We both left Dr. Shaw's office more informed about our eye health, impressed by her knowledge, and relaxed as we were NOT hounded by the sales staff! Highly recommend Dr. Shaw and her office!

I feel incredibly lucky to have found Insight Eyecare. After multiple visits, I can confidently say…read morethis is one of the most consistently positive healthcare experiences I've had. Every single person I've interacted with has been warm, professional, and genuinely caring. The office runs in a way that feels calm and intentional--never rushed, never impersonal. Isaak made the pre-exam process easy and comfortable, and Lillian, the optometrist, is fantastic--she takes the time to explain everything in a way that actually makes sense and ensures you feel informed and at ease. On one visit, Lilly also stood out for being especially friendly and reassuring, with a "no problem at all" attitude that made everything feel seamless. And Dr. Singh--truly exceptional. He gave me an incredible amount of time and attention, to the point where it honestly felt like I was his only patient that day. That level of care, thoroughness, and presence is something you just don't see often. What really sets this practice apart is the consistency--every visit, every person, every interaction reflects a high level of care and pride in what they do. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Mr Giannotti & front desk come across as rude, unprofessional and lack any type of tack or…read morecompassion for their patients.. that is my Personal experience & Mr. Giannotti can have as many patients try to discredit & bad mouth my review, but doesn't change my experience and how I was treated. The only ignorance being shown is people who tolerate this kind of behavior.. best of luck to any future patients! Side note: this platform is for people to share their own personal experience/ interactions with businesses not for other clients / patients who like the business owner to attack and bash other reviewers experiences... just because you work in the medical industry, doesn't mean you're qualified to come on here and attack other people for their own personal experience at the establishment. So before you start preaching about ignorance, maybe take a hard look in the mirror and remember what this platform is intended for.. but again, this just proves my point that this is the type of toxic male energy that this establishment attracts. Again.... Everybody has their own opinion and their own choice to go where they want to go to receive services, but It doesn't mean you can try and attack or bash other peoples experiences on here Mr Warren R...lol joke!

I've been coming here for years. I've always been on time for my appts. I've never seen the dr on…read moretime, however. This didn't bother me as I "get it." I recently moved 80 miles away from this office, but have reason to come back to SV so I kept my appt. Yesterday after driving 80 miles for this appt, hwy 17 had an incident that was going to make me 15 mins late. I called 1 hour ahead of my appt and informed of this. The front desk person informed they would likely not be able to see me. I explained I was 10 miles away but blocked. Anyhow... I showed 15 mins late and was refused service. I thought my family established a relationship with this place over the years to where we could work it out. It appears it's just an act, but as I said above, I "get it." I wouldn't be as agitated if I'd been "taken back" on-time just once for all these years. IMO, the vibe of this office changed with the attrition of the front desk folks, but what do I know, I am the fool that drove 80 miles for customer loyalty.

This is a gift type store right near the esplande which, just like it says in the name has a…read morestrong focus on reclaimed/reused items. This is an indoor location (the capitola mercantile building) somewhat away from the hustle and bustle of the esplande. While the building this is in has it's own dedicated parking lot there is also the nearby beach parking-not always a sure bet in the summer -along with some city owned surface lots not too far away. This is a smaller locally owned and sourced gifts for the home kind of place. They do a fair amount of seasonal items so if artsy santa's or clever valentines day stuff is your thing then this is your spot. They also typically have slightly higher quality then the area average beach decor shop-this particularly is true where driftwood crafts are concerned. Pricing is very fair-this spot is reasonably priced. So far I haven't really seen anything that runs more then forty ish dollars and most items are less then twenty. Given that nothing here really looks cheap that is a real value. Overall this is a superior quality gift store right off the esplande.
