The look of this place is very fashionable, the staff is very friendly and fashionable, who better to help you choose a new pair of eyeglasses that suits your face that you'll be wearing for years? Their eyewear guru Teresa helped me choose a frame in less than 5 min. I am grateful for her help because if she didn't help me out, then I don't think I would've chosen the frames I chose! The first day I wore them I got tons of compliments! I got transition lenses and so they look the cutest out in the sun!!! I am in love with these frames!!! However, I will say a lot of their stylish frames are expensive, but if you're going to be wearing these frames for years then they're totally worth it! Thank you Eye Love! :) read more

Lovely place. Staff is very kind and fashionable and the whole atmosphere is very professional and clean. Good frame selection also. read more

I am writing about my very recent and limited experience - the first time when I got my eyes examined and the follow up interactions and service that I received. I am proud to say that I had an overall excellent experience from the time I first called for my intake and appointment to the final step when I received my glasses. All of the staff members are friendly, professional, accommodating, and personable along with the fact that they are compliant with COVID-19 health and safety codes. The exam was done with efficiency and care. What I appreciate the most about the exam was that every part of the procedure was communicated very thoroughly and informatively. In the end, I got what I asked for and paid for. I am so happy with the two pair of glasses that I received because time and care was taken to make sure that I got what I asked for. Throughout the whole process and after- during the waiting period of receiving my glasses, I was relieved to know that any changes or follow up was communicated to me via text and the turnover of my inquiries was responded to right away. A great family feel to the office culture and staff! Thank you Eye Love Optometry! read more

Apart from giving me the best service that was personalized for my needs and thorough, they have the best selection of glasses. I love having options and different price ranges. They also have the newest equipment so i can see my eyes health and be aware of any changes since my last visit. Starting with the receptionist who is attentive and makes sure Im ready before my appointment starts. Then meeting with Dr. Hsieh and checking if theres any concerns or changes with my prescription. And lastly choosing my glasses with confidence with Aidan and Allison, who are fashion forward but they also put into account what my daily life is like to fit me with the best frames to feel great. I get so many compliments on my new frames and i really couldnt ask for a better office! Thank you soooo much for the pleasant experience! It was so painless and fun! Cant wait to go back in to get some sunglasses too! read more

What a great Optometry spot. The staff is incredibly friendly and the choice of eyewear is top-notch. Dr. Park has state of the art tech and research-backed recommendations for my family's vision needs. Highly recommended place. read more

I love this optometry! I always come in last minute, which is completely unplanned, and they ALWAYS come on top. Aidan explains everything thoroughly and is extremely helpful. We had to fly out within a week and needed two glasses ready, he put it in a rush order, which we weren't really sure we will get it but tried nonetheless. Fortunately enough we received both pairs a day before our flight! I recommend this optometry not only for their service but also their eyeglass/sunglass collection which is amazing! read more

Updated review. This place is kind of expensive when trying to get contacts and glasses. I was use to getting contacts one year and contacts the next year but here you have to get both. Every year you have to get a contact fitting for $75 with glasses. So you end up spending like $110 with the cheapest glasses. Contacts are not included with the fitting. The staff tried to sell me 1-year or 6-month supply of contacts but did't tell that me can buy one buy at a time(which I wanted to do). If you get the 1-year your looking to come out of pocket: total of $310. That means every year I have to buy $310 if I want contacts. Your prescription only last year so if you want contacts every year, you have to pay $75 each time. Overall I had a great experience here. I found this optometry because of the location being right of the freeway on my way home from work. I feel like this place took my eye care to the next level. The lobby area is really nice and new. The assistant did number of test on my eye that were never done. The doctor was really nice and informative. He helped me to understand what he was doing to my eyes. It was really cool that now your able to take pictures of your eyes. Also love the selection of glasses and it was great to have someone help me with picking a perfect glasses. I like instead me looking around the assistant choose glasses that's would fit my face so I didn't spend hours looking for glasses. I hope I have the same great experience when I go back to get my contact lens. read more

