Dr Takara was a joy to work with. She explained each part of the process she was doing and made me feel comfortable during the examination. I'd highly recommend seeing her.
August 26, 2019Jordan W.Verified patient
I am happy with the eye care that Dr. Takara provided. She made sure that everything was clear to me and gave me time to go over any questions I had during the visit. I would recommend her to a friend or family member!
August 12, 2019Paul M.Verified patient
Dr. Takara and the tech that treated me were very nice and professional. It would have been nice to get more if a warning for the more intense parts of the exam (bright lights, blurry vision from dilation). The reception staff were pretty unfriendly, unfortunately.
August 2, 2019Adam W.Verified patient
Excellent communication and recommendations.
July 2, 2019Gary P.Verified patient
Nice doctor, but terrible service and waste of time. They will schedule a time for you to come in, but you won't actually see the doctor till 30-60 minutes later. Which I don't understand why they set up appointment times if they are not going to honor them. When my trial contacts finally came in, which took about 4-6 weeks, one of the contact lens was wrong. Then they wanted me to still wait around, after already waiting around for them. They called me back a week later to say my correct lens was in. So I pick up the contacts and one of the lens wasn't even in the package!! I thought about going back in since they said they had an extra lens for me, but honestly, it's not worth the headache. I was shocked by the service because the staff is so nice. Good luck if you go here! I know I sure won't ever go back.
July 2, 2019Ashley J.Verified patient
Dr Takara is very kind and answers any and all questions you might have! Very real and honest, and I prefer her to anyone else I’ve had. It’s always pleasant going in for an appointment!
June 19, 2018Ashley K.Verified patient
I had scheduled an appointment for prescription contacts and was very satisfied overall. Everyone was kind and polite. I felt the care I received was high quality. I had several questions and the staff took time to answer them. Thank you!

February 8, 2017Earl B.Verified patient
The office was very busy. The Doctor did not introduce herself when coming into the exam room. Everything felt rather rushed and everyone seemed a bit stressed.
January 4, 2017Initials hidden
The receptionist were very welcoming and professional. I'd made an error regarding my insurance and they were by far the most reassuring ladies I have ever met and helpful in getting the correct information. Joanne Takara, OD, was also the same. Very sweet and reassuring that I will be receiving the eye care needed. This was my first visit but it will NOT be my last.
December 24, 2016Patrice R.Verified patient
Best Doc and very nice staffs
