Dr Keener is the best doctor one could wish for. he is very professional, he treats his patients with respect, and he always explains his decisions without being belittling or condescending. His stuff is also very professional and friendly, always helpful with schedule and reminders. read more

I don't write reviews in a regular basis, but I totally felt Dr. Keener deserved it! Very close, friendly and focused on your best interests. I was given a lot more information about my sight and my insurance options than I expected. Roderick not only cared deeply about my visual health but also about what was more economically efficient in my case. He loves to proudly talk about his family, which I personally find charming :) I'm definitely coming back here every time I need it, now that I live in Walnut Creek, and so is the rest of my family! Thank you also for finding some time for me in the same day without having an appointment... I'll fix it next time haha! read more

Great service with very friendly, patient, and helpful staff. Will definitely book my first appointment with Dr. Keener.

Never had an in depth eye exam. Very happy I went with Keener Vision. A little on the pricier side, but you get an unrushed, positive, and engaging session with a doctor that has been doing this forever. Very family oriented and very friendly. Dr. Keener was efficient and knowledgeable- in n out in less than an hour. Decent selection of glasses, and promo $110 for lens and frames. They don't try to up sell you like lens crafters and are honest. Also, just be warned. The support staff are a bit sarcastic. Dry sarcasm will be found here. I like it, because I can dish it back, but if you can't ... just let them know lol. read more

Roderick J Keener, OD - From the street - Optometrists Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Dr. Keener is one of the best doctors! He is professional and like to talk about his family. The perscription I received is the best I've had my whole life. It was perfect. That is after 20 years of crummy ones, what a positive difference. His assistantants are awesome and he has a good supply of glasses. He and his staff are an institution! read more

Coming to you live from Arizona! I have been a patient of Dr. Keener's since before I even realized what eyesight was! From the time I was a little baby to now in my adult years, Dr. Keener has kept my eyesight crisp and clean. When I was about 16, I started having some problems in math class. Turns out that when the chalkboard is blurry, it's kind of hard to do the equation. I was dreading my eye exam since I knew what the inevitable news would be. But, Dr. Keener made it all right! Yes, I ended up needing contacts, but Dr. Keener walked me through the contact process step by step starting with getting my eyes adjusted to sticking something in them, to keeping them infection-free once I did. While contacts aren't necessarily the most fun thing in the world, it's much better than walking around blind, so I have Dr. Keener to thank for keeping my eyes healthy! Oh and I also owe him a thank you for my math grad going back up once I could see the board! I typically don't wear glasses. OK, I never wear glasses, but it's nice to have a pair on-hand. Luckily for me, Dr. Keener has a wide range of glasses in-house, so I can get sized and glasses ordered all in one trip. So how much do I enjoy going to Dr. Keener's? Well, I've lived in Arizona now since 2001 and my eye doctor still resides in California. Yes, I know eventually I will need to move over to a desert doctor, but until I'm forced to, I will continue to call up Dr. Keener's office. I have my annual eye exam and throughout the year, they keep my AZ shelves stocked with contacts. Dr. Keener is a wonderful doctor not just for me but for my parents as well! read more

I went in to Dr Keener after having problems getting the right prescription for my glasses for many years. I'd had multiple exams from another provider but my view afterward using their prescriptions were never perfectly clear as expected. Dr. Keener came highly recommended and I finally made the appointment. Dr. Keener performed a thorough examination, and I kept my fingers crossed as I waited for for the glasses I ordered through Costco. Tried them on and was SO pleased. Perfection! He made a small change from my last prescription but it was exactly what was needed for me to have perfect crisp vision. He is the best, highly recommend! read more

I've been going to Dr. Keener for years. I think ever since I started wearing glasses, actually. He's wonderful and the ladies in the office are GREAT! I really love Dr. Keener's honesty. He won't try to sell you something you don't need. I also really like how he explains everything. I learn so much every time I go for an exam. Thanks, everyone! read more

Dr. Keener is adorable, the ladies are very nice, but unless you're covered for eyewear, you're better off going to Costco or Lenscrafters, price-wise. Dr. Keener does LASIK too and will give you an HONEST evaluation of whether you're ready for surgery or should wait a few years. read more

I absolutely will drive 35 miles to get to Dr. keeners office because he's the best optometrist in the area! And his staff is phenomenal so nice and sweet and pleasant. So like I said I rather travel 35 miles out of my way to be treated like gold thank you Dr. Keener and all your staff have lunch on me sincerely Deborah Fisher-Mathewson read more

Dr. Keener talks a good story, but he is unprofessional and thinks he can't make a mistake. I went to him a few times but have switched to Costco which is much cheaper and they do a great job. Why pay more when you can get great service for a lot less. read more

I've been going to Dr. Keener since I was 22 years old and I am now 40. I have had vision problems and been wearing glasses since I was 5 years old. Dr. Keener was the first optometrist I have been to that could accurately diagnose my condition which is amblyopia. He is by far the best and has always given me and my family outstanding care. He is kind and caring and always listens to me and explains in detail to answer my questions. I don't have insurance and pay out of pocket. His fees are very reasonable. I will never go anywhere else. read more

I was away from home visiting my parents in Walnut Creek and in a bind, out of contacts. They helped me out without a fuss, were super kind and generous. read more