Eye Love Optometry transformed 'having' to get glasses into 'getting' to get glasses! I had an excellent experience. Dr. Park tested me carefully and Aidan expertly fit and styled my frames and lenses. I felt I could trust everyone there. The glasses I got excite me, clarifying the world I see, and bring personalized style to how I'm seen. read more

I will not give any star to this place. I wish we had that option. I am not sure who this 80 years old gentleman is but my very old aunt had the worse experience with this place. We had an appointment and Their sitting area was crowded. My aunt wanted to sit in one of the chair in the fitting area. A girl name Alison ask my aunt to leave the chair because it was reserved for one her appointments. And guess what ! My aunt was her appointment. She did not even welcome us to ther store and she thought I was her appointment. She only laughed when she found out it was my aunt waiting for her not me.Bad bad manners! My aunt still went on to pick a frame but every frame she picked was rejected by Alison with negative comnent. But the selection she had for my aunt was ugly and not a good fit for my aunt's age. I told her that she is rude and pushes and we walked out. I also want to say that many customers were there to complain about their order they received. So many upset faces and the prices are sky high. Go to a place that have respect for elderly and all customers . If you are still going there, Take a sign that says " I am buying frame for me not for you Alison" This place should be reported. read more

i left my optometrist for doctor H! DR. Hsieh. is very knowledgeable and professional in optometry. Cute glasses and satisfying atmosphere! Friendly Staff! NOT A SCAM ARTIST! THANK GOODNESS!! i had a great experience here, my exam swift by real fast but during my exam Dr. H explain what was wrong with my eyes and how he is going to improve my vision. i had the special today. i had glasses with contacts that equals up to a total of $75. my insurance paid for my glasses so it was pretty cheap for me (:. overall, i would recommend my friends, family and you to try it out once here, i guarantee you would ditch your last optometrist haha read more

Thanks to eye love for always supplying my frame game, Providing only the top selection in frames. They even locked the store down providing us with a private shopping experience, Now that's top notch customer service! read more

El Sobrante Optometry is the top of the line place for eye wear, GREAT customer service and honesty when it comes to picking out the right frame that fits you. That is why I am a second year returning customer. If you're looking for an Optometrist who is thorough, patient, answers every single question you have, takes the extra steps in your eye exam, and it is VERY detailed then Dr. Hsieh is the person to see. Aidan is so, so AMAZING!!!!!! When I went in for my eye exam on Tuesday Aidan remembered the type of frame I wanted, so he already had about five frames that he knew would fit me and I would like. I felt very comfortable, not rushed when it came to trying on frames. It was also good to have the opinion and pure honesty of A and the staff. El Sobrante Optometry is very inviting, warm, and peaceful when looking for that right frame. read more

Best customer service. Every one is kind and knowledgeable. I moved to Pinole about a year ago and I thought I would have to go back to SF just to get new glasses. Well after finding Eyelove Optometry I didn't have to. Not only they have an extensive selection of frames the staff and the doctor are so nice and very knowledgeable. Special thanks to Allison she knows her stuff. Next time you're looking for a new place to get your eyes checked and in need of new frames call them to make an appointment. You will not be disappointed. I will be coming back. read more

My family and I have been going to Dr. Hsieh for a few years now, and I always look forward to our visits. Dr. Hsieh is extremely thorough, and he always takes the time to explain what he is doing, why he is doing it, and he even gives you a bigger picture scenario. He is friendly and knowledgeable and happily answers any and all questions. As for the staff, they are by far, the friendliest that I've ever come across! Jahmae is the first person to greet you when you walk in usually. She makes you feel welcome, and she is very knowledgeable and thorough when she checks your insurance. I also love their selection of frames, and Aidan and Allison are experts at picking out frames that fit your face perfectly. I highly recommend them! read more

Love this place. Everyone there is extremely nice and very professional with flare. They have an amazing selection of frames. And their service is beyond compare. I honestly couldn't say enough nice things. They will sit down with you find the perfect frames and will even talk things with you in exactly what you like. They don't pressure to get the higher end frames. The exams are quick and if you like chatting, they'll chat you up through the whole thing which makes it all the better. Just an A+ place to get your eyes checked. read more

Love this place ! They have amazing frames and everyone is so helpful. I know where I'm going for my yearly eye exam and it's here !

