    I love my annual eye exams with Dr. Cindy Pouw! She is so friendly and great at explaining the different tests during the exam. If you are looking for a place to have a seamless, clean, efficient exam I highly recommend going to her!

    Dr Cindy is amazing! I have been her patient for the past 3 years. I even drive 30 minutes from santa clara every time to Palo Alto to see her - but it's always worth it. She always makes sure I get an accurate perscription for my glasses and contact lenses that I am happy with!
