Office is very clean and nice, everyone was masked up, which I really appreciated. The front desk staffer was friendly and took me right back for the chart reading. Dr. Barr saw me right away, there was very little waiting. He was efficient and friendly. My appointment for a updated glasses prescription only took about 20 minutes total. My only complaint was with the parking situation, as there was no designated ADA spot, and the Main entrance was on the opposite side of the building. It turns out there is a back door (unmarked outside) from the lot, so I suggest asking about it if you need accesible entry. Although you should note that there aren't any steps or steep slopes in the way, and you can wheelchair round to the front fairly easy, but if you are in a cane or walker situation, I'd ask about the back door. read more

The guy does not know what he's doing. Wasted a lot of my time! Do not recommend. Honestly he should retired. They don't even have basic equipment, smells old and bad in there. NOT RECOMMENDED! read more

I've been going to Dr. Barr for 3 years and he's been great. Prices are cheap and he is very knowledgeable. The front desk staff are friendly and deal with all of my random questions. There is a good selection of frames too. read more

Dale I. Barr OD gave me a full eye exam. I can tell that he is enthused by the profession and science behind Optometry because he taught me a few new facts. Here's some learning for today...... Dr Dale measured "pupillary distance" . I learned that eye pressures vary moment by moment I also learned about Glaucoma statistics My mother was treated for Glaucoma 40 years ago. I appreciate the endearing nature of Doctor Barr - He navigates through healthcare systems like a warrior. He's sensitive to humanity The reception treated me well I enjoyed the technicians help in picking a frame that would not fall off of my face. I appreciate the insight [In Sight ] guidance. I look forward to returning to Dr. Barr because he is my Optometrist now. Bless up and stay strong - our vision is our steering wheel helping us navigate! read more

I went there to get safety glasses for work. I mostly dealt with the staff upfront. The women were friendly and helpful.

I found this optometrist on Google and vsp search. I gave them a quick call and got an appointment the same day. I provided my info and confirmed they accepted my insurance. I arrived like 15 mins early and the receptionist was very accommodating and checked me in asap. The optometrist, Dr. Barr is super friendly and we chatted a little about the sharks hockey team during the eye exam. It didn't feel rushed like other places and he explained everything. Very professional and I highly recommend Dr. Barr if you're overdue for an eye exam or need new frames. read more

I have been coming here for the past years and they have been great--awesome service and great eyeglasses selection. Dr Dale is the best! He gives a lot of useful advice in taking good care of your eyes and health. read more

Dr Barr and his staff were so nice and helpful! The office is nicely located and I was happy with the selection of frames to choose from.

Dr. Barr is simply one of the best eye doctors I ever met. Very thorough and keeps it simple. His experience speaks while he is testing eyes. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Barr for many years and the wonderful things people say in other reviews are absolutely true! He is in network for many insurance companies and one of the few that handles prescription safety glasses for companies, such as the railroad. When Dr. Barr gives an eye exam, he takes it very seriously, never rushes, and answers any questions. The staff is always very professional and in full compliance with Covid, as is Dr. Barr. The office and exam areas are very clean, as is the waiting area. Are you looking for glasses? There is a great selection to choose from ranging from all price ranges. Since Covid, it may be a little challenging to get an appointment of your choosing but no worries, it will work out. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr.Barr OD read more

Dr. Barr and his staff are lovely people who offered me great service and great attention even coming in with a state benefits card, which has not been my experience using this card anywhere else in the healthcare system. While it's not great the frames selection is limited and the medi-cal lab is slow, that is out of their hands and Dr. Barr and his office did everything in their power to make the most of it and generally just do a great, caring job for my eyes. Thank you so much Dr. Barr and your office! read more

The front desk staff that works here is the absolute worst! The lack of communication and their attitude is horrible. Their disdain for being there is just so exhausting. They look and sound so miserable and it's not just some of them, it's all of them. I loathe coming to this place because of the staff at the front desk. read more

Tried to leave a google review but don't think I figured it out so I made yelp just for this. Was looking for an optometrist since I moved down this year and I'm glad I found this office. Came in early June and they seemed short staffed so it was really busy, but the young woman up front was quite helpful in explaining my coverage while their optician fixed an old pair of glasses I had. Afterwards, Dr. Barr took me back and was very efficient and thorough with my exam. He really seemed to care about addressing all my needs Overall, very friendly staff and a caring doctor means I will be coming back and recommending my friends as well! read more

Dr Barr is a sweet and caring Dr! I came in a year ago for headaches while reading and he gave me a prescription for glasses. My headaches went away for a while until I got a job that had me on a computer for 6-7 hours a day and had to go back today. He ran some tests and wrote me a slightly higher prescription but was sure to tell me to try my current prescription over again just increase the frequency. I really appreciate how he explains what I'm describing in words that I meant to say haha. Also truly appreciate the fact that he accepts medi-cal! It's honestly so hard to find good vision care when you have limited insurance and he is the BEST! Definitely will continue seeing him whenever I have anything wrong with my eyes! 100% WOULD RECOMMEND! read more

