Great local female owned with reasonably priced options and great doctor and glasses expert care

Abraham was fantastic and so helpful and patient. Highly recommend this place and provider. Fun selection of frames.

So knowledgeable and courteous the entire staff. They will be my go to for all my eye check ups.

The best optometrist I've ever visited! Dr. K is so kind & clearly very good at what she does! The exam was thorough and everything was explained to me! Everyone in the office was so welcoming and made my experience great! Abraham walked me through the different types of eyeglasses that would suit my face the best and went over my vision insurance and what would be covered. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a new optometrist! read more

Well, well we end up here again with a raving review of Point Loma Electric and Plumbing. We decided to to replace the sink, kitchen garbage disposal and all angle stop on all of our sink's & toilets. The outstanding customer service just keeps going on and on! James Patridge went above and beyond to get us a price quote to fit our finances that we're comfortable with. The appointment went on with out a hitch thanks to Joel Figueroa and Angel. They got the job completed . They deserve recognition for working at such an incredible company that not only make customers happy but your employees love what they do and it shows with every service call we have made throughout the years of owning our home. They treat us like family and that is why we are customers for life !!! read more

5 Stars! I recently made the decision to change from glasses to contacts and since I'm within walking distance of this practice, I made my appointment and am so glad I did! My eye exam was thorough, and Dr K was kind and listened to my concerns. She prescribed me with contacts and really cared about making sure we got it right. It took three different combinations before we found something that worked. She was patient and kept trying until we got it. Abraham was also a gem. He helped me learn how to insert/remove my new contacts. Embarrassingly enough, it took me two trips to the office in order to figure it out but with his gentle coaching and encouragement, I did it! I've ordered my contacts from them and receive a text upon arrival so I can just walk over. I'm really happy with the service I've received. I will be back in to order a backup pair of glasses and will continue to be a client in the future! read more

Absolutely love this place! The staff and Dr. are wonderfully kind and truly care about their patients. My whole family goes here and we cannot say enough great things about this place. Nice selection of frames, too. Abraham has the most incredible customer service, by the way! read more

Wow! I stopped in to see if I could get a quick repair and it was amazing! They were also advising another customer and were able to juggle my repair while advising and taking care of the other customers. Kind and fast. Highly recommend. read more

Dr. Kolodzey is extremely knowledgeable and kind. Her staff is very nice too! I'd definitely recommend Point Loma Optometry!

Abe and the staff here were amazing to work with. I'm very detail oriented and they were super patient with me and thoughtful throughout the process. They got me squared away with multifocal contacts and glasses that I love! read more

I'm thrilled with my eye exam experience and the selection of glasses offered here. My husband David had gotten his glasses from here a year ago & highly recommended that I get an eye exam & glasses from them too. Dr. Kolodzey is wonderful! She listened to my concerns & spent quality time giving me a thorough exam. Abraham is the best. They both provide the best personalized service we could have hoped for. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed. Denise & David read more

Great find! Everyone was very helpful and the doctor answered all of my questions. The office is very clear and they follow all the Covid-19 guidelines. read more

Top - and I mean top of the top - customer service. They worked with me every step of the way. They take so much time to answer every little questions. Dr. Kolodzey is thorough and patient and very pleasant, and Abraham has meticulous attention to detail. They sorted out my insurance, FSA, piece of cake. read more

Abraham consistently goes above and beyond to ensure the customer has what they need. I have had nothing but positive experiences with the doctor and have always had honest and helpful conversations about any concerns. read more

Jennifer N is smoking crack! I have never had such a thorough exam and I have been wearing glasses for over 40 years. Everyone was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They are definitely a treasure especially when independent offices are no longer the norm. Do not hesitate to book an appointment.

I've been coming here for over a couple years now as this was my first experience with an eye doctor. I just picked up my most recent prescription glasses and I love everything about them, especially the perfect way these glasses fit my face and eyes. With all the options we have now, I highly suggest coming here so you can experience their first class customer service and get your glasses fit to your specific face. Abe takes exceptional care of you and fits you perfectly! Dr. K is awesome and talks you through everything. Alex is so professional and polite, seriously this is the dream team of Optometry. Support local business and stop by and see them next time you need an eye doc. read more

Years later and still really appreciative of the expertise and especially the amazing customer service from everyone in this office.

Great experience here today for both my husband and I. From the start with Abraham to the time spent with Dr. Elizabeth we recommend this practice as your family eye doctor. Great equipment, nice eye machines to measure and scan for potential issues. Very knowledgeable session- will be back when needed and also for annual general health visits. They accept VSP insurance too. read more

