Everything was done well!!

Everyone at your place is awesome! Thank you so very very much for all of your help! 🙏🏽💜🌺

I walked in just with the intention of doing an eye exam, and getting glasses at a later date. Though there was a glitch in the system, The Doctor (forgot his name -- from South Africa) had space to fit me in. He was great and very helpful and quick with the eye test -- explaining everything as we did it. While I was waiting after the pretest for the doctor, Jason immediately started assisting me in looking for glasses. Jason seemed to know what styles would look best on my face shape, what would compliment my features, while also allowing me to have some say in colors and designs of glasses. I was blown away with how good Jason was with choosing the glasses! I totally was not expecting that kind of above and beyond service. He explained everything I needed to know about the glasses, insurance coverage, and long term maintenance of the glasses. One of the pairs of glasses Jason picked out for me I immediately fell in love with and am SO excited to pick up in a couple weeks! I will definitely recommend this place to friends and family in the future because of the service I received today.

I enjoyed meeting everyone today. Excellent customer service. Very knowledgeable staff.

I really appreciated being questioned twice about the differences between lenses. Sometimes that’s the hardest thing to answer because it’s not always clear which lens is better. Knowing that I answered consistently a few times makes me feel more confident in my prescription.

I thought everyone was friendly and ready to help. My eye appt was great

Dr. Stephanie Krok is very proficient and extremely personable, a nice combination!

Great as always♥️

Thorough exam, worthwhile visit, great doctor, staff, opticians & stylists. Love going in.

Excellent customer service! Noel, your staff is wonderful, friendly and very helpful. Please let them know. Sincerely, Rickie-Ann

Great service, prompt clean and professional. Super great experience

From the moment I walked in the door I was served by a welcoming, courteous, knowledgeable team of professionals. Aside from the thorough exams/tests, they answered questions, gave me options, kept me informed, and did what they said they were going to do. Thank you, EyeQ team!

I have been coming to Eye Q for years. The entire staff is very friendly and professional. Dr. Shen explains everything in detail about the examination and results. I know my eyesight health is in good hands coming to Eye Q.

The doc is awesome, the guy that took care of me out front is like a stick where the sun doesn’t shine.

All the staff are so nice and Dr. Richter is thorough super informative. She made the whole visit smooth and relaxing

My wife and I both had consultations and again are very impressed with the quality of our eye exams and help in understanding how our eyes are performing. We really recommend eyeQ.

On time and efficient, but never felt rushed.

Thank you so very much for the excellent customer service! Your staff is above and beyond, for which I am so very grateful✨

Superb in every way! Dr. Noel answered ALL my numerous questions which practically drove him crazy I could tell. But not really. He was patient and thorough in every way. Thanks to him and all the staff and Happy New Year. Bernard Pregerson

Fast appointment and the doctor was very nice!

Everything was wonderful. Noel always impresses and the staff was wonderful. It was such a surprise to see Erin working there. She is to walk my dog years ago and I’ve known her at other places of work as well. I wish I would’ve got the name of the young woman who help me find my gorgeous new frames. She was fantastic too.

EyeQ is always a nice place to go when you need eye glasses or exam. Especial Jason, is going to help me to replace my one leg frame. Keep your awesome service!

I chose EyeQ for my eye exam and new glasses because of the wonderful job they did on my prescription sunglasses a few months ago. The eye exam was very meticulous, and I learned some new things about my (68-year old) eyes. I wish I could remember everyone’s names. They all deserve top points. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, everyone was friendly and very professional. I will certainly recommend EyeQ to my friends and I will be back soon. Thanks, Dave.

U guys are always very personable and very nice to do business with! Ho ho ho to you all and thank u.

Thanks for the great service I've come to expect from Eye-Q. Appreciate your attentiveness and care.

Very Grateful to Dr. Stephanie Krok! She gave my 90 year old mother who is diabetic a complete eye exam, looking for retinopathy or any other problems. Knowledgeable, professional, and kind! Dr. Stephanie is wonderful, she’s great, my favorite doctor....and now my mom’s too!! Thank you! Lisa and Betty

Really friendly and professionally helpful staff. Great selection of frames. Never feel rushed and am always satisfied with my prescriptions. Fun too.

