He patiently explained everything, helped us find frames that suited us, and made the whole experience easy and comfortable. We all found our glasses and left happy. We will definitely come back again.

She asked me during my initial visit if I was Chinese and I told her no im not. A week later i went to pick up my glasses, she asked me again if I was Chinese. And I told her no. I find this to be unprofessional. You shouldn't be commenting on a person's appearance. And also when I picked up my glasses, she didn't even sat me down for the fitting or check that everything looked fine. I was wearing contacts and asked her if i should take out my contacts. The lady told me no and to just close my eyes and put the glasses on. Of course I couldn't see anything. It looks like she was in a hurry and wanted to get done with me right away. And I also wasn't provided an eyeglass case or a cleaning cloth. The lady just gave me some cheap cloth bag to put my glasses in. I had to buy a hard case inside the Target store. I thought for sure all these basic accessories came with new glasses. I mean I shelled out $500 for the whole appointment. I just don't think I would recommend this place if you want some basic service or to be treated nicely. I feel like this place didn't appreciate me as a customer/patient and the front desk lady just brushed me off. I recommend the eye exam but when it comes to service I give it a zero

    I've been here for three visits at this SSF location--their new building since they left next to…read moreKFC , but they're now next to Starbird--(fried chicken is the constant :-). It's not a deal breaker but parking sucks here. They have a dedicated garage but it's a pain in the ass and awkward to get in and out, a cavernous ridiculous poorly designed space. Maybe it's me being clumsy. Either way, I hate it. Been going here specifically for appointments with Dr. Christian Chew. We've been doing IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) by [FDA-approved Lumens OptiLight], which is a contraption of epic proportion and I'm guessing hella expensive, which is why only this office has it. Optica's also in Millbrae, but this machine is not there. I've had 100% excellent experiences here: bright, clean snazzy new digs, surprisingly spacious. Lynette and Jenna are at the front desk and assisting elsewhere--they're super friendly, warm, attentive, sweet, and super helpful. By the time I went in for my IPL consult, I'd already had: meibomian gland expression, punctal plugs, hydrating sleep mask, moist heated pads, prescription eye drops Miebo and Cequa + a host of other drops and gels. My bathroom counter looks like a damn pharmacy. My LAL cataract surgery put me over the edge with my dry eye, to the point I could no longer manage with my plethora of eye drops. Ask me if all this worked? NOT! Using eye drops a dozen times daily, I was freaking out--my stupid dry eye was seriously interfering with my daily functioning, e.g. my clients were asking me why my eyes were watering and/or if I was crying! Not a good look for a psychotherapist lol :-) I tried to get IPL a few years ago but was told that because I have olive skin, tan easily and never burn, I wasn't a good candidate (they didn't want to risk scarring or whatever). But here we are today, and years later, Dr. Chew has reached a level of experience with the OptiLight, such that he's finessed with technique. Operating it is not merely technical, it's a practiced art. I initially went in for an impromptu same day consult (thanks to Dr. Florendo who expedited it). I went in for a consult and was not supposed to get the treatment on that visit, but I was desperate and determined: I begged, coaxed, cajoled ... groveled, e.g. entreating "please, pleeez," for Dr. Chew to give me a tx. same day (I didn't want to go home without an intervention) ... he must've taken pity, because drum roll ... he did! He assessed no contraindications and was confident enough to know I was a decent candidate and likely would not have untoward side-effects from the treatment ... yesss! I've never looked back because my success is unmatched! I know this is hyperbole, all cases are different/unique, blah blah and I'm melodramatic but I'm so stoked about how much easier it is to get through the day, e.g. now I put only 4 or 5 different drops 2 to 3x daily and I barely tear up. WTH? I call this dumbfounding serious success! Dr. Chew is an absolute rock star, his facility and expertise with that beast of a machine on display every single time we do a treatment. My triumph is that this IPL works! Hallelujah! Did I mention I was initially apprehensive? Not sure who the doctor was, whether we'd have a seamless interaction (I can be a prickly, picky patient) ... I need not have worried because Dr. Chew is fire. I so appreciate him, for not only his expertise and knowledge, but for his demeanor: he's chill and relaxed, conversational, personable and approachable with a sense of humility. I can work with his down to earth and unprepossessing style. I cannot work with doctors who are old school officious or pompous with airs. I got no time for ego--eff it--I'm too old for that, I'm done. You know those doctors who think they know your body and symptoms better than you? That's the opposite of Dr. Chew, who's open enough to actively listens and doesn't assume. The total cost (it's out of pocket cuz greedy ass insurance demons don't cover it) of the four IPL txs. is very reasonable. After the initial four txs., every so often, depending on recurrence of symptoms, there's a tune up. Sign me up. Whatever it takes. Thank-god for this technology. It's worth every single penny!

    My experience with Bernd Kutzscher, MD in 2019 was a nightmare. Dr. Kutzscher should have honored…read morehis Hippocratic Oath and performed an eye exam as he was paid to do, billing insurance under the doctors' name while ignorant technicians are the ones doing the work of the MD is wrong, perhaps he should retire if he is tired of performing eyes exams. The technician assessed my eyes through an array of lenses and enter her data in the computer, Dr. Kutzscher came into the room, exchange pleasantries and signed off on the RX without preforming an eye exam. The new RX had a huge change and I was concerned. I bought 2 pairs (clear/dark = $1,400) of glasses with Kutzscher's optician. It took 4 weeks to get the glasses and when I got them, I had a horrendous pain in the eye with the huge change on the RX and had a hard time reading/seeing. I called several times to speak with Dr. Kutzscher, he finally returned my call and said my eyes needed to adjust to the new lenses and agreed to see me three weeks later. Once more the technician assessed my eyes through some lenses and asked me to read some charts which I did with lots of errors but she said it didn't matter. Dr. Kutzscher walked in the room read her notes in the computer and said to keep using the glasses until my eyes adjusted to the change, without performing an eye exam or regard for the pain that I was suffering. I asked him to change the RX, he said there is nothing wrong with the RX, but how does he know if he never performed the eye exam. He should have honored their re-do policy as offered at the time of purchase if the glasses didn't work. The office staff and the optician are very rude, perhaps they believe if they intimidate the clients, they get paid and the problem goes away. Five months later, since the pain continued and I couldn't read or see I went back to my previous eye MD, a true gem, who stands by his work. The doctor performed a comprehensive eye exam and said the pain on my eye was due to the wrong prescription. He assessed my eyes and wrote a new RX. He said if there is any problem, he will re-do my glasses at "no cost". My new RX was a gift sent from heaven I was able to see and read without pain.

    I scheduled to see Dr. Kutzscher after suffering what seems to be an ocular migraine and wanted to…read moreconfirm this. I was able to see him within the week after having the symptoms. The doctor himself had great manners, took his time to really understand my symptoms (unlike another ophthalmologist I had seen in the past who rushed me), and was also making conversation getting to know me and such. He was super friendly and professional but had to knock off a star due to wait time. My appointment was scheduled for 1:30PM and I waited until 2:20PM before he got to me. Probably because he is chatty and likes to get to know his patients...so scratch that I'm giving back the star. 5 STARS! Highly recommend!
