I was impressed they fit me in the next morning after describing that my right eye was experiencing frequent larger floaters & a strobing had started that morning. It is comforting when medical/dental recognize urgent symptoms & respond quickly. Everyone was friendly & answered my questions. I ask a lot of questions. Highly recommend. I will be using them in the future. read more

I love this eye doctor. They are very reliable and the staff is very friendly. I get both contact lens and glasses prescriptions here. ​

The staff and doctor are attentive, responsive and very thorough with the care they provide. I was out of town with a potential emergency and they followed up, communicated with me after hours and got me an appointment quickly. Dr. Dan was very thorough and assuring in his exam, diagnosis and follow up. read more

The team consists of highly efficient, amiable, and knowledgeable professionals committed to delivering exceptional support. The large building presents some navigational challenges. read more

It was a quick process just really slow to receive kid frames they said 1-2 months. We're accomandating to my child's needs

Dr. Dan seems really good at his job & such an incredibly nice guy. The place is very welcoming.

Dr Wilber Susilate is an amazing person who we have been going to for years very kind and caring not out to grab your pocket book. love their kind staff too read more

Best Opthamology in Rainier Valley! This has been my eye clinic for several years. The manager and opthamologist are the best!

They are an amazing team and treat all clients respectfully. I have had this Dr. for years and years. The same professionalism he extends of himself.... he expects of his team. Thank you read more

Courteous, neat, punctual. Very thorough exam and well explained, the staff gave me my prescription options and insurance benefit info without being pushy. A very good experience. read more

Dr. Dan is the best! So are all the staff at RVO. Each time I've had an urgent eye concern, they have been able to get me in quickly. Dr. Dan explains things clearly and is patient with all of my questions. He never seems rushed and I feel heard and well taken care of. Our whole family goes there and loves it as well. Highly recommend! read more

A great first experience with this clinic. The doctor and the staff are amazing, and the clinic itself is presentable and neat. Only thing that held me back from giving a 5 star is the price for eyewear...but other than that, I highly recommend this place. read more

The front desk staff and the assistants were so kind and professional. The doctor who saw me was also very kind and he showed care for me as a patient. read more

Got through my eye exam super quick, the doctor was really friendly and nice. She informed me about my eye health and what to expect later in life. Staff was very helpful in finding me frames I liked. read more

Wonderful experience overall! The entire staff is incredible, and I feel that my family and I are getting the best care!

I waited an additional 30 minute after my appointment time. Seems like they double book or always go overtime.

I hadn't had an eye exam in ten years and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The only comment is to leave extra time to park or maybe park on the street - that's what I did. I actually look forward to my next eye exam! I won't miss them again! read more

Great service -- flexible appointments, good communication, thorough exams. Definitely recommend.

I'm so impressed with how culturally competent this place is. Took my parents here and the Vietnamese speaking receptionist/vision assistant (i.e. took eye pressure) was helpful and kind to my parents. Dr. Salamanca was really patient and thorough in answering my questions. Oh yeah the pamphlets come in Vietnamese too! And you can do your vision test in numbers instead of letters. Other things to note: - The inside is actually more spacious and modern than it looks from the outside. - It's right by the light rail and bus lines - They're open most Saturdays Looking forward to visiting here again. read more

Great spot with very knowledgable Staff. Doctor was very nice and everyone was professional and explained everything very well. read more

Going to make all my observations here so Yelpers can make up their own mind about this business. There's a fancy chandelier over the cash register when you walk in. Before the eye exam, the person checking me in took me over to the frames and started telling me about prices and options. A cheap plastic frame was $400. I asked what if I don't need a new frames since the doctor hadn't done the test yet, but the salesperson ignored my comment and told me to choose a frame anyways. They also lock up the frames so you need a salesperson to help you put on a pair of frames and try them out. Never had that in any optical store where you need to unlock the frame with a key to actually try them on (demonstrating their hight value of their merchandise) Definitely felt like being in a fancy used car sales lot with lots of sales people around. If you want value for money, go to Costo. If you want fancy lighting and a luxury experience this is the place to go to. I only got my exam there and got out of there as fast as I could before being sold any expensive frame and lenses. read more

This place has really good service and helps great with my check up every time I go there. This place is one of the best service I've ever seen and they give you glasses to choose instead of giving you random ones. Thank you. read more

First place two higher price And I will not recommend anybody going to this place unless you have money. You have to have money to buy glasses. Close to $700 for 1 set of glasses. Forget that. And the service sucks when you wanna leave. They wouldn't let me leave. I told them to let me out. I was done I refused to rest the service. read more

I always have a great experience with my eye exams here! The staff is friendly and helpful, and the ophthalmologist I see is awesome! Highly recommend! read more

Bad experience with doctor here! My Rx for contact lense was 2 week's replacement and he changed it to 1month replacement without tell me. While supplies from Costco still alots, I never checked after 1 year I need to buy new contact lens again. Now all I have to do is do a new eye exam????!!!! And My Rx still valid til end of this Dec 2020. To everyone, please following yr usual brand and routine, and re check the Rx before leaving. Wasting money here!!!! read more

