Dr. David Chi only cares about making as much money as he can! He does NOT care about people with sight issues. He took over the previous Optometrist, who me and my family saw for over a decade, because he retired. Since I have stigmatism in one eye, the previous Dr, took his time to find at least some magnification for that eye. The new Dr, didn't even bothered checking my eye. He only read my past diagnosis and told me " Ah, you're going blind on that eye." Period. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was in SHOCKED and disbelief of his comment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]" I never went back. Not recommended at all. read more

Dr. Chi and Lina took great care of me! They fit me in for a next day appointment, helped me find contacts that were comfortable and easy to put in/take out. They were up front about costs of everything prior to my exam. They also helped me find ways to save money by breaking down the difference of purchasing daily contacts vs monthly and breaking down savings I could optimize on by buying an annual amount of contacts/boxes vs the cost of each box of contacts. They also didn't pressure me in purchasing new glasses as my new prescription is close enough to my old ones for my glasses to suffice as a back up option. Such a clean and friendly office!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! I came in as a new patient, wanting to schedule a future appointment. It was just my luck as they had a same day appointment available- within the hour and accepted my new insurance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was immediately greeted by a clean, brightly lit showroom/reception area and a smiling receptionist/optician, JACOB.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]New patient paperwork was a breeze and benefits were explained to me while I waited.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] DR CHI was my Optometrist this afternoon and he was so personable.. such a delight to speak with and before I knew it, my exam was over. We carried on a whole conversation without it feeling like an actual medical appointment! There was absolutely no "small office" up-sell on products or pushing of unnecessary vision tests. I had such a great experience as Dr Chi and Jacob maximized my full vision benefits and catered to exactly what I needed. I've been seeing the same Optometrist for about 7 years and due to new insurance changes, I was forced to find a new doctor. I'm very, VERY GLAD I did and found this office. 5 STARS ***** read more

This past week, I went in for my annual check up and the experience from start to finish was phenomenal.

I was helped by Dr.Chi, who was professional and informative on every question I had for him. From there I was helped by Lina, who is a master at her craft. Not only did she find the perfect frame to fit my peanut head, she made the whole experience felt streamlined and not once did I felt rushed despite it being a very busy day. read more

Brookhurst Optometric Center - New glasses for the win ! - Optometrists Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I will be sticking with this location as well, everyone was so informative and helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My glasses came quick, my contacts shipped quick as well. Overall all products are awesome! read more

So here is my story! Last November I was able to meet Dr. Chi for the first time and his wonderful staff. Unfortunately, I was not well (eye pain/dizzy) so he fit me in and he examined my eyes and had my eyes scanned! Note: I am now learning why it's important to provide all medical information necessary to your eye doctor in advance because they need to know what illnesses to look for as Dr. Chi noticed right away that both optic nerves were swollen!! This explains several different issues that I was having. There was great concern after that, and so I had to follow up with my HMO. Unfortunately, my experience with the medical world helping me quickly was not so good and I ended up seeing Dr. Chi again two more times only to find that my eyes were getting worse, he was surely doing his part to help me. I can't thank Dr. Chi enough for taking the time to evaluate me and read through my history. He was able to re-assure me and answer questions while I was in the process of getting medical help with my HMO. I now have everybody on the same page at least in the medical field as their trying to help me with my condition and it's a process. I did not realize the eyes really are the window to what is happening to your brain. I truly feel without Dr. Chi my care would've been more delayed and he was able to catch on to what was going on with my symptoms in a timely manner, his great equipment and his professional expertise open the doors quick and I was able to provide this information to my doctors immediately. I am still going through a diagnosis. Thank you Doctor Chi and your Staff that have been so sweet and supportive! Julie R. read more

Took my daughter here to get overnight contacts. Everyone is very charming and lovely. It's in a very great part of town/plaza and near my house. I've been to many optometrist, this is probably my favorite optometrist. read more

I came to see Dr. Aaron Chi for an annual eye checkup since I noticed my vision got a little worse since my last eye appt. He was very thorough in checking my vision, was accommodating to my lifestyle, and helped me determine whether contacts or glasses best fit my needs, which both did. He answered all my questions with lots of detail as well. The staff who helped me with choosing new glasses was also very attentive if I had any questions about the total costs. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Service was great and the staff were very attentive and kind. Dr. Chi conducted my eye exam smoothly and ensured that he addressed the different eye concerns that I had. When deciding on glasses and lenses, Lina took great care of me. She was accommodating with my budget and explained the costs that were necessary to prepare a good, functional pair of glasses. Thank you both! read more

