Made an appointment well in advance. Drove 2.5 hours for it. The lights were off, and nobody was there. All the furniture and office equipment were still there. Nobody answered the phone, and the voicemail was full. I tried calling again several days later, but still no answer. Based on other reviews, it seems this business is now closed/defunct. What a shame. Kelvin was great. Edit: Kelvin reached out to me and was very apologetic and eager to make amends. Apparently, he doesn't have staff anymore, it's just him, and he has a new phone number, which is on his website. He's still open for business. Updated my rating from 1 to 4 stars to reflect the overall great service I've gotten. If I still lived in the area, I would continue to use him. read more

Anyone know what happened to Dr Tang? I tried to make an appointment but saw they're closed?? No notice? No option to get our records? Seems pretty sudden. Hoping he is ok! But seriously, how do I get my records? read more

What happened, why is this place closed? How can I get my records? Dr. Tang was great! I am devastated now I have to find a new eye doctor and I'm sure the new doctor won't be as perfect as Dr. Tang. read more

Dr. Tang is still here! My husband and I just saw him yesterday. He is operating his practice on his own due to high overhead. I contacted him through his website and he got back to me the same day. We made an appointment for the same week. read more

I have seen Dr. Tang for several years and I love the time he spends at each visit, his memory and detail about me and my vision, his impressive optometrical knowledge and training, and his kind and friendly staff. No pressure, no rush, just great service. I am so glad to have found him. read more

Dr kelvin tang is one of the best and nicest eye doctors ever. He always makes us laugh and is very through in cleaning his equipment. Also, his supply of glasses frames is awesome as it helps us pick the correct ones. If you are looking for a nice eye doctor, this is the place to go! read more

This is very concerning. I, and my family, have been patients of Dr. Tang for over a decade. We have been very pleased with his professionalism and how personable he is. We have referred him to many friends. I had my annual appointment in January of this year. Upon trying to contact the office recently we were shocked to find the office has closed (per Yelp reviews). The voicemail is full and there is no response to email. I am very concerned. This is not like Dr. Tang, He would have let his patients know he was going out of business or how to obtain records. I hope he is OK. read more

I too am concerned. Dr Tang is such a good Dr and so kind. I hope he's ok. It's time to schedule my annual eye exam and was shocked to see they are closed. read more

I have been wrestling with a prescription that I got from Kaiser in Feb. 2024. 1 eye has an astigmatism. The other doesn't. Throw in some medical considerations too. They gave me a "monovision" correction with the idea being - my brain would have to reconcile it out and I'd be able to see clearly with just the contacts. This did not work. I would hope that Kaiser would look into my chart and see the challenges on WHY this wasn't going to work for me. I went back to Kaiser and they tried to set me up with something else..but it was just a change in the prescription to the left eye. I was tired, slightly nauseated, I could feel my brain straining to reconcile the 2 different kinds of lenses and i could only wear them for 4-6 hours before I was exhausted. I realized that I had a VSP Benefit and my daughter recommended Blink to me after her experience. I felt like I had nothing to lose, and everything to gain with a second opinion. I have to say..I had an exam that lasted longer than ANY appointment I've ever had at Kaiser. The exam with the giant monster eye glasses that they ask 1 or 2? 2 or 3? 3 or 4? Dr. Tang took the time to listen to me, my activities, my health status...and he essentially simplified the way my eyes were being corrected. Now..I have a distance correction because as it turns out, my astigmatism is so slight that it might even go away (my right eye astigmatism is gone) I can use these contacts for driving and being outside. I had not seen that clear in 10months. And..that inner brain "flex"..where it was trying to figure out which eye was dominant? That wasn't happening anymore. To see up close, I just put on a set of $10 readers as the up close correction is tiny compared to the distance. I literally wore those contacts for 8 hours - no headache at all, no nausea. The next day at work, i just put on a pair of readers to see the monitor..and would take them off when I'd walk around. EASY PEASY. I almost bought a frame from them also to get a nicer pair of readers, but was advised that the benefit could be better used to pay for the daily wear contacts..so that's what I'm going to do. I really left here feeling like those things that were making daily living difficult were finally being heard. I was given an option that was simple. Monovision didn't work for me as it was not only exhausting me, I was also losing depth perception. VERY grateful for Dr. Tang and the nice, welcoming team at their office. read more

Best optometry visit I've ever had. The Dr was personable, thorough and oh so approachable. Highly recommend this office, look for building 1. read more

Are you still open? I am current patient. I am trying to make an appointment, so I can order new contact lenses. I've called many times, including leaving a few v/m's, and emailed, and nobody responds. Frustrating to say the least. read more

Not for me. The reviews had me fooled but this place is a joke. The doctor is kind, but the efficiency of the office is trash. I've never been to the optometrist and had to ask for frames. It was awkward. And I've never picked up DIRTY frames. You can see I'm outside the clinic, with my BRAND NEW GLASSES. DIRTY!!! I didn't expect much but this was ridiculous. Don't say I didn't worn you. Go somewhere else! read more

