I've been going to see Dr. Melrose for the the last 10 years or so. He makes his time with the patient a top priority. The staff is also very accommodating and friendly. I would recommend them for anyone looking for an eye doctor that they want for a long time. read more

Henry Truong, OD is a very good dr. i had chow, and skinner,but he was the one i settled for

Thanks to the staff here I can see again ! I recommend to anyone who is looking for a good deal on glasses. This has been the most economic place to get good sturdy glasses at read more

Just went to Dr. Melrose for an exam and new glasses. I could not have asked for better care! The dr. and his staff were so kind and efficient that I will definitely be returning for any and all future eye care. read more

Dr. Rosemary Melrose is fantastic! I've been seeing her for 15+ years and is very friendly, thorough, listens carefully, and caring. She is wonderful with children, my 11 yr old can't wait till the 1st of the year so she can have her eye exam! The techs in the glass section are always so helpful picking out what glasses look best for my face and I didn't once feel rushed. The only bad experience I've ever had is with the billing department, and this was only one time in all the years I've been going there. My mom took my daughter to pick up her glasses. My daughter was fitted and was told to have a nice day and never sent to the billing window (that is usually what happens if you owe still). There was still some $ owed on the glasses but they kept sending the bill to the wrong address, I didn't even know about it till they called my mom (who is also a patient) demanding $. I called to inform them that they've been sending it to the wrong address and was told they won't change my address till the bill was paid with ALL the late payment fees. She was very rude and treated me like I was a deadbeat even though this was the first outstanding bill I've ever had with them and part of it was their issue. I make sure to never make payment arrangements and pay for the glasses in full so I never have to talk to her again. read more

It's been 3 yrs since I have gotten my eyes checked. Brookside Optometric was recommend to me by my two managers!! I went in to see Dr. Demshar. He was super nice and friendly. Also the staff was super friendly as well. The price I paid today was totally in my budget. Can't wait for my new pair of glasses come in and I highly recommend this place.. Great environment , great staff and Dr. Demshar is awesome!! :) I'm totally keeping this place and never switching.. And will tell my family and friends to come here!! :) read more

Staff were all nice and helpful. I had Dr. Vanover for years now and he's been great all these years.

DR VANOVER!!!! I only went to him because my boyfriend, his mom, and his little brother recommended him. Let me explain, I had already walked in with doubt. I've been told from TWO different optometrist's from kaiser that they can't help me. So I thought maybe nobody really can. This optometrist, from Brookside, DR VANOVER! He made me feel so comfortable, I was well informed. Especially about what was going on with my eyes. He gave me tips, made sure everything was right made sure I wasn't confused about anything. Took care of my concerns and he never made me feel rushed at all. He made sure I understood everything he was doing all procedures and etc. love this place and thank you to Dr.Vanover! :) read more

I moved to the Central Valley less than a year ago and couldn't find anyone at work who could recommend somewhere for me to get glasses. So I checked out Yelp and found Brookside - very convenient location, same-day appointments available, just what I needed. My experience at Brookside was nothing but pleasant. My eye doctor was patient and great at kindly and firmly keeping me from unconsciously moving away from the testing equipment (go ahead and laugh, you know you do it too). The kindly technician who helped me choose glasses must have brought me at least a hundred sets of frames to try on and didn't tease me much when I ended up with one of the first pairs I'd tried in the end. If you're looking for a new eye doctor, I highly recommend going to Brookside. read more

Brookside Optometric Group deserves this 5 star rating because of their exams and customer service. Dr. Demshar explains what He is doing and answers all my questions. They hired a male staff employee and I loved to see the diversity. Brookside Optometric Group should be your first choice for eye exams. The appointments are on time and there is no wait. Love love this group. read more

the receptionist in the front singing horribly was very annoying. I'll never come here again!

Dr. Skinner is the man and a half, has handled my eyes, helped my mother with Lasik, and is my younger sisters' optometrist as well. Pretty good selection of frames to choose from as well and with your VSP plan you get a great deal every time. read more

I have been seeing the optometrists here at Brookside Optimetic for over 20 years now. This is the first time in the last 2 years that someone actually sounded respectful on the telephone! Her name was Iris. Hopefully more of the clerks can become more respectful when they communicate with people. read more

I'm only giving 4 stars (for now) since I'm new to this clinic and I have only been here twice. So far both times the staff were really nice and pleasant. Dr. Vanover was great and make sure that you understand everything. Sharon was great, she helped me pick out my glasses & explained the billing details very well. Nicole was wonderful & accommodating in helping me get fitted for my new glasses. Looking forward to my next appointment next year! read more

I love Dr. Scheer to pieces! I could not be happier with her as my optometrist and the ladies who work at the counter have always been very sweet. Granted I've only ever come in for frame fittings, check ups and ordering contacts I still love this place and feel very settled with my choice to have Brookside Optometry as my main eye care provider, partly because its quiet and in the neighborhood but mainly because of Dr.Scheer! She is bright, caring, fun, knowledgeable, relatable and makes me feel so comfortable and I always look forward to my check ups. You're in great hands with her! read more

