I must say that I looked and researched for a good optometrist since ours stopped taking our insurance, I came across this place on YELP and was excited to try it. The staff was nice, doctor was good but... the pricing is OUT OF CONTROL!!!!! I have NEVER paid so much for glasses in my life and I have double coverage. My husband offered his old frames in order to keep the price under 300$ It's a COMPLETE rip off. I specifically told them I wanted zero or very little out of my pocket but that didn't matter...to make matters worse, both my prescription and my husband's was waaay off, his eyesight has gotten worse because of the bad prescription, I NEVER wore my glasses because they were absolutely off in terms of the prescription. I recently called to get my son's prescription (he broke his glasses, I was desperate) and they insisted he be seen there again, I said NO, you're too expensive, well long story short, I found another place, which is GREAT and was able to provide me with 2 pairs of glasses for $51.00 including the exam fee, no gimmicks no fees, just the good ole traditional eye exam with less FANCY equipment; Unfortunately it gets worse, I was really upset when I scheduled my son for his appointment at the new place they informed me that Beyond Opt. had already requested an authorization for him. I really believe this company is scamming people and overcharging their patients and mishandling the insurance claims. Don't let the fancy 3-D equipment fool you... save your money and your time. read more

Thank you Dr. Ardakani and beautiful Staff at Beyond Optometry. I really appreciate your service. I love my glasses. I can see clearly now. I am so grateful to have Beyond Optometry as my go to place for my eye care. read more

When I had my initial appointment the receptionist and doctor were nice and worked with me when I needed to try multiple contact lenses. But when I tried to renew my contact lenses they rejected it since it's been over a year since I've had an exam. Now that is my fault. But, when I called to ask when my last exam was the receptionist was rude. Maybe she was busy. But all I wanted to know is when my last appointment was so I could make another one. *The average review is only because of how I was treated recently when I wanted to find out when my last exam was so I could make sure insurance would cover the exam. read more

Normally, I prefer to find and pay for the cheapest deals that I can find, however as I get older and wiser, I realize the difference between a cheap good deal and quality care and getting what you pay for. Dr. Arakani is a fantastic example of that. He is extremely professional, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable. The office was very clean, well-decorated and modern in looks and updated technology. From the first phone call in making my appointment all the way to the end of my exam, then placing an order for a new pair of glasses, I felt important and that he cared for me and the well-being of my eyesight. We talked about glasses end contacts and he was very helpful! He was even honest about certain recommendations, which made me feel very comfortable that he wasn't here just to sell me on stuff. I lost my job and didn't have vision insurance at this time and he really helped me with a cash price as well as a great bundled deal for frames & lenses. My appt was at 2pm in the afternoon and I was the only there. I was promised 2-3 days to receive my glasses back, but got a call that they were ready the very next morning so I was very pleased with their turnaround times. I would 1000% return and give them my repeat business, as well as recommend anyone who may need his services. You will not be disappointed! read more

I was referrerd to Dr. Ardakani recently by a friend. I called and made an appointment for an eye exam and a new pair of glasses (badly needed). Dr. Ardakani is as professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and accommadating as anyone could ever be. He's following COVID-19 safety practices and procedures which allowed me to feel safe and protected during my visit and examination. He intuitively seemed to know what I wanted, and what would be best for me, and my lifestyle. He definately put my best interest at heart first and foremost. I highly recommend Dr. Ardakani for anyone who is in need of Optometrist services. read more

Enjoyed the experience of getting my eyes checked since it's been a long time. The people are friendly, and very helpful.

I have been going to Eyecare Optometric Center for a number of years and the service is always fantastic. Every visit has been fast, efficient, and professional. Doctor Frimtzis is very friendly and personable, as is the person working in the front office. I like the selection of frames and the front office person is always very helpful with assisting me in choosing a stylish one in my price range. The office is clean and well organized. Really the whole experience is everything you could hope for from an optometrist. read more

After getting denied lenses on my favorite frames at LensCrafters I decided to give Dr Bruce a try. Not only did I receive the product in a timely manner I also saved money and learned a valuable lesson. I should have shopped around because the office proved to be nicer and had the time to actually accommodate my needs, not rush me into something I didn't want or wasn't asking for. No games. No bs'ing. I got exactly the frame, lens and service I was looking for and I will return here from now on for my eye care needs. Highly recommend. Support local business! Save money and hassle. read more

Dr. Frimtzis was an absolute professional. Very courteous. The day of my appointment he was a one man show, his assistant had called out. I was in and out very quickly. read more

Extremely knowledgeable and totally professional from start to finish. And all the staff have wonderful, helpful personalities. Will continue here for sure! read more

Dr. Bruce is the best eye doctor in Southern California. I have been going for my eyes care for twenty years.

