Needed to get my contact prescription renewed and found this place on yelp (takes VSP insurance). The front staff was friendly and the doctor is very approachable. Was in and out in less than 30 minutes (I don't have any big eye issues). Parking is easy and the inside is spacious and clean. So glad to have found a great optometry near me! read more

We are fairly new to the area and had been looking for a good local optometrist for my son and I. I came across La Verne Optometry on Yelp. Staff and doctor were extremely friendly, from the initial phone contact through the day of our appointment. read more

I had my first visit here today, it was a great experience! The staff was very friendly, the appt was quick & easy. Dr. Alva was amazing and really spent time to make sure all of my questions were answered that previous dr's haven't been able to provide much clarity on, I definitely have found my permanent optometrist office :) read more

Simple, straightforward, and skilled! I enjoyed that the doctor took the time to explain things and ask what my vision priorities are (computer vs distance) and adjust accordingly. read more

Dr. Alva and staff were so kind and courteous. I highly recommend this wonderful establishment to anyone in need of top notch, high quality specs! read more

Dr's and staff are attentive; good listeners. Office is clean and orderly. Atmosphere is peaceful

I'm so happy we found this gem in our own town! For the past 9 years we have been taking my son to get his glasses at a child specialty shop in Brea. He's outgrown their styles and I've outgrown their cost to my pocketbook! I follow our la Verne fb page and La Verne Optometry has made a few posts. I called to see if they take children clients...and they do! Their facility is state of the art with a warm and friendly staff. My son picked up his glasses today, and they were perfect! Definitely a business my family will continue to support. read more

La Verne Optometry - My 11 year old with his new glasses from La Verne Optometry. - Optometrists Near Me - La Verne, California

Buyer beware. I went to La Verne Optometry in La Verne, CA to have my eyes examined and to purchase progressive eyeglasses. I had my eyes examined, and I picked out a frame. About a week later they called me and said my glasses were ready, but when I went to pick them up, the computer vision part of the glasses was very blurry. Since I had purchased 3 pairs of progressive classes in the past 25 years, I knew what a good pair of progressive glasses should be. They agreed to send them back for correction. The second time they came back the same way, blurry. They sent them out a third time, but they came back the same, blurry. At this point I asked for a refund, they refused. I had spent $1,300 at La Verne Optometry and the glasses they created were unwearable. This forced me to go to a different optometrist and pay out of pocket for a pair of progressive glasses. I did, and this optometrist did an excellent job creating a very good pair of progressive glasses. It seemed to me that at La Verne Optometry, profit was more important than customer satisfaction. Needless to say, I won't be returning to La Verne Optometry. Buyer beware. read more

Dr. Alva was great. He was very personable and kind. Also, very professional. He took the time to show me on a graphic of the eye, what was going on in my eyes. This seems to be a lost art in the medical field. His staff makes you feel like you're not just a number. I will be recommending Dr. Alva to my family and friends. read more

Love my kids' new optometrist! This place is super clean and they are very nice. We saw Dr Alva and he is the best fit for our kids. Super knowledgeable and super friendly with kids. Dumping my previous optometrist who failed to provide us with good care. Thank you, Dr. Alva and staff! read more

La Verne Optometry - My little Nickle Pickle picking his new specs! - Optometrists Near Me - La Verne, California

La Verne Optometry was amazing! I had my first visit this morning , and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From beging to end EVERYONE was so kind and helpful. Sonya was so sweet and patient and made sure I was happy with the glasses I chose.(which I've never been happy with a pair before because I never got the help I did today in choosing the perfect pair!) The Dr was nice, and very informative. I have been wearing glasses since I was 8 years old, and have been to plenty optometrist. So, it really impressed me of how satisfied and happy I was when I left their office! read more

I couldn't speak more highly of this optometry! Our 3yo son had a swollen eye and what we THOUGHT was a stye until a pharmacist recommended we get him seen because it looked infected. I called the optometry and told them what was happening- keep in mind it's New Year's Eve and everyone is trying to get seen before the new year- Erika was sooo kind and told us she could get us in as an emergency visit. We got there in 15 min and were seen almost immediately. Dr. Alva was kind, attentive, and great with our 3 year old. He helped our son feel comfortable in a setting we'd never been before. His eye turned out to have an infection and they treated him accordingly. Couldn't be more grateful for this team, it seems they really do care. read more

