Michael Kiyomoto,OD

Dr. Kiyomoto and his assistant are great. I have probably had a dozen people give me eye exams in my life. He is the best — thorough and explains things carefully and appropriately. His assistant is also friendly and efficient. The waiting room is comfortable and I have never had to spend more than 5 minutes there.

Dr. Kiyomoto has always given my family and I the «ULTIMATE» customer service and he takes the eye examination to another level (a 5 STAR level), he makes time to give you a
full explanation of every test performed, he is also very patient and will advise you how to
take care of your eyes. You WILL be treated like FAMILY…

I felt very comfortable, he answered all of my questions, and asked important questions about my eyesight.
he did a very thorough exam, my eyes had gotten worse, and got me all set for my new glasses which I pick up soon!
he even helped me pick out a nice budget frame, HE did this, not anyone else.
it was like going to an old fashioned (in a good way) appnt., where the Dr. is really caring.
I am beyond impressed. if there were 10 stars I would give them.
he and his wife (?) and/​or receptionist are awesome.
I have various allergies and since there was no perfume or scented things floating around the office I could actually breathe well during the session, which is not often or always the case in medical settings.
Now if a big corporation like Sutter health could only match this Dr’s expertise, wonderful manner and gentle approach, I could actually access more health care.
I loved the laid back feeling of the place, affordability, and expert care. it’s not a fancy place but I feel more comfortable in settings like this, very home — like and normal. And I loved that there are not these huge cases upon cases of designer glasses. There are many nice frames to chose from, and the budget line looks more expensive than it is.
I guess this is the working class place to go, if you are not looking for a super slick, expensive designer scene, but some real good care and wonderful selection of affordable frames.
You can tell the guy is independent and not working for a corporation like Kaiser or Sutter.
Thank you!!!

Dr. Kiyomoto is efficient and thorough when conducting eye exams. He does a great job of explaining exam results and advising you on how to care for your eyes. The scheduling in his office is on point, as my appointment started on time. The only drawback (if it counts as one) to his practice: the office décor could use some updating… but if you’re looking for a quality doctor and not a showplace — Dr. Kiyomoto fits the bill.

Great guy, great service. He is very very thorough so plan to spend lots of time for your appointment. The selection of glasses is nice but not overwhelming and his assistant is super sweet.
It’s certainly not a fancy office but I’ll be back, love the service here.

Dr. Kiyomoto is the best doctor I have ever met except my dad:). He is super patient. He makes sure everything is clear. He even explains the details that he does not have to. I would definitely go back again. If you are looking for a optometrist, he is the one you definitely does not want to miss!

Excellent, thorough exam. The Doctor takes his time and explains everything well. Highly recommended.

Michael listened to exactly my distance and work needs and fulfilled them. A true pro!

Very nice people. The women at the front desk (I forget her name) is super sweet and helpful. Dr. K is really nice, thorough, and really knows what he’s doing. I got a new pair of glasses with a new prescription. They also had my old frames, that broke, replaced for only $ 25 so I could have a backup pair. Can’t ask for better. Highly recommended!

I’ve been going to Dr. Kiyamoto for several years. He gives a very thorough exam, the most thorough I’ve ever had, and he takes the time to answer questions and explain what’s going on with my eyes. His office is also very helpful in dealing with my insurance. I never have to wait, and the location is super-​convenient.

I’ve been into the office a few times for appointments and general advice and left every time very satisfied. The business is family-​run and not out to take your money; Dr. Kiyomoto and his girlfriend are very nice people who (as others have said) genuinely care about your interests and needs.
I’d gladly recommend this office to anyone in need and will continue using it as my primary optometrist.

Wow, this place is amazing. Such a rarity in these times. The place has an old-​fashioned feel, but he is up to date in his practice and technology, so don’t fear. The guy is the most honest, humble, kind and dedicated dude. He truly loves what he does. He explains everything. Thus, the visit was a little longer than I expected — I had to run and put money in the meter a couple times — but, so what, he was thorough and professional. They don’t have the biggest selection of glasses, but they have some basic stuff and the doc’s wife was so nice and capable of helping me pick out some solid frames. And, NO UPSELLING! They are so honest and fair and caring. Often Optometrist offices make me feel like I’m buying or leasing a car. Not here my friend — so straight ahead, competent and honest folks at your service.

I feel like I should write a followup review since the service here is so great! I left my glasses with Dr. Kiyomoto to get new lenses for it and ordered contacts as well. However, I decided to change my lenses order a couple of days later from poly to high index, so I gave the receptionist a call and she called the lab to tell them. When I went to pick everything up a few days later the receptionist not only gave me a discount, but also decided not to charge me for the high index upgrade. Thanks again for that! I’ll definitely be coming back here for my next checkup.

I’ve had vision correction for 15 years, and my exam with Dr. Kiyomoto today was the most comprehensive and educational eye examination I’ve ever had. I feel fully confident and informed about every aspect of my vision health after this visit. Whenever I go to a doctor, I usually ask lots of questions, and generally want to be an informed advocate for my health, just in case I’m ever left to my own devices. Dr. Kiyomoto answered all my questions before I even asked them, and taught me many things about vision that I did not know before. He is so knowledgeable and personable, I am grateful to have experienced such a high caliber of professionalism such as his.

They are really great, so very helpful & excellent Customer Service. This has been the best experience that I’ve had going to an Optometrist in many years.

Dr. Kiyomoto is the man. He knows what he is talking about and takes time to make sure that the glasses are perfect for what you need. Can’t ask for anything more. The man is a pro.
By the way, about the only thing that you may complain about is the awning for his office. A little weathered.

Doc is very honest and he seems like he genuinely cares about you. In a world where optometrists are being more money driven, he seems to be a guy who looks out for the well being of his patients. I highly recommend!
It doesn’t look like much on the outside and I was surprised to see that it’s a nice office on the inside.

BEST OPTOMETRIST EVER!
I have been going to the optometrist since I was 7 years old and never have I had such a through and comprehensive exam until Dr. Kiyomoto. He is extremely knowledgeable and also very friendly and personable. He genuinely cares for his patients and takes the time to explain any questions and concerns. Dr. Kiyomoto possesses the experience and dedication that makes one a truly excellent physician.
I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend Dr. Kiyomoto for everyone!

Wow. I went to this office for an eye exam, strictly based on the reviews I’d read on Unilocal.I am happy to report that everything that previous reviewers have said is true!
Overall, this was a very satisfying and pleasant experience. Dr. Kiyomoto conducts his exams in a way that is fully engaged with the patient, and with the level of enthusiasm of someone performing an eye exam for the very first time. Very helpful; very kind.
For the most part, this type of medical practice has sadly fallen by the wayside; avail yourself of it while you can!

I’ve been going to Dr. Kiyomoto for about 10 years. Patient, kind, concerned and the most useful adjectives DETAILED and THOROUGH. He takes you through a series of test with several different machines and tools. He asks questions about your eye sight.
He’s very good. I agree with the other reviewer with «old fashioned». He seems a throwback to another time when family doctors really cared about you.
