I am glad to have Dr. Nguyen and Ray for their help with my contact lenses and glasses. Dr. Nguyen listens to my concerns and I feel she genuinely cares for me and my eyes. Ray is so knowledgeable with helping me pick out the best frames and lenses to fit my criteria. I enjoy seeing his excitement when we work together to get the right glasses for me. And a special thanks to Al, who had fixed a pair of glasses I thought were broken.

Tien Kim

I truly enjoyed my first visit to the office today. The office was beyond clean and all the staff were very welcoming. Scheduling for my daughters appointment got messed up in the computer somehow but the receptionist was still able to fit us both in which I greatly appreciated. The optometrist did a phenomenal job, especially with my daughter and it being her very first time to see the eye doctor. He was very patient, understanding, informative and funny. I enjoyed from start to finish, my kid as well and well will for sure return next year for an annual check!
