Dr Char & Associates

Run don’t walk — run away — this guy is a $$$ rip off and waste of time.
Wait time: Over an hour (on a Saturday). You might want to avoid this day as Dr and staff seemed focused on the fact that they close early on Saturdays and were very inattentive.
Quality: ok but not worth the higher rate
Cost: Charged $ 100 more than lense crafters for the same exact eye and contact lense exam but did less testing like depth perception, etc.
Front Ofc: Unhelpful — Receptionist ignored my husband who was waiting to make a purchase while she interacted with her family that were hanging out in the lobby waiting for her to get off work.
Ethics: «F– ” Why? I went back with a pain in my eye from a foreign object. He charged $ 100 to look at it, found nothing but put some dilating eyedrops in to justify charging anything. Didn’t need my eyes dilated and $ 100 was Ridiculous. This review was never responded to — just deleted — twice (probably 3x as soon as they see this one). Lense crafters used to only charged me $ 25 if anything if I needed any follow up exams after my annual exam.

I have been a patient here for about 20 years. The staff is so friendly and helpful… and so patient! It takes me forever to figure out what new pair of glasses I want, and I am never pressured to hurry. They definitely take the time to make sure my glasses fit properly, which I appreciate. I currently live in LA and I still drive down to Orange just to keep seeing them!

I’ve been going there for 20 years. Everyone that works there is great and I always love my glasses.

I went here because they were available through our Vision plan, VSP. He wrote me a perscription for contacts but will not allow ANYONE other them him to fill the contact order. So I can’t get contacts now. I hate it when Dr.‘s think that they are a god!
DON’T go there!!!
