It's very spacious inside, and the displays of frames are nicely spaced apart from each other, with a few different mirrors to look into while trying on glasses. The corner office has many windows, which allows for lots of natural light, which I find extra helpful when trying to pick out a new pair of glasses. I'm always happy to find a large selection of available frames, including popular brand names and styles that are very on trend.

I first came here in 2006 and got first-class treatment from the famous Dr. Loren Azevedo, who…read moretaught me the word anisometropia (having very different corrections needed for each eye). Since then, I moved away and came back, and came here again yesterday. They're still excellent! Dr. Appy addressed all my questions about my odd couple of eye conditions. They still had my records from 2006. He knew all about epithelial basement-cell-membrane corneal dystrophy (where the outer layer of the cornea bunches up), and was able to advise me on where to get the right stuff to keep it from flaring up. He also explained how the ointment works--something my previous eye doctors never had time for. Then I sat down with Jeff in the front room to see about getting new frames and lenses. He said, "I'm not a salesman." He was just there to advise me. And sure enough, we found that he was able to adjust both of my last two pairs of glasses so that I had really good acuity--no need for new lenses! No pressure to buy anything, just helpful advice and service. Everyone here was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to.

I'll never buy glasses, or replace my lenses here again. The lady who wears the purple glasses with…read morethe big poofy hair totally scammed me. The gave me a price. I paid. Then she left a message saying she can't send my glasses off till she gets the full amount, and she said she did all the math wrong. So I had to pay a lot more money. Not cool. I'm definitely going to Costco next time. I do like the doctors they're good.

There is NO sign or any direction when you walk in WHERE the front desk is, just a very tall counter area, and a narrow divider wall, where a desk is. So check-in could be in two places. A sign would help. I asked the girl who does NOT greet me at all "Is this the check in area?" NO answer...just asks for my name. Period. Then hands me the forms and says "fill these out" I have to find a pen on my own, and she sits back at her desk..no other communication, and there was no other customer needing attention or a phone ringing. I just waited out in the lobby and did not return the clipboard...she did come and get it and apologized, not sure why. Greeting ANY patient, new or not, and giving YOUR own name prevents awkwardness of the patient having to say "Hey You" to her...which I had to do. The Dr. does not give his name either, no lab coat or name tag. He COULD have been a tech or some pre-exam staffer who checks your glasses, etc. as is typical in MD offices. So in both cases friendly Introductions are better. Humboldt is too casual in just about any social or business interaction, mostly because staff are never trained in etiquette. Wearing an MD's white coat is not necessary, but clearly saying a 'difficult' name helps the patient not be stuck just saying "Doctor".

I had an appointment at 10:30 and wasn't seen until 11:40. I understand that he had multiple…read moreclients with emergencies but to have people wait for over an hour is crazy and the front desk staff was not updating anyone. I should've been told as soon as I got there that he was an hour behind but I was told it would be a "little bit of a wait" The doctor was amazing and so nice. After the appointment I had asked for my glasses to be tightened and she came out and told me that she broke my glasses and didn't have the color in stock. She could loan me a pair or tape up mine for 2 weeks while she ordered another. I settled for a different color. She said sorry but had a very rude tone. Love the doctor but wouldn't recommend this place. It's really unfortunate for Medi-Cal patients in the area.

I came in for an exam and new glasses and he proceeded to tell me in a very condescending voice that I would have to pay for my glasses because my insurance wouldn't pay again until next year. He spoke loudly, and it was slightly embarassing. Thank you for telling me how my insurance works buddy, but I got it handled. Thanks. They were also running late today. My appointment was at 1, it's now 1:20 and I'm still waiting. I hear this guy making reminder phone calls to people for appointments, couldn't they have called me to let me know they were running late? People do have lives..... Well, it has now been another 10 minutes. I'm alone in the lobby and no one has even checked in with me to tell me how much longer it's going to be. Ain't nobody got time for that! Time to walk out.
