Dr. Tang is my dude! always end up chatting with him for so long and he's pretty hilarious (he's got one of those contagious laughs that make you laugh). I went in for my yearly check up and he was very punctual and saw me right on the time of my appointment. Also the receptionist was nice and entertained me until Dr. Tang arrived (plus she's attractive which is always nice). I have a bad habit of ordering my contact lenses when I run out of contacts, so I usually ask Blink Optometrics for a few contact lenses to hold me over until I receive my package of lenses, but they go the extra mile and give me roughly 2 weeks worth! Usually doctor visits can be a nuisance, but I find myself getting a little excited when I'm driving to my eye appointment. Thanks for the cool atmosphere Dr. Tang! read more

Dr. Tang was super helpful and friendly. I have been looking for a good optometrist in the East Bay and I'm super grateful to have found Dr. Tang. I went to my lens fitting yesterday and i could not have asked for the process to go any smoother. Dr. Tang was able to answer all of my questions, leaving me very satisfied with my visit. read more

Dr. Tang and the receptionists were wonderful. The whole process was soothing. I felt relaxed. I would give this Optometrist 10 stars!

Dr Tang knows his stuff and is very friendly. The staff here is super helpful as well. Always happy to answer questions about eye care, has late night appointments and a large selection of glasses on hand. read more

I'm a professional photographer and have been to many doctors in several countries. This is in the top of my list. Thank you for an amazing service. read more

Reluctantly, I write this review knowing full well what this means to my access to my optometrist. Dr. Tang started his own practice and...well, it's bittersweet. Sweet because he offers exceptional service and unparalleled skills. Let me say, from a guy who's worn glasses for almost 30 years, I know my eye docs. Dr. Tang ranks as THE best. I've already lined up my family members (wife, kid, mom, dad, nephews, sister, cat) to see Dr. Tang. Bitter because now EVERYONE can see Dr. Tang, making it a lot tougher for me to make appointments. He's already busy teaching young, up and coming eye docs at UC Berkeley a couple of days a week. Ah well, at least I got to write the first review! read more

We LOVE Dr. Tang! My husband (Mr. perfect 20/20) and I (Mrs. daily glasses or contacts necessary to function) have been seeing Dr.Tang for over 3 years now and we are consistently impressed with his level of expertise and compassionate care. Over the past year Dr Tang has literally been a vision saver for our daughter. Born with a congenital cataract, he has been working with us since literally day one on her visual needs. If you think putting a contact lens in an adult is difficult, try a 3 month old! To say we were overwhelmed would be a massive understatement. But Dr.Tang taught us EVERYTHING; he is patient, supportive, and extremely adept with patients who have challenging visual needs. Whether for an adult, child, or even infant, Dr. Tang is the right choice for vision care; and to be frank, when it comes to fitting contact lenses you will find no one better. read more

I love this place! We see Dr. Ashley Darnell and our whole family can come here. My daughter has Autism and has a thing with "eye balls" and having stuff close to her eyes. Dr. Darnell was really patient with her and took the time to explain things to her. They also have a great selection in eyeglasses and parking is really easy. read more

Dr. Tang is Phenomenal. He has been treating me since he was teaching at UCSF (he still teaches at Berkeley - I don't think he is supposed to advertise that in his private practice, but I will do it for him). I have had a lot of surgery on my eyes (two transplants, etc.) and they are not easy to refract, but Dr. Tang has always been "dead on". Over the years, I have seen some of the best eye doctors in the country (National Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins, UCSF, etc.) and I have never received better care than I have received from Dr. Tang. read more

I saw Dr. Tang a for the first time to get a prescription for new glasses today. He is a geeky, professional, and knowledgeable guy who is very into what he does is extremely excited about his practice. He was very kind gave me a tour of the facility to show me what is in progress in the building. Dr. Tang along with the office coordinator Katie there are a great pair of people running a charming and fantastic business. I am very pleased with my visit there. read more

My checkup with Dr. Tang was great all across the board. The front office is welcoming, with a friendly receptionist, and the exam equipment is state of the art. Dr. Tang himself is a great eye doctor: he asks lots of background questions, not just about medical history but also about my current hobbies and lifestyle to get a sense of how I'm using (and abusing) my eyes. He also tells you what he's going to do before he does it (why don't all doctors do this?). I'll absolutely be returning to Blink Optometric and I'm going to bring my family as well. read more

By far the best! Jessica at the front desk was extremely helpful with pricing, recommendations on frames(she has great style) Dr. Darnell was amazing, so patient and kind, you can tell she truly cares for her patients. I will definitely be recommending this to all my peers and family. If I could give them 10 stars I would. read more

