For what feels like forever and now he is seeing my toddler daughter. Today was their first appointment with each other and she did great and he was so gentle, kind, and warm with her. Highly recommend him! read more

I have been going to Dr. Su for my eye exams and all my lens needs. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient and detailed. If you're looking for a new optometrist I would definitely recommend Dr. Su, she's amazing. I last went in for an updated eye exam as I was getting headaches from my old prescription. We did the usually eye tests but Dr. Su took the time to explain the results afterwards. It was very insightful to understand how my prescriptions were calculated and cool see my eye balls magnified. Ultimately Dr Su helped me pick out the right prescription for my astigmatism and my headaches disappeared thereafter. Her team also helped explain my insurance plan and pick what was in my budget. It's a breath of fresh air to have such a personalized experience. read more

Thank you for always taking us as walk in, Definitely recommend this office, the staff is nice and friendly Dr. Su was patience with my baby. Thank you for making us feel welcome! read more

Dennis Lin Optometry - Optometrists Near Me - Monterey Park, California

From the start amazing service from the front desk to Dr. Dennis Lin! Very attentive and kind explaining every step and test that is being conducted. Even when I came on a day that was closed (my error lol) Dr Lin happened to be there on a day off and was kind to open for me and provide me my glasses and even conducted an ekg of my eyes. Also, wanted to mention and give big KUDDOS to Karen the manager for showing kindness and patience towards my mother and I when we when our glasses were not fitting that great. She got them to feel and look better!!! Amazing yeam! read more

This review is long overdue, but in short, Dr. Lin is an excellent optometrist and I visit annually to get my prescription updated. I was Dr. Lin's patient back when they were in the small plaza across from Atlantic Square. The original location and the current location are about the same distance from my house, however I prefer the parking situation at the original location. I understand they moved to expand the office space which is wonderful to see because Dr. Lin is amazing. He is patient, gentle, and personable. His office had the necessary equipment to capture images of the shadow in my vision from a few years ago. Dr. Lin remained calm, examined my images, and gave me recommendations for several ophthalmologists. His knowledge and presence made me feel at ease. For the past few couple of years, I started seeing Dr. Su instead of Dr. Lin. Dr. Su is just as knowledgeable and patient as Dr. Lin. She recommended I keep my current prescription since my vision is stable and I work on computers daily. Things to note: Scheduling appointments are easy to do over the phone. My eye exams come with a $20 copay + $39 for imaging through my insurance. They accept payment through Zelle, cash, or card with a 3% transaction fee. They provide free WiFi because cellphone reception is spotty in this area. Selection of glasses frames are limited, but you're free to take your prescription to Costco or other locations to get your frames. Parking is located on the street in front or in the back lot. read more

Thank You Dr. Su for having the patience and well communication with my son with disability (Deaf plus). You are the best. Dr. Lin is my number one recommended optometrist office. They have the best services, they welcome you as soon as you enter the door, very friendly, smiles that brightness your surroundings. Thanks to the staff for also providing us with information and the next step for my kiddos eye care. read more

Wonderful experience taking my daughter for her eye exam. The doctor was extremely patient and kind. Scheduling the appointment was a breeze and an appointment was available within the same week. The directions lead you to the back entrance, which isn't open to enter. We parked in the back (very limited parking in the back) and luckily an employee was walking in and unlocked it. Park on Atlantic to save you any trouble. read more

I totally understand why Dr. Lin has 5 star reviews. He is definitely going to be my optometrist for all my future annual exams. He is very patient and attentive. It was nice that he didn't rush the eye exam like most of the optometrists that I have seen. I admire his bedside manners. He had a very sweet and smooth voice while taking the exams. I loved his wonderful attitude. I have seen optometrists more often than most since there was a time in which my vision was constantly changing due to my loss of my central vision in my right eye. It was nice that his office texted me the forms that needed to be filled out. It was nice that I was able to look for eyeglasses that I would like to purchase while I was waiting for my eyes to be exams. I love one-stop shop locations. I would highly recommend Dr. Lin and all of his employees! read more

