most attentive, knowledgeable and very patient friendly. highly recommend this practice!

My son and myself both had "first" appoinments with Dr. Chen. We both had great experiences - she and the entire staff are professional but personable. We are both happy with our eyeglasses and I would not hesitate to recommend her. read more

I moved recently into the area and had to find a new optometrist. As a new patient, I found everyone at Concourse Optometry to be very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The initial paperwork was easy to fill. I had my eye tests done by a very kind professional who made me feel comfortable during them. Dr. Chen was very professional, thorough, and communicated well. I felt very comfortable and will be going back again. They took extra time to show me glasses and assisted me to find ones that complimented my face and looked great on. read more

Dr. Julie Chen is THE BEST! It's nice to have a neighborhood eye doctor that takes the time to discuss your overall eye health, but also has a vested interest in your wellbeing. She has been my Optometrist for the last 4 - 5 years and was an integral part of my clearance to get Lasik. Even though my vision is now 20/20 I STILL use Dr. Chen for my follow ups and never hesitate to make an appointment if I have questions/concerns. The entire office is incredibly friendly and professional. read more

The quality and service I received at Concourse Optometry was second to none. Dr. Chen and her staff were great, super friendly and and extremely knowledgeable. The exam I received was thorough and was the best exam I have ever received. Dr. Chen went over everything and explained everything in a competent and efficient manner. Highly recommend read more

Dr. Julie Chen was very nice and informative. She is very thorough and makes sure all you questions are answered. Their environment is clean with a large selection of frames to choose from. Last but no least the staff is just as friendly and helpful. read more

Amazing, kind and very thoughtful doctor! Her examination is very thorough and she gives you professional feedback based on what will be best for you and your lifestyle. I am a new patient and very happy to have found her. The staff is super friendly and helpful as well. Location of the office is great, parking was not an issue, however, I did come mid afternoon on a tue. read more

This is a great place! I've been to a few optometrists over the years and I'm so glad to have found Dr Chen. She is super nice and helpful. Her and her staff make you feel really comfortable and part of the optometry family. Also Mike and Madeleine are great as well! I always have a hard time finding glasses for my wide face shape. I love their enthusiasm with helping me pick out glasses. They make it so much fun and I appreciate their comments on each pair I try on. read more

Eye health has become more important over the years and Dr Chen and her staff are always very welcoming and make the exam a very pleasant experience. She talks through her findings in a way that helps you understand what she is looking for and when all is said and done they have a great variety of frames to shop from. read more

I have been wearing glasses for a long time and have been to so many different optometrist and hardly ever write reviews but this needs one. ITS THE BEST!!! Everyone is so kind and caring but so very efficient! Thank you Concourse Optomerty! read more

I would not trust anyone else with my vision health other than Dr. Chen. She is extremely friendly, thorough and answers all of my questions, no matter how crazy. The staff is also wonderful, they make you feel very welcome. read more

Always outstanding service at Concourse! I really appreciate everyone's efficiency and kindness. Dr. Chen is incredibly friendly and intelligent and always makes me feel at ease. She has excellent bedside manner. I wish I found this place sooner! read more

Dr. Chen is wonderful. She takes the time to listen and meet your needs and her staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

I have worn contacts and eye glasses for over 15 years and have always been a stickler with my Optometrist's. I have switched because my last optometrist moved which was a blessing because he was terrible. Dr. Chen was very comprehensive and informative. She took her time with me and I never felt rushed through anything. I was given great recommendations for some LASIK Doctors so I look forward to doing more research and proceeding with this anticipated surgery! ($1000 OFF for being a referral). So grateful to have found her through Yelp and would definitely highly recommend her and the team here! read more

Dr Chen and staff are great! Glad I was referred to them.

