I went back to pick up my new prescription glasses which needed updated lenses. As soon I put them on I could clearly see all the signs that are at a distance. I didn't have to wait at all and I was in out in less that 10 minutes. read more

Huntington Optometric Center - Free private parking JAN2026 - Optometrists Near Me - Alhambra, California

I've come here twice now for my annual eye exams and I couldn't be more grateful for Dr. Jennifer! She's thoughtful, kind, and really takes the time to explain everything clearly in a way that's easy to understand. The whole process always feels simple and smooth, which I really appreciate. She explained my astigmatism to me in a way that finally made sense! I've always struggled with night driving, and after her explanation, it all clicked. I finally understood why I was having trouble seeing clearly at night. What I also love is how she makes conversation during the exam. It's such a small thing, but it helps you feel comfortable and creates a great connection. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients. Highly recommend her if you're looking for a great eye doctor! read more

I've been going to this place for over a decade now, since Dr. Glenn Nakayama owned the practice back in 2012. I regularly saw Dr. Kajikawa who was my primary optometrist until he retired. Dr. Nishi and Dr. Gin took over but I still get the same level of care from them. I live all the way in Fullerton now but still come to them for my eye needs. Highly recommended! read more

I ran out of contacts and I contacted Huntington Optometric Center to see if they had an appointment same day as I know most places do not. Jane (front desk) was very nice, she was able to set up an eye exam for me same day. On top of being a new customer the service was very fast and helpful. I entered the building and everything was clean and professional, Ana made the exam very comfortable and fast. They definitely know what they are doing. I forgot the name of the Dr. who finished the exam and prescribed me my contacts, but she was very knowledgeable and broke down everything perfectly. She also informed me on the current condition of my eyes and more. Definitely recommend to anyone, I was able to walk out the door before my lunch was over read more

Huntington Optometric Center - Exam room - Optometrists Near Me - Alhambra, California

First time going and it was a great. Very clean space. Disinfecting all surfaces immediately after use. Friendly, patient and informative staff. Went in for a check up after not getting one for almost 2 years. Doctor Osako was informative, informed me to f/u with my pcp to rule out certain illnesses, provided me with some sample eye drops for my dry eyes. Doctor informed me about the 20-20-20 rule, after 20 minutes spent looking at a screen, one should look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Informed me of the importance of wearing uv ray protection glasses. Overall, my experience was great! Left office with new glasses for a low price! read more

Huntington Optometric Center - Prescription transition sunglasses - Optometrists Near Me - Alhambra, California

I came here for my annual contact lenses exam. During covid 19, I had a contactless temperature check. The front desk was nice and helpful, they told me to do my paperwork the night before online, so that was convenient. I didn't wait long at all, the assistant took me to get the normal eye tests, some including looking into machines. After that, Dr. Gin saw me. She was professional and kind. The entire office practices distancing, disinfecting things touched, and we all wore masks. I would highly recommend this office for your vision needs because my appointment was easy to set up and get seen pretty quickly. Also, they ordered my newly prescribed contacts for me and will have it mailed to my house. Thanks, Huntington Optometric! read more

I haven't gotten an eye exam for over two years due to very mediocre office visit with another optometrist. I know that shouldn't deter me and decided to put my vision insurance to good use. Looked up in-network doctors and made an appointment with Huntington Optometric Center since it's in the same building as my dentist. Dr. Kajikawa is the most thorough and professional optometrist I've ever seen. As a new patient, Dr. Kajikawa made me feel very comfortable and safe as he walked me through the entire assessment of my eyes and vision. He also provided a quick background overview of the optometry office to welcome me. From the 40-minute office visit, I left with an updated prescription, sample contact lenses, and confirmation that my eyes are working fine. Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Kajikawa. Excited to see if I qualify for lasik next year. Hope my vision stabilizes soon! read more

Dr. Kajikawa and his team are great! Luckily, all of my prior optometrists have been good but Dr. K has been the most thorough and detailed. If you appreciate the battery of tests and personal time spent with your healthcare provider, then this is the office for you! Appointments, so far, have been easy to schedule and the office is also open on Saturdays. You will always get a reminder postcard/phone call about your upcoming appointment. Parking is easy (on Huntington) or surrounding streets. I believe there is a private lot but have never used it. If you are in the market for a reputable and solid optometrist, coupled with excellent staff, contact them today. read more

