Pacific Eye Care

I’ve never had a better experience with optometry. Called for an appointment and was fit in the following week. Once I arrived and checked in, I was immediately escorted to the back to begin my exam. The doctor was very thorough and explained everything that was going on. She gave suggestions for corrective lenses and helped me select the best option for me.
Selecting glasses was a breeze and took less than 5-​minutes to find the perfect pair. The woman helping me select and measure for glasses was extremely helpful. She walked me through what to expect with my first pair of no-​line bifocals. Her suggestion to wear them all day for the first few days really helped me adjust to the new lenses.
I have been very pleased with follow up care and can’t wait for my next annual exam.

After my 1^st visit, they earned 5 stars. It was very convenient scheduling my appointment on line. The office was clean and the staff was friendly. Dr. Takeda took the time to listen to my concerns. I am so happy I found them!

I recently had my first visit here and I truly couldn’t be happier with this choice. They made everything simple and incredibly enjoyable for being at a doctors office. Everyone there is extremely pleasant and kind. All the procedures were explained to me so I understood everything they did and what they found. Selecting my glasses and finding how much they would cost was completely painless! (I’ve had some expensive trips from just being uninformed at other places). Nothing I love more than a simple and affordable eye check up in a very clean and friendly office.

Very happy with my experience!

Walter Yim and everyone at Pacific Eye Care provide the best service and care for my eyeballs!
I’ve been a patient here for around 2+ years now and every visit is a delight (as much as a visit to the optometrist can be, haha!) I can always ask Dr. Yim any question regarding my vision no matter how weird or far-​fetched it might seem in my head and he’ll always give you a sound, easy-​to-​understand explanation.
They have a great selection of eye wear there, too. Over the years, I’ve gotten contacts exams & contacts as well as 2 pairs of glasses from them! They’re really good at fitting/​sizing glasses and I have a weird shaped head so I really appreciate the effort they take to assist my needs. You won’t ever feel rushed or get products pushed on you here.
Their facility and entire shopping complex for that matter is clean and orderly with plenty of parking outside and places to sit inside. They even have a cute little toddler/​kids section which is a nice touch!
I used to get my glasses & contacts with Costco, JC Penny, & Lenscrafters, but after coming here, I’ll never go back — their customer service and quality care is just superior.

Dr. Tim, (from UCLA !) gave me a call, apologized for the miscommunication and all is well. I am hopeful that the front desk staff will begin to let patients know which benefits they can take advantage of and which ones aren’t available each visit. I have faith that my daughter will know exactly what we are paying for from now on! Thanks Pacific Eye Care! Great Customer Service rules the day :)

What s great place! That is something I never thought I would say about the eye doctor until. I came here. Everyone is so nice and they make sure you know exactly what they are doing in case you are scared. It was all in all EXCELLENT!!!

My husband and I just switched over to Dr. Yim and his staff. Great experience all around. Pleasant yet professional. Highly recommend.

I was referred here by a friend. Initially, I was really impressed by this place. Clean office, friendly staff, and thought Dr. Yim did a great job with my exam. The person who helped me pick out my glasses was really patient while I tried on pair after pair. My disappointment came after my visit. The Dr. had requested I return for a follow up for a concern with my eyes. The front desk said my insurance would not cover the cost of the follow up visit and they would get back to me on an out of pocket cost. They were also going to get back to me about an appointment time since my work schedule requires a later time for Dr. Visits. I returned a week later to pick up my glasses and inquired on the status of my follow up appointment since I had not heard anything. The person at the front desk could not find my information and said she would call or email me the next day to let me know what was going on. It has now been 3 weeks since I inquired about my follow up appointment and I still have not heard anything. I’m really shocked and disappointed that this place has dropped the ball on me. I understand it might take a while to find out information from insurance, but a phone call updating me on this would have been appreciated. I really wish I would have picked a place that values their patients health more.

Great experience! My baby scratched my eye (outer cornea to pupil — ouch!) and Pacific Eye Care and Dr. Yim were amazing. I could get a same day appointment and the entire staff was kind and efficient at getting me seen quickly to relieve the pain. Dr. Yim has such a great nature and was so calming about the whole experience I almost thought there wasn’t actually a sizeable scratch on my eyeball! Everything felt clean, neat and professional. The location isn’t very convenient for me long term (live and work closer to Irvine), but it is almost worth it to go the extra distance for the extra care and TLC provided by Dr. Yim and his staff.

A beautiful, clean facility with pleasant, positive staff. We have been seeing Dr Yim for a year and a half, and we’re very happy with his bedside manner, and his positive personality.
The equipment is clean, up-​to date, and they try to keep up with the latest technology. At this last appointment, I had to bring my 2 year old son with me, and they had a play area with toys for him to enjoy. He had a great time and the staff were very accommodating. They loved interacting with him and making us both feel very welcome.
Thank you Pacific Eye Care!

Dr. Kara Takeda is wonderful, if you are looking for an eye doctor look no further, she is very knowledgeable and conscientious! Dr. Takeda is located at Pacific Eye Care in Huntington Beach. This office has all of the latest equipment to do a complete eye exam, not only is Dr. Takeda great but the other staff members are helpful and very personable. I would highly recommend Pacific Eye Care and Dr. Takeda.

