Came in for my annual eye exam and had a great experience. Dr. Tran was kind and professional, and the front desk staff were very friendly and responsive, which made the whole visit smooth and stress-free as always. I also noticed they've added a nice selection of new branded frames, and the pricing felt very reasonable. Would definitely recommend. read more

Excellent provider! She was referred to be by a friend in Massachusetts! They got me into the office the very next day to ensure I didn't have a scleral burn or scratch after I accidentally got something caustic in my eye. Very competent, friendly staff. Bilingual staff, too! Highly recommend! read more

No vayan a esta oficina si tienen resequedad en los ojos está doctora no tiene experiencia para eso. después de 2 cesiones y $1000 mis ojos estaban iguales. NO RECOMIENDO. Do not go to this doctor if you suffer from dry eyes she has no experienced. After 2 sessions and $1000 my dry eyes remained the same. Very misleading. read more

Very nice and helpful. Walked me through the process, very understanding and patient. Nice welcoming environment with a wide selection of frames to choose from! read more

This place w is superb!!! I enjoy every visit with friendly , kind and caring staff. Recently my father had broken his favorite glasses and they were able to fix them on the spot at no cost since it just needed a slight adjustment. Dr. Mimi Tran is very helpful, kind and professional. I have been going here for years with my family and get special treatment every time. read more

Dr Mimi Tran is the best! Such a friendly positive doctor and so knowledgeable! Got my dry eye treated here and I can't recommend enough!

Dr. Tran and her staff are the best in town! Even these days working with covid-19 restrictions, she was able to see me as a walk-in, without an appointment. She is so kind and patient, she listened carefully to all of my concerns and answered all of my questions thoroughly. The office was clean and everyone was wearing masks, the office is spacious and social distancing wasn't awkward or uncomfortable. CAre was taken after each exam to clean and disinfect before the next person went into the exam room. A few days later, I have a new prescription and what a difference it has made in my daily life. read more

Dr.Mimi is amazing ! She is very patient, and listens to you. My daughter had the wrong prescription glasses for over two years, and Dr. Mimi decided to dilate her eyes in order to get more precise results. Sure enough my daughter ended up with the right glasses for her! Not to mention the fact that my other two girls are 5 year old twins, and she was so nice and caring with them during their exams! I highly recommend this clinician, she knows her work. I have to say she is amazing with people, and she has tons of frames available to pick from! Location is easy to access with tons of parking on the street. read more

Both my husband and I visited Dr. Tran back in July of 2009, she was so helpful in answering all of our questions and providing all the information there is to know about taking good care of your eyes. Dr. Tran is so bubbly and down to earth!! One of the best Optometrists out there!! At First Bristol Optometry, they provide excellent service and the staffs are extremely friendly. I highly recommend it!!! read more

Not only is Dr. Tran the MOST THOROUGH doctor of any kind I have ever visited--Mimi is a warm and caring optometrist who loves life, and most of all--helping others keep their eyes healthy. First Bristol Optometry accepts all types of insurance and very affordable rates! She is very sharp in her examination than any optometrist I had --for sure! Mimi is truly a one of a kind find--referred to me by my cousin, who has been her patient for years. Eye exams are serious. Glaucoma needs to be diagnosed and screened by a true professional--not some whiz-bang slop jobber plucked off the turnip truck of optometry. A full exam will cost you $89.00........but I do not have specific eye insurance coverage--so you may pay less. I am so impressed with my visit and hope you see Dr. Tran And if you can't see her it is probably because you need glasses and she is more than happy to help you find some. PS. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I CAN SEEE NOW!! read more

So nice , the doctor is amazing and nice and goes out of her way for the patient. A good selection of glasses , the contact training is amazing to very patient. read more

I been going with Dr Mimi Tran to get an eye exam for 5 years now and I love her she's the best eye doctor I have ever known. She's very caring and answers all my questions. I had an eye style that she help me get treated. She does an excellent eye exam and contacts fitting because she takes her time. I have concerns about getting Lasik in the future but she is very honest and she wants me to wait until my eye vision is stable. $99 for the exam and glasses is not a bad deal. They still have Ray-Ban Oakley Versace and now Michael Kors, Tory Burch and Guess. If you can't afford she had a variety of generic brand. Can't go wrong. read more