As always my experience was wonderful. I’ve been an patient for 10 years now, and the staff knows me, the doctor is always professional but friendly, I feel seen, and after my visit I can see! What’s not to love?

Everything !

Everyone was very nice and professional. The doctor was right on time and graciously answered all of my questions.

Thanks for being the best optometrist I've had to date .. great service and ideal location !!

Nice place, great doctor, friendly staff.

Everyone great. Wonderful service. Great styling from David.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The doctor took the time to make sure all my questions were answered and made me feel like I was important in making decisions about by own vision care.

Great service as usual!

Thought everyone was great ! I don’t understand why it cost so much when my plan has gotten me more for my money in the past

Quick service, flexible options

Was seen on time and treated professionally. I feel very confident with my care under Dr Noel Krok. The office staff are helpful and positive.

Front end very smooth. Exam very thorough. Doc was very helpful. Thanks

Everyone was friendly and helpful. The doctor answered all my questions with patience.

The doc was super nice and informative! Everyone in the office was respectful and friendly. I usually do whatever is cheapest when it comes to medical care but I will always pay a bit more for the excellent care I receive at EyeQ over an online or over the phone ordering system.

Everyone at Eye-Q is pleasant and professional. Dr. Shen is one of my favorite health care providers & has been for years. I love the way he takes the time to be personable and thorough at the same time.

Dr Noel is a great doctor. Always has good suggestions for my eye health. I appreciate his helpful and friendly staff!

It’s always a thorough and professional visit with Dr. Krok. I enjoy coming!

Dr Shen is the best!!

Great company! Vcommitted to you personally and they make you fell like you are at home. Dr. Shen is patient, professional, and really helps you understand what he is doing for you at all times. I always feel good about the service I receive. Great care and exceptional service from everyone. Thank you! It is rare these days.

Check-in was quick and my wait for the eye tests was was very short. The wait for the doctor was also amazingly fast. For a new patient like me, it was FANTASTIC! The doctor was personable and thorough, and answered all my questions. And I ask a LOT of questions. My lenses were ready in less than the estimated time, so I couldn't be happier. This is the only optometrist office on the planet that offers weekend hours. I won't hesitate to refer people to this office.

Eye Q offers a tremendous variety of frames, particularly those that are fun, interesting, or a bit more artistically inspired and crafted. The doctors are top-notch thoughtful and thorough. The Opticians are well informed of their products and are excellent at helping a person choose a frames suitable for their face structure and personality. We have been pleased with IQ for more than 10 years!

Great glasses, David, good timing, David, really good eye doctor, and David.

I appreciated the time Dr Karol took with me. He gave me a lot of information and detail about my eyes. Everyone was very friendly, professional and efficient—much appreciated!

I love coming to see Dr Stephanie. She is so caring and careful. I totally trust her. All staff are caring, polite and know what they are doing. I highly recommend. I drive across town to come here.

Appreciated the thoroughness of the exam & attention given. You also have a great selection of frames!

Dr. Krok is always great, friendly, knowledgeable. I learn something new every time I see him. Love when Laura helps me choose my glasses but she had so many people today. Sam helped me and he is just as top notch as everyone there. I am very happy with the glasses he and I chose and Laura agreed! Thanks EyeQ!

Great group - highly recommend all of you !

Friendly, capable, efficient folks all around

Stafff is Nice courteous professional. Timely all good. Been going there for years. Dr Krok is very good.

Everyone was so patient and so nice and made it a much more pleasant and anxiety/anxious visit, much less nervous as well. And much more comfortable. Above and beyond taking so much time going over things with me as well as the time taken to look at many frames. I would like to apologize for not making a decision on the frames just yet because I was getting worn out and overwhelmed, especially since I had been there since noon.. So I apologize for taking up Sams’ time for so long w/o being able to make a decision. Thank you all for everything including speaking with some of you on the phone. You all are awesome and it felt so genuine when I would ask a question or an opinion on the various glasses. Thank you for making it so pleasant to me and like I mattered. You went above and beyond and I sincerely hope your management, bosses, owners know and can be confident in the fact they have a first rate team and that they can feel good knowing the kind of people you are and they can feel very proud of their team and who they have hired. Thank you Dr. Rickter and everyone else that helped me.

