Report
In the past I've gotten three pairs of glasses from here...only one ended up usable. Ends up the optician didn't know the effects of too much magnification for an astigmatism creates distortion and that taller lens are needed for progressives...even after going back they were unable to figure out the issue. It was only after changing optometrists (and ironical ending up going to see one that used to be @Foothill) and explaining the issue with those glasses that I was able to get an explanation and resolution. Wish I hadn't ended up wasting +$500 at Foothill.

I was referred here by a friend. I went online to book the appointment and it said I would receive a confirmation email. 4 days later no email. I called and was told it was only a request. Im good with that but I should have rectangular email telling me the time wasnt available. Instead, I got nothing. Not a great first impression.

I have been here for over 10 years and recently I decided to not go here anymore because of really really bad and weird appointments experiences and patient care service.

Please don't go to this money making place. My husband and I didn't need any glasses, the doctor still prescribed us one because our insurance covers $300 annual purchase of glasses . I had bad episodes of headaches and then I got my eyes tested again somewhere else, they said I don't need any!

I've been a patient at Foothill Optometric for over a decade, and when I went to make an appointment with my long-term doctor, I learned that Foothill was acquired/partnered with Total Vision and that almost every doctor left with the change. It was obvious that the staff was brand new, and service reflected that. I had to wait 30+ minutes for my appointment to start, the checkout process was slow, and in general the office didn't seem organized anymore. The new doctor I was assigned questioned my medical history, and another technician didn't pay attention to my chart before asking

One star is generous. My husband ordered glasses on 9/24; we were told it would take two weeks to get them back from the lab. After three weeks and at least 10 voicemails to the office they told us they were ready but when we went to pick them up they hadn't ordered the necessary prisms. He was seeing double. At first the tech said "you will get used to it" until I pushed and we were brought back to see the doctor again to get the prism prescription ordered. They were going to expedite this process. It is now two months since his first appt. I have left AT LEAST a dozen unreturned

Tried to make appointment today and they indicated Dr Yang was booked until next year. This has been the case over the past several years. I like Dr Yang, but hate dealing with office staff and their inability to make timely appointments. I will be looking for a new service provider.
