I first came to Dr. Anshel last year in October and I must say I have never had such a complete eye exam. I am a strange one wearing only one contact for seeing far. ( Mono Vision) Now my reading eye is getting weak. He had me try a few options ( two different contacts) and I will be going back next week for another option of reading glasses using only the one eye. Very clever! I really appreciate the time he has spent to get me the perfect solution. read more

Dr. Jeff Anshel is the best most knowledgeable optometrist I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. My glasses are phenomenal and stylish. If you want quality then EStreet Eyes is the place. read more

I was looking forward to going to E Street Eyes as I recently moved to Encinitas and needed to get contact lenses. Unfortunately, when I called to schedule my appointment, the lady who answered said "okay we'll find a time and call you back" and hung up, without asking for my information, my availability, etc. Thinking that maybe they had caller ID, I was hoping I'd receive a call the next day. It's been 2 weeks and I've never received a call back. Very disappointing, and I hope this doesn't happen to any other prospective customer. read more

Dr Anshel is not an ordinary optometrist. In addition to helping you find the ideal prescription, he focuses on preventative care, such as nutrition and diet. I never realized until the Doctor took the time to explain it to me- but diet is crucial to extending the quality and longevity of your eyesight. His enthusiasm and passion for what he does is contagious. Until I "saw" Dr Anshel, I always thought of going to an optometrist as a routine, boring chore that I would dread. A visit to his office proved to me that nothing could be further from the truth! Visit his office and you will see what I mean. read more

Just got your response. 1- Your perception had transposed the lenses for each eye. 2- costco may be less expensive, but calling them a discount house is like calling Mercedes a low quality vehicle. When a business makes a mistake, own the mistake- don't make it worse by telling the customer they are wrong. They will write yelp reviews. (Rude office staff isn't a help either) read more

Another great experience at E Street Eyes! The doc checked my eyes and noted the difference from my previous visits over the years. It's nice to have that history with one office so that we can check the degradation of my eyes. I hate to say it but I'm getting older!!! Stuff is changing and I'm glad I've got a professional like Dr Anshel on my team. read more

I had a broken blood vessel in my eye. They got me in quickly and Dr. Anshel was very thorough in making certain everything was okay. I was impressed with his knowledge, concern, and professionalism. The staff was great as well. I highly recommend Dr. Anshel. read more

We have been going to Dr. Anshel's office for the last 8 years and have had a wonderful experience. He is very thorough with his examinations, and puts us at ease about any concerns. read more

Dr. Anshel is a caring, thorough doctor. He takes the time to go over all your needs and to top it all off, he helps with your nutritional needs. He is very knowledgeable about nutrition and cares about your overall health. I found really cute glasses and sunglasses in his office and get compliments on them all the time. I would recommend Dr. Anshel as your next optometrist. read more

Anshel has his receptionist write up the prescriptions based upon his chicken scratch handwriting - which she did incorrectly 2 times. Three visits to their office then having glasses made up two separate times at Walmart Vision Center is very time consuming and frustrating. Walmart finally told me they couldn't keep remaking the glasses at no charge because of the doctor's errors. So I ditched Anshel and had the Walmart eye doctor examine my eyes instead (which isn't in my VSP network so it was out of pocket) and they got my prescription right the first time. I feel Anshel was a total waste of my time. read more

Terrible Customer Experience. I have never been a patient of Dr Anschel but have bought glasses here many times. I just bought a pair in February 2013. I returned in March 2014 because one of my lenses was scratched. I noticed the scratch several months earlier however it appeared to get worse. The women in charge of fitting glasses informed me that the lenses was not scratched but that the coating was peeling off. She went on to tell me that it was due to a previous employee using a poor quality lab. Additionally she was unable to find my purchase record something she also blamed on a prior employee. With my help she was able to determine the glasses were bought 13 months earlier and were therefore out of warranty. I decided to have the lenses replaced. I was quoted a price of $525.00 which was reduced to $275.00 the result of my having vision insurance. I was stunned by the price!!!! I decided on the spot to leave with my glasses in hand. Why on earth would I spend so much to replace lenses at a place that admitted to using an inferior lab! I went to Costco and asked for a quote on the replacement. I was quoted $122.00 and that was without even using my insurance. They recommended that I save the insurance benefit for when I purchase my replacement contact lenses as the savings would be more beneficial. All I can say is buyer beware. These guys are marking up their inferior product at an astronomical rate. read more

Not a reflection on Dr Anshell himself but of his staff, namely someone named Roxy???. Rude, abrupt, condescending, antagonistic, difficult to deal with, maybe the worst customer service of any servce based business. She was so rude that she suggested that I was not in her system even after I said that I definately saw Dr Anshell...turns out she had my last name misspelled and implied that it was my fault. Based on her alone I would not use Dr Anshells service. I look at the total experience which I have the right to expect to be pleasant all the way through. read more

Dr. Anshell is very knowledgeable and a thorough professional. He readily shares his rationale for prescriptions with his patients and is willing to experiment to arrive at the best solution. My entire family goes to him for eye exams. In my experience, his front office is just as professional, friendly and helpful. This practice is highly recommended for adults and children. read more

I went in for a simple pair or reading glasses as I was looking for a step up in quality from the Costco over-the-counter readers I had been buying for years. Long story short, it took 4 to 5 trips for Dr Anshel to get it right. These were trips to his office, trips to Costco with the new prescription each time to make the glasses, and trips back to Costco to pick up the finished glasses. Costco, amazingly, replaced the first four pairs at no cost even though it was not their prescription, but said there would be no more free replacements. When I informed Dr Anshel of this, he agreed that he would pay for the next pair and low and behold he finally got it right. But really, 4-5 attemps for simple readers? He also charged me a second exam even after he agreed to perform it at no additional cost due to all the problems. It took about a month for him to finally refund this charge. Save yourself some grief and find a different eye doctor. read more
