River Oaks Family Optometry - Optometry device - Optometrists Near Me - San Jose, California

Adding one extra star out of respect for Dr. Chung. The review is for the process of ordering glasses for my child, a messed up experience from the get go. I ordered the glasses very fast, although I did have to point out that my child needs progressive lenses because the person taking my order missed that. Two weeks later I'm calling them back asking for updates regarding the glasses. They can't find my child's info saying that all they have is some records from 2 years ago. Finally, they were able to find my son's glasses prescription. They are now asking if he needs photochromatic lenses or not. Seriously? This is something we discussed during my initial visit to them 2 weeks ago (!). Two weeks later and we still haven't received his glasses and we are looking at another 1-2 weeks of processing time. 3-4 weeks to get glasses? If you are considering glasses for your child or yourself, please go somewhere else. read more

I had an extremely disappointing experience with this optometry office regarding my lens replacement. I specifically ordered premium lenses with the transition feature included. After waiting 2 weeks, I received glasses without the transition feature - a crucial component I really needed. When I called to address this issue, they initially offered to add the transition feature for free and had me drop off my glasses. However, 3 days later, they called back saying they couldn't honor their promise because my insurance had already been billed. Instead, they wanted to charge me an additional $120 for their mistake. The staff admitted that their representative had incorrectly processed my order by removing the transition lens feature from my premium package without my knowledge or consent. Despite acknowledging their error, they refused to take responsibility or cover the $120 cost to correct their mistake. In the end, I spent $124, waited for 3 weeks, and received downgraded lenses without the transition feature I specifically requested. This experience has been frustrating and time-wasting, and I'm disappointed by their poor customer service and unwillingness to rectify their acknowledged mistake. My friend recommended this place to me and this was my first time shopping here, and it will be the last time. My friend has also decided to shop somewhere else next year. read more

River Oaks Family Optometry - Optometrists Near Me - San Jose, California

OVERALL I recommend this office because they have great infection control practices for Covid. They asked that you wait in your car in the parking lot. Call their office when you arrive and they will call you back to let you know when it is safe to come into the office. They do this to limit the amount of people inside the office. They greet you at the door and have you sanitize your hands. They asked you to put your belongings in a Tupperware tub. If you try on glasses they ask you to put them aside in a tub for them to sanitize before returning them back to the shelf. DOCTORS I have met a couple of their doctors here, and they have all been friendly and very professional. Additionally the front desk staff are very efficient and you can tell they know what they are doing. They have a system in place that works. Whenever I order contacts they arrive very fast. I can either pick them up at their office or have them delivered to my house. No joke they arrived to my house in two days. They call you to remind you about your appointment. And they even called me because they had a cancellation and asked if I wanted to move my appointment sooner. read more

River Oaks Family Optometry - Inside - Optometrists Near Me - San Jose, California

They made it compulsory to have scans that are not covered by insurance as a condition for a routine prescription check or they will not give you an appointment. read more

I had my annual checkup with Dr. Debbie Fan. she spotted a thickened blood vessel inside one eye.Just to be safe, she referred me to a specialist to rule out glaucoma. She's Very professional， really patient, and truly cares about her patients. Highly recommend! read more

Friendly enough, professional. Helpful? No! I needed glasses. I still need a new pair of glasses. No offer to help. I even looked at several pairs and had set them aside. Checked me out and was like, "Bye!" I was like, "Bye!" read more

They require you (aka force) to do a retinal screening with the annual eye exam, which is ridiculous. I refused to get examined. read more

I went here for getting fitted for scleral lenses for my condition called keratoconus. I was called in several times for adjustments for almost a year and she still could not get the fit right. Horrible in terms of getting fitted for contact lenses, has no skills in that area whatsoever. Wasted my time, energy and insurance money for below average work. current people at the front desk are great though! read more

