Great doctor and staff - straight to the point, very honest and didn't sell me on anything at all…read more I was hesitant to provide background that I started struggling a bit to see road signs at night due to it being my first time at an eye doctor. I was thinking any optometrist would try to sell me on a prescription (ridiculous I know - call me skeptical lol!) The testing took 15 min, very efficient. They caught exactly my issue, astigmatism. I do however have 20/20 so he explained that tho I may struggle in more dimly lit areas, glasses were not necessary! Gave me a prescription anyways in case I wanted to see clearer, but assured me my eyes are developed enough to not need any help currently. Great place! Would have given 5 stars, but their sanitization processes are lacking a bit. Things were a bit dirty - but I didn't mind lol!

It then got infected and was one of the most painful experiences in my life. Dr. Amini was the first person I contacted because she was recommended through family and a mutual friend. Dr. Amini saw me while practicing the safest methods possible amidst the pandemic. She immediately identified the problem through a quick and thorough panel of tests, prescribed the best medications, and easy to follow directions. In the picture you can see the middle portion which is lighter in color. That was the tear! Like half the cornea! Not gonna lie I liked wearing a eye patch and looking like a pirate for a week while my eye healed-that was mostly my idea. After a few follow up appointments I was as good as new in 2 weeks time. Honestly a great doctor with safe practices and very friendly/professional staff.

Absolute scammers…read more I want to preface this review by saying that everything that happened to me today happened last year when I ordered my contacts through them as well. That time, I chalked it up to a misunderstanding. This time, it's clearly a scam. Several weeks ago I got my annual eye exam. My prescription didn't change much, just a few degrees in one eye. Still have an astigmatism in the other. I have been wearing the same brand of contacts for years. The doctor asked me if I liked them. I said yes. We had a whole conversation about them being bi-weekly, and her double checking to ensure that I liked that. Then, she trialed me on the updated prescription. This part is important--I opened the trial contacts myself. I tried 3 different ones, just different numbers, *ALL THE SAME BRAND*. I know what they look like, I've been using them for years. My trial was the same as what I always use, what we discussed, and what I asked for. Flash forward to picking up my contacts. I pre paid when I ordered. When I arrived at the store, I look in the bag and the first thing I notice is that there are not enough boxes for a year supply. There are. 12 pairs of contacts. I pick up the box, and it's not my brand. It's the store's own personal brand. Not only are these monthlies, but they're a whole separate brand. I tell the girl at the desk (glass, black hair, shorter) that these are the wrong contacts. While she was professional enough, I do want to say that she was very passive aggressive with me. She told me that the doctor trialed me on this brand. I told her I opened up the contacts myself and that the doctor and I had a whole conversation about it, and that is factually untrue. She just says "okay" and then continued to say FIVE MORE TIMES that the doctor trialed me on this new brand and that I'm wrong. I shut it down each time. Anyway, I ask for my correct contacts, and come to find out that the doctor put it IN MY PRESCRIPTION that I can only have this brand. In my literal prescription, the thing that I should be able to take to any store, she noted that I can only have some soft flex thing or whatever that's in their own personal brand. This is absolutely crazy to me, which I made sure to tell them. I straight up asked to girl helping me "does this not seem like a scam to you? To say that I can only have the brand made by your company?" She didn't really have much to say about it. It was very clear that she thought I was the problem, when they're the ones running a very clear scam. I stayed until they changed my prescription to take that out. We never discussed this brand. Never discussed soft flex. The girl at the desk tried to tell me that my old brand wouldn't work for my astigmatism, but I told her the astigmatism isn't new, and that the brand does cater to it. She did a quick check to very quickly realize I was right. They tried to order me the correct contacts, but I had them refund my order entirely and give me an updated prescription to take elsewhere. This place will never, EVER be getting my business again. It feels like it should be illegal to put that I can only have this company's brand in my official medical prescription. Absolutely absurd. I'm sure they get a kick back from selling their own brand somehow, especially since this happened to me not once, but twice. And on the second time, I clarified with them at the order that I wanted the same brand I always wear, and they confirmed that's what I'd be getting. I walked out of there nearly an hour later with no contacts, and an absolute disgust from this company and Doctor Diem Tran. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Long story short, I paid $118 and did not come home with any glasses. I was told that the frames would be an additional $100 because I required thinner lenses. Then after deciding to take my prescription elsewhere and just pay for the exam, an additional $39 was added. I asked why and she said that I had a special test done. I told her no one mentioned this to me and she said " well it's only $39". I feel gross. I'm really upset that they got away with it. The woman was making me feel bad for not having insurance and kept asking questions that were unhelpful. UPDATE: I was contacted by the regional manager who sincerely apologized for my experience. I appreciate his care and attention towards the matter. Hopefully he helps to align his staff on an ideal customer experience

My mother just had the worst experience with this doctor. She was having issues with her new…read morePrescription and when she went in to get them rechecked he literally yelled at her. Told her that she had no idea what she was talking about and kicked her out of his office. He stated that he knew what he was doing and she shouldn't complain because he was right. On top of that during his exams with her he would have inappropriate discussions regarding the fact that kids these days don't have enough sex and aren't making enough babies. Why bring that up when checking someone's eyes? The yelling and berating all happened in front of the doctors wife who stood there. Her comment later was "well he was upset." This type of behavior from a male or from any person is unacceptable. Do not see this man.

So, after years and years of blurry vision and risking my life on the road, I opted for contacts. Stepped in, immediately taken in the room with the crazy eye contraptions. He read my mind, yes it's a scary looking machine but it's not going to poke your eyes out. I already like this guy, he knows me! Quick exam, thorough questions, and I am set up with a beginners set of lenses. He's easy to talk to, and I find myself confessing that the reason it took me so long to get contacts was my nervousness in sticking something willingly in my eye. You know how hard it is to stick something IN your eye? It's against all instincts and as predicted, my eyeballs weren't having it. The assistant patiently taught me tips, tricks, and the basic methods of contact lenses and sat by my side with a tissue box as my eyes streamed a trail of tears, resisting my every effort. After an hour I was embarrassed, I still couldn't do it. I was forever doomed to blurry vision (glasses give me headaches). Enter Dr. Grosso, who told my eyeballs who was boss, opened my eyelids and gently put them right in. Ah, I can see! But then he told me to take them out and have me do it. Tough love! But it worked, and I did it. Sometimes you just need someone to show you how it's done. A year later and I am seeing fine and dandy, road signs and all. My hero. Or at the very least, everyone in San Diego's since I can clearly see those road signs.

I was very impressed with how efficient and professional everyone was. I highly recommend this office and Company. The convenience of their website is amazing and intuitive.
