Dr. Wong is thorough and thoughtful in his exam. I always feel like I'm in good hands. Super helpful friendly staff. Knowledgeable about insurance. read more

Dr Wong has been my optometrist ever since I moved to Petaluma and it was the best choice I ever made for my eyes! Dr Wong always goes above and beyond to ensure that his customers are cared for as both patients and people! Thank you Dr Wong! read more

I am very happy to have found Dr. Wong as my new optometrist! He very thorough and careful, just what I want concerning my eyesight. I think his concern is the condition of my eyes and my ability to see. He patiently explained everything especially the state of my eyes health. My new driving glasses are perfect and they didn't cost all that much. Some optometrists around here are eyeglass frame mills with four or five employees. read more

Wonderful and thorough annual eye exam. Dr. Wong went through each test and explained everything he was seeing and how it affected me in my daily life. Turns out I didn't need new glasses but I do need cataract surgery. He's already sent his referral and I highly recommend him and his office even though he doesn't take Medicare. read more

what a great exam. honest and truthful. I wish I found Dr Wong sooner. I tell everyone about him. thank you

This office is amazing! Not only is Dr. Wong an excellent optometrist but his assistant, Aspen is one of the most patient and professional administrators I have had the pleasure of encountering. I am hard to fit for glasses and not only did Aspen assist me with choosing frames, but she was extremely patient adjusting my frames to make sure they were comfortable. I will never go anywhere else. read more

A week later, I brought my 7 year old daughter with Autism to see Dr. Wong. This man is just hands down the best eye doctor in Sonoma County! He was just great with her. Super patient and made the process for me, as the mom, painless. I'm so grateful to Dr. Wong for making my daughters first experience a great one! His front office secretary is very kind as well. She booked us as their last appointment so we didn't have to wait and also, in case, my daughter made inappropriate noises! Ha! She didnt. But, it was nice to know they were wonderful at booking our appointment when they did, since I was concerned about it! Thank you for listening to me and taking all of my concerns into consideration! Wonderful practice! read more

See all

This was my second visit to Dr. Wong. I was having problems reading up close AND seeing for distance. I didn't know if i needed new glasses or it was a change in my eyes. I was getting concerned. I contacted his front office person, Aspen, and she found an open slot for me. Dr. Wong did his magic in his way - efficiently and humanly. He identified that I needed a new prescription. He also identified I was having a little problem with one implant and also with my eyes. He set me up with an ophthalmologist here in Ptown. Dr Wong is the best optometrist I've ever had. And since I'm 75 I've had a lot of them in San Francisco and Marin before this. Aspen is the epitome of "Petaluma Nice" and now I look forward to seeing a new friend when I come in for a visit. read more

Yelp needs 10 stars as an option. Dr. Wong and his staff deserve more than 5 stars. I am very delighted to be writing this review to say that I got some of the best care and customer service from Dr. Wong's office. Aspen the receptionist was educated and patient with me, and Dr Wong was thorough and kind. He spent an hour for my appointment and I left knowing so much more about how my eye health is. This office is top notch. You really don't need to research any more. Kindness, care, expertise, thorough, and so professional. THANK you Aspen and Dr. Wong!!! read more

I found Dr. Wong about 6-7 years ago when I was living in Petaluma. I've since moved cities but he's the best optometrist I've ever had so I make the 1+ hour drive to my appointments! I always recommend him to friends and family in and outside Petaluma. read more

Dr Wong is an excellent optometrist. He takes the time to give a thorough exam, gives great information and listens well. thank you!