See all

I've never gotten my eyes checked my whole entire life, so I was pretty nervous on what the Dr would say. Turned out to be one of my best experience visiting an Optometrist. The front staff was very friendly and had me fill up the a quick form. Dr. Tang soon after directed me into his office and explained the procedures in great details. He ensured that I understand and agree to all the procedures that will be performed. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Kevin and his staff are amazing and diligent with their patient services. I've visited the office two times in the last two years. Kevin takes great care in creating a clean and comfortable environment for his patients. He takes exceptional notes that really show he cares about the overall care. My first visit I was worried that my insurance might end before I could visit the office, his team was able to get me in, and I will now be a loyal customer. Thankful to find such a caring eye doctor. read more

My son had a relatively urgent need to see an optometrist, and Kelvin graciously found a way to see us right away. His evaluation of my son was incredibly thorough, and he explained everything at a level that both my son and I could easily understand. I can tell that he genuinely cares about his patients. While many optometrists can prescribe glasses and contacts, Kelvin also provides a level of understanding and compassion that is increasingly uncommon today. I will definitely be telling all of my glasses-wearing friends to go see this guy! read more

Just didn't work for me. I was evaluated in late 2023 and advised my prescription hadn't changed much. I felt my eyesight had gotten worse. I have been having trouble using the prescription recommended. Will schedule another eye exam with different optometrist. read more

i requested a consult for an eye irritation that i was suffering from on a saturday morning and within 30min, Dr. Tang responded, diagnosed me, and gave me treatment recommendation and i was healed in 2 days! He was following up on his days off and genuinely seemed to care! i wish all doctors could be as compassionate as Dr. Tang! I will most certainly go back there and make sure i tell everyone in know to go see him! read more

Dr Tang is an excellent doctor whom I've been going to for several years. Always takes time to listen to my concerns and does a wonderful job giving you the right prescription. read more

Dr. Tang is my sons eye Doctor. I decided to visit him due to the fact that Kaiser's insurance that I currently have does not cover routine eye exams. I happen to have VSP also and Blink accepts VSP. Well Im kicking myself for not having seen Dr. Tang years ago. His clinic is spotless. He is very very professional. He is very caring and so is his staff. Very friendly assistants that actually want to assist you. The bad part for you might be that he's booked wayyyyyy in advance. If you are lucky and get a spot you wont be disappointed. I highly recommend him. read more

I just finished my first appointment at Blink Optometric and all I can say is WOW! Dr Tang and his staff are customer service at its finest. This was by far the most thorough eye exam I've ever had and Dr Tang really took the time to help me understand what was going on with my eyes. Being in the medical field I can truly appreciate the care and precautions he has taken during this new COVID world. You can tell that he really cares for his patients and their safety. I can see why his schedule is booked out for months in advance. If you haven't already, book your appointment now because he is definitely worth the wait. read more

This is the most caring, kind, competent, thoughtful eye doctor ever. His office is clean with easy parking and very polite staff. I cannot recommend highly enough. read more

Dr. Tang is one of the best doctors I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He's incredibly kind and thoughtful, and he explains everything he does as he does it--the way that good doctors do. He also puts you at ease. Have a question? Just ask! All doctors should be like Dr. Tang! I'll be referring everyone I know to him. The office also has a good selection of glasses, too! read more

Dr. Kelvin Tang is the best! Always on time, and he cares about you as a patient. Been seeing him for years and always a nice visit. Highly recommend seeing him! read more

I can not say enough good things about Dr. Kelvin Tang. He is incredibly kind and patient - very thorough in his exams and assessment. I have had emergency eye issues with both myself and my son and he got us in immediately. Dr. Tang called me personally that evening, and the next day, to follow up and see how everything was recovering. He truly cares about his patients, and is very knowledgable and helpful. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Tang is just amazing and so friendly. Just love how he remembers us and always addresses us by our names. Our whole family sees him and he's just great with the kids. I highly recommend this place. read more

Love this place! Dr Tang is awesome and has a great staff. He's very knowledgeable and caring with regard to your eye health. When I first visited him last year he answered my many many questions about LASIK. I also got to know him on a personal level and his adorable family. Great guy all around. This year for my follow up appointment they called me to inform me of an earlier appointment than the time I scheduled. I was actually able to make the earlier appointment however I had my 2 month old daughter with me. He and his staff were very patient with us as she was becoming fussy. It was around her feeding time so one of his staff members helped feed my daughter while I continued with my exam! They also were able to get my husband's files from our previous optometrist. read more

Staff was professional and a pleasure to work with. They gave good advise regarding the type/shape of glasses needed to provide me with the best possible vision according to my Rx. I highly recommend them! read more

