You folks did me right and I truly appreciate it. Due to modifications in both my needs, and the manufacturing world, the pair of glasses that I ordered weren't exactly right. I tried to make them work for about two weeks and then decided I just wanted better coverage in my progressive lenses. No questions asked, you folks figured out the problem, and replaced them quicker than I thought could be done. And now they're perfect. Thank you so much.

I have been going to Dr. Tem Gromquist for over 25 years. I have had multiple eye surgeries over the years which included detached retinas in both eyes and cataracts removed from both eyes. I also have glaucoma in both eyes. Dr Tem has been able to fit me with both contacts and glasses that are very satisfactory for my vision. I always look forward to my annual visit.

I had a great visit. Very professional, friendly & educational. Wish there were eco-friendly frames. I love the bamboo ones I got from a company in Oregon. I will just replace the lenses then. Wish I didn't have to pay an extra $45 to get the pupillary distance measurement. I guess I'll try to get it on my own.

Quick and efficient. Dr Chick is wonderful and seeing Don always puts a smile on my face!


StarStarStarStarStar Vary good optometrist, very bad in-house optician —    (Patient since 2022)

I have seen Dr. Tem Gronquist twice recently: to evaluate need/options for cataract surgery and a few months after the surgery. In both cases I felt his examination was thorough and that he was very careful to communicate the results. On my second visit, that positive impression of Dr Gronquist was undermined by the optician who operates from their office, whose hard-sell, high-priced tactics were unconvincing: $1,000 for a pair of glasses? “It’s like a well tailored suit or a great pair of shoes, you pay for what you get!” When I discovered—from a different optician (Goleta Valley Optical)—that Medicare must pay for one pair of eyeglasses after cataract surgery, the failure to communicate that information tainted my assessment of the entire practice.


StarStarStarStarStar Worth the experience…. —    (Patient since 2022)

I love the professional office atmosphere along with a complete line of professional services ongoing.

Thanks for a thorough, professional review.


StarStarStarStarStar  —    (Patient since 2022)

I visited Dr. Joanne Gronquist expecting to have my prescription eyeglasses updated. After giving me a thorough examination, she explained to me that cataracts were my problem, and that a correction of my eyeglasses was not what I needed. She advised me to take care of my cataracts and to come back and see her in a year. I left her office appreciating her honest professional advice and comprehensive exam, looking forward to seeing her in a year.

Dr. Joanne Gronquist is a thorough examiner. She is very accessible to questions and doesn't push eye glasses on you.


StarStarStarStarStar  —    (Patient since 2021)

When I saw Dr. Tem Gronquist in July, I was very worried due to an ongoing pain in my right eye. I called on a Friday and was given an immediate appointment. I was so relieved. Then, after checking my right eye, Dr. Gronquist diagnosed the problem as "a souture", left after a cataract surgery 10 years prior and causing extreme irritation. He attempted to contact 2 different eye surgeons, but both were not in that day. So, Dr. Gronquist then wrote down the name, address and telephone number of Dr. Katzev (who had done the original surgery) and instructed me to call Dr. Katzev the following Monday. I did and was given an immediate appointment. Dr. Gronquist could not have been more clear and so helpful. All went well!

Everything is fine. Np problems whatsoever.


StarStarStarStarStar Attentive, informative visit with optometrist  —    (Patient since 2022)

I’ve worn glasses since I was ten, and had a torn retina effectively treated by specialists on Micheltorena, but I had never found a really competent optometrist in Santa Barbara, until a friend referred me to this office. I got a second option on cataract surgery, and know where I will return for new glasses after that procedure.


StarStarStarStarStar "Relief" —    (Patient since 2021)

I was very relieved to be given an appointment time which was relatively soon--especially since my husband had been helped a great deal following an immediate appointment. (Thank you.) I was also relieved to find that I had no major problem. And, Dr. Chick was thorough and clear in her explanations.

Dr Gronquist is an exceptional optometrist and an exceptional person. Intelligent, thorough, sympathetic, hard-working and kind. On time, without pretense, and, while she did a very careful examination, she did not try to sell me new glasses. In fact, she advised me that I was fine with what the prescription I had.

