Dr Lin is the best... All these reviews are correct. He is very professional very welcoming and warm, he use to be a vision consultant/examiner for schools and for that reason I liked him even more. My visit today was because my sons school said he needed an extra consultation. So, like everyone, I used yelp to help guide me in picking the correct optometrist based on good reviews and in my nearby area. My son was scared but Dr. Lin and his staff are friendly and fast. This yelper is happy... Oh and they take walk-ins, not a lot of places do this now-a-days. I highly recommend this Dr and his practice, I personally will be going there for my eye examine. ... Plus since we are close to Halloween he was giving out candy... Trick or treat.... read more

Always had a good experience when seeing Dr Lin and his staff.

As soon as you walk in there welcoming. The girls are very helpful and very nice.. Berna helped me get into a new pair of glasses that I being needing for a while. Loved that they cut your glasses right there. Waiting time is low. Thank you I will definitely will recommend and will come back read more

Great customer service! Dr Lin was great. I've been using glasses since I was 4 and rarely get the right prescription, there's always something off. Dr Lin got it right! I am seeing the world anew. Thanks dr Lin! read more

So I called in yesterday wanting to make an appointment since my eyes have been hurting lately and the receptionist was so rude to me. I have been coming here for a few years now and I don't think I will be coming back. I kept telling her I need to make an appointment and she kept saying she will charge me $100 to see Dr. Lin. He never charged me in the past to see him if something was bothering me. Because of her, my husband and I will take our business elsewhere. I don't need to put up with her rudeness. I can get my glasses and contacts somewhere else. I guess Dr. Lin doesn't need my business. My husband and I always spend a lot of money here. read more

Came on a saturday morning near opening as a walk in, and didn't have to wait. Staff was very friendly and the process was painless (figuratively). Dr Lin is very personable and approachable, and the office is staffed with some cute girls, haha. 5/5 would recommend. read more

Dr. Lin rocks. He's really knowledgeable and is big on educating his patients, which I love. He also happens to be one of the nicest people ever. I don't even mind schlepping from the Westside just to see him. read more

Very happy with Dr. Lin. Even though he's located in Monterey Park/East LA, it's a nice office. Dr. Lin took my appointment over the phone and walked me through all my insurance questions himself. He was fine with me purchasing my contacts online instead of through his office (so I could save money). The staff are friendly and nice, they even serve you bottled water while you wait. Dr. Lin's examination was quick yet thorough. I also respected his conservative take on lasik eye surgery. I feel like I can trust his expert opinion on all things eye-related. read more

Made an appointment for a Saturday and although the office was busy, they were able to assist me immediately. Very efficient and friendly staff, and Dr. Lin was equally helpful. He answered all my questions regarding contacts and prescription glasses and was not only thorough but also broke it down in simple terms. They also did not push me to purchase any of their frames or products. Hope their follow-up reminders are equally as good. Definitely recommend Dr. Lin. read more

I came here about six months ago and I'm finishing up incomplete Yelp reviews that I started. Dr Dennis Lin and staff is well organized. The only con is that the office seems to be busy, but my exam was started within reasonable time of my scheduled appointment. Although he is busy, he does take the time to give proper exam. I plan to come again for next appointment. read more

Dr Lin Rocks! Exam went well and he was very informative Will go bs k for more services read more

Just went to Dr Dennis Lin's Optometry for my annual exam and to get my eyes double checked to see if my prescription has changed and there has been a little change in my prescription where my eyes need to see little letters even if it's far away.Out of all the optometrists I've seen as a patient Dr Dennis Lin is the one I'd recommend out of all the optometrists because he's very through when seeing your eyes and he and his friendly staff are easy to talk to. And the best part of all is that there are plenty of more options and styles to choose from.He by far exceeded my expectations as an optometrist.He makes sure that you're okay and that your prescription is okay.Overall he's my favorite optometrist I've gone to and someone who I would recommend if you need glasses and you need more options and styles then go to Dennis Lin's Optometry.As a Monterey Park citizen this is the only place I trust and have faith inAlso just like last year it's an amazing experience! read more

Amazing service!!! The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Great frame selection and the Dr. Was very knowledgeable and incredibly thorough. I used to be a long time customer of Lens Crafters but after my experience at Dr. Lin's office I will never go else where. The service and quality dedicated to the patients is truly unsurpassed by other opticals. I recommend Dr. Lin's office to all my friends! read more

Dr Lin is very nice and thorough, He used to have an older chinesse lady who did the pre exam she was very nice and funny, the second time I went I was sad not to see her :(, This time they had my glasses ready within 2 days. When the receptionist called me to tell me I could pick up my glasses I had to ask her twice if she was sure. I went to pick them up very nervous thinking they had made a mistake and they didn't! everything was perfect! read more

