Jun 14, 2023
The moment I got to the office, their customer service is excellent. From the receptionist, to the doctor, to the gentleman who helps at the end with the glasses, I was extremely happy with how helpful and professional they all are and they are open late on weekdays and open on Saturdays too. I have been looking for a doctor and staff like this.

Trustworthy, reliable, and efficient. Can get appointment within a fairly short time. Friendly staff and doctor. I love that it is a small office where someone answers the phone! :-) One glich I encountered was when I tried to contact the office via a reminder email that I received. The email said to click a link to request an appointment. I clicked the button, but never got a call or email to schedule the appointment. In any event, it's super-easy to call and schedule an appointment.

Dr. Matsunaga is very competent and efficient. I immediately felt comfortable with him. I’m not surprised why Dr. Chase, my previous optometrist who retired, referred all his patients to Dr. Matsunaga.
Feb 24, 2022
Dr. Matsunaga is such a great optometrist. This was my second visit with him 2 years after my initial check up and he remembered me! He is quick, efficient, and very attentive. I will recommend him to my friends & family. His staff are all very wonderful as well. Great team!

Feb 19, 2022
Dr. Matsunaga and staff are always very friendly and helpful! They quickly got me signed in and after that only had to wait barely 5 minutes before my exam started. They were very professional in escorting me through the different eye examination machines. Dr. Matsunaga himself is very friendly and open to hearing any concerns you have about your eyes. Their office is very clean and they’re diligent about sanitizing the machines between use. Unlike other offices, you don’t feel pressured or rushed during the exam or when browsing frames. I was able to take my time and pick out the frames I liked without feeling like I was in the way or burdening others. One of the most respectable aspects is that they’re very honest about the pricing, they don’t try to hide any hidden fees from you that could pop up when you pay.
Feb 12, 2022
This was my first time and loved the friendly staff and the Doctor.
Feb 7, 2022

Nov 30, 2021
I went in for a simple update on my prescription after my boys and wife had their first visit with Dr Matsunaga. Appointments are ALWAYS on time, staff is super pleasant, and Dr Matsunaga is knowledgeable and professional. The boys' previous optometrist was great, with one caveat... any slightest thing off was grounds to sell you something or always book overly frequent appointments. Dr Matsunaga's practice is the complete opposite. Not at all pushy, certainly he and his staff know their stuff, listens, he's young (anyone is younger than me) and boys really like that about him and can more easily relate. That's a game changer, at least for us.
Nov 29, 2021
Came in to have an annual eye exam. Had a problem between the left and right eye, the Dr. was able to identify the problem after the eye exam.
Nov 24, 2021

Southwood Optometry has a very professional & helpful staff. Yesterday my (first time) appointment went well with Dr. Matthew Matsunaga. He expertise & knowledge of eye care helped make my day.

I care about my eyes & Dr. Matthew Matsunaga cares as much as I do.

Southwood Optometry is a great place to go to get your eyes examined. The people when you check in are friendly and very nice. Dr. Matsunaga is great - very professional, warm and he made me feel comfortable right away. He is low pressure and understands that he and his practice are here to help you and make sure you have a good experience. One of the best things is there was no “upselling” about any item (glasses) or service, everything is laid out clearly to you prior to anything being done for you. Southwood Optometry is practice you can trust.

Efficient, friendly service.
May 21, 2020
The eye exam went very well. I was glad not to have my eyes dilated, since I don't like that part anyways. In the future when I do need it, I would like drops that are free of thimerasol, since it contains mercury and is toxic. I would also like more plastic frame glasses choices with nose pads, since I have a small nose and without it the glass hits my eyelashes.
May 20, 2020
My daughter was very nervous with having to leave the house with the lockdown. Everyone in the office was aware they were very considerate.

May 1, 2020
The office and Dr M was kind enough to let me reschedule & still come in for my New Patient Eye Exam in light of current pandemic issues. My appointment was going to be on Monday end of day and he let me come in on Friday. contact exam, glasses exam all done. He and his team did not rush and were extremely through. What can I say.. I’m a fan of this team and their work ethic & vibe.

Great office with very helpful people. Dr. Matsunaga is an excellent optometrist.
Mar 8, 2020
Every one has been so kind at Dr Matsunaga’s optometry. Dr Matt is always patient and knowledgeable and it has always been easy to schedule appointments. But yesterday I went in for an annual eye exam and decided to buy a years supply of contact lenses. I was told there would be a rebate that would make the purchase cheaper. I wish I could have paused and asked a few more questions. The rebate experience was arduous. It requires you to not only sign up online but also mail in your receipt. On top of that, you don’t receive some of your money back (as I was told) but you receive a gift card for your next purchase of the same brand of contact lenses. My main gripe with this visit was the impression I got from the receptionist who made the rebate seem like a simple process to get $50 back on a purchase.
Mar 8, 2020
Always a great experience every time I have vision needs.
Feb 23, 2020

I felt so welcomed the moment I walked into the office. The entire staff was very friendly and Dr. Matt is great at what he does! All of my questions were answered clearly and I didn't feel like I was being rushed out of my appointment. I also received a lot of help picking out frames and lenses with Brandon, which I definitely needed since I have no perception of how glasses fit on my face! The patience and expertise at this office is phenomenal - I'm so glad I went!
Apr 9, 2019
happy with the treatment, service received.

Top notch professional and friendly staff. Does not try to upsell you on something you might not want or need.
Mar 15, 2019
This was my first time to visit the office of Dr. Matsunaga. My experience was above my expectation. Dr. Matsunaga is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions and concerns precisely. He was pleasant and friendly with me all the time. His office staff is also very nice and friendly. I had to change my eye doctor this time because of the rudeness of the previous doctor's office lady. I'm very happy that I found a very good doctor close to my home.

After going to a "chain eye doctor", leaving with glasses that didn't correct my vision, being told I would have to pay for another vision test and dealing with glasses that weren't fitted, I gave up. My friend recommended you and I am so happy with my exam and interaction with everyone at the office. I am recommending you to everyone I know! Thank you!
