This office is only there to make money, they could care less about eye health. My 6 year old wears glasses and he has Medi-Cal. He lost his glasses and needed another pair. They told me his insurance wouldn't cover replacement glasses. I believed them and had to buy some otc glasses froma CVS that were close to his rx because their frames were just too expensive. After a while, I called his insurance to see about appealing just to find out he has unlimited replacements which the office was told. I called them back and they said they could fill his rx if I paid for an office visit. I told

I've been coming here for years, so it makes sense to put 5 star-stickers on this review. First of all, they have a Dutch-door-front-door, being Dutch, that is a plus. Here's how it goes... I open the door, walk in, I am greeted immediately by the lady at the front desk who asks me to sign in. I have an appointment so she takes me to a side room where a couple of tests are performed. I call it the "POOFFF" test, measuring eye pressure, then another test, then the highlight of tests, 3D!! Never had that before so that was fun. The last test is to find out if I am color blind
