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.

Even though we still live further East, we drive out just to be under the care of Drs. Phan and Nguyen!


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!

If Coterie is the Rolls Royce of diaper, then Dr. Nguyen would be the Rolls Royce of optometrist.

 

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!!