Great

I keep coming back to EyeQ because of the quality if service and exams! The staff knows me and my preferences. They are always super helpful. Doctor is always willing to take time discussing my prescription options and recommending medications for my allergy eyes. I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else.

Great doctors and staff. All are always generous with their time and expertise. Most importantly the good care and welcoming atmosphere is genuine. Thanks much, Scott

Thanks for the nice experience and thank you also for fixing my old glasses. 😊

Doctor is amazing, staff are so kind.

Walking into EyeQ is like walking into a room full of old friends. Dr. Shen is the best. Very personable, passionate about what he does. Explains everything concerning my eyes in great, easy to understand detail. I always feel like he’s taken the time necessary to make sure I’m comfortable and informed on my eye health. A very comfortable office!

Dr. Noel was very thorough in his examination of me as a new patient. Jason has been terrific in helping me find frames that suit me, and in providing great customer service on an on-going basis. Also, Sam (who helped me find my first pair of glasses) also has provided great customer service to me. This is why I continue to return for glasses, and refer friends to EyeQ as well.

Amazing experience! Very thorough.

Treated w kindness and respect by all members of the staff, as always. Grateful for the high level of expertise, attention to detail and clear explanations Dr Stephanie provides. As a bonus, her son stopped in during my visit. Thanks Eye Q!

Doctor and office staff were professional, pleasant, knowledgeable, and efficient.

The doctor and the staff were very helpful. They spent lots of time to make sure I was happy and had the right fit. Highly recommend them.

Everyone is awesome! Dr. Stephanie is patient, and listens to any questions or concerns!

Excellent optometry office. Dr Shen and Laura are the best!

Dr Stephanie was extremely knowledgeable, as well as kind. Her manner helped me feel more comfortable and less anxious. She answered all of my questions and made sure I understood that I had options. The optician was awesome too! The entire staff was wonderful. It was my first time having an extensive eye exam and I will definitely go back to Eye Q.

Good, competent service. Nice polite folks.

Great staff and very friendly. Love this place

It is always a pleasure to come into eyeQ, whether it's for an eye exam and new glasses or to get my glasses adjusted. Everyone is so friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and welcoming. Thank you!

I reliably have an exquisite experience. The staff is very skilled, personable and I appreciate the design of the frames you offer.

Outstanding service and exam. The equipment and frames are state of the art, and the place is beautifully designed. My optometrist gave me a great tour of my eyes using images taken as part of the exam. Highly recommend!

Great service, professional and kind. David made my choice in frames easy and was helpful and honest with his feedback. The Dr. was kind, explained thoroughly everything to me about my exam and my vision and I felt very comfortable. I am looking forward to getting my new glasses.

Doctor was very thorough, kind and explained everything, He takes a lot of time with you as much time as you need and you don’t feel rushed you feel that he really cares and is very knowledgeableI. I always have a wonderful experience with both the docs there ( the married docs, I just can’t think of the names right off).

Customer service is awesome across the board! Everyone I interacted with, including the front desk attendant, the eye doc, and the glasses fitting person was great.

Always professional and extremely helpful

I trust Dr. Noel - My first Visit was informative. Other doctors had tested my eyes said they were good and sent me on my way. Noel explains what's going on with my eyes and I appreciate the tips. The office is always busy and the staff extremely pleasant.

Dr. Krok & Dr. Krok are both great. I trust them both with my eyes! Happy to have 2 good choices in one practice.

Very helpful, prompt appointment scheduling, and kind staff!

Dr Stephanie did a very thorough eye examination and explains each step and results I never felt rushed Laura is the best at finding the right style and knowledgeable about insurance coverage. I’ve been going to EyeQ for 17 years. They are the best!!!

Always fabulous and highly professional care

Great service always! Dr. Stephanie is fantastic

This place has great service. I’ve seen Dr. Shen twice and every time he’s very detailed and takes his time with his patients. He explains concepts in a very easy way. The person that helped me choose my glasses frame and lens was very helpful. Definitely recommend this place!

Everything was fine, except when I left, I forgot to ask for my prescriptions for new lenses. I phoned your office and they said they'll mail me them. I think the fact that Stephanie was focused on making me one more appointment might have overshadowed the new prescriptions.

