I was needing to have my annual eye exam, and decided to try this place simply because of the awesome Star Trek interior. Haha. I have to say the level of detail they put into recreating the Star Trek theme was amazing. The visit was pretty fast and enjoyable. I met with the doctor quickly, and he gave good suggestions for my updated prescription. He was very friendly and great to chat with. They also had a decent selection of frames to choose from. Overall a very cool place to visit for an eye exam. If you're a movie geek like me, you'll love it here. If not, it's still enjoyable! read more

The geek level in this office is way out in the universe. I love it, t's unique and great. I've been going here for years. Definitely a recommended Optometrist. The techs who work the front are amazing, they tend your needs, assist you. They contact you promptly to either remind you of appointments, follow up, pick up prescription, etc. They're accommodating Dr. Wada and Dr. Jean are wonderful as well. They will answer your questions and they will recommend what's best for you. read more

I came in today because I had something embedded in my eye. I'm not good with eye stuff...anyways Dr. Jimmy Quang took a look at my eye and found a piece of metal and rust. Within 15 minutes I was tiny metal and rust free. Like I said earlier, I'm not good with eye stuff. I started to have a physical response to the removal which I thought was a panic or anxiety attack, and Dr. Quang was really amazing with his support and ability to calm me down and honestly made me feel safe, kind of weird for a grown man to say. I would recommend this place, they didn't ask me to make a review, this is solely because I had an amazing experience for what it was and that was thanks to Dr. Quang. Thank you read more

Dr Wada has been out family's optometrist for over 20 years. He is kind, professional, thoughtful, attentive and thorough. His staff is helpful and outstanding in their communication. Whenever we leave his office, we feel like our eyes have been given a great service. I highly recommend Dr. Wada. read more

I am a long time patient of Wada Optometry, even before the Starship was built, but it adds a touch of class to his practice and I love it. If you are looking for excellent eye care just like for your medical and dental issues this is the place. Wada is a cut above the rest in his field. He does not raise the bar, he IS the bar. From the brick and mortar to staff and service there is none better. I was diagnosed with diabetes and encountered some drastic vision changes requiring quick attention as vision is very important to my industry employment. I called and expressed my circumstances and Dr, Wada and staff went out of their way to help when they were not obligated to. Additionally, the empathy and compassion from Ann (office staff) and the doctor can only be compared to that of the best of medical care. I have worked more than a decade in the medical industry and my experience is more than five star but that is all that is available. To the people that give one or two or even three stars I offer this: "If you had a problem with the practice and did not give them the opportunity to correct it, shame on you. The fault might be something you did or didn't do or say before you reviewed his practice, but maybe you are the type that does not take ownership for your actions and blames others. And lastly, they are people like you and me and people make mistakes as none of us walk on the water in our bath tubs." Lastly, I am sorry for being so long winded, I just want to give a heart felt THANK YOU to Dr. Wada and the staff that protect my vision needs. I believe you are the best and I would not trust something as important as my eye health to a practice I found on the internet or yellow pages. Sincerely, John Tayrien (Andy) read more

I recently went to Disneyland with the family and woke up to my horror on the first morning to realize I left my contacts behind. After calling around, Wada Optometry came to the rescue with a few trial lenses to get me through the trip. They truly saved my vacation. I am forever grateful for their generosity. read more

Love you guys! Best optometrist ever!! We've been coming here for years and I never want to find another office... EVER! Frame selection keeps growing every time I come in. Very good selection. read more

Save your time and money and go somewhere else. Service was subpar and not worth what I had to pay for. I get that you're into Star Trek, but this has to be the most unprofessional and aesthetically unappealing office I've ever seen in my opinion. The front desk girl wasn't helpful either. Total waste of time altogether if you ask me. read more

Not only is Dr Wada a doctor, he's a graduate of The Starfleet Academy! I've been getting my peepers checked by Dr Wada for 12 years so far. My initial reason for choosing his office was his super close proximity to my house. The office was super bland on the outside. Inside it's a spaceship, right out of Star Trek! Dr Wada is an awesome doctor who always makes sure I understand what my eyeballs are up to. A few years ago my eyes were burning, my doctor gave me eye drops. They totally made me feel like I was going blind. I was able to get an appointment that day. He fixed me and even gave me free samples to save from having to buy the eye drops. His newer office is even more fantastic! Yes, the variety of glasses isn't big. They have catalogs where you can order your dream pair. I've recommended the office to many of my friends. They continue to come here year after year. I always look forward to my goody bag when I leave! read more

