    Not bad for reading glasses, eh?
    Janna L.

    I thought I would come in here as a tag along with hubby who was having minor irritation with his eye and needed an eye exam. I had a booked appointment as well for right after him. What the heck, why not? Good to get regular exams, right? Especially if your work insurance covers one. I thought I would go in and skate, (never had glasses) needing nothing and just getting an A plus exam. Well, not so fast! We are very familiar with the location as we work out here at the plaza but funny - I never really noticed this place before. I guess out of lack of need, prior. Same cluster of stores as Dewar's ice cream, at the end. The place inside is much bigger than it looked from outside! It is newer too and it shows. Very nice space. We seemed to wait for a good amount of time before being seen first by the exam technician and then the eye Dr. It was a pleasant space though and you could make yourself a Keurig coffee and lounge on the seats or shop for sunglasses/frames. I had barely glanced at anything, thinking I needed none of that. I did not like the exams at all as my eyes are really light in color and sensitive to any light (this is why I wear sunglasses til dusk when outside!) but it is an evil necessary. I was seeing little green dots for a lot of the afternoon afterwards! The doctor was very nice and seemed thorough. Turns out, ya I am 20/20 but could use some reading glasses for perfect fine tuning of small print. You do not see the difference in your vision until someone shows you! I went out of the Dr's room a wee bit deflated until I was received by the gals working there and showed me some really cool options for frames. Tiiffany, Coach and my go-to, Ray Bans for comfort. Glasses have sure come a long way, removed from librarian look standards. The ladies were so patient with me as this was all new to me and were super sweet telling me their opinions, taking their time with us. It made shopping fun. Even for glasses frames. We were there way longer than initially intended but made our choices and paid. Cheap no but what price can you put on your eyes and less strain? Hubby bought reading glasses too, looks great in them. The Dr also gave him drops for irritation which could simply be dry eye in this dusty town. Plus, it is winter. I am not sure how much I will reach for these glasses for use, we will see. I will update too when we get our specs in, for satisfaction's sake. I think it will be another couple of weeks. Would recommend this eye care center!

    Today was my first visit to Li and Liao Optometry. I decided to visit the location on Brimhall Rd…read morewhich is the NW location. I was very impressed with how smooth my first interaction was. I was greeted by the front desk receptionist with a friendly welcome and smile. My wait was no more than 5 mins after my scheduled appointment. I was assisted by Carmen who is one of the friendliest and most knowledgeable there can be. For my pre-exam the process was smooth as I was navigated to each eye machine. I then waited for Dr. Li and again not long. He greeted me with a great sense of humor. He is very easy going and is attentive to patient's needs. He is quick to address any concerns you may have. You can rest assured your questions are answered honestly. He is one of the most thorough optometrists I have even been around. He reviewed all the graphs and results of my pre-eye exam and broke down what exactly I was looking at. I essentially was looking at my entire eye health. This something unique and akin to what a dentist would show you when they take x-rays. I was really impressed. He was very forthcoming about what to expect as I age with my eye health. He also was able to provide a sense of understanding. I was very appreciative of his knowledge. Following my visit, I was escorted to the optician (I forget her name). She assisted me in selecting frames. She helped me with understanding what my insurance covers, and she even allowed for me to combine my wife's coverage. She was very patient with all my questions and not once I ever felt rushed. I may have kept her longer than I intended and had to depart. However, I was introduced to the person that finished up for her and that optician too (I forget her name) was very nice. At the end I was able to select a quality pair of frames that I am sure I will be happy with! From start to end the visit was one of the best I have ever had! The facility is comfortable and inviting. The entire staff I encountered were all very professional and courteous. Dr. Li was simply a joy to speak to and I am sure I can trust him with all my needs for years to come! I cannot recommend him enough. If you need an optometrists consider Li and Liao Optometry! Just a note, I saw many reviews and was skeptical at first in purchasing frames at the optometrist's office. I am someone who have been accustomed to purchasing eyeglasses from Costco. Costco offers a good selection, and the costs are more than fair. However, I can say that after my visit with Dr. Li and having the opportunity to keep an open mind to see what they offered I opted to purchase my frames from his establishment. I wanted to support not only a doctor who knows his craft but a business who provides awesome service, impeccable knowledge of eye health and second to none care. I find that when sitting with an optician I get the most out of selecting the best frames. Of course, you will see name brand choices, and this may scare some when it comes to pricing. But I compare it to what are you willing to pay for your health. It is like purchasing a good mattress so one can sleep well. I look at glasses the same, you may be wearing these 24/7. The brands offered are quality. In the end its worth it!

    Would NOT recommend this place. Expired eye drops are being used! Saw the date on a bottle just…read moreleft out on the counter.

As a Black woman, these repeated experiences left me feeling unwelcome and discriminated against. In addition to the customer service issues, I experienced problems with my prescription not being handled correctly, and I later developed an eye infection, which was extremely concerning and frightening. What made the situation even more frustrating was my attempt to contact the office for assistance. My calls were repeatedly forwarded or went unanswered. However, when I called from a different phone number, my call was answered. This only added to my concerns about how I was being treated. Based on my personal experiences, I felt that I was treated differently because of my race. I have submitted a complaint regarding my concerns because I believe this situation deserves to be taken seriously. I would strongly encourage people of color to carefully consider my experience before choosing this establishment. No patient should ever leave a healthcare facility feeling ignored, disrespected, or discriminated against--especially when they are seeking help with their health.

    Dr.Miller was great. Thank you so much for finding the solution to my dry eye problems…read more As soon as I got there I was greeted with a smile and I did not have to wait like other doctors. I waited maybe 2minutes before i saw Dr.Miller :) He was so informative and knowledgeable about the issues with my eyes. I highly recommend this office. Best office I have been to in town. Also if you are looking for eye prescription and glasses they have them here too.

    Dr. Miller has been my OD for the past 4 years. Initially when I came to him from another office I…read morewas having issues with my contacts. The ones I had been living with for years caused me discomfort and good vision wasn't a daily occurrence. The problem was mainly due to my high astigmatism. My previous OD couldn't help me and didn't really seem to try. Dr. Miller tried several different lenses with me until we found a good fit. Contacts had never felt so comfortable and my eyes weren't nearly as irritated as they had been before. Because they fit better I could also see much better. He made it clear to me that contacts weren't the best option for me due to my high astigmatism but that didn't stop him from doing everything he could to make it work. We also discussed other options like LASIK and other refractive surgery. I was always very interested in this and he answered all my questions, gave me every option available and left me with pricing. At the time the only option for me was a contact lens implant. The cost of this was very high and not an option I felt comfortable with. A few years later he mentioned the technology has improved since our last discussion and I was now a candidate for PRK (a type of refractive eye surgery). He gave me the pricing, answered my long list of questions, gave me realistic expectations and three weeks later I had the surgery. I couldn't be happier now! I see better than I ever have. Dr. Miller is a great OD. He seems to genuinely care about his patients and spends all the time needed with you to get the best results. In the four years I've been his patient I have went from having almost blind and miserable feeling eyes to seeing and feeling better than I ever have before.
