I came across this optometry from my insurance page and I'm really glad I did!…read more I usually go to big optometry (L*nscraft*rs) but that day they rejected me for being 12 minutes late to my eye exam appointment (their late policy is 10 minutes). Anywho I was scrambling to find another optometry because that was the only off day from my child that I had. Found this place and they happened to have an opening that day. This place is not big but they were so efficient!!! I walked in and before I even uttered a word they already greeted me and started the form process. Mind you it was my first time there but I already felt so welcomed. I was in an out of the eye exam literally within 20 minutes and extra 10 minutes for ordering and payment. THIRTY MINUTES and I'm out of the door! I really appreciate the swiftness and the friendliness. As long as I live in the Bay Area this will be my go to optometry from now on!!!

Normally, they are great, but today they had some issues, namely being way overbooked and understaffed. Our appointment was for 11am for an eye exam and checkup/followup for my mother's macular degeneration/cataracts/and overall vision health. Front of house: 3 stars. Very crowded and long wait in the waiting room. At least it was clean, but they clearly did not have enough chairs for the throngs of patients waiting for their eye exams. The receptionists were pre-occupied gossiping & chatting instead of greeting patients. When we finally were able to check in, the receptionist was pretty cold and unwelcoming. Over the phone, they are all very nice and attentive, but in person, they seemed to care more about their personal lives than helping their patients. While waiting, I did walk around and browse the very expensive eyeglasses. I found one that I liked for myself and I was stunned at the cost: $550 just for the frames. Add lenses and extras and it would be $800-1000. Nice, quality, attractive stuff, but no thanks. The designer stuff from Oakley, Maui Jim, etc was all around 2x the retail price from what I know about their costs. But I guess this is Burlingame, and people will pay those premium prices, just because they can afford it? Not me. Anyways, back to the service... Technician/nurse/first assistant: 5 stars. A lady named Donna was the best part of this clinic. Her chair side manner, patience, attention to detail, efficiency, care, and thoroughness were very impressive. She really took great care of my mother as she guided her gently through the process of the eye exam, x-rays, and tests. She was wonderful and I can tell that she loves her job helping people at this clinic. She was very clear, very sensitive, took her time doing all the procedures, and her professionalism & kind spirit are top-notch. We spent the most time with her at the screening machines, then later in the exam room. She is single-handedly, the best part of this clinic. The doctor: after such a pleasant and fantastic experience with Donna the technician, Dr Chern made us wait approximately 45 minutes only to come in, mutter a few quick words, then quickly ran off to deal with other overbooked patients. He was professional, but very short and cold. He seemed to care more about moving on to the next patient, not really interested in listening to or answering my mother's questions. I've never seen a doctor who seemed so rushed and preoccupied with moving on with his day. This is probably prof the they are indeed overbooked here, and as other Yelpers have said, this place does feel like a mill or conveyor belt. Anyways, he saw us for all of about 1-2 minutes and quickly disappeared. When we asked to speak to him about other questions, the receptionist said that he was already with his other patients. Oh well, at least we got to meet him. One star for his rush and inability to spend a little more time with us, despite making us wait 45 minutes for his surprise appearance. All in all, the clinic is ok. The phone call and the technician were the best aspects of their operation. The reception and doctors were pretty cold, rushed, detached, and focused on other things not about us. Donna gets 5-stars for saving this overall experience. She is real, genuine, caring, gentle, efficient, professional, and engaged in her job. The clinic does suffer from overbooking, long wait times, rushed appointments, and cold doctors. The eyeglass center suffers from extremely high & unnecessarily inflated pricing of not even the highest end of designer glasses. The office is clean, crowded, but conveniently located near 101/Millbrae/Peninsula Hospital. Ample parking, and a nice modern building. I only wish that the front of the house and the doctors here were as stellar as Donna the technician. That would indeed create a 5-star experience, but today, they only got 3, and that's because of the incredible exam that was administered by Donna!

Never go here. The service is unbelievably bad -- even if someone were trying to give the worst,…read moremost disrespectful service possible, they couldn't match what this business does. They don't answer the phone. Or they answer and put you on hold for 20 minutes, then never pick up. If you do manage to get a human, you get a different answer and a different runaround every time, but no resolution. They've got some strange rigid procedures that are geared toward inconveniencing patients. It's always "I can't do that. There is only one person here who takes care of insurance, or prescriptions, etc." We tried for a month to get a copy of a recent prescription, and after a month of calling every other day, we never got it. We just gave up. This is a negative five stars.
