I always look forward to my annual visit with Dr. Klufas! She is so kind, professional, and down to earth, and my visits are always super efficient. Her staff is also incredible. They are really helpful when choosing a new pair of lenses and always seem like they're having the best time! I highly recommend making your next eye appointment with Dr. Klufas!

I called another VSP provider who only had an answering machine and did not get back to me. Dr. Klufas' receptionist was helpful, personable and kind and was able to get me an appointment in a timely manner. They have my business for life!

Thoughts: I've lived in the Bay Area (Palo Alto & SF) for over 10 years and get a thorough eye exam each year. Of the 4 offices I've tried over the years she has been the best, hands-down. She takes care to really listen and explain things until you understand them and walks each patient through plans to address any eye concerns or issues. Establish care with her and you'll be able to look forward to your annual checkup.
**COVID19 update:** I saw Dr. Klufas yesterday during COVID19 and was impressed with the level of protection and care Dr. Klufas and her staff took to disinfect

Dr. Klufas provides a standard of care that is diminishing and that we have taken advantage of for too long without appreciation and even though we've known each other for nearly 20yrs I have no doubt in my mind that every one of her patients receives the level of care and honesty that I cannot even explain.

A very disappointing experience after her practice (not her individually) came recommended. As a person who has never needed to go to the eye doctor until now, Dr Klufas created a very uncomfortable environment for me. With zero interest in making me feel comfortable, I was most taken aback by how she literally made NO attempt to be helpful. From not telling me anything she was doing (you would think that telling your patient you're about to numb their eyes for the first time would be in the text book...no?) to brushing off all my questions and making me feel like an annoyance for being curious

I love Dr Klufas! I also visit Dr K @ Site For Sore Eyes and completely trust her with my eyes. I highly recommend seeing her, no pun intended.
