OUR
SERVICES

Having worked in the Wake Forest community as an eye doctor since 1995, Dr. Dan Yoakum opened his own practice at Heritage in 2005. He’s a resident of the town and recognized the growth of the area and need for an independent vision care practice that specialized in creating an individual experience for every patient, based on their ocular and visual needs. Rather than rushing a patient through their exam, the doctors at Heritage strive to take the time with each patient to determine an accurate diagnosis, a perfect prescription for glasses and contacts, and assist them in the selection of distinctive eyewear and contact lenses.

In 2019, with the practice experiencing significant growth, Dr. Aleshia Luu joined the team. As the community and practice have expanded, Drs. Yoakum and Luu, along with their dedicated team, remain committed to their mission: providing exceptional eye care services with passion and expertise. By utilizing the most advanced state-of-the-art diagnostic technology and eye care products available, we are committed to educating our patients and delivering personalized service to the people of the Wake Forest area. Visit us at Rogers Road, where you’ll find a professional team that prides itself in being the friendliest and most hospitable optometry clinic in Wake Forest.

Heritage Eye Care Institute is amazing! All of the staff are very helpful and caring. The receptionist even helped me get my boyfriend in the office and out of the office because he was still groggy from the anesthesia.My boyfriend had surgery on his hand and after he woke up from the surgery he complained of eye pain in his left eye. After talking with the doctor, he said go see an ophthalmologist. So I called my trusted ophthalmologist and they were able to get my boyfriend in right away. Dr Luu told my boyfriend that his eyes were not taped all the way during his 2 hour surgery which made his eye in that area very dry. She said it looked like a razor cut.We appreciate all of you for all you did for us today. You are the best ophthalmologist I have ever been to!

This was my first visit to the Eye Institute, but I'm happy to say it was a pleasant experience. Everyone was friendly and helpful and I particularly liked Dr. Yoakam, and feel I got a more thorough examination that I have at the practices of other practitioners. And the young lady that was the receptionist in the office was thoroughly delightful as well.

Everyone at the office was very kind, sweet and patient. My daughter is three and this was her first time going to the eye doctor and Adam and Dr. Luu were wonderful with her.

I love coming to this facility. The doctor is top notch. Front desk is always cordial. The technology is above anything else locally.You have the options of getting all your glasses there. Billing occurs with ease. The doctor I saw was a wonderful and pleasant surprise. Puts family back in family practice.

Highly recommended. My mother and I see Dr. Luu and she was very knowledgeable, took her time, and really listened to my concerns. I was very happy with my whole experience at the office. One of the best eye exams I have had in years!
