Visit was great! I learned some things from Cynthia Burlingame, OD about my vision that I never knew before. That's always a win in my book. I also felt heard and understood. The check-in was good, the vision tests were good, Cynthia was good, the check-out was good. It was a great experience all around.

I loved Dr. Burlingame. My appointment was very thorough. She was able to explain every procedure she was doing and the reasons why they were important. I learned a lot about my eyes and why they are the way they are. The staff was polite, funny and professional. The office is very clean and well kept. I have already recommended this practice to family and friends. I can’t say enough good things.
June 23, 2023Scotland H.Verified patient
I love this office and Dr. Burlingame! I had to move out of town for a year and honestly couldn’t wait to get back to see my eye doctor. Dr. Burlingame is very competent at what she does and has saved my eyes from the wrong prescription from other providers twice.
May 30, 2023Melanie B.Verified patient
Dr. Cindy is the best!! I’ve only been going to her for 20 years. She’s treated all my family from parents and siblings. To now my spouse and my kids.
I highly recommend her and this office!
March 23, 2023Aimee F.Verified patient
Dr. Burlingame explained all tests and what the results meant for me. This was the best experience I have had with an optometrist in 40 years of wearing glasses. The optician who helped me was outstanding, and the whole office staff made me feel like I was welcome and that they were truly invested in helping me have the best vision possible.

Had a great experience with Dr. Burlingame. She is an excellent communicator. Listened to my concerns and gave me information that eased my mind about my recent decline in eyesight. I would definitely return.
June 16, 2021Rose Ann P.Verified patient
Dr. Burlingame is so good at what she does! I truly don't know if my eyes have ever been cared so well for. She is very kind, is very knowledgable, and I appreciate her taking ample amount of time to discuss concerns I had. I did not feel like I was being rushed out. Highly recommend! Office staff was very kind as well and I did not have to wait.