Dr.Tran is friendly, skilled, genuine and awesome !! I lost my expensive-ass glasses, so I was in need of a cheap practical pair ASAP. Last time I spent about $600 for a new pair of glasses about one year ago, so I didn't wanna spend another $600 again. ( and I was stupid enough to buy that from very hipster shop in Abbot Kinney) Thank god I found Dr.Tran. She takes time for eye exam and gives you detailed information for your eye-health. Their location and atmosphere is very Latin community-oriented. Hence all the signs are in Spanish. However, don't let that part change your mind! ( don't think you are not invited if you don't read Spanish ) Dr.Tran gives you superb care and service. They have special for new clients which you can get an eye exam and glasses from $99. I chose a plastic frame so it was $130 + whatever lens upgrade you want. They have so many different kinds of frames, I'm pretty sure you will find the " one " that fits you. Overall, I could get a professionally fitted pair of glasses for under $200, and I'm very happy about that! read more

Honestly the best optometrist office you can find in Santa Ana. Kind and friendly Dr. The staff was okay. The only thing that I would change would be the frame selection. It is lacking, like a lot. Also, they are not open everyday. read more

Dr. Tran is amazing! She is super nice and really knows her stuff. I found out she went to New England School of Optometry since we both had gone to school in Boston. That's actually where my previous eye doctor went to optometry school, which is awesome! She was super thorough and was able to detect a small change in my prescription. You can tell she really cares about her patients. My eyes are pretty stable but they do change slightly every year. My only comment is that she doesn't dilate your pupils, but I hate doing that so I'm glad she doesn't do it for me regularly. At my younger age, with little health risks, I also don't think it's necessary for each and every visit. If you have specific health concerns, you should talk about them with her. See guide from Mayo Clinic regarding pupil dilation: http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/eye-exam/expert-answers/eye-dilation/faq-20057882 Logistics: Her office is a little hard to find and it is also right next to a smoke shop, but don't be put off by the sort-of-sketchy surroundings. The parking lot directly in front of the building is small and is mostly either short-term parking or handicap spots. I recommend parking in the larger lot to the side of the building, at the corner of N. Western Ave and W. 1st Street. Then you have a short walk over to Dr. Tran's building. Also, she is open late on Monday nights and open Saturdays, which is really important for people who have to work during the week! Thank you Dr. Tran! read more

Dr. Tran will take her time with you whether to examine or going over any concerns you might have. She is friendly and genuinely cares about each of her patients. I will most definitely come back to her annually to get check. Thank you so much Dr. Tran! read more

Great doctor!!! I been with doctor Tran for 3 years and every time I get my eyes check makes me feel like she actually cares. she asked me about my health and about any eye problems i was having. She took her time and was very through. They have a wide variety of frames to choose from... I'm taking all my family... definitely recommend Dr Tran.. read more

Mimi helped me restore my vision. I once again can see thru walls and burn things with my eyes. - Clark Kent. But for reals. I drive from Pasadena just to see her, because of her such excellent care. read more

Went here for a eye exam recently, very good service. And Dr. Tran was very helpful and informative. I recommend everyone to get your eye exams there. and they have a large selection of frames @ great prices. Thanks again, First Bristol Optometry!!! read more

I made an appointment for eye exam, even though I was the only one, I had to wait a while. I was sitting on the chair already when the doctor told me the equipment was broken and she has to do the exam in the old fashion way. I was very upset and disappointed because I was expecting my eyes checked with the new equipment. I don't know why this doctor didn't call and inform me about their equipment ' s problem. Should be the patient's decision if we wanted the service or not. I had to pay for the exam like my eyes were check by the new equipment. They have a lot of old style glasses, ugly, and expensive. I don't recommended this place. read more

One thing about the yelp reviews they are unforgiving and will be really truthful good or bad.... so when a business has five stars with consistency you know they earned it. Had a good experience here will come back. read more