Came in to get some new frames and was so satisfied with the staff here! They're all kind and knowledgeable and even though I was a walk-in, the frames expert was available to help me almost immediately! He was also very skilled at picking out frames that looked great on me-something I have trouble with at other frame shops- instead of trying to sell me the most expensive or popular frames, he went about the store and collected plenty of different options-from a plentiful supply- for me to try on. I'm more satisfied with the frames I have now than any other pair I've had before! On top of all that, it was a really reasonable price. I'm very happy I chose to come here and will be returning to see the wonderful, experienced staff whenever I need new frames. read more

I visited Eye Love the last two times I needed glasses and their Staffing, office environment and expertise are all unparalleled. This last time I went in I was helped to find just the right frames by Aiden. I immediately felt at ease with him and trusted that he would lead me in the right direction. My husband also purchase sunglasses at the same time and we were able to get a discount doing that. I love my new eyewear and I get lots of compliments. Thank you Eye Love for doing such a great job in Pinole! read more

Wow! So impressed with service, environment, selection of glasses, everything! I recently had a Lasik and my insurance covers sunglasses for me. I tried different locations and had so much trouble explaining to them that I do have coverage with my insurance. Also, I couldn't find stylish sunglasses that I like in any East bay locations. Hopelessly before going to SF, I gave this location a shot as well. I walked in at 12.45pm and walked out with my awesome Gucci glasses at 1.05pm! Mae greeted me pleasantly and while I was looking at the glasses not that she pulled up my insurance benefit with no problem and extra question, she also resolved a block on my account! Like in 2 min!!!! After that, Aiden helped me to find my sunglasses. He listened carefully to what I want and walked me through about 10 different sunglasses and guess what! I picked the first one he recommended because it was perfect he was sweet knowledgeable and amazing. Highly highly recommend this place. read more

I stumbled across El Sobrante Optometry by pure chance and I'm happy that I did. My friend asked me to pick up his prescription sunglasses for him. As I entered, I couldn't help but notice the comfy interior design and the friendly smile of the receptionist. I decided to ask them if they had any free appointments and luckily they said I could see Dr. Hsieh later that afternoon. Dr. Hsieh knows what he's talking about and happily answered all of my questions. He also tends to use the very latest in technology and tries to educate you throughout the exam. The rest of the staff was also really nice and they help me pick out the perfect frames again and again. I always get compliments on my frames and I have Aiden to thank. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to see Dr. Hsieh for a while because I was away at school but now that I'm back in the Bay, I'll be sure to pay them a visit at El Sobrante Optometry soon. read more

Great experience from start to finish. Communication is fantastic. Staff is super friendly and very helpful. The doctor explains everything thoroughly during my exams. Wonderful selection of frames to choose from. I really can't say enough good things about them. They have a loyal patient in me and my family. read more

Unfortunately I'll need to find another optometrist . Even though ESO is conveniently located near to my house and Dr. Hsieh seems competent enough, there are just too many negatives to overlook. First of all their services are very expensive compared to other providers! Secondly, Dr. Hsieh and his staff are very aggressive with their upselling. Finally - ESO/Dr. Hsieh refused to verify my prescription to an online contact lens store even though the prescription was still valid! read more

This rating is for the super friendly staff as I did not have the pleasure of getting eye examination from Dr. Hsieh. I have been going to a different optometrist but was a bit turned off by the staff there, so I gave El Sobrante Optometry a try. I am very glad I went there! Despite the fact that I was there pretty close to their closing time, the guy who works there (I think his name was Aiden?) took the time to show me many many affordable and cute frames. He made sure that we stayed under my budget and was very very patient while I took a long time choosing a frame. I have always hated shopping for frames, but he made the experience much better. Also, AIden and Dr. Hsieh made sure that my prescription was accurate and I didn't even have the eye exam there. I am definitely taking my boyfriend here when it's time for his eye exam. read more