My coworker recommended me to Dr. Wong and I'm so glad she did!!! I agree with all of the other glowing reviews on here too. He took his time and really figured out my new contact lens prescriptions, though it was on the fence of staying the same. He even does a distance test, having you go outside the room to look past the parking lot with a sample set of lenses compared to the old ones. It helped give me that 100% verification that it would be correct! He was not rushed at all and very kind, gentle, and soft-spoken - but also really funny! I felt totally comfortable asking questions. I told him my contacts were a little blurry in the morning and he explained the toric lenses have a line on them meaning that's the bottom anchor - so if I put them in with that aligned, it would take less time to adjust. WOW - no one else ever told me that! My last eye doctor (also local but I won't name names here) rushed me and saw me for maybe 10 minutes (plus time for dilation where I had to sit and wait in the office for nearly an hour while she took other patients!) And when I asked her about Lasik, she just had the receptionist give me a pamphlet, no discussion. Dr. Wong did the dilation but patiently waited for it to work and didn't keep me waiting any longer than necessary. Much appreciated! And he even brought up Lasik as I had marked it on the paperwork as a future possibility and he gave me any pros/cons. They even do pre- and post - op appointments for it in his office! In addition, the receptionist Tanya was really cool, personable, and funny too - and got me in to see him in a reasonable time, both in scheduling and less than a 5 minute wait once paperwork was filled out. PLUS she was taking donations for the Valley Fire animals while I was there too. How kind! She mentioned the VSP discount plan over the phone, gave me specific pricing without me even asking, and never rushed me. I can't recommend this business enough and am almost looking forward to my next exam next year and for my new contact prescription to come in! Great and kind service! read more

Computers and screens abound, I felt my 20/20 vision slipping, and it was time to have it checked out. I have to admit, I was a bit nervous having never had a proper and full eye exam ever in my life. Dr Wong and Tanya could not have made the process more pleasant if they tried. Tanya made me laugh, and put me at ease right away. Dr Wong... I can't say enough good things. He really cares. He engaged me in great conversation while seamlessly, and efficiently explaining each part of the exam. He's so sweet, gentle and thorough. After the exam, I had fun trying on different frames with the help and care of Tanya. She made it so delightful. Thank you Dr. Wong and Tanya! read more

I went to Dr.wong with a complaint of blurriness in my vision. dr.womg took a look and was immediately concerned and told me I need to see a retinologist pronto. I call the reninologist who ended up being booked out a couple weeks. I called dr.wong to let him know I made their next available appointment. He told me he would call me right back. 3 minutes later he called and said he had made me an appointment for the following morning. Apparently I would have lost my vision permanently if I had Wait. Dr.wong legitimately cares for his patients and will go the extra mile for them. I will never see another eye doctor because I don't think there's one out there as good as dr.wong. read more

My glasses had lost the nose pads and while I was in the shopping centre of Dr Wong I went in to see them while I was visiting the area from Florida. The young blonde lady in the store was very nice and was very proficient in installing two new nose pads on my glasses and I was out of the store in five minutes. If I lived in the area I would definitely be going to this optometrist as their customer service is excellent and obviously they are very professional. read more

I was completely blown away by my experience with Dr. Wong. It was the most thorough eye exam that I have ever had and he was SUPER nice! I am so happy to have found him and definitely recommend him to anyone. His staff is very nice too! read more

I am REALLY pleased with this place. I can get cheaper glasses at Costco (and I got what I paid for) but the service, attention to detail, integrity and quality is worth it, here. Everybody who wears glasses knows that they are expensive. This office has fair prices and extraordinary service. Tanya is someone I will return to again. She's helpful, knowledgeable , great personality , honest , and a pleasure to deal with. Her great service is why I will be back! read more

Our family has been going to Dr Wong for years. He does a great job of assessing vision, finding the right prescription and offering options. He explains things clearly and is open to questions.

Dr. Wong gave me the most complete eye exam I have had from an Optometrist !!! Some of the tests he preformed I have never had with his machine's and he spent over an hour of quality time with me. When his diagnosis was complete he gave me 2 different options on contacts for both my eyes. The office is quiet, personable and efficient. Reminds me on how doctors used to be. His knowledge is extensive as he answered all my questions. I am glad I came to see him and feel confident he will be my doctor of choice for years to come. Thanks again !! read more

Dr. Wong is my son's optometrist and after watching him a couple of times, I got myself a consultation. I have a major cornea scar and Dr. Wong was amazing. He stayed after hours and spent 2 hours with me to make sure he got me the correct prescription. He is so knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend him! read more

