Steven R Kleen Optometric Corporation

It’s true. Dr. Kleen is the real thing, a true professional. He took time not only to give me a comprehensive examination, but to ask about my vision experiences and my needs, so that I would not be leaving with less (or more) than what I needed. The last local optometrist I visited wanted to sell my husband and I everything under the sun… so it’s nice having a doctor who gives me credit for understanding what I want, and don’t want. Don’t let the «Walmart» stigma fool you — just see it as a top-​notch optometrist with offices in a very convenient location.

I regret coming to this place. Dr Kleen is a very old man, i think he needs to just stay in the home care facility forever!!!

I LOVE coming here for my exams. Dr. Kleen is always pleasant and very professional. He’s also very informative! I’ve never had a doctor take a picture of my eye and explain the difference between my eye and a cataract one. He showed me the difference between a typical vein and one of a person who has diabetes.
The office is very clean and the price for an exam is extremely reasonable.

I can not believe that I found such an AMAZING eye doctor in my local WalMart! Dr. Steven R. Kleen… Where have you been all my life??? Oh, Walmart.
My son is extremely far sighted and needs to be seen once a year. We have Kaiser and as anyone with Kaiser knows… sometimes it is easier to go elsewhere and pay cash. I needed new glasses for him before the school year and I did not want to return to our old optometrist (in E. Highland). The eye doctor was good, but the office staff was awful, rude, no personalities… then they would tell you 5 business days to pick up glasses and it ALWAYS ended up being 3 weeks! But that would be another Unilocal review.
So, while picking up a few things for our upcoming camping trip at Walmart, I noticed how busy the Optometrist office was. Hmmm. That means he’s good. «Walk ins Welcome» Ah Huh. That means I can get him an eye exam right now. «Come on, son! Your getting an eye exam!» What could be better then being able to shop while you wait? I figured it would be a rude «just-​take-​a-​number» Walmart employee and some random first year eye doctor. All I stood to lose was $ 58.
How wrong I was!
Once you walk in the office, you don’t feel like you are in Walmart at all!
The girl at the front desk had a waiting room full of people, was on the phone with someone who obviously had many, many questions, she’s on her feet making copies, setting up files, lining up the next clipboard for the doctor to take, going into the next room to give the patients the preliminary eye exam, answering more calls… and in between, answer my questions with a sweet tone in her voice and a cute smile. I did ask her if she ever had time for lunch. I was exhausted just watching her! Very sweet, very nice, obviously loves her job.
I wasn’t bogged down with 50 sheets to fill out. One page. Then, sign here… and minutes later, the doctor calls us in with a humorous comment obviously meant to ease my son and make me laugh. He was not a random first year doctor. He wasn’t quite the «dinosaur» he described himself to be, but he was DEFINETELY the most experienced and knowledgeable I had ever been to. It didn’t matter how busy he was. He took the time to sit with me after the exam and explain my son’s condition so I could understand and in a way it had never been explained to me before.
Then BAM! Lights go out! BLACKOUT! Dr. Kleen sat there and kept on chatting like it wasn’t pitch black with emergency lights blinking and pure chaos erupting in the store. I joked and asked him if this happens all the time and he said never in all his years has he ever had a blackout in the middle of an exam.
Well, I started to feel a bit of a panic attack coming on. I am afraid, err, terrified of the dark (don’t judge me!) and cute, sweet girl up front, still happy and found a moment to eat a cup of noodles, saw I was nervous and she gave me the cutest smile and said to me, «Do you want a Jolly Rancher?»
I laughed so hard that I completely felt at ease, calmed down and actually heard my children begging me to let go of them, I was squeezing too tight.
Long story for an eye exam? But it’s not a story of an eye exam. It’s a story about how I found my family’s new Optometrist, in, of all places, Wamart.

Let me first tell you I have been to 3 optometrists in the past 6 months. To find one that really takes the time for you and listens to your concerns is a find to say the least. Well I found that optometrist. The doctor at Wall-​Mart is one of the very best I have ever been to. He took his time and made me feel very comfortable when fitting my contacts. I was given all information about all my choices. I was not rushed at all which is very nice. I was given several different contacts to wear at a week at a time until I felt comfortable with the correct lens. I am so happy with the outcome. I would recommend this Vision Center to everyone that wants that person on person comfort. One of the best for sure!
