Dr. Melinda although she's not a pediatric optometrist was willing to examine my daughter's eyes and thankfully so because we found an issue and now we have a plan on how to correct it. She was patient. She was kind and understanding. I cannot say enough great things about this Office and about her. Absolutely amazing experience and I'm really glad we found her. bring your kids to her, my daughter is 4 and was able to have a thorough exam. read more

Always great service no matter what Dr we see! Everyone is helpful and very professional! I have been bringing my kids here for years ! They have a great selection in eye glasses. We look forward to our yearly visit read more

Dr. Urriquia is great! He has a kind and professional manner, and truly takes his time with care. During my exam, he even paused to ask about my life since it had been too long since my last visit, which I really appreciated. He's personable and explains each step of the process clearly, so you always know what to expect. I was also impressed with how easy it was to get an appointment--I called early in the afternoon and was seen just a few hours later. The whole visit was quick and efficient; I was in and out within 20 minutes. I highly recommend Dr. Urriquia and his office for your eye care needs. read more

I love this place. Melinda was so kind and made me feel really comfortable during my appointment. I felt like she genuinely cared. I love it here. read more

The doctor and front staff were very friendly and informative and educated about my eyes, but I felt the office lacked cleanliness. I never once saw any equipment sanitized with multiple patients in the office. read more

I've been coming here for 17+ years. Back when it was Dr. Wu senior, and since Ginna left it's so different and difficult. I really love Dr. Wu Jr but I won't be back. This place has a whole different vibe now . The office girls are very unclear and uncertain about things. They say one thing and then try to say something else, a simple I'm not sure let me find out works way better then lies. It's very clear they do not know how insurance works. They are very short and cut you off when you try to explain something I'm all about giving people chances and I've been loyal for years that's why I still went but sadly this place is horrible!! So bad that after all these years I'm yelping lol I'll be taking my business to La Verne read more

I took my daughter to get contact lenses. The eye doctor quoted me a price on my first visit. They ask we come back a week later. When we returned, the front office ask we pay a $115 fitting fee, there was no fitting done. They said put them on and come back in a week. The amount I was told it would cost was a lot less than what they were trying to collect from my daughter. They were not honest when we talked to the doctor and front office staff. My family and I will not be coming back. I can get the same service cheaper somewhere else. read more

The Opt here is so warm and grow Fly and helpful explains everything and genuinely cares read more

Today was my first time here and I gotta say it was an absolute pleasant experience. Dr. Wu was very kind and informative. Would highly recommend. read more

The level of customer service has gone down. I simply don't like any of the frames that they offer here, and in the past this wouldn't be a problem because I could request a pair that I do like and they would order them for me. However, I called today to place an order for a pair of frames I wanted and they said they weren't taking any new request because "they ordered too many of the existing frames from their vendors". This sounds like a company problem, not mine. I don't see how I shouldn't be able to place an order for new frames due to poor purchasing planning on the office's end. I drive 40 miles to come to this location because I have been coming here for years, but now feel like it's time for me to move on. read more

I came here for the first time a few weeks back. It was a great experience. Everyone is very nice and helpful. They have a wide selection of frames. read more

Needed new eyes, so I came here to do my annual eye exam. I called and the receptionist was super nice and friendly. I got an appointment for the same day. Dr. U did my exam and he was very nice and informative. He showed me what the back of my eyes looked like and what everything meant. Previous doctors never showed me this before, so it was pretty interesting to see what it looks like back there. The office was also very clean, so I felt COVID safe. Will definitely come back and refer friends/family. read more

Update: they remodeled the office and it looks awesome!! I've been getting my eyes checked here regularly for several years now and the front desk staff continues to be friendly, and Dr. Wu is still very knowledgeable and personable. He literally "fixed" my vision... I was apparently getting overcorrected at Costco (didn't even know that was possible), and when Dr. Wu fit me in the correct prescription (lower too), I actually see more clearly. He definitely knows what he's doing. But yeah their recent office renovation makes the place look great. I'm a happy customer here. read more

Covina Eyecare Optometry - They remodeled their office finally! - Optometrists Near Me - Covina, California

See all

Always a lovely experience. The optometrist shows so much compassion towards his patients and really gives you suggestions for your eye care. And he's not trying to push product and have you spend money if you don't have to. Totally recommend this place for anyone looking for an optometry. read more

I bought a pair of expensive Armani frame and had put bifocal lenses in, shatter proof, darkening in sunlight, the work. The Cadillac package. However, there was only one problem; I could only see cowardly out of a tiny point up by the top of the frame. I returned them and asked them to fix that and I was told that this is the way they are because if the square frames and bifocal lenses. My old frame however is even smaller and I can see in the distance perfectly out of the whole top half of the lens. I was told that's the way it is. So I threw them away because I couldn't use them. That was about $500 down the drain. I'm not going to return there nor would I recommend this place. read more

I'm so disappointed and upset. I've had to have my glasses adjusted 4 times since my visit in March and I still can't see. I paid over $350 for them. Everything I'm there they made me feel like it's me and they are paying out of there pocket to adjust them and the prescription is correct. I've run out of options of how uncomfortable they make me feel. I guess I wasted $350 read more

