Dr. Gee is very thorough, meticulous and compassionate. A very competent doctor. The optical shop staff is also excellent. The front office staff is friendly and efficient. I have been to this place for years and I highly recommend it.
I’ve been going here for more than 5 years now. My optometrist is accommodating. The staff is polite and helpful.
Very thorough exam. Dr. Gee was very patient and spent a lot of time examining and explaining all the test results to me. The office staff is very nice and professional.
The optometrist, (Dr. Gee) was very nice and informative. I will definitely go back. I took off one star because the employee who started with me with the pre-exam stuff was not, in my opinion, that nice. Maybe she was having a bad day.
To whom it may concern I love this place entire staff nice polite caring they stay opening late and very clean gave me an emergency appointment that day and are very reasonable in pricing does not except hmo but not expensive either I recommend this place a 1000%
Everyone at Pasadena Optometry was fantastic. Dr. Gee was so knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with her the next time you need your eyes checked.
Dr. Snowden is very professional and thorough while also being nice and kind. I trust her expertise completely and always have a great experience with all the office staff. Would highly recommend Pasadena Optometry to friends and family.
Highly qualified Optometrists that take the time to listen and thoroughly exam the condition of your eyes and make a plan of action. Explanation of results are given in a clear and understanding manner. I do purchase my eyeglasses on premises not only for the convenience but they have some really cool frames and all staff are kind and very helpful.
The Doctors at Pasadena Optometry Center know their business and care about you as a customer. It’s an outstanding place to have anything optometry related done. I would recommend them to family and friends.
Great experience with Dr. van Woerkom and the staff at Pasadena Optimetry Center. Comprehensive, but efficient testing. Nearly all my questions were anticipated and answered, including my options for vision correction, the pricing, and my insurance coverage. Easy, pleasant, personal service. Highly recommend.
I’m very grateful to both the amazing staff and Dr. Van Woerkom for their incredible care and professionalism. Their attentiveness, sensitivity and protocol during these challenging times is unprecedented. Many thanks! I’ve been a client for 15 years.
I love coming here! I always learn something helpful and new and the whole experience is great. Staff is considerate and helpful and the facility is clean and efficient. Well done!
The whole “crew” at Pasadena Optometry are a group of professionals. They are caring, informative and knowledgeable. My eye exam was thorough and left me feeling comfortable about the condition of my eyes.
All the staff members here are extremely courteous, attentive, and patient! They do a good job explaining things and updating you. I have been going to Dr. Snowden for years and she is so kind - you never feel rushed with her and she answers all of your concerns thoroughly. The department where you pick your glasses and frames - they are also very nice and patient. I the name of the person who helped me but she spent so much time helping me pick out the right frames for my face, even though I was very fickle. I was very thankful for her help! I definitely recommend patients to go here!
Great service. Personable and professional at the same time. Highly recommend.
Today I visited Pasadena Optometry and was pleasantly greatful for the professionalism and great service I received. I felt like I mattered to the staff and Dr. Gee! Looks like the place to go for my eye care from now on!Great place!
I love Dr. Sandy Gee and I have been going to her for more than 20 years. She is a great Dr. and she is great company. I also love Joyce who helps me figure out frames and glasses.
Ive been going to Pasadena Optometry Center for over three years now. Dr. Elizabeth Snowden is my Optician there and I think she is FANTASTIC!!Not only is she very skilled in her profession, she is very thorough with her exams, patient and she listens to the concerns of her patients. And I really love that not only does she use the new technology to check your eyes, but she also uses old school instruments which are even more in depth.The center also has the retina scan machine, for looking deep into the eye and seeing your retina, which I HIGHLY recommend to everyone to get once a year because it can see possible health issues that can be treated or prevented when caught early.Im giving a 4-star rating because I wish they had a larger selection of eye glass & sun glass frames to choose from.This is a one-stop optometry center filled with very skilled staff. You will be glad to be one of their patients!
Excellent service. Very nice people. Highly recommend.
