Excellent service. Friendly staff. Dr Shute is a respected and experienced Doctor. He’s been treating my wife for several years and has been very kind and patient. All procedures explained and questions answered. Thanks to all the staff at Eye Q!

So glad Dr. Huerta was able to not over celebrate the New Year holiday and make to a very short staffed work day at Eye Q today. Then again it is flu season. I really enjoyed meeting this doctor for the first time. She explained how my eyes were changing its prescription.

This place is fantastic. The whole staff was great Dr Hawkins was awesome and her team is amazing. My whole experience was top notch. I felt very well cared for and everything was explained to me. I had no issues with timing or long waits or less than enthusiastic employees. As soon as I went back into pre-op it was like a well oiled machine. Very efficient team and very comforting. I definitely recommend Dr Hawkins and Eye Q. Excellent!

I can't thank Dr. Neesurg Mehta enough for the exceptional care he provided to my mom. From our very first visit, he was kind, compassionate, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which gave our family so much peace of mind. He treated my mom with such respect and genuine care, and we truly felt she was in excellent hands throughout the entire process. We are also very grateful to his wonderful staff, who were friendly, patient, and made every visit a positive experience. Thank you, Dr. Mehta, for your dedication and for making such a difference in my mom's life. May God continue to bless you, your hands, and your entire team as you care for so many patients. We highly recommend Dr. Mehta to anyone looking for an outstanding eye doctor. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!

Dr. Mendoza was wonderful with my 11 year old daughter. He was kind, patient, and took the time to explain everything in a way that made her feel comfortable and at ease. The entire visit was a positive experience, and we never felt rushed. It’s clear that he truly cares about his patients and their families. We are very grateful for the excellent care he provided and highly recommend Dr. Mendoza and the Eye-Q team!

I always feel good about my visits with Eye-Q and especially with Dr. Tom. Appointments are usually right on time with little waiting and I am moved through each step without hitch. The staff is personable and efficient. Dr. Tom always enters the room with a warm smile and provides solid, comprehensible information. She is friendly, balancing her limited time frame with making me feel at ease.

The staff are efficient and cordial. I like the checkin through the kiosk. My only negative is the wait time. I arrived about 20 minutes before my scheduled appointment and I didn't see the doctor until 1 1/2 hours after my appointment time. It appears that the doctor overbooked his patients. My time with the Dr. was about 15 minutes.

Vision Eye-Q has a great location, a clean lobby, and a nice children’s area. Doctor Holtz was knowledgeable and provided excellent care. However, be prepared for long wait times. Even a simple prescription pickup appointment for my son took nearly an hour, and regular visits can easily last 3–4 hours or more. The office should consider creating a faster process for patients who are only picking up prescriptions and don’t need fittings or adjustments. A dedicated pickup/check-in option would make a big difference. Great care, but the overall experience would be much better with improved efficiency.

Dr. Holt and his staff are wonderful! I’m so appreciative of them! He is very knowledgeable and takes time to explain things. His staff is very welcoming and the environment is great for pediatric patients as well. Highly recommend!

I took my son for a one year follow-up. The clinic was nice, modern, and clean. The staff was super friendly. They definitely know their profession. However, we waited two hours in between the initial examination and check-in to only be seen by Dr. Holtz for less than five minutes. I didn’t feel important or valued.

From the moment you walk in, the front desk staff is warm and welcoming. His assistants are kind, respectful, and take the time to listen to your concerns during the examination. I truly enjoyed my appointments with Dr. Hiton. He is highly professional, knowledgeable, and I completely trust his diagnosis. I always leave his office feeling confident that my eyesight has been thoroughly and carefully taken care of. I highly recommend Dr. Hiton and his entire team. Sincerely, Jacqueline Fritz

The staff and Dr. Holt are wonderful. The are patient and kind and understanding. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is just because of the weight times. We are usually there for 3-4 hours and only seen for 10 minutes. I understand that the office is very busy and there is only one Dr. but plan and simple it’s just to long. They did add a playground which helps a LOT but I still feel the weight is too long, especially for small children.

