As usually upon walking in you are greeted with a friendly smile and hello which is always a plus for customer service. We were given trays for our glasses while they checked on our coverage. They have a very nice selection of men and women glasses. We are always pleased with this business. Agnes is very nice and helpful... she was able to help myself and my husband with our selection process. After finding the glasses we both liked CeCe also very nice and helpful came over to assist us and everything went smoothly. We were able to both get the glasses we liked and Agnes help my husband with his old pair we purchased from them years ago. Great customer service as usual and we highly recommend them for your eye glass care. We'll upload pictures of our new glasses in a few weeks. Thanks ladies for everything.

I had Dr. Pham for my most recent visit and I couldn't recommend her more. She is a true expert in her field with excellent bedside manor. Dr. Pham spent the time to get to know my eye health history and explore any concerns I had. She provided an excellent and thorough eye exam experience. The whole staff is very helpful and friendly. Alexia, who did the begin portion of my eye exam, was attentive and nice to visit with. Agnis helped me explore their selection of glasses, and while I didn't end up buying a pair she was very kind. Thanks to the whole team for a great experience. I'm very excited for my new prescription.

I'm honestly shocked We've used this store multiple times before for our son's glasses, so I…read morewalked in expecting to look at frames and purchase another pair. Instead, I was told I needed an APPOINTMENT just to look at glasses. Seriously? There wasn't a single other customer in the store looking at frames, yet you turned away someone who was literally there ready to spend money. You lost a sale over requiring an appointment just to LOOK at glasses. I could understand needing an appointment for an eye exam, but requiring one just to browse frames and purchase glasses is ridiculous--especially when the store was empty. No problem though! I'll happily take my money somewhere else that actually wants the business. ‍

Today was my first visit to Li and Liao Optometry. I decided to visit the location on Brimhall Rd…read morewhich is the NW location. I was very impressed with how smooth my first interaction was. I was greeted by the front desk receptionist with a friendly welcome and smile. My wait was no more than 5 mins after my scheduled appointment. I was assisted by Carmen who is one of the friendliest and most knowledgeable there can be. For my pre-exam the process was smooth as I was navigated to each eye machine. I then waited for Dr. Li and again not long. He greeted me with a great sense of humor. He is very easy going and is attentive to patient's needs. He is quick to address any concerns you may have. You can rest assured your questions are answered honestly. He is one of the most thorough optometrists I have even been around. He reviewed all the graphs and results of my pre-eye exam and broke down what exactly I was looking at. I essentially was looking at my entire eye health. This something unique and akin to what a dentist would show you when they take x-rays. I was really impressed. He was very forthcoming about what to expect as I age with my eye health. He also was able to provide a sense of understanding. I was very appreciative of his knowledge. Following my visit, I was escorted to the optician (I forget her name). She assisted me in selecting frames. She helped me with understanding what my insurance covers, and she even allowed for me to combine my wife's coverage. She was very patient with all my questions and not once I ever felt rushed. I may have kept her longer than I intended and had to depart. However, I was introduced to the person that finished up for her and that optician too (I forget her name) was very nice. At the end I was able to select a quality pair of frames that I am sure I will be happy with! From start to end the visit was one of the best I have ever had! The facility is comfortable and inviting. The entire staff I encountered were all very professional and courteous. Dr. Li was simply a joy to speak to and I am sure I can trust him with all my needs for years to come! I cannot recommend him enough. If you need an optometrists consider Li and Liao Optometry! Just a note, I saw many reviews and was skeptical at first in purchasing frames at the optometrist's office. I am someone who have been accustomed to purchasing eyeglasses from Costco. Costco offers a good selection, and the costs are more than fair. However, I can say that after my visit with Dr. Li and having the opportunity to keep an open mind to see what they offered I opted to purchase my frames from his establishment. I wanted to support not only a doctor who knows his craft but a business who provides awesome service, impeccable knowledge of eye health and second to none care. I find that when sitting with an optician I get the most out of selecting the best frames. Of course, you will see name brand choices, and this may scare some when it comes to pricing. But I compare it to what are you willing to pay for your health. It is like purchasing a good mattress so one can sleep well. I look at glasses the same, you may be wearing these 24/7. The brands offered are quality. In the end its worth it!

From the moment we walked in, the practice manager, doctor, and staff were all incredibly kind, polite, caring, and professional. They made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. They took the time to thoroughly examine our eyes and helped each of us pick out the perfect glasses without making us feel rushed. What meant the most to our family was the care they showed my son. They were able to diagnose an issue with his eyes and guided us toward the proper care he needed. Their attention to detail and genuine concern made all the difference. It's clear that everyone at Bakersfield Eye Care truly cares about their patients. We are so grateful for their compassion, expertise, and outstanding customer service.

I visited on three separate…read moreoccasions, and each time I felt that I was treated poorly and unfairly, particularly during my interactions with the front-office staff. As a Black woman, these repeated experiences left me feeling unwelcome and discriminated against. In addition to the customer service issues, I experienced problems with my prescription not being handled correctly, and I later developed an eye infection, which was extremely concerning and frightening. What made the situation even more frustrating was my attempt to contact the office for assistance. My calls were repeatedly forwarded or went unanswered. However, when I called from a different phone number, my call was answered. This only added to my concerns about how I was being treated. Based on my personal experiences, I felt that I was treated differently because of my race. I have submitted a complaint regarding my concerns because I believe this situation deserves to be taken seriously. I would strongly encourage people of color to carefully consider my experience before choosing this establishment. No patient should ever leave a healthcare facility feeling ignored, disrespected, or discriminated against--especially when they are seeking help with their health.

I waited maybe 2minutes before i saw Dr.Miller :) He was so informative and knowledgeable about the issues with my eyes. I highly recommend this office. Best office I have been to in town. Also if you are looking for eye prescription and glasses they have them here too.

Dr. Miller has been my OD for the past 4 years. Initially when I came to him from another office I…read morewas having issues with my contacts. The ones I had been living with for years caused me discomfort and good vision wasn't a daily occurrence. The problem was mainly due to my high astigmatism. My previous OD couldn't help me and didn't really seem to try. Dr. Miller tried several different lenses with me until we found a good fit. Contacts had never felt so comfortable and my eyes weren't nearly as irritated as they had been before. Because they fit better I could also see much better. He made it clear to me that contacts weren't the best option for me due to my high astigmatism but that didn't stop him from doing everything he could to make it work. We also discussed other options like LASIK and other refractive surgery. I was always very interested in this and he answered all my questions, gave me every option available and left me with pricing. At the time the only option for me was a contact lens implant. The cost of this was very high and not an option I felt comfortable with. A few years later he mentioned the technology has improved since our last discussion and I was now a candidate for PRK (a type of refractive eye surgery). He gave me the pricing, answered my long list of questions, gave me realistic expectations and three weeks later I had the surgery. I couldn't be happier now! I see better than I ever have. Dr. Miller is a great OD. He seems to genuinely care about his patients and spends all the time needed with you to get the best results. In the four years I've been his patient I have went from having almost blind and miserable feeling eyes to seeing and feeling better than I ever have before.
