Griffin Optometric Group

Never have I ever been excited to go to the optometrist’s office. That is, until I came here.
Location: Clean and very welcoming. All of the equipment looks up-​to-​date, and the space feels homey as opposed to like a doctor’s office.
Responsiveness: Getting an appointment here is pretty straightforward. I wanted to see Dr. Patrick as soon as possible to get a new glasses prescription for my upcoming international trip, and the office staff was nice enough to call me back on the same day to let me know about a couple cancellations. Basically, I got in the same day.
Dr. Patrick: Such a fun, laid-​back guy. He’s easy to talk to and very trustworthy, which is something I can’t say about all of my past optometrists.
Jim: The best part of my visits! Jim is one of the most positive, upbeat people I know. He is incredibly funny and extremely professional. His attention to detail is worth noting as well; he takes special care to clean all of the medical instruments, so there is no question about the hygiene practices at this office. Jim goes above and beyond to make the exam feel like one smooth experience.
So long as this location exists, I won’t have to think twice about where to go for my vision care. Griffin Optometric Group is, to sum up in a few words, simple and simply delightful.

Always a welcoming experience! The staff is ready to offer any assistance needed and Patrick is extremely thorough and competent with the latest options. Eye care is so important for the whole family and this is the place to come.

They are really helpful, usually no wait and over all very professional recently moved to this group and really satisfied

Very professional and personal. Always on time. Always courteous and concerned about my needs.

I read the reviews and made my appointment. FANTASTIC customer service. I wish my doctors office was this good. seriously if you are looking for an eye dr this is the office to use. Amazing!

Great service fro the entire staff… Highly Recommended…

My very first visit here was nothing short of perfect. Customer service was top notch, the testing done before I met the eye doc was more thorough than I had had before at my old place. Dr. Griffin was very, VERY excited to help me with my dilemma of being very farsighted in one eye and very nearsighted in the other. I work in a medical setting and need to switch my gaze frequently. Contacts in the past have been very uncomfortable while glasses had to come off and on. Nobody before this had suggested progressive lenses. I spent more than I had hoped to but I couldn’t be happier with the results! The frames I got are so beautiful, the fit was done very carefully and they are super comfortable. While I was told I would need a few weeks to adjust to the progressive lenses I actually was perfectly comfortable within just a few days. The front office staff is friendly and helpful and really know their business, too! I would recommend this office to everyone in the San Clemente area and then some!

Always a great experience! Dr Patrick and his team listen, help and provide outstanding service. Highly recommend them!

I have gone to Griffin Optometric Group at their Talega office for several years now. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgable. I have seen two of the optometrist and have been impressed with both. Their selection of glasses is great and I really appreciate their assistance in picking a pair that really look good each time. I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else!

Friendliest staff and Doctors! Had a great experience! Everyone is very knowledgable and very professional. Happy I found such a great eye doctor! And Jim who assists the doctors at the Talega office is just wonderful!

I moved from another state and needed to find an eye doctor. I decided to try out Griffin Optometric Group based on their positive reviews. I’m very happy I did! The facility was easy to find and very clean. I had Dr. Patrick Griffin, and he was great. The staff was friendly and knowledgable as well. The front desk staff located and clearly explained what my insurance covered. If you’re looking for a new office, this is your place!

I had a great experience at Griffin Optometric Group. From the convenient appointment openings on Saturdays to the helpful and courteous staff, my experience was seamless. All employees I came into contact with were extremely helpful and happy and made sure they were providing full attention and care. Would definitely recommend this office and staff to anyone looking for a quality practice.

Dr Patrick Griffin is the best! Really appreciate that he is on time. I left another group because the wait for an exam was usually an hour or longer. I like the fact that he gives a thorough exam, and makes you feel as if you are the most important patient he has. Be sure to check out his socks!
They have the newest technology, and Jim guides you through all the tests with good humor, and a smile.
Office staff is always friendly, and willing to help in any way they can

Very pleased with this office. Ask for Dr. Patrick Griffin. If you need to pick out frames, etc. ask for Christine. Great eye doctor! Great experience!

Recently went for vision check-​up. Have been wearing glasses all my life.
Was encouraged to purchase all the «NEW» offerings out today.
Fundus Photography, enhanced fit polycarbonate PR, Advance UV treatment to lenses,
The list goes on.
Pick up my new glasses and can’t read small print anymore.
Wavey effect seen when you turned your head.
Constant readjusting to read simple print to find spot where I could read.
I voiced my concerns to lady who was helping me and she told me lenses are perfect,
I should «PRACTICE» with them .20 minutes on, 20 minutes off, for up to 10 days.
I’ve never had to Practice seeing!
After 3 nauseating days I went back to see Randy Griffin, who said he was going to «TWEEK» them for me.
I declined.
I travel for work frequently and need to see .Can’t PRACTICE anymore.
Ineed my old prescription which an «old style progressive» as Dr. Griffin called it.
It was’t that I didn’t just not LIKE new lenses, it was I could’t see with new lenses.
What needs to be made known and should have been made know to me before
I was sold alot of «NEW» stuff, was YOU NEED TO PRACTICE SEEING you just can’t put these new lens on, and go live your life.
So… anyone who is entertaining purchase of New Progressive type lenses, be aware of Practice time, PLEASE ask about this.
They cost me $ 631.00, not inexpensive.
The difference in price between my old lenses $ 310.00, and new style $ 631.00 is
alot.
I was told, after a number of phone calls that I would not be receiving a credit of any kind. I was paid in full.
I finally was able to speak with Randy Griffin again, and he reiterated they don’t give credit.
I was finally told a credit of $ 97.00 would be given, THANKS!
I went to them because this is their area of expertise, not mine.
In addition, I had called 3 TOP optical shops in N.Y.C. for a price on what my old lenses would cost today and was told $ 310.00.
Was giving benefit of doubt to Griffin Optical by calling N.Y. opticians, because N.Y.
Is one of the 2 most expensive places to live, work, purchase things, just to be clear.
It’s not that Griffin is not a Good place for an exam, they are, it’s all the small things that are of issue!

This is a wonderful, professional office, with a very friendly staff, and Dr. Griffin is a 1^st rate O.D. and I would recommend anyone looking for one go to this Office.
P. S. Jim is worth the visit alone!

Best most thorough eye exam I’ve ever encountered. They have all the latest updated equipment /​technology out there.
The staff was amazing as well. (except one rude front person)

I am new to the area and found this place on Unilocal.Good experience. Nice office. Staff was very friendly. Will recommend to family. Technician, Jim I think is his name, is a funny guy.

This was the best doctor type of visit I have ever had. The doctor was truly interested in helping my eye problem get better, not just interested in turning around another patient. The scheduling was easy and flexible, the entire office staff was really professional and great. The office itself was super clean and new. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

I’ve been going to Griffin Optometric Group for 2 years now and I can say that it is the best optometrist office I have ever visited. I am a very high myop wearing glasses/​contacts since the age of six. As my prescription is so high, rarely are contacts in stock for me; however Dr. Lucy’s aid ensured that I have a fresh pair ready for me at my visit. I really appreciated the thoughtfulness! I highly recommend their services and will continue to visit the office for years to come. Thank you!
