I was able to get an appointment same day rather than going to urgent care. Everyone was very caring and very much aware of my need. The care was excellent read more

Wonderful customer service! Had an issue that required their expertise and they went above and beyond to help me. Huge thanks to their team and they've earned a lifetime customer. read more

Incorrect Prescriptions and Poor Follow-Through I had a very poor experience with this office. I purchased two pairs of glasses that ended up being incorrectly made--wrong working distances, wrong bifocal placement, and unusable from day one. I later saw an independent optometrist who confirmed the prescriptions and measurements from this office were not accurate. Despite clear documentation and multiple attempts to resolve the issue, I was only given a partial refund. There was no real follow-up, no accountability, and no meaningful effort to fix the remaining problems. Instead, I continued receiving automated "your glasses are ready" texts long after the issues were known. For the cost involved, basic accuracy and professionalism should not be optional. I recommend verifying all prescriptions and measurements carefully and being prepared to seek a second opinion. read more

I usually hate going to get new glasses but at Stanislaus vision associates it went by so fast and I had a good time. They took me back within 2 minutes of getting there. The staff were incredibly helpful and nice, the doctor was also friendly. I highly recommend getting your glasses here. read more

Our whole family goes here. This was my second visit and I highly recommend them. The staff is extremely helpful and kind. You receive a friendly greeting as you enter and it only gets better from there. They are attentive and really listen to their patients. My eye doctor, tech, and the woman who helped me with my glasses, were all extremely knowledgeable about what they were doing. Getting glasses was a great experience. She listened to what I was looking for and brought me several fabulous choices. She was patient as I figured out which pair I wanted, even as I took photos and sent them to my daughters for help. I am so glad I found this place. read more

I have been going to stanislaus vision for some time now. Dr Meidema is my optometrist. He's a great doctor. He demonstrates genuine care and compassion. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The place is clean and cozy and you don't have to wait long before being called in for your appointment . I highly recommend Dr Meidema to anyone in need of exceptional optometric care. read more

Very kind staff!! Yes, they help pick out your frames but allow you to try on and decide of course they have a wide selection and do help narrow down choices which make it easy for you to decide they did make my appointment go smoothly and swiftly honestly such a great experience at the eye doctors and Doc Miedema is really cool read more

This place won't allow you to pick your own glasses. The office staff is knowledgeable, however the staff that tried to help the Dr and clients especially the manager are absolutely terrible. I won't go back. I suggest you go elsewhere for your vision needs. I don't like giving bad reviews, my last two visits made my decision clear . Look onward for my vision needs.. read more

Best eye care in town! Dr. Midama is very caring and accommodating. The staff is very friendly and professional. I wouldn't go to anyone else for my eye! read more

Family friendly. Easy to get an appointment. Great selection of glasses and good prices. The doctor is warm and welcoming. Staff is helpful and know how to help you quickly pick out glasses that best fit your face. We just recently came in with our 3 kids and we're in and out in less than an hour - appointments and glasses done read more

Super friendly staff. Dr.Whatcott was also super nice and helpful in explaining everything.

This place is not in customer service know that they have good selection. The doctor seems like a nice guy but he likes to talk about his kids all day long your appointment will take way longer than it needs to be. The front step is hidden mess some people are extremely confrontational and aggressive. You will not have a good experience or have an easy experience communicating with them here. Some of them seem like they may be burnt out and should probably get another career. You will end up saving yourself time and money going somewhere else. read more

Pam is heaven-sent. She explained thoroughly the coverage I would get for lenses and frames, and she picked out the frames for me since I have the most plain taste in the world, I came out with a pair that suites me well and I couldn't have had better service through and through. Please let Pam and everyone there know that they have done an excellent job! read more

My husband and I went to Stanislaus vision associates a few months ago in October 2020 and needless to say I won't be returning or referring. All the stuff we dealt with was unpleasant. Seemed like we were bothering them because they had to help us. We weren't allowed to look at glasses, they would bring you what they thought. I didn't like that one bit. And when they didn't want to bring more choices they would tell you that's all we have. I don't even wear my near glasses because I felt rushed to get them and dislike them. Also instead of sitting my husband and I together to pick out glasses together and give each other our opinions; they sat us at different tables were we had to talk across the room. And they can't blame it on covid because other customers they were really friendly with and they were at the same table together. Customer service definitely didn't seem like a priority. read more