Cross referencing my insurance with Best of the Bay winners and Yelp favorites brought me to El Sobrante Optometry. I am THRILLED! Dr. Hsieh was patient and answered ALL my questions. He made sure I was completely happy with my contact lens fit and able to work with multifocal contacts. My time with Adrian, Frame Stylist Extraordinaire, was fantastic. Thank goodness for his "Selective Perfectionism"! Stocking up, I purchased two sets of frames - one his choice and one mine. Everyone loves Adrian's Choice. I am so glad I listened to him! Zayda & Virginia are always welcoming and friendly, making sure all the details are handled properly. The office is comfortable and I never had to wait long. The trip from the Napa area to El Sobrante Optometry is absolutely worth it! The office is right off the highway and easy to find. But it's their exceptional service and friendly manner that will bring me back every time! read more

I'm brand-new to the area, and I have to admit that I was visually seduced into the office from fairly frequent Chipotle runs. First thing I really liked about the office was that my insurance was pre-verified before I came in, and I just needed to sign off some liability forms/patient history. Very quick and easy--didn't need to waste time on presenting ID's or medical insurance cards, which was a big plus. Dr. Hsieh was interesting in that he, himself, brought me back to the pre-exam area and his office. I've worked in optometrics, and his equipment is very advanced and brand-new (some apparati I had never even seen before). His exam room was exceptionally clean, and his "manual" refractor was completely computerized and very fast--he had a perfect prescription ready in probably 3 minutes. Start-to-finish, my exam took about 10-15 minutes; and this was with Dr. Hsieh explaining every step of the exam. Being in healthcare, and a teacher, I think this is just so important that patients know exactly what is happening and why during their exams. No awkward silences, either (and I am the master of these). I was also happy that there was no judgement passed when I turned down a diagnostic test right at the end of my exam (and that Dr. Hsieh informed me of the billing up front). No pressure for this broke teacher. :) And finally Aidan, the optician was really excellent. He seems to really understand a face and can immediately read a person's personal style. Although I had a very specific style of frame in mind, he showed me a few frames that I probably would not have picked out, myself. If you're ever in a position where you're not sure what frame is best for you, I would recommend him. Overall, a really great experience; I'm so happy to know that there is such a great practice so close to my house (and I can get dinner on my way out, ha!). Looking forward to picking up my new specs in the next few days! read more

The optometrist is very knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. The front desk personnel is very respondent to patron's needs. I absolutely love the decor, and trendy frames. However, even with good insurance, the appointment will cost you around 500 plus out the Door. They do not have affordanle frames. read more

I had a horrible experience. I had an appointment and when I come there they could not find the appointment. They have a lot of work to do on their appointment system, it just does not work. If you do not want to do unnecessary trips stay away from them. read more

This is best optometrist and optician location in the Bay Area. Extremely professional with state of the art last generation equipment to perform the most accurate eye exams. The optician is the best. He finds you the best match for your face, and they offer the best frames you can find, such as IC Berlin, which are awesome. The staff is friendly and professional. I am extremely happy with my choice. I have been seen by them for two years. I highly recommend them read more

They are very picky when you get late and they will cancel your appointments. The glasses are the most expensive he will find. By the way after a year the glasses break very easy. I found a better place online. It nicer and cheaper then this place. I am happy with my new eye doctor. read more

Dr. Park Hsieh is a really nice guy who takes the time to talk to the patient and explain things thoroghly. I have also seen one of the associate doctors and she was also very nice and good with my children. I definitely recommend them! read more

