Patrick L Flores, OD

Best Optometrist I have ever had! Very thorough, extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I am a healthcare provider as well and I highly recommend him :)

Took my entire family for eye exams. Staff was friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and thorough. Had no issues using my VSP insurance. Great selection on frames and the prices can’t be beat. Won’t go anywhere else in the future.

Ok, I can’t see worth anything. I had cataract surgery and still needed assistance. I went to Dr. Flores and had the greatest experience. He was most kind and thorough. I was given several options because he actually asked me about my life style and when I would wear glasses or contacts. I walked away with both happy and he had a pair of contacts for me to use and now that I could see, he is also very handsome and his professional manner was excellent. I recommend him to everyone I know or don’t know. Thanks Doc.

Me and my kids had a GREAT experience with Dr. Flores. Best optometrist visit ever! Every patient receives a quality exam that is very thorough. He is also great with performing exams for kids. He is the first optometrist that accurately prescribed the right lenses for me. The great thing is that he is located at the Costco Store in Gwinnett, so you can leave right out of his office and go pick out some cute and affordable glasses.

Dr. Flores is the optometrist at Costco Optical, Gwinnett loction. He’s there every day except Sundays and another weekday I believe.
I’ve gotten several contact prescriptions from him in the past. but after I moved in to the city and found i needed new eyeglasses, I went on Unilocal and found a highly rated fancy boutique optometrist in Midtown — which I had an AWFUL experience with — they were snooty, impatient, overpriced, and actually complained under their breath about my mother (review on them coming later)
so when i lost my gas perm contact at a party this past weekend, i made the trek to gwinnett costco to get it replaced. i had gone over the 1 year limit for the applicability of my previous contact prescription and chose not to get one at the midtown optometrist so i had to have another annual eye exam. Dr. Flores was very thorough. from the exam, my prescription had actually increased substantially so he suggested that I get new contacts for this prescription. I said that I was concerned that since I work in front of a computer screen all day, I was concerned that having contacts that would give me exactly ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision would be too sharp and give me headaches.
I had this same conversation with unnamed Midtown optometrist and she flat out refused to adjust my prescription lower, was very rude about it, and said if I did choose to order the glasses at a lower prescription she would have no liability.
Dr. Flores approached my request completely differently. He gave me two sample soft contacts to try out. One for exactly what he prescribed and one for 0.5 degree lower (which is 0.5 higher than my old contacts) so I could try them out and see which one I was most comfortable with. He said when I decided which ones I liked I could call in and put in my order for the gas perm contacts. So yea, incredibly incredibly convenient, accomodating, and helpful.
He was also incredibly patient with my mother who is notorious for asking hard questions and getting on the nerve of my doctors. He addressed all of her concerns and did not mumble under his breath in annoyance or anything (ahem midtown optometrist ahem)
His staff was also incredibly nice — I walked away with soft contacts to tide me over until my gas perm contacts came in and starter solution kits for soft contacts and hard contacts. and a sample of rewetting drops since I didn’t have any on me.
Only takes debit card and AmEx you know. since it’s Costco and all.
$ 99 eye exam — awesome.
