Cambridge Optometry Palo Alto 5/22/2021
Grey R.

Cambridge Optometry .. 5/25/2021 Very much impressed with Cambridge Optometry in Palo Alto. Naturally, it is situated on Cambridge Ave, which runs parallel to California Ave - Palo Alto's second downtown. Accompanied elderly for a new pair of prescription glasses. Researched nearby optometries, and this one topped off the list (thank you yelpers!) The plan was to just come by and check it out. Parking was easy, across the street. There's also covered parking structure available if you visit in peak times. We were greeted by Daniella, and right away, things began to look bright. She's such a good listener! Daniella took her time to explain all the technicalities in detail, in a simple way, and we felt pretty comfortable and confident in our choices. Tried on several frames, chatted about the process, weighed out various options. Signed up! Glasses were ready couple weeks later, and they fit perfectly well. You can always come back for adjustments, if needed. If you're on the market for your new glasses, check this place out, ask for Daniella!

Dr. Threlkeld is the best!!!!

She's great and kind to everyone. Expect quick, efficient attention - she carefully explains what she is doing - what you are getting tested for, etc Insurance is easily sorted out.

Wow.. I have been going to Dr. Lisa since I was 12 years old!! I went from having glasses to…read morecontacts because I was a junior competitive tennis player and Dr. Lisa taught me how to put contacts on!! I'm 38 now! I have lived all over the Bay Area and I STILL go back to her. There were a few times I had gone to other eye doctors closer to my place of residence, I still chose to go back to Dr. Lisa. Why? Because of her customer service, professionalism, she's efficient, I feel GOOD when I go see her, and that's an important feeling to have. What's great is that she is very accomodating and getting an appointment in is easy. Sometimes even the same day. There have been a few times when I had contact lens emergencies, and she would leave a few samples out for me until my new orders came in! Isn't that so nice???? No other eye doctor that I've been to has done this for me. It's spring now and my eye a couple of weeks ago had a weird bubble/blister on the WHITE part of the eye (I was rubbing my eyes too hard, yeah gross right?)... I freaked out, thought I had to go to the emergency room, and decided to call Dr. Lisa. She got on the phone w me and I sent her a picture of my eye. She told me it was nothing serious and it would go away on its own with eye drops and a cold compress.. and it worked!! I will say this: Going to Dr. Lisa for yourself or your whole family is a great decision. You will be taken cared of. She takes her work seriously and she has a presence about her that is calming and confident. She has encouraged me to try getting a LASIK consult, and she gave me a few recommendations from great colleagues. I will be doing that soon! (as long as I don't chicken out) Thanks Dr. Lisa for being my eye doctor all these years!!!

Before seeing Dr. Lam, my eyes were constantly interfering with my daily life. I was always uncomfortable, and it felt like my red, swollen eyes were the first thing people noticed about me. Since I began seeing Dr. Lam in June 2025, everything has changed. She has been instrumental in helping me find a treatment regimen that actually works. My experience with her has been completely different from any optometrist I've seen in the past. From the moment I sat down for my first exam, I felt at ease. She is warm, personable, and truly takes the time to listen and understand your concerns. What sets Dr. Lam apart is her thoughtful, comprehensive approach to care. She looks at the full picture and tailors treatment in a way that is both personalized and effective. I've tried many of the treatments she offers and have had great success with all of them. Honestly, my appointments now feel like a self-care day dedicated just to my eyes. I finally have a routine that keeps my symptoms manageable--something I didn't think was possible before working with her. Her new Sunnyvale office is absolutely beautiful, with plenty of convenient parking. I highly recommend Dr. Lam to anyone dealing with MGD or chronic dry eye issues--you'll be in truly excellent hands!

Dr. Joy Lam is one of those doctors where you immediately feel like you're in good hands. She's incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and actually takes the time to explain what's going on with your eyes instead of rushing through the appointment. I always leave feeling like I understand my eye health better. I originally came in for my routine glasses exams, and eventually decided to try contacts. If you've ever tried contacts for the first time, you know it can be... a process but Dr. Lam was the best "contact lens coach." She was patient, encouraging, and made sure I felt comfortable putting them in and taking them out before I left. She's also helped me navigate dry eye issues, which can be really frustrating, and I appreciate that she looks at the bigger picture instead of just offering a quick fix. The staff here are also wonderful. Everyone is kind, welcoming, and the whole office has a calm, positive energy that makes the experience really pleasant. You can tell this place is run with a lot of care. I'm really grateful I found Dr. Lam and the team here and would absolutely recommend them.

My visions exams previously took an hour but her set-up is so efficient that we're done within 30 minutes including testing with my glasses and contact lenses AND all the nerdy questions I ask. I've seeing Dr. O-C for a few years and also noticed that she upgrades her technology, which is a VERY important sign when selecting your health care provider!! If your insurance is accepted or the out-of-pocket price is within your range, I highly recommend EOVO! Dr. O-C came highly recommended from colleagues and I'm passing the note onto others!

I was searching for a new optometrist in the area and, based on positive reviews, scheduled an appointment with Dr. Owyang. I completed all requested patient and medical history forms in advance. About a week before my appointment, I was asked to call the office to discuss insurance and received multiple reminders to do so. I did not complete this step in time, and the day before my appointment, I received an unexpectedly harsh email from Dr. Owyang herself, in which she emphasized in all caps that my appointment would be CANCELED if I did not confirm. It appears that no time is allocated during appointments to discuss patient history or insurance, which made the process feel rushed. I would also like to note that three steps are required to be seen here: scheduling an appointment, completing the paperwork, and confirming by phone. Based on this experience, I decided to cancel my appointment, as I did not feel comfortable being treated by someone who seemed impatient and exhibited an overly aggressive demeanor. I encourage others to explore the many optometrists available in the area before choosing Dr. Owyang, as I found her approach to patient communication disappointing and potentially stressful for new patients.