I didn't have to wait. People were friendly. I was informed about what the testing was for before I met with Optometrist. I like Dr Shen. He is thorough, polite, explains what he is doing and why. Also was familiar with what my insurance covered I have seen him for several years and seems to enjoy what he does and the company he works for. The receptionists were professional and offered to arrange to fit my glasses. When I asked to see Laura they let me know what days she is available. I was done in an hour. Plan on scheduling my yearly appt next year. Thank you Dr DeAntoni

The office was very accomodating, in spite of me coming 15 mn late due to traffic. Dr. Shen was still thorough with the examination, checking out relatively minor symptoms.

5 star service. Everyone was so gracious and helpful.

Very efficient, I spent very little time waiting. Each step in the process was thoroughly explained

The doctor was very good and the person who helped me pick my glasses wss very kind.

I’m a long-term patient of Eye-Q and keep coming back because of the lovely care I receive from the front desk staff, the back staff, the optometrists and especially Dr. Stephanie Krok. I never feel rushed and appreciate the very thorough testing every year.

Your staff is the best! Thanks so much for helping me pick out AFFORDABLE frames!! Can’t wait to get them in two weeks! I’d recommend EyeQ to any and everyone...

The young man who works in sales straighten my eyeglass frame and cleaned my glasses perfectly.

Dr. Noel was very thorough and patient in answering all my questions and concerns during my exam, much appreciated!

Great check up doctor found some important changes that will improve my vision and love the eye glass selection -thank you

I have been coming here for years and can only say great things about Eye Q. Excellent staff and wonderful selection of frames.

Thank you Danny for your attention to detail and a great visit. Everyone who works at EyeQ is professional and so helpful!

Although this was the first appointment of my adult life, I cannot imagine receiving better care from any other place than Eye Q. I specifically appreciate the warm welcome I received from Aaron Little when I first inquired. I had no idea how to go about receiving a consult and Aaron made me feel valued from the moment I walked in. I also appreciate the 100% honesty I was given by everyone I spoke with. Out of 5 stars, I give 6. Love, Andrew

Excellent, professional eye care and service for prescription eye glasses and contact lenses.

Everyone was very attentive and friendly... My wife and I have been going there for a very long time and I think it’s the best it’s ever been.

My daughter and I had a very positive experience. Thank you 😊

I love Dr Stephanie. Keep driving downtown each year through traffic for my annual eye exam with her because she is so sweet, kind, caring and veryprofessional. She referred me to an Ophthalmologist to check something she saw. He concerred that she was “right -on” and scheduled laser surgery to prevent “sudden onset glaucoma” for which I’m eternally grateful. Thank you Dr Krok.

I’ll be raving about my experience at EyeQ Quality individualized care Efficient Professional service. Competent & patient Dr, technician, & office staff. All this, plus the amazingly convenience of weekend appointments!!! Eye Q: A good choice!

Best place in town

Everything was perfect, I’m a great fan of Eye Q ♥️

I had a great experience today at eye Q. Dr. Krok was very thorough and kind. She explained the process to me very well and helped me understand everything that was happening. I was especially impressed with the woman who helped me with my glasses (I can't remember her name but she has brown hair and glasses and was working Wednesday). I actually enjoyed the experience of trying on glasses, a process I usually don't like. She was helpful, honest and really made my experience awesome. Thank you!

Welcoming, helpful staff. Dr. Chen thorough, informative, also helpful.

Well I'd have to say everything! From the people that you meet at the front desk to the assistant to the optometrist to the optometrist themself it all works and I appreciate feeling that my eyes are being cared for thoroughly.

Relaxed and professional. Perfect

I am so appreciative of Dr. Stephanie Krok for her thoroughness, conscientious care, and profession but also very congenial manner. I have been going to eyeQ for some years now and have been very happy with the treatment I've received. I recently had an appointment on Sunday afternoon, which was very convenient. The representatives at the front desk are efficient and friendly. Thank you!

Very professional and friendly staff!!!

Kept adjusting my new eye glasses until they where perfect! Super happy with David and Dr Shen that helped me out today!! I really appreciate the customer service at EyeQ, and that is why I keep coming back!!

Super professional On time Just the right amount of personal

I drive over from San Jose to come to the Santa Cruz location because the doctors and service is really great! Very highly recommended! Thanks for providing a great experience!

