April 2, 2022Michele W.Verified patient
This was my first visit and it was very pleasant. She noticed that my contact were too strong especially for sitting in front of my computer screen all day. She changed my prescription and I no longer get tension headaches. I had that previous prescription for over 5 years. I would definitely recommend this doctor.

I was very impressed with Dr. Tao and her staff. Very friendly - clear explanations (this was my first eye appt in over 15 years). Dr Tao lessened my concerns about some recent happenings with my vision and was really so polite and personal.

If I could have a Dr. Tao in every medical/health discipline, I can guarantee you I wouldn’t avoid going for yearly checkups. Extremely friendly and funny. She takes the time to analyze and thoroughly explain any issues or concerns to patients for them to understand the direction they should take to better their eye health.

Had a great experience and Dr.Tao was very helpful in diagnosing my problem with my contact lenses. Very professional and nice team from the moment I walked in! Will be sure to come back for my next annual or any other reasons that could arise with my eyes!
October 3, 2021Meliz G.Verified patient
Dr. Tao and the entire office staff was wonderful - very friendly and helpful. The office is clean and welcoming. It was also a very thorough exam all around. The only downside of the experience is that the full visit took 2 hours (my appointment was at 11:10 and I didn't leave until 1:10. This is in part due to the fact that this was a very thorough exam, so I will expect a longer visit next time. It was also due to a delay in the schedule. Overall it was a great experience and I recommend this office and this Dr. highly. I will plan for a longer visit next time!

July 16, 2021Kaylee B.Verified patient
make sure when you go in that the test they give you is cover by your insurance. so that you do not receive a surprise bill. i was told that mines were but they were not. surprise.
July 2, 2021Mayzella J.Verified patient
The office is very small but nice and clean. The staff are very warm and inviting and help along in the steps prior to seeing the doctor. They take eye images and scans that the doctor then uses. The wait time is a little long, but overall it was really good. My son liked his visit!
April 5, 2021Ayden C.Verified patient
Dr Tao was wonderful! She embraced all of my little questions and was open to explaining the science behind her answers. She was wonderful in keeping my 6 year old calm during his first eye appointment too.
April 5, 2021Sara E.Verified patient
Dr Tao was lovely and responsive. Plus she was knowledgeable about some weird family history that many previous doctors were not. Definitely feel like I am in good hands with her.

I came to Dr. Tao because she was recommended for my daughter (6yrs old). My daughter's visit went so well, I changed my optometrist and scheduled a visit with Dr. Tao before leaving the office.

Great doctor, very informative
December 19, 2020Shana Y.Verified patient
We had an intelligent conversation about my current and past issues with my vision and my eyes. She listened carefully. And she made me aware of how my new prescription has changed in each eye since my previous eye exam.
October 23, 2020William C.Verified patient
Dr Tao is very knowledgeable and up to date in her field. She took the time to go over all the exam results with me... I was blown away by her competency ... no other eye Dr ever went over these level of details with me... She is amazing!

Patricia P.Verified patient
Dr. Tao took me exactly on time. The office was very nice and had updated equipment. Dr. Tao was very thorough and knowledgeable. Would definitely go back.
September 19, 2020Erica D.Verified patient
After my first visit I’m already writing my review for Dr. Tao. Very polite and friendly along with her staff. She was the first eye doctor that I felt made use of modern technology to analyze my entire makeup as a patient and used that in her prescription. Amazingly she pointed that my last few prescriptions have actually been too strong which was a main factor in my headaches and stress - something no other doctor has ever pointed out even though I always list those two symptoms in my patient profile. I would strongly recommend her to anyone without hesitation.
September 19, 2020Vincent N.Verified patient
The doctor as well as the office staff were so attentive, professional and friendly. I’m so glad I found this office so close to home!
August 22, 2020Tracie M.Verified patient
This was my first medical appointment since the COVID pandemic, and the attention to sanitization and safety put me at ease. Everyone was very kind and attentive, and I would definitely recommend Dr. Tao. She explained everything very clearly, and I was very satisfied with my visit.
July 2, 2020Jacquelene W.Verified patient
I think Dr. Clare was probably the nicest optometrist I've ever met! She was exceptionally thorough, even though my prescription isn't very serious. If you want a really thoughtful and kind doctor who takes your health and eye health seriously, I suggest seeing her!
