Rhee Walter Costco Optical Department

I And My wife have been going to Dr. Rhee since 1999 and first I think he is great both with his kind friendly manor and he is top notch. He takes his time on the exam and really cares about fitting you with the best contacts and answers all questions you have. He is very friendly and makes the visit a nice experience. I have been to many Eye Doctors since I have had to wear glasses since 1969. Its rare for a Doctor to take their time on doing the exam and not rush you on the reading and seeing the charts. Or having the patience to answer your questions about eye disease. He is the best I’ve seen in Years.

We have been gone to Dr. Rhee for many years now. We trust his accuracy examinations! I have had bad experience before I went to Dr. Rhee. Now, I only trust his professionlism! He is an eye doctor everyone should have!

Our family has been going to Dr. Rhee for years. 2 years ago while my husband was working outside, he had sudden vision loss in his right eye. Dr. Rhee got him in right away and had him up to a specialist the same day. It saved his vision. My husband is still getting injections in his eye, but because of Dr. Rhee’s quick action my husband has regained 80% of his vision back. So thankful we had such a great doctor in our time of need. I know you may think that just because he works at costco his is run of the mill, but I have been wearing glasses for over 30 years and really like this doctor. I highly recommend him.

So I went to Costco to get the eye exam they offer which is affordable. I went later in the day, so I’m not sure if that’s why but I didn’t have a great experience. Dr. Rhee was less than desirable in terms of customer service. I don’t think he smiled one time, and certainly made no efforts to make me feel in any way comfortable with the process. So I can’t recommend him. On the other hand, the customer service in the Costco optical department was phenomenal. The women that work there were friendly, kind, fun, and loving. So I will definitely go there to get my glasses from now on. But if I ever need to get my eyes examed, i’m definitely going to be looking for someone a little more on the friendly side of things. :/

I have been going to Dr. Rhee for many years and when my insurance changed plans, I tried going to a different Dr. that was on the new insurance plan. I was not happy with that new Dr, and I immediately went back to Dr. Rhee at Costco, in Federal Way. I think he is professional yet down to earth and easy to talk to. I ask a lot of questions and I believe he answers them without bias. I have had some interesting decisions to make over the years and I trust his input.
He is an independant Dr.; not affiliated with Costco other than to have space in their building.

If you’re a member of Costco, I think it’s very important to take advantage of all the product/​services they have to offer. Dr. Rhee Walter does a great job. The staff is also very helpful as well.
