I kind of wish I could gate keep this business, but it's a disadvantage to the people who want a good eye doctor. I've been to Walmarts optometrist, Costco's eye exams, and a couple of other optometrists around the Bay Area (Oakland was my last place) they pretty much offered the same type of general service "you don't ask, you don't tell". When I went to Dr. Leung, she had a a two woman team that runs the entire show. They both take you through tests to ensure they are not missing anything. They pointed out that my current glasses did not have the correct prescription for my eyes and the material was not what I thought it was, ( I did wonder about this bc the lens started peeling) I was basically paying for plastic. Dr. Leung is not like Kaiser, where you are pushed out because someone else is waiting. She throughly evaluates you and is very passionate about what she does. I have a slightly rare condition with my eyes, my old optometrist kept getting confused as to why my vision was not returning to normal after my pregnancy was done. When I went to Dr. Leung on my first visit, she called out my condition and was able to help me get the correct prescription. These glasses have been the best pair I have ever received. If you can understand my relief as no doctor has ever brought this up. She had the instinct to say "you look normal, but there's something else behind your situation" and I immediately was impressed. Flash forward the following year, she still has the same spunky personality and all of the special equipment to do everything herself. I asked her why does she have all of this new technology and she explained how she wants to deliver good service and if she can do things without waiting weeks for labs, why not provide that to her clients. It's nice to actually get exceptional service.

Flores Optometry

I've been a patient of Dr. Flores for many, many years (maybe more that 10 years?) on and off as my…read moreinsurance has changed between jobs. 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 had great reviews and are close to home. I just picked up my first pair of perfect glasses from them! They have equipment my last optometrist did not have. Dr. Flores gave me a very thorough exam and worked with me to dial in my very difficult and different prescription. That was last year. This year, the same great customer service and exam doctor. I actually was able to "walk in" and be seen right after 9 this morning. I highly recommend this office for your eye care needs. Oh, they've got a nice selection of brand names...good stuff!

The office is in the corner but unfortunately parking can sometimes be very difficult to find. If there is parking, it's metered at about $1.50 per hour. The office itself is pretty small with four chairs for waiting and I think two or three cubicle-like exam rooms. The desk staff are usually pretty nice and accommodating, although I will say I've previously interacted with someone there who seemed really impatient with me which I didn't appreciate (not sure if they still work there now). The optometrists themselves are very professional and understanding, I've worked with two of them before and both were kind and explained everything to me that I needed to know! También ellos tienen traductoras por hispanohablantes. Since the office is small, the selection of glasses was small, too. I've gone before and they had almost no glasses on display, but today they had a bigger selection, just not as much as other places I've seen. They have a variety of brands like Gucci, Versace, Mont Blanc, Prada, etc.. I think the staff can help you select frames that are not on display either since they can access the website of frames. Overall this place has good service for optometry but may be inconvenient to access and can feel cramped at times. The selection of frames on display is OK at best but if you are really picky about your frames, you may want to look elsewhere.

Unfortunately, I did leave today's visit with a gut feeling that the doctor unfortunately manipulates how she's going to bill their services to benefit them, not us the customers. My husband and I each have a great VSP plans through our employer and for two exams it should have been covered especially with double coverage, however I left paying $120 out-of-pocket on what should have been zero. I left very disappointed. I am in the HR field and I have an understanding of how Primary and secondary insurances work, but there really was no arguing with the doctor. Definitely disappointed, and because of this experience, we will no longer be going to see her.

Great and trusted Doctor please check her services out good for the whole family

My husband, my children, and I all go here, and we've always had wonderful experiences. They recently moved to a new location. While the outside of the building isn't the greatest, don't let that fool you. Once you step inside, it's the same welcoming, professional office it's always been. All of the doctors are fantastic. My son just had an appointment this week with Dr. Geronimo, and she was amazing with him. She was patient, kind, explained what she was doing, and immediately put my son at ease. It was especially exciting because he was getting his very first pair of glasses! They have a huge selection of frames, so he had a great time picking out the perfect pair. The front desk staff is always friendly and welcoming, the eye exams are thorough, and we've never felt rushed. There's also plenty of parking, which is always a plus. The only minor downside is that the elevators in the building are a bit old, but that's such a small detail compared to the outstanding care you receive. If you're looking for an optometrist who truly cares about their patients, I highly recommend Family Focus Optometry. They've taken excellent care of my family for years, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

This is against CA law and bad practice to impose a cancellation policy based solely on a sign in their office, especially for patients that are scheduled on the phone and confirm on the phone.
