    My son was eligible for sunglasses with our vision program.

    Amazing optometrist. Super friendly staff. Very helpful and great at exposing what is available and how insurance helps. Friendly reminders after a year. We have already been back. And will be back again.

    The workers here are pretty friendly. Didn't have an appointment but they did take me in as a "walk-in" last minute. Did feel a little rush during the exam...could have spent more time as I wasn't too sure if they where accurate or not. Didn't feel pressure to make a purchase after the exam. Would use them again in the future.

    For my exam, I expressed to Victoria that I did not feel like my previous glasses prescription was accurate.

    Peninsula Ophthalmology Group - More eye examination going on.

    The Peninsula Ophthalmology Group in Burlingame are the ones taking care of the health of my 88yr…read moreold mother's eyes. Normally, they are great, but today they had some issues, namely being way overbooked and understaffed. Our appointment was for 11am for an eye exam and checkup/followup for my mother's macular degeneration/cataracts/and overall vision health. Front of house: 3 stars. Very crowded and long wait in the waiting room. At least it was clean, but they clearly did not have enough chairs for the throngs of patients waiting for their eye exams. The receptionists were pre-occupied gossiping & chatting instead of greeting patients. When we finally were able to check in, the receptionist was pretty cold and unwelcoming. Over the phone, they are all very nice and attentive, but in person, they seemed to care more about their personal lives than helping their patients. While waiting, I did walk around and browse the very expensive eyeglasses. I found one that I liked for myself and I was stunned at the cost: $550 just for the frames. Add lenses and extras and it would be $800-1000. Nice, quality, attractive stuff, but no thanks. The designer stuff from Oakley, Maui Jim, etc was all around 2x the retail price from what I know about their costs. But I guess this is Burlingame, and people will pay those premium prices, just because they can afford it? Not me. Anyways, back to the service... Technician/nurse/first assistant: 5 stars. A lady named Donna was the best part of this clinic. Her chair side manner, patience, attention to detail, efficiency, care, and thoroughness were very impressive. She really took great care of my mother as she guided her gently through the process of the eye exam, x-rays, and tests. She was wonderful and I can tell that she loves her job helping people at this clinic. She was very clear, very sensitive, took her time doing all the procedures, and her professionalism & kind spirit are top-notch. We spent the most time with her at the screening machines, then later in the exam room. She is single-handedly, the best part of this clinic. The doctor: after such a pleasant and fantastic experience with Donna the technician, Dr Chern made us wait approximately 45 minutes only to come in, mutter a few quick words, then quickly ran off to deal with other overbooked patients. He was professional, but very short and cold. He seemed to care more about moving on to the next patient, not really interested in listening to or answering my mother's questions. I've never seen a doctor who seemed so rushed and preoccupied with moving on with his day. This is probably prof the they are indeed overbooked here, and as other Yelpers have said, this place does feel like a mill or conveyor belt. Anyways, he saw us for all of about 1-2 minutes and quickly disappeared. When we asked to speak to him about other questions, the receptionist said that he was already with his other patients. Oh well, at least we got to meet him. One star for his rush and inability to spend a little more time with us, despite making us wait 45 minutes for his surprise appearance. All in all, the clinic is ok. The phone call and the technician were the best aspects of their operation. The reception and doctors were pretty cold, rushed, detached, and focused on other things not about us. Donna gets 5-stars for saving this overall experience. She is real, genuine, caring, gentle, efficient, professional, and engaged in her job. The clinic does suffer from overbooking, long wait times, rushed appointments, and cold doctors. The eyeglass center suffers from extremely high & unnecessarily inflated pricing of not even the highest end of designer glasses. The office is clean, crowded, but conveniently located near 101/Millbrae/Peninsula Hospital. Ample parking, and a nice modern building. I only wish that the front of the house and the doctors here were as stellar as Donna the technician. That would indeed create a 5-star experience, but today, they only got 3, and that's because of the incredible exam that was administered by Donna!

    Patient wait times are horrendous. They don't care that you show up on time for appointments…read more You'll still wait anywhere from 40 minutes to 1.5 hours before being seen. Patients aren't the priority, high volumes of patients seem to be the priority. Front office staff are pleasant but clearly overwhelmed. The doctors are efficient with their exams, almost robotic, and you can tell they are working in a patient mill.

It was also easy to order another pair, when I traveled out-of-state. Warby Parker has come a long way in quality since its inception in 2010. As a former LensCrafters employee (2001-2004), I was intrigued by their initially online-only business model and curious about quality. My first brick and mortar visit/purchase was on Ramona Street in Palo Alto and quality was not very good (mostly noted in weak spring hinges). Last year, I decided to give them another shot and was impressed by the progression in quality / value since then... they have a lot of styles and while the brands aren't designer, for the price, you can't go wrong. Quality has definitely improved. Also, I love their "Buy a Pair, Give a Pair" program, which helps distribute glasses to those in need... in my opinion, 100x better than LensCrafters "Gift of Sight" program, which includes a lengthy application program and used customer frame donations - two things the world doesn't need more of... while I can appreciate upcycling & recycling, a new, fresh pair can not only provide vision, but hope, for someone in need. Why should "new" be reserved for only a certain population of people? It will be interesting to see how both Warby Parker & LensCrafters play out financially in the upcoming months. I haven't analyzed the business model for pricier competitor LensCrafters in a while, but as a frame stylist in the early 2000s, it relied heavily on insurance and corporate reimbursement. With the job market/economy in great flux, my money is on Warby Parker.
