It was a pleasure to be examined by him. His manners are impeccable. Very thoughtful of the patient when conveying his medical thoughts..
I have not experienced this type of treatment by a medical professional in a long while. What a difference!

My opthomologist sent me specifically to Dr. Rhee because he considers him to be one the very best.
Dr. Rhee takes the time to ensure you(the patient) understand, trust and are in agreement with your care.
I’m always pleased to see him and have referred others to him.