This place is awesome. I've gone there for years. I moved out of the area recently, was having eye issues, and they transferred records quickly so my problems could be taken care of. It's this kind of thing, when people are fair and honest that means a lot to me. And generally, I can tell you from the years of being their patient that the office is top notch. The staff is knowledgeable and efficient. Dr. Wilbur was very attentive and clearly very good at what he does. Also, he explained my options carefully. Also, Fawzidah is the office manager and she's very attentive, professional and personable read more

I am very happy with my overall experience. The team was very professional and friendly. Dr. Dan took his time to make sure my service was held to a high standard by ensuring my contact fit was perfect and was approachable/friendly. Overall they have a great communication system, and felt like I was a priority. Thank you! read more

Incredible experience. Fawzidah, Dan and the whole team make going to the doctor a soothing, caring experience. Great frame selection and super helpful staff. read more

Staffs are great! I like going to a place and the workers already know you. Been going there for 11 plus years, even have my daughter get her eyes checked there. Friendly place to go they will go above and beyond to help! read more

Front office staff is overworked and stressed out. Tammy is aggressive and very matter of fact in her attitude. When trying to make appointments they stress that my state insurance is allowed but talk to me like I'm a charity case. The front desk is rushed and rude and when speaking to Tammy who is the office manager she yelled at me and talked over me while I was trying to talk. She is very rude and I recommend not using this place unless you liked to be yelledbat and talked to rudely. I can't believe this place is still in business with this aggressive staff read more

08/10/16 Good service, knowledgeable staff and optemetrist. Came here for two reasons: close to the crib and takes my insurance. Dr. Susilasate is very thorough and explains the results of my eye exams and is great with young kids. He is very attentive and took his time with my eye exam. I was being my usual self and was asking all sorts of random questions, but he answered everything very thoroughly. read more

See all

Took my son here for his first pair of glasses! (*tear) From start to finish, the staff we interacted with were friendly and extremely helpful. The lady who assisted in picking frames for my son was great! (wish I could remember her name) She was honest and we appreciated that! The selection they have for frames are pretty good. You can get luxury frames if you want or stick to something more budget friendly. Another plus to this clinic is the location! It's located within King Plaza which has pretty much everything you could need: restaurants, grocery store, pharmacy, dry cleaners, etc. You can get new glasses, do your laundry, pick a prescription and then buy some bubble tea all at the same place. LOL read more

My go-to. My siater, mom, and I go here. The staff is wonderful, the doctors are always nice, and I'm always assured they treat me with compassion and professionalism. Would recommend to everyone in South end. Weekend hours are convenient for me too. read more

I called to make an appointment for eye exam and glasses because it's close to house. They said they would charge $25 if I brought my own frame. No thanks. I made an appointment with the clinic I usually go to without paying that rediculous fee. read more

Dr Dan is the best! He and his staff are total professionals, friendly and a joy to be around!

Was my second visit and am totally satisfied with Dr Salamanca and his team, had my regular diabetic retinopathy evaluation, Dr Salamanca answered my queries, gave pamphlet and disposable antiglare eyewear!!! very professional and courteous and on time, staff even took the trouble of escorting me out and down as i was hard of walking and using trekking poles. Highly recommend!!!Dr Salamanca, the best!!!! read more

I've worn glasses for 30+ years so I've been to tons of eye clinics on both coasts (I grew up in NY) and this is one of the best. The staff is friendly, accommodating and patient. The eye doc really takes his time with you and thorough with his exam. Unlike other places they do not make you feel like you got a money sign on your head. I tried on at least a dozen frames before deciding just to use my own pair which I bought a year ago at a different place. Instead of giving me a bazillion reasons on why it was a terrible idea and pushing me to buy their own frames they just said "sure". Bonus: They have hours on saturdays. read more

Rainier Valley Optometric - Went for an eye exam and they had a dragon dance for new years and free cookies! Need I say more?!? Best eye clinic appointment ever! - Optometrists Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Rainier Valley used to be good. They have gotten rude over the years and also have started price gouging. My last time around their initial estimate was an over-charge for the glasses and I had to argue to show what my insurance covered. This time round - the first thing the receptionist said was that "I am late" when I came in within 2 minutes and I was then made to wait. The saving grace is the doctor himself is good. They also charge you a $25 personal framing fees which the insurance doesn't allow. Overall an establishment that has gotten greedy over the years! read more

I spent a day going to many places looking for new glasses. This was the first place I went. After visiting 6 other stores, I came back here and ordered a pair. The glasses were very high quality and Josiah treated me very well. read more

Would not recommend. They prescribed glasses but it turns out I actually don't need them. I trusted the doctor and got the prescription and when the glasses came I could not see with them. I went back and they did another consultation and made the prescription as small as possible but I still see better without the glasses. They said the glasses were more to help my eyes relax and they refused to refund me. Don't go here, they are just trying to make money. read more
