Midtown Optometry

I absolutely love it here! I’m very satisfied with the sunglasses and glasses I got. I love the styles and colors they had. Dr. Lee is awesome and makes you feel comfortable there.

I was provided samples of daily disposable contacts which kept ripping every time I tried to remove them. I don’t know if this was because daily disposable contacts are more fragile or because Dr. Leanne prescribed me regular contacts instead of toric for which I have been wearing for almost 10+ years. I got a second opinion from another optometrist and she told me that once your eyes have been used to wearing the toric lenses, it’d be a good idea to stick with toric. If anyone has astigmatism and tried going from toric to normal lenses, let me know how that feels. I couldn’t have agreed more with what she said.
I purchased glasses here but I left feeling unsatisfied because they just didn’t feel right (despite coming back for a re-​adjustment). At first, I bought my own nosepiece because the glasses hurt so bad but it got better over time. I also came for a contact lens exam, but did not end up using the prescription at all because again, I was taken off the toric lenses and I was not happy with that.
Oh, by the way, I was charged $ 20 for choosing to decline to get my eyes dilated.
It’s unfortunate that I didn’t get a great experience like many reviewers before me (and no, I don’t need a follow-​up to my review).

Dr. Derron Lee was a huge help to me as I was in a lot of pain due to viral pinkeye that I had contacted over the Christmas holiday from my youngest daughter. I had attempted other remedies with no success and wasn’t sleeping and in need of a second opinion. Without hesitation — Derron asked me a few questions and took a look at my eyes and was able to set me on the right path to relief. I can’t thank him enough for such personalized service and quick response in getting me help to have a great start to 2016. Highly recommended!

Absolutely love Dr. Lee. I’ve been wearing glasses since I was in the 5^th grade and have never really understood the issues concerning my eyesight or my eyeball until I started going to Dr. Lee’s office. And wow! Not only is he an amazing Doc but also an amazing person who truly cares about the community.

Wish they had it posted online or on the door. Apparently, on Wednesdays, their hours at the Stockton location is from 2pm-​6pm. … And this place moved from the other side of March Lane.

Not only is this Dr the greatest when it comes to your eye health, but also the coolest Dr you will meet and use for all your families eye care needs. I especially dig the new office amazingly beautiful and an extreme update from before. If you ever have an issue with your current care for your eyes this is the family to see. They are in multiple locations and will always accomodate you for what is best for you and your eyes. It’s not every day you find an optometrist that you can trust and appreciate knowing that it is all for YOUR best interest and health of your eyes. I also love the selection of OAKLEY frames as well always great !!! Thank you Dr Lee for everything over the years and i will be there soon to play with that BB8 :)

I got robbed! I went in for an exam last summer and the doctor says «Hey you’d make a good candidate for these new contacts, wanna try them on?» Of course I agreed to see how they felt, but declined switching over because they were super expensive. Like $ 350 per eye for a 3 month supply! Went to pay for my exam and there was a $ 60 charge for a consultation.
They said that since he put in the contacts that he wanted me to try on, because I’d made a «Good Candidate» it cost me $ 60! Never again! Sad because I always try to support local establishments. And this one is cheating its community! ACE

1^st Met Dr Derron Lee In The Community. Worked On Community Projects Together & Became Friends. Took My Families Business To Midtown Optometry & Was Thoroughly Impressed With His Friendly Staff & Excellent Service. Dr Lee’s Personality Made Me Feel Comfortable & Important. I Now Highly Recommend Dr Lee & Midtown Optometry To All My Family, Friends & Business Associates! Like Dr Lee Always Says «We Fix Broken Eyeballs!»

People trashing this place because of things that are not under control of the he optometry office like insurance issues and contact lens freebies are nuts
That stuff happens everywhere. Midtown is better than most at dealing with it in my experience.

