These two stars are only because I had a good eye exam experience with them, and it was a delight working with Dr. Jay. I think their rude manager and staff, and overall reluctance to help is their problem. I ordered a pair of prescription sunglasses from them about a month ago. At the time of ordering they told me that it would be ready in two weeks. I leave for a month-long trip out of the country in two days and that was the sole reason I ordered the glasses so far in advance. After multiple calls to enquire, all they keep giving me is answers like we can't do anything to expedite them, our hands are tied, our insurance dictates the lab, etc. I have been with the same insurance for 8 years so it's hard for me to see how my insurance suddenly has stopped working efficiently. They behaved as if I never mentioned my month-long trip ever. They are leaving me voicemails saying your glasses will be ready next Wednesday and the team will promptly call you. Well, my phone will be off and I won't be in the country next Wednesday. One of their rude employees even said "I know everyone would rather have their stuff expedited and have them before time", well after a month of waiting I feel I am hardly asking to "expedite" anything prematurely. The manager didn't even return my call back because I missed her first call and she left me a voicemail after that when I returned her call she wasn't available an di could never get hold of her. It's like they have just decided to not help customers out AT ALL. They are not ready to accept any blame or fix anything and talk to me as if I am at fault for their incompetence. After so many good reviews, I genuinely thought I had found a good optometry in my new community as I value local businesses so much but I am reluctant to do any transaction with them in the future. I know losing ONE customer might not affect businesses but I shouldn't have to beg for good customer service. I am highly saddened and disappointed as a customer to be working with businesses that have no heart, soul, or empathy.

Beware - they will try to charge you for the difference between what your insurance pays and what…read morethey charge, this is balance billing and is illegal. The manager strung me along for over 2 months telling me that my insurance paid the wrong amount for my daughter's contact lenses and unless I paid the difference ($800+) they wouldn't give them to me, even though they had received them. It wasn't until my insurance told her on a 3-way call with me that they must release the contact lenses per their contract, that they finally agreed to let me pick them up. We will not be returning to Poway Eyeworks again and others should be made aware of their unethical and illegal business practices. I waited a week to write this review thinking maybe they would call and apologize for their negligence. Considering how many conversations have been had over the last couple months that seems like the most reasonable thing to do in this situation, but nothing, which only further confirms it wasn't a mistake, but was intentional.

He did not try to sell me glasses I don't need or talk me into surgery I don't need. One opthamologist even tried to put a needle in my eyes and wasn't giving me anytime to even think about it so I walked out. Give Dr Bloomberg a try. You will be very happy you did.

About the eye exams only: My exam was supposed to be with Dr. Rhodes, but was with a different…read moredoctor. Pricey, and the doctor was on auto-pilot. He was masked, of course, and spoke quite softly. (Even the staff at the desk chuckled about this. I didn't). I asked him to speak more loudly, which he did for about 30 seconds then sunk back to inaudible. His accent made things even more difficult. In addition, he really was on auto-pilot, probably after having said similar things to hundred of previous patients. I think he might have said a number of important things about the eye exam, but I couldn't make out what he was saying. I figured I'd just read it in his report on the eye exam, but all I received was a printout of my prescription, nothing about the results of the exam. I would not go back there for an exam. Too much money, too little information.

During a prescription sunglasses fitting (and after I've paid ~$300), the logo piece of the side fell off - and this it's with gentle handling. The aid who was doing the firing saw it happen too.

One week later, I went to pick up the sunglasses only to find out that they sloppily super-glued the logo back on and that there was nothing else they can do about it. No exchange or refund. Straight scam for selling cheap glasses.

Only issue I have is the frames that are covered under the insurance is not the best quality. Even if I paid a little extra for something that suits my daughter's style better it will still come apart or break within the year. Last year, the side screws on the frames kept popping out. Luckily, I was able to take it back and switch out the frame easily. This year the whole arm snapped off while my daughter was cleaning her lens. Unfortunately, they no longer carry the same frame so I couldn't replace it. Insurance won't cover for another frame or eye exam at this time. My poor daughter is wearing super glued glasses for now. I work for an Ophthalmology/Optometry practice so I opted to go through work for an employee discount instead. I'll still use them to get a back up pair when it's time to go through the insurance.

My family and I were in and out much faster than expected, and our glasses arrived within two weeks, which was a nice surprise. The fitting process was smooth and stress-free, and they made sure everything was comfortable before we left. What really stood out was how well they treated my little one -- the woman helping her took the time to teach her how to use her new glasses, adjust them properly, and make sure she felt confident wearing them. That level of patience and care goes a long way. If I had to give a precise rating, I'd say the experience felt like a 4.7 star visit -- but since Yelp doesn't do decimals, I'm rounding up to a solid 5 stars. They truly earned it. Highly recommend!

I was immediately met by someone who was helping someone else but she made sure I was checked in and had all the paperwork first. At first look, the office looked organized, clean and had excellent lighting which is important. I was immediately brought back and an assistant went through all the pre procedure tests and then I was met by Dr. Duong and she was amazing. She quickly got to the exam and was very helpful in explaining the whole process and findings in a very clear manner. She was very attentive, personable and thorough. I highly recommend seeing her. Once the exam was finished, I took at a look at the frame section which included a lot of top brands including Nike, Gucci, Lacoste, ray ban and many more. The only negative thing would be that I was not really assisted in the process of choosing which frame or which frame may be good with my particular face structure. I was just advised to take a look around and let them know if I had questions. The staff did provide good feedback on the questions I asked but it would have been nice to have them assist a little more. Overall I would definitely recommend Excel and highly recommend Dr. Duong.