I can't say enough about Dr. Lin's practice! I saw Dr. Lin a few years ago, and decided to go back to him for my annual eye exam. I was out of contact lenses, and asked if they could fit me in asap--the office was kind enough to squeeze me in today! I was taken in to the exam room right away, and we reviewed my medications, and I was asked if I was experiencing any symptoms/eye issues, etc. Then I went over to take the Glaucoma test, the Visual Field test, and a few other tests. Then I met with Dr. Lin, who performed the Visual Acuity test, the Slit-Lamp test, and a few other comprehensive tests which were appropriate for my recent symptoms. Dr. Lin was incredibly patient with me--we reviewed the results of the computerized test results, and he explained the results of each test. I was not rushed, and Dr. Lin made sure to answer my questions. I am so impressed by Dr. Lin. His office has state of the art testing equipment, and they also have a nice selection of glasses. I am so happy that I have decided to return to Dr. Lin. I highly recommend his office, and the staff are wonderful! Please don't hesitate to go see Dr. Lin if you're looking for a terrific optometrist. read more

I've been coming to Dr. Lin for over ten years now and It's been a great experience. They always squeeze me in when I need last minute appointments because I suffer from a lot of eye issues due to my allergies. I feel over the years he has heard what I needed and provided positive recommendations ! I appreciate he explains things in detail and he is very patient with any questions I have. Other eye doctors are not as welcoming to questions! Although I think Dr. Su is really nice, I overall will continue to see Dr. Lin since I value his professional opinion for my specific eye problems. The only con is they are not open everyday but It has never caused any problems for myself! read more

Took my son in for an eye infection and had a great experience. Karen at the front desk was kind, welcoming, and made the check-in process smooth. Dr. Lin was extremely helpful and gentle with my son, thorough in his explanation, and made sure we felt comfortable with the treatment plan. So grateful for the care and attention we received. Highly recommend this optometrist! read more

I would like to say that I had such a positive experience here. Booking the appointment was fast and easy. No wait time the day of the appointment. Staff is very knowledgeable about insurance questions and glasses. They were also very transparent about my insurance copayments. Doctor did an excellent job explaining everything in the exam room. read more

As a long time patient, I can always count on Dr. Lin and Dr. Su for my eye exams. Office is always clean and makes me feel welcomed as soon as I walk in. Appointment dates are always fast and there's usually little to no wait time. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Cute frame selections and they take a variety of private and government insurances. Can't wait for my next visit! read more

Dr. Lin is an amazing and attentive provider. He has always taken the time to answer questions and provide personalized care. The staff at the office go above and beyond to assist in appointment making and are always friendly and willing to help.

Dr. Lin has been a family optometrist for years. My son was diagnosed with Leukemia and got toxicity to his eyes from Chemotherapy, hospital appointments were cancelled and long wait to see my son. Took him with Dr. Lin and my son now is in so much comfort and relief after being treated with Dr. Lin from bacteria and itching to his eyes. Dr. Lin is very attentive and empathetic with children . Thank you Dr. Lin! read more

Amazing service all staff are very attentive and caring. The office is very clean and I cannot say enough how amazing Dr. Lin is. He will go above and beyond and make sure he does his absolute best to provide outstanding service. I would also like to note I am a Kerataconus patient and went in for a Sclerals fitting and it was by far the best fitting I have received by a mile! I would recommend this to any KC sufferer in need of a very gifted Scleral fitter. Thank you Dr.Lin! read more

BEWARE: This place is a CRIMINAL SCAM OPERATION. My insurance already covered the glasses exam, and they charged me an additional $150 for the contact lens prescription even though it was part of the same exam. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!! read more

Highly Recommend. Dr. Lin is a great Optometrist. He is very thorough with eye exams and listens to your concerns. If he notices any changes, he gives advice on preventive measures and takes notes on certain areas to pay attention to at the next visit. His entire staff is welcoming and courteous. My husband and I, have never had an issue on our visits. He has been our Optometrist for 5+ years or more. Not even sure. If we have any questions, we can trust the staff to be knowledgeable and precise. No cut corners or mediocre here. He can be quite busy on weekends. Appointments in advance are highly suggested. Try to park in the enclosed parking structure. There are time restrictions to the parking outside of the plaza. read more

The Best Optometrist Doctor! He will even explain everything to u. He is taking his time to make sure u know how to properly take care of your eyes. read more

The office is located in a small plaza but there is ample parking in the garage and it is free to park. The inside has nice air conditioning and was clean. On the side they have a wide selection of glasses. Appointments are recommended. Also due to covid, only people with an appointment can wait inside. If you're early, you can walk around the plaza. There is a vast variety of shops and services. read more

