My mom has been complaining about her glasses for about a year now, she said they made her dizzy and she couldn't wear them for extended periods of time for nighttime driving. NOT OKAY!
I decided to give H Street Optometry a try because of the awesome reviews and also because they have been in business forever and thats something I can trust!
I called for two appointments back to back for me and my mom for a Saturday...by the way, Saturday appointments??? Already a winner in my book! The office staff were very professional and courteous asking us if we had any specific concerns, any surgeries we had, etc. I appreciated that because they are taking the time to get to know their customers, especially since we were brand new clients.
When we first arrived I made the wrong turn and didnt realize the parking lot was in the back so if you are dumb like me, let this review guide you to the back of the office, where there is ample parking lol
We filled in two new client forms and waited only about 5 minutes to see Dr. Nguyen. She saw my mom first and I went with her to say hey my mom is in distress, help my mom! LOL exact words. She did the full exam on my mom then checked out my mom's glasses and said yeah I understand why you are having issues. She ended up creating and ordering an entire new set of glasses for my mom and we had fun picking out the frames. I must say the frames here are way better than some dingy ass optometrists where everything is all yucky and for OLD people. You know the type of frames I'm talking about!!! My mom's frames were fresh, I would've worn them if I needed glasses hahah
Then it was my turn, so she took me back and did the full exam on me too, I have had LASIK so she was just checking to see if my vision has maintained its perfection! I also have a history of glaucoma in some of my grandparents so I have to be really stringent with my eye appointments.
One thing I CANNOT stress enough when it comes to Dr. Nguyen is her attention to detail. She is up to date on the latest information and has the coolest equipment, (she doesnt do that weird ass air puff test... she does something way easier and more accurate imho) and also takes pictures of your eyeball, like INSIDE it, and then monitors it with each appointment you go to so she can identify if there are any changes. I have to stress this because once your eyes start to deteriorate there is really no fixing them, its just a steady decline. So if you can monitor things and catch them early you have a much better chance of preserving your eyesight in the long run.
I am VERY VERY picky when it comes to anything to do with my eyes as you can see my extensive review of Dr. Tooma and his laser eye surgery, and I would never bring my mom somewhere that I don't completely trust. When she picked up her glasses at the office a week later she called me to let me know they were AWESOME and she no longer gets dizzy. YAYYYYY!
For the fellas Dr. Nguyen is also really really pretty. LOL don't tell her I told you! read more
