The covered Medi-Cal/VSP eye exam was not offered without an additional $39 retinal imaging fee. In my experience, this was presented as required rather than optional. I declined the add-on and filed a grievance with my insurance.
Very disappointed… Usually after every eye exam, someone usually helps me look at glasses. Today… Was the first time that I experienced going to my eye exam and billed towards the end with “ ok that’s all”. I asked if I am not eligible for receiving glasses? Although, I called to confirm prior to appointment & have the following insurance. Was told “ if you want to”.. I’m very disappointed!! I usually get the coverage by the insurance & pay the following remains. Not a problem for me, but apparently was for the staff. So, I commuted my way to my appointment & paid just to see if my eyes were ok? WOW thanks lol….
I received honest and friendly service when I came in to order my glasses and pick them up. The glasses were ready in a timely manner, an appointment was set and kept on time. The attendant assisted me with adjusting my glasses and making sure the prescription is correct in a friendly manner. I was also able to buy a high-end pair of sunglasses capable of taking my prescription. They stock a variety of Maui Jim and other prescription worthy glasses for being outside in the sun. What a difference to be able to read and see at a distance. Thanks.👏🤓😎
I've been going to Dr.Kuo for over 7 years, now and he and his staff are friendly and easy to communicate with. I have purchased prescription glasses as well as contact lenses and enjoy my yearly exams. I often have lots of questions and Dr. Kuo takes the time to explain my eye health and changes that occur as I get older. He is an active cyclist so he often has some really great Oakley and performance eyewear available on-hand.
Excellent service..... Great Staff.... could not be happier. Customer-oriented. Ordered specialty work frames with bifocal top and bottom. The optician fixed my badly twisted old pair of glasses so I have a back-up pair. Also ordered everyday glasses with no-line bifocals and transitioning sun glass. I'll Be Back!