Live Long and Prosper...with the correct eyewear! Dr. Wada is a Trekkie, no if, ands, or buts about it. Take a look at the inside of his office and you know I ain't lying! The good doc is super nice and so are his office assistants. They are available to help you when you need it without harassing you. My and my mom's experience here was very pleasant and I think we've finally found our family optometrist! We're planning on taking my dad here but not tell him about the...ahem...decor so we can get an honest opinion. read more

Great experience with very high technology, thank you guys ! I recommended this place

I have been going to Dr. Wada since I was maybe 11 or so .. when he was at his old Anaheim location by the Japanese market. I have had nothing but great experiences there. I recently came into some bad eye issues and Dr. Wada was very candid and honest with me about the issue and ways to cure/treat it. He gave me the attention and answers I was looking for. I had been referred by my primary physician to go to an opthamologist specialist and had no luck getting answers or kind words from her. She was really not concerned about giving me answers or explaining anything. Everytime I left her office I left confused and scared and just not satisfied with the attention I was given. Dr. Wada has always been nice and friendly and honest. He doesn't make you get glasses if you dont' need them, he makes your glasses work for your job, he finds you the right glasses for your job and lifestyle also. He is very nice and great for kids or adults. If you are in the market for a new eye doctor he is great. The ONLY negative thing about this office is that the eye glass selection is not very large. He has a lot of the same type of styles, but if you want a different or trendy look just take your prescription to lenscrafters or somewhere else. Otherwise A+ read more

I stopped in yesterday as a new patient and was blown away by the Star Trek themed office! So cool!! Dr. Wada and his staff are exceedingly friendly and made me feel very comfortable. read more

This place is the best, most friendly staff I have ever met and awesome doctor. Dr. Wada as so helpful and got me into new contacts to correct for my vision. His staff is great there attitude and willingness to help. Love the decor it is all Star Trek the next generation. Found a common love of star trek tng and voyager with the doc. Will recommend this place to everyone read more

Wada Optometry - Office pic - Optometrists Near Me - Anaheim, California

I found my new optometrist! Though the selection of frames could be better, the services offered here will bring me back for my regular check-ups. Very good service from the staff as a whole, from the receptionist to the optometrist. They have a very cool theme inside going on inside that is inspired by Star Trek. They do just about everything here eye related here as far as check-ups go, including peripheral vision tests and checking the nerves and eye pressure. read more

Dr. Wada's office is great, to start it looks like you've walked into a ride at Disneyland. The way it's decorated like Star Trek. Dr. Wada helped diagnosed my Pterygium, and helped calm my nerves about having my eyes dilated for the first time. I was grateful to have such a great experience with this optometrist. read more

Wada Optometry - Star Trek themed! - Optometrists Near Me - Anaheim, California

It was my son and daughter's first experience and I wanted to make sure they enjoyed it. Dr Wada and his team made it very enjoyable and painless. Never felt rushed and took us all in. He was able to answer all of our questions and then some. Selection of frames is huge. We especially liked the Oakley and Tiffany selections. Will certainly return. read more

Coolest place to come get your eyes checked and glasses done. Super nice people and always an amazing place to go see. Highly recommended!!

This place is super futuristic which is really cool. I got greeted right away by the friendly staff. Dr. Wada was really nice and informative. Will definitely be coming here from now on! read more

What a fantastic experience. I'm a huge Trek fan and decided to leave my eye doctor of about 10 years to try Dr Wada's place and I don't regret it! The screen accurate props are too cool. The monitors have accurate LCARS animations and the audio to match. You feel like you're on a star ship. The doctor himself is very knowledgeable and did a great job with the exam. He also uses a lot of high tech gear that I haven't seen at other optometry offices. On a geeky note, he stopped at one point to show me his EMH Holographic Emitter that was next to the exam chair. How cool is that? read more

I have been coming to this place off and on for years. I have never ever had a bad experience. Everybody is so kind, and the place is so cool looking. You look like you walked into a spaceship from Star Trek. If you're in this area please come see them! read more

