This review is not a reflection on the quality of care of Dr. Vipapan (he's great) except for the…read morefact that he hired the rudest optician, Laura. I have been at this practice for ten years but am leaving after having been subject to her rude, dismissive treatment during two recent visits. The poor ladies at the front desk clearly live in terror of this new optician and the vibe is really sad in there, to see how she treats them and how she treats the patients. I decided to follow Mindy, the previous optician, to her new practice Oculus, in South Pasadena. Mindy is the smartest, kindest, most competent optician I've ever seen and I have already called for my first appointment at Oculus, where it was such a breath of fresh air to call and talk to friendly people who clearly enjoy working there.

I was able to get a convenient appointment time and was seen promptly…read more The staff and Dr. Grace Wong, were all professional and thorough. They were excellent communicators. I was given recommendations for OTC medication for eye care, which was helpful. Changes in my prescription were explained well and I was given options. As a result felt like I was an active participant in my eye health. I would recommend them to friends and family without reservations.

I've spent the past week visiting several Optometrists and Eye Care Centers, and none of them had a policy like this. Most places encourage you to look around at your own pace. This policy made the experience feel unwelcoming and left a poor impression.

Eric To, OD., FSLS is the best optometrist I've been to in a very long time. I recently switched…read morefrom Stein Optometry in Burbank to Lumen because Dr. To truly cares about his patients. The entire staff is amazing--super professional, the environment is very clean, and they have a beautiful, stylish selection of glasses. Dr. To recommended computer glasses for me, which had never been suggested during the years I went to Stein. I always felt my regular glasses were too strong when working close to my computer, since I sit pretty close to the screen and my nearsighted prescription made things uncomfortable at that distance. The computer glasses have made an incredible difference. I also switched to scleral contact lenses, and they've been a total game changer. My disposable contacts just don't compare--I used to experience some blurriness with them. Dr. To explained why that happens, and the staff walked me through how to properly care for the new lenses, including how to insert and remove them. I can't imagine going back to my old contacts now. The scleral lenses are extremely comfortable, stay in place, and are custom fit to my eyes. I highly recommend Dr. To.

It's too bad Yelp doesn't allow for zero stars. This review is not about Linden as a whole, but…read moreabout the bedside manner a particular doctor in their practice lacks. I recommend Linden to others. I don't believe in gatekeeping. The eye exam process is usually easy, plus they have incredible selection of glasses. This one measly star is to help others make an educated choice about what kind of provider they choose to see. I was assigned Dr. Chan. I went to her knowing that my vision had degraded since my last visit two years ago. At the beginning of the visit, I let her know I was having a harder time seeing and that I have a serious medical issue that impacts my vision with some regularity. She did a traditional exam and confirmed that I needed a stronger prescription. She suggested I move to progressive lenses. Fair enough. She asked zero follow-up questions, so when she asked if I had questions, I took that as my opportunity to address how my medical condition could be exacerbated by the process of adjusting to transitional lenses. I could tell she didn't have a firm answer, but instead of just saying that, she was incredibly dismissive. She said she had other patients who had seizures and chronic migraines (symptoms of the larger condition), and instead of asking questions, took the route of showing me laminated literature. I started to feel like I was being read a script instead of seeing a doctor. The tipping point was when she showed me what it would look like to look through a pair of progressive lenses and then said, "See, you didn't have a seizure." I was so taken aback by the comment, I responded: "You know it doesn't work that way, right?" Doctors at their core are diagnosticians. If you aren't transparent, they are not able to do their job. But, no matter how much work you put in occasionally you run into doctors like Dr. Chan who are more interested in getting you out the door than making sure the patient has proper care. Having a ghost illness makes life a little less manageable day to day, and folks like Dr Chan make life a little more painful. In the end, I thanked her for her time and chose not to stay. I'll take my business elsewhere, and when someone asks where I got my glasses (which happens a lot), I will tell them the truth. It is not my job to ruin Linden, but it is Dr. Chan's job to treat patients with respect.

She made everything so easy and stress-free by clearly explaining my condition--a minor eye infection--and recommending the perfect treatment along with the ideal prescription for my new glasses.

I highly recommend See Clear Optometry (and especially Dr. Boutros) to anyone in the Pasadena area or nearby communities looking for compassionate, high-quality eye care. Panos B