Have been going to Dr. Kajikawa for my eye checkups, glasses, and contact lenses for the last three or so years. After going to four other optometrists over the years since I started wearing glasses in high school, Dr. Kajikawa is by far the best eye doctor of them all. 5 stars! Dr. Kajikawa is the most thorough and detailed optometrist that I've ever had! Expect a longer than usual checkup compared to other optometrists. Dr. Kajikawa takes his time to do all the check up procedures to check out your eye health. He also makes sure that you'll get the correct prescription, especially with contact lenses. In my past visits, he made me try out several different brands/pairs of contacts so that I can pinpoint the best one for my eyes. I've also gotten prescription glasses from Dr. Kajikawa, and his office carries are pretty good selection of frames to choose from. Dr. Kajikawa, along with his office staff, are very friendly and easy to talk to. They always call you to do check up and appointment reminders. As far as parking, there are a couple of reserved parking spaces for patients in the office parking lot, but if you're not lucky to get one of them, there's always free street parking on adjacent streets within a short walking distance. 22/100 for 2017 read more

A wonderful staff and a team of doctors here. Still going through some major changes that have been spoken about for many years since 2013 the office continues to serve its base clients with verve and urgency. There are wonderful technological updates and still some of the good old fashion warm and fuzzies going on here. Although the practice has been sold and passed on to a new generation I am happy to find that the important things behind customer service have not been forgotten. Parking is marked as, "Optometry," in their small parking lot and there is also a convenient IN N Out across the way if you should arrive early before an appointment. Of course, there is always the neighborhood favorite, Touhey's, for a fabulous breakfast. read more

Updated review for new location: I was one of those kids who, despite not being able to see the board in school, refused to wear his glasses. I have my mom and dad to thank for terrible myopia with a bonus astigmatism. With a left eye that is more or less the shape of a football, and a right eye that is pancaked into a donut like shape, it's a wonder I can see it all. About 15 years ago, in search of a new eye doctor, I was referred by my district office to check out Dr. Kajikawa. I knew after my first visit that I had found my new eye doctor... Until this dude retires. He is one of the most conscientious, compassionate, and caring doctors I have ever met... Not just in the optometry field, but across the medical board. Despite really only going once or maybe twice a year for annual check ups and the occasional adjustment to glasses, etc. he always remembers my name, details about my life and family, and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in until the time you leave. With the Arcadia office closed, Dr. Kajikawa now operates exclusively from the Alhambra location. About four years ago, I spoke at length with Dr. Kajikawa about getting laser eye surgery, after a couple of decades of wearing glasses. Rather than trying to talk me out of it, as if he was going to lose a patient, he carefully explained the process, walking me through each step, and even did some preparatory investigative work with my eyes, to ensure that the process would go as smoothly as possible. Turned out I had some other things going on, requiring minor surgery... This Doc has probably saved my vision more than once. Sure, I like dogs, but glad I don't need one to show me around. Any I problem I have had he is simply a phone call away, and within a day or two can always see me for an appointment. Esther, Jan, and the entire office staff are compassionate and patient. After a lifetime of eye doctors, I am so happy to be a patient of Dr. Kajikawa. He truly cares about his patients, and his practice... And now that my entire family are patients, we'll do our best to keep him in business. read more

Huntington Optometric Center - Business in the front... Glasses in the back. - Optometrists Near Me - Alhambra, California

By far the best optometrist I have been at. The Doctor was excellent, described everything in detail and she was very thorough. Similarly everyone that works there is very nice and helpful. They also helped me navigate my benefits better than anyone else before. Thank you! read more

I wish I could give a five-star review because the eye exam was very thorough and professional. Dr. Ta was attentive and made me feel comfortable. However, I was very frustrated because the two-week waiting period for my prescription sunglasses turned out to be a full month and a half. No one informed me what was going on. I had to call them a few times to ask about the status of my sunglasses. Every time I called, they just kept telling me that there was a delay from the lab. When I finally collected the sunglasses, I was disappointed too because the frame was too big. read more

I've been here 3 times and enjoyed every appointment. Staff and doctors are well knowledgeable and courteous. Clean business with upgraded technology. Parking us always easy too! read more

