That is the only cloud in this very blue sky - having to wait another 3 weeks before being able to do this part of the exam and finalize my contact lenses prescription. I received my glasses prescription by email. I don't know if I love that or hate that I was not offered to have glasses done.

Took her about 5 minutes to do a beautiful job of replacing the nose piece. Had me try my glasses on to make sure it sat well. She was also very friendly, and told me she waived the fee.

I recently visited an ophthalmologist with the hope that he'd help me resolve the issue. Long story short, he did not. Not even close. I explained my symptoms to Dr. Wong during my annual eye exam. She examined both of my eyes closely based on my comments and diagnosed the issue pretty quickly. I am so thankful that she gave my poor painful eye the attention it needed. I also really appreciated all the covid-19 precautions everyone in the office took. They went above and beyond to make it clear that all equipment had been cleaned before I used it, to wash their hands frequently, etc. A+.

In my experience, having almost 40 years of being monitored for genetically & age-related macular…read moredegeneration and changes in vision, eg. cataracts, floaters, dry eye, astigmatism, etc., Dr. Ensor is among a very few vision care professionals, who can provide the highest level of general & senior vision health care in the Bay Area. Several years ago I located his practice after retirement, when I no longer had VSP coverage, and my vision care provider at the time, a major UC affiliated clinical practice, which was current with Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) refused senior medicare insurance. Dr. Ensor is among a very small number in the bay area, who is well versed and equipped in monitoring and in available treatment options for AMD, being on call 24/7 for emergencies in vision changes, and his office accepts medicare and other related senior insurance plans. But, more importantly he and his entire staff are sincere, empathic, and provide the highest level of patient-based care. My wife is now one of his new patients. We both appreciate how Dr. Ensor, his associates, & office staff are so pleasant, respectful & understanding of all of the challenges that patients deal with & present!

He is so kind and makes sure you are comfortable and doesn't make you feel like you're giving a "wrong answer" during the eye exam. He also doesn't have the "poof" machine where the air blows in your eye!!!! He uses an updated test that is even more accurate than that torture test haha!!! He also doesn't have to dilate your eyes because he has a new and updated way to do the same thing without dilating your eyes! So you can go about your day after your exam without wearing those sexy thick blacked out glasses or the slide in screen things lol. The staff is great too and really helped me find a super cute pair of RayBans! Thank you Dr. Ensor for always taking care of us! You are definitely the BEST!

This review is more of an expression of gratitude for the exceptional care that Dr. Fleming and her…read morestaff have provided me since meeting them less than a year ago. To refer to Dr. Fleming, Jentry, and Julie as just my "optometrist's office" would be an understatement; they are amazing human beings, and Dr. Fleming is one of the best doctors I have ever encountered. When I was referred to Dr. Fleming during an eye emergency, she took me in the same day and performed a thorough exam to determine the issue. Thanks to her prescribed treatment, I felt relief almost instantly. I truly appreciate how she communicated with me throughout my recovery to ensure I was healing properly. Because she is so detailed and invested in her patients' well-being, she was able to discover other contributing factors to my eye health. She immediately became my primary optometrist, and I have since brought my family to her practice as well. I also want to highlight her staff, Jentry and Julie. They are incredibly kind, and their organization and communication skills are outstanding. The ability to reach the office via text or phone with immediate responses is the best! Furthermore, the online portal is user-friendly and makes completing forms seamless. I always feel welcomed in the office. Oh!! And the selection of eyewear is exquisite. So many niche brands that you just want to buy them all! And, because of her expertise in skin care and services provided in-office? Not only are my eyes better, but so is my skin!! Thank you again for everything you do!!

She also has treatments that no one else had offered. After the initial period of regular treatments, I experienced relief. Now, I have treatments every 6 months and I no longer have dry eye issues. Dr. Flemming and everyone in the office are always helpful. When I almost gave up on treatments (it does take a number of treatments) she would encourage me that the program will help. She is right.

The attention to my care is very reassuring and refreshing. My only ask is for them to carry more specific Asian fit glasses.

Grace at the front desk was so wonderful, very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. She really took the time to help me try on different frames, explained the styles and fits, and made the ordering process seamless. Their selection of frames is incredible. They carry high-end designers like Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Tom Ford, Jimmy Choo, Saint Laurent, and Ferragamo. I personally chose the Gucci GG1285O frames, a gold oversized geometric style with Gucci's signature green red green detail and the GG logo on the temples. They are elegant, unique, and I absolutely love them! Since getting my new frames, I have received some compliments from my patients and without hesitation I tell them where I got them! I have been happily referring Optometry by the Bay because the experience and selection are phenomenal! It is such a bonus to have this optometry office right here in the same building where I work. Dr. Respicio and his team are professional, welcoming, and genuinely care about their patients. If you are looking for excellent service, a great selection of luxury frames, and an office that really takes care of you, I highly recommend Optometry by the Bay!

Pros: I have been a patient of Dr. Garrett since I was…read moresixteen, back when the practice operated as Hercules Optometry, and I have always appreciated this location. Dr. Garrett remains exceptional, and his wife is equally impressive -- warm, knowledgeable, and consistently gracious. Their professionalism has been a longstanding reason my family continues to return. Cons: The administrative process during my recent visit, however, was perplexing. Upon arrival, we asked if our copays could be billed later, as we did not have them readily available. We were told this could not be determined until the diagnosis codes were entered for all three appointments -- something I found unusual, given my prior experience working at UC Berkeley School of Optometry, where this is not standard protocol. Still, I assumed their system functioned differently. What followed was even more confusing. I was the only one who had been seen when it was three of us total, yet she approached me with an immediate copay quote despite previously stating that diagnosis codes needed to be placed first after OUR appointments. I was then informed that my copay was not the usual $10, but $49 due to the retinal imaging machine, a fee that had not been disclosed beforehand. She proceeded to say, "I can have your daughter do the exam and waive the retina for her and it will be $10, OR we can pull her out of her appointment and just charge for two of you at $49." My daughter had already begun her exam, so the suggestion to remove her mid‑appointment felt inappropriate and unnecessarily disruptive. This is precisely why we asked about billing, had we known we could not be billed, we would have rescheduled for two weeks later. Ultimately, we were able to pay, but the lack of transparency made the experience feel unnecessarily convoluted. Rather than indirectly discouraging billing or withholding information until after the exam to access payment, clear communication upfront would have prevented the situation entirely. No one is opposed to paying for services, we simply expect honesty and straightforwardness before the exam begins. Also was told the "printer didn't work" and that our receipts would be emailed to me, it's 9:12pm and I have not received proof we paid for our exams! I also requested a copy of my prescription so I can go somewhere else. After coming here since I was 16 years old now 35 I will not be coming back, it's sad because these are great doctors but as long as the front desk staff is here not taking care of patients I'm never coming back here. This experience also illuminated what may be contributing to the notably high turnover within the front‑office staff.
