West Coast Optometry

Dr, Bowman took over a practice of a VERY popular optometrist in Tustin many years ago. He won over all the patients with his calm manner and professionalism. He asks questions, listens and offers advice at each office visit. If you have an emergency, they always manage to fit you in and see you the same day. I can’t give enough praise to Dr. Bowman and his staff (Sherry is AWESOME!!)

This place is a joke! I got my eye exam at this place for the first time and they gave me a prescription that was very different from any other prescription I’ve ever had before. I trusted the doctor and bought contacts online with another company because they were waaay cheaper than getting them here with my insurance discount as well. After trying out the contacts for about 3 weeks I noticed that I wasn’t able to focus very well. My eyes would get red and I would have to take off the contacts because they would bother me. To make this story short, now I’m stuck with contacts that don’t work because the prescription Brett Bowman gave me was waaay off! Save your money and go with an optometrist that will do a better job so you don’t get stuck with contacts or glasses that are useless! I usually NEVER write reviews, I’m very disappointed.

Dr Bowman and the staff are fantastic. They are professional, friendly, courteous and helpful. Each of my appointments has started on time and completed in a timely manner. They offer a great selection of frames and sunglasses and will order a frame for you if they don’t have it in the office.

I have been coming to Dr Bowman for MANY many years now and now I bring my kids and wife too! We couldn’t be happier with the doctor and his excellent office staff. He always is very kind, personable, and does great with the kids. They always go out of their way to assure everything is perfect from glasses to appointments to exams. Would never go anywhere else.
Thanks Dr Bowman!

I get my eyes checked and contacts from here. I know Dr. Bauman both as a patient and a colleague. This is a top notch facility with as top a notch an optometrist can be. Location is very convenient and staff very friendly. Highly recommend him!

Let me start off by saying that my son (6) dreads doctor visits, regardless of what type of doctor it is or what the appointment is for, he DREADS them. Needless to say, he was not happy about his 1^st optometry visit. Fortunately, with a Yogurtland bribe, I was able to get him to go without any tears. Dr. Bowman was not at the Tustin office for our visit but we had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Caputo and can I just say AMAZING, she was so kind and informative. She explained every test and quickly gained my son’s trust. The staff was so nice and immediately made us feel welcomed and attended to. They even gave my son superhero stickers at the end of his visit. 5 stars from myself and my son who for the first time ever said, «Mommy, the doctor was nice» on the car ride home.

I have been seeing Dr Bowman for several years now and could not have found a better optometrist. Dr Bowman and his staff are excellent! Friendly and professional with a caring touch. Prices on contact lenses are even better than the local wholesale warehouse :)

Dr. Bowman is the best! I’ve never had a better optometrist! I’ve been coming here for years and I’ve never had any issues. I’ve had several eye problems kus I got big eyes and ot enough lid, they’ve always taken great care of me and never overcharge me. They have an amazing selection of glasses too, I always have a tough time picking new frames because of their beautiful seletion. They have great affordable frames and they have very fancy designer frames as well, huge ray Ban selection too. I’m bringing my husband here and definitely recommend Dr. Bowman to friends and family. And I can’t forget to mention his assistants and front desk staff, sweetest ladies ever :)

Dr Bowman is honestly one of the best optometrists that I have seen in my 35 years of getting eye exams. He is thorough, not rushed and takes his time to explain everything. His staff is very nice and efficient as well. I highly recommend this office and I will be definitely returning for my next exam.

Dr. Bowman is great. I defiantly recommend him. I have seen 2 other eye Doctors in the past who both told me I needed 2 different types of prescription glasses. When I came to Dr. Bowman he told me I don’t need glasses at all. Clearly those other two providers were just trying to make money off of me and my insurance. If your in search for a new eye Doctor this is your Doctor. He has great bedside manner and is very easy to talk to and answers all your questions without making you feel like your being rushed out of there. His office staff is very pleasant as well so another big plus in my book.

Dr. Bowman was very thorough & professional. The office staff was very nice and friendly! We were in quickly and out quickly! Great office, we will be back!

I have been writing this for a LONG time!
The girls that work in this office are amazing! They are efficient, kind, and friendly. They always remember you, even when you only go there once a year. I have even moved far away from their group and still travel to them due to their level of service.
I must admit, I have seen a different doctor each time, I go, which to be honest, is fine. Each doctor I have seen has been thorough, professional and friendly.
I highly recommend West Coast Optometry. They are the gold standard.

Saw the office since it is located next to my daughter’s allergy shot location. Finally made my appointment and went today… Really, really impressed. Very nice and professional front office staff. Dr. Bowman was very nice, attentive and spent plenty of time answering my questions. Made my husband an appointment today too. They are top notch!

We love Dr. Bowman! He has treated our family for years and always goes above and beyond to accommodate our schedules and financial needs. When our HMO cancelled our vision plan, Dr. Bowman found a way to still keep our vision care affordable, which we appreciate greatly! Most recently, he helped our adult daughter out of a jam when he was able to immediately fit her for a pair of contacts as she was well beyond her last pair (even though we begged her to see him sooner!). We have many optometrists much closer to our home but still prefer to make the drive to Dr. Bowman’s office!

I actually found Dr. Bowman while digging around on Unilocal last year. Based on his previous reviews decided to give him a go and I’m glad I did. I’ve had nothing but great experiences when calling and going to office. I enjoy the small office feel with just him and the two ladies at the front and both he and his staff are very friendly. I also like that I can call in to reorder my contacts and they arrive the next day!
I completely disagree with Caroline B’s assumption that Alma purposely gave her the wrong case just so that she can keep it. Um — hello Caroline she works in an optometrists office, it’s not like she can’t get any case she wants. I think that judging her integrity based off of this one experience is completely wrong!

I visited Dr. Bowman today in Corona. I chose him because I read such wonderful things about him and assistants. The office was very clean, I really like how he disinfected his implements prior to using them. He sterilized them with alcohol prior to me being examined. His assistants were very bubbly and patient. I didn’t know what glasses to choose, but she didn’t complain or look annoyed. She was very patient. If your looking for an optometrist, don’t second guess Dr. Bowman, you’ll be pleased with your visit.

My experience with Dr. Bowman and his staff was really easy and helpful. I would recommend West Coast Optometry to anyone looking for an eye doctor. I was able to get an appointment very easily and got new glasses in about a week.

Ok, I hate to say this but, I’m not happy. When you get a pair of glasses that cost close to $ 300 don’t you get the matching case? I just went and picked up my glasses today and Alma was the only one working and she gave me the glasses and I put them on immediately but, didn’t notice til I got home I had a Vogue case! I called her and she said: Oh my mistake. I had to drive all the way back down there and pick up my leather D and G case and return the ugly tweed case she had gave me. I almost feel like she knew and gave me the case hoping she could keep my leather D and G case. No one was in the office but, her and I think she took advantage of that knowing it was my first pair of glasses and wouldn’t know better! I don’t think so! I will get a hold of Dr. Bowman and let him know since he is such a nice guy I’m sure he’ll want to here it. Watch out for Alma!

Dr Bowman is especially caring doctor who is considerate of patients needs. I particularly liked how quickly I was seen by the staff and doctor.

Excellent service. I really like Dr. Bowman. Real nice, friendly and quick. No waiting.
