Eyewear And Opticians near Auburn

“Very kind staff. Got me in with a rushed appointment for an eye infection. Dr. Paragas was very kind and gentle, especially compared to the other optometrist that I tried before. She took the time to explain what was happening for me and answered all of my questions. Would highly recommend.“

“Excellent care. Take time to listen to my observations. Give good advise on treatment. Great sense of humour.“

“We got 2 pairs of glasses for my husband and the experience was amazing! Margarita, the manager, was so helpful and went the extra mile for us. Emily was also amazing and knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. The price was incomparable to other eye centers we've been to. We got an amazing deal. Thank you to Margarita and Emily for their help! We will be coming back!“

“You know that feeling when walking into a business and instantly knowIng you're found a good thing without yet knowing you've found a good thing?

Well here you are and in that spirit, Cool Optometry ups the ante even further: You have come into a GREAT thing.

Now I'm a rather basic average person, nothing particularly standout about me and certainly far far away from a MENSA membership. There is one thing, however, that history has shown me to approach expert on and that lone thing is the ability to see the subtle and appreciate the many fine details that roll up into a larger, wonderful picture and how thosee assembled qualities work together beautifully in said creations.

Those details keep my mind occupied while visiting the folks here.

Firstly: The most important person in this small business might actually not be the Doctor; even tho he is also awesome. Rather, the first person to greet you sets the initial tone for your entire experience. And each time I have arrived, one of three of these genuinely kind people have greeted me warmly and provided assistance. Arrive a bit early and study them; their words are not scripted like an annoying chain place that dictates all communication to a factor of cheese but rather carefully chosen to guide your interactions with grace and real, genuine kindness. You can't fake this folks and honestly, it's so rare to find anymore that it triggers me to write the rare positive review because let's be truthful most people will write negative reviews before positive ones. We often ignore the positive and 'celebrate' the negative. Nothing negative here and that, Cool people, is remarkable.

Ok so now onto the Doctor: Everytime I visit, I wonder if Dr. Riggio is like Canadian or something. The man is so genuinely nice you have to think in some way he cannot be your typical aloof, slightly jaded and generally detached dude who was raised here. He speaks in terms we all can understand without an advanced degree, is kindly honest and - here is his killer a-game - ACTUALLY listens actively, hears your thoughts and then provides you the pro/con expert facts about those expressions without being an arrogant equine posterior. That is an especially rare quality within the profession and likely is part of the reason why your initial experience up front goes so predictably well: One can fake it once but fake never lasts or is consistent. Cool Optometry is Consistent and Consistently Real.

Support this fine local business or, if like myself, support this business with your 40 minute drive. Yeah, I could find another place 5 min away probably. But I won't do that. Cool Optometry is stuck with me.

Can't say enough good things. I think you will too.

Thank you for reading my happy rant. Blessings....MM“

“I have reviewed target optical in rocklin before. It was a five. I get all my glasses there. Something has changed. Probably a year ago the tech talked me into buying glasses with a larger reading portion on the glasses. He said it would be better. I do not like a 14mm reading portion. On the next pair i got the smaller reader portion but i got the glasses that change to dark in the sun. The lens cracked like a spider web and i took them back. They charged me to get them replaced even though it happened very fast. Several weeks go by i finally call to find out where they are and they are in. I go get them. 4 days later one of these lenses started cracking and it looks like the lens is coming apart in layers. I took them back and they are replacing these. Without charge. Now its been a month and i still havent received a call or text that the glasses are in. They used to send a message as soon as they came in. I bought these glasses over 5 months ago and its frustrating to not have them. They did say they would mail them because i had my hip replaced and cant drive for 6 weeks. Maybe they are in the mail.
Dont get me wrong folks there are nice and very helpful i just think the system has changed or the place who does the glasses.

Update 9-15. My wife took me to pick up glasses. Glasses look good. There was handwriting on the paperwork to mail glasses but it was missed. The gentlman said he was sorry but i was not set up to receive text messages even though the phone number was on the paper work. They are not supposed to call you. Then he said that he saw i gave them a negative review. I hope im not coming across as negative to the employees or target i gave them a 4 out of 5. I have been to target for no less than 10 pairs and 9 of those i still have. They were great.“