With so many great reviews, what's one more? But it's earned. The doctor and office live up to the hype, and I'm so glad I visited. I loved the experience from scheduling to walking out. They go out of their way to make it clean, safe, and comfortable. And, I've never been to an eye doctor's office where they don't pressure you bye from them at the end of a visit. Thank you!! read more

Came across Blink optometrist during a little hard contact lenses emergency. My brother lost his eye contact plunger and can not take out the hard contacts without the plunger. I was calling around Walgreen, Walmart, CVS and Target for plungers but no where had them in stock. So then I went calling optometry offices in the neighborhood. Dr Tang is so extremely patient and helpful. He knew exactly what I was talking about and said I could come into the office anytime to pick up a contact lenses plunger. Saved us in this little emergency! Thank you thank you thank you! read more

I just finished my first visit with Dr. Tang and OH MY GOSH HE IS AMAZING! I had such a wonderful visit that I couldn't wait to leave a review. I literally just left his office and I'm sitting in my car to write this. Starting with the receptionist, she was such a sweetheart - very patient with me from scheduling, getting insurance info, guiding me to their location, checking in, and checking out. Then there's Dr. Tang, who I swear, is like a ray of sunlight. He made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. He definitely took his time and was VERY INFORMATIVE about everything he was doing and what he recommended. He offered contact samples and made sure I knew that it would be no problem if I needed to change it if it became uncomfortable. He even offered a printout of my prescriptions which I thought was super nice because it showed me that he didn't wanna try to upsell me by purchasing from his office (but I'll most likely end up doing so eventually). The 5 stars this office is receiving definitely deserves it! He really takes his time and schedules each appointment in such a timely manner to ensure he's not rushing through and patients aren't waiting for millions of hours. I think my appointment was booked for an hour. Definitely recommend!! But if you do plan to see him, schedule in advance. He gets filled pretty quickly and it's obvious as to why. He basically made my day. Thank you so much Blink Optometric!! read more

Probably very good but impossible to schedule an appointment. I gave up and went elsewhere :(

Would highly recommend Blink Optometric. Extremely clean environment and you know the Dr. and staff truly take safety measures seriously especially during this pandemic. Dr. Tang was super personable and takes the time to explain each procedure so you're aware of the what's and the why's. read more

These people are QUALITY!! From the front office to the back office and doctor. Just a WONDERFUL experience over all. We are looking forward to using Blink Optometric for many years to come. We will also definitely be referring to family and friends as well!! Definitely shouting them out on Nextdoor too. Thanks for being awesome guys. :-) read more

My husband and both came here for the first time and this is absolutely the best eye doctor experience we have both ever had. Dr. Tang explains everything as he does it which is just awesome and very reassuring. He even wipes down all the equipment in front of you to make sure you see him to do it which reassures me that everything is done correctly and clean. We are both making Blink our go-to eye doctor while we live in CA. Great experience, great doctor, great location. Highly recommended. read more

The optometrist and staff in this office are absolutely outstanding! They provided on time, thoughtful service and explained everything that they were doing. It's the first time that I have had an amazing experience with optometry! Thanks guys! read more

Last few times I've called the staff at front desk is rude, like asking questions is putting them out. Too bad because I like Dr Tang but I can't deal with the rudeness anymore. Looking elsewhere! read more

The best really! Dr Tang is one of the kindest doctor's you'll ever meet, explaining the procedures, asking questions throuigout. Excellent customer service! read more

I admit, I was skeptical. I mean, how could this place be as friendly and professional as all the Yelp® reviews say it is? But it's true, it's true! Dr. Tang has the friendliest chairside manner you'll ever find -- maybe too friendly. He takes the time to explain everything about the exam thoroughly, from how and why he's disinfecting the scope, to what he's looking for when he looks deep into your eyes. He laid out all my options, explained the benefits of each and even discouraged me from going with the most expensive contacts (daily wear) in favor of standard-issue two-week lenses. On top of that, the contacts arrived within four days after my appointment. (That may have more to do with Johnson & Johnson, but still.) I highly recommend Blink Optometric to anyone looking for the highest quality in patient care. One visit and you'll see what I mean. (Pun entirely intended.) read more

well If I could actually get an appt for this place I could review it. I called twice, left a voicemail because NO ONE ever picks up apparently at this business. I did get call back messages from the receptionist Elena twice, which stated to call back to schedule and appt. I called during normal business hours twice after and just gave up when yet again NO ONE picked up. really??? I wonder how does this place have customers if no one ever picks up the phone!? Needless to say I called my old optometrist up in SF and they picked up on the first time during business hours and I made my appt in 5 minutes. Id rather drive to a reliable optometrist thats 30 plus minutes away than try to MAKE an Appt with this place. Bye...... guess they are doing so well they dont need new business which would have included myself and 4 other family members. read more
