She told me she didn't know how to provide a copy for me and that my other doctors wouldn't know what they were looking at anyway.

Since there are so many optometrists/ophthalmologists to choose from, I will be taking my business elsewhere

I arrived to my appointment early and was told by the office staff that they were short staffed and that I needed to take a seat. I patiently complied with the request. Note: The office staff never greeted me. The staff wrapped up with other clients. Additional patients walked in and they waited on them. I approached the host stand again and told the staff member that I had been waiting for a while. The staff member told me to take a seat again or they can reschedule my appointment (for 2 months from now on a Saturday). Note: A patient walked out on an appointment a few minutes earlier because they were running behind on appointments and they rescheduled her appointment for next week. Then a patient walked in wishing to see the doctor and the office staff helped her immediately ignoring the people and myself in the waiting area who had appointments. I told the office staff to remove my name, I do not want to reschedule my appointment, and that I would be taking my business elsewhere. The office staff never apologized or offered to help me (except for 2 months from now).

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Arnold Family Eye Care…read more As someone with over 15 years of experience in the medical field, I expect professionalism, communication, and proper patient care, which were not reflected here. My 17-year-old daughter and I had appointments on April 24, 2026. I scheduled my appointment before leaving the country specifically to receive contact lenses, and my daughter's visit was a routine annual exam to confirm that her prescription had not changed. She already had an adequate supply of contact lenses and did not need new ones. During the visit, we were separated. My daughter received an eye exam and contact lenses were ordered for her without my knowledge, discussion, or involvement as her parent. This was a routine exam for a minor, and I was not informed or included in decisions regarding her care. Despite clearly explaining multiple times that she did not need contacts, I was still charged for a contact lens fitting. There was ongoing confusion regarding both of our contact lenses, including repeated misinformation and lack of follow-through, and I had to explain the same situation multiple times to different staff members without resolution. The final phone call was completely unacceptable. After weeks of trying to resolve the issue, the staff member talked over me, raised her voice, refused to let me speak, and ultimately hung up on me. I have never experienced this level of unprofessional behavior in a medical office. This experience does not reflect the professionalism presented on the clinic's website. I would not return to this office for my needs and would not recommend this experience to others.

Prices for contacts or glasses are noticeably less than I had been paying at Clarkson Eyecare…read more Frame selection is less varied but I had no trouble finding some I liked. If the eye doctor changes your prescription after you get the glasses, they will redo them free. Glasses came back promptly after ordered. Beware, however of two things. First, the optical area is ALWAYS understaffed for the number of customers, so expect to wait 30-60 minutes every time you visit. This means you will be helped by a staff person who is hurried and under pressure, with five or more people waiting for you to finish. They have no "line" or even "take a number" system, so you have no idea how long the line actually is. Second, every optical retailer I'm aware of is willing to exchange unopened boxes of contacts if your prescription changes. Not Costco! I purchased contacts in September of 2019. Dr. Steele changed my prescription in February of 2020. I had two boxes of contacts (approx $200) in the old prescription (with an expiration date on the box of 2024) and Costco refused to exchange them because my original contact prescription (NOT my purchase) was more than 12 months old. Happily, I found out 1800Contacts has prices that are better than Costco and they were willing to take back the contacts I purchased AT Costco(!) and fill my new prescription with that credit.....and they were far faster, friendlier, and competent. My advice is that the "savings" isn't worth the hassle, the lack of customer service, and the more restrictive approach to exchanges of contacts.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. Pricing is even better…read more I had to do an eye exam because the DMV would not allow me to get my license without having my eyes checked out and the form they gave me filled out. I went to 5 different places on telegraph and this place got me in within 10 minutes. When I went to the other places they did not have any appointments that same day so I booked appointments for next day with a couple of them and asked pricing. The least expensive option from the other places was $150 for just the eye exam with no insurance and another one was $250! Affordable eye care was only $40! Please check this place out for both price and the friendliest crew working there. They also have a lab inside that does your lenses within 20 minutes. Extremely quick. Extremely great customer service. Very inexpensive!

I was having a horrible time seeing still and the people at the other shop wouldn't listen to a word I said. A family friend told me about this place and the prices she got.

I've not purchased my contacts yet but the price I've paid already is outstanding. With how bad my vision is I never thought I'd be excited for glasses. It was always embarrassing to me to wear them.

We had an appointment on a Saturday at 4PM. We understand they close early and that's fine but don't tell us that we're able to get a pair of trial contacts to get by before glasses come in but won't give them to us because a doctor has to see us put them in and out...told us at the beginning. And at the end the male manager said he wouldn't give it to us since the doctor has to see...well that's a total lie. We went to a different location on Monday and a doctor did not see us at all while getting and putting contacts in. Hmmm sounds like the manager at the Lindbergh location was just plain lazy and wanted to get out of there since everyone else was leaving. Again, I understand they close early on saturdays but don't say something then change your mind at the end since everyone took so long. We will never come back to this establishment ever again. Full of lies and do not care about their customers.

I am a diabetic and would not trust my eyes with anyone else. Dr. Becker was patient and kind. He always had time to listen to my concerns. Everything that was great in Dr. Becker (he retired) is also great in Dr. Selliyan and Dr. Pfeiffer. I recently had cataracts removed and they went out of their way to reassure me that the procedures would be quick (10 Minutes) and I wouldn't feel a thing (I didn't). The staff was incredibly helpful, explaining what the insurance would cover, what the aftercare instructions would be and were patient with me during my follow-up visits.