I 💗 my optometrist! I’ve received quality treatment from Pasadena Optometry Center for twenty years and highly recommend❣️🤓
Dr. Gee is hands down THE BEST!! I have been a patient for over 10 years. My family of four loves her. She is a great listener, if she is in a rush her be patients don’t feel it. She is so thorough with her examination and she also very pro active with our eye care. Highly recommend Dr. Gee.
It was the best experience Ive ever had with an optometry. Comprehensive checkings and right to the point recommendations without unnecessary ads. The disinfectance before using any tool is thorough and the doctor would wash her hands every time theres a need to get close your eyes. Definitely recommend it!
Excellent service. Professional staff and superior clinical quality. Every visit is a good experience.
I had a very pleasant experience with the doctor and staff. Would definitely recommend!Thank you
Thorough and kind. A positive overall experience.
Very professional. From top to bottom. Good staff makes and breaks your clinic. This clinic staff very friendly and helpful and kind.
Everyone here was kind and professional. They took extra care to sanitize all equipment while you were in the room. They so kept track of all of the frames tries on so they could be cleaned as well. Very thoughtful and thorough experience all around.
The service and professionalism at this eye center is top notch.
Dr. Snowden-Ifft really takes the time to be thorough with the exam and to make sure toExplain everything clearly and concisely. I have been her patient for many years and have recommended her to many of my friends.
I have been using Pasadena Optometry Center for nearly 20 years. Perhaps longer. I have primarily had my examinations with Dr. Sandy Gee. However, my experiences with the other eye doctors there has always been excellent.My recent examination with Dr. Snowden was equally great. The entire staff is typically friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Highly recomended.
I always receive top quality service and care
My family and I have been going to Pasadena Optometry Center for years. This was my first visit since the pandemic started and I was very pleased with their biocontainment procedure. I felt like the customers and staff were safe.I appreciate this office because they do not push procedures that you dont need. Yet they are very thorough if you have a concern.
My family of 4 has seen each of the doctors here. Dr. Van Woerkam takes time to explain his findings.. All are thurough, patient and make you feel calm. I told my 9 year today that I scheduled his next eye exam with Dr. Snowden. He said oh yeah. Those visits are fun!
This was a really great experience. I’ve been going to a neighboring optometrist for 6 years and switched because they were overcharging - I wish I had made this choice 6 years ago! What a neat place Pasadena Optometry Center is. They have really intriguing art all over the place, and their optometrist is really great about answering questions in a relaxed and not-rushed manner. I appreciate how they explained everything they did. I had a very pleasant time, and got the prescription I needed quickly, easily, and affordably.
It was a great. Dr. Gee was very thorough on her examination, got a clear understanding of my vision situation and how to deal with it for the long run. I feel ready to go to space now :P
Its ALWAYS pleasant visiting Dr. VAN Woerken. Friendly staff. Top notch!😁
Courteous competent staff. I was attended to at the time of my appointment. Thorough eye exam. All questions answered. Joyce did a wonderful job in helping me choose my frames.
I had been coming to this place for several years already and the doctor that takes care of my kids’ eye Health is very patient, explains very well everything and he really cares about any concern that he could have about my kids’ eyes.
Terrific people. Wonderful service.
Excellent service . Polite and efficient. On time. Easy access.
Very clean, very friendly staff. Dr. Gee was amazing. I felt so taken care of and covid safe! Very glad this is my office!
The office was ready for me upon arrival and was extremely diligent in maintaining Covid protocols. The Dr. (Craig) provided very detailed and welcomed responses to my many questions, which made the screening painless. Highly recommended.
Dr. Gi is professional, efficient and always friendly,
I love Dr. Snowden and the team here. theyre always super friendly and Dr. Snowden explains things in a really great way that makes you feel so comfortable.
Great service. Doctors very helpful as well as the ladies that help you pick out glasses!