We brought my little one here to see Dr. Chung for a second opinion and she was extremely calm and patient. The previous Optometrist we went to rushed my little one and then became short tempered. In comparison Dr. Chung was a breath of fresh air and warm. Her demeanor is very calming which soothed my little one. He happily came and said this doctor is nice and she has these toys on her fingers during the exam and she wasn't being mean. They also do a retina scan here so that helps. The office is very spacious and her front staff is very sweet even during this Covid-mask time. Everyone was kind and accommodating considering little ones can hardly keep their hands to themselves with all the mirrors and stuff to try on. The lady who was helping us calmly would say just put the frames you touch/try on in the dish so we can sanitize rather than flipping out. I definitely would recommend Dr. Chung hands down and now I'm going to sign myself up with her for my next eye exam! read more

I have been coming to River Oaks Family Optometry for a few years now. Their handling of the pandemic has been great. I feel extremely safe coming to the office as my temperature is checked, I am given hand sanitizer, and masks are mandatory. Since the pandemic started I've been to the office about 3 times for my exam, to pick up glasses, and have the glasses fitted better to my face. Dr. Lam continues to be professional and is outfitted with all the PPE so I felt safe interacting with her as well. I've noticed that there aren't a ton of people waiting inside so it is easy to socially distance and that all surfaces are clean. They also set the glasses that you've tried on aside for cleaning for the next patient! Thanks for the great work! read more

Our first and only spot for our eye exam and spectacles since we moved to the Bay Area! We just came here for our second time. Personally, it's always kind of intimidating to find a new optometry office, but both times here has been nothing short of amazing. Optometrists and the receptionists here are always super nice and friendly and takes time to explain everything (insurance plan, eye exam results, etc.) My husband lost his nose pads a few months ago and a quick call got him in right away for some replacements/glasses readjustment. He just received his second pair of glasses here today (was told the wait would be approx. 3 weeks but got it in exactly 1 week!) They are very safe and careful with their covid measures. We need to call once we arrive and they'll prompt us to come in as soon as they're ready. We highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for an optometry. read more

I've been suffering from dry eyes due to clogged oil glands for the past 4 months and have tried many treatments. I came to River Oaks Family Optometry twice and each time their COVID safety protocols are top notch. Dr. Elaine Chung helps explain everything in a caring, calm and compassionate manner and her staff is very well trained. I would highly recommend her practice for Lipiflow, which is a treatment that helps unclog your oil glands. There was soothing music during the treatment and every little detail was taken care of. I already feel relief from my dry eyes!! read more

The staff here is respectful, professional, and friendly. I've only had good experiences with communication and the office staff. Dr. Fan is so nice and takes the time to explain everything to her patients. Highly recommend this optometry practice. read more

I've been going here for years. The staff and the doctors are incredibly polite. The doctors have a very calm demeanor. I've been getting my eye exams, contacts and glasses done here for years and never had any issues. The quality of service is amazing. The billing and insurance piece is smooth and hassle free. If they ever do make a billing mistake (happened only once in many years), they fix it promptly. I just called them and they corrected the error and I got a refund. They're also maintaining excellent hygiene during the pandemic and I was comfortable with the degree of cleanliness and the hygiene standards I saw there when I went there recently (during the pandemic). I have no complaints and I'm a very happy customer. read more

Saw it had good reviews and tried to go there for ordering glasses. I had specifically told I will look at the collections first and then will fill out a detailed profile. I had the prescription already. When I went there the door was blocked and we were given a form fill standing outside. I understand the health concerns but that's not how I want to be treated as a customer. Why should I give so much of my personal information just for looking at the glasses first? Even if it is required, they should have a hallway where we can sit and fill the form?? read more

I have been going to Dr Chung for 7years, they always provide the best service out of all the places that i have been, they are all so friendly and helpful. They always make me feel like i m on first class service. During the covid19 time, they are very careful to protect us and themselves, they only allow 2 customers in at a time to control number of people in store, they check everyone temperature before let them enter , and Dr is wear face shave and N95, so i feel safe to be close distance with my check up, They also cleaned everything after each use. I feel very comfortable visiting there during this time. read more

