Initially, I thought it was weird to make a review about an optometry office, but at the end of the day, I am a man who can appreciate and recognize quality, customer service, and overall quality service being given, so I knew it was about time to make a review for this place. I've been going to Dr. Solomovici and staff for around 2 years, and I never feel really scared or I feel like an idiot when I go over there, I just bring myself, and they'll take care of the rest. I know that sounds kind of ridiculous, like why would I be nervous to go to an eye appointment, but honestly, if you compare that to how you feel going to the dentist, or going to the doctor, one of the main differences is how the actual staff makes you feel, and sometimes that heavily dictates your perception of the particular practice, and Dr. Solomovici runs an amazing practice, and has a stellar supporting cast - the girls at the front are always friendly and happy to assist, and that should not go unnoticed. I'm very glad I literally live five minutes away from this place, so long as I don't change insurance, I'll be here for as long as I possibly can. Thanks, Woodside! read more

Every time I visit this office the staff Luann, Monse, Kimberly are just so inviting and professional. The vibe is always positive, and they really know how to take care of me. I know they go above and beyond when it comes to customer service amazing job. I have had the opportunity to know the Dr, for some years now and her professional approach is impeccable. She brings such a warm and relaxing vibe and that's a reflection of her outstanding staff. Thank you! Eddie read more

I came today to see if they could fix my glasses that had a broken/stripped screw. They saw to my issue right away! Unfortunately, the screw was too stuck, but they referred me to two glasses repair businesses that could help. Excellent service!! read more

I have used Woodside Optometry for my glasses for several years and am always satisfied with their service and the glasses I have purchased there. They make every transaction easy. I just made my annual visit this week and was helped by Kimberly. She went over the top to help me make the best selection of eye wear and could not have been more professional or kind. She had me in and out, done transaction in less than 30 minutes. Thanks Kimberly! read more

I was a patient for Dr Liat for over a year. I believe she is a smart, competent optometrist and her office is great. Sadly, my eyesight is such that it was hard to balance near sight and long distance. I totally understand this may be difficult to do. When I called for a refill of my contacts a month or so ago, I mentioned for this upcoming annual visit, I would need to try again to see if we can better balance this. Surprisingly, the doctor called me back herself, and said she was dropping me as a patient! Not sure if they also sign a Hippocratic oath but this was extremely shocking behavior to me. I have always been unfailingly polite and never have I laid accountability on her. read more

The staff was welcoming and attentive, making sure I taken care of when I entered. The office itself is small but put together with displays of various glasses brands. The doctor was thorough during my examination, taking the time to explain each step of the process. I appreciated how she answered all my questions and provided helpful recommendations. The selection of frames is good, and I found a stylish pair that I'm excited to wear. read more

I followed the doctor over from Costco about 38 years ago and have never looked back. She is the ultimate professional and as I tell people if anyone can figure out your prescription it is her! I literally had a coworker say years ago that no one could figure out a prescription for her to get contacts, but Liat did! She will give you trials if she has them for you to make sure you get the ones that work the best for you if you are close to two prescriptions. She also has a great selection of designer glasses to choose from if you want to buy from her, as well as the ability to order contacts for you from many different brands. She also accepts the VSP Vision insurance that I have which makes everything easy and affordable. Now that I've moved I drive 100 miles each way just to see her and it's worth it! read more

As soon as I entered the lovely ladies welcomed me and are very kind. They are very professional. The eye doctor is great she explained very thing thoroughly and i felt good about getting my eyewear from here. When i picked up my glasses they were perfect. Good job guys read more

Dr. Solomovik is a really wonderful optometrist. I have been going to her practice for the past 2+ years. She is thorough when conducting examinations and skillful in getting the perfect prescription. When I noticed a sudden vision change recently, I called her office and was able to schedule an appointment quickly. Turned out that it was an ingrowing eyelash that had damaged my cornea. She resolved the issue effectively and scheduled a follow-up appointment to make sure my vision was back to normal. I really appreciate the fact that her prompt scheduling prevented further damage to my eye. Dr. Solomovik truly cares about her patients. I have had several optometrists over the past two decades with mixed experiences. Never have I had such a positive experience with both the optometrist and her office team. I am so glad that I found them! read more

So happy my family and I decided on Woodside Optometry!!! Dr. Solomonic I is amazing. She was so patient and thorough with my eye exam. My daughter had an appointment before me and unfortunately she had written down the wrong time. She immediately called the office and said the gal on the phone was so nice and understanding. They told her to come on down and not to worry. Dr. Solomovici and her staff are second to none!!! So patient, so professional and a pleasure to work with!! This family are going to be customers for life! read more

The best optometry experience I've ever had! Great team and great optometrist. I was struck by their thoroughness and care. Plus, the glasses they offer are all the best brands for such a great price. Way cheaper than Lenscrafters. read more

Very happy with the quality and detail of my new prescription glasses. I need a significant prescription correction for near sightedness and also need progressive lenses. These are the best lenses I've had and I'm very happy with overall quality and service I've received. read more

