Eye Smart Optometry

Just overall the best. Been coming for years now. Quick service. Answers all questions you have. Great service ,attitude , atmosphere. 👏 I don't do reviews. So these guys really deserve the praise.

Dr.Nguyen and his staff are very friendly and make sure I get the right frame and lens types for my active usage at a fair price. Will definitely come a 3rd time for my next prescription

This review is long overdue, but I wanted to come back and tell everyone how incredibly impressed I have been with the fantastic and efficient service I received here. I had been putting off going to the optometrist for so long because everywhere I had checked previously either 1) didn't take Medi-Cal or 2) quoted an unreasonably high price and/or long wait time just to get a new glasses or contacts prescription. On 02/06/2025, I did a quick Google search and found this place, which is located just a few minutes away from where I live. The man on the phone was nice and spoke clear English and helped me to make an appointment right away. I parked in the back of Asian Garden Mall as instructed and found myself in front of the shop immediately. The worker at the front was kind and courteous to all customers, young, old, Vietnamese, English. Despite several other customers being there, I only waited a short while filling out paperwork before being given seen by the doctor. Dr. Andrian performed the glasses and contacts eye exam quickly, making minor adjustments to my prescription as needed. He was attentive, gentle, and made me feel very comfortable as the patient. After finalizing my prescription, Dr. Andrian gave me trial contact lenses, which I put on in the bathroom. He then walked me out and showed me the huge selection of glasses I could choose from with my insurance. I picked a pair of glasses, ordered a box of contacts, then returned 2 weeks later to pick them up (a nice woman called on (02/17/2025 to notify me when everything was ready). The whole process from A-Z was pleasant and smooth. They're really take their time and are so wonderfully accommodating, even tweaking my new glasses to my liking. TL;DR: I had an AMAZING experience at this small unsuspecting shop in the Asian Garden Mall. No wonder people come back! Dr. Andrian and his staff are amazing, kind, and deserve the world! :)))

I was recommended by my sister, and had a great experience at this office! Dr. Nguyen was friendly, knowledgeable and fast. He explained any follow up questions I had. The front desk staff was also very easy to communicate with and attentive. Overall, everything was smooth and pleasant!

He was fine until I requested my medical records which I’m entitled to under the law and he got weird telling me to get them from my ophthalmologist. My ophthalmologist doesn’t track or measure the same things so if I want to track my vision measurements over time or if my cornea is changing or even if I’m switching optometrists, for example, I need this optometrist’s records. I still don’t understand why this optometrist got so defensive and sullen after my request since it’s always so easy to get records from other doctors. In the end he didn’t give them to me even though that’s illegal. My appointment had two parts because I needed dilation drops. The second part of the exam after I’d requested my records was so awkward and uncomfortable because his demeanor totally changed and he got really quiet and tense whereas he was talking normally just 20 minutes or so before. I’m honestly baffled why it was such a big deal. He’s also vague when I ask questions that are answerable if he looks at my past records. Like I asked him if my cornea had changed since my last visit because my vision seemed worse and he didn’t really answer me. I didn’t feel comfortable asking questions after that even if I wanted to. The overall effect of this experience is I ended up skipping my next two eye exams (yes this was almost 3 years ago) because I didn’t want to deal with him again and the sudden, unwarranted personality change creeped me out. Even my partner commented it was odd and he’s happy go lucky and never notices these types of things. The two stars are for him being a decent optometrist before this interaction and because the older woman who works here is very nice.
