    Lenses from View Optical.

    Eh.. I feel like this place is kind of a scam. I popped in here looking for frames (already had my updated prescription on hand from Costco). I ended up falling in love with some Burberry frames and sat down with a consultant to discuss putting my prescription in them. She quoted me $600, just for frames and lenses! When I mentioned it was quite expensive, she told me.. "Well, they ARE Burberry". I thanked her for her time and left.. did some online shopping and found the same frames on Glassesonweb.com. I spent $167 ($120 for frames and the rest for lenses)!!! Even on LensCrafters website the frames were only $200 MAX. I get that they are a small business and need to make money but GEEZ. Definitely would never go through with business at View Optical. IMO. UPDATE 1): I keep getting notifications of a reply to my review. Amanda has edited her response to me twice now. I should have taken a screenshot but didn't think of it at the time. Her first response was, "Sorry for your feeling we not costco". Amanda, did you even read my review?! LOL. Second revision of her reply was, "Sorry for your feeling" and now she has updated it ONCE AGAIN to add some punctuation to her sentence, "Sorry for your feeling." I am so glad I did not do business with View Optical.. they are extremely unprofessional. UPDATE 2:) I wish I could directly respond to Amanda rather than continue to update my review in order to communicate with her, but oh well. Amanda, you have updated your reply to me several times throughout odd hours of the night.. (I attached a screenshot). Apparently you have time on your hands, but still could not grasp the point I made in my original review. All I said was that your prices are extremely high and that I found the same authentic frames and got my prescription put in them for a fraction of the price you quoted me, elsewhere. My first two photos attached DO in fact reflect the price you quoted me, and my third picture shows that I found the frames CHEAPER from a different establishment. If I want to describe your business as a scam and unprofessional because of your ridiculous prices and sassy attitude then I CAN. Sorry if you're not happy about it, instead of obsessing over your reply to me you should just pay Yelp to remove my review.

    I've been a loyal patient at Tri-City Optometry for the past 20 years, originally following Dr…read more Chatwani from her former office in Newark. My experiences have consistently been exceptional, which led me to transfer our care to her new location in Fremont. Two years ago, I encountered an unfamiliar situation regarding my eye exam and contact lenses for the first time. As I was new to the process, I felt a bit lost. After receiving my glasses, I decided to visit another optometry office for my contact lens prescription and exam to avoid the hassle of returning to Fremont constantly, especially since I live quite a distance away. However, I found that making the trip once a year for my family's check-ups was reasonable. Last year, my children, husband, and I had the pleasure of being seen by Dr. Young. She was incredibly kind and understanding, recommending that I consider both contact lenses and glasses during my visit. I appreciated her approach as it allowed me to take my time in making a decision without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. This year's experience exceeded my expectations. Just four days after purchasing new glasses, my daughter accidentally broke hers. However, Annel, one of the staff members, went above and beyond to assist us. Her kindness and attentiveness made me feel truly heard and valued. There was a moment where I contemplated switching to a different optometry office after two decades of loyalty, but after these recent positive interactions, I've decided to remain with Tri-City. I feel grateful not only for the wonderful care we receive but also for the improvements in staff that have made our experiences even better.

    Tri-City Optometry is the gold standard for bad customer service…read more This review is written on behalf of my sister, who is hesitant to post under her own name because she recently purchased an expensive pair of glasses here and is worried about possible issues or retaliation if she needs repairs in the coming year. Dr. Shital Chatwani rushes through the appointment, speaks down to the patient, does not answer questions clearly, and becomes visibly impatient when questions are asked. The entire interaction felt less like a medical appointment and the clear priority seemed to be getting the patient out quickly and into ordering expensive glasses, rather than taking time to explain things or address concerns. It honestly felt like dealing with a businessperson more than a doctor. Unfortunately, the poor experience did not stop with the doctor. The overall leadership and culture of this office seems weak, and it shows in the behavior of the staff. There are many employees walking around, yet when customers have questions, they often say "I'm busy" and walk away without offering to find someone else to help. In a professional practice, you would expect at least a basic effort to redirect you to another staff member. That simply does not happen here. The staff appear selectively nice to people they are trying to secure business from but otherwise the service is consistently rude, rushed, and unhelpful. The overall attitude is 'take it or leave it.' Even when there is no problem, you are treated with disregard. If there is a problem, I would not trust this office to handle it with care or professionalism. There are many excellent optometrists who accept VSP and other insurance plans. I strongly encourage people to look elsewhere and consciously choose to support a practice that actually respects its patients.

The next morning, the pain was getting worse and I was pretty desperate to get an immediate appointment into any optometry office. Most optometry offices open at 10am, but this one opens at 9am and I was lucky enough to get in for a 10:30 opening. Once I arrived, I got checked in pretty quickly. The staff there were all very pleasant and friendly. Soon after, I was in the exam room and Dr. Kimberly Haw came in. Dr. Haw was also very friendly and down to earth. I appreciated that she was very frank and straightforward about the potential level of injury that my eye could have sustained, yet also had a sense of humor that put me at ease. After examining my eye with some nifty gadgets, she was able to see that I had an abrasion on my cornea. She explained the condition, treatment plan - antibiotic drops, and things to look out for. I was originally just looking for ANY optometrist that would see me for my eye injury, but after my visit and positive experience today, I will return to Fremont Optometric Vision Care Center ongoing as a regular customer for my annual eye exams. Not that I plan to injure my eyes anymore, but if it happens again, Dr. Haw said to give their office a call as it is their practice to get people with eye injuries into the office ASAP for care. BTW, wear safety goggles when dealing with trees! I was just picking some dumb oranges when a random branch shot in at an angle right into my eyeball.