My Dr is great and their whole office setup for checking in is great. Why the 1 star, because if you get a prescription for glasses it is incomplete missing the pupil distance unless you buy from them and pay $15. Not the end of the world but when I've already got 2 pairs of glasses from them in the past, I called for my PD number and they said it'd be $15 to release my previous order information to me. This is the type of nickel and dime tactic that has inspired me to look for a completely different office. When the basics go out the door, don't think that you are going to get quality care anymore.

The wait times are long but I think it’s because they are being thorough with the exams and if they have to dilate the eyes that adds on to the wait, I was pleasantly pleased they give snacks and a drink at the front desk, it was our first visit and we didn’t plan for it to take long but the snacks given to my daughter helped a lot since we were not prepared for the wait. Dr. Holt and staff are great and I will keep my daughter as a patient there.

Very good office. Staff courteous, friendly and helpful. Dr. Chen was great. She took such good care to explain what she was doing and recommended that I return for additional tests. Alondra, assistant for the doctor was great. She introduced herself which was very nice because you just wanna know whom they are. It was a great experience. Thank you!

Great Staff . Nice people . Doctors really nice very helpful. My only problem is my left eye is bad . I told nurse and doctor. But eye drops to dilate were strong. It takes over 12 hrs to go back to normal.

It is a good physical therapy place. I recommend. They are a different medical center too.

I recommend SoCal Eye for your ophthalmology and optometry visits because the staff are very friendly and helpful. Dr. Pasquali is also very friendly, kind, and patient with his patients and staff. The waiting room is very spacious, clean, and bright. The exam rooms are also very well-lit, sanitary, and organized. The parking lot has ample parking spaces, especially for those with disabled placards.

Great doctor Ted Pasquale is a wonderful doctor very kind patient nice makes you feel comfortable even if you're a nervous person he's a really good eye doctor

Dr. Emma McClay as one of the best doctors I have ever seen. She's knowledgeable, thorough, kind, and an excellent communicator. My diagnosis could be very distressing yet she makes me feel calm about it and has prepared me to accept it. So grateful to have been referred to her by Dr. Charles Maples.

Dr. Bovy, Dr. Z and Allison made my first "tweaking" appointment alot less scary than I had expected after my L.A.L cataract surgery. They all explained the process thoroughly and treated me very gently. I won't be afraid to continue the required number of tweaking appointments now. Dr. Carl has a fine tuned group of professionals that have treated me well for over 25 years!

Staff is awesome and everyone is friendly. Dr Clay does such an excellent job educating the patient

Dr. Hartman has been my eye doctor for many years and I appreciate his expertise. He does a lot of testing on your eyes and is very through. I highly recommend Dr. Hartman and So Cal Eye – Los Alamitos.

The team at SoCal Eye Physicians this visit was very enjoyable. My care was met with kindness, courtesy, backed with a very thorough exam. Thank You-

Very professional got a very thorough eye exam which I had to have for 20 years. Happy with the results. But I wish someone would have told me it would take 3 hours.

The staff and Dr. Pasquali are OUTSTANDING. I feel like I’ve never experienced that level of competency, efficiency and kindness all at once.

Dr. Dang was very thorough, patient, and friendly. I was very happy with how she examined my mom and explained the situation. My one and only complaint is that appointments are booked so far in advance. My mother can’t see well and can’t get anything done until June. Also, It’s not easy to continue treatment with the same doctor, which is very troubling. Otherwise, staff was very friendly and again, I really liked Dr. Dang.

Me and my daughter who is the patient had an outstanding experience with Dr. Amini. From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and efficient. The doctor took the time to thoroughly explain everything, answered all of my questions with patience, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire visit. The level of care and attention to detail was truly impressive. The examination was very thorough, and I appreciated how clearly the doctor explained my daughter''s condition and treatment options. I highly recommend this eye specialist to anyone looking for top-quality care and a genuinely compassionate approach. Definitely a 5-star experience!

Very caring. Let me explain my issues. Didn’t try to interrupt. Fully explained why these issues were occurring. Reassured this 80 year old lady that this wasn’t serious. Provided possible OTC solutions. She was very professional. I would see her again.