The absolute best optometrist and eyewear experience I've ever had thanks to Yelp reviews suggesting Blink Optometric in Walnut Creek. Both Dr. Tang and his associate Ashley offer a clean,neat, modern and calm setting. Both are up to date on the latest optics and testing equipment. In addition to eye exams, they sell frames and offer lenses including lenses for frames purchased elsewhere. No hard sell here. They really want you to be happy with your results. Easy to find and easy to park right across from John Muir Hospital. read more

I'm very happy to meet such the doctor and staff in Bay Area. I called some places and first impression of staffs wasn't good but this one is different from others. They made me feel so comfortable and caring. I want to recommend this one to many ppl. read more

This is a long over-due review. I took my three kids to see Dr. Tang. Previously, we had some horrible experience with another optometrist. I was so glad I found Dr. Tang. He was very thorough, patient and informational. Unlike the other optometrist whom just rushed my kids and quickly finished their exams. Trust me, there are those out there. For my very near-sighted children, having the option to obtain contact lenses is very important to us. I found that many optometrist is reluctant to do so for my children, ages 10 and 11 years old. Dr. Tang, specializes in contact lenses is very knowledgeable and trusts my need as a parent. Dr. Tang is the first doctor I trust since moving to Walnut Creek 12 years ago. He is completely devoted to his patients and handles every step of the care himself. Some would delegate certain tasks to their office staff. Speaking of office staff, Katie is just as wonderful. It wasn't until I saw how much trouble my kids had when getting contacts fitted that I realize why other optometrists didn't want to prescribe contacts for kids. They didn't have the patience nor expertise as Dr. Tang. I highly recommend Dr. Tang's service. He is a wonderful person that cares deeply about his patients. You won't regret being in his care. read more

Dr. Tang is one of the gentlest, kindest health care professionals I've ever encountered. He's also very, very serious about doing high quality work, and I'm grateful to have found him. As a new patient with some previous health care traumas, I was truly frightened of going to get my eyes examined. I was afraid of bad news thoughtlessly delivered, but previous Yelpers spoke of Dr. Tang's kindness, so I screwed up my courage and went for a full eye exam. The appointment began with courtesy -- an apology for a tiny delay (5 minutes), hand washing and an explanation of his sanitation practices, and a very gentle interview about my health history. I confessed my fears and he listened carefully, showing the right amount of sympathy without it derailing the work to be done. Then the exam began. At every step, he explained what I should expect, and demonstrated his delight with each good result. He was very thorough, and after each section of the exam was complete, would explain what he had learned. Information was shared in a calm, caring way that reduced my stress to zero. Dr. Tang is now my optometrist for life. On this visit, the news was all good. When the inevitable day comes when a problem emerges, though, I am convinced Dr. Tang will be able to guide me through it with compassion, concern and first-rate care. read more

After reading all of the great reviews for Dr. Tang and Blink Optometric, I decided to go in for my first eye exam in six years. Blink Optometric is one of those end to end experiences that all businesses should aspire to. The call I made to set up my appointment was very pleasant and then when I arrived I was offered a beverage by both the receptionist and assistant at different times. That was impressive attention to customer satisfaction. Dr. Tang is one of the friendliest medical professionals you can find. As soon as you get into the exam room, he immediately walked me through how he was cleaning his hands and all of the exam equipment. He took a thorough history, asked me some things about myself, and tried his best to understand what I needed from my glasses. I was particularly happy that he took my two pairs of glasses to check their prescriptions and realized that one of the pairs (a recent expensive purchase) were not the quality that I assumed they were. I'll definitely get those changed. The actual exam was very thorough. Dr. Tang took the time to explain every single thing he was doing. Even his handling of the glaucoma test was masterful and wasn't unpleasant in any way. Following the exam, he took the time to discuss lens material options with me so that I would be as informed as possible before facing the sometimes manipulative opticians in eye ware boutiques. I'll definitely be returning to Dr. Tang for my next eye exam. I cant recommend his practice enough. read more

Dr. Tang was very thorough and clearly explained what and why he was doing during the eye exam. He patiently answer all of my questions. I'm 69 and have had over 40 eye exams for glasses. He is definitely one of the best OD I've had. read more

Blink Optometric has the friendliest staff, and not to mention a very convenient location. Dr. Tang is extremely knowledgeable and professional, I always end up learning something new every time i visit him. THANK YOU BLINK! read more

Dr.Tang is amazing, very sweet and professional. During the eye exam he was very informative and made sure I was comfortable at all times. I highly recommend Blink Optometrist. read more

Dr. Tang is the best eye doctor I've ever had. In 1998, I suffered scarring on my outer cornea during Lasik surgery. While I didn't lose my eyesight, I couldn't see well out of my left eye. With the expert from Dr Tang, he fitted me with a new contact lens that has substantially improved my eyesight! It was the first time I had any clarity from my left eye in nearly 13 years. In addition to being incredibly competent, Dr. Tang is the consummate professional. He explains and teaches the what and the why behind his exams. He is incredibly kind, happy and an all around great guy. I have never in my life been in better medical care than with Dr. Tang. read more

