Dr. Nguyen and his staff are amazing! They are incredibly patient, thoughtful, and knowledgeable—the front staff worked with me to determine what my insurance was and what my insurance covered, and even helped me pick out frames that work for my face. I absolutely recommend San Marino Optometry.
I love going to see Dr. Toan Nguyen! He is such a pleasant person and so caring. He knows my eye care needs and what works for me as an individual. He also knows my family so he always asks about them. The staff is always welcoming. The office is clean and professional, yet personal. If you are looking for a new optometrist, I would definitely go to San Marino Optometry for all your eye care needs.
Our family has been seeing Dr Phan since she had a practice in the IE. Even though we still live further East, we drive out just to be under the care of Drs. Phan and Nguyen! I had an emergency eye situation and the office staff and Dr Nguyen were able to be flexible and I could come in right away. There is nothing more comforting and relieving when you’re busy and stressed than to have competent and kind doctors and staff to care for you. Thank you so much!
Dr Nguyen is very thorough in explaining my vision exam, and encourages questions to help me understand everything. The selection of eye glass frames is very nice.
We ABSOLUTELY love Dr. Nguyen and all the staff at San Marino Optometry. Every visit is such a great experience. Our whole family highly recommends San Marino Optometry. Thank you for making every visit so pleasant.
I have one pair of glasses from San Marino optometry last year. It was perfectly fit. Because of that I went back to them for another pair of glasses this year. Talking about eye care services. I strongly recommend San Marino optometry.
Love Doctor Twon and his staff.
They are very professional, extremely knowledgeable, and explain what's happening every step of the way.
2 years I've been with them and it's always efficient, painless process.
Thanks!
Dr. Nguyen was very thoroughly answering every of my questions, even though some sounded trivial or were repeated questions. He gave us his honest opinions and more practical advices. If Coterie is the Rolls Royce of diaper, then Dr. Nguyen would be the Rolls Royce of optometrist. We truly enjoy our experiences at every visit!!
Dr Nguyen's team were nice and professional. They have a great selection of frames and are great at making adjustments, so the fit is just right. I have been going to San Marino Optometry for years and will continue to do so.

My father was sent to San Marino Optometry by the Veterans Administration. We were so pleased their customer service that I switched over to them myself. It is always a pleasure seeing Dr. Nguyen and staff. Everyone’s always professional and friendly. I highly recommend them!
