I've been going to Jennifer's Optometry for the last 20+ years. The staff has always been great with helping get the right pair of glasses style to match what I'm looking for. The team is well informed and very professional. During Covid they've got great covid procedures to keep both their staff and customer safe.

Doctor`s Very efficient and staff is very friendly. would definitely come back and recommend to my friends and family

I brought my 5 year old hoping this office would accommodate her. The staff and Dr were very friendly and patient with my daughter. My daughter will now need to wear glasses. Thankful Dr wants to do a follow up appt to make sure her prescription is as accurate as possible. I plan to bring my other children now

Dr. Kao is a very thorough optometrist who remembers and knows her patients well. She's an expert in a lot of specialty areas, like the gas permeable hard contacts for vision correction, and she does a lot of co management with ophthalmologists for LASIK, cataracts, etc.   Her associates are younger but also very knowledgeable, and I think they're usually all from UC Berkeley optometry.There's a huge selection of sunglasses and frames at a lower markup than many other optometrists, and she has everything from Fendi to Kate Spade to Juicy to Armani.Be warned - if you want an appointment with Dr. Kao specifically, you'll have to call pretty far in advance, especially for those Saturday appointments.  Try the waitlist, too, as that moves sometimes and you may be able to get something earlier.

I went there last Saturday. OD is efficient. And glasses price are pretty affordable. With the VSP plan, my wife and I used $73 to get 2 pair of glasses(with frame and glass).

This is the newer office. Place is fine.

This was my first time experience so I wanted to like this place but so far just so so.Actually, Dr. Kao looks so kind and nice but except for that, the other things were not that great.The cost or prices are at a little bit higher end and sometimes, I felt the customer support is not well organized. Sometimes, they have called or texted me more than 3 times just to confirm appointment time for example, however, they did not notify me even when I was waiting for my new ones long time although they have them on hands already

The environment of new office is better than before. A good place for people who speak Chinese.

I took my niece in to see Dr. Kao. We had a below-average experience. Dr. Kao was being extremely concise in her explanation, as she might had other pantients to take care of. My niece did not like the doctor either, as the way she talked to my niece was way too blunt (It almost felt like the doctor was blaming her). In summary, I believe each patient should get the deserved attention from the doctor, which we did not get from Dr. Kao.

I went to dr Kao for yearly regular eye exam. Dr Kao may be a good doctor, but I feel she is very greedy.  The contact lens she sell in her office are much more expensive than if you buy outside. She will also try to sell you vitamin for eyes and suggest you to do extra exams which are not covered by insurance. I am looking for another doctor that care more about the patients than money.