I've been meaning to write this review for a few months now. I don't post many reviews to Yelp. I'd assume - like most others, you usually post if you either had very good service, or very bad service. For me, the service I've received at Point Loma Optometry has been some of the best customer service I've ever received. I would like to share (2) experiences that I've had with this office that have exceeded my expectations. Right before COVID hit, my glasses broke. I wasn't due for a new pair yet (insurance) but wasn't sure what the new pandemic would mean for getting repairs or replacing the frames. I went into the office and Abraham asked me if I needed brand new frames, or if I would be okay with an older model that worked with my lenses. I told him I would appreciate anything. He found an old pair of frames that wasn't being used. He swapped out my lenses and did not charge me anything. I was so shocked - I left the same day with glasses that actually stayed on my face, and he didn't charge me - I was so happy and relieved. The second experience was regarding Dr. K herself. I had a reoccurring red eye issue (which turned out to be an allergic reaction after some intense research). When it first happened I had just gotten a new job and was incredibly embarrassed of having a red eye at work. Dr. K worked me into her schedule the same day, looked at my eye, and prescribed me medicine that reduced the redness basically the same day. She then tracked the issue very closely until we had come to the conclusion that it wasn't a medical emergency. Her professionalism and bedside manner was the best I've received, and that includes medical doctors, dentists, eye doctors, etc. I would recommend this office to anyone and everyone. Dr. K cares about her patients, and is willing to put in extra work that some other doctors might not. All of the staff in the front of the office is amazing. Extremely nice people. My husband and I will be moving so I'll have to switch eye doctors, but I will miss everyone at Point Loma Optometry immensely. Thank you again for everything, Dr. K and Abraham. :) -Rachel read more

Abe provided excellent customer service to repair our broken optical frames. He was very patient and answered all our questions in a very professional manner. read more

The optometrist here was extremely friendly and pleasant. I felt like I was being really well taken care of. They also accepted my insurance and sent a lot of time helping me calculate my benefits and price different options to help save me money. Overall, I was really happy with the service and would recommend it to my friends. read more

RUDE! Under no circumstances do I suggest going here. I had been a patient of this location for many years, and had very much liked the doctor and their staff. Every time I went in there they were so friendly and helpful, but recently much as changed. The front office staff is different and extremely rude and unpleasant. They were unwilling to assist me with some medical records and were very nasty to deal with. I don't blame the doctor herself-she is great. However, having to deal with her nasty front office staff is a nightmare. Unless they change over receptionists, I would not recommend going here. read more

I'm a first time patient of PL Optometry and Dr. Kolodzey. I've been wearing glasses for 28 years, and contacts for 15+. She's one of the best eye docs that I've seen. In addition to being kind, professional and thorough, she has poor vision too - and can relate. She also knows her business.....We nerded out about eyeglass technology (and how it's advanced in the last 5 years) for 15 minutes :) I agree with Klaudia U (other Yelper) about their helpfulness with pricing options and helping to save money. Really great! Eye care is not cheap, but I only have one set of unreplaceable eyeballs, and I want the best care possible for them. I'm confident that Point Loma Optometry is the right place. I'll be going back! read more

I can't say enough good things about Point Loma Optometry!!! Dr. Kolodzey is very professional and knowledgeable. She answered all my questions and put me at ease with the idea of wearing contacts. Lashell and Abraham were just as amazing. I was able to get in and out in a timely manner and they both helped me choose the right stylish frames to fit my face and personality. I have referred several of my friends and clients to Point Loma Optometry and everyone has been extremely satisfied. Thank you for taking care of my eyes!!!! read more

I don't recommend this place for anything more than buying glasses or contacts. I flew in to San Diego for work and was experiencing vision issues in my right eye. I have vision insurance that covers regular exams so after some tests were performed and some pictures of my eye were taken, Dr. Kolodzey would not disclose the results. She verified that she could diagnose the issue based on pictures taken of my eye, but requested my medical insurance card indicating that any further discussions required billing to my medical insurance. When I asked if Pt. Loma Optometry was in-network for my medical insurance Dr. Kolodzey responded with "No, but your here anyway so that shouldn't matter to you." If a vision test is performed under vision insurance, the results of that test should be available as well. Dr. Kolodzey withheld the information despite several requests from me to find out what was wrong with my eye...so I left. I spent that night awake and terrified about what could be wrong with my eye until scheduling an appointment with an ophthalmologist the next morning. If you need your glasses adjusted, this place will probably do. If you need an eye exam or suspect a more pressing issue, avoid this place and go see an ophthalmologist. read more

Everything was great until my eyewear finally came in, and my prescription was a little funky. "Just try it for a week, maybe your eyes will adjust," she said. So I did, and they didn't. Unfortunately, my apprehension was not documented in my file; when I came back for the adjustment, I was told how I had instead raved on and on about how amazing the eyewear was, and that was what was written down. And what was written down was only just short of the Bible, and to think different would be just short of blasphemy. It wasn't such a big deal that the documentation or prescription or whatever didn't match my "opinion" (yes, according to her), but as it turns out, I don't fancy myself keen on being called a liar. Beyond that, she got really defensive, and really just tried to break me down into believing that I was wrong about what I was actively seeing out of my own eyes. Even given the fact that I was an insane and horribly difficult patient and probably even had rabies, from a customer service standpoint, isn't the customer always right? I will plead my case in saying I really had no hidden agenda in wanting a different prescription, and I wasn't trying to step on anyone's toes or hurt feelings... honestly, I just wanted to be able to see without squinting. Consequently, it comes down to a matter of "opinion" (Heh. See what I did there?): I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

