I've been seeing Kimberly Michel, O.D., since 2019 and have had nothing but positive experiences…read more Her office is located inside the Vista Costco, which can be a little hectic at times, and the office itself is pretty small, but it's absolutely worth it. Dr. Michel is fantastic. She has a great personality, is very knowledgeable, and always takes the time to answer questions and explain things clearly. She's easy to talk to and makes eye exams feel much less stressful. The front office staff is also always kind, pleasant, and easy to work with. I especially appreciate how easy it is to make appointments by phone or text. I go every year for my eye exam and prescription update, and the process is always smooth and efficient. I'll definitely keep coming back and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an optometrist.

If you are considering Vista Costco Optical for an eye exam, FYI…read more.. Called to make an appointment and received a text message directing me to submit a request online with the Office of Dr. Kimberly Michel. Received a call back and appointment was made for next business day. I presumed the appointment would be with Dr. Michel as she is the only O.D. listed on the in-store signage and also on the header of the online request form. It wasn't until I was taken into the exam room that I realized the doctor I was seeing was not Dr. Michel, as I had both wanted and expected. I would have appreciated having that information made clear at scheduling so that I was seeing the doctor I intended to, especially since I was paying out of pocket. When I asked about it, I was told detailed information was sent in the appointment reminder message. I never received a message, possibly due to the short turnaround time. Regardless, l'm hoping my experience was an oversight and not standard practice. The O.D. I saw was fine but I left the office with a bait-and-switch feeling.

Dr. Osborne is a wonderful optometrist; he knows his field and isn't afraid to share his knowledge…read more I'm known for asking an endless slew of questions, but he answered every one. I came in for a check up and he ran a full battery of visual tests, some that I've never seen before. The exam process wasn't painful or discomforting; it was actually enjoyable to hear what the tests were assessing as they were being conducted (ex: I'm near sighted and wear glasses constantly... there's a part of the exam where you put on a non-prescription pair of glasses with a card extended outward from the middle of the frame... he asks you to read it aloud, and progressively pushes it closer to your eyes. If you're still able to read it the closer it gets, it means that you wear your glasses often enough to keep your eyes healthy -- awesome!). The doc's got a gentle touch too. I have a scar on my cornea, and warned that I've had it for a long time. Usually, they have to put a dye in my eye to make sure it's not a fresh wound... and more often than not, I get this huge orange droplet that splashes everywhere, or get that uncomfortable pressure when the optometrist pulls down the lower eye lid. That didn't happen here; I hardly noticed the drop. After the appointment, I had to up my prescription again and get a new pair (/fistpump -- YES! The old one was crooked and the lens was always popping out). The girl who helped me pick out a frame was dealing with some touchy customers, but that didn't stop her from walking around the walls with me and trying on new frames. She gave some great input and we narrowed down the choices to 3 pairs. I told her my motorcycle is my main source of transportation, so the deciding factor would be what's the most flexible pair that can withstand all the running around I'm going to do in them. I believe her name's Maria, so let's use that... "Where's your helmet?" Maria asked kindly. I didn't bring it, yet she was encouraging: "If your close by, maybe you/your fiance can run back real quick and get it! No rush of course, but that way, you can try on the frames with your helmet on." Talk about smart. I looked a bit dorky with my helmet on in the office, but I found a pair that slid on and off easily, even with the tight squeeze. They were Nike w/ Flexon frames and went "all out" on them since I love my glasses: transition lenses with the clear view coating to eliminate glare. I've got VSP insurance, so it came to $236 in total. Not bad, saying my last nike pair was $387. What a happy coincidence that this is the closest location to my house... I know you only visit the optometrist every year or so, but I'd look forward to visiting him any day of the week! I recommend his office to anyone. He's got a great staff and you'll be happy with the services you receive.
