Dr. Derrick Choe has been recognized with honors and distinction for his academic and clinical excellence.  He completed his Bachelor's degree at the University of Washington and went on to Pacific University in Oregon to receive his Doctor of Optometry degree. After his residency at the VA Medical Center in West Virginia, he returned back to Seattle and has practiced at Bella Vision since the 2001 opening.   Since then, Dr. Choe has diagnosed and managed eye conditions due to Diabetic Retinopathy, Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, and Cataracts.  He is qualified to provide routine eye examinations, pre- and post-op exams/care for refractive surgeries (such as LASIK, PRK), specialty contact lens fittings (RGP, Synergeyes), and many other ocular treatments for diseases and immediate eye infections and inflammations. With his many years of experience treating patients, Dr. Choe has successfully seen a patient load of thousands.
