Jennifer Chen was very thorough and helped make the exam easy. She asked good questions and listened and answered mine. I am anxious for the two weeks wait time for my new glasses.

Hello, yes, I love that office, especially because everybody in that office is really nice, respectful, and very, very polite. And especially Dr. Chen, she was so nice with me, and the people that is in the front of the office, everybody. So thank you very much.

Dr. Chen was excellent. The problem is I couldn't get a follow-up appointment with the ophthalmologist that was required for many, many months. I don't have a way to call into your office very easily. So if you're going to recommend follow-up care with other specialists, there needs to be a way to get in before many, many months later. Thank you.

Scheduling is difficult. Initially ,I called but on hold for more than 15 min so I hang up n went to schedule via internet, was informed that I would hear within the week. 12 days past, had not heard anything so I called office on Oct 1 to follow up and was told I had a schedule already for October 8 at 3:20pm! Imagine my anxiety as I already had something planned that day! Very bad experience with scheduling on line! No communication at all. I guess if I did not called on Oct 1 , I would not have shown up on the scheduled time n be charged for no show! (word removed)!

Office staff and facility was clean, happy, very welcoming, very helpful. The provider, the doctor, Chen, she was outstanding, explained everything, very patient, very knowledgeable, expressed her points of view and listened to my points of view. She was extremely, extremely a very good doctor and she made you feel like she was talking to her own family member. She is very outstanding. PIH picks the best doctors ever. And I would highly recommend her to anyone, even strangers. She's so outstanding. Thank you very much. My name is (PHI removed).
July 23, 2025
Yes I was very happy with my experience with my Dr and her Staff
July 16, 2025
Yeah, hi, this is (PHI removed). The second question, I put a two, but it needed to be a four, so I changed it to a four. I apologize, bye-bye.
July 10, 2025
It's a little further away then other locations but I'd rather travel the extra miles to go there because of the excellent treatment I received.
July 03, 2025
I understand that things have changed over the years however, it's a shame that a person can no longer see a Dr for 2 different issues simply because of the billing issues and I didn't specify two issues at the time of making the appointment. The staff and Dr were wonderful. The "business" aspect is poor practice and very unfortunate. It opens patients to frustration, anger, mistrust and concern. You no longer make us feel safe or comfortable that we are your best interest.

I first met (name removed) at the receptionist counter. She was friendly courteous and knowledgeable. (name removed) took me back and did my first Eye Care exam. She was gentle and informed me of everything that was going to happen before it happened to me. Jennifer Chen my OD also explain the procedure she was doing. I took great comfort in this because I like to know what's going on before they do the care. I found this office to be quite clean and everyone I came and counter with was respectful. I meant Charlene who is a pharmacist at this office as well. She answered all my questions and was quite helpful. Yes, I definitely would recommend this office

I have been very disappointed with my recent doctor appointments, I was pleasantly surprised with how quick I was able to see the DR , everyone was very nice I felt comfortable with this Doctor she explained what caused my eye to hurt so much I bought eye drops that she recommended and I had instant relief ( thank you Doctor) so grateful.
June 26, 2025
Very professional support staff. The doctor was terrific. She listened and responded appropriately to all my comments and inquiries. Great doctor-patient encounter throughout our meeting.
June 25, 2025
Frustrated waiting for this long appointment for having a prescription glasses update ended having an med eye exam which is not a purpose of this appointment. Wasting a copay instead of vision examination. Yearly went to eye exam for the purpose of glasses . There is a mid communication in this visit.
June 25, 2025
Dr Chen was very good. I was pleased.
June 25, 2025
Great service and great personnel . Thank you!
June 18, 2025
Was disappointed that my new glasses that I received in December had to go back because it was thought the progressive line was not in right place then got back tried to wear first week just way to blurry and getting an appointment for this was stretched out so far that I was told lens could not be changed out of two pair of glasses bought November 27th Received sometime in December and I had to paid another $480 that I felt wasn't right.
June 16, 2025
I really enjoy the professionalism that Dr. Chen gives you. She's very sweet and personable.
June 05, 2025
The first few answers I gave, I did not understand your rating and I put ones. I wanted to put fours, very happy with the appointment, very happy with the office staff, very happy with the nurse. Thank you.
June 05, 2025
I went in discouraged and having an attitude that they aren't going to find my problem or be able to fix me. Dr. Chen listened and checked me out. I told her I understood what she was saying but how does that fix my problem? I've had it for two years. She said, "Let's take a deeper look". She took her time, not rushing, and found what the problem was. Now, I had a treatment plan that will fix it. I left the office singing ? in my heart! Thank you Dr. Chen.
June 05, 2025
I was seen by the media assistant on time. Doctor was late for few minutes but I thoroughly examined.
June 04, 2025
I was seen in a timely manner by both the assistant and the doctor. My wait time was very minimal. The doctor's bedside manner was great. She's very friendly and efficient and explains things well. She also listens well and wanted to make sure that I had the best prescription for my eyes. I would recommend her.
May 21, 2025
Both doctor and staff carried themselves in a professional manner. Everything was done in a timely fashion.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit with Dr. Chen and I would absolutely recommend her. I had a wonderful time and she was so nice and graceful to me. I thank you very much for me going to her office and I'll tell my friends and neighbors to do the same. Thank you so much.
May 07, 2025
I loved her, the opposite of my prior visit in February; I will always see Dr. Chen. She is friendly, caring, and attentive. When speaking to me, she looked at me.
May 07, 2025
Because Dr. Chen only works part time, we had to wait over a month to get an appointment. Otherwise the experience was great. Dr. Chen was very kind and patient with my mother, (PHI removed). Thanks, (name removed) (daughter)
May 01, 2025
Dr. Chen and the Assistant who helped me were very kind and easy to work with. The front office staff was also great! My only negative mark was because it took so long to get an appointment there. Everything else was much appreciated!

I was treated extremely well. Everything was very well organized.
March 28, 2025
Trying to get an appointment with the eye doctor takes a long time. Other than that, I pressed no by mistake on one of the questions. Dr. Jennifer Chen is really great. The office was great. Everything was great except for trying to get an appointment in a timely manner. You guys are too busy. Thank you.
March 28, 2025

March 24, 2025
Dr. Chen is the best. She is very thorough, friendly, and knowledgeable.
March 19, 2025
Very friendly and professional.
March 13, 2025
It was a complete waste of time. I had to wait to get the glasses and I told them they weren't right. The 1st day they made me warm for another 2 weeks to check about that. I went back in there. They still couldn't correct it and they won't get my money back until 6 weeks later. What's up with that lousy service and then keeping my money? Not a way to do business
March 12, 2025
Have been going to this eye center for years.Great doctors and staff.
