Genuinely the best experience I’ve ever had in my entire life with any medical professional. Dr Gamboa and Shwin are truly both so knowledgeable, kind, helpful, personable and thorough. After my visit I can’t see myself going anywhere else again for eye care!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Faye and her husband Shwin! They are truly exceptional — warm, professional, and incredibly efficient. From the moment you walk into their eyeglass shop, you’re treated with genuine care and attention. Dr. Faye is thorough and knowledgeable, and Shwin goes above and beyond to help you find the perfect frames. Together, they make the whole experience smooth, enjoyable, and personal. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for outstanding eye care and a beautiful selection of glasses. You’ll be in the best hands.
Dr. Faye and Shwin are the loveliest service providers you could have. They turn an eye exam into a delightful experience. Dr. Faye is efficient and informative. My prescriptions are always spot on. Shwin is really good at helping you pick out glasses that look good on you, with honest feedback that is invaluable - especially when you can’t see without your glasses! I really cannot recommend them highly enough. Everyone I know who goes here, loves them.
I haven’t seen an optometrist in over a year. Dr. Gamboa was so thorough with the exam that I was able to UNDERSTAND my eye health, not just get a prescription. I’ve struggled with having such a low prescription that glasses are more of a hassle than not wearing them. When I told her this, she tried a newer lens that I didn’t know existed and I could see so clearly! Shwin was so thoughtful with what I was looking for, and he pulled so many styles to determine what I would like. Once he had an idea for it, he started grabbing frames that suited me better than I would have picked for myself!!! I walked in hoping to get 1 pair of glasses and walked out purchasing 3 (and I think I’m going back for a fourth that I can’t stop thinking about🫣). I went in for an eye exam, but left with an experience. I’m excited to visit them again next year!
First time here to Wanderlust and it was long overdue to say the least. I need to get my eyes checked more regularly as we have some pattern dystrophy in the family. The whole process was nice and easy and Dr. Faye explained everything to me. I did end up getting some new lenses for my old school glasses and will use them more regular now. Overall great experience and highly recommend! Thanks
