It was my first time seeing Dr. Chow, I was helped very quickly even with COVID-19 procedures. They take your temperature right outside and everything they were doing before seeing the doctor was well explained and all the people working there were all so sweet and nice. Im so happy I came here. The doctor was so nice and funny too! Definitely happy that I chose to come here.

Dr Chow did a comprehensive eye exam on both my parents (87 yo). She was so patient, knowledgeable and showed real care for the health of their eyes (like repeating a few tests to make a professional decision about their eyes’ health). She spoke Spanish with them. It was a very satisfying experience. Her staff was kind and professional. Highly recommend anyone seeking a comprehensive eye exam with a true caring professional. Dr Chow is a fantastic optometrist.
August 11, 2019Francisco C.Verified patient

Quality care from Dr. Chow and her staff. I was very comfortable the entire time and didn't feel rushed or pressured. Explanations were clearly articulated. Secret tip: there is a parking lot behind the building with a few spots for patients.

I LOVE Dr.Chow, she is the only doctor I always always always look forward to going too and she is super friendly, very funny and I have a huge smile on my face from the moment I walk in her door to the moment I leave.

Dr. Chow is awesome. She asks about my vision, my health, my kids...all to make sure my holistic wellness needs are being met. I was sad when Dr. Wolfe retired and then his wife retired but I feel like I am in excellent hands with Dr. Chow.
July 27, 2018Ayanna V.Verified patient
Dr. Chow cares a lot about her patients' comfort with their eyewear (I have glasses and contacts). She is very personable and makes me feel as if I am visiting a friend rather than going to the eye doctor. I admire her thoroughness and attention to detail, and I highly appreciate her willingness to answer all of my questions.