I have been attending Pacific Eye Care since I was a child (I am now in my 30s) and have always been impressed by their incredible care and service. You feel like family when you are here. Dr. Yim is wonderful! He takes his time during the exam, is very thorough, and answers all of my questions. I never feel like I’m being «sold» on anything with Pacific Eye Care and they always have my best interest at heart, making sure I receive the best care and recommendations. My entire family comes to Pacific Eye Care and we would never consider changing. Thank you for all you do!

If you want good eye services this is the place to go they have great frame selection staff is very friendly and helpful!

Dr. Kara Takeda is the best! (so great that I had to follow her from her other practice (Triangle eyecare). I’ve been her patient for 5 years and have never felt so comfortable with a doctor. She spends quality time with me and doesn’t make me feel like I’m just a patient. She makes getting your eyes examined enjoyable. I recommend her to allllll my family and friends. I Just Dr. Takeda! Make your appointment, you won’t be sorry. BTW the office staff is pretty awesome too!

This was my first experience with this office; going through a contact exam and a routine eye exam. I ended up purchasing some new glasses through them but I am hesitant to by the contact brand they recommended (pushed) me towards buying, which was ultimately which led me to never want to return.
My first visit was fine, I got in early and met with Dr. Jankowski who was pleasant and genuine. I ended up getting a trial of dailies before I left as the doctor told me, for my frequency of use that dailies would be a better option than bi-​weekly lenses. I liked this idea as I tend to wear contacts on the weekends mainly. Additionally, Laura (or Lauren) the tech that helped me go through the glasses and pricing options for my particular insurance policy was really helpful and kind.
The follow up wasn’t nearly as pleasant. I went in to have my follow-​up exam for the daily contacts to which I was given and let Dr. Jankowski know how irritated they had made my eyes; red, itchy, dry, etc. He didn’t seem to eager into finding me another brand or a better option and was much quicker and persistent that I take several steps toward making my eyes produce more mucous, which I was okay with. He said if that didn’t work I might have to take medication to make my eyes water more. WHAT!!! Now for the ordinary person this may not be a huge issue but I am very holistic and rarely, RARELY, take an aspirin or Tylenol. The mere mention of me needing to take a pill for my eyes to water was ludicrous when there are a plethora of available toric lenses offered (one even of the same brand and product which I was wearing, and happy with, just offered in a daily!) I didn’t see why simply ordering a trial of another brand might be a better option. I’m not an optometrist but I think there is probably a better option than pills??? So this is why I will not be returning to this office.
After my contact follow-​up I went with another tech to look at my new glasses. This tech was not nice and almost seemed annoyed that I was taking so much time inspecting my new glasses as I was contemplating a thinner lens choice. I’m sorry if you have better things to do with your time Ma’am but my purchase and visits are helping pay your salary but you need to be more attentive and kinder toward your patients, not a cold shrew shuttering to spend the time going over basic options… IT IS YOUR JOB. This tech seemed the least competent from the three that I dealt with and really agitated me.
Now I’m not «young» but I am under 35 and I can say that this is one of those scenarios which deter people from my generation from even going to doctors, of any sort. Keep this in mind as we are your future clients.
Don’t prescribe unnecessary medications.
Don’t make your patients feel unwelcome.
But did I mention the fantastic return policy? gag.

Dr. Yim and his staff are amazing very professional and personable. I will be recommending my family and friends to Dr. Yim.

I love this place. It’s refreshing to see that everyone else is giving this place stellar reviews. Dr. Yim is amazing; he is very friendly, and very easy to understand (I was a biology major in college, but I’d understand regardless). I’ve been coming here for a few years since I moved to Huntington, and I have never been to a better optometrist.
The staff is extremely friendly, I worked with Laura on my last visit. She was extremely helpful, and she was able to help me choose some stylish glasses that fit within my budget (and my insurance’s).
I haven’t won yet, but they have giveaways sometimes. Summer’s coming up? How about a pair of Ray-​Bans for some lucky person! I haven’t won, but I like the opportunity.
Last but not least, they are very technology-​oriented. I might not get around to my emails every day, but they allow you the option to receive text and/​or email alerts. Not only did my glasses come in earlier than expected, but I received a text message to let me know. They also send you a text for appointment reminders. I typically hate signing up for text or email alerts, but Pacific Eye Care doesn’t overdo it, so I’ll let them slide…
All the little things add up at this place, and I won’t be going anywhere else.

I came here after coming to the realization that playing the trombone should be left to musicians and not those of us who are having trouble reading things close-​up. I was looking for something a little more convenient than my current eye care spot, and liked what Unilocalers had to say. The staff here is very friendly, and they have established a professional and comfortable office atmosphere.
Everything was clearly explained from the pre-​tests to the exam and finally the new glasses that were required. I received a very thorough explanation of what is going on with my eyes, and had a couple of moments of, «Oh, that’s why that happens!» If you live in the HB area, I would definitely recommend Pacific Eye Care.

I had my first appointment at Pacific Eye Care on Saturday, and I am extremely happy to have found the office on Unilocal.Everyone I interacted with, either by phone or in person, was pleasant and willing to go out of their way to help me. Since it had been far too long since my last eye exam, I was pretty much starting from scratch. The office has all the latest technology, which meant for an additional $ 39, I didn’t even have to have my eyes dilated. Completely worth the cost, in my opinion.
Dr. Jankowski was very thorough and I didn’t feel rushed at all during my appointment. One of the office staff members even apologized that I had to wait five or ten minutes while the doctor finished up with his previous patient.
In short, I would definitely recommend this office, and I personally will not go anywhere else!
