I agree with the previous reviewer (Tri L.) that this place is too expensive and not being upfront about the price they quoted you on the phone. As the time I write this review, there are only two reviews for Ms. Tran. The rest of the reviews are for the optometrists before her.
I took my daughter (a minor) to this optometrist, Ms. Tran, for new contact lenses and glasses. Ms. Tran was extremely bossy from the beginning and when I asked her questions regarding to a plastic 'cover' she put it in the front of an eye exam device for customers to lean on and other questions, she told me that she wanted to focus on my daughter only, so I stopped talking. After she was done with the exam, she turned to me and asked what was my questions, I told her I was wondering if the 'cover' was sanitized, and she replied that she replaced it for every customer. First of all, I never saw her put a new one on once we arrived there and besides if it was not replaced, it was already too late because my daughter had put her mouth there before Ms. Tran allowed me to ask questions. It was the same thing for my other questions!!
On top of that, she also tried not to let us make decisions on what brands of contact lenses my daughter would prefer and didn't even talk to me about my daughter's prescriptions and discussed her eye problems when we were there. Basically she just wanted my money and leave!! That said, she didn't even give me a legible receipt and written prescriptions while we were there. When I told her that I never dealt with any optometries that didn't give prescriptions after paying. She said unless I wanted to wait an hour for her to enter the prescriptions. I have been to more than 30 optometrists and none of them would tell me that. In addition to that, she seemed to rush us on everything even for picking glasses. Ms. Tran didn't let my daughter pick out glasses, but tried to pick the glasses for her and told her what was better for her. So instead, I told my daughter to take her time, however, my daughter felt too intimidated, she just randomly picked one of the frames that Ms. Tran chose for her (from only 4 pairs).
Furthermore, I asked Ms. Tran how long she was in the business and she said 20 something years and I asked her if she was new in this location, but instead of answering yes or no, she said it was run by another doctor prior to her taking over (From the reviews, I estimated that she probably was in this office no more than 3 years). From everything I observed, I really doubt her ability of being an optometrist and/or a honest business person. I'm probably going to waste the insurance and the up front cost I spent here and go to another experienced (or a decent) optometrist to get a right prescription for my daughter. My daughter already complained about her new 'trial' contact lenses makes her feel weird seeing things up close! She was never diagnosed 'farsighted' which rarely happened for minors or any of my relatives when they were under 18 years old. Her prescriptions went from -.25 to -3.50 in one year from this office! read more