I went here purely based on yelp reviews and I am not disappointed! I made an appointment with Dr. Chung. I got a call 24 hours before the appointment for confirmation. They charge $50 if you cancel appointment within 24 hours, so be careful about that. I reached on time and did not have to wait much after I filled out the form for new patient. Dr. Chung is very personable. She answered all my questions and also walked me through the entire process and made me very comfortable and well-informed about my eyes health. I got a new Rayban frame and also for new lenses done, very satisfied with both. I will be back every year for my regular check ups read more

My family have been going to Dr Chung since 2015. Even after I moved out of river oaks :) The staff and doctor are very patient and polite. I like the process they set up for covid precaution. They only allow one customer at a time, so I will wait outside while my wife was seeing the doctor. I think this is great, it reduces the risk of spreading the gems if there's any. Before I started the exam, the staff explained to me what's covered by my insurance and what not. This is very helpful too. I saw the doctor and staff will clean up everything after my exam and consultation, I feel safe :) read more

My new favorite optometrist!!! Dr. Chung is amazing!!! I love how patient she was with the exam and explaining to me the pictures of my eye etc. the receptionists were also accommodating and patient when I was picking out my glasses. Overall, very professional office and love the staff! read more

Soon I just moved to the area. First timer for glasses here. Great experience Dr. Fan was great with getting my eyes checked for prescription, health front and back of your eyes. Dr. Fan explained to me what was being done before it was being so it helped a lot (it being my first time and all) during the process. Jaz helped me pick out glasses while my eye scans came back. Dr Fan was quick with the prescription so i picked out my glasses, style, and color way. Thank you. I'm waiting to get them wish I could show a photo, but it's about the experience. Thank you staff. Yes check in they make you call you before you before you go in, but they have a system in place. Once you go through the process you'll get it. It works. read more

I came here for a contact lens exam and fitting. When I was told my lenses would cost almost $1000 for a years supply of daily lenses, I told them I wouldn't be ordering contact lenses from them and just wanted my prescription. Went to costco and got a 3 months supply for $170 (which means $680 for a years supply). They overcharge like crazy. And they placed a hold on my insurance so I had to pay out of pocket and file a claim with my insurance for reimbursement. Very frustrating that they placed the hold even though I told them I would not be ordering contacts. Thanks for overcharging and for the inconvenience. They've lost my business. read more

Everytime I come here, I feel that they have always taken COVID restrictions seriously. What a way to take care of the patients, the staff, and the community. River Oaks Optometry is always clean, timely, and professional. I love coming to this practice and will keep coming for as long as we're in the area. read more

I was traveling to San Jose last week with a final destination being Yosemite where I was going to embark on a 13 hour day hike to the top of the Half Dome. On a plane I realized that I have forgotten my contact lenses at home and hiking for that long in glasses would have been quite uncomfortable. I stopped by River Oaks and Amanda at the front desk was very understanding and accommodating to my situation. She helped with my request on a such a short timeline which I greatly appreciated. I went to successfully complete the hike the next day in the comfort of wearing contact lenses. Thank you again for your help, Amanda! read more

Absolutely unprofessional folks here. I was given an appointment for 2pm and over the phone they were trying to show as if this place is completely booked with no room for appointments. I showed up for my appointment right on time and waited for over an hour for doctor to get free on a regular weekday afternoon with only two patients in clinic including myself. Ask patients to come at a time you are free. The front desk staff has no duty to inform you about delays or anything but are trying to sell you their services or products. This place is a complete rip off and making business out of patients. Secondly, they are doing some shabby work with eye testing. You can totally feel it. Seems like all good reviews belongs to the business itself. Be careful while visiting this place. I would definitely not recommend this place. No professionalism whatsoever!! read more

Staff, location and doctor is good. Eye exam feels satisfactory. This is my 4th year visiting this place. Every year annual checkup was covered by insurance but this time they renamed few tests called iwellness or something and charged for that as insurance doesn't cover that. Basically all tests were same as previous 3 years but this time I had to pay for some fancy name. read more

Wonderful Team to get eye examed and lens made!strong recommended!