Due to less people during the summer, wait time was a lot less. Dr. Amini explained a new eye condition very well to me. He's always pleasant and knowledgeable. I'm lucky to have him as my retinologist

My mom has been seeing Dr Amini for years for eye injections. Unfortunately, she has been injured twice by Dr Amini. He has too many patients and spends only minutes with her. One time he scraped her eye. Yesterday, he bruised her eye while giving the injection. She went back and another doctor confirmed the bruise. Azul vision takes too many patients and rush through treatment. We only go there because Optum won’t approve her to go elsewhere. Their own doctor told her to switch to PPO to see better specialists. Avoid going to Azul vision if you can. You are just a number to them. The wait time can be 2-3 hours long. It’s just not sustainable for quality care.

I've been with Donaldson for 4 years now and they are incredible. They are friendly and efficient. Their office is quite, with plenty of waiting space and a really beautiful fish tank. Dr. Ardron is great, cares for his patients and ensure quick and efficient appointments. I reccomend all my friends who need eye care to Donaldson. I was referred here a few years back by a coworker and I am glad that this is the practice I ended up with. They also have a vision center for glasses shopping right accross the parking lot. Exceptional care.

Courteous and patient receptionist. Eye exam was quick but very thorough. Dr was pleasant and explained everything as he checked my eyes. I'm so happy we have this resource here so I don't have to go out of town. Much more convenient. Looked at new glass frames and will be choosing a pair soon .

The best experience with an eye care clinic I’ve ever had. I waited for a while in the lobby but to be fair, they got me in within a couple days without a referral. They run the place like a business but it sure beats the hell out of waiting months to get in to a small town doctor. The staff are also very friendly and helpful. Will be continuing care here for sure

I love these people! They are all very kind, compassionate and yet have a great sense of humor! My doctor (Gerard Ardron) makes me feel like I matter, as does Karen, Stephanie and all the techs and helpers in this office. I love to go there, even if it’s when I get my eye injections. I just had cataract surgery there and they made me feel cared for even in the surgery center. I’m not around people often, & I’m almost 71 so these people have a very positive impact on my well being. Thank you to all of you!!

I was very nervous about having cataract surgery. With that being said the staff were awesome 👍 highly professional and compassionate. They put me at ease. My Dr is a great surgeon, the nurse and the anesthesiologist totally awesome . I highly recommend this practice for all of your vision concerns.

Dr. Mahdavi is learned, personable and a great advocate for his patients. His upgrade to Pavblu for AMD seems to have shown improvement to my vision overnight. Thank you, Dr. Mahdavi.

My entire experience with Dr Chen was absolutely amazing. She was attentive to my concerns, she explained the process of the eye exam and answered my concerns with my vision. She was very professional and helpful. I’m happy to say that I’ve found my optometrist from this point forward.

ZERO STARS!! GO ELSEWHERE! Dr. Grant and his assistant Kimberly are TERRIBLE! She doesn’t respond and is rude. Dr Grant does not have a system in place and is truly chaotic. He makes it sound good and then leaves you hanging. My mother is rapidly losing vision due to lack of urgency and professionalism from them. Azul Vision should be shut down or get new management. Current management,assistants and counselors should reported by everyone. I’m reporting them to the board. There is no reason we should have waited 3 months for measurements after our initial appointment and now another 2-3 months to get scheduled FOR SURGERY (no telling how long we have to wait after) is RIDICULOUS. We are switching Drs. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

At appointment all staff are friendly, caring and efficient. The office is very modern and clean. Dr. Rocha was very caring, kind, helpful and knowledgeable. She explained everything very well. When calling in, long hold times before getting a live person on phone to schedule appointments or handle any business. Cannot call office locations directly, must be a call center?

