WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY

“

"As an eyewear sales rep, I occasionally drop into Chen Family Eyecare. The Optician, Aixa, is always incredibly kind and has such a great spirit. I would absolutely love her as my Optician!"

Jaron S.

"Wonderful, efficient and friendly eye glass shop.!!"​​​​​​​

Chuck T.

"Great experience. Friendly and relaxed place to get your eyes checked"​​​​​​​

Daniel H.

"Dr. Chen is so patient, empathetic, and detail-oriented. She looks at your overall eye health, not just whatever it takes to give you a new prescription. She explains all the types of exams she walked through and her findings without jargon and in a manner that is intelligible to someone who doesn't know optometry. Aixa is also really great at what she does. She knows insurance and contact lens rebates like the back of her hand and she kindly tightened and cleaned my current glasses without me asking and helped me redo a charge after I used the wrong credit card. I'm definitely going to be a long-term patient with Chen Family EyeCare!"

Victoria M.

"Love this place! Dr. Chen is so nice and helpful - she took the time to explain various parts of the exam & results to me so I understood completely. Aixa also helped me pick a great new pair of eyeglasses. You can tell they really care about their patients and want the best! So lucky I found this place!"
