Gregory G Hom, OD, MPH

My friend was panicked because his right eye became blurred and everything looked yellow. Since he doesn’t have insurance and doesn’t speak English he didn’t know what to do. We liked to help him andWe found out dr. Hom and called to Dr ‘s office to ask about his symptoms and if he can see a doctor. Dr. Hom arranged the time for my friend and did various careful examinations to diagnose him. It took 1 hour to find out his specific diagnosis.
He explained it very well and gave him an honesty opinion. We were so relieved.
In addition he charged only 60 dollars after all tests and exams.
We were really thankful .
I think Dr Hom has a heart for patients.

Dr. Hom is simply exceptional. He is such a kind, warm, and professional Doctor. I have been seeing him for almost 5 years now since I moved to San Diego. His office is convenient to get to and parking is never an issue. Debbie who runs the front office is so sweet and pleasant… always! I have never had to wait more than 5 min for my appointments. If you want a very nice eye doctor who always delivers then come here. He’s also great with kids too!

I have been Dr. Hom’s patient for the past 5 years and he is consistently professional, courteous, and accurate with his prescriptions. I am a contact lens wearer and he does an excellent job fitting them so that I get the best vision and comfort possible. I have also gone to him for other eye concerns and he is responsive and accurately diagnosed and treated them. His office staff also goes above and beyond. One time I went in to pick up my contacts and one of the receptionists noticed something wrong with my eye. I said I felt fine and didn’t need a check up and left. But apparently after I left, she brought up the concern to Dr. Hom and then he personally called me to recommend that I come in for an exam, so I did. And I was glad that I did because the problem was worse than I thought, but he gave me excellent recommendations and didn’t even charge me for the appointment. That is a level of customer service that stands out above the rest. Thank you Dr. Hom!

Dr. Hom is the best. I have only been to one other optometrist for my entire life– so after moving to SD I was a bit nervous to find a new optometrist.
Dr. Hom takes his time in getting to know his clients, spending as much time with me to go over my previous eye history and contacts and questions. His front office staff is so kind and always more than willing to help me with a spare contact when I have run out or can’t get home in time to get a new one.

Dr. Hom is easy to recommend. He is always on time, attentive to the patient’s needs, and generally very competent in his field. He makes you feel like he is working with you, and is usually available to explain or discuss any eye care situation.

2^nd visit with Dr. Hom. You walk in for your appointment and instantly start your exam. You don’t have to waste your time sitting around a waiting room. Gets your in and out within an hour. Professional and you can tell cares about his clients eyes.

As other reviewers state, Dr. Hom is professional, friendly and meticulous. What I appreciated most was that he thought about would be best for me, in terms of product and price. He didn’t try to sell me on new glasses (he told me I didn’t need them as my current pair is less than a year old). Nor did he upsell me on contact lenses — rather he asked what my usage was and recommended that I go with daily disposables since I would only need a couple of boxes for occasional wear.
Thank you Dr. Hom!

I’m new to the area and value Unilocal so much for the best of the best in the area. Dr. Hom took the time to help answer some very important questions that I ad regarding local eye surgeons. Because I’m new to the area I have no idea about what eye surgeons are the best, so I called this office to inquire and get their feedback. They were amazing and pointed me in a solid direction for my search. Thank you Dr. Home for taking the time and care in helping me find a solution to an upcoming medical need.

Excellent, caring doctor and staff with the latest medical technology. What more could you ask for?

After living in San Diego for 9 years and searching for a great optometrist I have finally found him. Highly recommended I took my daughter to see him on a Saturday. Very accommodating, highly professional, completely thorough with the exam and explanation of his recommendations. I am so glad that I’ve finally found a good optometrist. I will be coming to him for all of my family’s eye needs and will refer him to all my friends!

I’ve been going to Dr. Hom for 15 years and I’ve never been to a more thorough eye doctor. He takes his time to get your prescription right and he’s very present and patient with any questions you have. He’s simply the best. I still go to him even though I moved and it’s way out of my way now. If you are looking for a new eye doctor, you can’t go wrong with Dr. Hom. Your search has ended.

I can’t believe I haven’t left a review for Dr. Hom yet!
I’ve been seeing Dr. Hom for over 16 years now, as he was associated with a lot of Biotech companies when I was working in that industry way back when.
Well, my husband and school-​aged daughter and other family members are now his patients! He did the referral and follow up for my husband’s Lasik long ago. He is personable, attentive and always has the latest technology to incorporate into his exams and assessments. His staff, Debbie and Aileen are wonderful and have been there for a long time. I cannot bring myself to find another OD, while I may occasionally purchase my glasses elsewhere, my doctor will always remain Greg Hom!
Give Dr. Hom a try, he will turn out to be your lifelong optometrist for you and your family. (I’ve been a patient of his for soooo long, I think he’ll be the one to prescribe my mid life reading glasses/​bi-​focals…)

Highly recommend. The reviews on this doctor are spot on. Dr. Hom is excellent. His staff is wonderful.