So I previously wrote a review and deleted it. But here's the deal: upon arrival to this recent visit, I learned that Dr. Kendrick K. is no longer there so I was "welcomed" by different faces. Under Dr. Kendrick, my waiting period was not long at all. I would pretty much be called in after checking in. With this one, the waiting period was longer than what I'm not used to. I had a 10:30 am appt and I wasn't called in until like 10:50 am. The office was empty so it didn't make sense to me having to wait that long. After the initial exams with assistant/tech, I waited another longer period for the actual Dr. to come in. The assistant Dana and the new Dr. were cool, but I still feel some type of way for having to wait. Once I proceeded to check new frames, I guess the woman that was suppose to help me out was chatting with another patient. I mean, I get it. I love to go on and on, but as professionals, I feel like the woman (staff member) had to cut it at some point to the patient. Though the waiting period for that was much shorter I did notice that Dana had to step in and assist me because the other staff member was chatting with the other patient. Dana really did stand out. She was helpful and professional. Again, Dr. was cool but Danna is the real MVP here. There's not much to say about the other staff, they were just there. I'm thinking the receptionist read the now deleted review and waived a $45 fee. I just hope that they are mindful of keeping track and or being on schedule. I scheduled an early appt to avoid traffic back home. This has been my to-go place. Again, I didn't know Dr. Kendrick wasn't here anymore. I moved to Pomona over a year ago so had to deal with a drive once I was done with this visit. If you are not local to area, it's probably not worth it anymore. read more

I kept Looking at the good doctor praying he stays young forever and never retire. I can go on about his professionalism and integrity. He is just so thorough and an expert in his field. I been a patient of his for over 8 years and you just have to make an appointment with him, you will see what I mean. I have referred him to many people and they are still his patients as well. read more

I've been looking for a new optometrist for awhile and this place was very welcoming! Dr.Kanamoto helped fit me into my new prescription. She was very thorough when discussing the changes in my prescription as well as explaining the results of my exam. It was also nice to see that she's interested in getting to know her patients a little more instead of just examining them and moving onto the next person. Overall, she did a great job making sure everything went smoothly and comfortably. I'd definitely consider coming back and recommend others to check this place out too! read more

my whole family has been seeing Dr. Kajikawa at the arcadia branch on duarte road for almost a decade, walking out with soft and rigid gas permeable contacts, glasses, bifocals, sunglasses. we're asian, so of course, we're all nearsighted and bring in a variety of vision needs. and he's really great with all of us. the arcadia office has a small waiting room stocked with magazines and a few toys for little kids. it's very clean and simple. i've never had to wait in there very long anyway. his secretaries are friendly and very informative. and they call to remind you of your appointment and are prompt with returning calls. i've had many pleasing and unrushed appointments with the doctor. he remembers his clients, answers all my questions, and even takes my last minute requests for appointments (i.e., calling in the morning for a same-day) which is awesome for emergencies. he's flexible with a multitude of vision plans and even offers discount if you don't have insurance. we've even had conversations about my post-college professional plans and i've received plenty of information about optometry school and his personal experiences in opt school. the part that makes him great is that he's knowledgeable (in his optometry school days, they learned to make hard contacts by hand, and he well understands how important exact details are. he's also beveled/smoothed out the edges of my contacts and made them smaller to better fit my eye, right in the office!!). additionally, he's patient and persistent. i'm very anal retentive about the crispness of my vision, noticing very slight deviations from lens to lens. and he's put up with this by ordering gas permeable lens after gas permeable lens until i'm completely satisfied. without complaint! and no complaints when i notice a small change and want to see him right away to get the lens switched. the cherry on top is that he gives me tons of sample solutions for my gas perms and washes the protein residue off of them when i come in to see him. and he's totally okay with me getting my super thin glasses made in taiwan; he'll adjust the fit and replace lost screws when i bring these pairs in! :) read more

Dr. Kajikawa is one of the most dedicated doctors I've ever seen. He puts the patient above all and will always go the extra mile for your convenience. After visiting his office, meeting his lovely staff, and getting an eye exam, I noticed he treats everybody like they are his family. Every patient that comes in is greeted like they are long time friends. The doctor gives a very thorough exam and has over a decade of experience to prescribe glasses, contacts, or referrals for anybody's needs. On top of quality materials and a huge selection, they cater to my convenience. If I am running late from Irvine, the doctor will stay late to see me after hours and help me himself so that his employees may return home on time. Any difficulties I have with my glasses are all taken care of because everything is on file and he always finds way to best save me money such as drilling nose pads on my plastic frames so I can wear them with my Asian nose bridge. He always tries to accommodate my every need and although I feel special, I see him extend the same courtesies to new patients and anyone that walks through his door. read more

