San Diego Vision Care Optometry: Joseph Toth, OD

I’m impressed. The doctor was super helpful and there was no up-​selling or even a suggestion to buy glasses through them. He gave me an exam, talked to me about my options, and sent me on my way. RX in hand.
Sadly, the parking just plain sucks. You can try parking at Murphy’s like I did :)

Just came back home from picking up my FITH PAIR OF GLASSES FROM HERE! (((: Dr. Toth, is AMAZING! I’ve been coming to his practice for about five years now & I have nothing but good things to say! To start off the office is really clean & organized. The staff at the front desk is friendly & helpful. They are always more than willing to help with any questions you have regarding prices, glasses fitting, & more. Dr. Toth is super patient & explains everything from the core. He’s honest with you & he will never try to sell you something that you don’t need! (As a college student that’s a PLUS+++ in my book). I remember when I came here for contacts instead of glasses I was so nervous. I thought I was going to poke my eye. It took me almost an hour just to get my contacts on (embarrassing, I know) but both him & his staff were very encouraging & helpful. He has been my optometrist for a long time & my sisters optometrist for just as long. & I will not move to another practice. Another good thing is that the bus leaves you across the street (if you take public transportation) & parking isn’t that bad to find. He also gives discounts! (They vary. So just ask!) Dr. Toth, thank you, thank you, thank you! I always leave as a happy customer! (((:

Dr. Toth is a great optometrist. He was patient, kind, and answered all of my questions. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful. The office is easy enough to locate and very close to my apt so thats a plus. They have a nice selection of glasses as well. The only thing that was somewhat inconvenient was parking. There is only street parking but you know not too bad of a problem. All in all my my visit was great. Would definetly recommend this office and optometrist.

My wife and I had a great experience here. The receptionist really helped us out with our insurance benefits. That stuff is really confusing to us, so her time explaining in detail our options was greatly appreciated. The doc was awesome too. He worked with us and was thorough with his exam.

This was my first visit to San Diego Vision Care and I was highly impressed. Being in the medical field, I know customer service and that’s exactly what I got. Dr Toth was professional and took the time to answer all my questions and both Elizabeth and Briana the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Yes parking is a challenge, but the personal care I received made up for that. Would I recommend San Diego Vision? YES without hesitation

While I really liked the optometrist himself (super friendly, very professional and takes his time with you), his receptionists aren’t the very best.
I called in to check a return policy for my new glasses, which won’t stay on my face. Solid frames are sliding off of my face constantly, even after being adjusted. The woman puts me «on hold» and hangs up on me instead. I call back and suddenly, she can’t hear me, I call back a third time and she explains that there is no return policy on glasses.
The receptionist are not at all friendly, I don’t even think I’ve seen them smile once, and not having a return policy seems ridiculous. I wouldn’t recommend purchasing glasses through them, but getting a normal check up with the doc would be great.

Dr. Toth and his team are very knowledgeable and provide the patient with the most attentive service. I went in for my yearly vision exam and to order contacts for both my husband and myself.
Dr. Toth is very thorough and never rushes the appointment, he answers all questions very patiently and clearly. I always leave happy and satisfied with all my vision concerns and needs.
The girls in the front desk explain every detail and are very courteous.
I’ve been to several ophthalmology places before, but I can honestly say this is the best one with the best service I’ve encountered.

I found Dr. Toth through
and I am quite pleased with his services. He is easy going and very knowledgeable. He chose the best prescription for my contacts and new glasses. He gave me a 20% discount on contacts when ordering on the same day as my eye exam, which saved me a lot of money than ordering online from other sources. Also, his staff is very helpful and personable. They took care of all the patients that were walking in as fast and efficiently as possible.
I highly recommend San Diego Vision Care to anyone looking for an affordable eye exam. I’ll definitely be going back to Dr. Toth for all my vision needs!

Found them on Unilocal,and was very pleased. The staff were really sweet and caring, I had to reschedule my appointment at the last minute because I had a bad cold, and they were very accomodating. Dr. Toth was thorough, and friendly… Bonus points: didn’t try to upsell glasses as I have to go through a charity to get my frames as I’m on disability. My only beef is the parking, but that’s not something they really have control over. Definitely be back when I need an exam again!

