I cannot say enough good things about this group of people. On my first visit, I felt like I was the only customer they had--everyone was so nice. Fortune made my appointment, and Julie helped me find their office on Donlon Street. Monique performed many of my eye tests using about six different devices, and Dr. Tabanfar conducted additional tests and recommended further testing later. Elaine assisted with my paperwork and helped me fit my glasses. I was never pressured to buy anything, and the whole experience was fantastic. I haven't personally met Fortune or Dr. Funnell yet, since they were off that day, so I have even more to look forward to when I pick up my new glasses next week. And they all have a sense of humor, too. Jeff Hodge / AKA... The Blind Driver and Bobby the Telepathic Guide Dog read more

Been going here for years, too many to remember exactly. Dr. Tom retired several years ago and his son Colin took over. Colin and his staff have not missed a beat from the great care that always has been associated with Funnell optometry. Always up to date with latest technology, appointments are on time and you always leave knowing you got the best care. Any and all questions and concerns are explicitly explained and not rushed. The best, thanks guys. read more

Dr Funnell was ok, he recommended drops for my dry eye that made my eye tear even more profusely, (miebo), a mail order prescription , not covered by insurance and very expensive, every piece of equipment. My chin or eyes rested against was never wiped down, very unsanitary , called front desk, staff the following day in reference to an ophthalmologist that was referred to by Dr.Funnell said she would get back to me later that day. It's been well over two months still haven't heard back. I would've gone back to Two trees optometry, but our insurance had changed. Do not recommend this optometry office. read more

What an outstanding experience at this office. I had a great experience from Dr. Funnel, front office staff were amazing! High technology and quality care at this office. I was not rushed and not overwhelmed by the amount of patients there. It was just perfect! Dr Funnell took the time to explain everything to my husband and I. Will definitely return here in the future and will recommend him to our friends and colleagues. read more

Absolutely the worst care and experience my family and I have ever had. Disgraceful office staff, poor management and low end feel.

Dr Funnel is a GREAT eye care doctor, patient and very thorough. The staff is also the BEST in providing excellent customer service with a smile. read more

I was seen by the younger dr. Funnell. He spent a good amount of his time to give me the exam. He also answered all my concerns in details. He even told me that since my prescription has just a small changes, the new glass won't really make a difference. I can either get it or wait. So that was a first... my old OD had always tried to get me to get a new glasses by talking me into it. Then I had to spend $500-600 just to get a new glasses that didn't really make a difference. I really like Dr Collin Funnell. He is professional and friendly. read more

Dr Funnell is a great guy, a great doctor and always a delight to visit for my eye exams. His staff and he really treat their patients like family. And who doesn't love going over his hi-tech scans of your eyes on his giant computer screen! Recently, I had a detached retina, which ended up needing 3 operations by 2 specialists to repair. After the retina was reattached, due to an overcorrection with my cataract lense, I couldn't focus and felt as if I was offbalance except when I closed my affected eye and looked thru the other. Both specialists just shrugged their shoulders and mumbled "give it time" or "better than being blind" sort of platitudes. I was seriously considering an eye patch and "going pirate"! When I took my problem to Dr. Funnell, he immedietly was able to explain it and come up with a solution that has made my predicament much more livable. Thank you, Dr. Funnell! read more

See all

I went this office about 4 months ago. Finally got my glasses about two weeks age. They are still not adequate. All I received were excuses and a $200 rebate. I would prefer glasses that actually work so will now find another optometrist. I don't think they care or value any of their customers. Signed. Xcustomer read more

My first visit to this office was amazing. Dr. Funnell Took his time during my examination and explained to me things I never realized about my eyes. He has the best bedside manner I've ever experienced with a doctor. I will be a lifetime patient and cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Tom for years. Now, I'm seeing Dr. Colin Funnell for a couple of months now for post-op PRK care. He's just as lovely as his Dad, and very kind. He answers all my questions. The staff is also lovely. I highly recommend. read more

My daughters love Mr. funnell! I took my girls here after my sister referred me to him, his staff are so friendly my daughters felt comfortable and he was honest. I love that his office make you feel so welcome it makes the little ones visit more relaxing. read more

I injured my eye on a large cactus spine. Dr. Funnell opened up a closed office to see me. He confirmed no serious damage was done. What great caring service. They also carry a good selection of designer frames and my favorite brand called Pro Design. Great local service for over 30 years. Go see them! read more

I went in to order a pair of glasses, was quoted a certain amount, went over the bill at least 3 times (maybe more) and now I am getting a call saying they need more money saying they screwed up on their pricing. If i misquoted over and over again, I would take care of it yet they will not. I will never go here again. BEWARE on who and what you're getting. I cannot afford the extra money they need, so I am without glasses. read more

