Michael Cooper, OD

I found Dr. Cooper through a family member’s recommendation. I see him for my annual eye exam. He is very thorough. I’ve been completely satisfied with his care and service as he takes the time to explain everything. I highly recommend him.

Great staff– clean, high tech equipment and the doctors really take their time to explain things. A+!

I found Dr. Cooper through my insurance. It was the first time I have used his office. Very convenience hours and nice office. Staff is wonderful too. I have to admit, I was really impressed the service I received (new contacts).
Dr. Cooper and his staff worked with me to ensure my contacts were a perfect fit. He let me try 4 different pair to find the perfect fit! I would have thrown myself out on the street! Thank you Dr. Cooper!

For years, I had been going to an optometrist in Poway. I live in Escondido so when someone recommended Dr. Cooper, I was very excited. I think Dr. Cooper is excellent and have no hesitations about him at all. Although he is the best optometrist I have ever been to, the demeanor and work ethic of some of his office staff are making me go right back to my former office in Poway.

Had my first appointment the other week and was very pleased. This is a well established, beautiful office and fully staffed.
Dr. Cooper spent nearly two hours with me as a first time patient and was very thorough. They all had good bedside manner and coffee

Dr. Cooper was excellent and very comprehensive at both examining and explaining the problems with my eyes. Staff were good and seemed competent. They allowed me to take home some glasses to compare the look with my wife. All in all a very easy and straightforward experience.

My husband and I both saw Dr. Cooper and were really impressed with his thorough eye exam. The office was really clean, the staff was very personable and I would certainly recommend this place to any family or friends.

Dr. Cooper is very professional. But one particular member of the staff should go. She brings down this practice. Lauren and Misty are friendly and approachable. But, seriously, Betsy MUST go! She brought down my review by two stars. That’s how much she affects this business.

Dr. Cooper and his staff have worked with my family for many years now. They are professional, courteous, and always looking for ways to provide the highest quality care for our eyes.

DR. Cooper is Great! Front desk very personable and very willing to assist

I have been a patient of Dr. Cooper for almost 20 years since we moved to Escondido. He is very competent and professional. I had radial keratotomy (RK) surgery done back in 1990 by a surgeon in SD and originally saw him just for follow up. But, over the last 6 – 7 years, my close-​up vision started to get worse. Treating/​prescribing for eyes that have had surgery can be challenging, but Dr. Cooper has helped me with progressive lenses glasses and more recently with converting to progressive contact lenses. His office has a website where you can schedule an appointment online and you get a text the day before reminding you of your appointment. I have been very happy with the care I receive at Dr. Cooper’s office and highly recommend him.

My family has gone to this office for 32 years. Dr Manell was amazing and took great care of all of his patients. A few years ago, Drs Cooper and Breen took over. I was given inaccurate measurements for my contacts and went through problem after problem, going through six month’s worth of lenses in about two months. When I called and explained my situation, I was told I was able to see Dr Cooper, but there would be a charge. B.S. Their prices are already ridiculously high for frames and lenses, and now I have to pay for you to see what your office did wrong?! Dr Manell never charged me to follow up with any issues I had, he appreciated us and treated me like family. Being looked at as a dollar sign and not a lifelong loyal customer is why they lost my business.
Today, my mom told me that she called Dr Cooper’s office to cancel her appointment. Betsy told her that she had cancelled 10 times in 22 years. My mom told her she had been with them 32 years, and what does it matter? Betsy said due to her record, she was not allowed to schedule appointments any more until the day of. Who the hell does that?! Who does she think she is?! I have never heard of anyone having the audacity to say such a thing to a customer, especially one of 32 years. This office is terrible and I hope anyone that reads this decides to take their business to an office that understands customer service and doing what’s right, as well as what it means to appreciate your patients.

Dr. Cooper is excellent, thorough, and clear. I have the CRT lenses, and although it’s taken some time to find the right one’s, he has continually worked hard to find the best one’s!!!

Just saw Dr. Michael J. Cooper’ yesterday, and he was as good and thorough as ever! My husband and I have been going to Dr. Cooper for years, and he is probably the most patient optometrist in the world! He explains everything clearly and does the examination thoroughly. These days it is not all that easy to find a doctor who actually listens to you and does his best to help you find the right lens/​contact lens. I have recommended Cooper to my colleagues.

I have been coming to this office for too many years to count. When Dr. Manell retired, I continued with Lisa Breen. I feel very confident in the professionalism of this office, and love the way they work with you on personal preferences. My other had some very serious eye issues, and they handled her with compassion and professionalism. Recommend.

Rude and incompetent front desk service. Since the old optometrist left (Dr. Menel), it has really gone down hill. The doctors are ok, but the front desk staff doesn’t track appointments, forgetting to input them into their system, loses records, and has issues with professionalism.
The prices for glasses and contacts are well overpriced, leaving one to wonder if the office gets a kickback. Overall, I would find another group in Escondido if your insurance allows it.

I see Dr. Cooper once a year for my exams. He’s very pleasant, thorough, detailed, but understandable. I recommend!

I’ve been a patient here for almost ten years, and my spouse has been since childhood. It’s a good professional office, and they get you in and out for checkups quickly and thoroughly.
The frame selection is so-​so. They take VSP.

Dr. Cooper is OK. Buy stay away from buying your glasses and frames here.
