I have been coming to Dr Tong for over 20 years and I have brought my children to see him too. A few years ago, I switched to the Oakland office because there were more appointments available and the parking situation was better. He is a caring knowledgeable optometrist. The staff is great and I will continue to see him even if I have to drive from San Mateo to Oakland!

I’ve been going to Dr. Tong for over 20 years. His office is a no frills office but the service they provide is above and beyond.
Dr. Tong will give you an extensive exam, not the in and out in 10 minutes, explains what’s going on with your eyes, your options. For the past 20 years, my prescription has changed many many times, I can’t wear a certain kind of contact lens and why and he explains it all very patiently and informatively.
Connie remembers my voice when I call without even having to same my name! She’s very helpful and knows my type/​taste in glasses. I can’t say enough about this place, I keep coming back with and without insurance, they work with all financial needs and insurance! Nice to know that they have my best interest at heart.
Thank you and I will see you soon.

I’ve had Dr. Tong prescribing my contacts since the 1980s when he was fresh new in practice in San Francisco. Keep coming back again and again. His Chinatown office is in the basement, but don’t be put off — he is the best! Never had a serious problem. He is always concerned about giving the best care and the office is a really friendly place.

I don’t understand the rave over this place. Perhaps I’m a rather negative/​critical person?
Dr. Tong himself is a great optometrist and is good at what he does but he has an odd personality. I don’t know if its just me but he always seems annoyed when I ask him a question. I stopped asking him anything after my 2^nd appointment for contacts. I’m sorry I don’t know the difference from soft and hard lenses, but at least EXPLAIN without an attitude! I just shut up and let him ask his questions. Awkward to be around with.
Now Connie is a WHOLE other experience. She’s bubbly and nice! But she’s a little too persuasive for my liking. She knows what to say to make you happy and willing to follow her decision. She’s a professional though. She knows how to pick the perfect frames for your desire. I like how she almost whispers when you ask her the price for anything.

I found Dr. Tong through my vision provider, choosing based upon location and appointment availability. Lucky me, I chose Dr. Tong.
I just had my first appointment and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Tong, Connie, and Peggy are oh so very nice and I didn’t have to spend an eternity in the waiting room. Great service, very considerate, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Dr. Tong was also very nice when answering my questions.
An easy five star rating.

I love Dr. Tong and Connie! They cut the fluff and give it to me straight on what I need, what is the best deal and squeeze me in whenever I need.
I’ve been coming here since I was 10 and plan to until Dr. Tong retires. Connie is great b/​c she is always willing to fix anything with a big smile… now that’s service.
