Schaducus Financial

I’m so grateful for Dr. Nguyen and Ray’s help with my contact lenses and glasses. Dr. Nguyen always listens to my concerns, and I truly feel she genuinely cares for both me and my eyes. Ray, on the other hand, is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to picking out the perfect frames and lenses that meet my criteria. I love seeing his excitement as we collaborate to find the right glasses for me. Lastly, a special thanks to Al, who managed to fix a pair of glasses I thought were beyond repair. Their exceptional service and care are greatly appreciated!

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!