Minus stars for a bad response from an owner.
I just want to ask the owner, did you actually read my review? Because if you did, your response would not be «I fix eyeballs for a living but cannot read minds.» As my review has clearly stated that I gave them my insurance information three weeks in advance when I originally called. I wanted to confirm during that phone call that they do in fact take my insurance. This means that I must already know what insurance I have to be able to do that. The person confirmed with me that they do in fact take my insurance and that they can go ahead and make an appointment if I would like. I think most people can agree with me that often times it is normal process to call a place and confirm that a place IS IN FACT IN THEIR IN-​NETWORK. Searching online through an insurance company does not guarantee that information is accurate so a smart and responsible consumer/​patient should take the initiative and call the office of their interest to confirm something like that. I think they should be thankful that someone would do that and not waste their time. If you’re going to reply back from a bad review, at least read the review and give accurate information and not make things up.

Dr. Derron Lee is awesome, he took the time to explain and show me everything that’s going with my eyes. Advanced technology, friendly staff, and awesome décor in the rooms lol. I picked up two pairs of glasses and can already see the amazing difference with the recommendations added. This is definitely where I will be coming from now on.

After months of searching for a new optometrist, I’m happy to have found one that I will probably be using for a long while.
Dr Lee was awesome! Patience and he listens! Love the decorations in the office — I’m talking about the old school nintendo video games on the walls.
Office Staff were great as well. No rushing, not pushy, just full of patience. Got my michael kors prescription glasses and a pair of Oakley sunglasses for the boyfriend for less than $ 320. And they even use whatever was left of my vision insurance to pay for the sunglass as well. Thanks!
A+ for being opened on a Saturday! Made it easy to not have to miss work for an appointment. 4 stars for being awesome!!!

He prescribed me a very expensive contact and when I got them they continued to rip in half. They were a very sensitive material and would always go blurry. I didn’t ask for my money back just for a free fitting for a new type of contact. He declined and said he would give me a retraining for putting in my contacts. We’ll I’ve been wearing contacts for 20 years, that was the most ridicules thing I’ve ever heard. I will not go back to see him again.

I’ve been going to Midtown Optometry for a few years now and couldn’t be happier. Dr. Lee and staff always take great care of me. They have been able to schedule me on very short notice on a holiday week, what more could you ask for? I had some contact lenses I ordered once delivered to their other location in Manteca, walked in about 2 minutes till closing and still received great service. Keep up the good work !

We have been going here for several years. We love Dr. Derron Lee, he always is patient loving and kind. His staff takes good care of us as well. Helping us pick out our frames and find the right options that work best for us.

Really nice. A little expensive, but thank god I have care credit. The girls seem nice not the most welcoming though. They guy that works there is really nice he did all the test before seeing the dr, but the only thing I didn’t like was him being on his phone, his phone rang in the middle of the testing and he answered it all like «wassup fool» and blah blah blah… Didn’t seem professional at all. I felt disrespected as a new patient. I don’t think being on your cell is the right thing to do… But if the dr lets them. Then I guess… Dr. Lee very very nice, a lot of energy. really liked him. Over all its a nice office.

Sad to say, the voucher is only for non-​insured people apparently.
I was ready to pay for my new glasses but they said since I have insurance, they could not honor the voucher.
Good thing I didn’t buy it beforehand, or else I would’ve lost money.
The workers were friendly and helpful, but I wish they had stated online the truth about the voucher.
It sort of seems dishonest of them to advertise it like it’s an option for everyone when really, it’s not.

Was a first timer here. Wanted to try something new and bought a voucher on Unilocal.Thought it would be a great deal, but came to find out this office charges separate for eye glass prescription and contact lens fitting. (Buying the voucher before getting prices was completely on me. Lesson learned) On the upside the selection of frames were fantastic. Service was good. Nothing too spectacular. I just felt this place was way out of my budget. First optometrist I’ve encountered that charges separate for contacts fitting and eye exam. I’d say the best bargain for eye exams in Stockton would be good ol Costco.

Lady totally ignored me too busy talking in the back so I walked out. appointment was set at 9 am so I expect 9 am and not waiting for customer service so I said I’m cancelling the appointment. I mean its suppose to be a professional place right? Wheres the punctuality?
Disapointed.

Long overdue review!
I absolutely love coming here. State of the art technology so you get the most accurate reading. Dr. Derron Lee and his staff are great. Everyone is so kind and helpful. I recommend coming here if you are looking for an optometrist.
