Our neighbors have rated us 4.9 out of 5 across 984 Google reviews — thank you, Fruitvale!
100% recommend. Everyone was kind and welcoming, from the front desk to the doctor who saw my mother. Grateful for the amazing service — we received her glasses within one week!
The best service I have ever received — for optometry, or perhaps anything really. Friendly, professional, and very reasonable.
The staff and doctor are very friendly and accommodating. They give clear explanations, both at your appointment and on the phone. Conveniently located right by BART.
They did an amazing job — helped me pick my frames and sorted out my insurance, and the doctor clearly explained my vision and how to manage it. Everyone was so welcoming!
