Decent place to get glasses.
Optometrist is knowledgeable and knows what he is doing.
Receptionist can do a bit better especially when communicating among themselves about clients orders.
About Santa Rosa Optometry: Josue Gonzalez Pena, OD & Michael Shulkin, OD
Santa Rosa Optometry, led by Dr. Shulkin, provides a welcoming and comfortable experience for patients. The doctor is described as helpful and makes patients feel at ease through small talk. He also speaks some Spanish, accommodating patients who require translation. The office staff is friendly, with Dr. Shulkin being a pleasure to work with. However, the front desk receptionists have received mixed reviews. While they are often helpful in person, they have difficulty answering phone calls and may forget about appointments. Additionally, punctuality and professionalism may vary, with some staff members arriving late or not dressing professionally. Despite these issues, the optometry office is recommended for eye exams, particularly for those who want to take advantage of free frames covered by insurance. Patients can also request a copy of their prescription and order additional frames online.

Wonderful experience from start to finish! I was previously a patient when the practice was under Dr. Shulkih, and I can honestly say this office space and staff is a wonderful upgrade. The front desk staff was friendly and professional, the Dr Pena was knowledgeable and caring, and the entire team provided exceptional service. Everyone was kind, helpful, and attentive. I highly recommend this optometry office!

Went to their new location recently and it is definitely better than the last place, it’s bigger and just more open. ALL of the staff were very professional and really, really nice. In the past this place seemed to make you feel crappy about having medi-cal and the receptionists were rude but not the case anymore! 😁