My partner and I have been patients of Dr. Keener for at least 4 years! Upon first glance, his office is a little dated but do not be deterred! Dr. Keener is a fantastic eye doctor! His examinations are very, very thorough and very interactive. He takes the time to answer all of your questions to the point where you're comfortable with what he's telling you. I highly recommend Dr. Keener! I know that we will continue to use Dr. Keener for as long as he'll have us as patients! read more

My previous post was misunderstood. Dr Keener co-managed with PLEC in 1999. The surgery was done by the MD @ PLEC and Dr Keener did all of my post op care. I had LASIK on Dr Keener's recommendation, he DID NOT perform the surgery. I hope that makes things clear to those that misunderstood. read more

We've been going to Dr. Keener for about 10 years now. He is a great doctor, very nice and actually takes time to chat with you and thoroughly answer any questions. He is the only doctor left I think that doesn't rush you out the door during your exam! read more

Dr. Keener is the best of the best. He has been my doctor for 30+ years. He and his staff are all very knowledgeable, thorough and precise which is what we all need in the people entrusted with our precious eye sight. Dr. keener was also a professor at UC Berkeley school of Optometry so you know you are in good hands. He has even referred a patient with an unusual vision issue to later discover it was a brain tumor far before it would have been diagnosed otherwise. read more

Dr. Keener is the best. He's been my eye doctor for about 10 years, and I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. His staff is also wonderful, and everyone is always very friendly and eager to help. read more

I do not personally see Dr. Keener but my boyfriend does and I go with. The lady at the front counter seemed very sweet even though it was a saturday morning and she was at work. We were not there long and it was even a first appointment visit! I was the one to call and make the appointment and the women I spoke with made it very easy and got him in asap Great experience :) read more

My coworker and I decided we needed to quit putting off eye exams, and ended up at Dr. Keener's. It was easy to make an appointment, there was no wait, and the office was convenient. Dr. Keener was professional, very friendly, took time to explain the examination and answered questions. He was also very proud of his family, which is admirable. They have a decent selection of eye wear, and his office manager is fantastic. She was fun and very welcoming, even agreeing to see me on her lunch for a fitting. I think I found a new doc. read more

The one star is not for Dr. Keener himself. I think he's great. The one star is for the snotty Kim who answered both of my calls. I called to inquire about the charge for a full eye exam: 1) I called the first time to get the general cost for a return patient and 2) then I called again when I found out I get a discount from my insurance (I don't have eye insurance, but we get a discount on vision services supposedly). She couldn't find me located in the insurance's data base. I explained that I had seen the doctor before a few years ago and asked if there was any way they could still offer me a discount of any amount. She was very snotty in her reply. I asked to speak to the billing manager and Kim said that she was with a patient and could not speak to me at the time. I asked Kim to leave her a message to call me and asked when she thought the manager might get back to me. Kim (again, with attitude) said that it was a very small office and that both of them were "very busy" and she didn't know. Of course, I never got that call. Instead I went to LensCrafters up in Pleasant Hill a few days later. They were great! I was helped by Vickie (assistant) and Dr. Carolyn Gee (doc of optometry). Both were very thorough, friendly, and of course you can't beat the cost--which was about half of what Dr. Keener charges. I will definitely go back there! I have tossed my contact info for Dr. Keener's office based on the two experiences I had on the phone with Kim. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Keener's for many years and I have always been pleased with the outstanding care I receive. The staff is knowledgable and friendly and goes over and above to make sure I have everything taken care of at every visit. Dr. Keener is thorough and conscientious and always takes his time in completing my eye exam to explain everything thoroughly. I can't ask for better care and the results speak for themselves. I can't recommend Dr. Keener's great care and staff any higher! read more

Dr. Keener, here in Walnut Creek , is an AWESOME Optometrist !!!! He always gives me glasses and contact lens prescriptions that are PERFECT !! And has been doing so since I started seeing him 19 yrs. ago. I know he was a Professor at the University of California School of Optometry for probably over 20 yrs., and you can surely tell because he educates you, during your exam, about your vision and the health of your eyes. He is also a very dedicated Optometrist and his dedication follows him down to Guatemala where, every year, he goes there on a medical mission to help the under-privileged people of that country, take care of their vision. I really enjoy hearing about his Guatemala trip "miracles" when he returns from those missions. I think he's been in private practice for almost 40 years and you have to be an Excellent doctor to stay around that long !! He is delightful and his staff, ( who have also been around for a long time), are GREAT !! Dr. Keener gets 100 stars and more, in my book, for his excellent optometric care of two of my most precious assets....my eyes !! read more

I made an appointment with Dr. Keener because a friend recommended him to me. When I arrived, I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who gathered some information from me and prepared me for my examination. I was impressed with the attention I received and his willingness to explain all the details of my prescription and eye health. Following my exam, one of the back office staff helped me select the perfect frame. I was very appreciative of the meticulous manner they adjusted my frame to fit perfectly on my face. I'll have to admit, I was a bit intimidated by the fact Dr. Keener was a clinical professor at U.C. Berkeley for over 20 years but he was very attentive and I have never had such a thorough eye exam! I will definitely recommend Dr. Keener. read more

CORRECTION on something another reviewer wrote, Dr. Keener does not perform Lasik sugery, but refers to UC Berkeley.