Wow!!!! If you want to be treated like a VIP this is the place to go!!! From the second we walked in to check out this place. We were greeted by Erika! She answered all or question, checked our insurance benefits and set up our appointments!!!! On the day of our appointment Erika made sure we were nice and safe. She checked our temperature and made sure we washed our hands. That was great to see that they care about the health of all patience. Dr Alva was amazing he explained everything and was very professional!!! Then we met Sonia she showed us an amazing selection of frames!! So many choices!!! She made sure we were aware of all our benefits (which I was not aware of) so we got all the extras! If you need glasses this is the place to go!!!! -Teresa read more

What a wonderful find! Dr. Alva and his staff are top of the line wonderful! Every step and interaction was professional, kind, and thorough. What a difference to come here. I had not gone to an eye doctor for many years, but have taken plenty of my own children to one. Now it was my turn. He was recommended by family and friends and now I see why -- personal service, spotless office, efficient and kind staff, and Dr. Alva was the best. He took time to explain things, make sure I understood them, and even asked how my "non-eye" life was. Who still does that? They also have a good selection of eyewear at reasonable prices and do not try to sell you anything more than what you need or want. This is THE best eye doctor and office around. Don't look elsewhere. This is your place. 100% recommend! read more

I've been going to this place for over 10 years, Dr Guido was always amazing! Today was my first appt with Dr. Alva & he's so nice!!! Very helpful in answering questions & a very awesome person!! He's also a family friend so it's very comforting to trust my eye doctor. The office ladies have always been very sweet & welcoming. I'm very thankful to have such a great staff working on my eye health. My eyes have been bad since I was 7 so I always take it seriously. I sincerely appreciate everyone here!!! read more

First time to have an appointment at La Verne Optometry. Dr. Alva and staff made me feel at home. Very professional from the first contact on the phone with Sonja. I had an emergency and Sonja fit me in the next day. Dr Alva used his new equipment to evaluate my emergency and it helped him to diagnose my eye emergency. Dr Alva was very compassionate and explained my problem throughly and made me feel at ease. Thank you Dr Alva and Staff. read more

I have been coming to La Verne Optometry for years. I love the service that they provide. They are all courteous and welcoming. I have been seeing Dr. Guido every year, but this year I saw Dr. Alva, he was great!! Took the time to listen to my concerns and address them all. He was very thorough and made me feel at ease. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to receive great eye care. They are taking extra precautionary measures due to COVID-19. Very clean and professional. read more

I been coming here for a couple of years. And Dr.Guido is great caring and 100% accurate he made my vision perfert. My prescribtion was on the ball. I always recommend his office They are fast and get their job done. If you looking for a eye doctor i highly recommend him read more

Kind helpful staff. Able to get an appointment quickly. Amazing with little kids. Dr. Alva has a great bedside manner with little ones. He makes them feel safe and is very understanding of their needs. Definitely will continue to bring my girls here. read more

Great service and care, additionally they always find time for appointments. I have had previous eye doctors in the past where I would have to wait 3-4 weeks for an appointment and the care wasn't nearly as good. I Wouldn't go to any other eye doctor ! read more

I've been a patient here for over 30 years, first with Dr. Buckwalter now Guido and Liu. Both are thorough, professional and show clear mastery of their vocation. Yet very personal and able to explain every test and result in language I understand. I trust them. UPDATED January 2020. Just met anc was examined by Brian Alva, OD. With Dr. Guido heading to retirement I was pleased to find that the practice will be in good hands. Pleasant, personable and professional. read more

I used Dr. Guido and then defected and went to another optometrist because it was covered by my insurance. Won't happen again. I went back to Guido because my prescription is 100% correct. His staff has always been more than accommodating and professional. They've provided excellent service and recommendations for frames and add ons to the lens. Recently my glasses were stolen. They put a rush on a replacement pair and gave me a more than fair price for the replacement set. In addition to the story above. My prescription that was corrected by Dr. Guido after defecting was less than what I paid with the insurance coverage at the other optometrist. read more

La Verne Optometry is absolutely the best. They are kind and professional, and they have squeezed me in when I've had eye issues. Any one of the doctors there will provide exceptional service and knowledge, and the front office staff is superb read more

Incredible service!! I called in for a same day appointment and they were able to see me immediately! I didn't have to wait and the dr was in front of me within 3 minutes of getting to the office. Dr Alva is amazing! So thorough, so kind and so accommodating. Thank you to the Dr and staff for such an amazing experience today. read more