I've been seeing Dr Tom Funnell for 40+ years. He has always been on top of new developments and up to date on optical evaluation, eye care and treatment. I have an unusual visual condition and he has been responsive and creative in giving me the best corrective treatment available. Now I'm seeing Dr Colin and find him to be continuing the same kind of care, individualized attention, and dedication to his professional development as his dad. I'm very thankful to the doctors Funnell and Carol and the office team. read more

Dr. Funnell is very different than other eye doctors, in that, he is truly passionate about eye anatomy, eye health, the latest advances, etc. His energy is contagious! He knows that latest advances, goes to seminars, teaches, his son is in the profession, has the latest assessment tools and machines. In short, not your regular eye doctor. So glad I found him. Like finding a great plumber or electrician, ya know? read more

Love Dr. Funnell, Colin, and the front office staff. Updated technology allows for a complete eye exam without those blasted eye drops causing dilation. Especially like the consultation given by the doctor on general eye health and potential problems on the horizon. Not having gone to school for that particular specialty, I wouldn't know a lemon from an iris if it wasn't explained to me. A large selection of frames and there is a 'budget bin' of attractive options if one doesn't have insurance. Still receiving compliments on the frames I chose at the last visit. read more

I have been visiting Dr. Funnell since I was 12 years old, almost 20 years ago when they were located in the mall. I have always felt they put my best interests first rather than the sense that I am viewed as a cash pinata I feel when I walk into some other doctors offices. Their office worked with me through the years of poor-college-student, there are some strong reasons I make the trip from San Francisco to keep returning. * Dr Funnel is always on the cutting edge of new technology and research in the field. He is excited to discuss it and frequently has recommendations on new products available. * I have never had my pupils dilated. I have had many confused looks from friends over the years when I mention this. Dr Funnel has alternative equipment available that makes dilation unnecessary in many routine cases. * The front-desk staff are amazing. They are always cheerful and I usually find myself in a friendly conversation at every visit. * Rapid response time. I call ahead for appointments and have always found availability within a reasonable time-frame. Wonderful practice, highly recommend. read more

I wholeheartedly recommend you see Dr. Funnell for your vision care. I have been wearing glasses since grade school. Over the years, I went to about a dozen ophthalmologists and optometrists. It was not until I went to see Dr. Funnell that somebody diagnosed my true condition - I have a malformed cornea that requires a different treatment - not glasses. After seeing Dr. Funnel my corrected vision significantly improved. It has been fifteen years since that first visit and over that period he has continually added more advanced diagnostic equipment. Dr. Funnell enthusiastically stays current with the research. During my last round he prescribed a new type of contact that will get my vision to 20/20. Sounds unbelievable, but it is true! read more

Dr. Funnell & his staff are the best! Our great experience started with his office staff taking the time to figure out our confusing insurance. They were kind & patient. We had our whole family there for eye checks and since it was my son's (6) first eye exam and he can be very touch phobic, I thought it would be good to see my husband & I get our eyes checked first. Dr. Funnell, spoke directly to my son & asked for his help doing our exams. My son was thrilled he got to push buttons to take pictures of our eyes & totally got over his fears quickly. His exam went much smoother than I ever anticipated. Dr. Funnell was very throughout in his exam. We received a full explanation of our eyes & their health. We've been going to doctors who use the digital retinal scan for some time now, but no one has been as great explaining everything to us as he did. We are thrilled to have found this office! read more

I love Dr. Funnell. He and the office staff are fantastic. A thorough exam and the doctor explains everything clearly. Very friendly and helpful. He was great with my 3.5 year old and made us feel welcome and comfortable. While I was picking out glasses, my then 3-month-old became fussy and hungry. Nobody freaked out or made me feel uncomfortable when I had to breastfeed her while finishing up the transaction. Everyone was very patient with me and my very young children and that was refreshing. read more

The most advanced technology for eye care delivered by the most personable and qualified optometrist.

Tom is a wealth of knowledge and truly a master at his craft. His use of technology and implementing it with a simple to understand and transparent consultation was second to none. I highly recommend and will be back again. read more

I took my daughter to see Dr. Funnel a year ago, and was very impressed with the technology they use, the friendliness of the entire staff, and Dr. Funnel's expertise. He's genuinely excited about what he does, and is so personable! My family will be regulars! read more

Between convenient lunchtime appointments and the expert knowledge of Dr. Funnell, I have always felt well taken care of here! Top that off with friendly, helpful staff and I am a patient for life! Always leave feeling like I'm in good hands. read more

Very Nice office they have very cool equipment not like other optometrist that their equipment is very old. They have a nice play area for kids that keep them entertained for a long time. The wait time might of been a little long just because I'm thinking that there is only one doctor there so it's understanding. Will return again for any future appointments:) read more