My annual check-up with Joanne was, as usual, informative and pleasant. I very much appreciate her alert regarding what to expect next year. Several days later, I was grateful for an "emergency" visit - this time with Tem -associated with a painful particle wind delivered to my right eye; it nested beneath my contact lens. I removed the lens and was grateful to receive quick and sympathetic attention from Tem to my discomfort.

My visits included a comprehensive eye exam from Dr. Tem, an additional 2 visits with Corine for glaucoma exams, and multiple visits with Raquel to choose and then install 3 new pair of glasses. Everything was perfect; professional, relaxed, friendly and, ultimately, successful (I can see clearly to write this review). If I had encountered anything that seemed to need improving I'd say so, but I didn't.

StarStarStarStarStar Great Staff! —    (Patient since 2023)

Everyone on the staff at Gronquist is wonderful. It's a pleasure to visit and deal with you, and usually the whole process is seamless. However, my last pair of glasses required four attempts by the lab to make them right. The errors were not subtle, but were way off. I still look forward to future visits.


StarStarStarStarStar Worth the Drive! —    (Patient since 2021)

I came back to Dr. Joanne after trying the optometry department at Costco. What a mistake that was. Dr. Gronquist is someone I can trust, believe in, and know that whatever she says, I can and will believe to be true. Even if you live out in Goleta, it's worth the drive.

I always leave the Gronquists’ practice feeling grateful. Everyone is so kind and Dr. Joanne is extremely thorough. If all healthcare were practiced at this level, we would be an infinitely healthier society. I’ve been going here annually for about 10 years and have had nothing but 5-plus star experiences. (P.S.

StarStarStarStarStar Long Time Satisfied Patients —    (Patient since 2022)

My wife and I have been going to Joanne since she and her husband took over the practice from Dr. Dobbs, i.e. for many many years. She is absolutely tops. Super alert to any problems or changes, always up on the latest information and technology, and a great source of referrals when necessary. Having a detailed annual photo of one's retina, etc. is a great way to detect any changes before any serious problems arise. I need computer glasses, and the ones I got from her are the best glasses I have ever owned.

I always count on your expertise and courtesy. I especially appreciate the problem solving that Don provided on my recent visit to adjust my glasses.


StarStarStarStarStar Quality vision care, quality people —    (Patient since 2022)

Considering the personable, professional care I receive from Dr. Joanne Gronquist, when my job required that I move from Santa Barbara to Ventura County, I chose to commute and continue my vision care with her rather than seek care closer to home. The staff are all friendly and professional, as well. I have been commuting for my vision care appointments for 19 years, now, and would happily commute twice the distance for the quality of care received. Thank you, Joanne and staff!

StarStarStarStarStar Safe environment and advanced technology —    (Patient since 2021)

The Gronquist office felt very safe. The staff was friendly and considerate. I was impressed with the advanced technology. Dr. Tem Gronquist took time checking my eyes and finding the right type of prescription for my complicated eyes. I've had cataract surgery and two complicated detached retina surgeries which changed my eye requirements significantly. Dr. Tem Gronquist explained the tests and photographs of my eyes so I could understand my needs. I highly recommend this office for finding the correct prescription and selecting glasses.


StarStarStarStarStar Highly recommended —    (Patient since 2022)

Great experience all around. I recently had two eye examination appointments and received my first pair of glasses at the Gronquist office. I was pleased with the COVID-19 precautions in place, and the whole team was so friendly and helpful. My appointments were with Dr. Chick, who made me feel comfortable and answered my many questions. The gentleman who helped me pick out my frames was so patient and also did an excellent job providing honest feedback.

This is a nice office with great staff. Dr Joanne is a really nice person and she is very careful with our eyes. She diagnosed me with the kind of glaucoma that could be treated with laser surgery and facilitated that for me. A year later another visit with very careful examination. Gives me some piece of mind to know she is so very thorough.