Brookside optometric group provided great service. My first time there was a great experience. Dr. Melrose is a great doctor and very friendly. There are manny glasses to choose from, and there is no rush for you to decide what you want. The employees there are very helpful when it comes to picking the glasses that fit best for you and your comfort. Many designer glasses and variety to choose from so take your time. read more

Best optometrist EVER! Dr. Melrose is just the most wonderful, friendliest, most accurate optometrist I have ever been to. Stop looking anywhere else, I'm serious you will not regret choosing this doctor! read more

First class all the way, from the warm welcome in the waiting room to the most thorough eye exam that could possibly exist on this earth to the show room where you pick out your frames brookside optometric was a grand slam. I would recommend this place to anyone that is interested in a top-notch experience while working with friendly people. Dr. Kurt Skinner is a friendly person that talks you through the journey that he takes you on. Bravo Brookside, bravo. read more

Friendly service. It was my first eye exam in years so I was nervous, but Dr. Winnick was awesome! He was very informative. They were also very patient with me while I chose my new frames and even helped me find the perfect pair. I will definitely be returning to Brookside Optometric! read more

Having read several of the outstanding reviews, and needing to pass a D.O.T. physical including eye exam, I went ahead and dialed the office since I wanted to know what to expect and what sort of services were offered. Amazingly, I dialed four times in half an hour, and nobody appeared available to answer my call. On to the next one on my list, sorry folks.... read more

I went to brookside to get a new subscription. Dr. Vo-Laurel had helped me at another practice in Dublin and I followed her to Stockton because she is an AMAZING optometrist. She cares about her patients and makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable. She is on time and quick and on point. I don't like getting the air blown into my eyes for a certain test and she had another way to do it which was way better. She wants everyone to be happy and she helped me see better! I live in SF and I will continue to go to Stockton to use Dr. Vo-Laurel as my optometrist and I would recommend her to anyone! read more

Made an appointment with Dr. Girn. Let's just say he's absolutely amazing. Very patient and takes his time to address questions and concerns. At no point did I ever feel rushed or "like another number" I will definitely continue to book my yearly exams with Brookside and as well with Dr. Girn. Very satisfied with the entire staff. Thank you all for the sweet specs and new contacts! read more

I have been coming here for years. Dr Fuji is wonderful!

Wonder who to go to for your eyes? Easy answer, Dr Loo. I have never gone to such a patient, caring and excellent doctor as Dr Loo. When he walks in the room to see you, it is Your time. He listens, cares, does all the testing, and I never walk out of there feeling any less than great for his thoroughness and knowledge. He continues to be that way after years of going to him. Go to him. You will be relieved to finally find a great doctor. Patty read more

The doctors and their staff are always very helpful. Dr. Bob has been taking care of my family for over 2O years.

Got my eyeglasses here a month ago and I'm glad I came here. One of the technicians that was helping me pick out frames was really helpful and she was nice enough to pull different frames that are close to my preference. She worked with me on my budget/ coverage and I didnt feel like I was being pressured. read more

Had high hopes but very disappointed. Got there early as directed to fill out paperwork but then the receptionist didn't give me any. Ultimately doctor had to ask me all the questions. I don't think she was happy about it. Optometrist was nice but really pushed the expensive upgrades. Felt like I was buying a car instead of glasses. Real issues started when I went two weeks later to pick up glasses. Something went wrong and I had to hold book up to my nose to read things! Two week wait again and it was only slightly improved. Girl says just take them home and try them. I was already getting a headache and couldn't hold anything I wanted to read up to my nose so I said no!! Get it right!! Two weeks later I picked them up. Lenses work but glasses keep falling off. I give up. I'll find someplace that cares about their patients. No one ever apologized or tried to make up for all the inconvenience. I won't recommend them!!!!! read more

Doctor Girn is the man. he super helpful and he really cares and listens to you doesn't just try to get you out of there. he's also very intelligent and you can tell he knows what he's talking about. definitely continuing to go to him he's awesome and he makes going to the eye doctor really enjoyable and not boring at all. read more

I went to Rosemary Melrose and my life was changed, my poor eyes have been looked at by two different optometrist and neither of them found what she found. I am so incredibly thankful for her. She was so patient and listened to everything I had to say. I would recommend her to everyone. read more