After a long day of computer work, I noticed I had a lot more floaters than usual. I was hoping it would go away, but it didn't. The next morning I contacted two eye doctors and Brookhurst Optometry called me right back. The other didn't call back for weeks! Omg! Thank goodness for Brookhurst Optometry. They (Dr.Chi and team) saw me right away and noticed I had an EYE TEAR! Very serious and they took it so. They arranged an appointment with a local specialist for me right then and there. I visited the specialist office, was seen right away. They confirmed the tear and found a second one towards the back of my eye during a more in-depth check. They treated both in office with laser and freezing. Today my eye is great. I am so thankful to Dr. Chi and his team and also the specialists. Definitely recommend Brookhurst Optometry. read more

My husband and I was in search for an optometrist since Costco had our prescription wrong a couple of times. I made an appointment online and filled out everything prior to the visit.

Thank you for getting our prescription right! read more

I got my sunglasses' lenses switched by the optician here. I am not a patient here but the front desk staff and optician welcomed me and helped me out. (I already had the lenses I wanted switched, just needed help doing it). The office is clean and the optical has a nice selection of frames. My first interaction with this office was a very positive one. Thank you for helping me out today! read more

I don't usually leave multiple reviews, but I love this office so much I just can't help myself! From check in to picking up my glasses, it was a great experience. The staff is so nice. They always answer my millions of questions and are so patient with me. They give me honest opinions about the different glasses and helped me find a pair that I love!!! Dr. Chi is also incredible! Not only is it clear he knows what he's doing he makes the exam enjoyable and I don't feel rushed when I'm trying to decide if I like "one" or "two". I'll never go anywhere else! read more

From the very beginning, the staff was extremely helpful and sent over all information prior to my appointment. Dr.Chi is an amazing doctor, very knowledgeable and was able to get my visions to 20/20. He is extremely friendly and made my appointment very quick and easy. As I went to picking out my glasses, Lina is so talented! She simply asked what type of frames I wanted and she immediately picked out a pair for me. At first I wasn't sure but as I tried other frames out, I kept going back to the first pair Lina picked out. She is very talented, extremely nice and helpful! This is now my go to Optometric office and I already referred Dr. Chi & Lina to my friends and family. read more

Clean office with an incredibly friendly staff. An appointment was actually an appointment and they were able to get me in and out in a reasonable amount of time and were super helpful.

Genuinely caring and not pushy at all. read more

I have been a patient at this office for many years and when I called in to ask for my eyeglasses prescription with PD measurements the front desk person said could not give me the PD measurement since they do not have this. I was confused because I have asked for my PD measurements and they were able to give this to me in the past. I explained the situation again since I just got my eyes checked. The front desk person started getting impatient with me because I was still confused on why they can't provide this information. Her tone was rude and I told her that my daughter and I will go to another optometrist. She still started to be impatient and defensive. I'm a customer service manager and even when the customer is confused and frustrated does not mean the employee needs to be impatient/rude. They should try to figure out how they can resolve this issue as best as possible and put the customer at ease. Especially if I have been patient at this office for many years. I know this office changed owners last year and the front desk seemed nice at the beginning. This situation is disappointing because I like the doctors at this facility. My daughter and I will be going to another optometrist. read more

brookhurst opt. continues to amaze me my child is doing ortho k while theres a lot of follow up appointments i have never had an issue w scheduling. upon arrival i am seen quickly. dr chi always explains things and provides time for questions. billing was clear. my husband bought some sunglasses and nancy helped pick out frames that fit his face. because the whole office is amazing i going to switch my child here. his original optometist just suckkkkkkked compared to here. its a drive for me but worth it. read more

I took my little cousin to the office last month and noticed she was squinting at everything, which made me think her eyes needed a routine check-up. It took me a while to write this review because I wanted to fully assess our experience, especially since she ended up getting Ortho-K lenses. She had just arrived from Japan and her English was limited, but the doctor and staff were incredibly patient and kind, thoroughly explaining the reasons, steps, and process of her treatment to both her and her mom. I'm so pleased with the experience here. It's unbelievable that her previous doctor never prescribed the right lenses for her eyes, causing her to strain and struggle to see clearly. With her Ortho-K treatment, she's now able to see without glasses. Lina helped our whole family got Rx glasses and sunglasses! She was so attentive and helpful choosing the right style for each of us. A huge thank you to Brookhurst Optometric for your exceptional services! read more