Dr. Lin is one of the best doctors I have seen. He is very patient and friendly. Ok, here is my story, after I got my prescription, I went to a glasses shop immediately for my new glasses. I then got my new glasses about 3 days later, and I felt extremely uncomfortable with this new glasses, I was dizzy, had headache, and I could not wear the pair more than 15 minutes!! So I called Dr. Lin and explained the problem, Dr. Lin immediately scheduled me an appointment for the next day. After reexamining my prescription and the glasses, we found out that there was no problem with the prescription; the problem was the glasses. Dr. Lin told me that I am very sensitive to glasses, so the glasses have to have the correct pupil distance and optical center, and the one I had did not have them measured correctly, and the frame was not level as well. Dr. Lin did not hesitate to write me a new prescription and indicated the detail information about my sensitivity to glasses. I then took the new prescription and glasses back to the store for a replacement. I just got my new glasses and everything seems better, but just to make sure this one is correctly made I will go see Dr. Lin tomorrow to double check it. In conclusion, I am a very picky person especially when it comes to my health, and I am so glad Dr. Lin is here always being very patient, and friendly. Dr. Lin really cares about my eyes. Thank you Dr. Lin! read more

I just want a few things from my optometrist. 1. Friendly, knowledgeable, skillful 2. No high-pressure sales tactics 3. Honest advice when sought Dr. Lin and staff meet all of those expectations and beyond. There are many locations much closer to where I live, but I'd rather drive the longer distance for my exams. read more

I am very happy I found an amazing Optometrist that is local. I found him on Yelp. Dr. Lin and his staff are very nice people. I love customer service and Dr. Lin and his staff were on point. I took my ten year old son for eye allergies. The Dr. too his time with my soon and explained to my son and I what was going on his eyes. He is patient and gentle with children. I liked this optometrist so much that I recommend my mother to go to him as well. read more

The only thing I didn't like about this place is that the selection of name brand frames was limited and they were all behind the counter so you had to ask to see each one you wanted to try on. I am accustom to them being on display so I can try them ALL on if I want... This was also mentioned in another review but I didn't think much of it at the time. However, if I am going to have to use the frames for 2 yrs & pay upwards of $400 I'd like there to be a bigger selection. read more

First time getting contacts and i could say i love it , Dr. Lin explain everything with detail how im seeing with & without contacts. Staff is really freandly they thought me how to clean and put on my contacts . Best office ever !! i would definetly recommend this office to everyone i know .. Btw Dr. Lin is the best eye doctor ever !! (: read more

Veronica and Dr. Lin helped me to a new pair of stylish tortoiseshell reading glasses and a clean bill of health for my eyes. Reading is so much easier on my eyes now. On a side note, if I get halloween contact lenses this year I would like to have them fitted by Dr. Lin. I will return here when I'm due for my next eye exam or in the market for a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses. read more

Had my appt. this past Sat. and I could not be happier. Dr. Lin's staff is professional and very helpful. No problem trying on as many frames as you'd like. Dr. Lin, his stool side manner cannot be beat. He'll answer all your questions and put your mind at ease. Office and equipment is very clean and orderly. Prices seemed fair. If you're in need of a good Optometrist then go to Dr. Lin, you will not be disappointed. I will be going to Dr. Lin from now on for all my eye care needs. read more

I just paid a visit this past weekend. I've been a patient here since 2010 and I think in terms of doctors (Dr. Lin is really good), location (it is in a strip mall with ample parking, which is rare in Monterey Park), and staff, Dr. Lin is the best Doctor I've had. Prior to seeing Dr. Lin I went to a Dr.'s office in my neighborhood that is very very popular, and I switched because I had to wait 3 weeks to get my eye exam and I only started looking out of desperation, and I've been very pleased ever since. I am very glad that I switched and I would come back here as long as Dr. Lin's in business. :-) read more

This is the worst place ever. I felt really uncomfortable with the employees. Berna was the worst gave me attitude and was ignoring me when I asked questions. Terrible place don't come here. read more

Dennis has been taking care of my eyes for many years. He's the only Optometrist that I trust. He is Professional. He explains any question that I have in a way that is easily understandable. And he, most importantly, is friendly. Go the P read more

Dr. Lin is very courteous and professional. I would recommend for anyone in the area. Clean office. Nice staff.

Recently I went here to get an eye exam. The optometrist was so chill. Dr. Lin's exam was really thorough. He made me feel so comfortable and welcome. He made me feel at ease. Great service, great value and great selection. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Dennis Lin's Optometry is one of the best offices I've been to thus far. I was pleased with the friendly/helpful staff, and the extremely short wait-time ( as compared to Linden Optometry where I had to wait over an hour just to see different doctors every time). My paper-work was pre-filled to save time, and the prices are decent especially because I don't have any vision insurance. With my complicated glasses/contact lens prescription, Dr. Lin took the time to assure it was correct and the perfect fit for me. He even ordered a couple different contact lens brands to let me try them out to see which I preferred! :) In addition to being helpful and caring, he also tries to educate me about the anatomy & physiology of my eyes. Overall, it is a wonderful office and I have finally found MY optometrist in the San Gabriel Valley! read more