Everyone and everything was fantastic as always!! You all are the best ever!! I can’t wait for my office glasses! Thank you so much! Corbin

Wonderful, professional and personal health care

I have been going to eyeQ for several years now and it is always a great experience. All the staff is friendly and helpful. Love seeing Noel and I think he does a great job. Very professional but also very personable. Plus you have a great selection of frames to choose from.

As Always. Dr/ Shen was very thorough, professional, and "tolerated" my Santa Cruz sense of humor. I have felt well served by EyeQ

The Eye Q Staff was extremely helpful when I needed an emergency appointment when I lost my glasses. I normally see Dr Noel and to due to the need to be seen by Dr Shin. His conscious exam was thoughtful and caring. I have been a patient at Eye Q for several decades and I appreciate their stellar service to be my partner in maintaining high quality vision health.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I felt like all of my questions were answered without feeling rushed. Thanks!

You do everything well! Have been a Dr Noel patient from back in the days when he was working in a different optometry office owned by someone else. He’s thorough & the office has a machine that eliminates the need for dilation which I appreciate. His optician, Laura, knows what frames I’ll look best in. There are other opticians that I just haven’t tried— in the same as well as other optometrists. Just haven’t ventured out of my comfort zone of familiarity.

Great service, very attentive employees.

All staff are welcoming and friendly. Everything runs on time and visits feel thorough. Thanks for the care!

Eye Q does everything well. Great Docs who spent a lot of time with you, excellent & caring support staff, & large selection of stylish & practical frames to choose from. Thanks!

My very first visit and loved it!! Will come back over and over again as time goes by for all my eyesight needs. Noel was tremendous; loved his "bedside manner," his attentive care, and knowledge. The front staff were excellent also making me feel welcome and guiding me seamlessly through all of the paperwork, insurance coverage, and frames choice. Thanks to all for a great visit! - Donal Murphy

I had another wonderful experience with EyeQ! Ive been a satisfied customer for years and today they r

Dr Stephanie Kroc is kind, friendly and professional. The office is great. Helpful and efficient.

The optometrist was extremely knowledgeable in his area of expertise. I appreciate his insightful questions and the constant knowing of what was coming next. The rest of the staff was also very helpful. They not only helped me with the process of my visit but they made the actual ordering process quite painless.

It’s always a pleasure to come into Eye Q. The entire staff is super friendly and makes me feel welcome the moment I walk in. I’ve been going for years and the place always feels like I’m stopping by to chat with friends. The entire staff is always positive and engaged. It’s just a great experience every time.

Well it’s always a treat to see David. I liked my interaction with Daniel. Didn’t feel like a ‘doctors’ appointment

Everyone I saw there was really nice and quite professional, even when they were a little blurry. Thanks to them I’m seeing quite well now.

Great receptionists. Quick service. Optometrist was informative and kind.

Quick and professional. Highly recommended.

I appreciate tremendously Dr. Noel's expert, thorough attention -- not to mention ease with patients and always scintillating conversation. Staff are very kind -- always a plus

Very warm and proffessional staff and optomotrist.

You were ready for me right away, Dr. Shen was extremely helpful and kind, and everyone helped me pick out lenses in like 5 minutes! I was in and out in just under an hour and felt very well taken care of. Thank you for making it a great experience!

Appointment started on time. Dr. Shen is very knowledgeable, explains the exam and my vision needs clearly. Friendly and professional. Listens. Optical staff were professional and friendly.

thanks so much. i totally appreciatte dr noel’s kindness and dedication, and patience. i could not ask for better care. many blessings david

Super courteous and professional service! Also amazing frame selection. Highly recommended!

Personable and thorough!

All very friendly and always excited to come!

Thanks! Great Service as always

My entire experience with Eye Q and the entire staff was 10 out of 10. Personal, Positive, Professional and Informative. Nice, Easy, Efficient. Thank you !

Laurie was very knowledgeable and helped me out a lot. Looking for that just fitting well glasses. I’ve never had real glasses so it was a big deal to me and she was a trooper I tried on a lot of styles. All in all a very good experience. When I picked up my glasses. I wasn’t too impress with the man who helped me. He didn’t even clean my glasses off and tried to bend the ends of frame attached to the lens to bend them ? I’m like I thought he might break them. Not using heat or anything. I didn’t understand why he did that. Anyway I had to have them adjusted at costco a few days later. They kept falling down in my face and I couldn’t read right. Also I thought having such large glasses the reading area would be a little larger. But I’m adjusting to them. Thanks you

Thank you, great experience from the exam to the help selecting my frames!