Dr. Hom continues to provide amazing service — truly the Nordstrom of optometrists. I had a pair of spare glasses with a wire bottom that broke. The office placed the wire bottom back onto the frame for free, even though I had gotten neither the frame or the lens there, simply because I was a recent patient of his. When it was repaired, his office called to let me know my house was his way back to HIS house that evening, and he could stop by to drop off the glasses. WHAT??? I was too embarrassed to let him do that and went to the office to pick it up, but I was blown away by the offer.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Hom for the last 5 years, and I just saw him again today for my yearly eye exam. He is probably the best Optometrist in all of San Diego. He really cares for his patients. He takes the time to do a comprehensive eye exam. Very knowledgeable and experienced, He combines his expertise with a very caring and sweet staff. Thank you Dr. Hom and Debbie! You guys are terrific.

You don’t get so many five star reviews on Unilocal without being great at what you do, and Dr. Hom is all of that. He’s an excellent, patient doctor who gladly answers your questions so you feel very informed. His office is run efficiently by knowledgeable, helpful staff who are clearly very well-​trained. His Sorrento Valley office is not overrun or overbooked. It’s calm, peaceful and a perfect environment for this type of appointment. Every aspect of my experience was handled in an ideal manner, from the way all my insurance was approved by the practice in advance and all charges and credits explained to me to the way Dr. Hom examined me and made me feel like the health of my eyes (and my time) mattered. Very professional. Very high quality care. No wonder he gets off-​the-​charts reviews. He earns them. Applause!

I came here for a new glasses prescription. As a new patient, I was happy to hear all my insurance information had already been prepared upon arriving at my appointment. The eye exam was very comprehensive and included dilation and pressure test (which I never had at my previous optometrist). Dr. Hom was very easy to talk to and I felt very comfortable in his office. You can definitely tell he is a very knowledgeable and caring OD who is very thorough and detailed. I really appreciated that a lot of the frame prices were very affordable, and there was a good variety to choose from. I usually takes me a while for me to find something that suits my facial structure and the staff was very patient with me.
Edit — My glasses came in really quick! picked them up in just three days

I had an eye problem this morning and decided that it might be best to see an eye doctor. I searched around on Unilocal and saw that Dr. Hom had great reviews on Unilocal and decided to call in to schedule an appointment. Even though Dr. Hom was fully booked today, Eileen was super sweet and was able to squeeze me in.
The office is clean and everyone is friendly. What I liked was the speed and efficiency of the place. They didn’t overschedule patients so that people were waiting outside forever, but instead they really do take care of their patients and allot the quality time that is needed for each patient. Dr. Hom is knowledgeable and explained everything to me.
I’m so glad that I came to see Dr. Hom, I’ll definitely be back whenever I need eye care and I would recommend all of my friends to visit him as well!

As usual, Dr. Hom is AWESOME! I wholeheartedly agree with Tanya S. He is the nicest optometrist I’ve met and he’s extremely good at what he does, which is figuring out what my eyesight needs.
My eyesight has stabilized over the last few years, and some of the other optometrists that I’ve had were completely incompetent, ignoring my concerns and prescribing me the wrong contacts and eyeglasses prescriptions that worsened the condition of my eyes. Dr. Hom is different, he takes notes as we talk, not missing any details of our conversation. And he remembers all of the details year after year. He’s that caring. Also he never hesitates to answer my questions and doesn’t rush through the exam which is extremely nice. Also he never tries to upsell his products and services. When I opt out of certain exams he never criticizes my choices and only gives out his professional opinion without pressure.
Plus, he and his staff work on Saturdays when the entire building goes off work. He put some signs around his buildings to make sure that his patients get to see him at the office on Saturdays without confusion.
It also helps that many of my ex-​coworkers recommended him when I asked who to see for optometrist. Apparently he’s very popular on Unilocal,too! I’m not surprised.
Btw, they have the somewhat nerdy looking ‘Gunnar’ computer eyeglasses demonstration set up if you want to try them on. I did, and loved how they made my eyes feel while watching the bright screens. I’m seriously considering to purchase them in the future…

Came here for the first time yesterday, and I have to say that Dr Hom is a top notch optometrist, and his staff are excellent.
I needed a quick appointment, and they were really great at going out of their way to accommodate. Everyone was friendly professional and prompt.
They checked my insurance to find out exactly what was covered, let me know exactly how much any additional services would cost. I love when there are no surprises, which is generally not the case with most offices.
The exam was as comprehensive as it possibly could have been. I will definitely be using his office every time I need to, and will be sending friends and fam here too.
