in and even gave me a stuffed animal to hold, haha. Dr. Lee also took his time and never rushed me. He explained everything he was doing and assured me it would be quick and easy. The first machine where they cut my eye took 10 seconds. The second machine that did the actual Lasik took like 15 seconds. Overall, it took less than a minute and I never felt a thing. Immediately I could see 30% better. I went home, napped for 3 hours and when I woke up, everything was bright but I could see very well. I drove myself to the appointment the next day and my vision was already ²⁰⁄₁₅! I feel like my vision fluctuated a bit for that first week, but when I called and asked them about it, they said it was normal. Now it’s been one month and I get dry eyes sometimes, but that’s it. My vision is officially ²⁰⁄₁₅. I am so happy to have gotten Lasik. It’s so awesome to wake and up and be able to see!

This review is specifically for the consultation alone but I will definitely update it after my LASIK surgery in March. I had the most fantastic experience today, although there were many other folks waiting with me in the waiting room, I felt like there was no wait at all. The appointment went by quick and compared to other LASIK consultations I’ve been to, they were very attentive to my needs and the staff was so kind. I met with the Chief Administrator, Jay Ko and he addressed every one of my questions and went in detail about every procedure they offered. He even showed me an illustrated version of every procedure, which is amazing because you know exactly what they are going to do to your eyes. Jay was so kind and explained every detail of the examinations he was doing, and when I met with Dr. Lee himself, he was very informative and took his time. I never felt rushed in this office and you can see all the new technology they have compared to the other LASIK centers you go to. I am so excited about my procedure in March!

Last Tuesday I got lasik eye surgery and I could not be any happier. I have been wearing glasses and contacts for 13 years. No more! Being a Virgo, I am extremely picky and through with whom I pick as my doctor. Dr Paul lee is amazing and gave me my sight back. His staff is amazing and the office is clean/​nice. I give his staff 5 stars, dr Paul lee gets a million stars, is office gets 5 stars. My boyfriend had lasik surgery done five years ago and got a retouch with dr Paul lee, now he sees even more sharp and clear. Amazing work!!! I could not be any happier
PS
Ladies with eyelash extensions, no worries they are super careful not to pull or ruin them. No need to take off your eyelash extensions!!!

I wanted to wait a year after my surgery and WOW!!! Love it and wouldn’t regret doing it again, excellent staff and the office looks clean and relaxing environment. 5 STAR!!!
Guess what I have ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision thanks doc

I LOVE THIS PLACE! **Fantastic service**
I was recommended here by a friend. Each and every staff member were just absolutely friendly and helpful. They all know my name! I love that ~very mindful. Dr. Paul is very precise and patient. You’ll be given the time and care. On the day of your procedure, you have your very own special waiting room. What an amazing idea — It sure kept me calm. They even go beyond to keep you warm during the procedure with a blanket and a teddy bear! I couldn’t let that opportunity pass so I accepted to have the teddy bear during my procedure. I stayed away from bright lightings and the sun for 3 days, kept up with my drops, and today my eyes are great! I have recommended CCRS to so many people and family members. They cannot wait to get their eyes corrected. I am more than pleased! Thank you for your great service

I had Lasik procedure with Dr. Lee 2 ½ years ago, and I think this facility and Paul has to be one of the best in the world. They are obviously experts, know how to set patients at ease, and communicate expertly at every stage of the process.
My wife had her procedure done yesterday, and I’m sure will be just as happy as I am! No hassle with glasses or contacts!

Quick update ! Been over 3 months, vision is just as good as it was one week after my surgery :) Don’t regret my decision at all ! Will update again at the 6 month /​one year mark !
Dr. Lee is the best !

I totally recommend this doctor! Doctor Lee and his staff are very knowledgeable and they listen and address all your concerns and problems. They are friendly, professional, and very CLEAN!
I’m soooooo glad I found them because the reason I’m here is because of a hunch that I had that my mom’s previous doctor was not a good doctor (kindly speaking). Her previous doctor examined her eyes, gave her eyedrops and pain killers and sent her home after several hours of wait. Doctor Lee on the other hand, within 30min of examination (including wait time), found cataracts and glaucoma. He immediately treated the cataract with laser, and got the ball rolling for treatment of the glaucoma.
Thank you doctor Lee!!!

Straight up! Dr. Lee is pricier than the other laser eye surgery centers in the LA area. But the general quote «you get what you pay for» definitely applies here. Would you really go to subpar doctor just to save a few hundred bucks?!? Come on now, it’s your eyes we’re talking about here. You can’t skimp when it comes to this. There can only be a couple of attempts before you reach the point of no return.
Now stop reading and go make an appointment for a consultation!

Thanks Dr Lee for your commitment to making my vision the best it can be!