Long over due review here, I guess I need to stop being selfish and share my favorite Optometrist with the world. Dr. Elaine Chung is simply amazing. I've been going to her for my vision care for quite a few years. What I really like about her is that she's friendly, caring, very attentive & thorough with her eye exams. Also she's very patient, taking her time to explain any conditions or pictures of your retina etc and answer any questions you may have to put you at ease. I was actually going to a different optometry office and Dr. Chung was one of a few Optometrists I see there. She was my favorite though bcoz of the reasons above. One year when I tried to make an appointment and found out she no longer works there, I google her to see where she went and followed her to this new office. haha. So glad I did, when you find a good doctor, don't let them escape! I recommended her to a colleague of mine and he had only good things to say about her and now he's a patient of hers as well. read more

Got a thorough eye and retinal exam from a friendly and caring Dr.Chung. She has a wonderful team with friendly support staff who take extreme precautions in covid with sanitization and precleaning equipments. Would go back again. read more

Prepandemic this was my go to place. I get the concern but you still have all of the original Covid restriction signage and have your doors blocked. You guys need to get back to normal. I work in healthcare, if you want a mask wear one but stop the barriers to your office. I walked out because I was being micro managed trying to look for frames a few months ago. Your COVID-19 signage is expired and no longer the standard Santa Clara Valley restriction. read more

Dr. Chung was so great with my 3 year old child! She adapted the exam to meet my little one's needs and was patient, approachable, and explained everything clearly to me. The office is clean and very professional. Highly recommend! read more

I have found my new optometry office! So happy to see they are taking careful pandemic precautions to keep patients safe. My appointment was scheduled easily and they called me to let me know they had a cancellation so I could be seen sooner. The staff is so friendly and professional, clearly communicating every step of the process. Dr. Fan was so knowledgable about plaquenil, dry eyes, and sjogrens and took the time to go over all of my images thoroughly and answered all my questions. When it came time to pick out my glasses, Jazzy (sp?) helped me find a beautiful frame at a great price. Thank you all so much!! read more

I had a little emergency with some new Ray Bans I recently bought, one of the little screws fell and one of my lenses was falling. I was going to take them to the optometrist that sold them to me but out of curiosity I stopped by here in case they could help me. They actually helped me! They were really nice about it and didn't charge me at all! I'll probably come here next time I need an optometrist read more

For my 9am appointment, everything went very smoothly and fast! Dr. Fan and all the staffs were friendly and amazing! Dr.Fan explained to me about my eye health and contacts that I should try, and gave me a few samples to take home! Staffs were very informative and went over my insurance benefits in detail. So glad to have this office located very conveniently to my apartment :) read more

This office has super friendly and helpful staff. I dropped by two years after I purchased my eye glasses from them for a repair without an appointment. Not only did they quickly fix the problems but also repaired another pair of glasses I had purchased somewhere else! Thanks a bunch. read more

Dr Chung is very patient and does a through examination of the eye. I have been her patient for two years now and I am very satisfied with my experience. read more

Dr. Chung was calm and thorough with my eye examination. The staff is also quite friendly and knowledgeable.

Not recommend for adult glasses. Paid around $300 even with insurance but the frame is soooo bad that keep falling off my face! Went back to adjust the frame but somehow they just can't get it right... horrible quality with such high price!! Be aware! read more

I went to see Dr. Chung for my first appointment today. Briefly: Amazing office, very attentive doctor (Dr Chung listens and answers questions thoroughly, you are not a number! you will be treated like a human being), and no pressure on glasses or contact sales. I am old enough to have seen my share of optometrists in my life, and Dr Chung is one of my favourite yet. First impressions entering the office is the beautifully designed and spacious space which is certainly not typical, optometry offices are often crowded by glasses and when they are nicely designed the space is still often tiny. The receptionist was warm and very courteous. With tDr, Chung my appointment was a regular exam, it went fast but it was not rushed at all. Dr. Chung explained a detailed imagery of my eye, after going through the exam she thoughtfully provided her diagnosis and answered all my questions throughout the appointment considering every little comment I had (honestly I can be annoying with my questions because I am very curious about my own health). I highly recommend Dr. Chung's office. And by the way the office seems extremely family friendly. read more