I love this place!! Mimi is amazing! I definitely recommend this business to everyone! She is very personal and takes her time to understand your concerns! I am very sensitive about my vision as I have been dealing with bad vision for years since I was about 3 years old. But Mimi always finds ways to help me find contacts and glasses that suit my needs. Please go and try seeing her for your vision needs! I'm a loyal customer and continue to recommend her to everyone I know! :) read more

I took my mom here to get her eyes checked. My mom does not speak a word of English and Dr Tran was able to communicate with her in Spanish which made my mom feel at ease. Turns out my mom did not need new glasses and Dr Tran recommended vitamins for Glaucoma and even gave her free samples! We will definitely come back to First Bristol Optometry. read more

Very thorough eye exam. Gathered medical history to note special risks. She provided teaching regarding any risks and precautions related to lifestyle or medical conditions. Very reasonable price. No shady gimmicks or funny business that you might get in the popular chains. I highly recommend this place. read more

I don't have a vision plan so I was looking for the cheapest possible option in my area. I thought that cheaper meant subpar service , but Dr. Tran and her staff were extremely helpful, professional, and thorough. I was in and out real fast and got everything I needed. I highly recommend this place, very happy with Dr. Tran and will continue coming here annually. read more

Dr. Tran and her staff are the most kind, compassionate, and professional optometry establishment in town! I have worn eye contacts for the past 8 years and recently started experiencing severe dryness that was becoming bothersome in my day to day life. I could not stand having my eye contacts in and was bothered by wearing my strong thick prescription eyeglasses. Dr. Tran put me on a specialized program that helped me recover my vision and recommended eye contacts that would suit me much better. It's been a few weeks now and my eyes feel AMAZING!! I am incredibly grateful for the service offered here! read more

I just came out of this place and it was great ! all the reviews were very helpfull ... I do recommend this place ;p im so happy with my contacts read more

I love it here. I felt so comfortable and was educated on how to keep my contact lenses from being dried up. Process of going in and out was simple and fast. read more

Dr. Tran is a great Optometrist and I have been going to her for years, I use to go when she was working at the Wal-Mart store in the City of Industry and then she got her own practice in Santa Ana. Let's just say I will drive miles for this Doctor. Very detailed and never had any complaints. read more

Went back for my yearly exam. Pretty much in and out. I usually go on week days, so I can't relate to the weekends.Honestly, she needs a "OC best eye doctor award." Pros: - Dr. Tran is AWESOME! - She explains everything very well, and wants you to understand how your eyes work. - Lots of parking spaces, located right next to the building. - Staff is also very nice. Cons: Area is a bit shady. sometimes there's people hanging out in the rear parking lot. I'd suggest parking the front. read more

Awesome place to go too excellent service .. Dr.Tran is very good in checking the eyes and always make sure the patients come out happy=).. the girls that work there are very nice and polite. always ready to help others and answer questions. SO people get your check here!!! read more

I needed a backup pair of glasses for driving at night. Large selection non-name brand frames. Helpful Staff... Got an exam and basic glasses for $99. The doctor was very knowledgeable.. Easy experience..Great office... read more

Horrible place with horrible staff! Little girl in the front named Vinaey or something told me I am eligible for my free eye exam so I make an appointment, then I come to my schedule appointment and all of a sudden I am not. I waited for 1 week for my eye exam and got there 15min early and she tells me nope it's not covered. So I call my insurance and sure enough they said I'm covered and all she had to do was call them like i told her they wanted her to do. So my insirance wanted to speak to this place and to this girl in the front desk and told her that I am good to go. So after she gets put in her place she says my appointment since I "missed" it, which was her fault, is rescheduled for another week and i did this all just 5 minutes past my appoinment time and others took my spot. Really?!! So its my fault and i get this all taken care of and sorted out fast and easy and only 5 min passed my appointment time and i have to wait again when all she had to do was her job. Wow, because of they're laziness and their unprofessional staff I have to wait to see and drive and basically work for another week. Horrible! Never come here. This place just spews out ghetto and attitude. read more