I have seen Dr Tem for years now, and have so appreciated his care! My husband and I are usually in for routine eye exams, but have also experienced an emergency with something stuck to my eye over the weekend, (turned out to be a tiny piece of clear plastic) and Dr Tem made himself available for an emergency visit. He also is available over the phone when I have had questions and concerns about my baby’s eyes. We would definitely recommend Dr Tem!

Doctor is very good. They have a new machine that takes picture of your eye without dialation. They use it so the doctor doesn't have to get close to the patient, thus avoiding COVID risk. Patient is charged $29. Insurance doesn't cover it. So, if you have a family of 5, count of paying $145 for the exams.

I paid $590 for new contacts. When I came in to get fitted for them I was unable to either put in or take out the lenses on my own. Dr. Tem identified me as "a blinker." He'd previously told me I could get a refund. I've left a vm and sent two emails, but so far I've gotten now response. It seems to me that if I can't use these contacts I should get a refund. ASAP. Please advise.

Great job by Dr. Tem doing the eye exam. Disappointed with the limited selection of new frames. This perhaps due to the system of "spoon feeding" new choices one at a time. Also inability to explain pricing differences...i.e. why new lenses,plus new frame is $155. less than just new lenses in old frame. I like to support the overall business, but there is a limit.

I went to do my annual exam since I am about to loose my current Benefits and after I already started the exam I was told I need to add on $35 and that it was now mandatory!! Really? Someone could have informed me about this PRIOR to my exam, and I would not have done it. SO for that reason I did not purchase my glasses at this place and will never ever go back.

We want to apologize for your experience in our office. It is part of our mission to create relationships with our patients based on trust and loyalty. We have obviously failed in this with you. We have changed our email that we send to all our patients before their appointment to include the information regarding the $29 charge for the Optomap and the reason why we are requiring it for all our patients receiving a comprehensive exam. Due to the fact that the masks fog up the doctor's lens almost immediately, it is impossible to get a thorough view of the inside of the eye to evaluate the health. The Optomap is the best way to obtain this view given the circumstances. We have purposely decreased the fee from the industry standard of $39 to $29 for our patients. Without the Optomap, dilation would be mandatory, with no extra fee, but would require the doctor to touch your face and eyelids and stand in close range for an extended period of time. This puts both the patients and doctor at greater risk. Due to COVID-19, our optometric associations have recommended avoiding dilation for routine exams, reserving it for medically necessary reasons, and instead performing imaging of the internal structures of the eye if the technology is available. I apologize if this was not properly explained to you. Wishing you safety and health. Dr. Joanne Gronquist

Courteous, professional, patient, and rational. Used modern technology to provide good eye exam results and did not try to oversell glasses upgrades. I told my wife to switch optometrists and she felt the same way. They were also super cautious about ensuring my safety during the pandemic. Easy to business with, even with insurance.


StarStarStarStarStar Excellent service and personal care. —    (Patient since 2022)

Excellent service and personal care, I have been wearing glasses most of my life and have been to many doctors, Dr.'s Gronquist are at the top of the game and technology with a level of personal care that is beyond normal practice, It's refreshing to have a doctor that I can have a conversation with and get everything explained and also express my opinion and level of comfort and taken into consideration

Found Dr. Gronquist’s office through my insurance provider. When I called to make the appointment I gave them my information to make sure I was covered. The appointment itself was fine. Fairly thorough, and even pushed for LASIK, which I’ve never had a doctor say I was qualified for yet - so I was pretty excited and satisfied with the appointment as a whole. They found contacts that worked well and had a rebate. I paid for everything and left. There was no discussion about billing my insurance multiple ways or anything that led me to believe they were unfamiliar with my insurance. A week later I got a call saying I owed another $110. When I went in I had two people help explain the cost to me, and they found that the math was incorrect and I didn’t owe anything additional. Another week went by and I got another call that said those two people were wrong, and I did owe $110 because they were unaware of how to bill my insurance (should have looked that up before charging me incorrectly). I asked for a receipt and another 3-4 days went by before I got one. I don’t understand why only one person is able to explain my bill to me, or why it took so long for them to get the information to me. Overall, would have gone back, but will not return or refer anyone after having this many issues with billing.