You were on schedule, used high end equipment, and David was both a great person and an expert optometrist. Your staff was also professional and helpful. Thanks! Dave Wood

Super service. The best

Always a good experience when I visit., great employees.

Dr. Shen is excellent with patients and the whole EyeQ staff is very friendly and always helpful.

We didn't have to wait for anything, even the portion where I pick my glasses. Dr. Stephanie Krok was excellent with my children, as was Julia.

Love EyeQ! Dr. Chen is super nice and very good at his job. The staff is friendly and their frame selection suits my style!

Wonderful staff, lovely office. Thank you!

The staff and doctors at EyeQ are excellent. Very thoughtful. Very competent and helpful. They listen and make every effort to answer questions and to solve any issues. My first go-to place for any eye questions. Excellent referrals.

Everyone is so friendly, professional, knowledgeable. I always feel welcome and get my questions answered.

Customer centered care with a care team that is high quality and knowledgeable. I’ve been coming here for 16 years. I won’t go anywhere else.

Friendly, professional staff. Dr Noel Krok is very personable and really listens. He is meticulous and never seems to rush. Always a good experience.

Nice office,very friendly staff.

Booking was speedy and very easy and everyone was very friendly!!

Great Docs and Staff!!

Excellent....Stephanie is very thorough and Laura is a great help picking out glasses. Wonderful place!

Knowledgeable and kind. Never feel rushed.

EyeQ's whimsical name is a good fit for this oasis of quiet, friendly, competent vision care in Santa Cruz. Complementing its state of the art optometry, all staff,at every level are kind, patient, cheerful,knowledgeable, and clear in their explanations. Good team work is evident. Santa Cruz is fortunate to have EyeQ.

Noel was very informative and patient with explaining all the options available to meld into my style and help me make an informed decision. Though professional he was able to maintain a casual and friendly experience and send me to Tony also relaxed and knowledgeable..I look forward to completing the work done...

Everything!

Timely. Dr and staff are competent and friendly. The facility is clean and pleasing.

Organized. Professional, high standards+ friendly, easy-going. Very pleasant experience!

That was the best experience I've had at an optomotrist. Thanks!

Always friendly and helpful.

I was seen on time, and received a very thorough eye exam. Dr. Stephanie Krok was very kind and patient with me in doing the exam, since I am not comfortable with anything close to my eyes. I also liked that I was given an alternative to having my eyes dilated. Appts are easy to schedule. I have already referred my daughter and son-in-law here and they were equally satisfied. Thanks!

I always appreciate the time the doctor and the stylist spends with me. Everyone is kind and patient and I feel like I am their priority.

The exam/lens fitting was great, Doctor was very helpful & knowledgeable.

Everyone was very kind, engaging, and knowledgeable. Great experience.

Friendly and efficient people who are easy to work with.😃

The service was excellent. I got into see the doctor right on time, and she was competent and efficient. Pricing for the contact lenses was very competitive, and the staff was quite responsive in ensuring I get the contacts when I need them

The office and staff were all remarkable! Very friendly and helpful and everyone looked like they truly enjoyed being there. Great experience and Dr. Kock was fabulous ☺️

Everyone is always very friendly! Dr. Stephanie is wonderful and makes sure you understand what is going on during the exam and why they test for certain things. Their selection of frames is great and come in fast.

The doctor was courteous and professional, and she answered all my questions. The staff was a joy to be around. You all are doing a great job!

Great place for an exam. Choice of eye wear is exceptional for sunglasses or for everyday regular glasses. Very helpful staff.

Everything was great!

Great doctors and staff. High quality glasses with excellent service after the sale, such as for scratched lenses. Highly recommended.

On time, friendly, not rushed. Dr. Explained anything I was not clear on. Incredibly helpful and patient staff when selecting frames. Love that you all are open on weekends! This is a huge bonus for me given my work schedule.

Quick. Easy. Good peeps. Thx.

Office staff was great at dealing with a flood of customers.

