I thought Dr. Sirounian was great and shared some very helpful at-home treatments to relieve my dry eyes. I also appreciated that I was seen immediately and not kept waiting. The shop and treatment rooms were clean and the front desk staff very friendly.

Quite a lovely eye doctor who was very patient, as well as educational and informative. The LipiFlo procedure felt amazing! Looking forward to my follow up appointment.

Dr. Sona Sirounian is amazing. My husband and I were expecting a normal eye visit. Dr. Sirounian made our visit fun and educational. She gave us plenty of information on how to take care of our vision. She helped us pick our glasses. She is amazing. She took the time to answer our questions. I highly recommend her.
September 22, 2015Lisa J.Verified patient
Kind of Rude and condesandant,
I came early for my appointment , she was not friendly at all .
I can tell she was stress maybe because she has not help .
Trying to cut corners but at the end her new clients pay for it.
While i was having my exam, customers came to her store and she dropped my exam to help them and try to sell them, like I am chopped liver or something left me waiting on the exam room for a long time , no respect , no common sense .
She kept me waiting and i couldn't handle it ,so spoke up .
She tried to fake appologized but didn't work, not very real.
I got my prescription and left.
She is not a bad person but she definitely need to focus on what she is good at, her practice.
Get some help or hire someone.
greed doesn't pay .
Developing relationships with your customers to clients will.
repetitive satisfaction will.
October 12, 2015Rene M.Verified patient
Dr. Sirounian was both professional as well as friendly with me during my yearly eye exam. I never felt as though I was being brushed off as "just another patient" like with so many other physicians. She took the time to actually talk to me and get to know me during my exam.
She also carefully explained every activity that she was doing, since it had been a while since my last eye exam. It was great to understand what each step was for, and how it affected me.
Wonderful experience, and will absolutely be using her from now on!
August 20, 2015John J.Verified patient
She is awesome :)
August 7, 2015Bette A.Verified patient
I needed to find a new Optometrist and booked Dr. Sirounian because she had an appointment time that worked for me and ended up loving the experience! She got my prescription right on my first visit, and I felt like my previous Optometrist never got it quite right. I needed new contact lenses and a pair of glasses with my new prescription and she put a rush order on them so I didn't have to wait long. She was very nice and patient with me while I tried on a million frames. I'll definitely be going back to her for all future eye exams.
August 12, 2015Claire L.Verified patient
Sona needs a secretary or someone to manage her schedule and (especially) answer the phone for her. One person working the office is not enough.
The customer patient before me ran over 20 minutes into my appointment because Sona had to assist her trying to pick out glasses. I was warned by that she was behind schedule when I first checked in but again, someone else could be hired to help with a task like this.
Then my appointment was constantly interrupted by Sona answering phone calls and checking cell phone messages throughout. She apologized for the interruptions but took advantage of my patience.
This was a work day during my lunch break and I ended up getting back to work very late because of all the delays. It was very frustrating and inconvenient. I'm sure Sona is great at her job and works hard but the professional environment was very unsatisfactory for me as her customer.

Best eye doctor appointment I've ever had -- no exaggeration. Both the doctor and the front desk lady were a pleasure to deal with, and helped me decide on the right contacts and glasses. Also, the eye exam itself was not even nearly as uncomfortable as it usually is.

Dr. Sona and Elena were great. They both were very clear in explaining the benefits of my new progressive lenses for my glasses. And Elena was fantastic with helping out on the frame selection as well. And I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new optometrist that really gives you personal attention and care.