This review is for date of visit June 23, 2012: (reason for repost: where is my original review?) "the receptionists at this office were HORRIBLE!.. there was a huge LANGUAGE-BARRIER with the old asian lady receptionist, and the younger receptionist who spoke influence english was flat out RUDE. i have EyeMed Insurance which covers exam for both glasses and contacts, and an allowance for either frame and lens; or frame and contact. i have confirmed with my insurance prior to coming here. however, they told me that i could get only an exam for either glasses or contacts, and that if i wanted both i would have to pay out of pocket for the contact exam (WHICH IS SUCH A SCAMMING METHOD). i walked out of the office without seeing the optometrist because this seems like a SHADY OPERATION to me. i called my insurance when i got home to inform them of this optometrist in their network and warn them of the situation. they helped me look for another optometrist so i will make an appointment after this post. i hope my review helps those who are considering seeing Dennis Lin Optometry." read more

Been going to Dr. Lin for the past 4 years and one of the Best Optometrist out there! Great Customer Service and has a great selection of Frames (Glasses). His Staff are very professional and courteous. Overall, a great experience! read more

It's no surprise that Dr. Lin received so many positive reviews. He truly is the best optometrist I've ever had. I have horrible eyesight, and feel anxiety every time I see an optometrist, but Dr. Lin makes the experience pleasant and really takes the time to explain things to you. I spent an hour and a half at my first appointment. He is thorough, patient, answers all your questions, and you never feel rushed when meeting with him. His staff is very friendly and so nice. His office is clean and pleasant to be in. He recommended a new brand of contacts for me and it was such a great move on both our parts. I am so glad my fiance found him and introduced him to me. I don't think I will ever need to look for another optometrist again. Thanks Dr. Lin!! read more

When my son's glasses's frame broke, we decided to come here to buy a new frame. When we asked them how much the frame was, they said 150$ other places sell them for like $9. We didn't even need to buy the lens. I wouldn't recommend coming here for glasses. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Lin's for the past 5 years. I love his European, American, and Japanese frame collection, which I have a few with the help of an extremely helping and courteous staff. They are great at picking and choosing the best frame for your face. Aside from his eclectic frame collection, Dr. Lin is a very thorough and thoughtful eye doctor. Upon my last visit, he noticed my recent problem with dry eyes. He added a pair of eye plugs, which has helped me tremendously. I no longer have to rest my eyes by closing them for periods of time throughout my workday. And even though the waiting period was only 10 minutes, he came out to make sure that I was comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Lin to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable, professional and caring eye doctor or for someone who is simply looking for the next pair of eyeglasses or shades. I have recommended my entire family and friends to Dr. Lin. read more

I took my 5 year old autistic son here they were very nice and patient with him he had a melt down when they had to dilate his eyes but they never became frustrated with him and were very nice and explained to him what they were gonna do before they did it so he would not be scared their staff is very friendly read more

Very thorough service at a very affordable price! The optometrist is also very knowledgeable and goes to extra lengths to explain everything and check that your eyes are healthy. Highly recommended! These guys deserve everyone's business. read more

I walked into this place not knowing what to expect since it was my first time at this office. I'm very particular when it comes to cleanliness and this place met my standards to clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Dr. Lin was very thorough, attentive, and knowledgeable. To be honest, Dr. Lin's exam was the best exam I've ever had in my life. I felt very confident in his abilities and he really knows what he is doing. He treats all of his patients like they are family and I am very comfortable referring my own family and friends here. There a lot of Optometrists out there and I am very fortunate to have found a great one. It's like finding a needle in a haystack! To me....SERVICE(not price) is the most important thing to me when it comes to me & my eyes! read more

Dr. Lin is great! I have been to many places and they can never get my vision correctly, but somehow, just a few mins with Dr. Lin, I am able to see much better. I would hope this review would be helpful for those looking for a personal optomitrist. Dr. Lin is the right person to see... read more

Great customer service and very friendly. Dr. Lin took the time to explain everything in detail. He is also very good at enunciating. You'll know what I mean if you talk to him. read more

finally found a really good optometrist that really cares! i have been to a lot of other O.D.'s and Dr. Lin really takes the time to help you and explain what he's doing. Love the service! read more

The vision in my right eye went downhill pretty quickly and I had been looking for a new Optometrist, so my brother recommended Dr. Lin after reading the reviews on Yelp. Dr. Lin and his office have been great and he makes sure I receive the best care. My right eye is pretty messed up and I don't have insurance but he made sure that i received the proper meds in sample form...even if it means taking A LOT of samples. He's very knowledgeable and does a lot of work around the community, especially the Alhambra School District. read more

I am truly thrilled to write a glowing review for Dr. Dennis Lin and his office! His staff was very friendly when I arrived for my weekend appointment (a plus for those who have busy weekday schedules), and I feel I received an outstanding value for my comprehensive eye exam and consultation as a new patient. Dr. Lin was very caring, considerate, and thorough in gathering information and proceeding with a variety of eye and vision tests. In addition to obtaining a complete medical history, he inquired about my diet and lifestyle, examined my eyes for possible hereditary issues, and also noted possible future concerns we will pay close attention to, in my annual exams. He is very proactive in his approach to ocular health, and I appreciate that! Dr. Lin has a good-natured "chair-side manner"- he took the time to explain each part of the eye exam, which made me more comfortable during the procedures, and he enthusiastically answered my many questions, which gave me greater peace of mind. I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Lin and his professionalism, and I will happily return to his office for my next scheduled exam! read more
