Tacoma Family Eyecare is located in the optical section of the Tacoma Costco (37th Street). They…read morehave appointment booking capability from their website, however, I was already at Costco when I decided to pop in to make a new patient appointment. They were able to get me in within the same week! The receptionist was helpful and friendly, with the ability to answer my questions regarding insurance and what the eye exam entailed. I opted for an appointment that would give me both my glasses and contact prescription. The day of my appointment, I filled out a quick questionnaire to establish my care as a patient, and one of their techs performed the initial eye exam ($40 out of pocket, covered by certain insurances, but a very important eye exam as it checks your eye health). Dr. Kathy Kim was the optometrist I saw the day of my appointment. She began with asking if I had my glasses with me ('dOh, I forgot to bring them!) but I was able to tell her the power of each eye from a prescription from 1.5 years ago before I moved to Tacoma. Th usual eye exam commenced, with having to read the letters with one eye, and then the other. Dr. Kim mentioned the slight astigmatism that I've heard I've had for a while, but hadn't been corrected by other optometrists/ophthalmologists. She gave me the option to do the regular contacts I was accustomed to, but also suggested trying toric contact lenses to adjust for the astigmatism. Dr. Kim explained that these type of lenses would reduce squinting, and help with driving at night, reducing glare. Her receptionist was able to give me trials for both the regular contacts with my updated prescription (same day), and ordered trial torics which came in several days later. What I loved about Dr. Kim was her demeanor. She was professional, and able to build a great rapport during the quick 15 minute exam! She allowed me to look at the eye health screen (your vision is priceless, it's worth the $40!) and let me know that they have a 90 day follow up policy to have the lenses adjusted, should I not love the trials before ordering my contact supply. 5/5 highly recommend! (P.S. I don't believe you need a Costco membership to utilize this clinic in Costco).

My…read moreexperience was excellent , I had the best prescription for my glasses that I've ever had-- blended trifocals with astigmatism correction. They had a large selection of frames and I picked a super light weight minimalist design, which after a fitting adjustment a week after I initially picked them up, fit perfectly. The cost for the exam and frames was a bit under what I had paid for an exam and similar glasses 15 years ago in Seattle. So, considering the inflation we've endured during the those years, these were a complete bargain. I heartily recommend Soundview without reservation.

Both my husband and I had back to back appointments.The dr was extremely short staffed. They had 2 employees missing that day, one had just quit(I think I now know why and the other sounded like they were on an extended vacation?) we waited over 2 hours to be seen. We were essentially seen together,husband did go back first,had his exam then they called me back for mine while my husband sat in during my exam. The dr essentially ignored any small talk I had towards him and would only really respond to my husband, I picked up on some misogyny, however considering the drs age it's par for the course. I was just there for my eyes after all, not to gain a new friend,so I chalk it up him having absolutely terrible personal skills. After our exam is complete he tells us to go pick out glasses. They really give you zero options of going outside their office for frames and they have a terribly small selection of frames. Then we were brought back to the bookkeepers office...wooo boy back to the 80's again. She even used an adding machine! What in 1985 is happening!?? Stacks of file boxes..they need to update badly. The price for the mediocre frames/lenses for both of us was almost TRIPLE the price than the previous year buying both sunglasses AND bifocal glasses elsewhere!!TRIPLE!!!!! After investing close to 3 hours of being at the appointment,we just paid what we could and ordered the glasses. We just wanted to get on with our day! Now comes to picking them up..they don't really keep with the hours posted, they leave early and whatnot so my husband and I got there @3:30 on a Friday, as we had called ahead.The door was locked,but the elderly bookkeeper opened it and led us to the room where they fit glasses. She hands me mine and the card to test how well you can see fine print, I can clearly see the fine print, she never once asks me how the far vision is, and I cannot test this because the room is so small. It took some adjustment to get them not to sit crooked on my face. She kept setting them upside down on the counter saying "see see they are even on the counter laying flat!" Last I checked people are not symmetrical and glasses are fit to your face not how flat they sit on a counter. I've never in all the years having glasses have such a weird fitting. Thankfully my husbands fit with only a little adjustment, even then she didn't seem to know wtf she was doing. Clearly this was NOT what she reg does in this office. Later in the evening when I try to watch tv, I realize I cannot see any of the letters or subtitles that I could see with my old glasses! The script is terribly wrong! I can see infinitely better with my old glasses and everything is blurry with the new glasses. I call the following Monday and they say they had a cancellation @1. When I get there the dr is huffy. He said to me "well I don't have time to give you an exam today!! But I can check the glasses to see if there was an error" yet they told me they had a cancellation...wouldn't that be a whole appointment worth of time??? He then comes back in and I can tell he's agitated and he starts being really short with me. He starts asking me about my diabetes and says it's my diabetes that's making my new glasses wrong.. and when I keep asking why my old glasses were still pretty great, that I could read far away and see subtitles with the old glasses but not the new ones,he is dismissive and starts grilling me about my diabetes control again,then he starts mentioning the slight cataract he diagnosed me with and then says he needs me to test and log my fasting blood for 2 weeks until my next appointment ,because it's my fault my new glasses don't work.. I still keep asking about why my old pair work fine and he just wouldn't have it. He just kept gaslighting me, telling me it's my diabetic issue. I am closely monitored by my primary dr and I tried telling him this but he was continuously dismissive.He made a mistake with my vision test and he's too proud or whatever to admit he's wrong. My new glasses are definitely NOT correct! If I can see better with my old glasses IT IS NOT MY HEALTH THATS A PROBLEM ITS THE INCORRECT GLASSES HE PRESCRIBED! Dr Ken Corliss needs to start paying for competent staff,update his office to bring it into the current decade AND not be greedy for money by continuing to over book himself so he doesn't make mistakes like he did with my glasses. We will NOT be returning, as well as 3 other family members. They have permanently lost our our families business! Don't go to this office it's a waste of your time, money and is a giant headache! Highly DO NOT RECOMMEND!AVOID!
