Front of office
Sylvia L.

I have been bringing my boys here for 7 years now. They both wear glasses and contacts. Easy to make an appointment, good selection of glasses, and office staff is very helpful in explaining benefits with insurance, costs, etc. overall, has always been clean, organized and efficient. I recently took my daughter who does not currently wear glasses, but has developed some vision focusing symptoms and headaches. I was blown away by Doctors patience in understanding my daughter's concerns. Doctor is very knowledgeable and shows sincere concern to get down to the issue. She did a very thorough vision exam on her, while explaining the reasons for the, along the way. In the end, she was honest in suggesting other options are tried first before purchasing glasses. I appreciate businesses that are genuine about the well being of their patients, rather than making the money. A very knowledgeable and honest optometrist that I will continue sending my family too.

Both are incorrect but left Rx is way off
Marianne S.

I purchased my 3-year old son's prescription glasses here back in April. When my son went in for his follow-up with the ophthalmologist 4 months later, the doctor found out Infocus had filled both his lens incorrectly and the left Rx is way off. See photo. I was so upset that this happened to my son and he also complained of headaches while wearing these glasses. The glasses Rx is a medical prescription that is supposed to be filled exactly. When I told Infocus, they ordered the new lens and told me that the doctor entered the numbers incorrectly into the system when they transposed from ophthalmology to optometry prescription. This is not a good excuse as this conversion is a standard and common procedure that they perform. They should implement checks into their process so this doesn't happen again. As compensation for their negligence, they remade both lens for free... even though both were done incorrectly! Again, my son is only 3. I'm very concerned he wore the wrong Rx during a critical time of eye development. No matter what age, be careful getting your prescription glasses here. There are many other stores with proper checks and better customer service.

The Eye Shop has the most fantastic team I've ever worked with. Huge shoutout to Ben for being…read morepatient with me and answering all my questions over the phone and helping me out with the smallest of requests. The Eye Shop has always been my go-to because they value transparency and always find me the best deals even when it's not in their favor. I always feel secure going to them with my insurance questions and end up getting great deals that I wouldn't have known about. I have never had an issue with any of the staff and always leave feeling better than how I started. Thank you for being an amazing part of the Arcadia neighborhood.

I had a fantastic experience at The Eye Shop Optometry!! It is located on the Albertsons plaza…read more There's plenty of parking. Making an appointment was as easy as calling the optometry and giving them information on my insurance plan (where they are able to look it up and tell you the benefits). On the day of the appointment, I recommend coming early to fill out the intake form as a new patient and bringing your existing prescribed glasses. Afterwards, I took some quick check-in test before seeing the doctor. Dr. Nguyen did my eye exams and she was wonderful! She was thorough, explained everything in an easy to understand/detailed manner, gave really practical and actionable advice, and answered all the questions I had. The front desk folks, Ben and Raul, were also amazing!! They were super friendly, kind, and helpful throughout my visit. What I most appreciated was that they explained all the benefits of my insurance and shared their recommendations on what frames and lense features to choose given my benefits. In terms of frames, they carry name brands like Gucci, Fendi, Versace, Prada, Tom Ford, etc. Plenty to choose from. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better optometry experience.

I've been coming here since 2016 for my regular checkups and contact lenses. Dr. William is…read moreawesome. He and his team always take care of you and make the whole process easy. He does a very thorough exam every time and makes sure everything looks good with your eyes. I also appreciate that he's helped me out with extra contact packs when I've been running low. They take most insurance. I've been using VSP here with no issues. Pricing on contacts is also pretty comparable to other places, which is another reason I keep coming back. Overall a solid and reliable spot. Definitely recommend.

I've been seeing Dr. Chang for about 7 years now, great doctor always a good experience…read more My contact lens prescription expired 3 months ago (apparently they only are good for one year) and I just wanted to reorder another box until my next annual appointment in a few months. I looked up that sometimes they can do a courtesy extension of the prescription if your vision has been stable and have no issues. I asked for such an extension but was told multiple times I would have to get another contact lens exam for $160 (out of pocket) in addition to the cost of the lenses. I think that as a long time patient they should be able to accommodate such an easy request, since I would be getting my annual exam soon again anyway. It's not easy to schedule an unnecessary exam especially with a busy schedule, just to get a box of contacts. Bottom line loyalty doesn't seem to count here and maybe it's time to switch optometrists.

They also consistently have a great variety of glasses to select from as well. I want to also put out a special shout out to Mimi as she has assisted me with glasses selections over the years and she is incredibly patient, kind and really listens to you about what your looking for and is just so sweet and efficient! Thank you all for a great experience over the years!

By far the worst experience I've ever had at an optometry office…read more The doctors themselves were just "eh." I felt rushed during my exam. The staff was also not very welcoming or professional. They would stand around talking amongst themselves as if patients weren't even standing in front of them, and only acknowledge you when they were ready. The billing experience was by far the worst part. After my exam, I was left waiting for the biller to come speak with me. When she finally came out, she told me, "You don't have vision insurance. You have a discount rate. If you buy frames from us, your exam is only $25. If you don't, it's $95." I explained to her that I had specifically called the office before making my appointment because I had just gotten new vision insurance and wanted to make sure I found an office that accepted it. I had also printed my insurance card. When I made the appointment, I was told that they accepted my insurance and that my copay would be $25. After looking at my card, she said it looked like EyeMed or VSP but that she couldn't find me in the system. She then asked me to call my HR department or insurance company. So I did. I had an insurance representative on the phone and handed the phone to her. The biller told the representative that I didn't have coverage. The representative then confirmed that I had Spectera coverage. The biller responded, "That's all we need," and then turned around and told me, "There's the problem. You have Spectera and we don't take that." I explained again that I had called in advance specifically to confirm that they accepted my insurance and had been told that they did. I even asked her to spell the name of the insurance company because I had never heard of Spectera before. Her response was, "It's Spectera. I already told you the name. It's not my team's job to know the patient's coverage. It's the patient's job." I reminded her that I had done exactly that--I called ahead of time to verify my coverage, and I was given incorrect information by the office. Throughout this interaction, staff members in the background were smiling and smirking, which made an already uncomfortable situation even worse. The biller then told me, "Fine. You can pay $95, or just walk off clean, but you get no prescription. And good luck finding someone who takes your insurance because no one in the city of Monrovia takes it." That statement was especially frustrating because I later found that Spectera is accepted at LensCrafters and by multiple optometry offices in Duarte, Monrovia, and Arcadia. I completely understand that mistakes happen. What I have a problem with is the lack of accountability and professionalism when the mistake was made by the office after I had specifically called beforehand to verify my coverage. I even asked them to pull the recording of my original call to confirm what I had been told. I work in customer service myself, and I understand that difficult situations can happen. I am also a very patient person and rarely leave negative reviews. In fact, I sat with this, thought about it, and prayed about whether I should even leave this review. I ultimately decided to share my experience because I sincerely hope no one else has to experience what I did. This was, without a doubt, one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. The lack of professionalism, communication, and accountability was extremely disappointing. I would not recommend this office based on my experience.