Reply

Thank you for taking the time to let us know how you feel. We completely understand that your billing experience was not ideal. We apologize for being unfamiliar with your plan and for the confusion. Because of your experience, we have educated the whole staff about this specific plan, which is uncommon, and everyone understands it now. We, of course, would love to see you back next year, but understand if you don't feel comfortable returning. We would be happy to assist in forwarding your information to wherever you choose to go next year. --Drs. Joanne and Tem Gronquist and staff.

Smiles. I got one from Dr. Tem Gronquist as he told me that no glasses nor cata y surgery would improve my vision. Maybe he was pleased that the exam proved his hunch was correct. The image he showed me was horrific. Nothing to do but see a retina specialist. Maybe he thinks smiling is sympathetic. Saw another optometrist who said that I n ended a new prescription.

I don’t have 100% confidence in what the optometrist recommends to me and son because I feel he’s always “selling” us something like that machine in place of dilation. And selection for glasses poor. And I feel he is always aware of money. I asked a question but was told that could be answered with a different kind of appt that uses medical allowance rather than VSP.

StarStarStarStarStar Shoutout to Don and the Gronquist team! —    (Patient since 0001)

Dr. Gronquist and his staff are one of the best teams I've ever gone to in terms of any type of doctors visit. Not only are both of the doctors (Dr. Tem and Dr. Joanne Gronquist) incredibly sweet, kind, and genuine, but the reason why I keep willingly coming back to this office is because of Don, one of their staff members. Typically, I hate doctors visits. However, never have I ever felt so taken care of by an office every single time I'm there... enough that I actually enjoy coming back! All of the staff members are wonderful, but this review is mainly for Don. Don always greets me with the most excited demeanor and has never judged me on how indecisive I am when figuring out which frames are the best and which financial options I would be most comfortable with.. Don is honest, knows exactly what type of frames look good on every face type and tells you exactly how it is, always with a smile on his face. It's a tough decision when trying to figure out which frames you want to commit to, but I have NEVER felt rushed while in his care. This year, I am living out of the country but made sure that I got my yearly checkup at this office in Santa Barbara when I came back to California for short week visit. I needed to get my new frames and contacts sent out to me out of the country and wasn't sure what to do without paying a massive international shipping fee, but Don kindly assured me everything would be fine as he was able to have them delivered to my friend who was flying over to visit me in a month. Best part about this? Not only did Don deliver on his promise to send all my things to my friend on time to get to me, but he left a sweet little note for me in the box about enjoying my time down unda' and wishing me the best of luck. Sometimes, it's the little things that matter and these little things are what will keep me returning back to this office. If you're looking for a new Optometrist with the friendliest staff, look no further!

I had a brief scare when I was seeing a flash of light in one eye when it would get dark. I was able to see Dr. Tem the next day. The tests were very thorough and he reassured me that I didn’t have a detached retina. I came in for a recheck a week later. I usually see Dr. Joanne, but I would say between the 2 of them, they provide 5-star treatment 🌟

Dr Tem was awesome. Highly recommend. He took a lot of time to explain everything to me and walk me through all the images. He wasn't pushy about buying anything additional and was very personable.

Dr Tem Gronquist has been a quarterback for me in a very tenuous eye health saga. I came to him already having seven surgeries in various cities.

No other eye specialists have done what he has coordinated and oversaw. Thanks Dr Tem

I should add that Joanne's discovery of a small retinal tear (during an earlier visit) allowed me to get treatment before any symptoms arose and before the tear had a chance to grow. I am very grateful to have my eyesight without having undergone a major procedure.

I’m very happy with the service provided following my cataract surgery. I was treated promptly when I came to the office Dr. Tem was very respectful and kind and explained what he was doing and the reason for the delay in healing of my eye. I’m very pleased to be associated with this practice.

First visit; not sure what to expect. After my first appointment, I plan to use this medical practice for my eye-related medical issues. Went there for a bothersome “field of vision” glaucoma test. Their new test equipment made it easy. Met with Dr. Tem Gronquist; came away satisfied and impressed.

