“I have to hand it to Dr. Vu and her team - they really know how to keep an eye on things!

Not only is Dr. Vu a wizard when it comes to eye care, but she's also a great educator. She gave me the "eye-opening" experience of understanding my eye health - who knew that behind those frames of mine lay a world of optical wonders?

Her cheery staff makes you feel right at home. I half expected them to offer me a cup of tea and ask about my weekend plans. But jokes aside, the care I received was top-notch. Dr. Vu is thorough, attentive, and genuinely cares about her patients' well-being. Plus, the office atmosphere is so warm and inviting, you almost forget you're at the eye doctor's.

In conclusion, if you're searching for stellar eye care from a team that feels more like family while also brightening your day with a few eye-related puns, Dr. Vu is the one to see. Trust me, don't blink and miss the opportunity for excellent care!”

“Dr. Vu is one of the best optometrists in the nation, for routine care, and also emergencies. Recommend wholeheartedly, as well as the entire team at Almaden Eyes.

Dr. Vu has been my trusted optometrist for several years, providing not only exceptional routine eye care but also exemplary service during emergencies. Recently, I experienced a sudden and distressing eye condition, and Dr. Vu's response was nothing short of remarkable. Her empathetic approach, immediate action, and thorough knowledge were evident as she swiftly diagnosed a virus and orchestrated a treatment plan. She went above and beyond, personally contacting pharmacies to ensure I had the necessary medication without delay. Dr. Vu's diligent follow-ups and meticulous care ensured a swift recovery, preventing any serious complications.

Beyond her expertise in managing complex cases, her practice consistently offers excellent care, fair pricing, and a genuinely caring environment. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Vu for her outstanding dedication and professional excellence..”

“I was a patient of Dr. Vu at a previous place and followed her here when she opened her own practice because she's just that good! I am a complex case due to my extremely nearsighted vision and astigmatism, and I have typically mistrusted or been skeptical of my previous doctors because they seemed to rush through my appointments.

From my first visit, I was impressed by her attention to detail and ability to break down the reasoning behind her decisions for me. This educational approach has not only helped me better understand my eye health but has also made me feel more involved in the decision-making process regarding my treatment plan.

She also goes above and beyond for all her patients. She made sure I trialed multiple contact lenses and took time to follow up with me while on maternity leave!

The staff here are also welcoming and professional, making every visit enjoyable. I highly recommend Dr. Vu for the best eye care you can find!”

“There are few businesses in my life where I have an outstanding and trusting long-term relationship with. This is one of those places--one that my family and I will be going to for the long run. Dr. Vu brings a very nurturing warmth and care that is rare in today's hurry-up-next culture. When you go in for a visit, you feel more like a cared for family member..something that can only be cultivated by a great work environment as the overall staff carries that vibe. Highly recommended. Dr. Vu and team approach every aspect of optometry with the utmost care and attention to detail. Look no further.”

“Dr. Vu is amazing! I'm someone who generally avoids doctor's offices and gets embarrassed easily when asking questions. Dr. Vu was so kind and welcoming throughout the appointment - I felt comfortable to ask even the silliest questions. I felt a lot of my anxiety dissipate as she patiently answered all of my questions took the time to educate me about eye care. I really appreciated the intentional care and time she took to make me feel comfortable.

The staff were also both efficient and kind in all of their interactions with me throughout the process. I left the office feeling less anxious, way more informed, and more confident. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Almaden Eyes for anyone looking for an amazing optometrist!”

“Pretty much everything I was looking for in an optometrist, plus a few things I never knew I wanted!

The staff all have that small-town-vibe level of super-friendliness that you usually only see at these local institutions that have been a part of the community since forever-and-a-half-ago.

Scheduling and payment with the front desk were super quick and easy.

As for features I never knew I wanted from a provider - normally the prescription process is frustratingly opaque (no pun intended). Dr. Vu, though, explained my prescription in a way that was extremely helpful and allowed me to understand why there had been some inconsistencies between what previous providers had prescribed me.

I've also been told by previous providers that I have an ongoing dry eyes problem. Unlike those providers, though, Dr. Vu was able to explain that problem in a way that helped me understand what was at root of the issue as well as how to resolve the problem.”