Always a great experience. Appt started as scheduled, Dr. Snowden spends quality time with her patients and explains everything so thoroughly. 😊
I really hate leaving a bad review, especially amongst so many good reviews but my experience didnt feel the way it has with many other doctors Ive been to in my life.It just didnt feel very welcoming. The first girl that took me back, I was trying to have small talk with her and she just wasnt having it. I dont see at all in my left eye. I noted that when I called in to make my appt. She kept asking me to do stuff with my left eye, which was uncomfortable.When the doctor came in, he spent an insane amount of time on his tablet. It was just uncomfortable silence. He seemed to not be aware of my condition, as if the staff didnt tell him when I called in, even though that was a major point for me. I will say, he did answer my questions very thoroughly so I appreciated that.When he walked me over to the Optician, he didnt even say good-bye, nice to meet you. Nothing. Just walked off.The Optician didnt let me pick out any frames (I guess that could be a Covid thing) but Im picky and would have liked to look myself.I dunno. I just didnt feel comfortable. Interestingly enough, I went to a new dentist right after this appt and it was a night and day experience, confirming my discomfort was legit.
I love Dr. Craig VanWoerkomThe experience was great and I felt taken care of.
Everything was great till I was with the lady, that was to show me the frames. She was the last encounter with the center. The Dr, asked her to show me frames, she did acknowledge the Dr, but continued putting frames on racks, as if I was not there, she showed me glasses, i asked her if she could tighten my existing glasses, went away and came back about 10 mins later, she has no customer service skills.
Nice professional staff, clean and comfortable office. I like the fact that my appointment didnt feel rushed. My doctor was very informative, she answered all my questions and took her time speaking with me about my results. I definately recommend. 👍
Super professional people! The lady who checked me in, did my preliminary eye tests and escorted me to my room was very sweet, efficient and professional. I then saw Dr. Van Woerkom who took his time with me, explained everything to me to the gnittiest detail, answered all of my questions and more, and was incredibly professional as well. Even though I just came in for my annual appointment, all of my concerns were addressed and I left feeling like it was completely worth my time (I say this because some annual visits can sometimes feel rushed and if nothing’s terribly wrong with you and you’re healthy it can sometimes feel pointless, but this was not the case). Plus the center is gorgeous with all of their artwork which I find meaningful and thoughtful. My appointment last year with Dr. Snowden was also a wonderful experience, too! I would highly recommend this place!
This is the best optometry center I’ve ever gone to - everyone is so kind, patient, and knowledgeable. Dr. Snowden is very compassionate person and I feel like she very much cares about her patients.
Very nice Dr & staff! Clean, timely and helpful.
Our family has been coming here for about 15+ years. We love and appreciate the knowledge and professionalism of Drs. Van Woerkem and Snowden who have taken care of us all these years. Love the staff as well! Thank you for taking good care of our family’s eyesight!
Such an absolutely wonderful experience today at the Pasadena Optometry Center with Dr. Gee. Looking forward to my instructional contact lens appointment and I’ll definitely be referring all of my loved ones! Thanks to the team for making this appointment feel safe, easy, and so enjoyable!
I love the Pasadena Optometry Center! The staff have always been kind and helpful. Dr. Snowden-Ifft is very friendly and I have never had a negative experience with the office.
From the very front receptionist down to and including of course the doctor are wonderful! Very knowledgeable and considerate!So happy with service & will continue to come!Thank you
It was reassuring today when I arrived for my annual eye exam to see how careful Dr. Van Woerkom and his staff were about following COVID protocol. I also appreciated how thorough, as always, my examination was, and that my last years prescriptions were still good for another year.
This was my first appt at an optometrist and it went very smoothly. I felt very comfortable and taken care of.
Fantastic very professional and friendlyLa
5 star if Only I was attended by the doctor right away. I have to wait for about 25 minutes after the initial screening. Maybe I was just unlucky it was pack.
I have been a client of Pasadena Optometry Center since the earlly 2000s. The service is excellent. The staff has always been polite, and professional.
Excellent service!
Very little waiting, great service. No push for extra services. Good variety of frames, overall very pleased.
As usual I felt extremely pleased with Dr. Snowden. She is thorough and knowledgeable and always takes the time to answer questions or concerns.During this time of Covid concerns the office staff were extremely proficient in sanitizing the equipment in addition to their other duties. I felt very comfortable.
