    Really great people! Dr. LaFont is a lot of fun, makes the time go by fast and his staff is great.

    In the examination room.

    I've gone to many different optometrists over my life. Most of them were ok, some were good. LaFont Family Eyecare is by far the best. The receptionists are friendly and accommodating, the selection of frames was more than adequate and the Doctor, well, he was awesome. I have found my permanent eye-doctor.

    My first visit was a really good experience overall. The eye exam, glasses fitting, and contact…read morelens fitting all felt smooth and thorough. The doctor is professional, easy to talk to, and has a very relaxed, chill demeanor that made the appointment comfortable. I was also recommended Optase Hylo Relief dry eye drops and they've been great. They keep my eyes lubricated with contacts and feel noticeably better than other brands I've tried. David, the office manager, is very straightforward, sometimes blunt, but always clear and helpful. There was a miscommunication with my contact lenses that left me unable to receive them for about two to three months. Luckily I had enough supply to get by. David was instrumental in resolving the issue, which stemmed from my vision benefits. He followed up diligently and handled everything with professionalism and persistence. The matter ultimately resolved with my insurance, and I was impressed by his level of service throughout. Overall, a very positive experience with attentive care and strong follow through when an issue came up. I will definitely be back!

He is always attentive to eye health and has greatly helped us with our youngest's sight issues. Not only is Dr Choi great but so is his office staff. We never have to wait more than 10 minutes, it's a well oiled machine. David is incredibly efficient and knowledgeable. Their selection of frames is vast and they do turn around lens in store-- which is so convenient. Their pricing is on par and they work with insurance. We truly can't recommend this office more! If you're thinking about going, just book the appointment, you won't be sorry.

    여기 안경 오더하면 오래 걸리고 남자직원들 불친절해요. 자기들 끼리 가까운 관계 같았어요. 직원 편만…read more들어요. Give me the mic please... I used to make the drive here even after I moved because I've been going to Dr Yoon for almost two decades now & love her. However, along with recent incidents due to some change in management, my trip today was really appalling. Let's start with January when I scheduled my annual exam, I came in & noticed the place looked really disorganized & saw some new employees. This man asked me how he could help & I let him know that I had an appointment. He proceeded to tell me that I was early for my annual exam since I was just here 6 months ago in May. I had never had an issue of booking my appointments before the one year mark & was wondering why I wasn't given a phone call then before I came in if this was a problem. I let him that it's been 8 months technically & if it was a problem and he proceeded to say no. Then along with looking disorganized & the busiest I've ever seen them, I noticed a different optometrist then Dr Yoon & asked if she retired & was told she had semi-retired & only came twice a week so I asked to reschedule based off of everything. I saw another lady write in a calendar book my new appointment for March. I showed up for my appointment in March & made the drive again to get told they don't see my appointment. Don't know how that happened because I saw her write it in their calendar on that day the time slot I was coming. Dr Yoon graciously still saw me & along with contacts I ordered some new glasses. Typically my glasses & contacts come within 2 weeks.. max 3 & I usually get a call when it's ready & I get told if only one is ready & given the option to wait til both are ready. They have this new generic texting system where it said my glasses and/or contacts are ready & so my bad.. I get it says "or" but you would think that if only one was ready, they'd let me know. So I leave work early today to go pick them up, just to be told only my glasses are ready. The same guy from the January visit shows me my glasses... & I'm not quite sure they're mine because they look different from what I remember. These today had this distinct mark at the ends that are pretty noticeable that I don't recall seeing the last time. When I mention me not being sure this is what I ordered, he proceeds to do this condescending laugh saying it is what I ordered. Not sure what was so funny but I didn't say anything the first time but as we are still discussing this manner, he proceeded to laugh again & so I had to ask "what is so funny about this situation right now?" That's when a younger girl who worked there stepped in & was very professional, sweet & tried to make the matter right. While she was working with me, he tried to jump into our convo & to be frank, I told him I didn't want to talk to him. Normally in a situation like this, you would think as an employee, he would give me my space but he proceeded to say to me "I don't want to talk to you either". I wish I was making this up. Then when I proceeded to make a comment about his laugh being unnecessary in this situation, he said "should I have cried then?" in Korean. That comment is not only incredibly inappropriate & rude but it does acknowledge that he indeed was laughing. I was in shock that this is how a business talks to their customers & so I had to say my piece to him about how he was talking to me. I ended up talking to the new manager because Dr Yoon wasn't there but it seems like these two guys are friends because he didn't even care to hear everything about what happened & was abrupt with basically saying "there's no way we could have gotten your glasses mixed up. You could have just read his laugh the wrong way. How do you want us to fix the glasses? Do you want to just replace them" along with the most half-*ssed apology. I even told him that last time I came I heard another lady say that her glass order was wrong and he said it could be her not remembering due to her old age & it was me not remembering maybe due to it being almost a month ago. Like holy cow...so long story long.. i knew there was no point in getting into it with this guy about my feedback expecting anything to change. I ended up just talking to the younger girl again & my hands were even shaking when I was writing my address down because I was in such shock & had so much anger over what happened. She was sweet enough to offer to personally deliver my contacts but I declined since I know it's a long drive for her. I kept the glasses because I don't want to deal with this place any longer & feel very uncomfortable with that man. I planned on still coming here until Dr Yoon retired but I won't be back. Please please STAY FAR AWAY from this place..

    Took me exactly 5 weeks to get my glasses done and I had to call every other day for 3 weeks just…read moreso I can get an update. I was told they'd be ready in 2 weeks. They didn't call me when my glasses were ready, I had to call and find out they were ready for pickup. I've been wearing glasses for 20 yrs and never did I have to wait 5 whole weeks to get my glasses. Very disappointing.

    I had a very unusual experience at this office…read more After calling several highly rated optometry offices in the area, I couldn't find anyone who could accommodate two walk-in appointments for my children. This office was able to see both of them immediately, so I decided to give it a try. The office was empty when we arrived, and both the front desk staff and the optometrist were very kind. We were told that my daughter was slightly farsighted and my son was slightly nearsighted, so we picked out frames for both children. When it came time to pay, I was told my daughter's glasses would be $250 ($150 for frames and $100 for lenses) and a similar amount for my son, but would give me discount so it was $460 total. I was then instructed to pay $460 upfront and was told I should receive a reimbursement check from VSP in about four weeks. This process felt unusual to me, but I paid and left. Later, my husband asked me to obtain copies of the prescriptions in case we wanted sports glasses for our son. When I called the office, I was told they do not provide prescriptions. Instead, they offered to refund $50 per child so I could take them elsewhere for an eye exam and prescription, while still purchasing the glasses through their office. I asked multiple times why they could not provide the prescriptions and never received a clear explanation beyond being told that they simply could not. Since I didn't want to take my children to a second office just to obtain prescriptions, I requested a full refund. To their credit, they were very polite throughout the entire process and promptly canceled the $460 charge without any argument. However, I left confused about why prescriptions were unavailable after the eye exams and uncomfortable with the overall experience. While everyone was friendly, something about the process did not feel right to me. That was my experience, and I hope it helps other parents make an informed decision.