I had the best experience with the staff and Dr. Funnell. Everyone is very knowledgable, and they have a sense of community. I really enjoyed my visit here! read more

Dr. Funnell is brilliant and has been on the cutting edge of vision care for his entire career. He has the most up-to-date and progressive high tech diagnostic tools. He is associated with the most highly regarded specialists in his field. His support staff is excellent. Very personalized service. Great selection of frames, as well. Very convenient office hours. read more

I was referred to Dr. Funnell by a friend and colleague over 2 years ago. Each time I visit his office I am made to feel at home by himself and his staff. The location is very clean and well maintained. Also, he always has the latest gadgets! Dr. Funnell himself is very personable and easy to talk to. He addresses most questions you might have before you can even vocalize them and always in a very genuine way. I recommend him to anyone who likes to know their options and have an understandable explanation given. read more

I throughly enjoy my visits with Dr. Funnell and his staff. My family and I have been going to him for our eye care needs for about 8 years now. I love that he answers all my questions and is always so pleasant. Dr. Funnell also assisted me with my decision to have LASIK. It was the best decision I ever made. I was able to see Dr. Funnell for all the pre-op, post-op and follow up care instead of going to Dr. Dougherty's office. read more

Dr.Tom Funnell is by far the best eye doctor ever! I've been going to his practice for a couple years now and will continue to establish care with him. read more

This was by far the best eye doctor I've ever been to. Dr. Funnell, Colin and the front office staff offered exceptional service all the way around. I appreciated how Dr. Funnell takes his time to really explain things so that I understand. Iove the state of the art equipment that they have to give the best eye care service. My children are all seen here as well and they love it here. I highly reccommend this eye doctor. read more

Came here with my son (5 yo) for his first eye dr app. The staff was great with him and the kid corner was keeping him entertained while I finished paperwork. Went to the back for his eye exam. Love love love Dr. Funnell and his staff! Made his exam into a game which kept it fun and entertaining with complete cooperation! Found that he needed eye glasses and went to pick some frames. After talking to my son about the style he wanted (Clark Kent) they picked some for him to try and he loved them. We will be coming here for his future eye care needs. read more

Tom Funnel is a great individual and professional. I would recommend him to anyone.

I've been wearing glasses for 30+ years and Dr. Funnell is the by far the best eye doc ever! His office staff was so friendly and helpful too. If you're looking for the best in vision care, I highly recommend Dr. Funnell. read more

Be careful and specific with this Optomitrist. I made an appointment for both myself and wife to have refraction exam leading to a new pair of glasses. I made the appoint for today ( Aug. 07 ) and asked at that time with his office staff Liz if he worked with Eyemed and what was the copayment. SH replied that they did work as a provider under the Eyemed plan and the copayment was $20.oo. I further asked at the desk at when checking in and was told they did take Eyemed and the copayment was $20.oo. We, both, were run thru three machines by his staff and I inquired what's all this was about. We were told it was part of the exam. When we checked out we were EACH charged $49.oo. I asked what the additional charge was for AND WAS Told that was for the exam. I spent 1 hour getting my refraction exam. DR Funnell spent 45 minutes telling me all about his career, medical condition etc on and on and a lot of smoke about the health of my glaucoma, macula and retinal health. ( I thought that was an Opthalomoligist job to diagnosis.). He finally got to the refraction and that is what I came for and that took less than 10 minutes. My wife went thru the same routine. BYER BEWARE Dr Funnell blows a lot of smoke, medical terms he doesn't explain. BAD INVESTMENT. read more

I never leave reviews but with Dr. Funnell, I had to make an exception. He is absolutely thee best out there. He's passionate about what he does and is the nicest guy. I've been wearing classes/contacts since I was 6 so I've seen my fair share of doctors. Never have I been educated on the wonders of the eyes! Other than being a great guy, he also tries and help save you money! The office staff is super friendly and helpful too! I'm definitely sharing my experience with my family and friends and I highly recommend Dr. Funnell's office! read more

Love this office and people! Called at 9am and was seen at 10am...Tom and Carol are great!

Dr Funell is the bomb! I love his chi chat n attention to each patient. I love it so much i took my momma and he was super nice to her and threw his bilingual skill in there for her. Best eye dr in town! read more

Tom has been our optometrist for over 25 years. Yikes. He's very patient with us, going over the findings again and again, when necessary. He answers all my questions. Most of the front office knows us and greets us by name. It's nice to see familiar faces. The classes selection & fitting folks work with you to get the lenses just like you like them. I like more than usual on the bottom of my bifocal. No problem. read more