The doctors at this facility are fabulous. I've seen Dr. Pablan, Dr. Mahdavi and Dr. Rocha. I really like all 3 of them and am sorry that I probably won't be seeing them much longer because of the scheduling practices at this facility. On my last visit with Dr. Mahdavi, I made an appointment at the front desk with Dr. Rocha for my exam for my glasses. I specified that I would like the appointment to be with Dr. Rocha. The girl assured me my appointment was with Dr. Rocha. When I got the text to confirm the appointment, it was with another doctor. I called and explained that my appointment was supposed to be with Dr Rocha. They told me I could reschedule with Dr. Rocha, but that would push my appointment out another two weeks. I agreed to wait another two weeks because Dr. Rocha is worth waiting for. When I got the confirmation text, it was with another doctor. I called and I was told that if I wanted to see Dr. Rocha, I would have to make another appointment. I made another appointment another week or so out. He assured me my appointment was with Dr. Rocha and said he would note my account that I didn't want to be switched. I got my next confirmation text and it had no doctor listed this time. I called to verify my appointment and again, they had switched me to another doctor. Three times. Dr. Rocha was going to be there at the time of my appointment, but I couldn't see her because they had scheduled another appointment with her at that time. I asked why I was scheduled if she already had an appointment and got no answer. But I could reschedule a 4th time. Now I have to leave work early for my 4th appt. with this doctor. They couldn't explain why I keep getting switched. I asked to speak to a manager. I was on hold for 30 minutes before they took my call. Total time on the phone with them was 50 minutes. I spoke to Sheila who had no idea why I keep getting switched. All she could tell me was that my current appt was with Dr. Rocha and was there anything else she could do for me. I asked if this was the policy of the facility and she said no. I asked how I could be sure I won't be switched again. She said all she could tell me was that my current appt was with Dr Rocha. I asked if this could happen again and she said she couldn't predict the future. I asked her if switching people was not the policy, why couldn't she be sure it wouldn't happen again. She again said she can't predict the future and said if there wasn't anything else she could help me with to have a nice day. During the conversation she became a bit impatient reiterating that my appointment was currently with Dr. Rocha and didn't know what my question was. I indicated that if this keeps happening, I'm going to find a new facility. Though she didn't say so, her tone told me that was fine with her. If this is the facility's policy, fine. But they should be upfront so patients know what to expect and just deal with it. For this to keep happening over and over, but yet they deny it's their policy is not okay. This just adds to the conception already out there that medical groups in general couldn't care less about their patients. It's all about the money. We'll see if my 4th attempt to see Dr. Rocha works out.

Our first time meeting Dr. Brookman. He is a pleasant and professional doctor. All of his staff at the office carried his same sincere cadence and positivity. My mother was at ease while he explained the details of why we were here regarding her condition. My mother looks forward to further appointments with him.

Called to schedule a appointment for my husband. No body ever answers there phone. Tell me I am 1 in the queue then nothing. Anyone else have this problem. On the phone for over 15min 2 different times. I also sent a email with no response.

Office was very busy, front desk staff was ok. However, the person in the area where patients chose frames was rude & since there was a very limited amount of frames to chose from, she basically suggested to go elsewhere for frames & lens. Having vision insurance which would have cover cost for frames & lens we were told we should purchase somewhere else due to the very limited frame options! What a waste of our time! Also, it’s bad enough that office doesn’t open Saturdays! Very inconvenient!

My husband and I were seen by Optometrist Ledia Samwil today. She was very attentive, helpful and was patience with us which we really appreciated it. The staffs at the front were also helpful, friendly and answered all of our questions.

Told me to go to the wrong address and when I found that out, I got the actual location 5 mins late. Then they told me the doctor left. What a joke, told me doctor only gives you 5 mins grace period. I always have a problem everytime I come here. I will look into changing a different company.

Dr. Logan and staff are great but the logistics need improvement. It will take 3 separate office visits with 3 copayments prior actual surgery. I think one appointment should have covered all of it.

I brought my mom to her appointment today, and overall, it was a mixed experience. About 30 minutes before her scheduled time, she received a text message prompting her to check in and register her information. In my opinion, this notification should have been sent out earlier, preferably the day before her appointment. As her caregiver, having more time to prepare and gather all her medical history and necessary details would have made the process much smoother. On the brighter side, the staff at the facility was incredibly professional and genuinely helpful. They handled the check-in process efficiently despite the last-minute notification. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised by the ample free parking available, as they share the space with several other businesses, making access convenient. The waiting area itself was spacious, comfortably laid out, and very clean, which created a pleasant environment while we waited for her appointment. All in all, while the timing of the text message could definitely improve, the professionalism of the staff and the welcoming atmosphere were commendable.

