Compton Eyecare Optometry

I truly miss Messenger and his team 😞 they were the absolute best,. The professionalism, the help and concern was unmatched and I was a patient for more than 25 years as well as my children. The new owners are not the same no support,concern or care minimal conversation and very unprofessional. Tried to make an appointment but the person answering was more concerned about medical. And then told me rudely “ no walk ins” no way I would ever walk in and this point I need eye care elsewhere. Everyone can’t work in the medical field it’s 10% paycheck 30%,20% empathy, and 40% professionalism and they don’t have it I hate this for the community rather insurance or medical people should effectively communicate.

I came here for the first time to bring my daughter for her eye exam. Her pediatrician referred me to this eye doctor. From the moment on getting on the phone and making an appointment, their customer service was really nice. On the day of the appointment it was kind of difficult finding parking on the street. I didn’t know we can park on the “La Quinta Real” Mexican restaurant’s parking lot on the back side. It would have been nice if they would have advise me where to park over the phone. That’s a suggestion of mine to let their patient know before hand. Their office receptionist are so nice. They have an amazing team with great customer service. Dr. Francis (sorry if I misspelled his name) was nice and patient. My daughter got her first pair of glasses. Next thing you know, I made an appointment for my self. Completely satisfied with this office. Ps. Their office is small and gets busy but they are quick to take you in.

My daughter’s glasses are broken. I called to notify that my daughter needs repair for her glasses. The frame is OK. It’s just the part that attaches to the ear that needs to get fixed. I was notified by the receptionist that it would be around $45-$75 approximately. I also added that I would bring in a new pair of glasses and just have the frame replaced with the one that she needs. That would also cost me around $70 at least. It’s insane to think that kids have to go through this and parents are expected to pay out-of-pocket cost. Her teacher has already called me today to notify me. She’s having trouble reading . She is currently waiting for her new order prescription and it’s taking at least a month for the order to be processed due to the medical insurance processing time. I will be notifying my daughter’s insurance about the situation as well.

I've been going here since 1989 when it was owned by Dr. Jay Messenger. He retired many years ago and it was renamed Compton Eye Center. The service is good. The only downside is finding parking.

I recently accompanied my dad to his eye appointment, and we were both extremely impressed with the care and professionalism we received. The doctor was kind, thorough, and took the time to explain everything clearly. My dad felt very comfortable and well taken care of, which means a lot to us. The entire staff was friendly and helpful from start to finish. Highly recommend this office for anyone looking for quality eye care!