Your eyes are 1 of your most important senses. At least that's what I believe. I've been going to De. Guido for decades. He's kind, thorough, patient, and highly qualified. His office staff is the same. The office is located in downtown La Verne. I highly trust Dr. Guido with my eyes. Recently, he announced he's scaling down quite a bitt and has taken on a partner, Dr. Alva. Today, I met De. Alva who is equally patient, who dialated my eyes, was thorough in the testingg of my eyes and then took the time to explain the results, giving me a review of the working of my eye and information of how my blood pressure & cholesterol are affecTing it. Gave me very helpful tips on dryness issues and more. This is a wonderful team! read more

I always feel comfortable going to La Vern Optometry. I have been going there for many years. They are always friendly and welcoming...The eye exams are done fast and easy... I'm happy to going there. read more

Always friendly, knowledgeable, great service and choice of frames. Great Doctors. Been going for years. I recently moved out of the area and I'm still going there. read more

Dr Guido is a very kind and knowledgeable optometrist. He inspired my trust from my first visit with him and I have been seeing him for about 25 years. The other Optometrist and the office staff have always been friendly and professional. read more

Fabulous experience. Dr. Alva was wonderful with our girls (6 & 2.5). Highly recommended.

If their service matches their phone personality then they suck! I felt like the receptionist didn't care about me even when I told her I was new to the area, very Not Customer-oriented. Didn't book the appointment read more

Dr. Guido is fabulous! He is very kind and thorough. I was having problems with my contacts - they were making my eyes red and irritated. I was barely able to keep my contacts in a full 8-hours before ripping them out! Dr. Guido patiently listened as I explained my problem, made several recommendations of OTC and prescription eye drops to reduce the irritation, recommended a 'less-drying' contact and sent me home with several samples. A note about the samples, he gave me enough samples to test out the products over several weeks - not like other shops (i.e. LensCrafters) who gives you a very limited supply that lasts a couple days. If I am purchasing a year-long supply of a product I want to make sure I love it. The office staff was very helpful. I decided to order a year-long supply of contact through them (it was less expensive than using 1800Contacts) and was pleasantly surprise at how easy it was. I am a huge fan and highly recommend Dr. Guido and his practice. Looking forward to visiting him again next year! read more

Very good at reminding you of the appointment. Skimpy on thoroughness of tests. No chart was given on peripheral view field. No dilation option was discussed. Condition of optical nerve had to be asked. Macular degeneration, catarat, was not discussed. It felt as an abbreviated test was only needed.My wife experienced the same. read more

My husband and his son were seen here about 3 years ago, and it was a nice visit. My husband and I returned 2 weeks ago, and again, very pleasant. Before we were seen, I called and had them check our insurance. The receptionist who helped us was VERY kind, patient, and returned my call promptly. My husband and I had "double date" appointments and they called him back within 5 minutes of arriving. I wasn't far behind him. Lots of up to date machines and the staff were patient and had a good manner about them. Dr Guido is soft spoken, but has a great wit to him, that breaks the ice and makes you feel comfortable! The glasses prices seemed fair, but we couldn't afford theirs, so we ended up purchasing glasses from Costco, and the prescriptions are perfect. We will be returning here again! read more

I went to this optometrist for my first time in say , ehh, 10 years. It was long over due for sure. I went in to see if I needed glasses because I was finding myself squinting a lot in school. My mom also goes here and highly recommended it. So I made the mistake of going during farmer's market, my fault def not there's, so I was a little late. But when I came in the door the lady behind the counter welcomed me with a big smile, was super friendly, and answered all my questions I had. Before I even had the paper work finished the doctor was ready for me, which was very nice. The nurse performed a few tests on some very advanced machines(as far as I know), and she was very professional, friendly, and gentle. When I finally got to see the optometrist he was super friendly and personable, but most importantly professional. He did a series of tests and screenings. He determined exactly what was wrong with my eyes and prescribed me a prescription for some glasses that I am wearing as I write this. This optometry center has no idea how much easier they have made my life! This is a top notch office! I highly recommend their services! read more

Above and beyond service! Everyone in this office is so helpful, professional and nice!

This office is amazing! I had an object in my eye and they got me in right away. (New patient) - Dr. Alva examined my eye and was very gentle in removing the object. Highly recommend this office. read more

Visited La Verne Optometry for the first time. Was very pleased with how I was treated from the moment I entered. Was examined by the new owner Dr Alva. He was exceptional, talked to me and explained what he was doing better then any eye doctor I've ever been too. I will send my wife and family to him. read more

I am beyond grateful to Dr. Alva and the staff for being available during this time. I highly recommend when looking for your next eye exam, call La Verne Optometry for an appointment. read more