My wife bought me a sweet pair of Gucci sunglasses for my birthday. I always have prescription lenses put in and I really disliked the last optometrist I went to so once again I turned to Yelp for some help. I found Covina Eyecare and gave them a call due to their rave reviews. The receptionist was nice and I told her I was in kind of a hurry to get my sunglasses finished, so the sooner I could get in the better. She found an opening within two days (almost unheard of at most optometrists shops these days) so I jumped on it. My appointment was with Dr. Edwin Wu and he couldn't have been any nicer. Super kind, mellow person that makes you feel at ease instantly. The office also took all necessary precautions due to Covid going around, and I was appreciate of that because I've got a few Karens in my family and I've seen enough of that, lol. I brought it two pairs of sunglasses with me; one that I had done years and years ago that I really liked, and my most recent pair that the Optometrist I didn't like had done. I told Dr. Wu which one I liked better and, after my exam, he said he was surprised at the prescription of my most recent glasses because it wasn't close to what I needed. I finished my appointment, left my new sunglasses and waited for them to call me letting me know my glasses were in. In less than a week, the office called and said my glasses were ready. I picked them up and wow, what a difference to my most recent pair! These were great! What I didn't like about my last pair of prescription sunglasses was that they worked ok for seeing far away, but for things that were up close or even "semi" up close, they were horrible. I could use them to drive and stuff, but when I went golfing, I couldn't focus on the ball so I'd have to take them off. Basically, I would wear my old glasses every day of the week "except" on the days I went golfing. So in essence I needed two separate pairs of sunglasses. However the prescription from Dr. Wu is now PERFECT! I can wear my new sunglasses ALL the time! My wife was so impressed with how I felt about them that she said she's going to switch too. So the next time she needs a prescription for her contacts, she'll be heading over to see Dr. Wu. You should too. read more

I called in to see if the doctor could see my daughter ASAP due to an emergency...she lost vision in one eye...and he made room in the schedule and saw her within the hour. Dr. Urriquia is very professional and thorough in his practice. He ran every test on my daughter, kept her comforted, reassured her several times and was caring and compassionate. The time and patience he had with my teenager was commendable and much appreciated. We made a follow up appointment and she got new glasses and I even switched over to this optometrist and got my own prescription filled here too. I see a beautiful relationship with this practice and our family. The staff is very friendly and welcoming as well. read more

Excellent office, front desk staff and doctor. Dr. Wu is thorough and personable. He took his time and explained everything to me. Made recommendations based on what I do in my life (took the time to ask). Front office staff even helped my choose my glasses. Since I just went today, I do not have my glasses yet but I am sure that they will be fine. Recommending my family and friends. read more

Went here for the first time today. I've had the same eye doctor for over 20 years and recently moved out this way so I had to find someone new. I'm so happy with my choice to come here. The front desk staff were super friendly and helpful and Dr. Urriquia was so friendly and explained everything so well. I'm very happy to be a new patient here! Lobby and offices are clean, staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I can't really ask for more then that! read more

I always have the best service and care here. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I always feel comfortable in their care. The doctor is nice and always answers any questions you may have. They make it easy to get an appointment and help you get your glasses in a timely manner. I wouldn't go anywhere else read more

This is simply the best place around to go to for your eyecare needs. The staff here is amazing, especially Dr. Urriquia. Sometimes, it's difficult or intmidating to try and develop a good rapport with medical professionals, as they see many patients all the time and most times than not, you're just a name on a list to them. But that is not the case with Dr. Urriquia. He is truly awesome and there is no one I trust more! He is kind, friendly, super attentive and knowledgeable, and he really genuinely cares about your eye health and overall well-being. He took the time to go over with me how my daily habits impact my vision issues, and provided me with helpful tips to properly rest my eyes and alleviate some of the stress that I was experiencing with regards to my vision. l am very grateful to him for providing this extra information and always looking out for my best interests. I would highly recommend requesting for Dr. Urriquia, the best in the business! read more

Been needing an eye exam for months and a friend recommended Covina Eye Care. Great place, knowledgeable staff and Dr Wu was awesome. Taking care of myself and my husband. He spotted something that my husband might need a specialist to to take care of. Would highly recommended. read more

Dr. Wu and his son are both great! Dr. Wu found problems with my daughter's eyes that her previous Optometrist didn't find. The front desk girls are always pretty friendly, and they try to help keep us within our budget with our insurance. read more

I like the doctors here. All the great review here is spot on regarding the doctors. However, I want to point out that the last time I came here, I was not greeted by a lady that was sitting at the front desk. Not an eye contact and no acknowledgement that I was standing there until somebody else came in from behind her to greet me. It was a good moment of silence. Even if it's not her job, would it hurt you just to look up and smile? You can always say that somebody will be with me shortly. I hate patronizing places that do not have employees who value customers. Without us, you have no jobs. Besides, it's common courtesy. Please stress that to your employees! I really don't want to have to go to Costco for my eye care because I believe in supporting small and local businesses. read more

Great place, referred my mother here. Her glasses have been a problem for over a year. Went and spent over $200 at previous Dr. Was told she needed to get use to new glasses. Headaches and blurred vision, I asked her to try my Dr. She is soooo happy with the staff and new glasses! Thank you for helping our family see better. read more

Dr. Urriquia, or Dr. Ken was simply amazing. He took the time to read my record which, I haven't been here in about 4 years, and was really down to earth. He made going to the optometrist comfortable and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this place read more

I don't have any experience with optometrists to compare this to, but I loved it! The people at the desk are friendly and warm. The waiting room is simple, but has a table for kids to color at. Dr. Wu (the son) is awesome! I haven't been to an eye doctor in years! He's very easy to talk to and made it a comfortable exam. Maria is great too! She helped me go through all the frames and pick out a pair that looked cute. (I took my boyfriend with me for this reason, but he was no help. Lol!) Besides finding out that I have astigmatism, it was a wonderful appointment! read more

I had a great experience with Covina Eyecare Optometry. Dr. Urriquia was super friendly and able to answer all my questions during the exam.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Urriquia and Covina Eyecare Optometry. read more
