This may be the nicest frame shop I've ever been to What I appreciate most is their honesty.

I've been going to The Optician since 2018 and my god it has changed my life and how I've viewed glassesware! I didnt even realize that glasses needed to be adjusted to your own face and the amount of comfort it gives you over the entire day, amazing! I never feel fatigued after adjustments done to my frames with them. Simply amazing. I have about 10 pairs of glasses with them now and have brought most people I know who wear glasses into the store for a new pair or two or three of glasses and the level of care and attention to detail to everyone I bring and myself is so above and beyond with what I've gotten in the past before I found The Optician. They not only help guide what looks good on you but also listen to the comfort/needs of the client in such a nuanced way that really lets the person pick what they feel the best in! Not to mention the unbridled enthusiasm when someone finds a pair that they're so in love with is just... chef's kiss moment! Honestly can't wait to start shopping for a new pair every year :)

I was greeted warmly by the front desk receptionist, and after I told her what I needed, she seated me right away to wait for the optician. She was friendly and very helpful, even though I didn't have an appointment. The optician came right Pitt after I waited a minute, and after looking at my glasses, told me she can fix it! Took her about 5 minutes to do a beautiful job of replacing the nose piece. Had me try my glasses on to make sure it sat well. She was also very friendly, and told me she waived the fee. I was blown away by the customer service and the kindness of the staff. I highly recommend this business, an would come here to get my next eye exam!

I recently visited an ophthalmologist with the hope that he'd help me resolve the issue. Long story short, he did not. Not even close. I explained my symptoms to Dr. Wong during my annual eye exam. She examined both of my eyes closely based on my comments and diagnosed the issue pretty quickly. I am so thankful that she gave my poor painful eye the attention it needed. I also really appreciated all the covid-19 precautions everyone in the office took.

The eyewear selection is really great and their preferred lenses are top of the line. The selection is far better than the shop at the mall or the big box retailers. Lots of styles to choose from and the staff are great at helping to find just the right pair. This year I purchased a new pair of eyeglasses and sunglasses. The eyeglasses that I decided on were suggested by the owner of the shop and are a pair that I might have missed if not for her suggestion. When I picked my new glasses and sunglasses up, I also purchased a second pair of sunglasses and turned my previous eyeglasses into computer/readers. The attention to detail here is fantastic. Glasses are carefully checked when completed and if they are not happy with anything, they will have them fixed. I won't consider any other shop for my eyewear needs. Thanks to Anna and her staff for always taking great care of us.

This review is more of an expression of gratitude for the exceptional care that Dr. Fleming and her…read morestaff have provided me since meeting them less than a year ago. To refer to Dr. Fleming, Jentry, and Julie as just my "optometrist's office" would be an understatement; they are amazing human beings, and Dr. Fleming is one of the best doctors I have ever encountered. When I was referred to Dr. Fleming during an eye emergency, she took me in the same day and performed a thorough exam to determine the issue. Thanks to her prescribed treatment, I felt relief almost instantly. I truly appreciate how she communicated with me throughout my recovery to ensure I was healing properly. Because she is so detailed and invested in her patients' well-being, she was able to discover other contributing factors to my eye health. She immediately became my primary optometrist, and I have since brought my family to her practice as well. I also want to highlight her staff, Jentry and Julie. They are incredibly kind, and their organization and communication skills are outstanding. The ability to reach the office via text or phone with immediate responses is the best! Furthermore, the online portal is user-friendly and makes completing forms seamless. I always feel welcomed in the office. Oh!! And the selection of eyewear is exquisite. So many niche brands that you just want to buy them all! And, because of her expertise in skin care and services provided in-office? Not only are my eyes better, but so is my skin!! Thank you again for everything you do!!

Several years ago I located his practice after retirement, when I no longer had VSP coverage, and my vision care provider at the time, a major UC affiliated clinical practice, which was current with Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) refused senior medicare insurance. Dr. Ensor is among a very small number in the bay area, who is well versed and equipped in monitoring and in available treatment options for AMD, being on call 24/7 for emergencies in vision changes, and his office accepts medicare and other related senior insurance plans. But, more importantly he and his entire staff are sincere, empathic, and provide the highest level of patient-based care. My wife is now one of his new patients. We both appreciate how Dr. Ensor, his associates, & office staff are so pleasant, respectful & understanding of all of the challenges that patients deal with & present!

He is so kind and makes sure you are comfortable and doesn't make you feel like you're giving a "wrong answer" during the eye exam. He also doesn't have the "poof" machine where the air blows in your eye!!!! He uses an updated test that is even more accurate than that torture test haha!!! He also doesn't have to dilate your eyes because he has a new and updated way to do the same thing without dilating your eyes! So you can go about your day after your exam without wearing those sexy thick blacked out glasses or the slide in screen things lol. The staff is great too and really helped me find a super cute pair of RayBans! Thank you Dr. Ensor for always taking care of us! You are definitely the BEST!
