Dr. Tran was excellent. He explained my options and was thorough, yet quick and efficient. I did not feel rushed. He was very personable. The other two staff working were very nice and did great job. I wish I caught their names for a shoutout. I don't have any complaints and would recommend this location. I had a contact lens and glasses exam.
I had a great experience. The doctor is funny and knowledgeable, not to mention efficient. He’s fast but doesn’t rush. Also the Opticians were very friendly and helpful. Especially one guy who seemed to know how everything worked I’m assuming was a manager of some type I did not get his name but the questions seems to go to him.
I have not had an eye exam, in over 6 years, Dr. Tran, and his staff, were excellent, I can see again, lol, Highly recommend lisa!!
Not a good first experience. I tried to call to see if there were any same-day appointments at 1:30pm and the receptionist told me "I don't think so, the Doctor doesn't have anything else on his schedule so he is trying to leave early for the day, so I don't think he would want to stay to see you today." I politely asked if she would double check for me, I was put on a brief hold, and she came back and said "I'm sorry, the Doctor would like to leave for the day and is unable to take any more appointments today." I don't so much mind that they couldn't accommodate a same-day appointment, it was more that the receptionist was basically telling me the Dr. 'didn't feel like working' and so I would have to wait. Not a great look, lacking professionalism.
Dixie and Jennifer took great care of me & I love my new glasses. The price was very affordable and the glasses were ready just 5 days after I ordered them, which was 2 days faster than they told me it would be. My only hiccup there was that I was told I had to have my prescription prior to ordering glasses, but it wasn’t specified that it had to be a paper copy. I had a picture of the prescription on my phone. So if you are going just to pick out glasses be sure to bring a hard copy of your prescription.