I just moved to the Bay Area and went to Blink on a referral from a coworker. I'm so glad I did! Dr. Tang was awesome! I was running a little late from work and he was super accommodating, VERY kind and thorough, explained everything well, and I was out on time! Definitely recommend. read more

I just moved to the area and saw all the stellar reviews about Blink Optometry and wanted to check it out. It was my first appointment with Dr. Tang and he was very personable and hospitable. All I have to say is "WOW!" He educated me during every step of the examination about the various assessments he was performing. His staff was also very kind and offered me coffee while I was waiting. I would highly recommend Dr. Tang to anyone looking for an optometrist!! read more

Dr. Tang and the staff at Blink are amazing. I got the most thorough exam I have had in years. I felt that the staff was good old friends and that they truly cared about me. Eyeglasses that I did not even purchase there were hurting me and Dr. Tang helped make them more comfortable and he made contact changes for me that have optimized my eye comfort. I wish I was as happy at my job as the staff seem to be here. I am glad to have found Blink and Dr. Tang. I don't have kids but if I did I know they would not be scared here and get the best care possible. read more

Dr. Tang is ammmmmaaaazzzziiinnnnggggg! He was so easy to schedule with. I was able to get in and out to get back to work. He even called afterward to follow up to see how I was doing. I think everyone should go to him. He is the best. read more

Dr tang is by far the best optometrist around! He is so attentive and has great chair side manner. I highly recommend him to everyone and anyone! read more

I chose Blink Optometric after seeing their office across from the dentist office I visited plus the raving Yelp reviews. And lo and behold, yelp did not disappoint. Dr. Tang is by far my favorite optometrist that I've had the opportunity to be a patient of! He is extremely personable and kind. On top of being very smart. So nice that he stayed late for me after I got stuck in absurd traffic on my way to my appointment. Though I have since moved out of town, I am dreading having to find a new eye doctor as I know finding another as nice and knowledgable as Dr. Tang will be hard. read more

Absolutely worth every star! The staff are very nice and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. They didn't try to upsell me, just made sure I understood the exam and provided a great experience! read more

Love Love Love Dr Tang! I had my first appt with him a week ago and I have to say he is one of the best eye doc's I have been to. He has the best bedside manner and explains everything he's doing during the exam. He is very professional, courteous and super funny. He spent at least 45 minutes with me evaluating everything. I have been to doctors who literally rush through the exam and I'm out in 15 mins. His office is very clean and tidy. His staff is also very nice! I definitely will continue to come here and already have referred my family here. read more

Super helpful staff! I felt well taken care of when I was getting my contacts and eye glasses. :] I do not remember the names of the staff members who helped me but everyone was awesome. It is kind of a pain to find but other than that, I had no issues. Highly recommend! read more

Blink is the BEST Yelp! recommendation I've gotten so far. I agree wholeheartedly with the positive comments. Dr. Tang and his staff are genuine, caring professionals. Dr. Hua is no longer there (sad face here) but she was wonderful, too. read more

Great doctors and staff, thorough exams, and super family friendly! Highly recommend Blink Optometric!

My spouse found this based on Yelp reviews and he had a great experience so I also brought my daughter. She received an cursory eye exam through her school. They discovered that she may have a slight astigmatism and suggested I have an official eye exam. She saw Dr. Tang, who was absolutely delightful and educational. Since it was her first eye exam he explained all aspects of the entire process to her. Extremely friendly and unsurpassed customer experience! read more

Very nice and polite, my daughter brings her family here and I thought I'd try him and I have now found a new home. Thank you Dr Kevin for your personal touch and your professionalism . I would highly recommend this optometrist. read more

Blink is a wonderful place!! The entire staff is so professional and kind! I highly recommend going here

I don't think I can really say anything that hasn't been said already, but Dr. Tang is amazing. He goes above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable, explaining what he's doing every step of the way. He is very personable and the "customer" service was exceptional. I would definitely recommend Blink for all your eye care needs! read more

Love this place! Dr. Tang is the best eye doctor - knowledgeable, compassionate, thorough, so nice, and funny. He immediately puts me at ease and always explains everything he is doing. We actually moved 2 hours away but I'm still going to come to him for my yearly exams because I can't imagine finding another eye doctor as good as him! The staff is always so friendly too. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Tang is my favorite doctor. He has the best "bedside manner", is very friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and does a great job explaining to the average person. Office is very clean and pleasant to be in. His office staff is very friendly and inviting as well. Highly recommend. In fact I have referred several patients to him already! read more
