Allen D Hoek, OD

Scheduled in an appmnt for my mother almost a month ago. Received a call 2wks ago to confirm & remind us. I Cleared out my schedule for that day & planned my errands around it. Received a call the morning of (about 30min before the appmnt) from Linnette only to tell me out of the blue that this appmnt will not be billed to her insurance. Really you call the «Morning Of» to tell me this? I asked why wasn’t I told this sooner & no answer. They are slackers & obviously lazy to get their simple jobs done accurately. Just wasted 4WKS of our time when we could have gone elsewhere & a complete waste of my work day. Be consistent with calling them & make sure you literally record them because they fail to deliver correct information. So frustrated with this Drs. Office. Don’t waste your time here unless you want to deal with issues.

Dr. Hoek was very pleasent and he explains everything to you, is very thourough. I would recomment anyone to go the him.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Hoek for some time now — first time was years ago when he was getting his OD at UC Berkeley. Great service, good sense of style regarding what glasses work and do not work for you. Excellent with contacts and vision care. My wife and kids all go to him. It’s a bit of a drive for me but well worth it.
His selection and prices are very good for a non chain optometrist. I have had a variety of designer frames from him that rock, including my sunglasses. I will keep going here over any chain place no matter what specials they offer on the low end frames.
One thing that really impressed me is that I was having an issue with one of my eyes. When I described my symptoms he made room for me the very next day (a Friday evening). He also detected a serious issue, contacted a retinal specialist in my area, and had an appointment set up for me first thing Monday morning. Probably saved my eyesight.
Sorry there is no humor in this review. Eyesight is serious business. Yes, Dr. Hoek may be a little geeky — you should have seen him when his hair was permed :). I have also seen him in social situations, he is actually very well spoken and people genuinely like him.
But most importantly, he knows his stuff. I have no hesitation in recommending him.
