Could not find a physician anywhere who takes my insurance, Partnership. In desperation, I asked a friend who he went to see. This friend recommended Dr. E. Craig McCurdy. Realize, this eye was infected, flaming red, and in great pain. I needed help, like NOW. His empathetic receptionist, Cordy, could hear my pain and offered to "squeeze me in" on the very day I called. No waiting or anything. I made the timeslot at 3:45 p.m. I was out by 4:15 p.m. with my eye cleared, cleaned and cared for. The price was wonderfully reasonable due to lack of insurance and, I am confident, because of Dr. McCurdy's kind and generous spirit. As others have said, Dr. McCurdy's staff is excellent. The setting clean and comfortable. The Doctor - A true Physician and Outstanding.

The initial transaction/order went great and it went down hill from there. Pickup was a week later and the lenses were incorrectly installed so the clip wouldn't attach. They hadn't noticed. They sent them back to lab, 10 days later the "fixed" ones arrived with the same issue, albeit less severe. The lens/clip stayed on but still wasn't flush on the frame due to mis-installed lenses. I kept them for a few days thinking maybe it was okay but realized the misfit caused the clip to still fall off one side of the frame pretty easily, and the clip looked a little funny not being flush on the frame. I returned them again to be fixed. It's now 3 weeks after that second return (6 weeks since the initial order), they still hadn't called so I called them yet again, and they still can't tell me when they will arrive other than their standard answer of "maybe this week." I openly expressed my frustration today with the amount of time it's taken and the lack of communication on their part about what's going on. Instead of acknowledging my frustration, they changed the subject and made it very clear it's not their fault or problem (it's the lab's) and the familiar refrain, "we'll call you when they come in." If I don't have them by this week then I'll seek a refund, go elsewhere and either way, will never ever return.

BACKGROUND: I was trying to find an optometrist during the…read morelast half month of the year to get my eye exam and a new pair of glasses. Of course, everyone had the same thought and I was frantically trying to find a place that had an opening and one that would fit my schedule. I cross reference on VSP and Yelp for good reviews! I filled out their questionnaire to set up an appointment on their website. They called me to schedule an appointment and lucky for me, they had a cancellations the day they called me and it worked for me. Tip: ask to be put on a wait list for cancellations if you are flexible with appointments time and need one before a certain date. EXPERIENCE: 5 stars! I had Marissa Huang and she was sooo nice! I felt like they were considerate of all the covid precautions. I didn't have long waits nor did I feel rushed. I had my routine eye exam with dilation. Picked out a pair of glasses with blue light and anti-refractive coating. It was an easy process. Only thing is I wish they has the circular gold/silver frames. They also don't carry ray-bans. I ordered my glasses and picked it up in 2 weeks. They have their own parking lot. I would recommend this place!

Huang were our optometrists, it was great…read more One retired, one left and the replacement is really young (I don't even know her name). 3 tries to get my Rx right and it never happened. I demanded a refund to my insurance, took my Rx to Costco and purchased 3 pairs of glasses for the price of one at the doctor's office. We'll be searching for a new practice.

Shoutouts FYidoctors in San Rafael Whatever anyone thinks,…read morethis place will forever be my haven. I wasn't supposed to be here. I wasn't their patient. I didn't have an appointment. I hadn't purchased my glasses here. Until that day, I had never walked through their doors, let alone knew who they were. I was just someone driving to a wedding in an unfamiliar area when, without warning, the lens fell completely out of my prescription glasses. I've worn glasses virtually my entire life and never experienced anything like it. One second I'm dressed up, driving to a wedding and going about my day. The next I'm frantically looking for the nearest exit and closest shop that can urgently repair my glasses. You can 'see' how difficult and stressful this situation was, with a sprinkle of already being late to the ceremony.... It sounds almost funny afterward. In the moment, it wasn't. I put 20 minutes onto a parking meter and dashed off blindly for this store. Mind you, it was minutes before closing. I walked in, explained what had happened and prepared myself for all the perfectly reasonable questions: Are you a patient here? Did you buy these from us? Insurance? ID? Do you have an appointment? Instead, they just helped me. They took my glasses, put the lens back in and secured everything. Without me even asking, they inspected everything, checked the opposite side and tightened that screw too so I hopefully wouldn't find myself in the same predicament again. I offered to pay them. They wouldn't take a dime. I was in awe. I hadn't even expected them to take me, let alone be this attentive and caring. I wasn't looking for a freebie. At that moment, I didn't care what it cost. I was dressed for a wedding, away from home, and my glasses had catastrophically failed while I was driving. By the time I walked back around the corner to my car, I still had 9 minutes on the meter. But maybe the reason such a small interaction affected me so much is because of the contrast. This wasn't the first time these glasses had fallen apart. The 1st time this happened, I went back to the practice that actually sold them to me. I was their established patient, wearing glasses purchased from their office, and they still wouldn't let me do a walk-in. I had to go through the normal scheduling process to find an appointment time for a repair. Ridiculous. I remember joking with the opticians there, "Oh thank goodness it happened while I was safely at home. Imagine if my glasses suddenly fell apart while I was somewhere unfamiliar and actually needed them." Then they did. While I was driving, no less. I was nobody to these people. My own provider had every reason to consider these glasses, and me, their responsibility. This office had none. I cannot overstate how much that contrast floored me. A practice I had never given a dollar to treated my eyewear problem with a level of urgency, kindness and basic humanity that I hadn't experienced from the practice where I actually bought the glasses. That's why I'm writing so much about what was probably an incredibly ordinary few minutes in their workday. To them, maybe it was just tightening a screw and putting a lens back. To me, it was somebody coming through for me during a genuinely lousy moment when they had absolutely no obligation to. The ratings here are remarkably high. I've also seen the recent criticism from longtime patients who feel things have changed since the business changed hands. I'm not here to tell those people they're wrong. Their experiences are theirs. I'm here to add mine. And mine is admittedly unusual. I haven't had an eye exam here. I haven't ordered glasses here. I can't promise anybody what their experience with those services will be. But I can tell you something most reviews probably can't: I know how these people treated someone when they weren't their customer. If you're reading reviews trying to decide whether to give this practice a chance, that's the perspective I can offer you. Based on my experience alone, I'd feel comfortable giving them the opportunity to earn my business when I actually needed an optometrist. Maybe that's an unusually strong opinion to form from such a short interaction. But sometimes eleven minutes tells you a lot about a business. At least compared to the practice that sold me these glasses... I certainly found my haven.