I've been going to Dr. Kajikawa since 2008, first here at the Alhambra office, then Arcadia, now back here. He is someone I trust completely with the health of my eyes. Recently, I started to develop some abrasions on the whites of my eyes and he's been doing a great job on helping me solve the problem. If you're looking for someone who can help you with your eyes look no further. read more

Dr. Kajikawa is always so professional and personable! He took the time to get my glasses while his staff was at lunch! Really appreciated his help. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Kajikawa for 10 years or so and got my husband going to his office as well. His office is friendly, very helpful with my insurance plan information, and my appointments are on time. What I really appreciate about Dr. K is that he's thorough and teaches me about my eyes and sight correction. He explained to me that with a prescription there's comfort and correction and those two don't always work out well, which is exactly my case! When my sight is corrected to the highest degree I find my glasses to be super uncomfortable for wearing for long periods of time. Also, at high correction, everything is smaller, which is also irritating to me. So he helped me figure out what would work the best for me. Another perk about his office is that they have "alternative fit" glass frames to fit my Asian face. read more

Need the most comprehensive and pleasant eye exam possible? Look no further than the optometry office of Dr. Kendric Kajikawa, Dr. Glenn Nakayama, and Dr. Erin Osako. I've been seen by all three doctors and cannot think of one think to complain about. They're all very thorough in explaining their procedures and any questions you may have regarding vision and eye health. They all attended the Southern California College of Optometry--one of the most competitive programs in the country. It's safe to say they all know their stuff. The staff is incredibly attentive and diligent. I've been to offices where I had to sometimes wait up to 15 minutes past my scheduled appointment time to even be noticed by anyone, but not here! As soon as you step in, someone is there to immediately greet and assist you. Every visit has been pleasant from beginning to end. read more

Dr. Stacey Gin is knowledgeable, thorough, courteous and proficient. She and her staff provided EXCEPTIONAL service. Thankful to have found such a professional practice. Recommend this practice to everyone. read more

I've been going to Dr. Kajikawa for over ten years now and he is the absolute BEST optometrists I've ever had. I have been going to eye doctors for over 30 years, from small- and mid-size practices to large HMOs, and the comprehensiveness of the care I've received from those places doesn't even come close to that of Kajikawa's services. In fact, I don't think I've ever had a doctor in any medical field work as hard as him to ensure that I was getting the best care. I recommend Dr. Kajikawa to anyone in need of an optometrist. He's great with kids, too. I bring my kids, ages 11 and 14, to him and have been for several years. read more

This is my all-time favorite eye doctor. Hands-down the best eye doctor I have ever seen in the history of all the eye doctors. The most amazing eye doctor you could ever hope to get an appointment with. He spends a lot of time with you and really gets to know you. He even helped me to diagnose an eye issue that I've been having for years. Great selection of frames as well!! Absolutely love Dr. Kendrick!!! read more

Dr. Kajikawa and his staff are great! He was patient with me in trying to figure out the best prescription for both my glasses and contacts so my vision is as clear as can be while keeping my eyes comfortable, because of my astigmatism. read more

Got a bad prescription from another eye doctor and just wore my old pair and waited until my insurance would pay for another exam. I switched to Dr. Kajikawa based on reviews here and am not sorry! He did a fantastic job. I picked up my new glasses today and see better than I ever have! read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME and see other doctors....I did and could not see properly for two years. I was too lazy to drive the extra 4 miles to his Alhambra office and found a place close to home. Big mistake...have not seen this well in a LONG time. read more

Have been very satisfied with this office since switching over from my last optometrist office. They're very personable and easy going and I think anyone who goes there would say the same. They'll check what your vision coverage is and let you know if you're within your limits. It's so helpful to know so that I can make an informed decision on whether I want to get the extra options on glasses or the services that are available or not. Was also pleasantly surprised that they have a couple of personnel that can converse in total Japanese. It's kind of rare nowadays since not many keep up with the language, but it was soooooo darn helpful to me since I'm not able to explain all those intricate details to my Mom. Thanks Dr. Kajikawa & crew! Really glad I found them!! read more

