The reviews listed below were collected independently of VitreoRetinal Consultants through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
I have been Dr. Rhee’s patient for over 5 years. I am being successfully treated for wet macular degeneration. During my treatment I have received injections to both my eyes. As scary as that can seem to a patient, Dr Rhee’s team of specialists always put me at ease and Dr. Rhee always administered treatment and explained my condition to me as he proceeded. Their practice is exemplary.
