Ricca Cathrina E.

First time ever trying this location and glad we did. We had pleasant a experience and different selection from our usual spot. We will definitely be back. Timing is important. Best to come during non peak hours. We get our prescription from Kaiser and buy here. Glasses arrive in a couple of days. Contacts may take longer depending on the prescription.

It was time for new glasses and contacts since my vision got worse! U take a number and wait to be called. The first time I came, a lovely lady assisted me and explained the coverage details for my insurance (think her name was Chona). Tried on a few frames but wasn't ready to make a decision yet. I came back a week later and Mike was extremely helpful too! Ladies, don't be afraid to try on glasses from the "Mens" section. Lol. I ended up getting a pair from the men's side. They said my glasses would arrive in 7-10 days and contacts are like 3-4 days. I would definitely recommend coming here for your vision needs; very affordable glasses and nice staff!

(2021 visit) She says "look at me". She's looking into my eyes what seems like for several minutes. At every direction she gives me, I try my best to follow what she says.. Then, she says frustratingly in a whiny voice.. "Why aren't you looking at me." "You keep looking over there?" I'm thinking in my head.. [damn girl you're hella fione but you're not even my girlfriend. I just met you.] ..Then, I remember, I'm in the eye doctors office. She says to herself quietly, it's probably the white light. [I'm thinking in my head.. look at her? I can't even see anything but this bright white light in my eyes] ..then I say to her, patiently and apologetically, "I'm trying, but yeah that bright light is messing me up" She was nice and professional at first and then all of a sudden.. It caught me off guard and the way she said it, put me in guy-defense-mode. We guys are conditioned to pretty gurls testing us, so I'm thinking maybe she does this to test everyone with good looking eyes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The first thing I noticed was her wedding ring. She has pretty eyes (we were both wearing face masks), but I wasn't at all interested in her. I had looked her up on Google to see if there was any reviews on her. None that I could find, but I did see that she graduated with honors, so that impressed me. I thought she was really good at what she does. She gave me insight about things I didn't know about. I learned a lot. The visit was worth it for me. She up sold me for the optomap ($39) and the dilation ($30). I paid cash. $54 for both as a package deal extra is nothing compared to what other doctors charge. At first, I was only interested in the exam ($89), so I didn't think I needed the other things. I'd give her an A- (the minus for putting me in guy-defense-mode) Her office assistants were nice and professional. I used to work at my older brother's OD shop in college, so I know how customers can be on the phone and in person. COVID-wise: the office assistant in charge of the eye technology, cleaned the machines thoroughly after each use. The office chairs they use for patients are the fuzzy cloth kind, and not the slick leather/vinyl kind. So, they don't clean those. If that bothers you, either bring your own wipes (but remember you have to sit down in it right after you wipe it down).. or, maybe bring a short blanket, to throw over the chairs you sit in (waiting room, eye measuring machine(s), and doctor's office). All of which I did not have to lean back in. Just sit in. Receptionist has 2 pen holders. One that is sterilized and one for used. The chairs in the waiting room have vinyl cushions, but they also aren't sanitized after each use. In every room, the optometrist has hand sanitizer. That should be sufficient for most people. Tip: If you have an appointment, you can pass the Costco glasses/frames section and go straight to the front glass door of the optometrist office. No need to take a number at the glasses/frames desk. Yes, that side is Costco. There is only 2 seats in the waiting room. The receptionist allowed 3 in the waiting room (2 sitting, 1 standing), and 1 that was being helped by the Doctor, but the optometrist assistant was able to assist efficiently after paperwork was filled out. Face masks are required. After the exam was finished, I walked over to the Costco glasses/frames section. I didn't have plans to get glasses, but I picked a number, and got served quickly. I presented my prescription and said "I guess I need to get glasses". After the Costco clerk talked to me at the desk, I was like wow.. Just like the Costco clerks at the membership desk.. rude and not very helpful, so I left as planned. No thanks. The optometrist assistant gave me paper sunglasses. If you get a dilation, OMG.. bring your own sunglasses! Costco exit is in a shaded area, until you step in the parking lot sun and sunlight blurred/blinded me. The paper sunglasses felt like they were cutting into my ears. I think they're for kids. People were staring at me as I was frantically trying to get them on over my glasses. Doing so smooshed my lenses up against my eyes and I was like WTH!!! The paper sunglasses were welcome on my eyes, because I could see again, even if I looked weird. I took a Reddit commenter's advice after getting an eye exam at Costco, to buy prescription glasses at Zenni online (even though the price of frames at Costco is supposedly $1 over their cost). There are 4 rotating Optometrists at this office (which are not advertised in any reviews), plus the owner doctor (independent from Costco). As of this writing, it is still: Dr. Greg Kamin, OD Dr. Nicole Him, OD Dr. Sandeep Kaur, OD Dr. Farah Noory, OD Dr. Quan Pham, OD I won't say which doctor I encountered. I did expect to see Dr Kamin, from all the reviews, and wondered if I'd end up with one of the bad review doctors. I was happy, got what I needed. Btw, called on Sunday, got Monday appointment.