I stumbled across Dr. Frimtzis' office on accident. I lost my only pair of glasses at the beach the previous day and was looking for a big box optometrist office when I made a wrong turn. It was a Saturday and when I walked into the office they were closing shop. Dr. Frimtzis reopened and turned on all of the testing equipment without a shrug. I didn't even have an appointment! He was very thorough and did not rush through the exam. He discussed nutrition and how certain carotenoid alcohols and antioxidants play a role in maintaining optimal eye health. I always appreciate a holistic approach! He even helped me pick out my frames, folks! His office is clean and orderly. His staff is very friendly and his office features a nice selection of frames for men, women and children. I am so thankful for his care and patience and even though there is an optometrist office right up the street from where I live, he can count on seeing my face next year for my yearly exam. I rarely give out 5 stars but Dr. Frimtzis' practice earned it. read more

Awesome eye dr. Friendly and knowledgeable doctor and staff. Easy to make an appointment and I've never had to wait at my appointment time. Glasses/contacts come in quickly. Insurance accepted. Thorough exam, and doctor explains everything he is doing and why. Convenient location. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Ardakani at Beyond Optometry. Aside from being kind and professional, he explained everything very thoroughly and even asked if I had any questions. His assistant, Jessica, is also very kind and knowledgeable. The office is modern, well maintained and overall has a great vibe. I really appreciate their office hours too. Scheduling an appointment was easy and convenient, I didn't even have to miss work. But above all else, I can see!! Look no further, make Dr. Ardakani your new Optomitrist! read more

All staff was very friendly and professional. Entire exam was very quick, and they had a great deal on new glasses!

Dr. Frimtzis has been our family's optometrist for a long time; the whole time we've lived in Escondido, almost 25 years. We are always impressed by his profesionalism and knowledge. We receive top notch care that is up-to-date. He is also very easy to talk to! 'just the Best! read more

I went here based on Yelp reviews and VSP network membership. I had a specialty sunglasses insert that big box stores would not touch. Dr Frimitz knew exactly what was needed, made the needed measurement and ordered the proper lenses. They arrived in less than a week and are perfect. I will definitely be back to Dr. Frimitz. Thanks, Doc! read more

I've been seeing Dr Bruce Frimtzis for more than a decade. He's the only eye doctor that's able to nail my prescription every time. Not too under or over corrected, just right. No bad eye strain or headaches especially after a new set of glasses. I also like how he takes time to explain things in a personable way. I never feel like I'm being sold something that's not going to positively benefit me. That's likely because he keeps my best interest in mind and provides quality care and products. I think he's the best optometrist in town. read more

Dr. Bruce is the best Optomotrist That I have been able to find in California and Florida combined. He nailed prescription. He was patient, courteous, and he has a good sense of humor. I highly recommend him for any of your eye care needs. His office staff, Christie is personable, and fun. She's organized and efficient. read more

I had never been to an optometrist before and was having some major eye strain from reading. The eye exam was easy and the Doctor was very helpful, professional, and gave me options which I liked. Overall great experience! read more

I have gone to Dr Frimtzis for a few years and am very satisfied with the thoroughness of his exams. He has a wide selection of frames and contact lenses. I would recommend him if you want a caring and knowledgeable eye doctor. read more

Front office receptionist was rude and difficult to understand, which is frustrating as a customer when discussing financing and insurance. I issued 2 stars because the doctor was cooperative and very apologetic when I went in to pull our file and explained why. Having a good front office is almost as important as the services a business provides. My experience here proves this to be true. read more