After thinking about it for awhile, I decided to get my LASIK done. I went in for a consultation on 10÷3÷15 and felt pretty good about the clinic due to its cleanliness and great service. I had the procedure done this past Friday on 10÷23÷15 and was even more impressed by how smooth the whole procedure was. Very little wait time, tons of staff attending to you, and yes they offer you a stuff bunny to hold onto during the procedure. They give you all the drops you need post-​LASIK and schedule immediate follow up appointments. My potential rides all fell through so they even called me an UBER.
I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone considering LASIK. My only advice would be to take the Valium that they offer because it probably helps you sleep after the appointment. I declined because I didn’t want to take unnecessary drugs, but once I got home, I had a hard time falling asleep to rest my eyes and ended up taking some Nyquil.
It’s been a few days now and my eyes feel fine. I’m still getting used to my bed-​time routine being so quick (not taking out my contacts).

I can write about all the amazing things about this place but there are too much to list.
Professional, knowledgeable and a great deal.
Can’t beat that.
Thanks everyone at CCRS!

I submitted a review, then took it down again.
This is the last time I am putting this review up and it will stay.
I got my Lasik surgery done in 2011 after seeing all the good reviews from Dr. Lee.
I had my surgery. Boom! ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision.
But after the surgery, something just wasn’t right.
I came back several times for checkups and voiced my issues which where rebutted by technical talk and the eye test.
Every time I came back, I was told I had ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision based on the eye test and that everything is fine.
Unfortunately, my gut has always told me and my experiences, as well, tells me that the condition of your eye is not a ²⁰⁄₂₀ thing, meaning that there are other factors involved.
1
When I see movement at very close distances, I get dizzy.
2
My night vision was better BEFORE the operation.
3
Things aren’t as sharp anymore.
I don’t care what the eye test or technical talk says, I am listening to my gut. And I am not completely happy with the results.
I am sure other people had great results with their lassie surgery. Goodie for you.
I didn’t.
For the amount of money I paid, I expected excellent results without these other issues. Maybe my expectation was too high.
I feel I could have gone to a cheaper lasik center and gotten the same results.
Anyway, this review will stay.

My right eye throbs, its doesn’t hurt but its noticeable. It feels like it beating like a heart.
Not Happy.

Almost 2 years later and my eyes are still great. No complaints except the price but you get what you pay for!
Pros:
1. Nice staff and Dr. Lee is smart and good. You don’t see him again afterward on check ups but that’s fine and means you don’t have issues. His staff can help with anything after the surgery anyway. All very good.
2. Check ups are included in the price. They also give you a kit with everything you need, drops, sunglasses, stuff like that.
3. You have options on price and machine/​style, but I suggest top of the line, as you only have two eyes.
4. You get nice and drugged up, it doesn’t hurt, just feels weird. Your friend or spouse gets to watch too.
5. They can fix anything, I had an astigmatism and was near sighted with two different strengths and now I’m all good.
Cons:
1. Bad neighborhood, some shady characters outside like ranting homeless guy or muttering beggar, be careful.
2. Parking is in a tiny lot and you might get blocked in.
3. I paid $ 3600, way more than other places but the reputation here on Unilocal convinced me. I wasn’t upset.
4. They have a «hurry up buy now» promo where you get a discount (10% if I remember right, so $ 400 off of $ 4000) if you commit the same day you consult for the first time. It feels pressured as you want to save the money. So go to him after seeing about 2 – 3 other doctors, like the other Dr. Lee down the road, and be ready to book to save.
5. You can smell the burning eyeball, super weird, thank god for zanax.
6. My eyes get tired late at night (but who’s don’t) and teary when I get sleepy, but I can see great, so its worth it.
Feel free to ask me questions for more info, definitely recommend it.

Super nice staff, very patient.
Was told everything would be fine and was calmed by multiple staff members at multiple times, even though I wasn’t freaked out.
Opted for 1500pereye lasik surgery since my brother had gotten the bladed surgery back in 2010(?) and his eyes are perfectly fine.
CCRS care doesn’t just start and end with the day of surgery aka payday
Everyone was informative, thoughtful and accommodating since day one when I just wanted to learn more to today, 2 months after surgery.
Appointments are fairly easy to catch and I can’t think of a single complaint

I was looking in the mirror a couple of days ago and had a mini reality check. It’s been 5 months after my lasik eye surgery! And I am very grateful to Dr. Lee and all of his wonderful staff!
I was welcomed in since day 1. I arrived with super dry eyes and frustrated about having so much dryness and dealing with contacts and glasses for the past 14 years. I went for a check up and asked about my options. I had read about the different types of surgeries so I knew my budget and I didn’t mind the bladed lasik as my results would be the same.
My eyes were too dry to do the surgery that same day!!(I was ready to do it same day! Lol)
I was advised to rest my eyes for a few days and I shouldn’t wear contacts. I also had a lubricating eye treatment that same day. which made my eyes feel awesome immediately. It was a little painful but I survived and scheduled my surgery for the following week.
The big day arrived… I went in for surgery. it was fairly quick… I felt a little pressure, but nothing major. I felt very comfortable during the procedure as Dr. Lee explained everything he was doing… I must admit. I was a little nervous… but I survived!
After surgery. my eyes were very sensitive to light. I went straight home and stayed in the dark all day. I did call off from work the day after surgery just to be on the safe side and my eyes were burning a bit as well. then I went to see Dr. Lee 2 days later… His office gave me an excuse letter for work. They were very kind and quick to do it for me. In his office, my eyes were a little puffy and dry, but I could already see clear. I continued to use eye drops they recommended to improve dryness.
A month later, I had some pain on my lt eye and I reported it to Dr.Lee. He immediately gave me some corticosteroid eye drops. This really helped! My eyes started feeling better. my eyes took a little time to adjust to driving at night. it got blurry at times. but that has improved completely.
I continued my follow up appointments and 5 months later, I have no more dryness, I have ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision! And no more contacts or glasses needed!!! So happy! Thank u Dr. Lee and stff!!! :-)

