I have been seen here many times due to my glaucoma issues and the staff and providers are kind and always willing to help and answer any questions. I don't feel rushed or as if I'm a bother. The provider Dr Lee is also very knowledgeable and always willing to hear my concerns and never tries to hurry out of the room for the next patient. He has done all possible to assist with my medical issues. The office manager Brenda is also very kind and available whenever paperwork is needed for work or any concerns. The wait is a bit long but because Dr Lee doesn't rush through his patients. read more

I should have read these reviews first. Only reason I tried to contact them was a friend recommended them. I wasn't impressed from the first contact. Phone call wasn't answered voicemail left. I didn't get a response so I went to the Dr. Blink operation at Camp Pendleton exchange. After a couple days I got a phone call back from California eye ( NOT) professionals. Made an appointment but afterward went to Dr. Blink instead. CEP were so far out and Dr. Blink got me right in. Tried to call back today and after being on hold for 15 minutes I hung up. I only wanted to cancel the appointment but on their website there isn't a place to do that. read more

I do not recommend this place. They do not seem to care about their patients, their customer service is very poor. I ordered glasses and left a voicemail after two weeks to follow up, since I had been told it would take up to that long. No one returned my call. When I called again, I was sent to voicemail once more. I then contacted the office directly and asked the receptionist to connect me to a live person. When I finally reached someone, I was told my glasses had just arrived and that I could come in anytime after 2:00 PM, as they close at 5:00 PM. I rushed to get my kids ready, drove 40 minutes through traffic, and arrived at 4:25 PM. When I got there, I was told they close at 4:30 PM and no one could help me. I explained that I only needed to pick up my glasses quickly and that I had been told I could come in before 5:00 PM and technically it wasn't 4:30pm yet. The rude staff member then informed me that the optical department closes at 4:30 PM--information that was never mentioned during my phone call. Despite the mistake on their end, they refused to assist me or make any exception and told me to come back on Monday. The lack of accountability, care, and understanding is very disappointing. Because of this experience, I will be returning my glasses and taking my business elsewhere. read more

IF they answer the phone, you'd better pray you don't get ROSE!!! Talk about an unhappy person. She is so off putting and terrible! She needs to find a job where she doesn't deal with the public! What an awful first impression. I hope the doctor reads this and takes action! Disgusting treatment read more

This place is terrible they don't respect your time. They take forever to call you back into the office and make you wait longer than needed just to make appointments. This place is really like a low income medi-cal office. Poor customer service. Poor scheduling. Poor overall service. This place is a waste of a day. read more

I could go on but the bottom line is staff is rude and inefficient. The doctor made it emphatically clear that I needed to follow up with my primary and she would write him a letter informing of her disturbing medical findings. She did not follow through with informing my MD of a serious problem she believed I had. I was advised to take baby aspirin and seek cardiac work up right away for her belief that I had a stroke in my eye Dr Cavanaugh did not report this in her exam record. I was rattled by her diagnosis, and when choosing glasses, after my exam, by the end of spending so much time and being shook, the glasses I chose I was presented with a bill close to $750! I was not thinking clearly and moved forward. Buyer beware...The glasses came, and they were so off that I could not see properly. because of the drama and incomplete medical records, I have no confidence and no longer wanted to do business with these people. I would have to return and go through another exam and a remake of the glasses. My records are inaccurate with no mention of her findings. I do not trust her as my doctor. I would never recommend them or the staff! Extremely rude. They have refused my request for a refund. They do not return my calls nor follow through with my request for records and receipts. The Doctor NEVER informed my Primary doctor with her assessment of my exam. Sadly, I now clearly know why they only have a 2.5 star rating Medicare reimbursed them for $160 for the exam In addition, I was charged $49 for the exam The glasses were for $750, and I can't see properly out of them. I would have to return and redo the whole process. read more

I came in for a specific type of eye exam, and everyone was so nice and professional. The front office was polite. The tech was so friendly and did a wonderful job explaining everything. The doctor came in and was also very thorough and explained all the findings. The office was clean and modern. I was very happy with this visit. read more

The surgery scheduler at the Menifee location, Alyssa Bryant is SEVERELY RUDE and does not care one iota about the patients or their care. She is absolutely inept at her job, has ZERO people skills and treated me like I was a burden and unimportant as a patient. She should NOT be dealing with the public, let alone patients undergoing any type of surgery. I began new insurance this year (2026) and let her know WELL IN ADVANCE about it. I got the new insurance information to her well before my scheduled surgery on January 9th. She could have made ONE PHONE CALL to them to find that I DID NOT need a pre authorization, but she chose not to, and her laziness and lack of professionalism ended up getting my scheduled survey canceled. Nobody from the office called me to let me know it was canceled. Had I not called to follow up, I wouldn't have known and would have shown up to the surgery center for absolutely no reason. When I reached out to her, she told me to be patient, that they have other patients and emergencies as if I wasn't important enough to take care of. This incensed me. So, we reschedule for February 6th. She charged me a $750 deductible (which I paid) only to find out today per my insurance company that I didn't have deductible at all. Zero deductible!!!! They have NO clue what they are doing there and it really makes me wonder how many other, more elderly, unsuspecting patients are getting mistreated and OVER BILLED!!!! Once my next survey in March is done, I will NOT be going back to them. They deserve a BIG FAT ZERO as a rating!! read more