Wonderful staff & atmosphere! By the time I met Dr Barr it felt like I was a regular, and he was just as welcoming! I put off my eye exam for far too long but he made it quick & easy.. not at all like I was dreading in my mind! read more

Very disappointed On a plus side - I was able to get an appointment the same day and they accept Medi-cal. The rest is the negative - I specifically asked the front desk on the phone if I can get a contact lens prescription and if it is OK not to dilate my pupils. I was reassured the doctor is there for me and will do as I ask. Well, in retaliation for my refusal of dilating drops Dr.Barr refused to give me a contact lens prescription I came for, stating as an excuse that I have dry eyes. The worst part is he knows that as a Medi-cal recipient I will not qualify for an eye exam for another two years! read more

Took my son to see Dr. Barr and it was great! He was prompt, friendly, and thorough. He answered all my questions and explained everything to my son. I would recommend him to whoever may need an eye exam. The office staff was also on top of everything and friendly. read more

I was given wrong size frame after waiting 3 weeks. Then picked a frame that is my size but again after 3-4 more weeks they ordered not just wrong size but wrong frame. It was a women's style frame but they insisted they made no mistake which is what is really disapointing.. no refund no wearable glasses. Out 130.00. Irecommend if you do go here take a picture of what you order for proof. It may help keep them honest. read more

Dr. Barr and his office staff were very friendly and quick! I made an appointment for 5pm but they were able to see me sooner when I got there at 4:15. Dr. Barr answered my questions thoroughly and did not want me to pay for unnecessary glasses. It was a huge relief to find someone who was not trying to suck every penny out of me! Definitely would recommend him to anyone who needs a vision exam or check up. read more

O.D Dale Barr is exceptional! He was extremely patient with my 5 1/2 year old son 'A''. He even somehow managed to dilate my son's eyes, even though he was freaking out and being uncooperative ('A' doesn't like anyone or anything around his head). O.D Barr I would say is really good with children, he talked with my son throughout the the whole appointment (1+ hours), so he wouldn't be so scared. He actual took the time to diagnose what was wrong with my son's eyes, and found the right prescription. Thank You =)!!!! The receptionist's are also very friendly too. read more

My family and I are patients, I please with the service, starting with the attention of the staff in making the appointments and the consultation/test and feedback from the doctor. Good quality in frames and service. We started coming 9 years ago and having annual check ups until change of insurance made us visit other doctors, as soon as we got better insurance come back to get his service. Happy with the attention and prescribe glasses. read more

Previously went to a different eye doctor for my kids and felt like they just never talked to me. Was always in and out quickly. My cousin recommended Dr Barr and I am so glad she did. He was amazing with my son (his first eye exam) and with my girls. He talked to me about the exams and diagnoses. Explained it to me thoroughly. Great experience. Will definitely keep taking my kids to see him. read more

Dr. Barr squeezed me in for an emergency appointment (literally IMMEDIATELY) after I broke my back up pair of glasses right before my finals! He is an extremely helpful, patient, and caring person. I'm definitely going back to him when needed and would 100% recommend it! Also, I really liked how the office took extra care during the times of the virus - separating the clean and used pens, having multiple bottles of sanitizer, etc. read more

I made an appointment for my husband and we were running about 30 minutes late and they still took us in. The place is very nice they also have a small play area with some toys for kids (we have a 3 year old) and the staff is very friendly as well. It was my husbands first time getting an eye exam and Dr. Barr made a good experience for him. However, I do have to say that the 4 stars is only because the selection is not very big. He didn't have much to choose from. Only from 2 glasses that were big enough for him. Other than that, it's a nice place and great availability for appointments. read more

I feel I need to add to my previous review of Dr. Barr because he continues to do everything he can to meet my vision needs. He does this so well, in fact, that I still go to him after having moved to southern California. I have been a long time patient of his, but that means I see him only on average once a year. Still, he changed his schedule to help me fit my new sunglasses to my face on a weekend when I would be in San Jose. When you are his patient, Dr. Barr is there for you. He is who my family goes to and I recommend him to all my friends. And now I'm the coolest kid with prescription aviator sunglasses ever! Thanks, Dr. Barr :) read more

My son has seen Dr. Barr for almost 10 years and hates to see anyone else. Recently, I had the joy of needing glasses and of course set an appointment with Dr. Barr. I immediately understood my son's preference for him. He is a kind and intelligent man with a sincere interest in eye care. Dr. Barr has been in business for many years before I met him so he has a well established business. He has several staff members to assist you with fitting and selection of glasses although, he is always close at hand to answer personal questions. There were many options of frames and lenses with prices ranging from affordable to top of the line. They also stock many types of contacts. He has a private lot and great appointment availability. If you need eye care of any kind for anyone - call Dr. Barr first! read more

I was just recommended to Dr Barr, best place ever!! Everyone is so nice and attentive, he is awesome!