I've been going to Dr. Solomovici at Woodside Optometry for several years. I have a high prescription and need to be very careful about my vision health. I appreciate the thoroughness and care that Dr. Solomovici and her team show in keeping an eye on my eyes. read more

I was not a current customer of Woodside Optometry, but I dropped-in due to stepping on my dark glasses, and I asked if someone could straighten them. I received incredibly helpful service. My glasses were fixed, and the experience was terrific. I offered to pay for straightening of the frames, and the rep refused payment stating that she was glad to be of help. I highly recommend this business for its quality of service & kindness. read more

I am never disappointed with the care that I receive by Dr. Solomovici's. With Covid making scheduling doctor appointments challenging the staff has been very accommodating with my appointment due to my last minute work schedule change. Staff is always so friendly and knowledgeable when it comes to contacts or frames. Office is practicing social distancing, wearing mask and gloves and they kindly ask patients to wait outside to have minimal patients in the office and I noticed that they are sanitizing has much as possible to keep the office and exam room clean. Thank you Woodside Optometry! read more

This is an excellent location mid peninsula for eye exams and prescription glasses, frames, and contact lenses. The staff, while small, are highly trained, friendly, and professional. It may take 3 to 4 weeks to schedule an exam here, so plan accordingly . Convenient times on Saturday and evenings, closed all day Wednesday and Sunday. There are many fashion frames for men and women as well. Easy to access on Woodside Road close to Safeway. Recommended! read more

Woodside Optometry - Optometrists Near Me - Redwood City, California

Yes I know it sometimes is a drag to read Yelp Reviews that look like a college essay but I suggest you stick around. Dr. Solomovici is an angel! At age 9, my parents scheduled an appointment for my first eye exam. Since then I have needed glasses. Obviously as a child, you go to whomever your parents guide you towards. I am now 29 YEARS OLD and I would NEVER go to anyone else but her. From the good ol Costco days to now Woodside Optometry. With any good Optometrist comes the popularity in clientele. Yes, I sometimes have to wait 2-3 weeks to go in for a check-up but I can sincerely say I don't mind it because every single time I walk in that little cozy dark room with Doc, she smiles. She is kind, she is thorough, she is knowledgable, personable, approachable, the list continues. I can honestly say I have never had a bad experience being there. I just went in today, had my exam, awesome experience per usual. I expressed my desire of exploring a new option for contacts and immediately she found a great fit for me! Also found out I have stigmatism on my left eye (had no clue what that meant) she was able to explain easy peasy without me even asking. Truthfully, I believe in her blindly (no pun intended) even if she didn't explain, I would have just wore whatever she recommended no questions asked. THAT'S the kind of trust I have in her and that's not something I give out that easily. Hope this review helps encourage the visit. Wouldn't have typed all this up if it didn't come from the heart. PS, Pretty much get everything from her. Contacts, frames and shades. There are PLENTY of frames to select from at the office. Anything from High-End to a more economic option. Same with contacts, just ask and you shall receive!!! read more

Really good experience! My wife and I visited Woodside optometry a few months ago to get a couple of glasses made and order a few months' supply of contacts. Dr. Solomovici and all of her staff are extremely kind, patient, thorough, professional and experienced. Every aspect of our interaction was a 10/10 experience. Dr. Solomovici did our eye test and spent a lot of time explaining everything to us in great detail. Her staff let us take all the time we needed to try on dozens of pairs of glasses and explained to us the different lens options and our insurance coverage in abundant detail. They also have a huge selection of frames including designed/branded ones and we were completely satisfied with the glasses we got made. Highly recommend, and will visit again next year! read more

I've been a long time customer at Woodside Optometry and they always go above and beyond! Recently I had a serious incident with my eye and they quickly jumped into action, helping me find an urgent appointment at their facility and going the extra mile to help find an appointment at my opthalmologist. I highly recommend Woodside Optometry! read more

This is a great eye doctor and she takes VSP which was super helpful. The doctor is kind and thorough and helped me identify an eye issue previously undiagnosed that I as relieved to learn is benign but requires some care. Easy parking and reasonable rates and office ours, but i had to deduct a star because it took a full week and 3 phone calls to get an itemized receipt from my contacts for my flex spending account and they nearly suspended my card for that. Otherwise very happy! read more

Woodside optometry is a great place for frames and all types of lenses, the Doctor provided exceptional service to all patients. I will definitely be back read more

Providing an update on my review. 8 years later, I'm still seeing Dr. Solomovici and as happy as ever! she's very knowledgeable and kind. If I'm ever having a issue with my eyes or need help with my glasses, she's able to fit me in. Great selection of glasses and she worked with me to find the most comfortable contacts, since my eyes can be sensitive. Highly recommend! read more

This is an excellent place to get my eye prescription filled for eyeglasses. Dr. Solomovici is always friendly and exhibited patience in fulfilling my eye examination needs. Kimberly is very friendly and helpful in getting my two pairs of eyeglasses adjusted to my satisfaction. Overall, this is a customers-oriented store and I will continue to bring my business to them. read more

Great service, selection and quality. Quick turnaround and fair prices. I will go back.

