Optometrists in Bakersfield

“Had a great experience, they open Saturday and took me in as a walk-in . The young ladies in the front are attentive and have great customer service. The Dr. is very patient never rushes, makes you feel comfortable while getting the eye exam and he is very efficient. I highly recommend them.“

“Great customer service. Great deals. Affordable prices. Wish timeframe was shorter to receive new glasses, maybe 7 to 10 days instead of 24 days. Still a very happy customer.“

“Eddie, the manager was helpful with my glasses repair. He was professional and genuinely helpful from start to finish.“

“Very friendly staff. Calm setting. Techs very attentive and helpful. Dr was polite & patient. Spoke clearly and had genuine concerns for over all health. Explained things very clearly and efficiently.“

“This was my very first eye exam at age 30, and I honestly never felt like I needed to go in before. But since my insurance covers it, I thought, “why not give it a try?” I chose Dr. Thurman Edward Wood, O.D. in Bakersfield because of all the great Google reviews—and I’m glad I did.

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. The staff who did my initial exams were fantastic (wish I caught her name!). I went through a few different tests—one with VR, one for eye pressure, and another where you stare at a balloon through a small hole. She explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable.

When it was time to see Dr. Wood, I was even more impressed. He really took his time with me, focusing on my personal needs and listening to my history of eye concerns going back 15 years. He answered all my questions—including which eye is dominant—and gave me a very thorough exam. I left feeling reassured, confident, and cared for. My wife had her exam as well and was equally impressed with the doctor’s attention to detail. Best part? I found out I don’t need glasses!

Unfortunately, the experience didn’t end as strong. When my wife went to pick out glasses, the sales rep assisting her was pretty inattentive. Instead of guiding us through price points or styles, she just kept saying, “Take your time and look around,” while sitting off to the side. We were on a bit of a time crunch, and after letting them know we couldn’t finish that day, the atmosphere felt a little awkward. We paid for the exam and left, but my wife and I agreed in the car that while the exam experience was excellent, we’ll be purchasing glasses elsewhere.

Overall: Dr. Wood and the medical side of the visit were phenomenal. I highly recommend him for anyone needing a thorough and thoughtful eye exam. Just be prepared that the glasses-buying process might not be as attentive as you’d hope.“

“It was done efficiently and I liked the Dr. She took her time with me. I was measured for my glasses and got them the very next day.“

“Honestly I love going to this place the eye doctor is very knowledgeable and will answer any questions makes you feel comfortable understands what you're trying to say I love bringing my son to this office because she has patience with him“

“I absolutely loved the service I received today with Dr. Friedman. He is by far the best optometrist I’ve seen at the Gosford location. He was thorough, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made me feel comfortable and well cared for. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about the optometrist I saw last year, so today’s experience was a huge and very appreciated difference. I’m extremely grateful for Dr. Friedman’s care and would highly recommend him.“

“Very friendly doctor and staff. I'm handicapped and they took excellent care of me. I HIGHLY recommend them. WILLIAM L.“

“An overall wonderful experience. I highly recommend Ojitos Optometry located inside the Panama Lane Costco.

I've used various Costco optometrists over the last fifteen years to get my refraction (perscription) for new glasses. Of all the doctors I've worked with Dr. Velazquez was the best, by far. Just a super nice person. He took time and extra care updating my scrip and making sure I was getting what I needed. When I had to go back to get it adjusted, he did it instantly, with no fuss and was super helpful.

I honestly cannot recommend Ojitos Optometry enough. You will have a good experience here and most importantly, get what you need for great new glasses.“

“Everyone was kind and friendly. They made me feel comfortable and less anxious about my appointment. The doctor listened to my concerns, was very kind, and explained everything to me. I appreciated it very much.“

“Super friendly staff! Helped me choose the best fitting glasses for my face type. Definitely ask them for their opinion! They'll be truthful and help you choose what looks best and helps you the most! Crawford was very friendly and quick! Was perfect for my busy schedule today! Thank you!“

“I called to make an appointment for my 9 month old baby girl to see Dr. Suter. I had to leave a message. I received a call back the next day. The gal on the phone was very sweet and helpful at setting up an appointment for my daughter. We were able to get in within two weeks. Dr. Suter was kind, patient, and thorough in her exam of my baby girl. She took her time and gave my daughter breaks when necessary. All of the staff we encountered were pleasant and kind as well. We were overall very happy with our experience and look forward to continuing to see Dr. Suter for future appointments.“
