Peninsula Eye Care Medical Associates

Great service, always. They are unfailingly kind to both myself and my daughter, as well as knowledgeable and helpful. My daughter wanted contacts at age 10 because of sports (and vanity) and they worked with her patiently until she could get her contacts in and out comfortably. The service team at the front desk knows everything about insurance and helped me figure out how to get the best deal and coverage. Highly recommend!

I have an active daughter with an always changing prescription. Melinda, the optometrist technician is great! I can’t say enough good things about her. I had glasses replaced once and repaired once in a period of 4 months. She’s always pleasant, she provided me with accurate information and thanks to her I got the right glasses with the right warranty so I don’t have to pay every time accidents happen. no wait, no tricks. I’m super happy to have this place in San Pedro.

Amazing place and staff! I have a 10 year old son who is rough on his glasses, on two occasions we’ve had to go in for repairs and come out with his glasses either completely repaired or replaced (because the damage was under warranty). They are friendly and super helpful.
The waiting room is dark and dungeons, but that’s the only negative I have to report.

Optometrist are very good here ~ but do not get your glasses here very expensive !!! I was quoted over $ 1000 for my glasses with progressive lenses and transitional lenses. Ok I couldn’t use my insurance but they did give me a discount which brought my glasses down to over $ 800 still. I asked if I could get my glasses by the following Friday and the girl assured me I could (I ordered on a Friday that was one week). When I called to check I was told, they would check but if is not in shipment I would have to wait until Monday. It’s now Tuesday and they told me they would probably have by next Monday. That’s over two weeks, I usually just take my prescription and go to LensCrafters or Costco ~ because it’s cheaper and I get my frames faster. So upset !!! I was told there is nothing they could do. I would NEVER order glasses from optical Dept again from here !!! Consumer beware and read other Unilocal reviews before you purchase glasses from here !!!

We have a certain insurance so it’s necessary to find an optometrist in the network. This seemed to fit the bill and it is in our area. However — — I caution anyone who thinks they are getting a good bargain –from the staff up to Dr. care – I would like to compare it to something but I can’t think of another company who employees snotty, rude employees and makes excuses to keep them. The receptionist is either not all there or she is cold and unpleasant. Not once, but since we have been going this girl is rude. We signed in and no one at the desk. We waited in the lobby. Within 10 min she called us out and said in a rude manner had we signed in — we were the ONLY ones there and the sheet we signed in on was blank except our names. We told her yes and she instead of acknowledging says we signed in the wrong place and makes us come up and sign where she wanted us to sign. Seriously – that was the only clip board up there and she was no where to be seen. The eye assistant (we presume thats who it was) was too busy talking about her shopping escapades to answer some of our questions or make us feel she knew what she was doing. The Dr. was polite however she did request further tests which we did follow up on somewhere else and nothing was wrong. Every year we go in for our eye exam and every year they want to dilate you –I have been told that is not necessary unless something has been detected so I refuse.
Moving on to the optical department to purchase eye glasses… I feel they see $$$$$$$ when anyone walks in the door which by the way is really hard to get into –It is a small room but the rude girl at the front guards the door so you have to go through her The insurance is decent coverage, if you aren’t being ripped off. I picked my frames and decided to wait however my husband knows me and told them I would be looking to find it cheaper online-​the person who was helping me said, oh no, you will NEVER find them cheaper. The lenses, well mine for progressive was only 10 – ya right… thats what the insurance covers — but they don’t cover the coating the anti glare etc which was 75.00. i did find the frames way cheaper on line and asked for price comparison or at least something off and when i say way off – 100.00 –they refused to budge-​so needless to say-​this is the last year for Peninsula eye care for us.
When will business learn WE THE CONSUMER ARE KEEPING YOU IN BUSINESS???
By working with the customer you will gain a lot more in the long run. Take your chances with your eyesight and pocketbook here!

Professional staff. Nice and friendly. What
More could you ask for. My last eye dr staff was rude, short and not willing to be flexible. Googled this place and no the whole family are patients.

I’ve been going there for at least 5 years. They always take good care of me.
