    Dr Mallari saved my career
    Graeme H.

    I've had great vision all my life, so fortunately, I've not had to see the Optometrist.   However, my employer has mandated I have 20/20 vision or corrected 20/20. I felt I was getting to the age where I was borderline and that means time to visit the eye doc. One problem!  I was terrified of the Eye Doctor or the fact I had to wear glasses.  Why was I so scared? Really no reason, just the unknown. What would glasses be like.  How will it feel? How will I feel to see through them? What if I get a wrong Rx....The thoughts kept running in my mind.       I truly remember shaking when I drove to the Office. However, as I walked in all that nervousness suddenly disappeared.  I was warmly welcomed by the staff and they assured me I was at home.   My appointment started right on time and Dr. Mallari patiently walked me through a series of eye health tests she was going to perform on me.  I had tons of questions (I'm sure silly sounding to her), but she patiently and thoroughly talked me through my concerns and unfounded fears.  Dr Malari performed no less than 13 exams on me, and fortunately, for not having any eye exams for 38 years, my eye health was normal. One of the tests excited me.  A color blind test. I always knew I was thoroughly color blind, but what I didn't know was what kind of color blindness I was.  Not only did she explain the type of color blindness, she gave me some interesting literature on the type I had. I didn't know there were different kinds.    Dr Malari showed me photos of my eye, etc, and recommended a diet for me and tips for proper eye health, such as eliminating heavy blue wavelengths. Near vision was fine and the distance was close to 20/20 but could use a tune up.    Gulp. Time for a Rx. I was then escorted to meet Ernest, the Optician. I literally didn't know the first thing about eyeglasses.   I had probably a dozen questions for him. He patiently went over the different materials, the pros and cons for each and watched me try on what I felt as every pair in the store.      It was like I was talking with a friend. There was never, ever any pressure to buy and I actually don't even remember the point of sale, or if and when it even happened. He just said my glasses will be ready sometime next week and I came to pick them up.  I think I just made my own sale and he just went along with it. Very easy going. Dr Mallari nailed my Rx on the first go.   Amazing. As mentioned, I never had glasses before and upon putting them on it was a whole new world.   I remember exclaiming looking at a far off group of trees, that "the tree has leaves, the tree has leaves!!"     Clarity! I love my new pair and ended up ordering three! One day and one night. I love being able to drive with more confidence and not being so concerned with reading signs.           Dr Mallari, Ernest and staff are courteous, helpful, and above all, professional in every sense of the word.   They truly want to spend as much time with you until you are satisfied. One funny caveat to the story. I ended up getting my medical test for my work which includes a vision test.    Funny enough I'm still 20/20 far and near. I didn't "need" the glasses to pass the exam but love wearing them to enhance my vision.     Dr, Ernest -   THANK you for saving my career.   Thank you for providing such clarity and confidence in my work performance.   I find myself now spotting other aircraft traffic much more rapidly than before.    I appreciate all you have done for me. You literally have gone the extra mile for me, from calling insurance companies to find out if I qualify for insurance to helping me get the perfect lens fitting.      Looking forward to my next appointment.

    The best optometry in Southern CA! My family has been going here for almost 25 years and we have always been treated with the utmost care. Even though I moved much farther away, I still make the drive for all my eyecare needs. Everyone is so warm and friendly from the moment you check in to the time you pick out frames. Dr. Fernando-Langit and Dr. Khamis are simply the best. They consistently deliver genuine quality care, taking the time to thoroughly explain and educate you on your eyes. The opticians like Ernest also ensure you leave with nothing less than a positive experience getting the perfect eyewear. Visit Cerritos 2020, you will not regret it!!

    This office is exceptional in so many ways. I've never had an eye exam where I learned so much about my eye and the actual exam until I started having my exam with Cerritos 2020. Dr. Mallari-Bolado is so thorough! The attention and care I get is consistent every year. The covid protocol there is also on point! Now my glasses... I love my glasses. I usually have a hard time with knowing what looks good for the shape of my face and the office always helps with that- thank you Ernest. I'm so grateful for every person at Cerritos 2020!!

    Dim lights, video/sounds of the ocean, and lavender essential oils in the waiting room.  How relaxing!

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but after everything I've been through with America's Best, I feel…read moreother customers should know about my experience. It started at another America's Best location, where I purchased six pairs of glasses. I couldn't wear any of them because everything was blurry. After struggling with them for almost 11 months, I finally went back and asked them to recheck my prescription. I even paid for another eye exam. It turned out the original prescription was significantly wrong, which explained why none of my glasses were usable. To their credit, they agreed to replace all of the lenses. They said sorry! Unfortunately, that's when my experience with the Cerritos location became just as frustrating. When I picked up one of my repaired pairs, I immediately noticed one of the arms was crooked. As soon as I got to my car and put them on, I called the store. The employee I spoke with told me not to worry and said I could bring them back whenever I wanted. Later that day, I returned, and I was told the glasses had likely been damaged by the lab during the lens replacement process. I was assured they would replace the frame, but instead of replacing it outright, they told me I would only receive a $186 credit even though I originally paid $210 for the frame. Today I returned to resolve the issue and was helped by Rick. Unfortunately, the customer service was extremely disappointing. He was sitting on his phone when I walked in and acted as though I was interrupting him. After I explained the entire situation, his response was basically that he didn't know anything about it and that I could go pick out another pair. He never offered to walk me over, help me find a replacement, or explain the process. When I asked him to unlock a display case so I could look at a pair, he acted inconvenienced and annoyed. There was no professionalism, no empathy, and no effort to help resolve a problem that wasn't my fault. I sincerely hope management reviews the security camera footage from my visit because it clearly reflects how I was treated. This entire experience has been exhausting. First, I spent nearly a year unable to wear six pairs of glasses because of an incorrect prescription. Then one of the replacement frames was damaged during the repair process. Now I'm having to fight just to have the damaged frame replaced after being told it would be. At this point, I just want the last pair fixed so I can move on. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this location. The level of customer service was poor, the communication has been inconsistent, and the entire process has been far more difficult than it ever should have been.

    Excellent service helped me fix my glasses and I didn't purchase them here.... they're team is…read moreepic!!!!
