    My great new glasses, case, and much-appreciated cleaning cloth
    Jenn M.

    Everything about this business is fantastic! It started with my exam with optometrist Dr. Osako, who explained that the reason why my previous prescriptions were not allowing me to see better is that they were too strong. My last optometrist strengthened my previous prescription because I'd said I couldn't read fine print on my TV, but what they needed to do was correctly assess my vision, which (surprisingly!) had improved. Now, with Dr. Osaka's new prescription, I can actually see again, thank goodness! And yesterday, when I went to pick up my glasses, Jacqueline, the general manager, went well out of her way to take care of me. She was so friendly and kind, and shetreated me with such warmth, dignity, and respect. I am so grateful to her and to Tim, the super-friendly and clearly talented lab technician who took care of an important need I had for my new lenses. All in all, I am thrilled that I have found such a terrific optometrist office! I love my wonderful new glasses and the beautiful case that came with them, and I LOVE the fact that I can finally see! Thank you all at Friedman Optometry!

    Beautiful & wide selection

    So easy to work with - many helpful ppl (from reception desk to doctor to optician). Made appointment for 2 days later. Used my VSP insurance & got glasses / lenses for ~ $140 total. 10/10 recommend!

    New glasses!

Now, this review is not about their Optometry team, they might be great, I have no idea. I went in with a prescription for 3 glasses, needing 5 total. There selection was pretty good, not great, but I can't see so I really needed these glasses. They are a tad pricey, but that was also okay, as they promised me these glasses would be ready in a week and a half. I said, I'll give you two weeks, can you do it. I can't drive, I can't read. They promised that 1 and a half weeks would be plenty of time. Right. Almost a month later I called them and I got the "we were just about to call you" line, which you know is always false. They said my last pair just came in. I asked why they had not called when the first pair came in as I was very clear I could not drive or read. I got silence. I went in to get my glasses and waited close to 20 minutes Just for them to be fitted and put in a case. Now when I finally saw someone she was great, thus the 3 and not a 1 rating. She took care to fit the glasses right and put them all in cases--not the cases I thought I would have like the ones with the name of these expensive designer glasses I bought, but whatever. I won't be back. Don't make promises you can't keep, if there is an issue call the customer and don't make them call you, because having my husband drive me around is just so much fun and not at all a waste if his workday.

    Initial Review 3/5 -…read more Docs are great - professional, thorough, on time. The sales staff? I flat out told the guy I wanted the same glasses - classic Ray Ban Wayfarers in matte black - I already had and they made for me a couple years earlier. He said they no longer made them in matte black. So I asked for them in glossy. He spent another 20 minutes digging around and said they no longer made those either. Now, this set my spider sense off because Ray Ban not making classic Wayfarers is like McDonald's no longer serving hamburgers. So I politely say I'll look around and get back to them. I leave, spend two minutes on the Ray Ban website, and find the exact glasses I was asking for. I call the office back, get another sales rep, and tell him I was just in and wanted to order these glasses. He finds them instantly - same number that was on the glasses I showed the original rep. The new guy tells me I'll have to work with the original salesman - the guy who didn't really know what he was doing - and I'm kinda like "Do I have to?" He politely chuckles and assures me I'll hear back from the other guy within the day. Two days later and I never heard a peep. Get your eyes checked there but buy your glasses elsewhere. I practically spoon fed the guy a sale and couldn't even a call back. Disappointing. Updated Review 4/5 - I was contacted by Dr. Zelaya less than 24 hours after posting this review to make this situation right. I was given a quote for the order, clear communication, and assured that the consumer service issue would be addressed with the staff. I decided to order my third pair of glasses through their office.
