KDT Optometry

Great doctor! Very nice and clean office and excellent customer service and prices! Dr. Troung has great office hours in sams club and is only closed on Thursdays.

I will never go to Kaiser or any place other than KDT Optometry to get my eyes checked again. I called at 4:30pm today asking for the soonest appointment because Kaiser could not give me an appointment after 330pm for at least 3 weeks. Dr. Truong asked if I wanted to come in today and then asked how long it would take to get there. I got in at 530pm today and I had my contact lens prescription (and my 5 trail pair lenses) in hand by 6. He was very nice and the place wasn’t crowded, in fact I was the only one there. I give this place 5 stars because it was $ 114.00 for my contact lens exam with astigmatism (the same price as Kaiser, if not less), he got me in with only an hours notice, it was after 5pm, he was quick, AND he laughed at all my little jokes. Dr. Truong is my new Eye Man!

Very good place for the eyes checked.. Give you better service for the cost of the price.. Stop by and check out.. inside sam clubs

I was definitely very impressed with KDT Optometry. Dr. Khoa has great energy– I have met a lot of people and doctors that carry this arrogance with them that makes it seem like they are just wanting to quickly get done with you and move onto the next paycheck… oops I meant client… lol (you can get what I mean!) But Dr. Khoa actually made me feel comfortable and not like just another client. I have recommended him to my sister who currently uses Costco– definitely does not compare to what she would experience here. Namaste’ #GetMotovaded

Called and made appt same day. Walked in and taken care of. Easiest eye exam I’ve had. No fuss and as a type 2 diabetic the doc made sure I got the once over. If you want a good experience do yourself a favor and make an appt. I paid cash and the deed was done! A few reviewers spoke about a video and some side biz. Rest assured, I got no side biz and viewed no videos! Since there hasn’t been a review in a while, I needed to make it clear… go here and see clear!
Boom chacalaca!

Great person… Great doctor. Extremely reasonable prices.

Dr. Truong is awesome! I first went there when I didn’t have vision insurance because he offers a contact lens exam for a great value @ $ 89. I now have vision insurance, but I continue to go to him because he is very personable and it is always an enjoyable visit. He leases a space in Sam’s Club and is not affiliated with their Vision Center so there is no pressure to get the expensive contacts/​glasses. I was able to get a same day appointment (actually, within 30 minutes of my call). Eye exam was quick and easy. Thank you again, Dr. Truong!

First Unilocal review. First time seeing an optometrist. He was friendly and high energy yes. However, I felt the whole procedure was very rushed. He was actually TELLING me which lens should look better as he quickly flipped through different ones on the machine. I had to ask him to slow down so i could try to focus on them and tell him if it was really more clearer than the last lens or not.
He was also pretty quick to cut off my questions and move on to the next thing, not a very good listener, but ok, there were a few people in the office waiting and he was trying to get to everybody quickly, still… these are my eyes we’re talking about and i’d like to make sure we’re doing it right, ok?
And yes, i can confirm with the previous poster Ka S. that he does indeed promote this Protandim drug. Had a video on his laptop we all had to watch in the waiting room. An obvious up-​sell side business, but i agree with Ka, that was not what we were here for. I heard him spend more time with the patient before me on that drug than he did with my eyes. NOT cool.
Not a bad guy, not exactly «sleazy» as Ka put it, but i don’t even know what the hell my vision is? He never told me or wrote it down, or told me if one eye is worse than the other… am i ²⁰⁄₄₀? ²⁰⁄₆₀? ²⁰⁄₈₀? ⁴⁰⁄₄₀? I mean, i went to an eye doctor to get a prescription for glasses cuz i know my vision is blurry, yet i left not knowing how blurry, but i know about his miracle drug… again, not cool.
He’s a nice guy, but i won’t be going back.