Dr. Barr is excellent! I have a really difficult prescription and I've never been happy with glasses and have only had very limited vision improvement with other eye care providers. Doctor Barr helped me with a contact lens prescription and allowed me trial contacts and to keep coming back until I was happy with my vision and comfort of the lenses. Because he is also an engineer, he sees a bigger picture of how everything fits together to get you seeing well. He was also kind enough to help me when I "lost" my contact in my eye after showering with it. What a relief!! And, I am so happy I can see better than I have since I was a kid!! read more

Got a check up from doctor Barr. He is a great doctor, he really did a good exam. At first a young lady made me read the letters, then I was called by the doctor who did a through exam. Honestly, I am really happy that I chose his office. I felt comfortable and I loved the fact that he explained everything to me and answered all my questions. Totally recommend him. read more

Google Glass As it turns out I was Dr. Dale's first Google Glass 'patient'. I have a strong prescription for nearsightedness (-7D) and was concerned that that might be a problem (Google wasn't even sure it would work). Ultimately, it was no issue whatsoever and the lenses were ready on time and work perfectly with my Glass. I also added Transition lenses for good measure. A happy customer! read more

Right around the corner from my house, staff is really accommodating, special order sample glasses for me no problem. Dr Barr is thorough and explains the purpose and results of every exam. I would definitely recommend read more

Just had an appointment at dr. Barr's office yesterday. It was a great appointment thank you Doctor bar and thank you to your staff.

My wife has seen Dr. Barr since 2018 for eye diagnosis and exam. Dr. Barr was extremely nice and professional. We are very thankful for his dedication and professionalism, and would highly recommend Dr. Barr. read more

Very helpful staff and a great Dr. Very easy to get an appointment. He takes the time for you and answers all your questions. Wouldn't go anywhere else read more

Dr. Barr goes the extra mile. He is knowledgeable, patient, thorough, kind and brilliant. Every quality you may hope to seek in your optometrist is in this doctor. His main receptionist is very sweet, the office is quaint and the entire experience is seamless. You will feel taken care of and thats what holds the most value. Dr. Barr was able to see certain possible complications in my eyes years before they may even show up. That level of insight and care is unparalleled. I will never see another eye doc for as long as I live in Northern California. He is a rare find! read more

Went here after always feeling like my previous optometrist were green hungry $$, thankfully I did not get this vibe at all here. The vibe I did get was one of honesty and friendliness from all the staff and Dr.Barr. I went in for an eye exam which turned out to be a lot cheaper than my previous location, I figured I was previously paying too much (even with insurance) but they always had an excuse. I had also purchased some glasses online that needed fitment and Dr.Barr fixed them that same day free of charge. I lost my prescription and office staff were quick to send it to me via email. Dr.Barr was also very informative and just seemed like a decent person. Will repeat business here again and recommend for anyone looking for a new place. read more

Simply - the best! Not only that he prescribed the perfect glasses for both my dad and me, but Dr. Barr detected that something was wrong with my dad's eyes, and sent him to the specialist that, ultimately, saved his vision. Great person and very, very knowledgeable doc. read more

Dr. Dale Barr and his team member, Devin are absolutely wonderful and second to none! My son has seen Dr. Barr on two prior occasions over the past two years; where our experience was consistently pleasant; as Dr. Barr exhibited expertise and competence. However, today's appointment was exceptional as Dr. Barr made the time to schedule my son's eye exam today with short notice and during the holiday and short work week. Devin greeted my son and I with a smile on her face in the midst of managing and attending to the needs of multiple customers during a celebratory but stressful holiday week! I am so thankful and grateful for the kindness, compassion, friendliness and diligence shown by Dr. Barr as he completed a thorough and comprehensive exam on my son's eyes and took the time to explain the results of the exam and the next steps. In the midst of a fast paced society where everyone is extremely busy with so little time I appreciate the phenomenal people and professionals such as Dr. Barr and Devin who go the extra mile and provide quality care! Happy Holidays! read more

I was Referred here by my family & I am very happy that I came. Dr. Barr is the best eye Dr I have been to, he takes his time and any questions you have he answers. The staff is helpful and they have a good selection of glasses,, they also have toys and books for kids which is great since I have two little ones !! I would defiantly recommend Dr. Barr read more

As a new patient, I was impressed by his friendly and helpful office staff. They had to research insurance information, and got right back with me on what I had available. My appt. with Dr. Barr was informative, thorough, and professional. He had some test equipment that was far superior to my previous optometrist. He really seemed concerned about my eye health, and gave me suggestions to keep it that way. I highly recommend Dr. Barr for any issue you may have, or just for your annual exam. Very happy with my experience!! read more