This was my first visit to the Pasadena Optometry Center. I am very impressed with the entire staff. I especially like the fact that Dr Van Woerkom takes his time and answers any questions. I Highly recommend this practice.
Friendly clean environment. The office staff and doctors are professional and thorough.
Felt very safe. All COVID safety measures followed by the entire staff.
Staff polite and office honored all Covid safety measures. I greatly appreciated this approach.Dr Snowden is always thorough and explains everything thoroughly. She’s a terrific doctor.
Very thorough exam
The office staff is friendly, and the restroom is clean. The waiting area is clean and comfortable. I did not wait long before an office staff called me back. The doctor was informative, friendly, and professional. He answered questions and did a thorough exam using multiple tests. The doctor also did a great job explaining various changes that have taken place with my eyes. There is free parking available on the street; otherwise, patients will be required to pay to park in the lot.
I visited Pasadena Optometry Center due to my left eye allergy. The treatment I received was very professional. They are being responsible in maintaining cleanliness and hygiene with the ongoing Covid19 situation. Dr. Snowden is phenomenal in handling her patients. Very soft spoken and keen on answering all the questions I had. With her prescribed medicine, my allergy was cured within couple of days. Would highly recommend this place.
From beginning to the end, highly highly satisfied!!! It’s been hard to work from home with my deteriorated vision so I decided to visit this ofc for the first time. They were able to find me an opening the next day due to someone’s cancellation! I appreciated them for looking for an earlier possible date to accommodate my needs.The office was very clean and spacious enough with limited amount of people inside for social distancing. They disinfected all the equipments before I had to use them.Dr Snowden was very kind, thorough, understanding and considerate. She kindly explained everything during and after the exams and told me what to look out for as a precaution. Haven’t had any doctors who took time for precautions — which I think is very important!Dr Gee also made time to ensure I got an additional exam I needed during my appointment, so I didn’t have to come back for another appointment.Everyone else in the office was very attentive, willing to take an extra step to ensure I have my needs met. I didn’t feel pressured and felt supported and informed throughout the process.Overall, I truly felt cared for as a patient and truly appreciate the transparency, thoroughness, and patient-centered environment. Would highly recommend and I truly appreciate everyone at the office!
Very friendly staff. Great selection of frames.
Very safe and efficient. Felt great getting eyes checked and updated prescription.
Gave me the wrong appointment time and date. Showed up to the office at scheduled time only to find office closed. This is not acceptable. Very disappointed in Pasadena Optometry Center. One star only so that I can post this.
I made and appointment for an eye exam and I also needed some new glasses. The staff was very friendly when I arrived and I didnt have wait long for my exam. Dr Gee is the best!! Shes really friendly and attentive. She made me feel very comfortable and took the time to explain my test results. I was able to pick out some new frames and didnt have any issues at all. They said they would contact me as soon as my glasses came in. I was in and out in just one hour. I highly recommend this place!
Professional, caring, timely, reliable, conscientious. A wonderful place. Highly recommended.
The visit was accurate, the doctor was very prepared and the tech they use saved me from few hours of pupils dilation. Good job. They did not insist on using their glass shop and they wrote my pupillary distance on the upon request. Very honest. Not really a downside: such measure (pupillary distance) was not taken electronically so I’ll have to wait for my glasses to come in to assert the accuracy; I trust the doc knew what she was doing.
Friendly and schedule accommodating. The medical team is stellar. Willing to listen and answer all patients questions. Would highly recommend this office to anyone seeking an optometrist. No parking validation available but not a problem when you have ample street parking.
What great customer service!
Ample parking (not free but reasonable and convenient) and staff is pleasant and efficient. I have been seeing Dr. Van Woerkom for several years and appreciate the thorough testing and tracking of my eye health and visual acuity from one year to the next. I especially appreciate that he takes time to answer my questions in as much detail as I need with utmost patience and respect.
