Golden Rowland Heights Optometry

I love the people. Checking in is really fast and wait time is pretty short. The staffs really friendly and I love my contacts.

This is owesome place. The thing i like is the service is fast. They will guide what we are looking for. Especially Rowena, she is very helpful. Got to go back there again.

I came here because of all of the wonderful reviews that were posted. I can’t say that I was «wowed» as much as others were. It was so busy with so many people that it felt like we were in an assembly line. I personally prefer the small family style businesses where you get more individualized treatment vs being rushed from one station to the other. Other than that, no other complaints.

I’ve been coming here several times & have Dr. Vincent Chen take care of me. He is wonderful, very patient & always take times doing the examination. Also very friendly. Not only very professional, he is a person you’d like to be friend with. Strongly recommend him. The staffs also very nice & courteous.

Fast, friendly service. The wife and I both went to get our eye exams and glasses. We completed our exams on a Saturday afternoon and our custom Oakley and Tom Ford glasses were ready on Monday.!!

Very knowledgable, friendly staff. The staff helped me with the frame and lens I truly needed not like other places who try to sell me the expensive brand name frame.

Very helpful staff, always attentive and caring. Took great care of me as a first patient. Will be coming here regularly going forward. Recommend this place to everyone.

First time here for me and my wife… Great customer service… Fast and professional. I’ve been to 3 different optometrist in the last 3years… I’ve found my permanent place for glasses!

funny how in life you always do a circle dance and go back to where it all started.
we initiate as crying pooping naked little things, then we end as uncontrollably tearing, leaking, naked wrinkly items (i don’t know about you, but i for sure will run around naked at my old age). we start adolescent stage by crushing hard on that pop idol who is probably too young to even grow facial hair (or hair anywhere), we convince ourselves to date the much older generation only concluding that trophy wife is merely suitable for heartless emotion-​lacking bimbos, and then irretrievably circle back to that young fresh piece of meat and shamelessly offer them our reproduction rights. sounds familiar? while you are having an emotional melt down realizing the mistakes you made in life means bull and will bring you back to ground 0, let me tell you my circle dance story with Golden Optometry:
being the child of immigrant single mother requires you to accompany her everywhere as personal translator, grocery bag holder, navigator and punch bag. i detested the Ranch 99 grocery market Plaza for its hustle and bustle crowd, and i detested Golden Optometry for the asian faces behind the counter and the display shelves that reminded me exactly of HK.
now in retrospect, maybe it was the feeling of melancholy i hadn’t learnt to comprehend.
life as your model/​boring minority continue to go on, and i found myself standing in front of Golden Optometry after years of circling with other optometrists that just lack that bit of je né sais quoi. the fobby slum glasses store i remembered from years ago is no longer present, you find yourself standing in this bright establishment where every staff is fluent in 3 different languages with no accent. you show up at 7pm when all other american offices are off work, you go through a streamline of efficiency that lead you through exams and optometrist within 30 minutes of time frame, you walk out with the most financially-​justified pair of glasses. now not only you get to see the sad world that much more clearer, you also get to eat at one of the hundreds restaurants in neighborhood to sooth your asian stomach.
it’s called the efficiency of asian, chinese standard, in every horizontal direction.
so you see, my friend, we always start the circle dance believing in the future dance partners will be better. but at the end, you always return to where you started and call it a journey.

Have been coming here for many years and always satisfied with my visit. Wonderful customer service. Came here for an eye exam and for a new pair of glasses and was taken care of immediately. Raymond helped me choose a pair and was very patient with helping me choose a style.

This is first time here for my new sunglass, Raymond is really nice guy.
The place is big and there’re tons of glasses we can choose.
I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who looking for glasses.

I came in for me and my mom’s vision tests, the stuffs are really patient and friendly. My mom doesn’t speak any English at all, they tried to explain everything to her clearly. They have professional optometrists, did a detail eye exam and gave her some good suggestions. we did purchased the glasses in the store, the price is reasonable as long as you dont go with name brands. helped by Raymond in the store

The staff here is very patient and good. Their consultant Raymond helped me find my glasses frame and he was very helpful.

Excellent service. We’ve been with them the last few years. Always smiling at us even though we take a long time to choose our frame. Kelvin took good care of us.

One of the optometrist George gave me great help he didn’t rush and gave great input on glasses. Would definitely ask for his help again. Greatest customer service I had in a long time

I come to Golden Optometry for my eyeglass purchases and prescription check-​ups. They accept my insurance as well, which is Eye Med (not accepted at Costco optometry BTW).
They have English speaking staffs and getting an appointment is recommend although not required– On a weekend day walk in you can expect to wait around 25 minutes and someone will be sure to help you out with the services you need.
I like the variety of frames they have– the salesperson was patient and not pushy while I tried on one frame after another to find the perfect fit/​look for my face shape. The price ranges from affordable to high end brands such as Bvgalri.
The doctor was also patient and informative.
It can be more crowded on weekends, but get an appointment to ensure not having to wait.

tip: lots of staff to help you out which is great. hardly a wait at all.
Came in to get a free prescribed lens and frame provided by my insurance. $ 10 co pay, $ 10 material cost, and $ 8 for frame which is fine (supposed to be free though, why 1 star was off). The eye tests from the doctor didn’t even make me teary which is a big plus. They don’t use the yellow liquid to drop on your eyes which is great. It also takes them 4 days to have the prescribed glasses ready which is awesome.

I brought in my favorite pair of sun glasses here to get repaired and the gentleman Ken was super friendly and quick!!! I called prior to my visit and the woman I spoke to was also very kind! Will definitely return for any of my optometry needs!
5 stars!

I usually go to the Golden Optometry in San Gabriel. This one in Rowland is not as crowded, so the wait was not as long. The San Gabriel location has a wider selection of glasses, even Chanels. You can however have the Rowland Heights location order you any pair of glasses that the San Gabriel location carries.
I saw Dr. Sandy Kao. She was really sweet and thorough. She was able to answer all my questions. I did not feel like I was being rushed through my exam. Five stars for Sandy!
There is a new contact lense called Acuvue Big Eye. It makes your eyes look bigger and gives it the googlie eye look. Pretty cool lenses. I still like Acuvue Oasys the best. It is in my opinion, the most comfortable contact lense out.
HAPPY EXAMING!

Great customer service and friendly ppl.
I really like to get my glasses here.
I would recommend.