I have been coming to this place for my contacts and glasses for years! I've been wearing glasses for about 20 years now.(ugh!) I think I may be ready for Lasik but I am still bound to the glasses and contacts for now. I give this place 5 stars because their service is really great. I have never waited a long time for my appointments, my prescription has been correct and I feel they have been honest and realistic with me. The best part is they don't do a puff/blow test here to measure the pressure of your eye! YAY!. If you have ever had it somewhere else- you know what I am talking about! Recently, I brought my 4 year old daughter here to get her first eye exam. They treated her very well and made her feel comfortable and confident. We found a pair of glasses for her and we told them about needing a cute economic pair. We walked out with her glasses and paid about $140 for her exam, frames and glasses, I was a happy mom and my daughter was sooooo excited about her new glasses. I use daily disposable contacts and I finally found what I needed here. It is tempting to go to those "cheaper places" for contacts and lenses but the care and service I get here is worth it, and I have never had any problems. Thanks for reading my review, time to take my glasses off! Ciao for now! read more

Friendly, informative staff and beautiful office. Every couple of years when it's time for new glasses I've been coming here. Their eyeglass selection is awesome! It was difficult to pick one pair but their staff helped. I actually selected the first pair they brought to me. My bff recommended this place years ago and now if anyone needs an eye exam I have been referring here. read more

I have been going here for 3 years and everyone from the receptionist to doctor is excellent. First rate service. Just for two new pair of glasses, regular and prescription sunglasses. The selection of frames was great. I ended up picking out two pairs of Ray Ban. Very easy with VSP insurance too. The glasses even cane in faster than they first told me. read more

I was very hesitant to go here for my wife's glasses, but Costco had closed its vision care temporarily and my wife was in need of glasses. Our good friend recommended this place to us, so we took his advice. He's not as good a friend as he used to be!! First off, we got there early to avoid the heat, but could not go inside until our appointment time. Thank God the A/C worked. Finally went in, nice greeting, and waited for a very short time and went in to have my wife's eyes checked. Professional Optometrist, the wall is littered with his accomplishments! After the eye exam we went in to get her glasses. Our sales rep was nice and efficient, but the selection was not what either of us expected. My wife did find some styles she liked, but as I walked over to the case to retrieve other glasses, another sales rep, tall--black glasses--black hair--and a nasty attitude, told me to go back to the table and she would bring the styles to me. I was not to touch them!! Excuse the ---- out of me! I was pissed, yes, but decided to bite my lip since my wife was not the receipient of "Bobby, go sit down or I'll spank you" routine from this witch. Long story short, we got the ones she wanted, pricey yes, not a Costco store by any means. But they are nice, and more important, my wife was happy with the selection. However, because of the skimpy selection, poor customer relations by this one person, and current selection process, I am NOT recommending this place to anyone until it changes. Sad, because though pricey, we did have a great sales rep, but too many negatives to give a 5 star. read more

I would just like to thank Dr. Nuncio for convincing me AND my husband to go with progressive lenses because we were both hesitant. It's so liberating to not have to keep taking off my glasses to read a menu, or write a review! His staff is very well trained and remember our names even though we see them once a year - and that speaks volumes. They have first class measuring tools, and a fantastic selection of eye ware. Mostly I just really love how personal and professional the entire operation is - and that is a reflection of Dr. Nuncio's culture that he creates. read more

Excellent customer service! I bought my glasses and kids glasses here and my kids broke their glasses but they're willing to fix it for free! I'm very happy with the service and name brand products they carry! The eye doctor is very professional and friendly as well, I definitely recommend Stanislaus Vision! read more

I've been coming here for years and never thought to write a review for them... they're great! I suggest you ask for Dr Medina* and use me as a referral! I think we both get a litte kick back. I think this place has 3 optometrist, one was awkward, older dude. He rushed me and it seemed like he got annoyed when I asked him to flip back to the other lenses while getting my eyes check. 1 or 2, 1 or 2 ... you only go once or maybe even twice a year right, you want someone to be patient and willing to work with you, Medina* is your man. Friendly staff, cute gals and the place is very clean. read more

Only interested in upsells and repetition appointments to update your prescription. Over priced poor selection.

I came in today and was told I had to wait outside and could not go inside with my s/o to pick out his new glasses even though I had a mask on. It's 93 degrees outside and they told me we wouldn't be served if I didn't stand outside. This business has 10 employees in the same room all within 6 feet of each other, but I was forced outside. The young white girl at the counter seemed happy to tell me to get out too, like she thoroughly enjoyed it. read more

It had been a long time since I have had my vision checked. My eyes were thoroughly examined. Everyone in the office was friendly. There was a variety of frames to chose from. Overall, my experience was good. I would recommend to anyone needing glasses or their vision checked. read more

Love coming to this office. Dr. Whatcott has seen members of my family for over a decade. We love the frame selection and Ines' expertise. She always knows what looks best. Great staff. read more

Doc is great! Talks to you like a friend. Answers all questions. Staff amazing at finding the glasses that fit your face.

The staff is very friendly and your contacts can be picked up the next day after ordering. Dr. Whatcott is very nice and efficient.

