Every visit feels thorough, and although the office is usually very busy, I never feel rushed. Dr. Dabit takes the time to explain things and answers all my questions thoroughly. That said, I do think the front desk staff could use a bit more training. On more than one occasion, my appointment time has been incorrect, or I've received reminders with conflicting information. It can be frustrating, especially with a busy schedule, but I'm hopeful this is something they can tighten up over time. Overall, I would say the quality of care at EyeCare Associates is top notch. I highly recommend giving this office a try.

Note that that none of the negative reviews below have anything to do with Dr. Stern himself and how comfortably he works with little kids. My son is very hesitant about going to the doctor's office. Dr. Stern made him feel right at home, letting him sit on my lap the whole time and bringing out two very old children's toys that amazed my iPad-obsessed son. Dr. Stern is patient, gentle and knows exactly how to talk to children. Even the tools that he used to evaluate color-blindness and depth perception were adorable. It was like Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. In the end, my son said he was very excited to come back. Regarding the scheduling process, it was a breeze. Dr. Stern even agreed to accommodate us on a Saturday! Who does that? I would recommend that you take the reviews below with a grain of salt and base your decision on this, our very recent experience. Who knows? Maybe things have changed for the better. That's the point of Yelp.

With an underlying chronic illness, it was important to find someone who was both competent and wouldn't leave me sitting in the waiting room for hours for every visit. I took a chance on Dr. Gelbart from the great Yelp reviews and also because he has an office near my house. I can only say how relieved I was to find him! A consummate professional, he is caring, thorough and very knowledgeable. I now feel I am in much better hands now then I ever was before at the 'top' doctor at the other clinic. The office may not be flashy, but the quality of care is superb. Nothing but good things to say about Dr. Gelbart!

I am so fortunate to have found Dr. Gelbart. I'd always been told that my eyes were complicated,…read morebut I had no clue just how complicated. I began seeing Dr. Gelbart in October 2013, after a horrifying event in February that left me a blink away from blindness. The procedure to save my sight and reduce the IOP sent me on a fast track to cataracts, something that UCSF had not informed me was a possibility. I had surgery in March and April of 2014 and could not be happier with the outcome. It is worth the weekly appointments, countless tests to check the topography of each eye and all of the other screenings. Not only is he a skilled surgeon, he is also a good listener, extremely calm, kind, smart and patient. He weathered my emotional storms and gave me sight that I could never have imagined. While it is true that there is often a long wait, relax and try to understand that complex problems require time, and know that when it's your turn in that chair, you will also receive that same quality of care. Oh, and I neglected to add that he is a humble surgeon--rare as that is, it's true. As another patient entering his office one afternoon sang, "that man in there, Doctor Gelbart, gives sight to the bind!" and he is absolutely correct. Claudia runs the front of the office and she is beyond phenomenal! Every office needs a Claudia. She is extremely smart, professional, efficient, calm and caring. She, like Dr. Gelbart, lived through a few of my emotional tantrums and it did not seem to phase her, but rather she managed to make everything feel "all better", much like a good mom would do. So comforting to know that she both knows and does her job so well. When she tells you that she will do something, consider it done! This review would not be complete if I neglected to mention Dr. Ahgee Guo, the optometrist at the Stonestown office. Previous to Dr. Guo I had been seeing the same guy, family run business in the Mission, and just thought that they were all alike; busy and uncaring. Dr. Guo is super smart, super kind and sweet, and never makes you feel rushed. She saw me through some really rough times, times when I just couldn't really see. Her knowledge of my extreme farsightedness and narrow angle glaucoma blew me away. If you want the best, look no further! I am forever grateful

This place is great, the doctor (I honestly forget his name) is terrific, walks the line of professionalism and friendly personality perfectly. His staff is also amazing, for someone who doesn't love going to these types of appointments everyone made me feel comfortable and like it wasn't a hassle being there. If you are looking for a new eye doctor or a place to buy glasses/sunglasses I highly recommend Eye Exam of California and the LensCrafters which homes it! Thanks again!

I had an appointment at 10am on a weekday and I had to scramble dropping off my toddlers at daycare, answer some work calls, etc and after struggling to find parking at Stonestown I arrived 12 minutes late and the lady who checked me in was rude. She said their late policy is only 10 minutes and because I exceeded 2 minutes they couldn't see me in. And I understand. However, I asked her to see if there's any other availability that day she told me to "go check on your phone" and she left to greet other customers and walked the floor doing absolutely nothing. There was no signal in that store so it took me a while to load the page, later on another person came out and asked me if I had been assisted. I told him what happened and he offered to check for availability in that store (which unfortunately they didnt have) and he went ahead and called the Colma location for me and booked me there. This is what customer service looks like and I swear some people shouldnt be front-facing if they hate people
