Glendale Optometric Center

As good as it gets. Wonderful and caring staff. Newest and latest in eyewear. Up to date technology and instruments. Knowledgable and personable doctors.
I had brought my girlfriend’s dad for a medical examination and was impressed by the level of care provided by Glendale Optometric Center. The staff and doctor toke their time with him and explained each test. We left the office knowing more about the eyes and a much better understanding of the condition that he is dealing with. Thank you for being true professionals!

Professional, nice and reasonably priced. Dr. Gin also has a very impressive fish trophy on the wall – Ask her about it!

I had been going to see Dr. Nishi years ago (before I got into Unilocal). He’s very thorough and caring. I have a history of issues with my vision and he was able to help address them and check up on them. I’m happy my insurance allows me to go back.

Nice people, good service, –1 star for waiting… Had appointment for 10 am, didn’t see the doctor till 11.30…

I had a most pleasurable experience dealing with Daisy today. I needed some help and she stepped up and help me in my situation, even though she didn’t really have to. Daisy is an amazing person who understands what customer service is all about. I will be recommending this Center to all my co-​workers and anyone I know who need Optometry Services. Thank you again Daisy for your wonderful kindness.

5 stars all around. From their iPad sign in, to the toys for kids in the waiting room, to the massive assortment of designer frames, to the utter CARE that Dr. Gin pours into each visit, I have never been more satisfied with my optometrist. They have the highest technology that exists in terms of inspecting the eyes for glaucoma, etc. For example, they literally took a 3D picture of my entire eyeball and I could see everything, all huge and blown-​up, veins and all. Dr. Gin is extremely informative, making sure you understand step-​by-​step what the health of your eyes are. VERY highly recommended and loving my new Tiffany & Co. frames. Thank you, Dr. Gin and Staff — for the wonderful experience.

Stacey, Dale, and their newer Doctors are nice and great with patients. But their receptionist, of all people… can be rude and throw whatever attitude she feels like… I’ve been with them for 5+ years I believe and everything was perfect until she arrived.
Last straw was this morning when I wanted to come in to check my eyes for possible pink eye. I was going to be 5mins late so I made a courtesy call. She just told me that I’ll have to come back after 5hours (next available appt) and I tried to explain my situation being it was pretty urgent. She then said ok, that she’ll try to tell the doctor — in a certain tone. I was like… I guess it’s time for me find another office.

What a friendly and efficient place! Dr. Nishi has such a gentle, friendly energy. He takes the time to really explain what is going on as well as connect with you as a person. I’ve been here twice now and have absolutely no reason to go anywhere else.

The doctors here have always been great but their front office billing is either inept of fraudulent. Twice I have paid in full at the time of my visit only to be sent a bill 60 – 90 days later requesting an additional payment with no explanation as to the additional fee. On another visit I was charged for a service I never received. After perusing Unilocal reviews I’ve found this to be a common complaint. You’ve been warned.

I have been a patient of Dr. Gin’s for a few years now and I cannot rave enough about the excellent services provide by her and her team. Dr. Gin is very personable and kind. She is very thorough and timely in conducting the examination and explains everything very clearly. I would highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking for a great optometrist.

Yep. This was a good choice. Efficient, timely and professional from A — Z. I can absolutely recommend Dr. Gin and her entire staff to anyone needing optometric care.

I have been a patient for over five years. Dr. Nishi is my optometrist. He’s very pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. I like that he takes his time with you and answers all your questions/​concerns. The reception staff is always very courteous and friendly. I also, get my contact lens and eye glass prescriptions filled here as well. They have an excellent selection of frames at reasonable rates. Oh, and did i mention they have Saturday appointments?! I LOVE that since my work schedule is so hectic this is really a convenient option.

Great Doctors and great Service !!!
Thanks for the many years of eye care.
Drs Nishi and Gin and staff are the best
Thanks for caring for my eye care,

I love going to this place! Everyone is so professional and friendly. It’s a homey environment but more importantly, i always feel so well taken care of. The Doctors are top notch, the staff super friendly and the eye glass selection is great!

Glendale Opt Ctr has the most friendly doctors and staff of any medical center I have ever been to. They allow you to schedule appointments electronically, and they even send you photos of your inner eye scan. It’s so cool. They remember you, year after year, and that makes me feel very special there. I have been going there since 2008, and I plan to continue for the rest of my years! Thank you, GOC!

I love this place! Very easy to make appointments. I was able to have my eyes checked in just a few days after calling. Kaiser Permanente would require a wait of several months to schedule an appointment for an eye exam. After dealing with Kaiser for many years. I am very happy to have found a professional office that really takes care of their customers.
Dr. Jeffrey Nishi was my optometrist. He was very cordial, professional, and down to earth. He took the time to review my Fundus Photography (Picture of my eyeball). He showed me the location of my optic nerve and retina. He then proceeded to teach me what he was looking for in a healthy eye. I was very impressed, and wished more Health Care Professional would follow his example!
When I returned to pickup my eyeglasses. I was met with same friendly courteous service. They took special care to adjust my glasses, and made sure the lenses were spotless and dust free. My hats off to you! I could not have asked for any better service! I wish I could give you Ten Stars!!!

I see Dr. Nishi. I’ve been going here for 5 years now, originally as someone who needs glasses and contacts, and now post-​laser eyes as someone just doing the yearly checkups. Great and friendly service from all staff. They have a great selection in frames and lenses, and Dr. Nishi is happy to go into detail if you need. He also has never made me feel rushed, and is focused during the appointment.
Highly recommended.

Trust these reviews — Dr. Gin was super! We brought our three year old in for an exam and she was so kind, gentle, and enthusiastic. My daughter had no fear and actually enjoyed herself. (This helped mom and dad, too!)

Excellent customer service!
Greg was great, very patient, and polite.
Highly recommended.

Second update:
Went in for full eye exam for contacts and glasses, parking was easy in their lot, staff was helpful in getting a quick appointment. The range of exams and tests they perform is impressive and makes you see that they are checking your eye health too, not just vision: retina photographs, field of view, optic nerve check, glaucoma, and more. Dr Gin was very attentive to my concerns about contact irritation and was ultra diligent in checking my vision. Although my prescription had not changed I felt confident that my eyes were healthy and would stay that way with her suggestions on new cleaning solutions. Very impressive, very nice and professional. Highly recommended.
update: a year later I am Looking forward to making an appointment and going back and experiencing their service which they felt would be a great one… that would be nice as it would be great to have a go-​to place you can trust. Stay tuned…