Super friendly and super awesome service! Very personable and not your typical serious uptight doctor. Very accommodating plays music for you in the exam room while you sit and wait. Besides the service the biggest perk is that you don’t have to be a SAMs club member to order contacts or glasses from SAMs, they let you order just for being a patient here. Such a pleasant experience! I highly recommend!

I walked into KDT with no appointment and Dr. Truong took care of me right away (even though he was about to step out for lunch).
During the eye exam, I could tell this wasn’t your typical eye doctor. Not only was he accommodating and thorough, but he also has a great sense of humor (and he’s quite easy on the eyes). Sometime during the exam, I casually mentioned I was on my last pair of contacts so on my way out, he slipped me 2 pairs for free to hold me over. WOW, right? I didn’t even ask him! Super nice guy.
My experience at KDT was so pleasant and breezy that I just had to create an account to share it. If my dentist followed Dr. T’s lead, I would actually show up for my appointments on time.
So in short, if you want a friendly and cool eye doctor who knows his stuff, Dr. Truong is your guy.
You rock, Dr. T.

I always enjoy visiting Dr Truong, i live pretty far from that location but it is always worth the trip because of the great service they provide! He genuinely cares about his customers and it shows through his energy. If you need a cool eye doc, hes tha man.

I’m surprised to see such great reviews of this place. My experience was quite the opposite.
Lets start with the good part of the visit, then I will tell you why Dr. Truong’s behavior was sleazy, scammy and completely unprofessional.
Dr. Truong is educated (Berkley!), competent (Berkley!) and is a very nice guy (awesome energy!). I got an appointment within an hour of calling him. When I got there we rapped about bike riding, running and staying fit.
Everything was great at this point, and I was ecstatic to find a professional, energetic and affordable optometrist in the area.
But then things got kind of weird…
While talking about bike riding, he casually mentioned about this new drug called Protandim. A miracle drug that somehow reversed the aging process and allowed him to ride his bike faster… and no joke he actually said this… make all the girls that take it look super sexy.
Uhm…even though my BS detector was going off… he was super nice about it and I didn’t want to be rude so I went along with it. I even went as far as pretend to put the name of the drug into my phone.
I just wanted to get my eye exam done so that I can order my contacts and move on with my day.
But then it continued.
In the middle of the eye exam, he started blabbering something about free radicals and how this drug helps your cells. I just nodded my head and smiled. Didn’t respond thinking he’d get the hint that I didn’t want to hear about it anymore.
The eye exam continued but then the worse thing happened…
I started telling him that I see floaters. Little black spots on my right eye that seem to dart away when I focus on them. I’ve done research on this. it’s not a big deal unless it gets progressively worse. I tell all eye doctors this and all of them have told me the same thing. It’s a sign of aging and there’s really nothing that can be done unless it gets so bad that it affects the vision. Then eye surgery is the last resort.
Instead of asking me more questions or even taking a look at my eye… Dr Truong told me that PROTANDIM will clear this for me. This non-​FDA approved miracle drug would now somehow cure my eyes from these floaters (he said it was «just eye garbage) that every single eye doctor in the past told me that nothing can be done with it.
Listen…I’m all for dietary supplements. I take a few as vitamins… but something feels not quite right when a Doctor prescribes a non-​FDA approved dietary supplement as a cure for something that cannot be cured without surgery. ESPECIALLY when the doctor is selling this drug on the side.
Come to think about it… not only is it not quite right, it is completely irresponsible and borderline illegal.
I get it Dr. Truong. You like this dietary supplement. You even sell it on your website!
But my advice for you is to stay with checking eyes in the office. By all means get supplemental income by selling this stuff on the side… but, stop mixing the two together.
Don’t show a video in your office selling this stuff.
Stop trying to peddle it to your eye clients.
Just focus on giving eye exams. That’s what your clients are coming to you for.

Dr. Khoa is amazing! Made everything seem like a breeze. Very knowledgeable! I highly recommend him to everyone!