Dr. Bertolucci is amazing! Caring , detailed and thorough. The office however is hard to get a hold of and when I went into a prior appointment (after driving 25 min to get there) they didn’t get authorization for me to come from my insurance. Very frustrating. The next visit I asked if they could ask for authorization 4 weeks early instead of 1-2 weeks as it takes a while with my insurance ,they said, "No we can’t do that." Poor customer service in that area. Took. an hour out of my day by the time I got back home.

Extremely professional, knowledgeable & will guide you through your eyes issues. My daughter who is a nurse recommended Fogg Remington when I asked her for an eye doctor. Excellent recommendation from her as they are guiding me through my journey dealing with glaucoma which they diagnosed me as having

I recently had a wonderful experience at Eye Medical Center. A special thank you to Chris, who helped me pick out my glasses. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and honest while helping me choose frames that looked good on me! Excellent customer service and care all around. I highly recommend Eye Medical Center to anyone looking for quality eye care ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dr Gaede had some big shoes to fill. My prior eye doctor was my awesome doctor of 25+years until she retired. I am SO lucky to have Dr Gaede to step seamlessly in. He is very experienced, knowledgeable and most importantly is communicative and clear in his answers to questions. Plus he he has a fun personality and puts you at ease. Not that I am nervous around an eye doctor but he’s genuinely a warm and caring doctor. I think if someone got bad news about their eyesight he would be very kind and straightforward in delivering the prognosis. I recommend him unreservedly. Great guy and even better doctor.

Everyone on the staff was exceptionally kind and knowledgeable. Dr. Kinney and his MA were wonderful. They made me feel seen and heard.

I have been seeing this doctor since 2018. He is a highly skilled, respectful specialist, and I feel like he is a friend. I also have great respect for his entire staff. Ahmed

Had a great eye exam by Dr Gaede and picked frames downstairs with the help of Dina..all the staff have great customer service skills

Friendly. Efficient front desk staff. The new office is spacious, modern and clean with a large waiting area. Got there early and was able to go in early and started being examined. Doctor yomtoob explained everything to me about results of my exams, I definitely felt i had a thorough check up and I was taken care of. Five Star Office. Thank you

My visit, for a cataract consultation, was an excellent experience, in all respects. Dr David Yomtoob conducted my examination and did so in a manner that gave me great confidence that I had come to the right place! I am most happy that he will conduct the cataract surgery when the time comes for that to be done. Moreover, his assistant, Kevin, who did all the setup for Dr Yomtoob's exam (eye drops for dilation & quite a lot of other stuff as well) was clearly experienced and did everything with ease & skill. I should also note that the 2 girls at the front desk were helpful, efficient, & very nice. As I say, the entire experience of the visit, from start to finish, was excellent. I'm actually looking forward to coming back! Aloha, Steve Yeaton

I’ve been coming here for around 5 years. I’ve always have been more than satisfied with everything. Dr. Yomtoob and Dr.Lang are the absolute best. Professional, courteous, and kind. Yesterday, I arrived to a new computerized sign in process, not very easy or friendly. Neither of the front women, even looked up or said hello. Not what I had always looked forward to. I was surprised and saddened. Part of the good experience is the way you are greeted. I’ll keep coming because the docs are so good, but I’m afraid the patient service at the beginning and end has changed and it’s not that great.

Nice, Cleaned & very well organized & great location. The front desk staff were excellent. The technician dealt professionally & the Dr. Kim listen & provides me the best options to treat my eye related issues like glaucoma & Cataract. She suggested the best Eye drops & how to use & when to use it. I will definitely recommend to my family & friends to this facility with any eye related issues. This location is beautiful, convenient. The staff members are very caring & helpful, Sharing out door pictures

Absolutely the most fabulous eye care I have ever had. Dr. Yomtoob and his staff are WONDERFUL! I am so grateful to have So Cal Eye Consultants on my personal health care list. I recommend them VERY HIGHLY!