I can not say enough about Dr. Joanne and the staff.. I had my first ever eye emergency and they got me in the same day - worked late to help me.

Matthew had a great visit. Everyone was very warm and welcoming. My only suggestion is to keep a few eye patches on hand to give out to patients who need them.


StarStarStarStarStar She uses very rational and scientific approach  —    (Patient since 2022)

I go to Joanne Gronquist because she is very scientifically methodical, thorough, analyzes every aspect of my health relating to my eyes, does not jump to conclusions (as another optometrist I visited did, explaining as age-related a problem for which Joanne had a simple remedy), is cute and I love her. ;-)

StarStarStarStarStar  —    (Patient since 0001)

I was extremely impressed by my visit to Dr Joanne Gronquist. She is highly skilled at diagnosing a problem I had after Cataract surgery and is sending me to a specialist in that field who may be able to correct it. Her examintaion was the best I have ever had and - I have always felt I chose my dentists well as I do specialist in other health matters. Can't stress enough how excellent she was in her examination of my eyes.

StarStarStarStarStar Wonderful Doctor and Staff! —    (Patient since 2017)

My appt with Dr Tem was great! He answered all of my questions and made suggestions. Don was very patient while I tried on just about every pair of glasses. When I came back to pick up my glasses, the room was in use so Don came out to the waiting room to fit my glasses so I didn't have to wait. He was very considerate of my need to get to work without me saying anything. Tha staff is always warm and friendly. The Drs have done a great job of creating a friendly, patient centered culture.

StarStarStarStarStar Friendly Staff and Great Optometrists  —    (Patient since 2017)

I was welcomed by friendly staff and waited less than 5 minutes. My exam was complete and all of my questions were answered. The optician was very patient and understood what style I was looking for and made very helpful suggestions. There was no pressure to purchase expensive frames.


StarStarStarStarStar Recommended without reservation —    (Patient since 2022)

As always, my visit to see Dr. Gronquist was pleasant, efficient, and personal. Putting that together with the high-level competence and skill of this health care professional makes it quite easy for me to recommend--with absolutely no qualification or reservation--this eye care professional and her team.

As an editor, I use my eyes in my work, so it's extremely important for me to get good care, and I am totally satisfied with this office. Dr. Gronquist has been caring for my eyes for years and I highly recommend her. She's thorough, knowledgeable, congenial, and completely professional. Her staff is also very kind and attentive. They will keep adjusting the frames if there are any issues, until you are satisfied. And they take Care Credit, which is a huge plus if you don't have vision insurance.

StarStarStarStarStar A Wonderful Tutorial —    (Patient since 2022)

Joanne not only gives a thorough eye exam, she also explains her observations during the process very clearly. Having my annual exam is also an annual tutorial in the many facets of eye health. She answers my questions before I have the chance to ask them! This time she showed me pictures of my eyes from 6 years ago, in order to compare them with the current ones. Then she explained changes that have taken place over the years, what attention needs to be given them, and what has remained the same. I appreciate her expertise and willingness to teach me about myself so well.

StarStarStarStarStar Top quality eye care with state of the art equipment/ —    (Patient since 2022)

I have been seeing Joanne since she purchased this practice. She has always given me outstanding care, but she went above and beyond by using state of the art equipment that detected a small tear in my retina. It was quick and easy to repair (but she worked the impossible and got me to surgeon the same day) but could have lead to a detached retina, a serious threat to my eyesight! Thank you, Joanne.

We were really coaxed into ordering the lenses that tint when outdoors. I don't like them and wish I went with my gut and got clear lenses.


StarStarStarStarNo Star We did not like the optrician. —    (Patient since 0001)

We did not like the optrician there. It was a bit uncomfortable for the doctor to say my husband needs glasses and then have the eyeglass guy right there pushing his glasses. I found him very unfriendly as he completely ignored me as I was trying to watch my husband being fitted for glasses. Would not buy glasses from him.