I was running late for the appointment and the office staff was gracious.

Everything. The reception staff was pleasant and efficient. The optometrist was knowledgable and made an obvious attempt to communicate about choices and alternatives. The oculist (I'm not sure if that's the right term) was good in all the same ways.

Dr. Shen is terrific.

The exam was the most extensive one I have ever received. The doctor was very thorough, and the reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Thank you

This was my first visit with Dr. Richter. She was very knowledgeable and pleasant and took time to answer my questions and help with some decisions. The front office staff was professional and courteous and your clients are great!

Just great testing and conversational full information that I needed. Thank you.

Fast, friendly, knowledgeable, professional.

Very welcoming and helpful. Genuinely felt like they care

Friendly, knowledgeable, and personable doctor. Extremely competent and upbeat staff.

Everyone was super professional and I would highly recommend a stop by since they have a nice selection of frames.

Everyone was great. Thanks

I love it, always a warm greeting, knowledgeable, and professional... Thank you

El doctor chain me tratĂł muy bien, y todos fueron muy amables.

Always great service! And really nice people! Even though I moved out of state, I will still have my eyes checked out here when I’m visiting.

Very thorough and friendly.

Doctor is very thorough and friendly. Staff is very helpful and friendly.

My first visit. Very positive impression overall. Great location, nice ambiance, a friendly atmosphere with a "community" feel. While busy, one does not feel left out. Rather the vibrant feel gives confidence that people have voted with their feet to the service at EyeQ. Efficient front end and great/ample time with the doctor. Thanks.

I’ve been a patient since 2004. The staff is great, professional and helpful. Keep up the great work!

I have been seeing "Dr. Stephanie" for about 10 years now and she's always professional and friendly while making sure I understand everything. The front office staff is prompt and courteous and the make sure everything goes smoothly, from setting up the appointment to billing my insurance. Kudos to the whole crew from this happy customer.

Very friendly service and staff, and very in and out visit

Excellent service! Friendly staff, I have already recommended several co-workers.

Amazingly friendly staff, no waiting.... Doctor very attentive and informative... would recommend to all! Thank you!

Friendly service!

Friendly professional group always a pleasure

Awesome service by everyone!

I felt well taken care of. Everything was explained including procedures and results. I was fitted by a lady who really knew her stuff and made searching for glasses fun. Thank you!

Modern office, great staff and docs. A ton of selection and honest advice about what looks good and fits. Amazingly my new glasses made me look like a 22 year old Tom Cruz!

Dr When is great. He is both friendly and informative. He even answers all questions which allows me to make better decissions with regard to my eye health. The staff is very friendly and eager to make your visit the best experience.

Dr. Noel is great at explaining everything and keeping the mood light and easy. Love seeing him!

Excellent frames, exam experience, glasses fitting and advice.

Excellent !

Thank you

I loved having help choosing frames, the ones chosen for me were perfect and I had a lot of choices. My doctor was friendly and made me feel comfortable, he was clearly extremely experienced and knowledgeable.

Easiest eye exam I ever had! The process was quick and everyone was so nice. Highly recommend!

The best eye exam I've ever had, and I've been wearing glasses or contacts for nearly 25 years. All costs were explained up front with options as they related to my insurance, there was an excellent selection of frames and Dr Richter took the time to thoroughly investigate the issue I brought and find solutions. Thanks!

Thank you for the service.

The workers were very friendly and thorough in answering all of my questions and helping me save money (which is very important as I am a college student). My appointment began right on time and they didn't make me feel rushed at all which was really nice. :-)

Amazing service. Great people.

Call. Make an appointment. And you'll get taken care of in no time. I went in, filed out my paper work very easily and they proceeded to do everything they needed to do in an efficient manner. The clerks are extremely approachable and the eye experts know what they're doing.

Always professional Always thorough. My eye exams have always been thorough and I leave feeling more confident about the state of my vision. Since I have had issues since I was a toddler it's a big deal to me. Dr. Shen provides an excellent eye exam and discusses the results with me in a thoughtful and thorough way.

Excellent attention and care, as always. Dr Noel is professional, but also accessible enough to answer questions and take the time to explain anything, from procedure to different solutions and outcomes. Staff is always friendly and helpful.

Thank you for being so competent and also so kind to my dad !