Dr. Kajikawa has been the absolutely phenomenal in the past 7 years that I've been seeing him. After having trouble finding a knowledgeable and affordable Optometrist, a friend referred me to him, and has not been elsewhere since. Doctor Kajikawa always gets my prescription right on, and does an excellent job of clearing answering any questions I have. Spending 45 min to an hour per appointment, the doctor ensures that I know more about my vision than I could possibly have ever expecting. Not only that, but the doctor genuinely cares about his patients. He also checks up on me, my work, and the friends that I have referred to his practice. As for constant care, Doctor Kajikawa is also flexible with his schedule and in a pinch will fit me in if needed. When I was having vision problems after getting accidentally hit in the eye, the doctor rushed me into his office the next day, and quickly solved the visions problems I was encountering. If you are like me when I look for a doctor, I check for three main things: price, consistency and quality. Dr. Kajikawa was definitely one of the cheaper more affordable Optometrists that I found while I was previously searching for an eye doctor. Also, the quality and consistency of the doctor is definitely unmatched. One last note is that Doctor Kajikawa has two offices. Since I live closer to Alhambra, I usually go to that office. But a couple times I have been to his Arcadia office, which was definitely really nice and easily accessible. So for those a little further east, the Alhambra office is definitely just as nice. read more

I've been seeing Kendric for more than 20 years, even though I live in Lake Arrowhead, which is about an hour and a half away (but I used to live in Pasadena) He's been very professional and always friendly. I recommended my best friend, my mom, my stepdad and my brother-in-law and they've been pleased with the service as well. read more

Highly recommend this place. Dr. Kajikawa does very thorough exam and explains everything. No optometrist has explained those to me. Had an exceptional exam done today. read more

I followed other Yelp reviewers to Dr. Kajikawa's Alhambra office, and I've been nothing but pleased. The office staff is friendly, and they were punctual with my appointment time. Dr. Kajikawa spent a good amount of time talking to me about my eye history and going through the exam. He found that my previous prescription was incorrect and causing a lot of eye strain. He's thorough, friendly, and really seems to know his stuff. I picked up my glasses today, and the difference is amazing. I usually buy my glasses online, but I decided to purchase them through the office, and I am SO much happier with the quality. Dr. Kajikawa even stayed after hours to fit my glasses. Definitely glad I found this office! read more

I have been going to a large Optometry Group for the last three years. I was examined by a different optometrist every year. Last year I was scheduled to be examined by one of the owner. At the last minute I was assigned to a different optometrist without notice. The optometrist was friendly and the exam was brief. I returned a couple of weeks later to pickup my glasses. The glasses were out of focus. The group corrected the prescription error. I decided to try a different optometrist this year. I found Kendric Kajikawa, O.D. listing in Yelp in the City of Alhambra. I was able to schedule an appointment the same day due to a cancellation. The optometrist reviewed all my old prescriptions and compared the last prescription to the glasses I was wearing. He found an refraction error in one of the lens in one of the pair of glasses. He performed a through examination taking time to explain his findings during the examination. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Kajikawa's for about 15 years, and now my kids even go to him. He is professional, caring and thoughtful. When I had a retina problem a few years ago he referred me to a top notch retina specialist and followed up with me. His staff goes the extra mile and is super helpful and professional. read more

I have been bringing my family to see Dr Kajikawa for a couple of years now. I found him through an excellent yelp review. I was very glad and relieved that the review was spot on. My son and daughter both went in to get new prescriptions recently before they go off to college. Dr Kajikawa was thankfully very patient with both of them...most especially my daughter. He went over and above to help her find the perfect glasses. After trying on probably about a hundred glasses in two different offices she finally found her pair. Dr Kajikawa was never anything but patient and kind to her even when I was so over it. I am grateful and thankful that he has their best interest at heart and that he takes care of them so thoroughly. read more

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Kajikawa since the 1970's. He has always given meticulous attention to our eye care and has always, always been patient and kind. He is completely dedicated to his profession and to his patients. As my eyes have aged he has correctly diagnosed several problems and referred me to excellent specialists. Recently I injured my eye. He stayed late while I rushed in and he intervened on my behalf with a highly regarded retinologist who, because of his good relationship with Dr.K., also stayed late and treated my injury. In addition to Dr. Kajikawa's excellent care, his staff is friendly, efficient and always ready to help, whether it's with scheduling an appointment, performing a test or helping with the selection of eyeglass frames. Everything, and everyone, in this practice are terrific. read more

I have been going to Dr. Kajikawa since I first started having blurry vision. He was very professional and even knew my family, since they were the one's to refer me. The following year, I went to another eye doctor and was very disappointed, I came back to dr. Kajikawa the following year and have been back every year since. He never lets me down if his eye exams and is always super friendly and courteous. read more

In a world where the medical profession is bound above all by economic terms, it is comforting and commendable to find a "professional" like Dr. Kajikawa that exudes knowledge and experience in his field but also with an obvious passion for his profession and care for the patient.