I seriously love this place! I always have so many questions and Dr. Kolodzey has no problem taking the time to answer all of them. She is always up for working with me since I prefer a lower prescription. Ive found they always has my best interest in mind. Her and all of the team are very honest which I really like since I've definitely had a bad experience some dishonest optometrists. Also, what really stands out about this place is they are always up to date with whatever is new when it comes to glasses and contacts. read more

Once again, my wife's friend Karen visited Dr. K and Abraham and asked me to update the "rave review" with another 5-star "rave review." Karen has worn glasses, by the way, since she was 12 years old and says Dr. K is the best optometrist she's ever seen. Karen started wearing progressive lenses a few years ago, and Dr. K very patiently explained all the options available to her: Reading glasses only, featherweight carbonate progressive lenses vs. bifocals, et cetera. Abraham is incredibly knowledgeable about the nuances of insurance, and will answer questions you might have. Karen told me I had to update her "rave review" b/c this optometrist deserves accolades. Dr. K's office is elegant like a boutique and located conveniently by Cold Stone Creamery and Trader Joe's on Womble in Liberty Station. Plenty of free parking and lovely shops nearby. read more

Today's date: 2-8-18. An Outstanding place to be examine and fitted for eyewear. I have been seeing Dr. Kolodzey for few years now and been very satisfied with the service even my wife is seeing her too. Technician Abraham - the guy is just sharp in his work, a true professional. Receptionist (sorry didn't get her name) - very kind and courteous. Thank you, A. Q. S. P.S. Lots of parking and other stores to visit in the vicinity. read more

I can I start with this review. I met Dr. Kolodzey and Shell way before the moved to Point Loma Optometry. They started in Costco and moved to Point Loma Optometry. One day I took my daughter for an eye exam and found out they were no longer in the Costco, but at Point Loma Optometry. The new Costco doctor was nice, but the exam and the glasses I had purchased there was not the same as when Dr. Kolodzey was there. All the attention that was given to me and the care the Dr. Kolodzey and Shell was gone. I felt at the time that the service and frames option were not of good quality. The staff at Costco was just rushing me and didn't take the time to serve me right. After this experience my family and I noticed the difference from a good service the new Costco gave to a GREAT service that Dr. Kolodzey gave to my family and I. Dr. Kolodzey kept us in mind when moving/changing offices. She sent us a noticed with her new office information. Costco is close to where I live, It's worth the driving my family takes to visit Dr. Kolodzey, Shell, and Abraham because of the great services they give. Today I came in for an exam and noticed that they had a Yelp. I come here because of the service not because of reviews other customers have given. I don't judge the doctor or staff based on the number of stars it has. But of the great service they give and provide. read more

I've been going to Dr. Kolodzey for a few years now. She is such a great doctor and her staff is super friendly. I highly recommend them!

Sorry Amanda B. had a negative experience at Pt. Loma Optometry. I have been wearing glasses for about 40 years and have never had such good,thorough,and friendly service.The examine is a complete eye health check every time. I highly recommend Dr Kolodzey for her expertise and congeniality. Abraham and Rochelle always help me find the right frames and just recently they introduced me to Polarized prescription lenses.Wow. Bike riding is greatly enhanced. I highly recommend PLO and hope your experience is as good as mine has been. Sincerely and appreciatively, Michele read more

The best Doc and staff! I have been with Dr. K for years and I continue seeing her even though I have moved and it is quite inconvenient now. When I had my first exam I was shocked at how thorough she was and vowed to never go anywhere else again. Also the staff is super accommodating, knowledgeable and nice. Abraham was such a help with ordering my glasses, no hard sell tactics, just expertise, honesty, and kindness. The staff genuinely seem to love their job. LOVE this place. read more

You never know how good something comes along that makes everything else look like garbage.This place is so good it made me realized my previous optometrists suck. Why? They hooked it up, and when my glasses were broken (has happened 3 times now) they fixed them for free. They even bent a couple pairs of my sunglasses back into shape at no cost. I would never go anywhere else. Note: I had insurance, so not really sure how the pricing looks if you have to pay out of pocket;. read more

Beautiful office, friendly staff, great inventory of frames. Dr. Kolodzey was very helpful and took the time to answer all of my questions.

The staff was super helpful and patient with me! I was there for a good half hour selecting lenses. Really nice group of people! Recommend you come here if you are in need of eye exam, glasses or contacts. The doctor was gentle and explained my astigmatism clearly. Clean facility! read more

I need a last minute appointment, they squeezed me in to make sure I could get seen. The staff was so friendly and helpful. I always have a hard time picking glasses and here it was a breeze. I've been getting eye exams for 15 years and this was the most relaxing, professional and easy exam. read more

Doctor Elizabeth is so amazing! I am super lucky to have her! She takes care of me like I am her Family! If you are in San Diego and you want the best, you have to go to her! read more

I went here because my wife goes here and I was glad that I did. The customer service and care were excellent. The doctor took her time to explain things to me and was very helpful. I will be going here from now on. Highly recommend this place. read more

I've been seeing Dr. K for 8 years. She is the best! Her staff is great, and she takes the time to explain everything very thoroughly. Love this place! read more