My visit with Concourse Optometry and Dr. Chen was superb! I felt very welcomed as soon as I walked in. Dr. Chen took her time with my exam and was very friendly and courteous. Her staff was very helpful and patient in helping me pick out a pair of glasses. I look forward to going back again. read more

You guys are great. Super friendly, competent, and you clearly care about your patients! I know I'm getting great care and enjoy the experience! read more

I want to preface this review by pointing out that my initial experience with Concourse optometry was not the greatest however after rescheduling my appointment and coming to the conclusion that the initial mix up was something that was out of their hands I felt compelled to update my review. The rescheduled appointment went well, the office is nicely decorated with large, modern comfy chairs that although minimal, made the wait time very comfortable. Both Dr. Chen and her staff were very professional and very pleasant and make you feel welcomed the moment you walk in. I liked that they take proper precautions for the current situation we live in by taking your temperature at the door and of course having everyone wearing masks and everything being sanitized after every use. The actual exam experience was also great, Dr. Chen was very thorough and she takes the time to actually listen and explain everything so you understand it, which I believe is a bit rare with doctors nowadays. I will be back for a follow up in a couple of weeks but after such a great experience I have no doubt I will be coming to this practice for all my future optometry needs. read more

Nice staff! Dr. Chen is caring and very kind as well. She took the time to ask me questions and understand how my eyes are working. Found the cutest pair of frames with everyone's help! read more

Genuine, honest, and professional. Dr. Chen and her entire staff is always so courteous every time. Especially during these times, they take extra steps to sanitize and make sure her office and procedures are clean and safe. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an honest and genuine optometrist. read more

De Chen is awesome!! Full heartedly appreciate her taking the time to see me on a short notice after I had a bit of an emergency. I'm grateful for her taking the time to exam my injured eye and prescribing me eye drops that have basically made the issue go away within the last 3 days. read more

Dr Chen and the entire staff were so nice. We had an urgent eye issue and they quickly fit us in. Highly recommend.

Dr. Chen is amazing! I came in a year ago due to my poor eyesight, expected a quick analysis and prescription glasses. She took her time analyzing my eyes, gave me my diagnosis, keratoconus. She explained exactly what keratoconus was and proceeded to give me the best options for my eyes. We agreed on hard contacts and she took her time in getting me the perfect fit and let me tell you I was amazed by the dramatic change in my eyesight. Her team is the best! They always greet me with kindness whether its over the phone or in person and always make the best effort to make sure I am comfortable during my visit. The whole office is great! I would definitely recommend them to any of my friends and family. read more

Organized and friendly staff. Doctor was thorough and answered all my questions. I received timely responses when communicating via text.

I highly recommend trusting your eyes to Dr Chen and can't comment their friendly and helpful staff enough to offer you great suggestions for glasses that will fit and frame your face. Dr. Chen has excellent bedside manner. She's a caring professional, informative, and diagnosed my issue immediately. Apparently at my last Costco eye visit, I was given too strong of a prescription. My vision was blurry and I assumed it was getting bad due to old age. That wasn't the case and she fixed me up straight away and offered a better solution. I felt immediate relief. That childhood feeling of fleeting happiness you chase all your life? Dr Chen is able to give that you if you choose her to protect your eyes. I haven't gotten to the best part. Her expert 'glass-choosing' staff recommended a major upgrade to my eyeglass wearing situation. I thought I was fine with my RayBans (which was incredibly difficult to find sunglasses to frame my face) but they're super heavy compared to these new ones. So I went ahead and invested the extra $$$ to get practically indestructible frames that accent my life for mid-century modern. I am always apprehensive with loud fashion statements or change but this was a welcoming addition and they all made me feel completely at ease. Which is pretty difficult considering I'm so high-anxiety about anything that goes on or into my body. THANK YOU! I love my new Mykita Decades Meghan glasses!! read more

Dr. Chen is the best in the business! Been going here for 8 years and counting. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an optometrist. read more

Dr. Julie Chen has been my optometrist for the last 4 years. She always takes her time with every visit and makes me feel very taken care of. They have been so cautious with this pandemic, taking temperatures, requiring masks and a pre-screening of your activity to ensure everyone is safe. Many thanks to her and staff for continued care and safety! read more

Dr. Julie is very warm, caring, and friendly. Her staff are all very professional and helpful as well. We've been long time customers and we love coming in to see (haha!) the crew and catch up with the latest happenings! Also, the selection of frames to choose from is awesome!! read more

I moved recently to the area and was referred to Concourse. I had a great experience. The front staff is very helpful and knowledgable as well. . Thank you. read more