The staff is super professional and caring. I don’t regret that I spent $ 4000 for the surgery, as I have already thrown my eyeglasses away and my lifestyle has changed.
The blade less surgery is painless, you feel absolutely nothing. I felt discomfort and burning eyes after the surgery but the numbing drops helped me prevent any pain. On the second day I felt much better, and the doctor said my vision is almost 20/​15, while the goal is ²⁰⁄₂₀: way better.
Dr. Lee is awesome, he is professional and knows his job.
Definitely recommend to get your vision back at Dr. Paul Lee!

Absolutely the best money I have ever spent in my life!
I shopped around and Lee caught my eye with Unilocal great reviews. Thanks to Unilocal,I was able to find the perfect fit for my needs.
Such a friendly, caring atmosphere at the office. Lee was very patient and listened to my questions or concerns with sincerity. The staff is amazing, very easy to book appointments.
The operation itself went very well. I actually had to have two, the first one leaving me partially blurry in one eye, but it was expected. The second procedure went well and it was ALL WORTH IT.
I wake up every single morning and even 6 months later, impressed with my vision.
If you are shopping around let me tell you you’re wasting your time. I did my shopping and this was the perfect fit in many categories.
Feel free to message me with any questions about the procedure, as I did with other patients who gave me the information I needed to confidently choose this place.

AWESOME experience here at CCRS. Dr. Lee and his staff are very professional and they guide you through the whole process. Before the surgery, they give you a detailed information about what to expect and the current condition of your eyes. They are also very patient to answer any of your questions.
I chose the BLADELESS surgery for $ 4000. The whole procedure was quick and painless! They would first put a lot of numbing drops and then they bring you to the first machine where they cut your cornea, after that, the second machine is the laser that would correct your vision. After the surgery, your eyes will be sensitive to light, since I had my surgery at 1pm, my eyes require sunglasses because I had increased sensitivity to the sun. they also give you «numbing drops» to use on the same day of the surgery whenever you feel any discomfort. The next day my vision was perfect and ²⁰⁄₂₀ when I went back for the follow-​up appointment.
I would highly suggest Dr. Lee’s office for LASIK services. it’s been 5 days and I had no problem at all with my eyes. And FYI: you can visit their office up to 1yr prior to the surgery in case there would be any problem.
Thanks Dr. Lee and Staff!

I can finally SEE!!! After 17 years of contacts + glasses I finally took the plunge and got Lasik but I don’t regret it one bit!!!
For so many years I was scared to death at the thought of someone doing anything to my eyes, let alone a laser anywhere near and even more so after watching Final Destination… so anyway, recently my eyes have been giving me problems from wearing contacts so much (i.e. Irritation, dryness) that I decided to research some doctors and came upon Dr Lee’s 5 star reviews so I quickly booked a consultation.
First of all, they were VERY FLEXIBLE since I had a large sum left on my flexible spending account for work and needed to use it or lose it by jan 1 so they were able to charge me one eye and the remainder on the day I got the surgery. The consultation consisted of several eye exams including one that shows how thick your cornea is. Then Dr Lee does your exam again and answers any questions. and his assistance takes you into an office and goes over the procedure in more detail as well as the pros and cons of bladed or all laser. I opted for all laser of course… for $ 2000 per eye. His staff members are all superb… all very professional, courteous, and make you feel very comfy being there.
So yesterday (the big day) I showed up for my surgery excited and scared to death at the same time. I was given another eye exam by Dr Lee, signed the informed consent, then given a valium, then some eye drops to prepare my eyes.
Next came the actual procedure: I laid on this «table» was covered with a blankie and given a rabbit to cuddle. that rabbit was my favorite part: D Then they told me to look at the green light. it was super quick maybe a few seconds? And I thought I was done… apparently that was only the first part where they cut your cornea… so there I was freaking out inside again. They then moved the table to another machine, and after some zapping & burning smells. I was really done! Afterwards I chilled on the couch outside and dozed off as the valium kicked in. and ran into the wall on my way to the bathroom…
Everythings been good for the last 24 hours. I can see well and thats all that matters. I was given an antibiotic and steriod eye drop and slept for an entire day. Tomorrow will be my first checkup and after that I’ll be off to conquer the world!!! Thank you Dr Paul Lee!!!