Glasses

Really bad for prescription reading glasses. First, customer service sucks except fir the guy who took my order, he was very helpful, but the rest of the lazy ladies I had to deal with when I picked them up were bitter and unhelpful. They are there (like 4 of them) doing no much, they make you take a number from the machine when there is no one in line waiting... and make you wait until they want. So disrespectful fir the customer. And then they treat you like if you are asking for something FREE??? CRAZY! Second, the glasses frames are cheap made. They don't offer guarantee neither devolutions and glasses frames broke two months after I bought them. Don't go there buy glasses!!!!

I kind of wish I could gate keep this business, but it's a disadvantage to the people who want a good eye doctor. I've been to Walmarts optometrist, Costco's eye exams, and a couple of other optometrists around the Bay Area (Oakland was my last place) they pretty much offered the same type of general service "you don't ask, you don't tell". When I went to Dr. Leung, she had a a two woman team that runs the entire show. They both take you through tests to ensure they are not missing anything. They pointed out that my current glasses did not have the correct prescription for my eyes and the material was not what I thought it was, ( I did wonder about this bc the lens started peeling) I was basically paying for plastic. Dr. Leung is not like Kaiser, where you are pushed out because someone else is waiting. She throughly evaluates you and is very passionate about what she does. I have a slightly rare condition with my eyes, my old optometrist kept getting confused as to why my vision was not returning to normal after my pregnancy was done. When I went to Dr. Leung on my first visit, she called out my condition and was able to help me get the correct prescription. These glasses have been the best pair I have ever received. If you can understand my relief as no doctor has ever brought this up. She had the instinct to say "you look normal, but there's something else behind your situation" and I immediately was impressed. Flash forward the following year, she still has the same spunky personality and all of the special equipment to do everything herself. I asked her why does she have all of this new technology and she explained how she wants to deliver good service and if she can do things without waiting weeks for labs, why not provide that to her clients. It's nice to actually get exceptional service.

I always have gone back to Dr. Flores because she is amazing, kind, and super knowledgeable. She always takes the time to answer my questions and explain things even when their office is very busy (which is always). It makes me feel cared for and I leave feeling like I have a better understanding about my vision. When Dr. Flores has been unavailable, I've also seen Dr. Lam. One time a couple years ago, I had an eye infection and I was desperate to get some antibiotic drops. For some reason, my insurance wouldn't cover the prescription and Dr. Lam did everything she could to make sure we could find a way to get the prescription covered or at least at a lower cost. While I was at the pharmacy, Dr. Lam made herself available in between clients to call me on the phone and ensure things were working out for me. She even offered to speak with the pharmacist themselves. Last but not least, the office manager Sandra has been amazing over the years with her customer service skills and taking care of my needs. When I called to make my annual appointment, I mentioned I was running low on contacts and wanted to come in to update my prescription and order more. When I went in for my visit last week, she had already put together some trial contacts for me to take home because she knows I have a pretty bad prescription and wanted to make sure I didn't go without contacts since it takes about a week for my contact order to ship. On top that, when I went yesterday to pick up my contact order, she offered me to pull up to the curb and she'd bring the box out to me. She handed me the box and sent me home with a little chocolate! That made my day. Overall, the service here at Flores Optometry is amazing and I will continue to be a patient here forever. The other staff members are always VERY kind and helpful and it seems like they do a great job working together and enjoy working together. It's always a pleasant visit and great vibes. THANK YOU :)

They had great reviews and are close to home. I just picked up my first pair of perfect glasses from them! They have equipment my last optometrist did not have. Dr. Flores gave me a very thorough exam and worked with me to dial in my very difficult and different prescription. That was last year. This year, the same great customer service and exam doctor. I actually was able to "walk in" and be seen right after 9 this morning. I highly recommend this office for your eye care needs. Oh, they've got a nice selection of brand names...good stuff!

This is the first optometrist I've ever gone to. The office is located in Pelton Plaza which is a…read moresmall shopping area in downtown San Leandro. The office is in the corner but unfortunately parking can sometimes be very difficult to find. If there is parking, it's metered at about $1.50 per hour. The office itself is pretty small with four chairs for waiting and I think two or three cubicle-like exam rooms. The desk staff are usually pretty nice and accommodating, although I will say I've previously interacted with someone there who seemed really impatient with me which I didn't appreciate (not sure if they still work there now). The optometrists themselves are very professional and understanding, I've worked with two of them before and both were kind and explained everything to me that I needed to know! También ellos tienen traductoras por hispanohablantes. Since the office is small, the selection of glasses was small, too. I've gone before and they had almost no glasses on display, but today they had a bigger selection, just not as much as other places I've seen. They have a variety of brands like Gucci, Versace, Mont Blanc, Prada, etc.. I think the staff can help you select frames that are not on display either since they can access the website of frames. Overall this place has good service for optometry but may be inconvenient to access and can feel cramped at times. The selection of frames on display is OK at best but if you are really picky about your frames, you may want to look elsewhere.

I had my eye exam here and decided to skip the contact lens exam. However after that, Dr. Nguyen…read morestarted commenting on my makeup and lashes, which made the experience feel a bit awkward. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and professional!
