So happy with my first visit here. Not only were all the women at the front desk super helpful and kind, the doctor was very thorough in regard to explaining my eye health and what to look out for based on my exam. Thank you! read more

I have never had a better optometrist in my life. Staff is very friendly and the doctor knows what he's talking about. He pointed out something that none of my previous optometrists did which led to me taking preventative action. Thanks so much! read more

This place is a hidden gem!! They work with all insurance and with no insurance. They have great customer service! Did you know that someone can help you learn how to apply contact!?? Well I did not know that.... My daughter needed to learn.. Well they work with our schedule for two weeks to really show her how to apply them correctly and this was amazing!! Them always with a smile and never rushed her or made her feel uncomfortable in any way. The optometrist is great! Well spoken and teaches you as he does test and helps you with your needs. Oh man! I can't believe we had missed this place for so many years... Well we are so glad we finally found them!! I 1000% Recommend!!!! read more

Incredible experience I was seen swiftly on a Friday morning, Michelle at the front desk was informative and helpful. The office was clean and parking was easy which is a great plus. Doctor Hector was incredible professional and kind, HIGHLY recommend. read more

I recently got something stuck in my left eye and called Figueroa optometry center to see if they could please take a last minute walk in, they said to try to get there within 5-10 min. Luckily my shop is 4 minutes away, I made it in and was checked out right away. The doctor took out several lints out of my eye and told me that if the uncomfortable feeling didn't go away to just go back the following day. Unfortunately it didn't go away, the very next day I notified them and they told me to go in again, he went above and beyond to check what the problem was. He spent over 1.5 hours looking in there with his device and made sure he found the problem. I sincerely appreciate his huge efforts to figure out my swelling problem. He gave me special eye drops and I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much DR. I'll definitely refer everyone I know. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Duenas as an optometrist. I've actually been getting my eye exams from him for a few years at other offices, and he's worth the trek for my annual checkups. I have a tricky prescription and other optometrists have had trouble getting it right, but I appreciate the extra effort Dr. Duenas takes to make sure it works for me and doesn't make me dizzy. I also have had retinal surgery in the past, and Dr. Duenas always offers to dilate me to make sure my retinas are still OK. The front office staff is also really nice. They made me feel very welcome, and took the time to go over my insurance so I could maximize my insurance. The parking lot can get pretty crowded, so just allow extra time for that. Overall, if you're looking for a thorough eye exam, accurate results, and a pleasant experience, I highly recommend this office. read more

You know you've got a really GREAT optometrist if you're willing to drive over an hour to see him! I have been seeing Dr. Duenas for almost decade and when I moved out to the Inland Empire, I didn't hesitate to continue scheduling my appointments with him despite the long commute. Dr. Duenas' bedside manner makes you feel comfortable during your exam--you feel cared for and comfortable and like you're his only patient, even when his office is capable of handling high patient volume. I've witnessed interactions with other patients coming out of the exam room and he is so informative and charming to both elderly patients and younger audiences alike. In addition to being a kind and pleasant doctor, Dr. Duenas is more than competent and knowledgeable. In brief conversations in the exam room, he's shared about courses or meetings he's attended to stay up to date on the most recent technology, procedures, and eye care information. Some other reviews note that parking can be a bit of a challenge because it is in a small lot shared with other stores, but if you allow a bit of extra time, you should be able to find parking--I've never had an issue. I'd just like to share my utmost gratitude for Dr. Duenas and his team for being so attentive during my latest experience. I woke up with pain in my left eye and upon closer inspection, saw that it was really red, sensitive to light, and had some discharge. My Google search lead me to believe I had a corneal ulcer which alarmed me a little bit so I contacted Dr. Duenas. He was so prompt to respond and although it was late in the day, didn't hesitate to call a pharmacy to fill a prescription so I could start treatment that same night. I think the quick response on Dr. Duenas' part made all the difference. He checked in on me the next morning and it my eye's condition had improved significantly. I strongly recommend Dr. Duenas and the Figueroa Optometry Center staff to anyone and everyone. Thank you again! read more

Had the best experience with Dr. Dueñas and his staff. He takes his time, allows for questions and thoroughly explains. Annual check-up's are a breeze! read more

Simply amazing!!! Front staff is very welcoming, hassle free service. I was in & out for my exam in less than 30 min. They were so helpful when it came to choosing my frame and the options I had! The Doctor was also amazing! Explained everything in detail & ultimately told me I did not really need glasses but since I sat in front of a computer if I really wanted glasses I could choose one with blue light. Definitely recommending this place to family & friends! read more

Figueroa Optometry Center is amazing! Dr. Duenas is incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly. I take my entire family there and it's so convenient because he's bilingual.