The Theme is genius and the service is quick and helpful, just the way I like it. Wada gave me advice for my concern and also gave me a solution for my eyes when I have allergies. The receptionist that assisted me also helped me choose glasses that fit for my face. My only con is that it's a bit tough to choose glasses when my eyes are dialated 0_0 read more

Dr. Wada is fantastic! He's friendly and knowledgeable, and doesn't treat you like an idiot. I love that he takes the time to explain things, and he's got a great sense of humor. Also, the office is a real treat! It's not cheesy, but it's also not just a boring medical office. it's fun and playful and makes you look forward to getting your eyes examined. The staff is super friendly and we'll definitely be back. read more

I'm not from California, but actually from Michigan. I've always had eye care for the extent of my life; I'm lucky enough to say that I've always had solid insurance. Dr. Wada has been the most thorough Optometrist by far. I didn't really know what to expect besides a cool waiting room... But that wasn't all that blew my mind. Seriously, one can tell he appreciates his work. He did more during my exam than any other optometrist thus far. His process includes double, triple checking whatever it takes, and then a run through the equipment with your prescription equipped. I knew I was going to leave a review when I noticed how surprised I was at the time. So, yep! He's a super nice guy with a super cool office. Most importantly though, his protocol is awesome and full of good vibes. read more

Love this place! The whole process was wonderful. Easy, friendly check-in. Minimal waiting for the Doctor. The techs were great. They explained everything before they started. Dr Wada is exceptional! He took time to explain all the results and options and spent extra time explaining new options that might be available, the pros and cons. They have a great selection of frames and are very helpful.I had an excellent experience as a first time patient and will most certainly go back again in the future. read more

One of the best if not the best places for eye care. Friendly optometrist. Unique office environment. Friendly staff. Highly recommend. read more

This has to be one of the most exciting places I have been to recently. Whenever someone thinks of going to the optometrist they picture a boring medical office type of setting but not Wada Optometry. They make it an experience, a Star Trek experience. The staff were very helpful as was the doctor. It was so much fun that I can not wait to have to go back. I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs to go to the optometrist. read more

Wada Optometry made it so. There was a limited amount of time between my visit to Dr. Wada and a planned vacation. Finished glasses deliveries have been slowed by the Covid madness. Dr. Wada asked that my prescription be expedited, to my delight, they came well before my departure date. Thanks Wada Optometry! read more

I've never needed glasses until recently but I loved coming here to get my tests and prescriptions. I don't think it's intentional but it is a definite ASMR experience coming here and talking to Dr. Wada. It's just so nice and quiet in there and they talk so softly. It makes you fell super relaxed Very random I know. Awesome Star Trek setup! read more

This review is not necessarily for this doctor since I never met him. I'm going to start with the great things. My first impression was wow this office looks so cool and they have all kinds of frames for any style! The doctor (a female) did my exams and was great with me. I did end up LOVING my glasses. For that I am happy. The bad. My first issue was when the doctor could not do my contact lens fitting because they did not have my prescription so she said that they would order the closest thing as possible to my prescription. I was okay with that (I mean my prescription is pretty strong!) however I was told that they would let me know when they arrive so I could schedule an appointment for the fitting. Okay, so exams are done everything is paid now I wait for the call for both the glasses and the contacts. As instructed. Simple enough right? NO! They never called me. I called them on multiple occasions and no one ever answered! I made it a point to call at different times of the day on multiple days but they did not answer. Finally I told my boyfriend to call from his phone and they answered him first try!! He told the lady over the phone that I had been trying to contact them for a few weeks and asked if my glasses were ready. She replied with that they were in lunch and turns out the glasses were ready! So all this time I'm waiting eagerly for a call only to find out they were already ready. My boyfriend let them know that we were going to stop by that day to get them and we did. So I get there expecting to just pick up the glasses and get info on the contacts. The same girl who helped me originally was there and she says I owe money. Another $200 something bucks! At this point I'm almost in tears I know it sounds silly but it was a big deal to me because it was hard for me to pay in the first place even with insurance. I look at my boyfriend because at that point i couldn't speak and he let her know I paid already. Then she said I had only paid half! She asks me if she was the one to help me and I said yes. She looks over documents with another girl and they go to a room and come back. Basically the one who had not helped me originally says that I don't owe anything that it was their mistake. (Something along those lines) anyway by this time I'm a little more calm and I ask her if the contact lenses where here yet and she asks me what I was talking about. I explain to her what the doctor had said and turns out no one ever placed the order. Here I am upset again but she sets me up for the appointment. I did receive a call because I did not end up going to the appointment but it's only because I no longer wanted to do business at Wada Optometry any longer. read more

