The staffs are very helpful and friendly, Dr. Elsa Pao OD is an amazing optometrist!

Sometimes it's hard to get early appointments because her schedule is always full but I think it's worth the wait! I highly recommend her to others!

They know my family because we've given them so much business over the years. It was a quick routine checkup today. There's a new glaucoma test! No longer will you anxiously await the puff of air directed at each eye. Yay to new technology! Dr. Hoh and staff have gone above and beyond with adhering to the COVID guidelines. You'll see protective glass on the reception desk, numerous air purifiers throughout the office (including 4-5 inside the exam room alone with the door open and Dr. Hoh seated across the room). Every frame you've tried on will be collected for decontamination. The waiting room has moved outside by the elevators. If you need help selecting a frame that suits your face, Annie is a great help choosing the stylish ones. So, there's absolutely no excuse for not getting a checkup now! Also FYI, Dr. Hoh has another Yelp listing ("A Chinatown Optometrist" with more reviews if you would like to check out.

This office usually does not provide eye glasses prescription to you automatically unless you…read morespecifically ask for it. Separately, Dr. Hoh was to provide contact lens fitting and prescription based on previous contact lens package info. On the day of the fitting, my son had an eye infection and was unable to finish the fitting, he had to make another appointment for the following week. Upon his return, my son was told that the cash payment for the contact lens fitting he had paid previously was used for his infection treatment and he had to pay again for contact lens fitting. When I called and complained about the irregularity of this practice, Dr. Hoh became irated and said he did not want to have anything to do with our family and refused to provide my son a contact lens prescription. Dr. Hoh said he had treated my son for the eye infection, the contact lens cash payment was used for the medical treatment. My son is a Medical patient, but Dr. Hoh did not bother to submit a claim. We don't know what the so called medical treatment entailed; there was no itemized billing for any treatment. All we had for that day was a receipt for contact lens fitting. Nothing was mentioned about a medical treatment or relevant charges. Somehow, on the follow-up appointment, that cash contact lens payment had turned into payment for medical treatment. This is highly irregular and Dr. Hoh's attitude was arrogant. Perhaps he believes his Chinatown patients have little choice but to accept this kind of practice. They rarely, if ever, raise any questions because they are mostly confined to Chinatown. Still, wrong is wrong, Chinatown or not. Upon being called out on his highly irregular business practice, he did refund the cash payment with a check which my unbanked son has to pay a fee to get the refund. We will look for another doctor outside of Chinatown.

This office is medium sized with 5 exam rooms, very modern ophthalmology equipment, and a super friendly staff. His office is very busy, obviously because he is a favorite here in the community, so you might want to allow some extra time for your appointment. On a personal note, several years ago Dr. Tsai was the only Doctor of about the half dozen different specialist that we saw, that was quickly and accurately able to diagnose a family member with a complex neurological disorder. His experience and accreditations, coupled with his great Bedside manner make him an outstanding MD.

I have been going to optometrists for many years due to various issues I have had with my eye sight. I have to say that this was one of the best experiences I have had. First, the appointment was really easy to get. I have dual coverage for my eyes from two different insurance companies, and they accepted both of them, so that was a plus. The appointment with the doctor was very pleasant and courteous and I felt like adequate amount of time was spent to go over my history. The selection was good so I was able to pick a frame that fit me.... I can't wait to get them. So overall, I must say it was a really pleasant experience. I will be back! read more

I ask for a full refund. Sharon offers to have the glasses made as-is as an extra set. I said no thanks, that's not what I want. I got my refund. So next, I asked Sharon for clip-on shades. She offers me a custom made set for about $100. Their supplier said they don't have them, and they need two months to get them. TWO MONTHS? Are you using an overseas manufacturer? Sharon said "yes, most likely." Guess what? They don't have it. What a waste on time. So I tried Kaiser Vision Essentials for the first time. Got the glasses I wanted in two weeks.

This place is really hard to work with, and I think it's mainly due to one woman who works there…read moreand isn't nice. But in general, I wouldn't recommend this place. We have used this place twice. The good thing about this place is they have a good selection of children's frames, which most places don't have. Also, they did a good job making the glasses (or their lab did). They also take the Covered California medical insurance for children's exam and glasses, and most places don't. These are the reasons for 2 stars instead of 1 star. The bad things: The eye exam appointments need to be booked 3 months in advance or more. It is very hard to get an exam slot. I've been to many places and it has never been this hard. Even at an ophthalmologist, where they are also doing surgeries and such, it is easier to get an appointment for an eye exam. You need an appointment to look at glasses, and it also takes a while to get an appointment. At other places, you can often get a same day appointment, or at least within the next day or two. But at Eyewise, you have to wait 2-3 weeks. Even the second time we came, as repeat customers, we had an urgent issue (broken glasses) and had to wait a long time for an appointment. We finally got an appointment, and then the woman who works here didn't even help us. Why do you need an appointment if they are just going to ignore you the whole time anyway? She never even got up from her desk. We had to go over to her and ask specific questions. When we were ready to order the glasses and went to tell her, she finally came over but didn't explain options or say anything or make eye contact or act nice at all. I felt like we were really putting her out or something. The only reason we got glasses here was because of the good selection of children's frames. The other time we went here it was because we had only a couple places we could use insurance, and the same woman was there, and very unfriendly. The whole time, I felt like I'd done something wrong just by being there. It was not a welcoming experience. That time it was for both exam and glasses. The exam was fine. The glasses are fine. But the experience is bad. I don't need much help, but being completely ignored even when I first arrive feels bad. If it had happened only once, I'd think maybe she was just having a bad day, but nope, not 4 times total. When the glasses were ready, they called to let us know and schedule a time for us to pick them up. I said I could come now or anytime the next day, and they said their first available time was a week later. A week later! Just to get the glasses? So we took the first available appt, and when we went, they just handed us the glasses and asked are they fine, and we were gone. I don't know why you need an appt for that and why we couldn't have just gotten them earlier. Also, every time we've been here, it's never been busy, we're usually the only ones there and it's a very quiet place. This place moved from the Nob Hill shopping area to near Marina Village, in an office building. You ring a doorbell to get buzzed into the building. I've been to many optometry shops in my life, and the experience here pales in comparison with all the others.

I called the office the Friday of the second week and the receptionist told me I would receive an update when the contacts were delivered.

He reordered them the same day and I asked for them to be shipped to my address instead. The next day the doctor calls me again and says that the original order was resent on Wednesday of week 2 and that the order he placed yesterday was the incorrect brand. Wednesday of week 3, I received the incorrect brand contacts that were shipped to my address (took 2 days) yet still have not received the original order. I call the office again to find that the courier supposedly mis-delivered to another office and they don't know if my order is at this office or was rejected and sent back to the warehouse. I asked for an time frame for deliver and he could not answer. I asked to cancel the order and to reorder to be shipped to my address instead since it seems like it would be faster. He refused since he did not believe he was in the wrong and that he had already ordered another yearly supply (wrong brand) and it would be expensive (for him) to do that. I ended up calling my insurance to try to cancel the order so I could order contacts online instead but they couldn't without the doctors agreement. I still have yet to receive the contacts as of writing this review (Wednesday week 3) or an estimated delivery time. Interestingly, the insurance agent told me that Dr. Kelemen told them it should arrive by the end of week 3, yet did not tell me that.