I needed to find a new eye doctor to get fitted for contacts and glasses and my first time here was the best experience I had as a new customer in a very long while. The front desk was extremely helpful in answering all of my questions and Dr. Duenas was so nice and a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a new eye doctor, I would highly recommend this practice. Everyone is so friendly and helpful! read more

Dr. Chang is the best. I have been going to her for my annual eye exam the past 3 years. She is very approachable and takes patient care seriously. She is very thorough with her eye exams, and she never made me feel rushed. There was a time when I walked into her office panicked about a sudden blurred vision and vision-related headaches, Dr. Chang clearly explained how those were expected symptoms with my age (after my vision-correction surgery), so she provided a prescription for reading and driving glasses. Dr. Chang is knowledgeable and I trust her with my eyes. It is definitely worth the drive across town to see her. I highly recommend her. The office staffs are pleasant and they would go out of their way in helping me to schedule my appointment. read more

Both of my kids and myself come to this location and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. Began taking my son when Dr. Herman was still there and was kind of worried about a new doctor coming in. However, Dr. Dueñas is amazing! Also, shout out to Perla; always on the top of her game! My kids and I love her. She is truly knowledgeable and helpful. read more

The exterior is a bit intimidating, and parking is tight, but there's extra parking in the back, though you have to enter from the front. After entering the business, I felt very much at ease. Dr. Hector Duenas took his time, really helped me find the right prescription, and took time to answer all my questions and concerns. They have a great selection of frames, and Michelle was extremely generous with her time in helping me select a good frame, without rushing me to make a selection on such a big purchase. I had a 5-star experience and would recommend this place. read more

Small place but nice and clean. Everyone was very helpful and polite. I would recommend.

I was in need of new frames and searched up an optometry location close around my area, and came across this place. When I tell you they had good options, they had great options! The ladies in the front are super friendly and very helpful. I forgot their names, but thank you girls. Spoke to the Doc and he was extremely helpful when it came to all the questions I had. I also wanted to try out contacts out and he helped me through the process. Very friendly, helpful and attentive in everything. Over all the experience was on point. Just wanna thank you all. I recommend this to friends and family. read more

Called in to make sure my insurance covered me for an eye exam and Isabel had great customer service and made an appointment for me because I was covered.My appointment went smooth, the doctor was amazing! I've never had someone be so thorough with me. He gave me a lot of tips to keep my eyes more healthy since my prescription did go up. Recommend! read more

I really liked that this place was able to accommodate an appointment on short notice. I was running into a deadline to use my FSA cash and needed a quick turnaround. Dr Dueñas and the staff were awesome and took care of me. They also make sure to use all COVID precautions/ safety measures. Will definitely come back. read more

The lady next to perla, on the first window has nasty rude attitude. This happened twice already. her tone was really condescending and patronizing. Stay away from this place. read more

This review is long overdue. I've been a patient of Dr. Duenas for 2 years now and I'm always reminded of how amazing the patient care is. Not only is Dr. Duena's an excellent optometrist, he is kind and caring which is a rare find these days. Not once have I had to wait too long in the waiting room and ordering contacts is always breeze. He and his staff make the whole annual eye process very easy. I would easily recommend him to any of my co-workers and friends. read more

I've been coming here for years I started off with Dr. Herman and now I'm seeing Dr. Dueñas. Dr. Dueñas is a very good optometrist and takes his time. He explained to me any issues I had with my new prescription. I'm so happy that Perla is still part of Dr. Dueñas staff she has been there forever lol! She is an experienced assistant and knowledgeable about my insurance plan. She is fun to work with when selecting my eyewear. My family and friends come here as well and they always leave happy with Dr. Dueñas and Perlas help! read more

Old doctor retired. New optomitrist kept the same staff but you can definitely see and feel the difference. Parking still blows but the free samples you get make up for it. He also lowered the prices. read more

I am writing on behalf of my parents who are spanish speakers. They always talk about how great Dr. Hector Duenas is with them. They talk about how he explains in detail of any problems with their eyes, the procedure for an exam, and the types of treatments for their condition. Thank you Dr. Duenas for helping my parents. read more

I love my new lenses! Had the best experience selecting my frames and learning more about the discounts available to me through my insurance. The staff was so knowledgable and made me feel so comfortable, what was once frustrating has now become a joy! Can't wait to rock my new frames all 2020! read more

I have been coming to Figueroa Optometry Center since I was a kid when my parents first took me to see Dr. Shenkin (retired). As an adult and now as a parent I continued to see Dr. Herman (retired) and now the new Dr. Duenas. I had an eye and contact lense examination with Dr. Duenas and all I can say is Dr Duenas is Awesome!! I love the fact that he up on techonology, and is highly skilled/educated in eye and vision care. He's young so he gets it. He is professional and thorougly checked my eyes and the recommendations he provided me for my astigmatism and near sightedness as it applies to contacts and glasses I was very pleased. In addition he gave me samples which I appreciated. I also appreciate the fact that he is open twice a month on Saturday's so it works for those of us with hectic work schedules. The front office ladies I have known for years are nice as always. The parking is a bit hectic but there is parking in the back for his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Duenas and Figueroa Optometry to others (adults and children) for their vision and eye care needs. read more
