Park Place Optometry

Very Efficient Eye Doctor. I was rubbing my eyes and lost my left hard contact lens. This is not my first time losing a contact lens…I need to stop rubbing my eyes. It gets expensive replacing my hard contacts because they are custom made. …Anyway, it’s Friday afternoon and I need to get a replacement contact asap.

I remember seeing an optometry office next to my favorite Starbucks. Dr. Tran was very helpful. I explained my situation and he said that he would try to rush the order for me before his lab closes. He ran a few tests on my eyes and told me to wait for him. He came back 10 minutes later with good news. He called his lab and they were able to make it immediately. Dr. Tran told me to come in Sat to pick up my contact because he had them overnight it.

We finished the exam and he showed me how to wear soft contact lenses. He gave some 1 day contact lenses to wear so I can drive home safely.

He also prescribed me some allergy medications for my itching… my eyes are a lot more comfortable since.

Never tried soft contacts before... I like the comfort. I should switch to soft contacts.

Overall, Dr. Tran is very professional and competent. Thank you for taking care of me. I appreciate it.

The doctor had a very strange, hostile attitude, and didn't seem to have any interest in the patient's opinions or preferences. He was extremely impatient with my 13-year-old daughter who was trying on contacts for the first time ever, telling her she couldn't do it after literally about 5 seconds of trying to put contacts in her eyes (she was involuntarily shutting her eyes, as it was her first time). Very negative, almost mean to my daughter with some of his comments. I expected quite a bit more patience from an optometrist regarding a 13-year-old who is attempting to wear contacts for the first time ever. I even heard him loudly complaining about us to the assistant in the other room when he stepped out. Very unprofessional. There's no excuse for the treatment we got today. Contrast this with the extremely patient and kind treatment I got from my optometrist when trying contacts for the first time as a youngster - truly night and day. I wish that optometrist was still around. Oh well. On the positive side, the assistant was nice and patient with my daughter. Too bad the assistant wasn't the doctor, though!
