    After my optometrist left the bag area I was forced to find a new one. I was referred to Shinmori optometry by my friend and I soon realized I was missing out. Shinmori opt have the best eye docs, the best technology and the best care. They truly care about my eyes and needs. They are so thorough they leave no stone/ rock unturned. So I been a happy customer since 2019. Only trust my peepers to them. Side note: They care so much that they gave me 5 pairs of contacts for FREE to hold me off till my order of contacts came in, which where backlog due to Covid. Who does that anymore? Shinmori Opt does!!

    I was so appreciative of the policies they had in place to make sure people were protected during COVID-19

    Do you need an appt just to look at the frame options? I already have a prescription but looking to buy glasses.

    I've been a patient of Dr. Pham for several years. She is an exceptional optometrist in every…read morecategory -- knowledge, professionalism and perhaps most importantly, she takes the time to understand her patient's lifestyle, work habits, concerns, etc. and to ensure that her patient is completely comfortable and leaves the office with all of their questions answered. I am a person who asks a lot of questions when it comes to healthcare. I want to know the "why" and not just be told that something is the way it is. I also want to understand preventative care and the future roadmap -- what is causing something, what things can I do differently, what is the worst case / best case / likely scenario, how does my lifestyle affect things, etc. Dr. Pham patiently and comprehensively addresses these questions. Sure, good optometrists should be knowledgeable but that is the baseline requirement in my opinion and better optometrists demonstrate professionalism and good "bedside manner" so to speak. Exceptional optometrists add a level of client care, client education, patience and treats every patient interaction as one instance of a long-term relationship. Dr. Pham embodies all of those traits which is what makes her exceptional.

    As I get older and my eyesight deteriorates more each year, I am annually reminded how fortunate I…read moream to have an eye doctor I love. Meet Dr. Pham and her team! The ultra-convenience and smooth professionalism is delivered to me via a one-stop-shop for all my eye care needs. With multiple family members in need of eye care, and multiple little ones to cart around, Crest Optometry has been so seamless with ALL of my needs. Crest has been our go-to optometrist since 2021. My entire family is seen by Dr. Pham and her staff and we are always very pleased with the level of service we receive. Top 5 reasons we LOVE Crest: #5 The staff is THE BEST. Who don't I love? They are all incredibly efficient and intuitive with knowing what I need, don't need, don't have time for, and what is most important! Efficiency. Def one of my favs is Jess. She is SO GOOD at knowing what I'm thinking and how to get me outta there ASAP! #4 Their automated messaging system to remind you of all the things you can't remember! Reminders to make an appointment, reminders to pickup your new glasses, notices that your contacts have shipped, text messages for more updates... It doesn't get any better than that. #3 Appointments are such a breeze. You are rarely kept waiting and promptly sent to start your eye tests. (By one of my FAVS, Lucas)! Shortly after, the Doctor is in and before you know it, you have your new prescription and you're ready to GO! #2 Their phenomenal and stylish array of designer frames is ENVIOUS! Outright stunning. One is left deciding amongst several cute, hip, sleep, sexy, and just amazingly fashionable glasses. I often leave my annual exam with two new frames. One of them is most likely Prada. #1 And hands-down the NUMBER ONE reason we love Crest Optometry, is of course, DR. PHAM. You will never come across an optometrist who is as passionate, enthusiastic, caring, and who will love and care for your eyeballs as well as she does. I have learned so much about my eyes, how they are changing with age, how to properly care for them, educating me with knowledgeable facts and wisdom, offering personal advice, and my eyes are so very happy. I am currently in the most comfortable contact lenses I have ever had, I have amazing glasses where I can see EVERYTHING, near and far, and special glasses to wear for night driving. Our whole family loves Crest Optometry. Even my teen daughter who is constantly damaging her frames, or losing her contacts, or needs help with picking out super trendy frames, she loves going to Crest. Hubby finally has contacts that fit his eyeballs, and frames that don't fall off his face. And my two littles are preemptively checked as well! If you are looking for a wonderful eye doctor for your family, go to Crest! Everyone there will make you feel welcome and cared for.

I returned for a re-examination and waited another two weeks. When I came back today to pick up the new glasses, the frame was extremely wide. The staff tried to adjust it, but it didn't help. When I asked to try another pair (wanted to compare) I was told that it was only the display frame and that if I wanted a brand-new one, I needed to specify that. This was the first time in all the years I've been a patient that I heard something like this. I said that a brand-new frame would be great. I paid over $400 after insurance (which is very good), and now I'm expected to accept glasses that will only become wider after a few weeks of wear. I am very disappointed with how everything turned out and am seriously considering changing to a different place. I hope the manager will help to resolve the issue, as I was told today that the manager will contact me next week

    Whoever came up with this business is an absolute genius!…read more I had two glasses that I had broken the frame and thought that was it. I really liked them and one was a very expensive frame. While at my optometrist I was recommended Vision Eyeglass Repair at 1144 S Winchester Blvd, Ste D, San Jose, CA 95128 Upon arrival, I found parking to be a bit challenging as this is a house. There is good ADA parking on the driveway. All business is done through a modified front wood door with an access window cut into it. The grounds are kept very clean and the business appears to be run by an older man and woman. I had a short wait, as there were two customers ahead of me. I learned that he tries to repair while you wait. The lady assured me he would be with me soon. Five minutes later I met the gentleman and showed him my broken glasses. He told me they could be repaired but involved repairing the hinges and other items. He gave me a price quote-which I felt was very fair considering the damage. I paid up front (they do take credit cards) and I told him he could have them for a few days. I came back a few days later and the glasses looked great. The lenses were clean, nothing was loose, the repairs looked great! I was so happy-that's why im doing this review. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this business!

Last year, I came here, but I decided not to leave a review even if their customer service was bad. As I thought, maybe it was an off way. But today's experience was the same as last years. Today, I walked around to check out the merchandise. No one greeted me or asked if I needed help. I was in the store for about 10 minutes and no one checked in to see if they could help me. I love the eyewear of the brand which is why it is the place I get my glasses. It's wild to me that the same experience that happened last year happened today - no greeting, no one asked if I needed help. But the weird thing is they greeted other people and asked them they needed help. Two years in a row of no customer service is wild. I'm sorry, but it makes no sense there's no customer service when they have at least 4 employees in the store. Y'all are not that busy. One of them was even using the table in the center to do a few push ups LOL. Really I don't understand this location except they have no customer service here. Literally don't know why they ignore me here because they did welcome other people coming in. Is it how I look? I already knew I was going to get the same glasses from last year and my prescription is the same. Easy sale, but I suppose they didn't want the sale. I've been in here for 15 minutes now and even sat on the couch to see if anyone would help, but nope. At least, I had time to write this review. I'm just going to walk over to their other store in the mall. Didn't even realize there was a Warby Parker there. Not coming back to this location again.