Dr. Gordon Wong and Tanya are the BEST ! BEST QUALITY: They are extremely thorough, professional, super friendly, courteous and patient. Dr. Wong & Tanya take EXTRA time for each patient and go the EXTRA MILES for you and making sure you are TOTALLY satisfied with everything. You feel like you're the only patient! If there was an Oscar Award for BEST OPTOMETRIST ASSISTANT.. the OSCAR goes to TANYA ! They are one of the Most important people in my life: Hairdresser, mechanic, tax consultant, doctor and my optometrist ! read more

I just have to tell yelpers how helpful Dr. Gordon Wong's office is, and I've never even been his patient yet. I called today and left a voice message about my particular situation. I needed a new contact prescription appointment, because my current eye doctor closes early/doesn't open weekends and I've recently gotten a new job in Santa Rosa. I also am going to pay out of pocket because I don't like my kaiser vision plan. I explained this all in my long voicemail. So basically, it's challenging to fit any doctors appointments ever. Anyhow, a Tanya or Tonya called me back and left me a long voice message with so many good details. First she mentioned how dr Wong has some evening appointment days but they are generally booked out a month. In the fall they extend them more. She quoted the price per out of pocket appointment and covered all the questions I asked. She said she highly recommends dr Wong but if I'm really in a rush and need a walk in appointment, to go to a local chain in town as she knows the optometrist there is good too. I MEAN, how nice and professional is that?? When I'm not in a pinch I'm going to call back and check dr Wong out. Per yelp and petaluma locals, he seems like the right person to go to for eye care and his staff seem to mirror that. read more

I had a great experience with Dr Wong. He was very patient, and even allowed me to walk to the doorway to look outside with a test lense to make sure I'm comfortable with the prescription. I have had experiences where I was with an optometrist who double up appointments and rushed through exams, and that was not the case in this office. Dr Wong was very professional, and asked lots of questions to determine the best glasses & contacts for me. It's true, the location is a little odd. Don't let it fool you. It's convenient, and easy to get to. I would have liked to see a more contemporary selection of frames. I'll admit to liking the big nerdy frames, and most were pretty sleek and professional. It's a win for most. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Wong's for about 7 years. He provides a professional and thorough eye exam, handles all insurance types, and if you don't have insurance, will work with you on price for exams, glasses and contact lenses. He explains each step of the exam, and has a friendly, helpful manner. I recently upgraded to bifocal contacts and he gave me 3 different brands on a trial basis, advising that there is a failure rate for bifocals depending on the individual. I tried them for a month and for me the Coopervision was best for me. It is great to buy local and deal with the actual owner of the business, and it's in a convenient location with plenty of parking. I could save a few bucks by ordering lenses online or driving 10 or 20 miles to walmart, but I would rather buy directly from Dr. Wong. His assistant Tanya is friendly, helpful and great about calling you back to answer questions. She helped me get a great deal through VSP earlier this year. She is committed to this business and is a pleasure to deal with. They are a great team and another reason to do business in Petaluma! read more

Dr. Wong was so kind! He was really helpful answering all my questions about getting contacts for the first time. I really appreciated his help in working with my busy schedule to make an appointment work for me as well. He's super nice, chatty, and very much loves what he does! read more

Dr Wong and his team are the best in sonoma county. i needed an exam, new prescription and also selected new frames because the old ones were very worn out. when the new frames came in they didn't fit right and despite their efforts to adjust them they didn't work out so astrid(sp?) went to work to find me a pair of the same as my old, well loved frames and found them on ebay in canada! today i picked up my new, old frames and am way way pleased. they went out of their way to make it work. great customer service. read more

I moved to Petaluma three years ago. I work for a company that has excellent VSP coverage, so I get my eyes checked religiously once a year. Unfortunately, I tried another optometrist for the first two years I was in town and, knowing it was time for another exam, I realized I wasn't pleased, so I did a Yelp search and found Gordon Wong, OD. My impression of the optometry field from past experiences is that of greedy people hurrying an appointment along, and sending out bad vibes if you don't purchase all the extras and the most expensive frames. Not so with Dr. Wong's office. Dr. Wong gave me my exam and told me what he was doing, AND WHY, every step of the way. It was a learning experience, quite enlightening indeed! When it came time to choose new frames, I happened to find what I loved in the sale bin, for goodness sake, and Tania encouraged me to purchase them. No hard sell promoting expensive stuff. It was most refreshing! Tania also told me I had excellent coverage for contact lens, something I never heard in any of the other offices. I'm wondering if I may have been getting ripped off in the past, so I'm going to bring my paperwork to Tania when I pick up my glasses, just out of curiosity. So, if you're looking for an honest, upbeat, no BS optometrist, I highly recommend Dr. Wong. Linda Wilson, Petaluma, CA read more