I rarely give out 5-stars reviews but had to give it to Dr. Lin and his amazing staff. I was looking for a new optometry to get new prescription since my last exam was quite awhile ago. His office has a lot of five stars and I was a bit hesitant b/c most of the times 5 stars ain't 5 stars haha. The process was smooth. Made an appointment online, got a confirmation phone call and followed up by an email/text reminder. They are definitely practicing safety awareness during the pandemic. They check your temperature before providing any services and the machines are all disinfected after each patient. I really appreciate Dr. Lin's soft spoken and humorous personality. He makes you feel comfortable and does not rush thru the exams like most other places I've been to. I'd definitely recommend this place to any new peeps! read more

It was my first time here at Dennis Lin Optometry and I have nothing but absolute praise for this place! The staff were polite and they were careful in guiding me to where I needed to be and if I had any questions they made sure I was answered, even when there were clearly a lot of other duties they had to do multi-tasked. Dennis Lin himself is just a ball of sunshine and he was so patience in explaining to me all the questions I had. I was there for quite some time, I did the general eye examination, the pupil dilation, and a bunch of other machinery for my condition. Dr. Lin was there every step to answer my concerns, and if there are questions he wasn't sure about, he'd let me know and that I can look further at an Ophthalmologist (which he recommended one). All in all, if you are looking for a down-to-earth, family-type, professional and orderly optometry I'd definitely recommend this location! Thanks again Dr. Lin and staff! read more

Dennis Lin Optometry - Optometrists Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I recently got my Lasik surgery, I was recommended to Dr. Lin's office by NVision. I'm so happy NVision recommended me to Dr. Lin because he is just so sweet and has been such a great support going through this procedure. He shared with me that he got the surgery in 2013 with NVision. So he was able to share his experience and that honestly made me feel less anxious and nervous. I knew I was in good hands! I have a couple follow up appointments left but I am SO HAPPY with the results. Thank you Dr. Lin for helping me say goodbye to my glasses! read more

Dr. Lin and his team are amazing! Everyone on the team is very professional and knows exactly what they're doing. They're very friendly and answered all my questions. Dr. Lin made me feel comfortable in the office and asked if I wanted to try contacts. I let him know I was hesitant so he didn't pressure me at all and is very understanding. Will be back next year! read more

I went to Dr. Lin twice, both times medical: 1) a tiny debris went into my eye during a windstorm with excruciating pain, didn't get out until the next morning, and eye was terribly irritated. Went to Dr. Lin because he was close to work just to have it checked out. He was so detailed and meticulous during the exam, even took pictures of my eyeball to show the numerous scratches the debris made due to me rubbing. Gave me prescription to prevent infections and reassured me that the eyeball heals itself within 72 hours. 2) Woke up with a puffy and red lid and went to Dr. Lin again. When he saw my eye, he knew that it was a plugged duct, but still thoroughly examined my eye. Told me to use warm wash cloth to help losen the duct and that if it doesn't clear up, then he will check again. Luckily, it cleared up. After these 2 positive experiences, we took my 4 year-old to Dr. Lin as a second opinion. Again, Dr. Lin was not only patient and meticulous, he was great with my son! I felt that his diagnosis was so much more thorough than the pediatric ophthalmologist that we went to. It made more sense, and Dr. Lin took the time to talk and explain to us. Three words that describe Dr. Lin: patient, meticulous, thorough. That's what I look for in any doctor. His staff was also terrific! They were kind and patient as well. I didn't even need to print out the new patient forms! Simply completed online, emailed back, and the staff printed the forms out for me! When we got there, everything was ready to go. Highly recommend. Plus, COVID compliant. *Note: only thing that bothered me was the parking... There is a large parking structure, but the parking lot itself near the businesses is usually packed and very busy. A suggestion would be go in the early morning or right after lunch. read more

Visit was good and fast however I missed my appointment due to Covid and I was charged 20$ per child even though I had medical

I actually called 5 different optometrists to ask if they accept Medical & they didn't offer any coverage for me. However, I called Dennis Lin's Optometry & the staff were able to accept Medical & set up an appointment for me. My experience here was sooo amazing! The opticians are so incredibly nice & helpful. Dr. Dennis Lin made me feel very comfortable & was very welcoming! Although I came in for a general eye exam, I told him that I was interested in getting contacts in the future. He let me try on contacts just so I could get a mini experience of what it's like! Everything was handled so smoothly & there were no complications that I encountered. Absolutely love the staff and the doctor here! My previous optometrist was terrible. Glad I was able to find this place (': I even got a free shirt!!!!! Love this read more

