I’ve been a client for 30 years. Dr Karikomi has guided me thru the many phases of my eyes. He is detailed, thorough and always cheerful. He has excellent staff. A truly professional experience you don’t get with the optometry chains.
I took my son to Dr. Bak for an Infant SEE assessment and I was immensely impressed with the level of individualized care. The receptionist even brought little toys to help entertain my son during the assessment, which was the sweetest personal touch. We will absolutely be returning for our family's future eyecare needs!
The entire team at Eye Level is wonderful. I have been loyal to Dr Bak for several years, as she provides a high level of comfort and care during her eye exam. The location is tucked away and worth finding. Highly recommend this eye care resource.
Dr. Karikomi is the best! I do not trust anyone else with my eyes. He is kind, patient and thorough. The staff is also very friendly and knowledgeable. It's always a pleasant experience at Eye Level! UPDATE 4.23.26: It’s rare to find a provider you trust for decades—and that alone speaks volumes. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Karikomi for nearly 30 years, and even though I haven't worked downtown since 1999, I still make the trip annually because the level of care is worth it. Dr. Karikomi is consistently professional, patient, and genuinely attentive. You can tell he truly cares about the long-term health of his patients’ eyes, not just the appointment in front of him. The practice is equipped with modern, state-of-the-art technology, which adds an extra level of confidence to the overall experience. The staff is equally impressive—knowledgeable, efficient, and welcoming. Every interaction feels smooth, thoughtful, and handled with care. Overall, a highly trusted practice that I’ve confidently returned to year after year. Especially great for anyone looking for a provider who takes a thorough, long-term approach to eye health.

I’ve been coming here for a few years and it’s always been such a wonderful experience. It’s refreshing to have providers that are passionate and caring towards their patients. Dr. Magdalena Bak is the BEST, so personable and answers all questions with enthusiasm and care.
