Mark Ichikawa, OD

My wife has been seeing Dr. Ichikawa for the last 5 years. He’s extremely patient, answers all our probably silly questions, smart, very professional, and clearly knows what he’s doing. He’s what you want all doctors to be like.

This is the first time I consulted Dr. Ichikawa regarding my eye problem. He is so particular about the problem and his medication will be pretty precise. I appreciate his patience to treat the patient. He is a pretty good doctor.

Expert. Conservative (what you want with an optometrist). Explains very well (at least to those of us who want explanations). Offers options (he lays out the options and gives pros and cons, but includes you in any decision process. He’s also a nice guy. I trust him with my eyeballs. And my daughter’s.

I picked Dr. Ichikawa because he is near my work place. Very thorough with his examinations and battery of tests. On top of that, he’s a friendly man and very down-​to-​earth. I never felt rushed even though the office was very busy. I have only been here once but it seems he has a great staff. I was helped by Mavis in choosing my glasses and she did a wonderful job picking out glasses that were comfortable, affordable, and suited my tastes.

Dr. Ichikawa is awesome! I just got my eyes checked and he really took the time to explain to a first time eyeglass-​wearer like myself. He is dedicated and will take the time to fine tune your lens until you are completely satisfied. The staff is friendly as well. I will pickup the glasses today and will definitely look forward to my next visit.

I’ve gone to Dr. Ichikawa for several years and would recommend him highly to anyone. I wear contacts and have had to switch brands a couple of times for different reasons; he is always current on the newest choices and never fails to provide detailed explanations for the option he thinks is best. He never rushes so he can get on to the next patient. Very pleasant and professional. I hope he keeps his practice for a long time because I don’t want to go to another optometrist.

Great optometrist!!! Been our family’s doctor for years. Very patient, always thorough in examinations and explanations, and very accommodating. Also very, very good with kids: just has a calm demeanor and he has toys and magic tricks. Highly, highly recommend!

I have been seeing Dr. Ichikawa for at least 6 or 7 years now, and don’t plan to switch for as long as he is there. He is very professional, has a very good manner with his patients, and extremely detail oriented. His staff are very nice and I have never once experienced any problems with them. The staff are willing to take their time with you when choosing your eyewear, all my glasses work great and their maintenance services is also great.
Dr. Ichikawa actually saved my vision and possible trouble this week. I kept seeing a small spot in my left eye but wasn’t taking it too seriously for about 10 days, until I mentioned it to his staff yesterday who called me to remind me of my eyewear pick-​up appointment the next day. She relayed the message to the doctor, who returned my call promptly and told me that there may be some retinal damage although rare and that I should go see a specialist. So this morning I went to an opthamologist down the street who Dr. Ichikawa recommended for a check-​up, and sure enough the doctor found a small retinal tear in my eye. He laser-​treated it on the spot and I am now good as new! It could have become much worse and troublesome if untreated. Thank you Dr. Ichikawa for your quick and accurate decision!

Dr. Ichikawa is great. He has a good bedside manner, is very calm and thorough, and very conservative in recommending treatment, which is just what I want in my eye doctor.
As an added bonus, several of the female staff are very hot. (Can I say that on Unilocal?!)

Being very demanding with my vision, I have found Dr. Ichikawa to be patient with me in my quest to see through walls. However, now that I have to use reading glasses, I can see that even the most patient of us can wear thin. He is extremely thorough and very clear in his descriptions and instructions. He’s also on the flip side impatient if you question him a bit too much. But overall, he’s on the ball, follows-​up on what he says he will, and he delivers good concise lens, glasses, and contacts. His frames are a bit expensive; so, I would shop around. But as for an eye doctor, he’s pretty much the guy.

Dr. Ichikawa is one of the best! I grew up with two uncles who were Optometrists; both with really, really strong/​large practices. Gave me a real appreciation and understanding of the business and some of the medical science.
Mark Ichikawa really reminds me of them. Very thorough and knowledgeable. Very complete. Highly recommended.