Excellent service, no wait time. Extremely helpful in eye-ware selection. Everyone there was super friendly and accommodating. Definitely my new place for my optometry needs. 5 stars.
Very sanitary offices, kind staff, incredibly knowledgeable doctor. Will be returning in the future!
Ive been going here for years! Love the staff and the care I receive from everyone there! Although they changed hands a few years ago, they remain consistent in their quality products and patient care!
I have gone to the eye doctor here for over 15 years. The exam is always thorough, the staff is always courteous, they send gentle reminders and not obnoxious reminders, they work well with the insurance, the glasses they produce are outstanding, and I would recommend this center to anyone. Most recently, I had to cancel my appointment due to jury duty. They were entirely accommodating about the canceled appointment and then phoned me on Saturday to tell me there was a cancellation and fit me in while I was away from jury duty. This is really the kind of doctor office anyone would want to work with for eye care.
They make the patients wait unnecessarily. Sounds cliche but if there was a negative I would give that to them. The office is cold and stoic as are the employees. Horrible service
Everyone is polite and welcoming. The location itself is always calm. I know that seems like a weird detail to include for an optometry center, but I stopped going to a nearby optometry place because it was always a ZOO with waits that felt endless. I love this place.
My husband and I came here for the first time. Everyone was very pleasant at the office. Dr. Van Woerkom was patient and thorough, so allow ampleTime. There’s also a convenient optician’s office right on the premises. I’ve already recommended this establishment to a friend.
I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 7. Had my first appointment with Dr. Snowden and she is by far the best optometrist I’ve had. Not only is she kind, thoughtful, and takes her time but it was wonderful that she clearly explained everything she did, all of the tests, what exactly she was doing and why, as well as delving into the anatomy of the eye. This really helped me understand how my eyes work (and how they don’t and why), plus she addressed future health and things I need to be aware of.
Overall great experience! Everyone was helpful, professional, and efficient. I really appreciated the attention to detail during my examination as well as the thorough discussion I had with Van Woerkom. I cant see myself going anywhere else for vision care.
Dr. Gee was very thorough in the eye exam. She was personable and communicative. I had a reasonable wait time. I will be doing a second half of the exam, also. I highly recommend her.
Dr. Craig Woerkam is the best! He is cheerful, helpful, and has a great sense of humor. He listens and is never in a rush. I am so glad I found him. His manner and way of treating patients is the way all doctors should be.
Dr. Craig Van Woerkom is great, very thorough, very skilled, very professional. He explains things very clearly, and will go into as much detail as you want or need. I heartily recommend him and and Pasadena Optometry in general.
Dr Van Woerkum is great! Explains everything and answers all questions in a friendly, informative, and helpful way. I bring my kids to see him as well. The staff is very professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend Pasadena Optometry to anyone!
I have had such great experiences here. They have helpful and courteous staff, knowledgeable and informative doctors. Plus, everyone was incredibly kind and understanding of me being there with my 18 month old, and a few of them even played with her some. Definitely going to be a customer here for as long as I live in the area. Thank you!
This is my second visit at this clinic but this time I did a Complete Eye Exam. Dr VanWoerkom is very attentive to my concern and addresses it with full knowledge. He is very accommodating and finds time! Overall a great experience. Highly recommended.
They are awesome. Was able to make an appointment quickly. I have seen both Dr. Gee and Dr. Snowden, and they are accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend.
I needed a new optometrist, since my previous one moved. I checked out Pasadena Optometry Center, and I was very pleased with the experience. Everyone there was wonderful, and the price for new glasses was quite a lot less than with my previous eye doc.Highly recommended!
I had my eye exam two month ago. The doctor spend adequate time with me and answered all my questions and concerns. Their equipment is brand new and I did not feel any discomfort during or after the exam. I had a pleasant and satisfying experience but I lost my prescription shortly after. When I called to get a new one, they could not find my record which made me complain. Within hours, the office reached out to me to clarify the situation and send my prescription to my optometrist. These doctors care about their patients and thus I changed my initial review and I would highly recommend this center.