I will give it a 5 star if it's just the Doctors. We just moved here in Stockton and I was looking for a good Optometrist. My son wears glasses since he was in 3rd grade (5yrs now). I am very careful on choosing doctors for my son, I researched for a long time before I even try to make appointments. Our visit here went from very good to annoying bad! We made appointment and saw Dr Kathy Tran - she is FANTASTIC! Very smart, knowledgeable, great work with my son, she explained what she's doing making sure my son is comfortable, she took time in answering our questions and very sweet. And they have a state of the art equipment. To be clear.... Dr. Kathy Tran is 5 Star!! After she examined my son's eyes she turned us in to one of their staff/technician to choose my son's frame.... NOW the experience is turning to annoying bad... first of all, she was not good on making suggestions, I've been to a lot (we've got 9 glasses in last 5yrs) of optometry where techs are very good on looking at your facial shape and they know what size and shape will look good on you. This asian lady in Brookside just keep giving my son whatever she can grab that she thinks same shape that my son was looking for. She RUSHED me on choosing my son's glasses, every time I handed one to my son she make gestures, she did not make any conversations with us what so ever! When my son picked one (but I thought was too big to his face), she keeps saying to me... "he likes this" and when I tried to looked for another one she went to my son and say... "you like this, right?". She even started writing on her form and worked on mys son's frame when she knew I was still looking. I really felt RUSHED. When she was working on the prices, she wasn't explaining what she was doing/writing and did not even gave us choices.... My son had to asked for the transition lenses (good thing this is my son's 7th glasses so he knew!), I asked for poly lenses. I will come back to see Dr. Tran but I will make sure that lady does not help me choosing my frame. If they will give her to help me again... I will never come back! If I'm the one paying and wearing the glasses, it better be on my own liking and I want to make sure it's what I like... not settle for something because THAT technician is in a hurry!! read more

Dr. Winnick was very professional and helpful with my eye care. He followed up with me and helped me get the right medical attention I needed. 6 months after I saw him, he called to check on me and how I was doing. Had Dr. Winnick not followed up with my eye care, I could have lost vision in one of my eyes. Thanks to him, I am recovering very well, and my eye sight is back to 20/20. If you're looking for an optometrist who really cares about his patients, please ask for Dr. Winnick. He really cares. read more

Dr. Hisaka and Dr. Fuji are the best optometrists I have ever had! They get to know you on a personal level so they're not just your dr's, they are your friends! The office is very nice and the staff are extremely friendly!!! read more

Under construction ....These optometrists are truly superb. I usually see Dr. Skinner, or the owner or senior partner, who also teaches at U.C. Berkeley's School of Optometry. But each and all of them are truly superb. They do great work, with great customer service, delivering precision results. And they are always happy to adjust or repair your glasses. I not only go there myself, but also refer all my friends, relatives & family members here too. I just can't recommend them highly enough! Just try them, and you'll see (no pun intended), and you'll be thanking me later! read more

Best visit to the eye doctor ever Dr.Girn was amazing asked me questions no other Doctor ever bothered to ask.I would definitely recommend this group to any and everyone never left An eye doctor visit feeling so greatt read more

My family and I have been with Dr. Chow for over 6 years and she is the best! She knows out history and what we need. She takes the time to get to know us personally. She also takes the time to make sure our eyes are healthy in all ways possible. It could be hard to make an appointment with her but she does have a team and you can see the other doctors if she's not there. read more

Came in today To have my glasses readjusted. Very nice person helped me but when she went to clean the glasses apparently there was something in the machine and it scratched my right lense right down the middle where my vision line is. She felt bad and apologized stated that I could take my glasses with me now and use them until the new lenses come in. I asked to speak to the manager there and another lady came out and talked to me and I asked her to have these overnighted but again no promises were made because they just don't know about the lab and it's in San Diego and blah blah and I told her put a rush on them I need to be able to see out of these glasses I don't have another pair. I have a non-glare coating on my glasses and they told me they were going to put the coating back on the new lenses but they were only going to warrant them for 1 year instead of 2. And why is that I wondered out loud were they expecting it to fail? No that's just what they were directed to do by their office manager. That's ridiculous this is unacceptable and I am posting a bad review on an optometry place that I have frequented for 25 years. Very poor business where is the owner? read more

Been coming here for the past 4-5 years or so. I've seen both Dr. Chow and Dr. Sheer. They are both awesome and answer all my questions clearly and thoroughly. Love that they have a very good selection of frames here, too! read more

Loved the staff here from the start. They had appointments available the same week which is hard to find anywhere else. Dr. Melrose took his time with my exam and during the exam he was explaining about LASIK in the future for me since I was curious about it. It was great knowing what I needed to do when the time comes. Martha helped me with picking frames and went out of her way to order some frames that I wanted that I couldn't find there. When my glasses came in, Jennifer did a great job adjusting my glasses and making sure that I was satisfied with the outcome. read more

I have been coming to Brookside Optical for years now...I really like Dr Vanover. Great selection of frames too.

I came back to get my glasses. I was early, an hour, due to them partying on a Friday. The doctors are great though. But their first line of defense and other office personal have something left to be desired. They're not real friendly. It's just business as usual, and "get 'em in and get 'em out", to them. read more
