I liked Dr. Jung a ton. I have terrible eyes, so if you're looking for an eye doctor who makes you…read morefeel comfortable and doesn't jab you with all sorts of weird things... 1) No "air puff" in the eye. So maybe I've been going to him for too long and it's not standard practice anymore, but I hate that thing. 2) Maybe I'm not the smartest person on earth...or I just don't understand how my insurance company bills and charges for things. (How many contacts do I get? Is coverage for a 12-month period or calendar year?) But Dr. Jung is great because he actually looks at my medical coverage and figures out how much stuff my health insurance covers...and whether I want to pay out of pocket for other stuff. With other doctors, I feel like I walk out of the doctor's office having spent a few hundred dollars on things I didn't even know I would have to pay for... 3) He's just a really nice, easy-going on. And as far as doctors go, fairly quick and punctual.

"Patient care services at the Koret Vision Clinics include: General ophthalmology, including cataract care Optometry primary care, including prescriptions for glasses and contact lenses Glaucoma care Cornea disease care LASIK and other types of refractive laser eye surgery Strabismus care Vitreoretinal disease care Neuro-ophthalmology Oculoplastic surgery Ocular oncology (eye cancer care) Optical shop services" I found out about this place because one of my loved ones got a referral from their doctor to come here to consult and later receive eye surgery and now follow ups. This facility looks brand new and very close to the other UCSF centers and facilities in the Mission Bay Area. In terms of services and convenience, I think it deserves at least 4.5 stars. They gave patient a realistic consultation and guidance pre-op in terms of what to expect. They didn't sugar coat anything and was upfront about the risks. After op care follow up was timely and helpful. While everyone's healing timeline is different, it is nice to have the follow ups to ensure everything is going smoothly. For improvement suggestions, they can improve on the waiting room experience by having their charging outlets plugged in so people can actually charge their phones while waiting. As of right now, I only found two working outlets on two separate waiting rooms near the front. None of the other ones work.

Dr. Lee became frustrated with me..she says to me, well what do you know about your eyes...umm well I have astigmatism....Bitch, I am here for a reason I am not an eye Dr. So tired of attitude, this is the last time I use my insurance website for a Dr. referral. she measured my old glasses and said to me, this is as good as its going to get. Word of mouth...is the best referral.... the only thing that is cool at this place is they take your picture when you try on glasses so can see yourself and compare on a monitor, and then charge you all the money.

Carrie is a wonderful OD that really cares about her patients. And she's open Saturdays!…read more So, Friday night God knows what gets into my right eye and the pain is excruciating. I'm up all night icing my eyeball to numb is so that I can close the lid and try to sleep (yeah right. good luck with that). Saturday, I have to admit that my eye is likely scratched and I need medical attention. I called my regular optometrist only to find out that he was out with knee surgery and to have the assistant worriedly tell me that I needed to go to a doctor. The last thing I want to do was spend all day at the Minor Emergency. I found Carrie on Yelp by searching for any optometrist open on Saturday. She was able to fit me in within an hour, was extremely attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. I was in a huge amount of discomfort, so she did a second thorough inspection of my eye and then fitted me with a "bandaid" contact to help ease the pain. My insurance didn't end up covering the service, but she worked to get me the lowest price possible since it would be out-of-pocket and also filled out all of the insurance submission forms for me to submit to at least get the money documented toward my out-of-network deductible. She called me a few days after my followup visit to check on me, making sure I was back to 100%. This type of caring physician is hard to find; I highly recommend her.

Just want to give a great BIG SHOUT OUT to the staff here!! Anderson, Dr. Monica and their staff…read more I really don't want to wear glasses, but Dr. Monica made me feel so comfortable about them she put me at ease. Dr. Monica took the time to check every aspect of each eye to make sure that there was nothing there for me to worry about, she even asked me about my blood pressure to make sure that I was taking my medication correctly. Anderson, what can I say, he made paying for my glasses a breeze I just gave him my SS# and he had everything ready for me when I got there! If I need to have my glasses replaced, he makes sure that I get the best quality of glasses with minimal cost. And the other staff, they go out of their way to make you sure that you are comfortable and at ease, and they make sure that you understand what you are paying for before you make your payment. I will ALWAYS go here to get my glasses. Dr. Eddy Haw, you are a great Doctor have been since I meet you in Fremont, and you have a fantastic staff in San Leandro!! Bernard

I have been going to Dr. Ewers for as long as I have been in the Bay Area…read more Dr. Ewers not only took care of my eyes from about 1996 until even today, he also co-managed my Lasik operation, meaning he and his staff did all of the pre-op and post-op checkups, made sure I was qualified for Lasik, advised me on care I needed to do, helped me taper off of my gas permeables, and so on. The Lasik surgeon they referred me to, Dr. Mandel, proved to be as professional and upstanding as Dr. Ewers and my operation was as smooth as can be. Today, I am switching to Dr. Phillips because Dr. Ewers is retiring! Having just completed a checkup with Dr. Phillips, I am glad that Dr. Phillips seems to have made the transition for Dr. Ewers' old clients really easy, and I still get the same professional and upfront care as always. Lastly, the front office staff stays the same which is great because I have always found billing and scheduling to be spot on. If you are looking for an optometrist, why not check out this clinic?

I had to replace it, but I wasn't planning to see my regular eye doctor (in Chicago) until June. I was out of replacements, and I couldn't find my eye doctor. And I'm very very blind. =P So I looked for an eye doctor near me, and called these folks based on the previous good review. They were absolutely WONDERFUL. Within a few hours they had a set of trial lenses to replace my ruined one, and had ordered new lenses to arrive the next day. I'm not a prior patient and it's unlikely that I'd become one, but they helped me anyways. If I lived on the peninsula (I live in SF and don't own a car) I would absolutely come back to them. They were friendly, understanding, and very responsive in a very crappy situation. If you're looking for a new eye doctor, give them a try! They're really great people.

It used to be a real pain to schedule an appointment with Dr. Chen, so I was tempted to only give…read morefour stars because of that, but I realized that the last time I called for my annual check-up, it was easy and smooth, so they must have fixed that problem. And I love Dr. Chen. She's delivered two of my three sons and taken care of me through test scares and health worries for many years. As other reviewers have mentioned, her practice is busy, so sometimes I've had to reschedule because she still delivers babies. And sometimes I've had to wait, because once you're in the exam room with her, she really focuses on you and takes the time to answer your questions and do a really thorough exam rather than hustling you out to keep on schedule. I've always found her warm and caring and knowledgable, and she keeps very current with the latest research on women's health.
