I was in need of an eye exam and on the hunt for optometry offices in my area and came across Winky…read moreBee. I called their office to inquire and spoke with Janine who was very helpful. She got me an appointment the next day and sent me all of the new patient intake forms within 30 minutes of hanging up. Their online portal for completing the new patient intake forms is very easy to use and follow. On the day of my appointment, getting there was a breeze. Their office is located in a very convenient shopping plaza and parking is plentiful. Once I walked into their office, I was greeted by their friendly staff. Check in was quick and the time I spent waiting was a few minutes. Their tech (I think her name was Theresa, sorry if I am wrong) was very friendly. My exam was no more than 7 minutes and the process and transition between the different machines was very efficient and smooth. I was seen by Dr. Dino and she was extremely pleasant. She spent a good amount of time with me to learn about my health and finish off my visit with her explaining the results of my exam. I was out of their office within 30 minutes and on my merry way with prescriptions in hand. I will definitely be seeing them for all of my optometrist needs and bringing my family as well to their practice. They run a very efficient and kind operation and I appreciate their kindness and care. Definitely recommend.

I love Dr MJ and they do explain everything they do before they do it AND if it is an extra charge and not covered by my insurance, they always asked me whether I wanted to incur the charge etc, I highly recommend Winking Bee Optometry to anyone in need of quality eye care. They truly care about their patients and go above and beyond to ensure satisfaction.

He steered me away from a frame that another shop had recommended. In hindsight, that frame would have looked terrible on me, and I'm glad he said so. He also pointed me to the right lens density for my prescription, which made a big difference in what was actually practical to wear. On top of that, the shop carries styles you do not see at most other optical stores. If you want something unique and you want someone honest to help you pick it, this is the place.

Dr. Lee has an amazing attitude and ethics towards her work, first of all, she's very clean, she cleaned each piece of equipment before use, and has an amazing attention to detail, I could tell she tailored the exam to the specifics of my eye (my astigmatism) but she really went above and beyond for me by explaining what each exam was for, the results, and how I could think about it. I really got to learn my own eye from a whole new perspective. She was also not pushy with any of the other services (like the extra exam screening, or glasses, or really anything else). Highly recommend Dr. Lee's! She's amazingly helpful and friendly to chat with.

EDIT: update from 2 to 5 stars -- Alicia called me back and really helped me with my questions…read morestep-by-step. I was very impressed with the follow-up, patience, and helpfulness. Turns out they did have some samples in my prescription in stock! I'm glad they helped me out this time. S/o to the girls at the front desk! Generally I've had a solid experience when working with folks here (my file was transferred over from another office in the past) but just had an awkward phone call with one of the staff. I asked a few questions I was concerned about and got some answers, asked if they had my prescription in stock (which they didn't, which is fine), but after that it was followed up with awkward silences after asking if there are any options I could explore, to the point that I wasn't sure if they were still on the phone. I heard typing in the background so I wasn't sure if they were looking into it for me, but looking back I think he had mentally moved on from the conversation. I asked to see if someone else could help me -- but was met with "everyone else is busy". He asked for my info, and I asked "will I get a callback regardless or only if there's a solution", and the way he answered seemed like I probably wouldn't get a callback. Like some empathy or "we can't help you, but you can explore these options (samples, boxes or brands they do have in stock, etc)" to provide direction . Idk if Benjamin was just having a bad day, but I felt like a burden and an annoyance for asking questions and didn't really have the empathy nor the time to want to help me problem solve.

I found in both (separate days) instances , they had done a optic scan vs a pupil dilation (covered by insurance). One signed a consent, one did not. Both were not aware there was an extra charge. The 2nd time around, I decided to point it out, and they had no problem with not charging, but it is the principle and I want to be able to trust my doctor best interest in me (financially as well) vs making a quick dime on these sneaky charges. With the first visit/kid, I let it go). 2nd visit, I had to speak up... probably going to be looking for a new optometry place...
