The professionalism and care by Dr. Bhakta, and her staf help me get care which was much needed along with identifying the challenges I was experiencing.

If you're looking for an optometrist who truly prioritizes patient care, Dr. Bhakta is an excellent choice! Thank you Dr. Bhakta and Stratford Eye Care team.

The…read moredoctor herself is great, good personality, good with my kids, it's always been a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, I did leave today's visit with a gut feeling that the doctor unfortunately manipulates how she's going to bill their services to benefit them, not us the customers. My husband and I each have a great VSP plans through our employer and for two exams it should have been covered especially with double coverage, however I left paying $120 out-of-pocket on what should have been zero. I left very disappointed. I am in the HR field and I have an understanding of how Primary and secondary insurances work, but there really was no arguing with the doctor. Definitely disappointed, and because of this experience, we will no longer be going to see her.

From the moment I arrived, the front desk staff checked me in quickly and confirmed all my information. I only waited about five minutes before being called in for the eye tests. Today, Marisela, the optician who helped me, was absolutely wonderful -- super friendly, patient, and made sure I understood every step. She walked me through all the options and explained the costs clearly, which I really appreciate. Dr. Flores has always been so knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything about my prescription and eye health in detail. You can tell she truly cares about her patients. The office is very clean, organized, and easy to find with a convenient parking lot, which makes the whole experience even smoother. Highly recommend Dr. Flores and her team -- they've consistently provided amazing care and customer service year after year!

They had great reviews and are close to home. I just picked up my first pair of perfect glasses from them! They have equipment my last optometrist did not have.

I actually was able to "walk in" and be seen right after 9 this morning. I highly recommend this office for your eye care needs. Oh, they've got a nice selection of brand names...good stuff!

She really knows all the details when it comes to insurance benefits and took the time to clearly explain everything to us. She was also able to fix my eyeglasses perfectly on the first try, which I truly appreciated. It's also a huge plus that the office is close to my home. I'm so thankful for their help and the excellent care they provide to keep our vision clear. I highly recommend them!

I have since emailed the office advising them this is not sufficient for patients making an appointment over the phone when they have not been in the office for close to a year, where again when their office called and left a voicemail and I called back to confirm the appointment, they still did not advise of any cancellation fees. This is against CA law and bad practice to impose a cancellation policy based solely on a sign in their office, especially for patients that are scheduled on the phone and confirm on the phone. I have since found a new optometrist and guess what? They text their appointment confirmation so the patient can confirm and guess what's also included in that patient confirmation text? Their cancellation policy!

Dr. Haw is great. Unfortunately, I have so much trouble with the administrative staff who seem…read moredisorganized, don't listen, and get my information wrong. Dr. haw has prescribed me eye drops for the past 2 years for my dry eyes. My insurance changed this year. My pharmacist says the eye drops are no longer covered and that the optometrist needs to reach out to my insurance to get prior authorization. 2 weeks ago, I called the office telling them this information. 1 week passes. Nothing happens. I call them and they say they'll talk to Dr. Haw when he gets back in the office the following week, meaning nobody did anything the previous week he was there! The next week, they incorrectly send a prescription renewal to my pharmacy but did not talk to my insurance about getting prior authorization. My pharmacy calls me telling me the same thing from before: they need a prior authorization for the renewal to be processed, not the renewal itself. The next day, I get a phone call saying that Dr. Haw cannot renew the prescription since I haven't been seen in a year and that I need to make an appt to be seen. If that's the case, then why did you already send the renewal anyways?! And why didn't you tell me 2 weeks ago when I first asked you for the prior authorization? I need you to call my insurance to get prior authorization so the renewal goes through or write a different prescription that my insurance approves. I have to call back again telling them the same thing. It's like they don't listen or understand the difference between renewal and getting prior authorization so the renewal goes through. Even more infuriating is they recently called me asking what pharmacy to send the prescription too when I've been using the same pharmacy for 2 years and renewing the med every 3 months. How do you not have it on file?! Another time I told them to leave a message on my phone b/c I can't call during business hours since I'm working. They called me 5x asking me to call them back. When I called them back, there was nothing I needed to tell them over the phone that they couldn't have just left a message on my phone like I had told them repeatedly. There was no private info they needed from me. They could've just given me the simple update as a voicemail. it's so frustrating talking to the administrative staff. You need a lot of patience to deal with the administrative staff. I have stayed b/c I find Dr. Haw to have given me effective solutions for my eye problems over many years. Ugh. I'm starting to lose patience and am contemplating finding someone else that has better administrative staff.

They are Oakleys and they are a much thinner frame but I like them. One other thing, my husband was not able to be with me do to being home bound in his bed but Gina took the time to allow my husband to chat with her on FaceTime on my phone about his insurance. I appreciate how she went above and beyond to make this accommodation. Next year I'll find more awesome Oakley's with my insurance but until then thank you Eye Spy and Gina for being awesome as usual.

Had to call multiple times to follow up when the contacts have arrived. Each time a new person takes the call and it takes a long time for them to understand for what we were calling. More over, they are very rude on the phone to my daughter and myself. Gina was very rude, unprofessional, and used filthy language to my daughter. She doesn't have basic customer service skills and gets argumentative with the customer. I would fire her on the spot if I were her manager. The optometrists do not care about what is happening at the front desk; so the customers suffer and possibly do not return because there is nothing to come back for. I would never go there nor recommend anyone to go to this place. There are dozen a dime optometrists. Please check for the right ones.

After the exam, I brought the prescription to the Costco Optical located just outside the office, where the friendly staff assisted me in choosing and buying multiple pairs. Both were designer brands and came to about $300. You can't beat the prices at Costco. I highly recommend Dr. Kwon and the Hayward Optical office
