I arrived for my appointment with some time to spare to fill out any paperwork since I was a new patient. The young man at the front desk was very nice and throughly went over what information was needed and my copay amount through my insurance. Dr. Hwang completed my eye exam and she was very thorough. Luckily my injury was minor but I'll be back for a follow up appointment. I decided to make them my primary optometrist office moving forward since they're a lot closer to my home and I had a great patient experience. I recommend their office!

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Parikh and Dr. Nguyen throughout my EVO ICL selection,…read moresurgery, and follow-up care. From the very beginning, they were attentive, thorough, and incredibly reassuring. They took the time to answer my questions, explain the process clearly, and make sure I felt confident in my decision every step of the way. I even got great music and a fun squishy eye to hold onto during my surgery! :) My vision was very poor at around -7.00 in each eye, so this procedure has been life changing for me. Immediately after the surgery I could see better than I had in years! I experienced very little discomfort throughout. I can now see 15/20, and I have had no issues with my vision since the procedure. It has been amazing to wake up and be able to see immediately, and each day my eyesight just gets better and better! I am very grateful for the skill, care, and professionalism both doctors provided, and I would highly recommend Dr. Parikh and Dr. Nguyen to anyone considering EVO ICL.

I don't write many reviews, but I felt Dr. Parikh and the team at Furlong Vision deserved one…read more I had ICL surgery about a week ago, and the results have honestly been incredible. Before surgery, my prescription was around -10.00, and even with contacts I struggled to read text on my phone at night. I often needed both contacts and reading glasses just to have a chance. Less than a week after surgery, I'm seeing around 20/25 and can comfortably read even fine print. The procedure itself was completely painless, and the recovery has been far easier than I expected. As amazing as the results are, the real reason I'm writing this review is because of Dr. Parikh. Two days before my scheduled surgery, he noticed something abnormal during my pre-op exam. Instead of proceeding, he refused to do the surgery until I had my eye evaluated by a retinal specialist. Obviously, I was disappointed because I had been looking forward to finally getting the procedure, but he put my safety first without hesitation. I asked if there was any way to get in quickly, and he immediately started texting people in his network from his phone. By the next morning, one of his colleagues, Dr. Silva, was able to see me. It turned out I had a torn retina that needed to be repaired before ICL surgery. After the retina was treated, Dr. Parikh and Dr. Silva stayed in communication directly with each other over the following weeks. I didn't have to coordinate anything--they handled it all. Once Dr. Silva confirmed my retina had healed, Dr. Parikh rescheduled my procedure. To me, that's what separates a great doctor from a good one. Dr. Parikh wasn't focused on getting me into surgery as quickly as possible--he was focused on doing what was best for me. He even made himself personally available by text throughout the process, which gave me a tremendous amount of confidence. The entire staff at Furlong Vision was outstanding from start to finish--friendly, professional, and incredibly organized--but Dr. Parikh's level of care genuinely went above and beyond. I couldn't recommend Furlong Vision more highly. If you're considering vision correction, you'll be in excellent hands.

She is an exceptional optometrist in every…read morecategory -- knowledge, professionalism and perhaps most importantly, she takes the time to understand her patient's lifestyle, work habits, concerns, etc. and to ensure that her patient is completely comfortable and leaves the office with all of their questions answered. I am a person who asks a lot of questions when it comes to healthcare. I want to know the "why" and not just be told that something is the way it is. I also want to understand preventative care and the future roadmap -- what is causing something, what things can I do differently, what is the worst case / best case / likely scenario, how does my lifestyle affect things, etc. Dr. Pham patiently and comprehensively addresses these questions. Sure, good optometrists should be knowledgeable but that is the baseline requirement in my opinion and better optometrists demonstrate professionalism and good "bedside manner" so to speak. Exceptional optometrists add a level of client care, client education, patience and treats every patient interaction as one instance of a long-term relationship. Dr. Pham embodies all of those traits which is what makes her exceptional.

As I get older and my eyesight deteriorates more each year, I am annually reminded how fortunate I…read moream to have an eye doctor I love. Meet Dr. Pham and her team! The ultra-convenience and smooth professionalism is delivered to me via a one-stop-shop for all my eye care needs. With multiple family members in need of eye care, and multiple little ones to cart around, Crest Optometry has been so seamless with ALL of my needs. Crest has been our go-to optometrist since 2021. My entire family is seen by Dr. Pham and her staff and we are always very pleased with the level of service we receive. Top 5 reasons we LOVE Crest: #5 The staff is THE BEST. Who don't I love? They are all incredibly efficient and intuitive with knowing what I need, don't need, don't have time for, and what is most important! Efficiency. Def one of my favs is Jess. She is SO GOOD at knowing what I'm thinking and how to get me outta there ASAP! #4 Their automated messaging system to remind you of all the things you can't remember! Reminders to make an appointment, reminders to pickup your new glasses, notices that your contacts have shipped, text messages for more updates... It doesn't get any better than that. #3 Appointments are such a breeze. You are rarely kept waiting and promptly sent to start your eye tests. (By one of my FAVS, Lucas)! Shortly after, the Doctor is in and before you know it, you have your new prescription and you're ready to GO! #2 Their phenomenal and stylish array of designer frames is ENVIOUS! Outright stunning. One is left deciding amongst several cute, hip, sleep, sexy, and just amazingly fashionable glasses. I often leave my annual exam with two new frames. One of them is most likely Prada. #1 And hands-down the NUMBER ONE reason we love Crest Optometry, is of course, DR. PHAM. You will never come across an optometrist who is as passionate, enthusiastic, caring, and who will love and care for your eyeballs as well as she does. I have learned so much about my eyes, how they are changing with age, how to properly care for them, educating me with knowledgeable facts and wisdom, offering personal advice, and my eyes are so very happy. I am currently in the most comfortable contact lenses I have ever had, I have amazing glasses where I can see EVERYTHING, near and far, and special glasses to wear for night driving. Our whole family loves Crest Optometry. Even my teen daughter who is constantly damaging her frames, or losing her contacts, or needs help with picking out super trendy frames, she loves going to Crest. Hubby finally has contacts that fit his eyeballs, and frames that don't fall off his face. And my two littles are preemptively checked as well! If you are looking for a wonderful eye doctor for your family, go to Crest! Everyone there will make you feel welcome and cared for.

This is #2024 Same kinda frames.

Every visit it is the same: check in, sit down, and get told "just a few more minutes." It is never just a few minutes, and no one can ever give an accurate wait time. Meanwhile, they have no problem charging patients a late fee if you are behind. The front desk also seems completely unsure about insurance and pricing. Simple questions turn into hesitation, checking with multiple people, and inconsistent answers. It does not inspire much confidence when they do not even seem to know what things cost. Last year they ordered contacts for me and told me to come back in a week. When I called to check, they had completely forgotten to order them. No apology, just more waiting. After two years, this is clearly just how they operate. Always late, poor communication, and disorganized. If you value your time or expect basic competence, this probably is not the place.