I just went to pick up my third pair of glasses and they were also made wrong so they have to go back for another 14 business day s tone redone. This means I originally went to the California Eye Professionals Feb 17th, and today is Mar 12 and I still have to wait approximately 3 weeks to get my glasses. read more

Don't even bother coming to the Menifee location! Such terrible reception staff!! Never been greeted with such hostility for no reason but having to come in for my own self being!! Front desk little girl sage needs any attitude adjustment!!! Little girl can't handle medical field and needs to go to a ware house cause wow I feel sorry for others she interacts with!! Was on hold for 10 mins and got my appointment move three months later. WOW ! read more

They don't finish the exam in one visit. They have you come back several times to see you! And of course the charge each time! The staff is not friendly they are all rude! I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE! I know I will not go back!! read more

I usually don't write a review but I have waited since May 20th to get my progressive lenses and glasses from the lab California eye has turned him in four times and now they're blaming it on UPS this is the worst service the worst place I have gone there for numerous years but it has gone downhill never again will I return just a thumbs up very bad service. They got the wrong glasses sent back but they offered them to me for free why in the world would I want a free pair of glasses that I can't see out of not not a good place to go please keep your money there's numerous places to shop bad service. Robin Maul still waiting for my glasses and a refund or glasses whichever comes in first any bets. read more

very prompt and courteous service by all members. Thorough exam with all questions answered.

This place has the worst patient courtesy I've ever seen. I had to book an appointment with the specialist for her and I've talked to the person that books 2 or three times to get a date. Not once did that person tell me that this appointment would last 2 to 3 hours. Upon arrival at the scheduled appointment time, no one at the front desk told us that, one, the doctor was running an hour behind and, two, that the appointment will take 2 to 3 hours. I find this very, very rude. after sitting there for over an hour, I asked someone at the front desk who advised me that the appointment going to take 2 to 3 hours and that the doctor was an hour behind. We left. We will not be going back there again. We will find another eye doctor read more

Save yourself a big headache and find another service provider. If a simple eye exam is all you want then risk it anything more and you are asking for trouble and headaches. The whole experience is comparable to buying a used car and all the problems that come with it. Find someone else. read more

Glaucoma specialist runs way behind. Answers your questions BUT no warmth no feeling. Real attitude. Abrasive at one point. Does not like to be challenged Attitude of his way or the highway in my humble opinion read more

Rude intake staff up front, and so far, the doctor's assistant is a real gem...no eye contact she talks to the chart. What's happening? No one in the medical field seems to have decent bedside manners. Then they wonder why robots are taking over! read more

Don't use the glaucoma specialist there! He operated on my mom eye and destroyed her cornea. Now, she is completely blind to her stronger eye! First he blame on her causing the tube shift, did another surgery to shorten the tube, then sent her to retina which the retina specialist sent her back since it's a cornea that was damaged by the incorect placement of the shunt! He also did the same thing to one of the older ladies who lived near us, her eye constantly red and runny, he also want to do another surgery on her, but since what happened to my mom, she decided not to go back to him! My mom now went through terrible depression because of this incompetence glaucoma specialist. He took away little of vision she has...pretty sure she is not the only one he did this to! Do your homework, I am so regret I ever took my mom there ! read more

Very UNPROFESSIONAL, UNCARING, Non customer focused office I've had to deal with. Scheduled appointment and waited 2 months. Got a call letting me know they had to cancel my appointment but feel free to call them back to reschedule. Called them back and person who answered was unapologetic and just said you'll need to schedule a date when their next opening is..... so 2 months. How are they still in business?? As I lose my vision due to the lack of business sense from this company. How can they look themselves in the mirror and treat people this way? read more

I ordered glasses a few weeks ago and the Dr wouldn't give me the correct prescription! She said it would dive me crazy? What does that mean? I picked them up yesterday and the left prescription is wrong! It's your profession to order the right prescription! The eye doctor prescribed a steroid eye cream that caused major skin damage for over 2 months. I asked him when it would heal, he said I don't know! My skin has eye damage for 2 1/2 months! My eye sight has gotten worse! Don't go here! read more

