I popped in at 1:00 PM and was pleasantly surprised to be able to pick up my glasses the same day at 5:00 PM. (Note -- turnaround time may vary depending on your prescription.) Professional service, great communication, and super quick turnaround -- I'm really happy with my experience and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for quality eyewear and excellent customer care!

I have purchased many pairs of eyeglasses, and have never had such a bad experience! I paid over…read more$1,000 out of pocket for my glasses. My eyeglasses made me extremely dizzy and nauseated. Their optometrist (who I saw two times and was late 40 minutes for my appt) did not know what the issue was. I spoke to another optometrist at a different company recently and he explained why I was having issues with my glasses. The optometrist at View Optical and the staff who I saw do NOT know how to handle progressive lenses. After my second appt with the optometrist, she sent me to a front office staff, and said he would help me resolve the issue. Joe tells me I have to select a smaller frame. I asked him how small, and he tells me he has to see it on my face??? Really??? There are sizes on the eyeglass frames! After trying on multiple frames and being told they were not small enough, Joe chose a frame and tells me it's the right size. He took it back to the optometrist who said it was STILL too big! The optometrist told me she would call the lab manager to get his opinion. Then I find out I have to come back AGAIN to meet with the lab manager! I was DONE at that point, but was told I had to meet with the lab manager first before I could receive a refund! I finally received a call from the lab manager (Joseph) and he said he understood my issue. I asked for a complete refund. It took nearly a month and a half, and hours of wasted time since ordering my glasses to get my money back. This review is for all who wear progressive lenses. Find a place where they guide you on the proper size frame to buy. A place where the optometrist understands how progressive prescriptions affect your vision and avoid a lot of frustration and wasted time.

Tri-City Optometry is the gold standard for bad customer service…read more This review is written on behalf of my sister, who is hesitant to post under her own name because she recently purchased an expensive pair of glasses here and is worried about possible issues or retaliation if she needs repairs in the coming year. Dr. Shital Chatwani rushes through the appointment, speaks down to the patient, does not answer questions clearly, and becomes visibly impatient when questions are asked. The entire interaction felt less like a medical appointment and the clear priority seemed to be getting the patient out quickly and into ordering expensive glasses, rather than taking time to explain things or address concerns. It honestly felt like dealing with a businessperson more than a doctor. Unfortunately, the poor experience did not stop with the doctor. The overall leadership and culture of this office seems weak, and it shows in the behavior of the staff. There are many employees walking around, yet when customers have questions, they often say "I'm busy" and walk away without offering to find someone else to help. In a professional practice, you would expect at least a basic effort to redirect you to another staff member. That simply does not happen here. The staff appear selectively nice to people they are trying to secure business from but otherwise the service is consistently rude, rushed, and unhelpful. The overall attitude is 'take it or leave it.' Even when there is no problem, you are treated with disregard. If there is a problem, I would not trust this office to handle it with care or professionalism. There are many excellent optometrists who accept VSP and other insurance plans. I strongly encourage people to look elsewhere and consciously choose to support a practice that actually respects its patients.

I always have gone back to Dr. Flores because she is amazing, kind, and super knowledgeable. She always takes the time to answer my questions and explain things even when their office is very busy (which is always). It makes me feel cared for and I leave feeling like I have a better understanding about my vision. When Dr. Flores has been unavailable, I've also seen Dr. Lam. One time a couple years ago, I had an eye infection and I was desperate to get some antibiotic drops. For some reason, my insurance wouldn't cover the prescription and Dr. Lam did everything she could to make sure we could find a way to get the prescription covered or at least at a lower cost. While I was at the pharmacy, Dr. Lam made herself available in between clients to call me on the phone and ensure things were working out for me. She even offered to speak with the pharmacist themselves. Last but not least, the office manager Sandra has been amazing over the years with her customer service skills and taking care of my needs. When I called to make my annual appointment, I mentioned I was running low on contacts and wanted to come in to update my prescription and order more. When I went in for my visit last week, she had already put together some trial contacts for me to take home because she knows I have a pretty bad prescription and wanted to make sure I didn't go without contacts since it takes about a week for my contact order to ship. On top that, when I went yesterday to pick up my contact order, she offered me to pull up to the curb and she'd bring the box out to me. She handed me the box and sent me home with a little chocolate! That made my day. Overall, the service here at Flores Optometry is amazing and I will continue to be a patient here forever. The other staff members are always VERY kind and helpful and it seems like they do a great job working together and enjoy working together. It's always a pleasant visit and great vibes. THANK YOU :)

They assist you from behind the counter and I can imagining that being challenging and if you're getting multi-focals, potentially inaccurate. I know this being a former optician myself.

Didn't have to be "perfect," but doable, cause these were going to be back ups and I need to use my HSA. I started pre-shopping for myself, and could not find anything my size, and everything available is on display. I know the inventory always changes. Maybe it was just the timing. I'm in no rush.

That's right. A contact ripped in my eye and I could not for the life of me remove the separated piece. This meant hours of going around with an eye that was watering like mad and very uncomfortable. Luckily for me, I was able to make a same day appt here to get my eye examined and the contact removed. Everyone was so friendly and kind from the moment I called to when I left, contact-free. If it weren't for AV's efficient and timely services, I probably would have had to go to urgent care. Thank you AV doctors and staff for helping a girl out on an uncharacteristically eventful Friday - I really appreciate it and would recommend your services to anyone.
