Tri Valley Optometry Group

Dr. Jim goes the extra mile for his patients. Everyone is friendly and helpful. He’s been my optometrist for over 20 years and is the best I’ve ever been to.

This is a great group. I have been coming here since I was 5, so 31 years. They remember you and your family and genuinely care. No rush at all. Time is taken to conduct a thorough examination. The staff is very friendly and patient. I have been to other optometrists in the past and you wait forever and then rushed, through. Not here. I’m glad I’m back!

I had been dreading going to the optometrist for over 2 years because I found myself going to an office filled with disgruntled workers and not so friendly optometrists. I used to love going every year for contact lenses renewals and updating my frames. Thank goodness for Tri Valley! What a difference when you find an office that is actually friendly and professional.

Everyone from the front desk to the doctor himself is amazing! My whole family and I have been coming here for years. I have never had a bad experience and wouldn’t trust anyone else with my eye care!

My husband and I have tried a couple of other eye doctors, they’ve been ok, but we’ve always felt rushed and not thoroughly satisfied with the exam as well as operation of their practice. After going to Dr. Volponi, I felt this was the best eye exam I had ever had. He took his time to not just fit with proper lenses, but to also look at my medical history, addressing a few issues.
I highly recommend Dr Volponi, he and his staff are very caring and as professional as can be.

I had not been to an optometrist for 2 years and decided to go see Dr. Volponi on the recommendation of a friend. Dr. Volponi and his staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. He even stayed late to fit me for new eyeglasses. Very nice man and bonus he’s a Giants fan. I would really recommend him to anyone.

After two attempts at finding an eye Dr. in town, my family decided to keep going all the way to San Mateo, since the Dr there is awesome, BUT… as gross as this may sound, I woke up this morning with crusty eyes. This was more than the average «I just woke up» sort of crust and being a contact lens wearer we know when something is up. I needed attention right away! I called Dr. Volponi’s office and not only was his front desk coordinator super friendly, but they got me in an hour & a half later! Being that I’ve had 2 bad experiences here in town I was skeptical, but this office was superb in its friendliness and efficiency. Its only been a few hours, so my eye is still funky, but based on service alone I am happy. Thank you Tri Valley Optometry!
PS Being a lover of all things vintage, you’ll notice that some of the décor is 60’s period so that was fun, too! :)

An old looking building with similar décor. But very good personalized service and quality. Extremely high regards for this place. 15^th year and running with my entire family.

I highly recommend Tri Valley Optometry. 4 generations on our family have been going to them beginning with my grandparents back in the 50’s. Our family tradition continues because we get more than 5 star quality service from both Dr. Volponi’s!
When I moved out of state for awhile and had to go to another optometrist, I couldn’t believe how I was «herded» in & out and left without feeling that they had even checked my eyes at all!
Even though I now live in Fremont, it’s worth the extra time & gas for my family to see both Dr. Volponi’s. Over the years he has helped my diabetic parents avoid permanent vision problems because he was thorough in examining them, monitoring their condition and even took photos of their eyes and explained his findings in a way they understood and wrote letters to their physicians.
My son thinks Dr. Jim is the greatest! After talking about their shared interests in sports, Dr. Jim prescribed some sports vision exercises and along with contacts, my son swears that Dr. Jim helped him not only to see better, but play better too!
I am now at the age where I thought I would never get to– I couldn’t read the newspaper! I now proudly wear my reading glasses not only to read, but also for using my computer. I also got my first pair of progressives– an updated version of the bifocals to see both for reading and for distance and I absolutely love them!

I had been going here since I moved to Livermore 7yrs ago. The friendly staff, doctors, and their service kept me coming back. I always felt like i just couldnt get much benefit from the contacts and glasses that I was being prescribed. My vision deteriorated year after year and the only thing the doctor did was up my prescription. Even though it still didnt help me to see any better. Well, finally my sister moved to another Optometrist in Livermore and I followed. The other optometrist immediately diagnosed me with a condition known as Keratoconus. This condition deteriorates the cornea of your eye over time and may lead to blindness. Sadly, by the time I went to see her (my new optometrist) I was already legally blind in my left eye. This was because the doctor’s at this office had FAILED to diagnose me.