I went in for an eye exam and walked out with a prescription that was incorrect. Not knowing this I ordered glasses and paid for 2 pair. They came back and they were the wrong prescription according to an optometrist from another place. I went back to California Eye Professionals and they checked the glasses and said, "Yes. It is the wrong prescription." I ask to see an optometrist as I needed the glasses. They told me after going there twice that I would need a third visit to see an optometrist again for a new prescription and I must make another appointment. VERY unhappy with service and they wouldn't refund the money for my eye exam since I now must go somewhere else and order 2 new pair of glasses again and pay for another eye exam. I talked with 3 different people in different departments at CA Eye Professionals including a "manager" and not one person said I'm sorry for your troubles or I'm sorry for our mistake. My first negative review. I don't usually write bad reviews. But this is my second bad experience there. Last year the 7-10 days to order glasses took over a month and they couldn't seem to tell my where the glasses were or why they were delayed. When I said just forget it just cancel the order they said "they couldn't do that." I won't be going back. read more

The office is nice and clean and Dr Tadros was very professional but unfortunately my prescription is drastically off and her staff was rude. Definitely not worth the longwait. The front desk called to schedule a follow up appointment and when I expressed that the staff was rude she laughed and said "ok have a nice day" I won't be going back. read more

Should be called Calif Eye Care Unprofessionals Waited 8 months for a surgery date and was told it could be 2 to 3 more months. They appear to be grossly overbooked and the thing about it is that their staff doesn't care. I finally gave up on them and had my doctor give me a referral to another eye care facility because at that point I didn't trust them to perform surgery on my eyes. read more

I went here for an eye exam today. My insurance would not cover glasses from them, so I took my fresh prescription to Costco Optical in Lake Elsinore. When I showed the Costco representative my prescription, he said some of the exam findings weren't listed. He suggested I call the testing optometrist to get the additional information. This is when my frustration began. After immediately being placed on hold for 10 minutes, I was told I need to speak to someone in the Optical Department. They transferred me and no one answered. The recording said I could leave a message, so I did...asking for a quick return call since I was trying to order my glasses. No one called back after a half hour, so I called in again. The operator told me that the Optical Department was short staffed due to Lunch time. I tried to explain that I just needed some additional info from my exam earlier in the day. I was told only the Optical Department could help. I asked if they would place me on hold and ask Optical to help me between customers. I was on hold for 30 minutes before Optical picked up. I told her what I needed and she said she would immediately fax it to the Costco number I gave her. 25 minutes later, still no fax. I called the same person in Optical and asked why the delay. She said she has to get the doctor's authorization first and she's with another customer. She said she would try to catch the doctor between customers. 25 Minutes later, the fax cam through. Not only did the additional information I needed show up, my entire prescription changed. The whole process took 2 1/2 hours. My sincere hope now is that the prescription is correct. I will never go here again...unless I have to have them fix my prescription after my new glasses arrive. read more

i recently visited the Hemet office for an eye exam. I cannot say enough good things about all the wonderful staff there. From the moment I walked through the door, the office staff were extremely welcoming, helpful, and generally very warm. I then had a first inspection with the nurse, I believe her name is Traci,, she was so thorough , attentive, and took her time to make me feel secure. Finally I saw Dr, Lane, whi proceeded to give me e my eye exam. He patiently went through all the tests, explaining what each one was. my test was conducted in a personal and professional manner. Hands down the best experience and eye exam I have EVER had in my 62 years! Thank you to all of you. read more

Pretty fast and easy to make an appt, which i like about them. a the front desk ladies seem like they do not want to be there though and they are a little rude. I also once had an appointment at 9:20 am and didn't get helped until around 11. I had been waiting for the doctor in her room for 40 minutes. The rest of the staff doesn't seem super friendly either. I got glasses and contacts from there, which I was satisfied with but I waited for three weeks. They were done for about a week before I got them because they called and I didn't answer as I was at work and they never bothered to call, text, or leave a voicemail. So this place sucks. read more

As reviews go, we are suppose to give assessment on our visit. Here's mine. When I called to make my appointment, Olive was very nice and friendly on the phone. In person, not so much. The business is named Professional. Yes they were. But none of the staff I had a dealing with was friendly, nor welcoming. Of course, when I spoke to Olive on the telephone, I asked if there was a co-payment. No. Once I got there, she was asking for $95. Shannon did the initial exam. Not a smile or friendly gesture. She did what she had to do and wasn't pleasant at all. Shannon probably learned that from Doctor Ho. Al though we are currently on Covid-19, the waiting room was crowded read more