I was referred here by a good friend and I’m so happy I went! Dr Toth and staff are very friendly and helpful. I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 8 and contacts since I was a freshman in high school. So I’ve had a few eye doctors already!
Office is a little small but very well kept. Parking is street only but I didn’t have any trouble finding a spot. I don’t know why more people haven’t written a review but I knew I would!
Thanks Dr Toth and staff! I’ll see you guys next year :)

I’m so happy to have found my new eye doctor. I chose this location because they accept my insurance, Eyemed and I was very pleased with their Unilocal reviews. Dr. Toth and his staff are so helpful and very nice. I am so excited to get my new pair of glasses and contacts I orders tonight! Prices are very reasonable and they gave a great selection of glasses!

First visit went smoothly, not so for my step daughters exam. So far we’ve waited 52 minutes after arriving for our appointment on time. Needless to say we won’t be back.

Dr. Toth is great! We were very comfortable and it did not feel like anything was being pushed on us. Answered all my questions and was very professional with my daughter and I. I am very pleased with the doctor. Staff could use some «finesse» and please if you speak to a person in Spanish and the person responds to you in English, please speak English back. Looks can be deceiving and not everyone who «looks» Hispanic, speaks Spanish. Againg dr. was great! I will definitely go back if needed.

Dr. Joe Toth is such great optometrist. He actually figured out that I have a slight astigmatism and prescribed the RIGHT contacts for me. That change immediately made a difference with my vision and my overall happiness. The office is a bit small but that doesn’t matter when you’re not going to be spending your whole day there. I always felt awkward having someone’s face so close to mine for the exam but he totally put me at ease. The pricing is affordable and his front desk staff is very friendly.

I highly recommend this place to people who want top of the line service. Ive been struggleling trying to find a good doctor who is able to accurately diagnose the vision problem on my left eye. The Doctor at this place was very patient and professional with me during my whole exam. The prices are reasonable and I was able to use my VSP insurance without any problem. I can honestly say the doctor here seems to really care about his patients concerns. I left my appointment happy and satisfied that I finally found a great Doctor. I will be coming back to this Doctor!!!
Fyi — the ladies in the front office are very nice and i was called in to the doctors room right away! I cant ask for anything else.

Optometrist was very nice and informative. I’m new to San Diego and I’m glad I found a good optometrist just a couple blocks from home.
Tip: There is no parking lot. Street parking is tough in the afternoon/​evening but plentiful during the day. There is a supermarket just a couple doors down and I usually just park there and walk over.

I was up for an eye exam and since my insurance was up for renewal and I was paying out of pocket, I was in search of a Dr. that could offer me something quick and affordable. After calling around to a few Costco’s (where I was not satisfied with the attention or care that I had previously received), I found Dr. Toth and I couldn’t be happier! To top things off, I found an online coupon online through
(you have to sign up but it’s worth it) which put him at the best price in town for an eye exam.
Not one to sacrifice quality for price, I called for an appointment, the staff was extremely friendly and told me that they could take me that same day. I went in and was attended to immediately. Dr. Toth was friendly, very professional and knowledgeable. He explained everything to me and gave me great eye care advice. I really appreciated that they did not try to upsell me, the overall level of professionalism and the fact that he actually seemed genuinely concerned with my eye care.
I definitely recommend Dr. Toth and San Diego Vision Care Optometry to anyone who is in search of eye care! Not only is he the most affordable eye care that I found, but you can rest assured that you will not be sacrificing quality and professionalism over price. Thank you very much, Dr. Toth!

Dr. Toth and his staff at San Diego Vision Care Optometry truly are as good as it gets! He was able to fit me in last minute and they welcomed me there as if I were VIP. my insurance was accepted and the paperwork on my end was minimal, which is always a plus as a patient. He has an amazing patient/​doctor rapport and he puts you at ease while still explaining everything. You could not ask for a better experience! I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone who is in search of eye care! Thanks to Dr. Toth and staff, I am no longer scared to go to the optometrist!

We found an optometrist that takes Tricare prime and that does not make you pay them BEFORE they get paid.
We went to another optometrist (Dr. Jasmine Nguyen, also in City Heights) for a few years now and upon research this is not what all offices MUST do to get paid. (more about that later)
Anyhow, my son says: They treated him very kind. He was able to go take care of his eyes for his first time wearing contacts and for an eye exam.
I am extremely pleased with the outcome. It is is also VERY close to my home and located here in City Heights.
What a great place to use your military benefits for an eye exam.

I would recommend Dr. Toth and the staff at San Diego Vision Care, everyone was helpful. My appointment started on time, which is very important to me! He took time to fit me in the right contacts for my eyes and I have had no issues with my new contacts. I will continue to see Dr. Toth!
