Was very thorough and answered any questions I had. Walked me through obtaining my first set of glasses.
Verified patient
I was a good 20 minutes early for my appointment, and he saw me right away anyway. He's super-nice, super-efficient, and I have nothing but good things to say.

Verified patient
Best doctors appointment I've ever had. Showed up early because I expected to have a long wait and issues with running a new patient insurance. I was wrong. The doctor saw both my son and I right away. She was great with my son. Got me what I needed. Wish I went there sooner
Verified patient
Both the salespeople and the eye doctor were incredibly helpful. I was in and out in less than half an hour and will pick up my new glasses in less than two weeks. They had a good selection of glasses that my insurance will pay for fully as well as other nice designer frames. Fully recommend!
Verified patient
The doctor was very professional and efficient. I just got an eye exam because I wanted a new pair of glasses and I haven't checked my eyes in more than 2 years. The doctor was very nice and quick. I didn't feel rushed at all. The staff was overall was nice as well. Especially Tina. She took her time to help me choose the glasses and answered all my questions. She was very knowledgable. Bonus- I think this was the first time I didn't feel ripped off after buying a pair of glasses. Normally I dread it almost as much as going to the dentist and end up regretting whatever I buy. This time I didn't. Would I go back for my next pair? Definitely!
Verified patient
I was very happy to have an appointment so soon. The staff was extremely courteous and even called my former Davis Vision doctor in order to verify my insurance. I was reassured that my eye infection was not life-threatening! The doctor was extremely professional, extremely thorough in her investigation and diagnostic, friendly, quite informative and she made me feel totally at ease. I left the office very happy to know that I now have an excellent ophthalmologist in my neighborhood. I will certainly return for my yearly check up.
Verified patient
Dr.Yan was very nice and sweet. I was literally there for less than 30 min which is awesome! From the moment I walked in I was greeted. There was no wait. Got my exam picked out glasses and done. Exactly how it should be.

Verified patient
She was very quick and sweet!
Verified patient
Took a while to get seen (there's only one doctor in the office at any time) but when I was seen, the doctor was efficient, communicated clearly, and listened well. I got my new eye prescription and contacts prescription in less than 10 minutes.
Verified patient
Excellent doctor. Informative and quick.
Verified patient
I was seen quickly and the appointment was efficient, but the facilities here aren't great. The exam room is tiny, and there was no tissue in place on the machine where you rest your chin and forehead. I hope it was sanitized!
If you're in Bed Stuy or Bushwick, I highly recommend this place as your local vision center. The optometrist and the whole staff are incredibly helpful and courteous. Very happy with my experience!

Fast and professional
Verified patient
Dr. Yan was amazing. I haven't had an exam in over 4 years and he was very patient with me every one in the office was great. I felt well taken care of by thoughtful, smart and experienced professional.
This is my first pair of glasses that I absolutely love! Tina is awesome and she couldn't have been more helpful. Small store, but they have an amazing selection of frames and customer service is first rate. The Dr. was also incredibly professional and helpful. The quality of the lenses and prices are much better than my previous glasses.
Love Dr. Yan. After being diagnosed with dry eyes within two seconds of looking at my eyes, he knew I had cornea infections, he saw me for several weeks and explained each week what he is doing. he answered all my questions. very nice.
Love the service, very professional knowledgable and nice Dr. First time wear contact lens. They spend time with me make sure I was comfortable with everything. Highly recommend.