Dr. Khoa. Was awesome. Ive been looking for a nice, reliable plus affordable optometrist. Thanks to him. I can see better now lol. he took care of me and went the extra mile.
Gave me a pair of contacts and explained a lot of my questions. Really knowledgeable and great positive attitude. One of the best customer service Ive ever gotten from a Dr.
Im coming back for sure.
Thanks Dr. Throng

Quick, Accommodating, Helpful. Great customer service and cheaper than most other places I’ve been to. I got contacts and Dr. Truong called my insurance provider to help me get the most benefits I can.

This was my first eye doctor in San Diego. I was recommended through the San Diego Reader because they had a special for an eye exam and my company didn’t offer vision insurance. It was really worth the drive to Lemon Grove because of the deal I was getting on the exam. Dr. Truong’s office is inside the Sam’s Club, but it’s clean and equipped and he has everything a commercialized optometrist has.
I live in PB and still drove out there because it was only $ 89 initially. They also use 1800 contacts so I just kept ordering my lenses online as needed.
The second time I went I still didn’t have insurance, but my appointment was only $ 114 and I always leave with samples. I would recommend visiting Dr. Truong. He’s nice and honest.

I had my first eye doctor appt in many moons last week with Dr. T who is located right there in Sam’s Club, and when I was done he walked me over to the optometry dept right next door.
Since I didn’t want to go the lame eye doctor that my husband was stuck doing business with, I naturally Unilocaled and found the wonderful Dr. Troung. He is a young, cool dude with a friendly, customer service oriented attitude and he is def a one many show, so come with a bit of time to spare.
The first time I came in, I wasn’t able to see him because of a snafu with my insurance but he kindly told me to please come back once I had everything straightened out. A few days after the first visit, I called, got another appt that week and in I went. He is thorough, professional and just generally a nice guy who happens to be super educated (UC Berkley.)
I posted my experience on facebook and I hope my SD friends and family will take advantage of the good doctor and his awesome prices. After my eye exam was done he walked me over to the eyeglass dept next door and left me in the very capable hands of Miss Josie.
Miss Josie has very obviously been trained in customer service. She was beyond friendly and helpful and this will be the ONLY place I ever go to get my glasses. Btw, the prices are beyond crazy good and the selection is more than adequate.
Thanks again my fellow Unilocalers, you guys nailed it!

NO appointment or membership required!!!
I’m the person who sleeps in my contacts for months at a time, and knew I was due to spend some time in glasses. Dr. Truong was able to see me the minute I walked in, and didn’t lecture me about my poor contact conduct even though we BOTH KNEW what I’d been doing.
I feel like I was in and out of there in less than an hour, and we were able to do all those handy little tests that measure eye pressue, peripheral, etc. He also gave me contact and glasses prescriptions, and kindly suggested I take a look at some glasses.
I look forward to my next visit!

Is it weird that I look forward to seeing my optometrist? I guess not if you have Dr. Truong.
I got Lasik from an Opthamologist Dr. Troung recommended to me, and the procedure and experience was great — most pleasant surgery experience ever! I now do my follow up appointments with Dr. Truong and he is great at managing my expectations and easy to coordinate with as he has great hours to make it convenient for me to see him.

Mr. Magoo doesn’t have shit on me! Without contacts I’m about as useless as a no legged man in an ass kicking contest, so when I was down to my last pair of lenses an eye exam was needed stat. Dr. Truong was just the man to come to my rescue.
Same day service I was able to get in 2 hours after I initially called, and an hour after that I had a fresh prescription that was a better fit than what I came in with. Sure it was in a Sam’s Club and a little off the beaten path for me, but totally worth it in terms of price, quickness, and accessibility.
Doc Truong pays it forward to his customers being able to charge less due to the fact that he leases a small office out of the warehouse. That paired with the fact that lenses are wholesale, and it was a much cheaper outing than any I’ve ever experienced.
My vision insurance is not the greatest and it pisses me off to pay a lot out of pocket just to be able to see. If you feel my pain go to Dr. Truong and it will ease the blow a little bit.
