    Annual Eye Exam + Eye Dilation = Being healthy is cool!
    Melissa M.

    After searching and researching, I went ahead and trusted these Yelp reviews to book my appt with Dr. Kim Lai. The last time I've seen an optometrist was almost 20yrs ago so I honestly didn't know what to expect. Dr. Lai was so sweet and explain to me that my eye health is just as equally important to my overall physical health. That over time our eyes/vision change but because the changes are slight, your brain slowly starts to adapt without you even recognizing it. Her office meets up to COVID precautions and the staff (Monica) is amazingly kind! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Dr. Kim knew exactly what she was doing with super cool gadgets and lights to get precises results from my eyes tests. My eye were dilated and got these "cool" glasses to wear! -Def will be coming back

My daughter and I have been looking for an eye doctor since ours retired with very little luck for the past two years. Did some research and found this office and am so happy with our choice. Entered and greeted by the host at the desk immediately. Went back for some pre-eye work with an assistant who was lovely. Connected with my teen daughter beautifully and explained in detail all the steps she was doing with me since I had some additional scans due to my age. At my request, they moved some scheduling around with no problem so I could stay with my daughter for her appointment. The doctor was incredible. Detailed. Attentive. Personable. Honest. Resourceful. Had a solution or recommendation for every concern that was found. Really appreciated her intellect, communication and honesty. Time to look at glasses. I've been unhappy with my purchases in the past for years and now need glasses full time for close and distance vision. I have migraine disease and a very low bridge so glasses need to be light and snug. I was spoiled rotten. Two technicians looking after me. Honest. Informed. Fun. They had a frame I really liked but did not have the color I preferred. There were two other options and they took the time to order both for me so I could decide. Overall, a truly wonderful experience. I actually got a bit emotional because I have missed the care I got from our previous eye doctor and his team and didn't think I'd find a place like his again. This office truly made every worry I had go away. I am so grateful I found this office. Could not have asked for a more pleasant, caring, and educated team.

I was seen 10-15 minutes after my appointment time. The first examination room could be cleaner. The machine was also a tad bit high so I wish they had an adjustable height chair or machine. Dr. Kh. was good, but she was very much focused on directing the conversation in a way to sell more services. She told me that everything was alright, but she would like to watch this and that and for that I needed that...in a tone that made me wonder if there is something wrong with my eyes. I also didn't know that people of my nationality have different optical nerves. I hope that is not a bad thing.

She takes care of you the moment you walk into her office. In the past, I've always felt like a number at optometry offices, which is why I don't have an optometrist that I see regularly. Healthcare has become an area that is more about quantity rather than quality..however, seeing Dr. Nguyen was completely different. Her office is welcoming and very hip! It was so easy to vibe with her and speak openly about my past vision problems. She took the time to explain my vision health and answered all of my questions. She is up to date with the latest technology and I even inquired about my candidacy for LASIK vision. She explained the pros and cons and provided me with great resources to learn more. When I'm ready, I'm definitely going to reach out to Dr. Nguyen for a referral/recommendation because I trust her judgement. Hands down the #1 optometrist!! She is so patient and takes time to LISTEN TO ME! I can't wait to see her again. I plan to recommend my friends and family to see Dr. Nguyen!! Great service, very professional, and a clinician that you can trust!!

    Dr. Tiffany Nguyen is a very personable and efficient optometrist…read more I arrived earlier than my scheduled appointment and the staff didn't give my any issues. They were all super friendly and welcoming As a new patient, I had no problems with the paperwork and insurance. I called ahead of time to make sure that my insurance would cover the visit, and she went above and beyond and called the insurance company herself! Overall, I was in and out of my exam in less than 30 minutes! Definitely possible during your lunch break, or a quick stop while running errands. Dr. Nguyen answered all of my questions regarding my eye care and health. She even used pictures to help explain what was going on with my eyes. Definitely would return again for my annual exam and would highly recommend her to all of my family and friends. Parking was not an issue. Big plus: they're located in Target. Why wouldn't you want to visit? #Target #onpoint #20/20

    The worst experience I have had in 25 years of wearing glasses…read more Not only did I have to wait over an hour for a scheduled appointment, but Dr Katzaroff gave me a prescription that was so off, I couldn't read at all. I scheduled another appt. with him and again had to wait almost an hour. The second prescription was as bad as the first. Since then, I've left several messages trying to resolve this, but he has not returned my calls. I am now out several hundred dollars and I am starting all over with a more competent optometrist. BTW, when I told my daughter this story I found out that she too had a HORRIBLE experience with DR. K and wound up having to go to another optometrist for a new prescription. Lastly, if after reading this you are foolish enough to go there, wear a snow suit. He keeps his office at near arctic temperatures. When I asked him why it was so cold, he answered it was the only way he could keep himself awake. I think it's not working. Dr. K is asleep at the switch.

    I had such a fabulous experience here! Arrived about 10 minutes early to my appointment and…read morereceived some paperwork to fill out. Brenda at the front desk is fabulous--as is the wonderful optometrist I had the pleasure of receiving my eye exam from (I wish I got her name but she is a younger woman and had super cute circular glasses frames!). I expressed to the doctor that my previous prescription I received 4+ years ago from an entirely different doctor (under insurance) felt a bit too strong, and it had felt strong ever since I got those glasses. After doing some tests, she proceeded to tell me that my previous prescription was for astigmatism...I definitely don't have astigmatism lol. No idea how that happened, but this doctor was able to adjust my new prescription right away. I even got to see the retinal scan/images that were taken of my eyes and it was fascinating! I had never been shown that before from any other doctor. Overall, the appointment was quick and easy, and the staff is very nice and attentive. For $95 (no insurance), it was well worth it! Will absolutely be coming to this location again in the future. No complaints--thank you! :)

I finally decided to switch from my old Optometrist and give Dr. Frisch a try. I'm so glad that I did! First, I'll start with how easy it is to schedule an appointment. The front staff are so nice and welcoming. Hailey was amazing, efficient and very helpful. Dr. Frisch has an extensive resume of education, training and many years of experience in his field. He is very thorough with his exams, explains everything in detail and also has the best personality! He is kind, warm and genuinely loves what he does and cares about his patients. Most importantly, he doesn't rush through the exam. They have state of the art equipment for testing your eyes. A lovely selection of eye glass frames. Andrew was helpful in ordering my new glasses and going over what's covered under our vision plan. Parking is a breeze.
