Santee Family Optometry

Santee Family Optometry is the best! From the Optometrist who is so explanatory about everything going on with your eyes. He is cutting edge. And so very kind. The entire staff is very professional and accommodating. I actually went in three times before my appointment to look at there glasses. Im so picky. They were very patient with me. There selection of glasses is the best I've ever seen! I picked the most beautiful Gucci that were priced very reasonable. I cant wait to get them. If your looking for glasses and a great exam I highly recommend SFO! I drove from Ramona! So worth the drive. Keep up the stellar job!

Excellent optometrist! Would highly recommend. Have been going to Dr Patel for 10+ years. The best of the best! Have taken all my kids to him as well. Nice, clean office. Friendly staff.

Great doctors, terrible office management and scheduling. The communication is awful and scheduling is a nightmare. They may or may not let you know if they've kept your appointment they have you schedule a year in advanced or if they've decided to cancel or reschedule it. They may or may not call you if your insurance isn't updated before your appointment, if your glasses have come in, or if your doctor is no longer available. They'll send you vague texts about appointments they ask you to schedule around, but won't work with you about over-scheduling themselves or if they become unavailable... for the appointment they scheduled... a year in advance. The website is outdated and you can't check if they've kept these appts since they're always changing unless you take initiative to contact them and find out they canceled your appt without letting you know. But, the doctors are nice enough!

I cannot recommend Dr. Patel highly enough! I have going to him for years. From the first time I walked into the office, I felt welcomed, cared for, and completely at ease. Dr. Patel is the definition of a compassionate, thorough, and highly skilled eye care professional. During my exams, he takes the time to explain everything clearly -- from the results of my eye tests to the options available for treatment or correction. I have never felt rushed, and it is obvious that patient care is his top priority. His attention to detail and commitment to excellence are evident in every part of the visit. Not only is Dr. Patel incredibly knowledgeable, but he also has a warm, approachable personality that makes appointments something to look forward to rather than dread. The staff is equally wonderful -- professional, friendly, and organized. If you're looking for an eye doctor who genuinely cares, listens, and provides top-tier care, Dr. Patel is the one. I'm so grateful to have found such an amazing provider. My vision -- and my trust -- are in the best hands!

I had a great first experience with Dr Guiang. He was very thorough in explaining test results, caring and understanding. He listened and answered all of my questions with a smile!

Dr. Patel and his staff are all awesome! From the moment I walked into Santee Family Optometry, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. Dr. Patel is knowledgeable, patient, and truly takes the time to listen and explain everything clearly. The staff is friendly, professional, and efficient, making the entire visit smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Dr. Patel's office to anyone looking for excellent eye care and outstanding customer service.

They were very accommodating with helping me find an appointment. The staff was very flexible and took us in before our appointed time. The examination was very efficient. Our experience was extremely good. I would highly recommend.

I had a great experience with this optometrist. They were very kind, patient, and took the time to really listen to my concerns about my eye issues. I never felt rushed, and they explained everything clearly so I could understand my options. It was reassuring to feel like they genuinely cared about helping me. The staff was also wonderful -- the optician who helped me with my glasses was very friendly and made the process easy and comfortable. Overall, the whole team was helpful and professional. I left the appointment feeling well taken care of, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring eye doctor.