Dr. Miedema is the best!!! They are always professional and are always on time with appointments. You won't sit there for hours like you will at other optometrist offices. I have also had two eye emergencies over the past decade and they stayed open (well after hours) for me to get there and get treated. You will not find a better office staff and group of doctors! read more

My boyfriend got something in his eye and I called around all Modesto to find a place that could see him as a New patient at the end of the day, the day before Christmas. Not only were they able to see him but the cost was only 30$ to remove the foreign body from under his eye lid and they even placed a contact in his eye so he could still go to work with the awful corneal abrasion. I'd recommend this place above any other!! read more

I just got my first pair of glasses in my mid 20s. I was referred here by my mother, who dumped Pearle vision and Lenscrafters to come here. The service is outstanding! The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and down-to-earth. The selection is almost overwhelming. They are also quick to refer you to another doc if need be (when I suddenly lost vision in one eye, they got me to a great retina specialist within the hour. Try gettting your primary practitioner to do that.) A little pricey (maybe all eye docs are- I'm not sure b/c this is my first experience), but worth it. read more

I came here today on the strength of the yelp reviews! My experience was amazing! The place is very clean. I was greeted in a warm and friendly manner. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone living in modesto! read more

Everyone was very kind, caring and patient with my husband and I. The entire process was easy and pleasant. We will come back every year!! Thank you read more

Very friendly and accommodating. I currently wear contacts and hadn't purchased a pair in almost 2 years, messing up my eyes a bit. Dr Whatcott was very thorough and made extra sure I got the best fit on my contact lenses (I wear RGPs). read more

going to the eye doctor is one of those things you just hate to do - ive always felt that way - until now. dr miedema and his staff are excellent. friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy. it's always easy to get an appointment, you don't wait a year and a day when you get there, and i always leave feeling like i can see again. this is the best place in modesto to keep your eyes health! read more

I have been coming to Dr. Whatcott to have my eyes checked for new glasses for many years. I was always treated in a professional manner, and had no problems with new prescriptions. I only give a one star rating (for past performance) because this time my new glassed distort the shape of objects. This has never happened before. I have 4 old pairs of glasses and none of them have this distortion! When I complained, more than once, they finally made an appointment for me to see Dr. Whatcott. It was supposed to for me to tell him about the distortion and what could be done about it. When I got there, a woman took me into a room to test my glasses, then I went in to see Dr. Whatcott. He was extremely rude. He insisted on retesting my eyes. I tried to tell him about the distortion but he held up his hand and said "stop". He repeatedly stopped me from say what was wrong with the glasses. I started to ask him if his lab could have made a mistake, but, again he held up his hand and said "no", we will not go there. He was repeatedly rude and would not have the glasses corrected, or even listen to what was wrong with them! He just said "We're Finished". I am elderly, and in my opinion, this man becomes a bully when confronted with a professional problem. He has lost a longtime patient. Patricia L. read more

Bait and Switch ... I did my homework by contacting my insurance company and going to this in-network provider for a new contact prescription. When I made my appointment I was vary clear as to what I wanted. When I showed up I was again very clear and "Angie" at the front desk was very clear as to making sure that my visit was covered by my insurance. They took me into a pre-exam process, finishing with "we are ready for the doctor, just sign here" which was authorization for them to charge me an ADDITIONAL amount for a contact prescription to which I made it clear (again and now the 3rd time) that I was quoted an amount and would not sign this document. The doctor - Whatcott, came and got me for the balance of the exam. At the end he asked me what I wanted to do and I repeated that I came to get a contact lens prescription to which he said there would be an additional charge and when I drilled through my steps regarding knowing my costs in advance he became border-line hostile; i.e. rude and making sure I knew that he knew that no matter where I went I would be faced with an extra cost. He would not let me complete my point that I had been given my cost. He agressively walked me to the check out counter, telling his staff to deal with me and with an attitude that was clearly telling me how wrong I was and that in his 36-years I am the first person to raise the issue; hard to believe. His lead staff person at least made me feel like she cared. I have filed a complaint with my insurance company and the California Medical Board. The money is minor, and I would have probably paid it if it had been explained to me in detail and / or he hadn't taken an attitude but the treatment is not acceptable. With all of the forms and disclaimers that doctors have you sign I have to assume this is a common issue especially when I made if very clear that I wanted NO surprises as to my cost. I have been wearing contacts for almost 40-years and have never been treated this way; the lack of respect that was due. This doctor is classified as a professional and should be held accountable to higher standards than a used car sales person. By the way, his hostility seem to rise when I was clear that I was looking for a prescription ONLY as he eluded to me buying contacts from his office. Point of reference, I was planning to buy the first batch from his office but only if all went as planned. This doctor may be good at what he does - I have to trust, but each year I get an exam and this is the ONLY time that I have been treated with lacking professionalism. Maybe he has been working too long and needs a reasonable amount of time away from his practice to re-gathers his thinking and improved treatment of a customer. read more