I been taking my kids here for about 10 years. Dr. Lin really knows how to deal with them and make them feel safe and at ease. I really like that he takes his time to make sure their prescription is accurate. The only thing I don't like is that they have limited options for insurance covered glasses. read more

First year back to see their new location. Staff is sweet as always. Very professional when I need my check ups. Clean and nice ambience. Been coming here since I was a child. Waiting in the exam room and a different optometrist walks in. Forgot her name but she was sweet and nice. Was sad that It was not Dennis, no offense : D Dennis is the best! read more

I was ready to try a new optometrist so I came on yelp and read how this optometry was great and had 5 stars so I gave them a try, this was the best decision I have made. The office looks clean the staff is so attentive and polite. Dr. Lin was so so nice and explained everything so well. I have found our new Optometrist.The reason I didn't give them a 5 star is because parking is not that great. read more

This is my new Optometrist. It took me so many tries at so many different offices before finding these folks since I've moved to this area. All the staff are extremely helpful. I recently brought my daughter & my mother in law here when they needed glasses. My mother in law was very happy with their service as well. Great place. read more

Very bad experience with their services. I called them for an appointment. The first receptionist asked me some questions and she said she needed to check my insurance; then, she put me on hold. I have been waited for them almost 30 minutes, but nobody took care of my phone anymore. I had to hand up the phone and called them back again. Another receptionist picked up my call and asked me the same questions again. I told her another receptionist was taking care of me and asked her if she could help to ask the previous receptionist about my case. She said their 5 receptionists were busy and she could help me. I said if she could find the first receptionist and asked if the first receptionist already verified my insurance; then, I didn't need to wait for another 30 minus. She just ignored my request and continued to ask my information. I don't want to repeat my information again, again (who knows if she put me on hold and never get me back again). I told her I disappointed with their service and I would leave. She said "Sounds good". Hahaa..., they are happy their patient is leaving!!! (Are they such busy? Don't like to keep their patients.). I don't want to give any stars, but the system won't allow. So, just click a star. read more

This is probably the best optometrist that I have ever been to. They have a very affordable selection of glasses; they have glasses in three prices ranges. Very nice and friendly staff, they educate you through out the while process. Meaning, they'll tell you what each machine does and what its for. Oh and Dr. Lin!? Mann, really nice guy same thing, explains the whole process. The really cool thing about Dr. Lin is that he pretty much explains the whole process in Layman's terms. Overall great place, my insurance got me a good discount so I bought two pairs of glasses and I was able to get one of them the same day! The other pair took like 4 days? And they told me it might take two weeks? Pfff sounds like a great place. read more

Why didn't I switch to this doctor earlier? I'd been going to Linden Optometry for more than 10 years but recently I switched because of yelp. Thank you yelp for helping me find this doctor. I called this place to make an appointment for my eye exam. I got in on that day without waiting. I asked over the phone for contact lenses pricing. They called me back with the pricing and patiently gave me the breakdown. My eye exam was fast. Filling out the paperwork was fast too. Christine helped me with some of the eye exams then the doctor took over. Doctor Lin gave me free contact samples so I could compare and decide which one was good for me. He gave me time to call back and ordered the contacts over the phone. The office followed up with me and told me that my contacts are not in stock and to stop by their office if I needed more contacts right now. Few days later I got another call telling me that my contacts are ready for pick up. Now that's what I call customer service. 5 stars from me!! read more

Dennis Lin Optometry - Optometrists Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Honestly, I hardly ever write reviews unless businesses really gave me a hard time. I usually have lukewarm feelings about places too. However, I was really pleasantly surprised when I came here for the first time. Everything and every procedure was explained coherently and thoroughly so that I could know what was going on. I really appreciate the fact that I was asked on my knowledge of something rather than the possible assumption I didn't know about something. The place was clean, I did not have to wait long at all, the staff was very helpful and attentive, and everyone was patient. It also helped that I got my new glasses the day of instead of in a week. I wish I remembered her name since it was a week ago but I think her name was Berna. She was really nice and attentive with helping me choose glasses that best suited my face shape as well as what styles are hip nowadays *elderly lady voice*. Dennis was also very, very kind and helpful. He asked me about other things like where I went to school and offered advice. It is really nice to know someone cares about his patients holistically instead of just trying to git er done. read more