I'm 76 years young and a Vietnam veteran. I lost my left eye in Vietnam and I was experiencing eye strain, with a degree of pain. I was referred to California Eye Professionals by my medical provider. What a joke, I was not physically examined by a doctor or anyone else. I was given a few samples of eyedrops for dry eye and that was it. As I was leaving, I ask if I could make an appointment for a vision check to see if I might need new glasses. This Bulldog at the desk informed me that they do not take Medicare or Tricare and it would cost me $95. I asked "you don't take Tricare, a division of United Health care or Medicare?". She said "NO!". I realized at that point, I wouldn't trust these morons/quacks with one of the most precious gifts we all have. If you incur any vision abnormality, I suggest you go to a real specialist. I did and it was discovered that my new OLED TV was the problem. read more

Had an appointment for mid afternoon and arrived early. Fifteen minutes prior to our scheduled appointment time we were called. "Its great when a plan comes together". Although they were extremely busy, service was very fluid and we were in and out in a flash. Another great experience. read more

Dr. Tadros came in and saw me holding up a lens. She asked if I could put it away. And mentioned how she doesn't like it when people touch her things. That she has her things is a place for a reason. And that in the future visits I am not to touch her stuff. That other people have stolen them, touched them, played with them. Granted, Grabing the lens from a box that sits right in front of a patient's sit was ill advised. But what is also Ill advised is where they are kept, if they are so valuable, delicate and people have a history of touching them, why are they sitting there right in front of the patien. Then she proceeded to ask me why I am using them. I explained my curiosity about the inversion of light through the lens. Then she asks what i did for work. I said I taught math and thought it would be interesting to my students. "She said, well it's more of a physics thing,so". Which I thought, intersection point, focal points, rays, concavity, symmetry, vertical angles and other components of this activity are precisely mathematics. Also, finding activities like this is exactly the context needed to support the learning. Later during the exam I was asking general questions about my eyes. One question was, what kind of lens are in my eye. Is it a lens like those on glasses or the condensed lenses in the box. She said, I went to school for eight years and I can't go over all that right now. read more

The Lensx Laser for cataract surgery is the most state of the art surgery I have ever had. Well worth the extra cost if your insurance does not cover. It obliterates your cataract lens in 60 seconds without even cutting into your eye! So much better them having it torn up with a vibrating needle. I highly recommend this procedure at California Eye Professionals with Dr. Burns. read more

I went to professionals 2 times. The first time I was told I might have glaucoma!. I came back a week later and took more tests. I waited ten days and finally called my primary doctor. He had not heard anything from the eye doctor. My doctor called me back again and told me that the eye pros want me to come in for a consultation. Sorry, I'm done with these unprofessionals. I have bloodshot, swollen, watery eyes. When I wake up my eyes are sticky and glued shut. According to the eye pros, my condition is normal and not anything that needs immediate care. Go to California eye pros at your own risk. read more

Dr. Jacobsen did an excellent job with my moms cataract surgery but when she was ready to make the appointment to get her other eye done she was told they were booked up til October. It's frustrating because now she has one eye that's healing and vision improving and she's had to get an appointment with another doctor at another office in another town in August. Just makes no sense they don't just set the appt four weeks apart in the beginning. read more

Do NOT go to this place. "Opthomologist" was completely wrong on my assessment and could've cost me my right eye. This place is a joke I got two more opinions from docs with high recommendations and they both said the opposite of this guy Thank God read more

I had a 10::00am appointment. At 10:36 I told the receptionist to cancel the appointment and left. Most people get to appointments early as I did. My time is not important to them. Shouldn't have to wait more than 10 or15 minutes. read more

1st time here and got an appointment very quickly. Office was very busy and I arrived 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork as requested. I was seen 15mins after appointment time but it wasn't bad waiting roaming the waiting room at their huge selection. I was impressed by the staff and a little shocked to see so much staff to be honest. It was busy but not to where they needed 3 girls up front to take calls and do check ins. I swear I counted at least 9-10 staff members that I visually seen. Maybe it's me but I think their way over staffed. The office was filled with laughter and that was great to see!! I enjoyed my one on one time there and plan to bring my Daughter for a visit next week too. read more

Took my 90 year old mom for a 3:30pm appt. Waited approx. one hour in lobby to be called back into exam room and then another 20 min in exam room before the doctor saw my mom. No explanation for wait time and no apologies made. Also my mom may be 90 but she fully understands and is a great communicator. The doctor wanted to talk to me while my mom was sitting right there. That is rude and not professional. Hurts my mother's feelings. read more

Do not repeat do not go to this place. My 91 year old father had a appointment at 3:10pm he was called in at 4:10 and the person behind the desk said it would be another two to three hours. I asked her if they always made their patients wait that long to be seen she said yes. I then stated well then I should just bring him a hour late she stated well you could but then we would make you wait a additional hour. I had my father leave their establishment as this was absurd. We spoke to another elderly couple who stated they had been waiting to be seen since 10:00am 6 hours. I have him scheduled with another establishment. These people are the worst at managing appointments I don't know why anyone would go to them. read more
