Family Optometry of Silicon Valley

Have had a handful of optometrist over the course of my life and Dr. Wada is easily my favorite. He will go the extra mile to make sure everything is checked out properly and is overall very kind, trustworthy and patient. Additionally he is very knowledgeable and competent. He explained some aspects of my vision to me that no one had ever pointed out before and he had some new cutting edge machines create reconstructions of the area behind my eye to help diagnose a rare condition I have.
Additionally everyone in his staff is very pleasant and eager to help you. They fit in very well overall with the «family» caring atmosphere here.
So overall pretty much everything you could want.

We have been patients of Dr. Wada for years. Excellent practitioner, very detail oriented, and he takes the time to explain exactly what is going on with your eyes and how to properly take care of them. We recently referred a friend over to him, and he said that this was the first time any eye doctor told him exactly what was wrong with eyes, and Dr. Wada found the proper prescription to address his severe eye issues. We had concerns about our friend’s well-​being, and the fact the he can now function close to normal due to the new prescription he received is something you cannot put a price on. Thank you Dr. Wada!

I’m a new patient and I saw Dr. Wada for new glasses and help with my contacts not fitting right. They take Anthem Blue Cross eye care plan which is great for Santa Clara Univ. employees. You don’t feel rushed, Dr. Wada takes his time with the eye examination. He really put a lot of effort into my contact lens problem.
It’s nice to deal with a local business vs a chain.

I never had an eye exam before and so I came into this office not knowing what to expect. I felt very taken cared by everyone here. True to its name, everyone treats you like family. There are two doctors here but I saw Dr. Wada. He was very nice and professional. He checked for the health of my eye even though I am only in my mid-20’s. He got me to see clearly again in a long time. I can finally read and see the lines on the road again! They always think of the patients’ needs first. I would recommend coming here and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I plan on see Dr. Wada and his staff again when I come back for my next exam.

I just woke up with my left eye in great pain. They were kind enough to see me at very short notice (10 minutes actually) which is incredibly nice. Very grateful for it.

After my work’s insurance changed I had to find a new optometrist and Unilocal did not lead me astray! I love Dr. Fan! Her office staff are also really great and helped me pick out my new glasses. I’ve referred so many people from work here now because we all had the insurance change, and I don’t think any of them are disappointed with the service!

I am a patient of Dr Fan’s, and I have always received wonderful care from her. Still, when I had an accident involving my left eye one day and called the emergency number, it was her partner, Dr Wada, who treated me as if I were one of his own patients. This is a really wonderful practice. The front desk staff is wonderful, too. They are also terrifically skilled at helping you pick out glasses that look wonderful on you. I once loved a set of frames so much I ordered them for distance and for reading, and distinguished them by a tiny piece of duct tape on the inside arm of the reading glasses. Perhaps an imperfect solution, but it worked!

Where do I start? I have been coming here for over 10 years! Dr Wada is wonderful! He is a great listener, very calm and knowledgable. My daughter was only 10 when she had to get hard contacts for medical reasons. The staff worked with her until she was comfortable getting them in and out! I was in there two different times with my daughter and each time they spent about 1 hour with her! Talk about customer service! Sonia knows exactly what glasses will look good on you and she is an expert at dealing with the insurance companies! I can not speak highly enough of this place!

I’ve been coming to Dr. Jon Wada’s office for probably 12 years now. He has to be one of the best Optometrists around — he’s thorough, professional, patient, and an excellent listener to his patients. He’s an excellent doctor. They also have a very good selection of eye glasses always in stock.

Very Impressed!!! The doctor saw me right away on short notice!!! Staff very helpful and the assistant Jenny is awesome as well. Doctor very patient and willing to listen. Answers all your questions and does great evaluation. Not pushy at all genuinely cares!!! Highly recommended!!!

I found this place because my insurance changed and I wanted to find somewhere close to home and open on Saturdays. I was able to make an appointment no problem and went with the intention of trying to get contacts after being unsuccessful once before. The receptionist was very friendly. My appointment was with Dr. Fan who was kind. She listened as I told her about my fear of putting contacts in and spent a good hour trying with me. Unfortunately at the end of the day I wasn’t able to do it. She told me to make another appointment free of charge to try again.
I tried again and this time met with Dr. Wada who also was very kind and informative. He was extremely patient and understanding of my problem. Now here is where this review turns embarrassing, I couldn’t do it once again. The kind Dr. told me to come back in two weeks and give it another go, his office manager worked with me every time and was SO SO SO SWEET! She made me laugh when I was getting down about not being able to get them out. I literally came back 4 times and still was unsuccessful at NO fault of Dr. Fan, Dr. Wada or their staff. They were super understanding and patient and I felt like I owed them money or something. Eventually I picked a pair of cute prescription sunglasses.
Exceptionally customer service here with decent prices.

My eyes are still pretty strong so I don’t usually need much done except the usual check up. I have one pair of glasses from here and some contacts. Dr Wada is nice and personable and genuinely talks to you through the appointment to get to know you. His staff have been there for as long as I’ve been coming here (several years) and that’s always a good sign. They’re very helpful in finding the best and most affordable approach to your eyewear needs. I definitely recommend them. Trustworthy and reliable services.

I wear Paragon CRT lenses. I just went to their website and put names into Unilocal until a doctor with a good rating came up. Dr. Wada came out with a high rating, so I got an appointment.
During my exam, he asked me if I got headaches while I read. It sounds funny, but I «forgot» I did until then. When he mentioned it, I remembered complaining about it to a few friends. He also asked if one of my contacts was really difficult to get out. It was. He changed my prescription and now my vision is much better than it was and my contacts are much more comfortable.
Also, two huge thumbs up for his office staff. Both of his receptionists are always so nice and friendly.

I thought that I would save a few dollars and purchase my next set of glasses at a one of the national chain stores at Valley Fair Mall and BOY did that backfire on me! I had to return the glasses two times (wasting several hours in the store) as they just couldn’t get my special prescription right. And the kicker is that with all of the «extras» added on, the price was just about the same as what I would have paid with Dr. Wada.
I highly recommend Dr. Wada for his expert advice, no sales-​pitch attitude, great service from the gals in the front office and a REALLY cool, unique selection of frames at a decent price. Thank you, Dr. Wada and staff!!!

Funny store, I was referred to Dr Wada by a friend that had been going to Dr Wadas practice for years. My mother is an optometrist that trained at Berkeley. I asked if she had heard of Dr Wada. It turns out they had worked together and she had nothing but good things to say. Dr Wada and his entire staff are very friendly, professional and thorough. We’ve moved a bit further away recently, but I will continue to travel the extra distance for the service Dr Wada and his wonderful staff provide.

Dr. Wada’s office was a random pick for me from my insurance providers. I picked the office since it was close to work. I had a pleasant surprise that Dr. Wada is a very kind and careful
eye doctor and the staff is friendly and helpful! Two pairs of glasses and a new doctor that I am sure will take me through the next years of my eye care as well as my husbands.

I live near Dr. Wada’s office, but have been going to another optometrist for years. Today, my glasses broke (lost a screw). A friend who is a patient there suggested I stop in. They were wonderful, fixed the glasses for free plus more than I asked, and I felt like we were old friends by the time I left. I am definitely switching next time I need an exam or new glasses!
