The staff is so nice and helpful! Very thorough and helped decipher a previous quote from another optometry office and they helped save me half the cost. I’m already sending referrals.

I've been going to Dr. Stephen Chinn office for over 10 years now. The staff always provides great customer service and have taken extra steps to take care of my needs. Dr Stephen Chinn took care of me when i came back from a Vietnam trip with a scratch on my left eye. Walked me through every step from the medicine, healing time and the length of recovery. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great optometrist.
