This place is amazing! I was sent a link to Dr. Wada's website by a fellow Trekkie and I KNEW I had to trek over to this place for my next eye exam (especially since I was overdue). It was even more amazing than I was expecting! You can really tell that a lot of care and love went into setting everything up--and Dr. Wada pointed out a few pieces that are genuine set pieces from Star Trek Voyager! Perhaps even more impressive was how kind and pleasant Dr. Wada was during my visit, seeming more than happy to talk Star Trek with me and even offered to take some photos of me around the office. I can't say I was ever sincerely EXCITED for a doctor's appointment before, but this was the first. I can't recommend Wada Optometry enough, and after jumping around from LensCrafters and Costco Optometry, I think I have finally found forever optometrist.

Dr. Wada and his staff are very kind. I had no idea it was Star trek themed when I booked. I never seen the show but wow the clinic was cool. I felt like I was in a museum. The office offers a variety of optional scans and not at a high cost. It was nice to see detailed photos of my eye health. The glasses frames are modern and the receptionist was very great with helping me understand my insurance to make the best decision for my budget.

Screw in the back that holds the lens in the frame protrudes the entire screw head causing the glasses to snag on things.

This is a decent optometrist, but the lab where they have the glasses assembled is terrible! I just picked up my newest pair of glasses, dedicated sunglasses, and half of the screws are mismatched and protrude beyond the screw hole or don't fit at all! I was forced to get dedicated sunglasses because my primary glasses, which are supposed to transition to dark lenses, don't get very dark. I am very disappointed with the quality of the work performed and with the poor results after taking my primary glasses back to have the transitional lenses redone.

Nice office and okay customer service, but poor quality workmanship. Received two pairs of glasses for $355. First pair was okay, but lens for second pair (reading only) the lens doesn't fit the frame I requested them for and there are chips and scratches where they tried to make them fit. Was contacted after my initial review, was instructed that this issue would be corrected. Dropped off my glasses to be repaired, when they were picked up the lens part still did not fit flush in the frames. If you can't get a professional result, be honest with the customer and stop wasting their time and money.

Do you accept medi-cal?

Does staff ever come to work in Trek attire? Do you encourage patients to come in costume? Hey it's important :-)

Staff doesn’t I only dress up Halloween and I have had a lot of patients come in dressed in cosplay

What high end brands do you carry? I am unable to find frame brands on the website.

Prada , Gucci , Tiffany ,Coach, Oakley, Cole Haan, Ann Klein Michael Kors, Ray Ban’s are some brands we carry

How much are the glasses?

It all depends on the Frames why don’t you come in here and take a look around we have many different frames to choose from you can actually go to our website and click on the fitting box and try on frames from your laptop computer

Wada was very thorough during the eye exam whilst making a conscious effort to get to know me as a patient.

The people who work in the LensCrafters portion are absolutely amazing! Jennifer was so sweet,…read morekind, and personable. She walked me through all the tests prior to my actual exam with the optometrist. I made an appointment online for the eye exam same day. I was happy to get one on December 31st, before my yearly insurance benefits expired that night. After I was done, Jennifer had already looked up my insurance benefits and helped select some frames that would be covered by my insurance. I was completely indecisive and went back and forth on many pairs. Jennifer, Rosario, and Anni were so sweet and really tried to help me find the pair I would look best in! (I was incredibly indecisive!) The other two women working were very sweet and helpful as well, I actually ended up getting one of the frames, one of them had suggested was similar to a certain style number I mentioned. Everyone here is very knowledgeable and seem to want to help you make the best choice! I was so impressed with them suggesting style names of frames. Thank you again Jennifer, Rosario, & Anni!

The eye exam itself went great, and most of the staff were perfectly fine. One staff member (Light…read moreskin chubby girl) who I'm assuming is new since I've never seen her there before--was extremely determined to sell me frames I very clearly did not want. I understand it's part of the job, but there's a difference between offering and pushing, especially after being told "no" multiple times. Even better, she managed to suggest that I buy my contacts online accidentally instead of through the office... which pretty much sealed the deal. If I didn't need frames before, I definitely didn't need them after that. Overall, great exam, but a little less sales pressure (and a little more chill) would go a long way. Do better next time woman.

She asked me if the following week would work and I agreed, assuming everything was set. She did not ask for more information from my end. When I arrived after a 45-min drive to my appointment, the front desk girl asked for my insurance information. I found this odd, as I assumed it would have been handled ahead of time like at other optometry offices. After checking her system, she told me that she couldn't get the authorization because a previous eye exam place was "holding" it. She told me to call 1-800 VSP number to have it "released", but the hotline & the previous eye place was already CLOSED. She said I wouldn't be able to get any eye exam today via insurance. I told the girl, "I wish I was notified earlier". She asked if we can reschedule and I told her that I'm no longer available other days. The next morning , I called the other optometry place & VSP hotline and they confirmed I have an open authorization. NOTHING WAS ON HOLD. This was a huge waste of time!!! If you value efficiency and proper communication, please go somewhere else.

My first visit was a really good experience overall. The eye exam, glasses fitting, and contact…read morelens fitting all felt smooth and thorough. The doctor is professional, easy to talk to, and has a very relaxed, chill demeanor that made the appointment comfortable. I was also recommended Optase Hylo Relief dry eye drops and they've been great. They keep my eyes lubricated with contacts and feel noticeably better than other brands I've tried. David, the office manager, is very straightforward, sometimes blunt, but always clear and helpful. There was a miscommunication with my contact lenses that left me unable to receive them for about two to three months. Luckily I had enough supply to get by. David was instrumental in resolving the issue, which stemmed from my vision benefits. He followed up diligently and handled everything with professionalism and persistence. The matter ultimately resolved with my insurance, and I was impressed by his level of service throughout. Overall, a very positive experience with attentive care and strong follow through when an issue came up. I will definitely be back!

He is always attentive to eye health and has greatly helped us with our youngest's sight issues. Not only is Dr Choi great but so is his office staff. We never have to wait more than 10 minutes, it's a well oiled machine. David is incredibly efficient and knowledgeable. Their selection of frames is vast and they do turn around lens in store-- which is so convenient. Their pricing is on par and they work with insurance. We truly can't recommend this office more! If you're thinking about going, just book the appointment, you won't be sorry.