I've always had such an amazing experience at Woodside Optometry. The doctor is really kind and knowledgeable. All of the personnel is very nice, sweet, helpful and more than anything, professional. Definitely recommend! read more

I've been here several times - once for an exam, once for a fitting, and once when I broke my frames. Without fail, the staff is friendly and helpful and the Dr. is cheerful and willing to take the extra few minutes necessary to put my mind at ease. Plus, they not only let my kids try on what seemed like every pair of frames in the store but actually encouraged them! The only downside is that it is hard to get appointments here, this level of service seems to create a very loyal customer base. read more

Woodside Optometry is great. It's always a pleasant experience going in. Dr. Liat Solomovici is is, warm, professional and knoweledgable. They have a good selection of glasses and will help you figure out what looks good. The office staff knows what they are doing and are nice. Nice counts for a lot these days! Someone always answer the phone - awesome :-). My son and I have both geen going for years and highly recommend! read more

My in laws referred me to Dr. Solomovici at Woodside Optometry. By far the best experiences I've had with my children at an optometry office. She is friendly and thorough. Dr. Solomovici went over any concerns and answered all the questions I had. The staff are amazing and friendly, they helped my children pick out glasses and are knowledgeable to what looks good or if your finding a particular look. They have an assortment of brands. The office is clean and everyone sanitizes equipment in front of you which is a plus! Patients are to asked to wash their hands before starting and temperatures are taken. They also participate in social distancing and are accommodating. When I scheduled my appointments they go through the steps when you show up which was thoughtful and appreciated. I will definitely recommend this office to friends and family. I'll continue bringing my family to this office! Thank you!!! read more

Still going to Woodside Optometry after close to a decade. Dr. Solomovici is very nice and informative. They always have a wide variety of frames. read more

For the past few years I visited Dr. Solomovich's practice in RWC. She is patience and actually listens to her clients. She does not try to upsell like many other optometrist do now days. Which is a big plus (she does have a very nice selection of pricey glass thou!). I had a pair of glasses with the right prescription but somehow they didn't work too well - I went back and explained her the syptoms, she took extra time to find out what was wrong with my glassed and asked the lab to re-work them with different material. The change of material worked! Kudos to her staff member, she is pleasant and very accommodating in getting you in. See you next year! read more

Horrible customer service! I called numerous times left numerous messages and never got a call back. I did get a hold of someone my last try and she put me on hold for 15 minutes before I hung up. I took my business else where. Good luck getting a hold of them! read more

Excellent service. Dr. Solomonici is kind, extremely competent and patient. The office staff couldn't be more accommodating and efficient. This was a good experience for script as well as purchase of frames and lenses. read more

I like the Dr very much. She's great and her staff are warm and welcoming. I highly recommend them. I love they are so close, I can walk to them, read more

After having the good fortune of 20/15 vision the first 40 years of my life and only needing OTC reading glasses in my 50's, suddenly 8 years ago I needed different types of surgery on both eyes and prescription glasses. Over the next few years I visited several optometrists in Palo Alto, but none of their prescriptions gave me good distance vision for both eyes. This year I was lucky to discover Dr. Solomovici who was the first to refract my eyes and suggest diopter changes that actually work, plus a Crizal lens coating that has greatly reduced glare while driving at night. The people who work in her office are also very pleasant and helpful with choosing and adjusting frames. I highly recommend Woodside Optometry. read more

Recently picked up a pair of prescription sunglasses from the store and was very impressed with the COVID protection measures implemented. I previously posted a review about the excellent skill, professionalism and customer service. The epidemic response is at that same top level. Much appreciated. read more

They don't keep their promise. I was told my glasses would be ready in two weeks. I need my glasses for work and school. It's been four weeks and they still haven't said a word about them. When I try calling them, they rarely answer the phone and when they do, they say they can't do anything. Terrible customer service. Very pricey for low quality work read more

Hands down, the best optometrist I've ever visited. As long as I live in the Bay Area, I'll be seeing Dr. Solomovici for my eye exams. When I tried to schedule an appointment for the first time, they were booked up until the next month! Speaks to the quality of their work, they are in high demand. I asked to be notified if any openings came up, and got a call about a week later. Dr. Solomovici was very friendly. She asked me questions about my vision, and checked my current glasses.. everything she did made me feel like she actually cares about my health. Her staff were also very nice and helpful. I took a long time trying on lots of glasses. Didn't feel pressured at all to hurry up and buy something. Eventually I found something I liked and they found something similar that I liked even better! read more

There has been times when a more local or convenient optometrist would suffice, however, the service, attention and professionalism exuded by Dr Liat and her TEAM draws me back wherever it's time for New EyeGlasses. Although the location is small their stature is giant. The selection of eyewear is current and plentiful, if there is something you can't find and want her connections are always at the ready to provide. You "got" to check this it out. In all ways,,, stellar. Thank you, you are the Best JK McC read more

Unfortunately the office never returned any of my calls, I am a repeat client. After calling 4 times and leaving voice messages, no one called back. I will be changing my optometrist read more

Staff are quite friendly, and the optometrist visit was a standard one. However, they often don't follow up after you call them. This happened to me 3-4 times regarding replacement nose pads and contact lenses. read more