I think 5 stars is exaggerated from someone who's been to optometrists and ophthalmologists for over 30 years all over Orange County. I've lived in Irvine almost 15 years now so I suppose I should be used to over pricing. I went here because I just moved across the street and didn't think it'd cost much more. Imagine my sticker shock when they hand me a $500 bill. I'm used to paying nothing with insurance. Instead of asking me how many boxes of contacts I wanted or reviewing the exam prices they slap me with a bill, and I was the one who had to ask questions. The same contact lenses were almost double the cost! I understand a little price increase but no. Buy from Costco or any online company. They tried to charge me $105/box. I remember paying $55/box at Costco but was unsure about inflation. Went straight home and researched and was $65-69/box average. Costco must be less, but I didn't call. Also, they give you about 5 forms to sign. I ended up getting charged $50 more! I told them they didn't disclose this. They said, oh it's on the paperwork and you should have read it. Okk I would never say that to a customer. I work in finance with customer service. I explain everything no matter if someone was investing $100k or $1m because I do not assume everyone has the same knowledge. i can afford $50, but that left such a bad taste in my mouth. I left without buying anything and my exam cost $120. I won't be back or recommend this place. Doctor was sweet and nice but also used too much industry jargon. Again, I'm in customer service. You can't assume we all know "eye doctor"verbiage so that would be my critique for the doctor. read more

Dr Julie was great and very informative! Never pushed for any treatments but was open and transparent with my treatment options. I'd highly recommended her to anyone who was looking for an optometrist or eye check. read more

Love Dr. Chen, she is very personable and she takes her time with me Her staff is very professional and they wipe down after each patient. read more

First time visit switching from another optomistrist and I'm glad I did. Amazing staff and Optomistrist! Highly recommend!

Dr. Chen is excellent at what she does and her care and personality left a mark on me. Her office is clean and her staff are all very helpful. They also have a wide range of high end frames to choose from, but what impressed me most was how diligent she was. I hate to admit it but I can be a tough customer and she didn't make me ever feel that her time was more valuable than the care I received even if it meant her going above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied! read more

Dr. Chen was highly recommended by my endocrinologist and I understand why. She is thorough, professional, and pleasant. Her support staff is the same. The various technological instruments used for my exam are impressive. I recently had my second annual exam and was pleased to experience the same treatment as my initial exam. I appreciate all the safeguards in place for the pandemic and I felt very comfortable during my appointment. read more

Dr. Chen is the reason we continue to come back to Concourse optometry. I have never before been to an optometrist who takes such a personal interest in her patients. She has a great personality and you can tell she is very skilled as a doctor as well. She is the very best optometrist I have ever been to and I have seen many. I highly recommend Dr. Chen. They also have a very nice selection of glasses to choose from if you need glasses. read more

Dr. Chen is the best in her field. Not only is she an amazing doctor who is careful to explain everything in layman's terms, but she seems to really care about her patients as well. She remembers details of my life that I have shared with her sometimes over a year prior! I highly recommend giving Dr. Chen a try. She won't disappoint. read more

I really love my experiences at Concourse Optometry. Dr. Chen and staff are all great at what they do, not to mention wonderfully kind and a pleasure to visit. I have referred friends and coworkers and will continue to do so! Can't wait to go back in the spring. Also, love the convenient location close to many offices in Irvine -- makes it really easy to schedule a lunch/daytime appointment. read more

The staff is so friendly welcoming. Dr. Chen is so thorough and very sweet. I will definitely be recommending her to my family and friends. She is the best eye doctor I have ever had... and I've had quite a few. read more

Having glasses my whole life, I can honestly say the team at Concourse are, by far, the friendliest and most helpful people I've had the pleasure of working with. Whether I am going in for an appointment or stopping by to adjust a contact lense, I am met with genuine smiles, and great conversation. Dr. Chen is fantastic to work with and is able to clearly explain the complicated (and sometimes scary sounding) aspects of each instrument or exam. Not only are the services and products offered top notch, but the location of the office in relation to my workplace make an already pleasant experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend Concourse Optometry to anyone! read more