My normal eye dr is Dr. sit @ Escondido Optometrix. I called the end of MAY to get an appointment and they couldn't get me in until the middle of JULY. BULLSHIT ? So I found dr Bruce on yelp actually , called and they could get me in that day (Friday) or tomorrow. Optometrist open on a Saturday ??? HELL YEAH. I took the Saturday appointment, and then Saturday rolls around, I get there. I literally almost walked out of this place because the front desk lady is so rude her attitude is just.. ugh. I didn't want to talk to her anymore. Luckily right before I walked out, Dr. Bruce came and got me and took me back. I was a new patient so we did all the exams and such. I have astigmatism that I haven't ever really understood. After seeing Dr. Bruce I could teach people about my astigmatism like the back of my hand. He will explain anything to you, Answer any questions you have, he even helped pick out my frames! :) which was awesome because I couldn't see without my normal lenses so I needed assistance. He has appointments that you don't need to book months ahead of time, he's informative and helpful. AND I FREAKING LOVE MY GLASSES &SUNGLASSSES . I can get past the rude receptionist because he is just so great at what he does so I will be back. Thank you doctor Bruce!! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Frimtzis for over 8 years now and he has always been friendly and so has the staff! Great selection of frames. Highly recommend Dr. Frimtzis! read more

I was seen promptly by Dr. Frimtzis who gives the best examinations and clearest prescriptions, without being rushed at all. I have had previous experiences with other eye doctors in San Diego who give prescriptions that are too strong and tire my eyes out. I highly recommend Dr. Frimtzis! I wish he was my primary care doctor... read more

I was referred to Dr Frimtzis' office by a friend and I could not be happier that I did. It was so easy to make an appointment (not have to wait for months like other places) and they took the time to confirm insurance and coverages well before my arrival. Dr Frimtzis described everything before he did any tests and was very thorough even though there was another patient waiting. He didn't rush me through at all. The assistant, her name escapes me, is sweet as they come. She helped pick out frames that looked great and gave her honest opinion. My view was a bit off since my pupils were dilated. Glasses are perfect and came in earlier than they told me. Do yourself a favor and go see these folks! read more

I had a great experience here. Prompt and courteous. Can't wait to receive my new prescription sunglasses!

Don't bother going anywhere else for your prescription. Dr. Frimtzis truly puts you through those test machines to get it right. I moved here two years ago and didn't know where to go, so I looked at the reviews and made my appointment.My first impression when I arrived - Dr. Frimtzis was helping a man who was disabled and could hardly talk. He even picked out his glasses for him. I thought what a kind person. Then, it was my turn. No kindness lol. Oh maybe it was me. I don't like taking all those test for my prescription. But once he got it, he wrote it down, threw the pen on the table and said in a conquering voice, "That is your prescription!!" Then it was time to pick a frame. I looked at about 10 of them and he says, "No not those, what about these?" at which point I called him BOSSY and tried them on. Beautiful I loved them-Cole Haan of course. At the end of the appointment we had come to an understanding of each other. Seniors (I am a senior) don't let anyone else fill your prescription and let him help pick out your frame. Young people save your eyes and get your prescription here. Its a small place. Which is great because you get the Doctors attention and patience. Love my glasses. Best glasses I have ever had. I have never been able to see out of my left eye this great - ever. I put them on and I didn't even need to get used to them. Everything-clear. Extraordinary!! read more

I scheduled an appt on a Sat morning for myself, I brought my son with me and they saw both of us without hesitation. Friendly staff and Dr. I would definitely recommend to others. The Dr was very knowledgeable. I couldn't have asked for a better 1st time experience. read more

My first visit with Dr. Frimtzis was amazing! I had horrible pain in my eye and he fit me in right away. He was able to immediately diagnose my issue and treat it. I was healed within a day. I will definitely be going to him for all my eye care. read more

I went to Lens Crafters at the Escondido mall a few years back before I saw this great Doctor. Lens Crafters did a horrible job, and I ended up with a bad prescription on my eyeglasses and sunglasses. This Doctor here I would recommend to everyone! He does a fabulous job. I couldn't be happier with my new glasses! read more

My Husband and I needed glasses but I first visited Lenscrafters but they didn't utilize our insurance so I came here. Not only did they utilize our insurance but were able to help us with 3 pairs of glasses/sunglasses. Very helpful and friendly!!! read more

Dr. Frimtzis has state of the art equipment to provide a most thorough and professional eye exam. He is also very knowledgeable about medical problem of the eyes and will test your eyes for them. Overall, a really good optometrist. His office is easily accessible from the I-15 and parking is plentiful. He is a preferred provider for many vision insurances, too. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Bruce Frimtzis for a few years and in those few years, I have had very pleasant experiences with him and his staff. They are very nice and extremely professional. I would recommend Dr. Frimtzis to anyone. There need to be more doctors like him around :) read more

I absolutely love this place! Very very kind eye doctor! Their wait is usually less than 10 minutes and you're in and out of there pretty fast. Staff is amazingly friendly. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable in their establishment. I've been going here for 2 years and have no complaints. read more