StarStarStarStarNo Star Very friendly and good service —    (Patient since 0001)

I felt conformable and well-informed throughout my hole stay. I have to adopt to the fact that the eye specialist is also the optometrist. Both are strictly separated in Germany to avoid conflicts of interest. Anyways, I did not feel I was pushed to buy any glasses so that is okay I guess.

I am so happy with my outcome! I was given an amazing solution to reading glasses and I couldn't be happier with the level of care and the technology in the office. THANK YOU for NOT dilating my eyes and instead using your excellent technology.


StarStarStarStarNo Star The good care in exams, etc —    (Patient since 2022)

The good care in exams, etc. is very much appreciated, but I do wish there were a better frame selection. I have had very bad luck with your office frames. They rarely fit well, the markup seems high compared to other vendors, and the styles are very limited.

As Alma's daughter I would like to point out that the furniture in the waiting room is not easy for elderly patients to get up from. I found this to be true for both parents. Also the office is not easily accessible to wheelchairs given the hill and the door sill.

I'm so happy you take Care Credit! I've always had a very pleasant and thorough experience. I would like to know more about night vision, as "keep your windshield and glasses clean" isn't quite enough. :) So, maybe referral to more references where I can learn about eyes and eye care and aging... Can't think of any other new services. Staff is great! As is the doc. :)

Dr. Joanne is awesome in every possible way. Intelligent, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional.


StarStarStarStarStar First I have not yet received my new glasses —    (Patient since 2021)

First I have not yet received my new glasses. It would be nice if before getting fitted for glasses that they ask us what our budget is like. Rather than starting off with the expensive lenses. I usually go on my lunch hour to my apts. and this took two hours, because there was someone else using the eye glass room I had to wait in the lobby.

They're not bad people and they're pleasant enough but my feeling is always that they are distracted, or talking amongst themselves, and not really making sure to connect with me. The contact is minimal, what's 'required' to do their job but certainly not exceptional. I'm not sure if it's more training that's required or just different people but I feel like you and Tam and Hector are playing at an 'A+' level and your receptionists have mostly been 'B's'

Thank you VERY much for taking the time to give us feedback on how we are doing. I sincerely apologize for your experience with our front desk staff. We strive to make each and every patient feel welcome and comfortable in a friendly environment, but we must have fallen short during your visit. I assure you we will be discussing this in an upcoming staff meeting very soon and will be reviewing specific things that we can do to help exceed your expectations at all areas of our office. Thank you, again, Mr. Schiffer, for caring enough to write us with your concern.

I was very impressed. Clean, upscale office, kind, relatable and helpful staff and doctor, very accommodating, even when I had trouble with my own schedule, and Dr. 'Joanne' was thorough and educated me about my health, and gave me information I could take and work with. Also helped me keep costs down when I was having to pay out of pocket. Thank you!


StarStarStarStarStar Something just not quite right with my eyesight —    (Patient since 0001)

Something just not quite right with my eyesight. Have tried new prescription in two different pairs of glasses, and just not very sharp. Coming back in to have prescription checked again on Monday. KNOW we'll get it right! But, love the docs and everyone there!

Only strange thing was that I had confirmed my appointment via the email reminder and then got a phone call a couple days before my visit asking me to confirm appointment. Seemed duplicative.

StarStarStarStarStar Dr. Joanne —    (Patient since 2022)

Dr. Joanne was fabulous! She was warm, personable, easy to engage with and skilled! It was an extremely helpful appointment to me! The front desk staff was also kind and pleasant to work with.

StarStarStarStarStar Dr —    (Patient since 0001)

Dr. Joanne Gronquist and her team made me feel so comfortable for my first visit/apt, as if I had been going to her for services for years. Dr. Joanne Gronquist and her team were all very professional, they were very informative and answered all my questions with ease. I would definitely recommend Dr. Joanne Gronquist to my family and friends. Thank you for all of your assistance, Anita Lino


StarStarStarStarStar Best experience! —    (Patient since 0001)

I drive over an hour to come here because the service and the doctors are so good! I've been going here for over 15 years and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else!