Called them to fix wife's glasses, the nose holder was lost. They fix it fast and no charge. Will make appointment to get glasses done here soon due to their help. read more

Honestly, this is the greatest optometry I have ever been to. I mean you don't understand. Like actually they're the nicest people I have ever met. Like honestly the help was phenomenal and I haven't even begun to speak about the layout. Honestly, walking through the front door was the equivalent to stepping through a stargate portal but actually it's Star Trek themed and you can't believe how much time and effort they put into making this an experience. I didn't even want to leave because the atmosphere made it so fun. I mean walking through that front door, Jess But they call her Natalie, gave me the most beautiful smile and I was instantly welcomed and felt comfortable. She is definitely one of the shining stars in this part of the galaxy and thanks for all the help Dr. Wada! read more

This place is super cool!! Very clean and great staff the exam was quick and my children felt very calm with the procedures. I really appreciate the staff and Drs explanations of procedures. read more

My family and I have been customers for over 10 years. Dr. Wada and his staff are awesome. I know little or nothing about the optometry industry but it seems they have the latest and greatest in eye-care technology. Through a series of tests, they have a streamline effective process to evaluate your eyes health and situation. Dr. Wada is very experienced to diagnose and treat your eyes' health issues and he can recommend and prescribe contacts & glasses that are best for you. For glasses, I have often drawn off their staff for manufacturer advice and fashion/design opinions. Ann (the office manager), Jessica, and Andrea have been terrific. The whole team is also mindful to their patient's time and schedule. For example they don't schedule you in their office with a thirty minute contingency for their convenience (unlike many other doctor offices out there). If you're looking for a new long-term partnership with an outstanding optometric team, my highest recommendation to Dr. Wada Optometry. read more

My family has been going to Dr. Wada for years. He's the best! His staff is super kind and knowledgeable. The appointments are quick, but never rushed. The unique Star Trek theme will draw you in, but the quality of care will make you a patient for life. 10/10 recommend Dr. Wada. read more

Oh my what can be said for Dr.Wada?! You not only will receive the utmost in Eye Care...performed by the 1of a kind" Captain of his Star Ship"...his crew is so positive, kind, educated, sensitive to your needs. Thank you all for being #1 for my needs for many year's! Oh by the "kid friendly" of course...open his door to an adventure like no other...no passport needed! Thank you Dr. Wada & family read more

First time coming a friend referred me very very great customer service very accurate and polite and great prices you cannot go wrong!! So if you need glasses come here you won't be disappointed I promise!!!! read more

I've been coming here since I was in junior high and it's always a pleasure seeing dr wada. He's very nice and does a phenomenal job when giving an exam. His office is Star Trek theme... everyone would feel like there at space mountain at Disney going to this place. Office is not your typical optometry office. And everyone at the place is very welcoming and nice. Would recommend going here . read more

First off, I do agree that his staff is friendly, so no problems there. The problem I came in for is a complicated one so I won't go into detail about it. Although nothing was found during the eye exam, Dr. Wada still recommended some glasses and, as his receptionist reiterated, "You have the insurance, you might as well use it." So my insurance was milked to the max and I got a pair of glasses that were of absolutely no use to me whatsoever. I contacted the VSP and asked about possibly exchanging the glasses for some I could use. They told me I would have to make another appointment with Dr. Wada to which I reluctantly complied. The day prior to my appointment I was contacted by the VSP and told that everything was good to go. As I got off the phone I noticed I had an unhappy sounding message from Dr. Wada. I returned his call and was chewed out with an angry, "What is your problem?!" After listening to Dr. Wada rant, I had to hang up on him and contact the VSP to ask what exactly they had said to have made him so angry. They put me on hold while they spoke with him only to get back to me and tell me there was nothing they could do. I'm sure Dr. Wada gave them a similar scolding. Please keep in mind that once they have your money, neither the doctor or the insurance company are going to stand up for you. Let this be a lesson to choose your doctor wisely to avoid getting into a mess like this. read more
