Scott Dinh, OD

It was pleasure to have a eye exam scheduled with Dr Scott Dinh. I called in the morning to check if I can get an appointment on the same day itself and I was a new patient. I got the same day appointment, isn’t that fabulous.
The office and waiting area was clean. The waiting time was only a few minutes. Front desk person was courteous. Dr Scott is young, helpful and respectful person. He tested my eyes and gave me the contact lenses prescription which I needed.
Overall a very good experience.

I’ve been going to Dr. Dinh for 10 Years. He is very knowledgeable and honest. I have referred some friends as well.
He is very thorough. Willing take the time to talk to the customer and make sure I understand.
I have to say that eyes are really important and it is important to me to find a doctor that I can trust. For that, I don’t trust my eyes to anybody else but Dr. Dinh.

Two things:
–After years of migraine headaches, I finally switch to a new optometrist, who told me that I had slight astigmatism that Dr. Dinh failed to identify. Instead of prescribing me the correct glasses, he increased my prescription slightly.
It’s been months after my new prescription from my new optometrist and the daily headaches have yet to make an appearance.
–At one point in college I’d broken my glasses and needed to order a new pair, stat. Since I didn’t want to order my new pair from Dr. Dinh’s selection, I asked him to give me my prescription. He hemmed and hawed and wouldnt hand it over until I pointed out that it was illegal under FTC rules.

I’ve been going to Dr. Dinh for a while and he’s a decent optometrist and a friendly guy. Not the most thorough optometrist when it comes to the exam, but he gets the job done. I’m mostly writing this review because I’m dismayed at this places professionalism when it came to my contacts.
I went to my eye examination a month ago before heading off to school in DC and he told me my right eye is no longer –1.00 and I should try out –0.5. I told him sure I’d try it out. Fast forward a week from then, I tried on the –0.5 and saw that it was pretty weak and was still blurry for me. At this point I’m over in DC and sent it back to my Dad to bring it in and exchange it for me. At first he told my Dad that since it was already open, he can’t exchange them for my old prescription, but after a while he said sure he’ll get me a new box at my old prescription next week.
When my Dad came in to get my new contact lenses, instead of giving me a fresh box of contacts, Dr. Dinh gave me a box of sample lenses. Are you kidding me? He even had the audacity to tell my Dad that these lenses are the best lenses since only optometrists gets them even though the box clearly says «Sample lenses, not for resale. Look, he made the mistake of giving me a lower prescription lenses and instead of returning them and getting new ones for me, he got me old sample lens he got from the vendors. This is not a good way to do business and he even had the nerve to lie to my Dad who doesn’t know any better. He tried to save a couple of bucks by not getting me a new box of lenses for his mistake and instead gave me some free stuff. Cmon, if you were going to give me sample lenses, at least tell my Dad up front or me, instead of lying about it.
If you’re looking for an optometrist or any sort of doctor, I think it’s important to find an honest person as well as a person who would run a business and practice with integrity. I don’t feel like Dr. Dinh runs this practice with integrity and honesty and that’s something you want to avoid when you are entrusting someone with your health. If you were to make a mistake or are going to give me a sample, own up to it and be honest, don’t lie to my Dad. My whole family goes here and now because he wanted to save $ 27 on a box of contact lens, he is going to lose our business. I will definitely lodge a complaint with the Better Business Bureau

I have to echo others’ sentiments on Dr. Dinh, since they are spot on. At first, I was a bit skeptical since he seemed so open and enthusiastic. I had questions and pestered him about it, he was very thorough and patient in his responses. His prices for frames were great deals, and the environment was overall inviting and warm… at first! Fast forward to a couple of visits later, my family was looking at some frames, and my dad noticed that he kept throwing weird dirty looks in our direction. We were the only ones there at the time, so it was a bit strange. When we left the area, he came back and carefully inspected each one. After that, he was more abrupt and colder towards us.
I have a suspicion that he thought we were out to steal his frames, which is totally a lucrative market for customers that you’re supposed to trust and not make it so obvious if you don’t. Well, his behavior was just unjustifiable, given that we were just looking at the frames and clearly showed that we put them right back where they belonged afterwards. We’ll be transferring optometrists.
However, his receptionist is very nice!

Been going to Dr. Dinh for 8 years now. Learned he went to the same high school I did, small world. He’s a nice guy and good optometrist. I like him because he makes you feel comfortable, is quick and informative and has your best interest in mind. He also takes some time to get to know you and tries to stay up to date on your next visit. His office also sends postcards to remind you of your next appointment which I like and need. Only drawback, he doesn’t have a big selection of frames to choose from :/

Dr. Dinh gets the job done right. I have been seeing him for about seven years now, and my entire family is very happy with his office. He has always answered my questions clearly and I’ve had my contacts ordered and glasses made without complications.
The new office at Concourse is beautiful and spacious with a good frame selection in glass cases which gives this place a boutique feel without the overexaggerated boutique prices.
Also, next door is Ha Le, DDS so you can get your eyes and teeth taken care of all in one shot! :-)

I have to agree with the other reviewers; Dr. Dinh is so hot and cold. I’ve been going to him for at least 10 years now. He used to be super cool, very nice, would give me free samples of stuff, even gave my friend a pair of disposable trial lenses when she forgot her contacts. But the last few years he’s such a grump and unpleasant to deal with. And his father-​in-​law who runs the front desk does not speak much English and if he doesn’t understand he gets mad at the customer! But Dr. Dinh doesn’t charge for lens fittings every year like other Dr. s do and that’s the only reason I sick w/​him, it’s cheaper for me. But I’m seriously looking into Lasik just to not have to hassle w/​him or other Dr. s anymore.

I asked him do have my ray ban frames to be fitted with oakley lenses cause hes a oakley dealer.
I told him to dot the lens to match my pupil height so everything will be sharp when i put them on. He said dont worry the sharpness will be through out the lens vertically, so i believed him. When I got my sunglasses back they were fuzzy and the sharpness of the lens was lower than my pupils are.

Like someone said, he sometimes act if he is too good for you. I actually made one appointment and I asked him if I could get my prescription, he said I had to wait a few weeks? And when I kept asking, there was always a delay. To me a simple request should not such a burden for either parties. This was a few years. He didn’t talk too much but I can’t expect an eye doctor to have a personality I suppose.

He’s improved again, maybe it was just a bad day that I came in that time, but the last two times, he’s returned to that old Dr. Dinh that I know.

Dr. Scott is an alright optometrist. He isn’t really friendly and doesn’t say much. Sometimes it is hard to reach him. The eyeglass option is updated to the latest style. Contact are a little over price. Overall, the experience there is pleasant.

Insight Optometry is one of the best optometry places in town. Dr. Dinh’s professionalism and expertise are a cut above the rest. The selection of eyewear available is impressive, he carries all the latest styles and keeps up with all the trends that you would see in a fancy mall eyewear shop. Best of all, Dr. Dinh is one of the nicest people you will meet in this profession or any other. I highly recommend his services.
