About Us
San Antonio Eye Center, P.A. is the corporate name of the private medical practice in which we work. The practice has seven San Antonio ophthalmologists, two optometrist and approximately 75 staff members.
There are six San Antonio Eye Center locations (Downtown, Southside, and Northside), some of our physicians see patients on South East side at Trinity Vision, and in the North West near the Medical Center at our new Ingram office. Most of our surgeries are performed at our outpatient surgical facility, known as the San Antonio Eye Surgicenter, which is connected to the downtown clinic location.
The Northside, Southside, Ingram, and future Downtown offices have optical departments on site.
History
Dr. Harris, a San Antonio eye doctor, joined Dr. Jack Lee in private practice in 1975. The office was located at 409 Camden. In 1976, Dr. Harris
opened an office on the Southside of town in which he worked part-time. Dr. Lee retired in 1978, the same year that the property at 800 McCullough was purchased.
The move to the new downtown office and surgery center took place March 1, 1980. The first cataract operation in the San Antonio Eye Surgicenter took place in May 1980.

Our Philosophy
"I believe the patient deserves a fair deal when he or she comes to our office. He or she deserves the best quality medical care given by competent and considerate people. A patient's anxiety about being in a physician's office should be acknowledged and dealt with in a serious manner. It is important to render care with the patient's best interest in mind.
I believe the employees should find this office a pleasant place to work, that the job requirements are within their capabilities and the demands placed on their time are such that their duties can be accomplished during working hours. I believe it is important to have happy employees since this is reflected to the patients and makes them more comfortable. I believe the employees should work hard when they are on the job but the cares and worries of the office should be left behind when they punch out."