I needed to get my eyes exam after 4 years and didn't have an Eye Doctor. I found Dr. Wong on Yelp and he had great ratings. I gave his office a call and made an appointment. fixed. What a great find -- a very skilled eye doctor that answers questions in an easy to understand manner. He is a gentle and compassionate doctor. His staff makes a great doctor even better. I highly recommend Dr. Wong if you need your eyes checked or your glasses replaced or read more

Dr Wong is the best! He is very thorough and he has a great deamanor. I recommend him to everyone. I wouldn't want to go to anyone else!

He is honestly the best eye doctor I've seen! Hes very welcoming and takes the time to listen and answer any questions you nay have. I also take my son here and Dr. Wong is great with him too. read more

These guys are the best. Dr Wong does a thorough exam without making me flinch like some eye doctors. Tanya is excellent getting you set up with glasses. Very friendly service and very professional. read more

Great office in Petaluma. Very professional staff and Dr Wong takes his time with your eye exam and recommended some great contacts

I went to Dr Wong for a "second opinion" on what I suspected was an incorrect prescription obtained elsewhere. He was incredibly patient and extremely thorough in his exam, and I could not be happier with my new prescriptions. He totally nailed it. He also was personable and interesting, and will be my eye doctor from now on. He is worth the trek down from Healdsburg. read more

He's a brilliant technician with a fun sense of humor! He did a COMPLETE eye exam, not the usual in-and-out! Well worth your time, a true professional. read more

PATIENCE for patients. I have a child with disabilities. Sometimes, it's questionable as to whether my child's speaking the same language we are. Entertaining if you're just hanging around, but if you're trying to figure out whether he can SEE or not, that's another story. Dr. Wong had INCREDIBLE patience with my son, checking, double-checking, TRIPLE-checking to make SURE the prescription he was recommending was what my son needed. We ended up with glasses I KNOW work because he actually goes to put them on without nagging. Then it was time for my older son to get contacts. Trying to teach him to put them in was kind of like trying to coax a cat into a shower. i would've walked away. Dr. Wong just kept at it, encouraging, gentle, guiding...it was pretty amazing. And then there's Tanya. She tracked down crazy frames for us ...and when my son changed his mind? NO. PROBLEM! She understands; if you want kids to wear their glasses, start by making sure they're getting glasses THEY picked out and THEY like. She's funny, kind, and takes her job personally. You can tell; it MATTERS to her. They may be saints. They're DEFINITELY our for-keeps eye doctor. Funny, I actually found them because hey! Lots of good YELP reviews. Must be okay, right? ABSOLUTELY. read more

Dr. Wong has been the most wonderful O.D. He has served our family for over 10yrs and I have to say he is like the "Eye Angel". We have had a few eye emergencies over the years and he has been there and saved my son's sight in his left eye by being prompt and accurate in desperate situations. Just the other day my husband has a shard of metal lodged in his eye. I called Dr. Wong and he didn't make him wait. He saw him right away . Same with my son each time his retina detached . He's an amazing caring doctor. A rarity in this day and age . read more

I am a new client of Dr. Wong (and Tanya's!) and I have never been more impressed by his services. My prescription is extremely difficult to fit and I always have a hard time finding someone with the patience and expertise to help me with my vision. Dr Wong has both. He was understanding, easy to talk to, answered all my questions, and made my visits very comfortable. Tanya was excellent and skilled in not only processing my order and appointment, but also in fitting me for glasses. I have not felt comfortable in glasses in 25 years! I truly appreciate their service and will always go back, for me and for my family! read more
