Our Doctors

Christopher Gee, O.D.

Dr. Gee is a 3rd-generation native of San Francisco who moved to Dublin in 2008. As an undergraduate student at UC Berkeley, he played the saxophone in the Cal Band and served as its student musical director. After earning his doctorate at the Berkeley School of Optometry in 2006, he joined the clinical faculty, teaching clinical case management to interns at the Berkeley Eye Center, the Alameda County Medical Center in East Oakland, and the Castle Family Health Center in the Central Valley town of Atwater. As a senior research scientist in Emeryville, Dr. Gee spent 2 years performing federally funded research on indoor lighting technology, focusing on visual performance and energy efficiency.

Dr. Gee has spent over a decade serving on the board of directors for several non-profit organizations promoting optometry and vision care in the community. He takes pride in mentoring optometry students at UC Berkeley, helping them find their own goals and passions within optometry. In 2011, the California Optometric Association named Dr. Gee their “Young Optometrist of the Year.” He served for seven years on the California Optometric Association’s Education Committee, coordinating education events for doctors throughout California and making sure doctors stay up to date on all the latest in eye healthcare trends and technology. After chairing the committee for four years, he was elected to the COA’s Board of Trustees in 2018 and now dedicates much of his “free time” to advocating for quality eye care and health care for all Californians. Dr. Gee also works as a network administrator and business/practice consultant for Vision Source, North America’s premiere network of private practice optometrists.

With over 12 years of experience in myopia management, Dr. Gee is one of the Tri-Valley’s experts in orthokeratology. And with a passion for more complex contact lens fits, anterior eye disease, and headache management, Dr. Gee is happy to work so close to home and to serve his own neighborhood as his patient base. If you don’t happen to catch his two whippets at the office, you’ll likely see them on walks around the neighborhood!

In 2011, Dr. Chiu was named “Young Optometrist of the Year” by the Alameda & Contra Costa Counties Optometric Society. Three years later she was elected President of the society, on whose behalf she organized a panel forum of state leaders and health officials to educate the community on the Affordable Care Act. Dr. Chiu is a Past-President of the Bay Area Optometric Council which connects leaders in the profession across the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

Dr. Chiu is a mother of two young boys and is passionate about pediatric eye care.  She advocates for infant wellness exams by being a provider of the American Optometric Association InfantSEE program and specializes in myopia control for children.

When Dr. Chiu is out of the office, she enjoys spending time with her boys, her cockapoo, and optometrist husband (not Dr. Gee).  She loves barre classes, yoga, trying new restaurants, and will never say no to a fresh cup of Philz Coffee!