I needed new glasses since mine was 2 years old so I wanted to find an eye doctor that was close to my area. I was seen on a Sat afternoon. Everyone in the office was friendly and Dr Hsieh was very patient and explained everything clearly throughout the process. The modern office with everything looking new. It's a pretty hip place. I got an exam and new glasses. There were lots of nice, trendy , and brand name glasses available to choose from. I was a little annoyed with the parking situation though. It was so difficult to get a parking spot due to the parking area being very congested. It gets busy since since Trader Joe's is literally next door. Maybe the parking is better on weekdays, I hope. read more

Aidan and his staff amaze me every visit with their hospitality, customer service, and selection! Finding the perfect eyewear is like finding the perfect pair of jeans. I have about 10 pairs of glasses and I receive tons of compliments on how well they suit my personality/face! Dr. Hsieh is very intelligent, friendly, and thorough. Not to mention very easy on the eyes The only downside is they're not closer to home (sf). read more

Very pleasant visit, store was very clean and bright. Sonia was very helpful, she helped me fill out my paper work and was very kind to me during the eye exam. I get nervous with things near my eye and she talked with me and calmed me. Overall great read more

Excellent service! Dr is warm and friendly and explains everything clearly. My glasses are always perfect especially with the help of Aiden who always picks out the perfect frames for my face. Highly reccomend this place. read more

The doctor was very good, very professional. Unfortunately, when my glasses came in, the person who helped (??) me was not interested in putting any more effort in assuring that my glasses fit me properly. He just handed over my glasses and went back to what he was doing. When I asked him about fitting, he acted as if I was imposing on him, he took my glasses, heated them and bent them and handed them back. He didn't bother to assure they fit properly and made it clear that he had done all that he was willing to do. I have NEVER had such extremely poor service at an optometrist before! They have lost my business! read more

100% A+ for Natalie, the Dr and the whole staff at Eye Love. I live in pinole and walked by this place so many times. I finally got tired of my old spot who I won't mention and came to Eye Love for a better experience and eyeglass selection. The customer service here is like no other I've experienced. From start to finish they treat you like a star. All of their machinery is super high tech, the Doctor explained everything he did in a super understandable way and really helped me pick the correct setup for me. As well when it came to picking glasses Natalie was amazing in finding glasses that would fit my face and features and everyone gave me great informative feedback on why they liked the different ones. As well they use one of the best lense manufacturers. The selection of frames was one of the reasons I went here and was not disappointed at all. All the brans names and huge selection. I'm bringing my whole family back here. I am a small business owner myself and can really appreciate service like this. They didn't ask me to write this, I am honestly and enthusiastically pumped on this place if you can't tell! read more

A really good Optometry experience. Decided to drive about 20 miles for my wife's new glasses and prescriptions because of their high end glass frame selection. My wife wanted Anne et Valentin glasses. They have great selection and superb service selecting the right frames and lenses. Tessa did a terrific job spending a lot of time with us making sure our order was perfect. Overall a "10" experience, nice people, and willing to work with you. read more

They are bringing style to the East Bay! Aiden always helps me find frames to match my fresh! The staff is awesome, professional and greets my whole family by our names whenever we walk through the doors. If you're looking for awesome frames, a personable and knowledgable staff look no further. read more

I appreciate you taking your time to write out your reasoning for the hours and policies. However, I stand by what I stated before. I could understand missing your hours 2-3 times but my repeated attempt for trying to reach your store was a frustrating process for me. After your explanation about your model number policy I suppose I can understand why you wouldn't want to hand out that information because it potentially gives another store the customers business. I was able to find another place where I could afford my glasses and got the frames I liked at $70 less than what you had them priced at. I was also able to get the scratch proof, anit-glare lenses for a fraction of the price. I went ahead an adjusted my review slightly because I do believe once you get in the store the service is quick and the people are very nice. However, it doesn't change the fact that getting an affordable pair of glasses wasn't an easy process for me. read more

My first encounter at eye love optometry the service wasn't the greatest but I had a good exam. On my second visit the service was off the chart. The staff and of course the doctor was friendly and witty. My second encounter there crossed out my first one. The facility really cares about eye health with their patients on the new technology that is used. If anyone had a bad experience tried again. Someone probably had a bad day. Just saying read more