I sat and waited no more than 1-2 minutes for the gentleman in the optometry shop to call me back. He was very polite, and attentive to my concerns and quickly repaired my frames which needed a little tune up. I was extremely happy with the overall experience of my visit & the 5-star service received by the optometrist!

I'm completely satisfied with the service and care I receive. Were this not the case, I wouldn't have chosen to travel 50 miles to maintain Dr. Joanne rather than find a new optometrist when I moved away from Santa Barbara. Appointments feel more like a happily anticipated visit with a friend than a medical appointment.

Visit would have rated excellent, if it were better news, but it is what it is. Thank you for explaining.


StarStarStarStarStar Outstanding professional service —    (Patient since 2022)

I have been going to Joanne for decades now and always have found her to be absolutely professional, courteous, and prompt. The addition of a full line of glasses was the icing on the cake. Although I wear contact lenses most of the time, I need glasses as a backup and appreciated having the wide selection and assistance in fitting.


StarStarStarStarStar I always enjoy talking with Joanne —    (Patient since 2023)

I always enjoy talking with Joanne. She is down to earth and explains very clearly on subjects pretaining to conditions of eye vision, plus, I just love to see her and visit with her. No changes. Jacqueline Unander

The only thing I found annoying was that I answered the questions as asked, but when I went in for the first portion - the gal asked ALL the questions I just wrote down the answers to. Then Dr asked again, but he was quick to interject when he saw I wasn't too happy being asked a 3rd time. It's just annoying when you fill out the questions as asked but it appears that the staff don't read them. Also, I initially did an online request for an appointment on a Friday when you were closed. I waited until after 3 on the Monday and called because noone has reached out to me yet. Hmmm, I wouldn't have the online request if they aren't replied to first thing (or at least by noon) on the following business day. Just me. I am still happy with your service and appreciative of the gals who watched Roxi when our appointments overlapped for a few minutes.

StarStarStarStarNo Star I didn't agree to contacts exam. I stated I didn't need contacts —    (Patient since 2017)

I didn't agree to contacts exam. I stated I didn't need contacts. I was only in there for a glasses exam. I'm not sure what I paid for. I know I paid $5 copay, which is what the doctor and I discussed, but I'm not sure what the other charge was. Hector said it was for my contacts, but I didn't even need contacts. Was it for the dilation exam? Because that would make more sense. Dr. Gronquist is great and is exactly what I want in an eye doctor. Hector was confusing and said he was going to ask the doctor for clarification for the charge, but he made me pay so I don't know if he ever asked. Hector definitely came off as a salesperson, and he isn't someone that I could trust.


StarStarStarStarStar I very much appreciated DM —    (Patient since 2022)

I very much appreciated Dr. Joanne taking the time to listen to my side of my eyes! I did not feel rushed or like just another face in the crowdle

Very happy with the knowledgeable service I received, my vision issues were clearly understood and all addressed by Dr Grondquist, I understand much more now, I am happy with the new products I am getting and I feel much better. Support staff are particularly good, very friendly and capable. I also like that it's a small comfortable "homey" office that still has all the up to date equipment, rather than a corporate-style and impersonal setting.

It's really nit-picky, but I was surprised with the parking situation in the area. New patients, like me, would probably appreciate learning about how to access patient parking behind the office, by desk staff, when making the appointment.

I dropped by with a problem that I didn't call for an appointment on. It started the night before and I was just down the block on a dental appt. Tem had me wait and fit me in a few minutes after his scheduled appt. He was tremendously reasurring, explained how the problem would develop, warned my about some unlikely possibilities and restored my peace of mind. You guys go above and beyond. Thanks a million.

My main glasses had a bad scratch so I got new lenses within the warranty. The the anti glare surface broke down very quickly, and got fuzzy I paid for the expensive coating on the glasses when I bought them. Hector and I agreed they must have used the cheaper coating on the repair. He said it was now out of warranty from the original purchace. I agree but I paid for the better treatment and dont think I got it. I think it would have been nice to get a free or discounted coating on my new lenses . I had to pay for a new appointment and new lenses at a time when I couldnt afford it. I am glad to have had a great exam thx Thomas
