Optic Gallery

This is a tad late, but I recently talked my mother into getting her glasses updated for night driving purposes (she had been without glasses for almost 8 – 9 years!). She does NOT fancy/​trust doctors for the most part, or really anyone in what she considers to be in the «medical field». So I really built up Dr. Perez telling her that he was one of the most awesome and funny opticians I’d ever gone too and that I knew she would love him (even though I really wasn’t sure she would. hoping, but not sure). Well. the news was in after her eye exam… she ADORED him and thought was one of the coolest people she had ever come across. She no joke said, he was ‘real’, very funny and relaxing, and you only meet people like him once in a lifetime. That is HUGE coming from her because I hate to admit it, but her «bad vibe» radar can be quite accurate… obviously he’s just an all around cool guy. Another satisfied customer!

Doctor called and really cares about great customer service

Nice relaxed atmosphere, pleasant staff and doctor made me feel comfortable. There wasn’t any pressure to buy anything, but it was offered in a polite way, and I felt like the focus was on making sure I had great service and that my eyes where okay. Left with prescription for new glasses and a new place to go for any eye issues!

Professional, thorough and friendly. I would recommend Dr. Perez for all your eye care.

I was running really low on contact lenses so I decided to stop by Optic Gallery without an appointment. They’re conveniently located in the Walmart plaza on Rainbow/​215.
They were able to get me through the contacts exam in under one hour. The staff was super friendly in guiding me (now blind as a bat without contacts on) from one room to another for the typical exams. Although there was a slight hiccup — they gave me different contacts than what I currently wear — I highly recommend Optic Gallery and would personally use them again!

I was from out of town and had to get replacement glasses. I made an appointment and the friendly staff got me in and out within the hour from the eye exams and fitting for new frames. The optometrist is hilarious, great personality and sense of humor. Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to get an annual vision check up, glasses, and contacts.

Since I have been coming to this location, the staff here never let me down. Always helpful and have great customer service! :)
Dr. Perez is cool as well why would i change.

I just left from my first visit with Dr. Perez, and all I can say is WOW, just wow! His entire staff was kind, well spoken, and knowledgable. My appointment was timely, and believe it or not, enjoyable. No one ever thinks to enjoy any type of medical appointment, but I can honestly say Dr. Perez’s rapport and sense of humor made it easy! If you’re in the area, or even if you’re not, I highly recommend scheduling with his office; you won’t regret it! Two thumbs way way up!

Moved to a new area and needed a new eye doctor. Called a couple places as I needed an exam pronto as I had procrastinated and needed more contacts. No one could get me in until I called Optic Gallery. They got my husband and I in on a Sat morning no problem. We had our exam with Dr. Larry Perez. The doctor is awesome! He really took his time with both of us and addressed my husbands concern about having a bifocal when he did not think he needed it. The doctor agreed with him. The doctor was very approachable and friendly. After the appointment we went to check out glasses. They have a good selection of glasses for men and women. To name a few, they have Oakley, Ray Bans, Tom Ford, Prada, etc. They helped me order my contacts and fit my husband for glasses. He found a great pair which we got all set up with transitional, anti glare and anti scratch. Yes, it was an expensive day. but it is expected. Even if you go to the cheapest eye place you can find it will be expensive. That is what flex spending is for, right? The order came in about a week and we picked it up. Make sure if you order contacts you get the rebate form for some money back. My husband forgot to ask for it. I called them and they happily mailed me the rebate form to send in. Great place and would highly recommend for anyone in the southwest area.

Dr. Perez fixed the issue with my glasses! I was content with the outcome and thankful for his willingness to fix the problem. Unfortunately, after only having the glasses for less than a month after it was corrected I managed to lose them at the golf course last week which wasn’t typical of me so to punish myself I will not be getting a pair anytime soon. Although Mona offered a discount for a new pair, which was really nice of her, I declined. I will most probably go back to them when I finish saving up for new ones. Thank you!

Very friendly and helpful. I was a little disappointed at the selection of sunglasses, but their selection of regular eyeglass selection was decent. I didn’t get an eye exam there, but did meet the doctor and he was very personable. Their prices were very competitive with what I have been pricing at other optical shops in the valley.
I have done a lot of «window shopping» for regular eyeglass frames the past 3 months and have looked everywhere from Costco to shops at The Venetian and have priced frames ranging from $ 30 to $ 500. I was on the search for a funky, unique pair of frames… anything but your standard tortoise shell. Several pairs at The Optic Gallery were so unique that I up making a purchase! Can’t wait to pick up my new gold glitter cat eye frames that didn’t break the bank!

I’ve been a patient of Dr Perez for over 7 years. He is an outstanding doctor that cares about his patients like they were his own family. But what makes this organization a great one are the staff members. They are very knowledgeable and always smiling. All my friends, family members, and employees go there because they are the best!!! Don’t procrastinate go say hi to Ana and get your eyes checked…

Dr. Perez is always great! Very patient, wonderful store and the staff is always friendly. I highly recommend.

I was looking for an eye doctor that accepted my insurance (eyemed) and found Dr. Perez. I appreciated that I could make the appointment online (zocdoc) and that the location was close (right by Chipotle in Arroyo Crossing).
When I first walked in, there were quite a few other customers and I was told to wait a few minutes. The staff wasn’t rude, but I didn’t find them super-​friendly either. The tech who did the basic eye tests was courteous.
What really gives the place 5 stars is Dr. Perez. He isn’t out to sell you a new pair of glasses every year. Obviously, if you need them, get them, but his was honest — telling me that I should keep my same prescription and only get new glasses if I wanted different frames (my current glasses are about 5 years old). He said I could come back at a later time if I break my current pair and need new ones and wasn’t at all pushy about getting me to buy anything on the spot.

Another great experience today!
I had my yearly exam, fitted for contacts, and received them all within 45 minutes.
Awesome staff with an awesome Dr.

An excellent establishment, they fixed two of my glasses for free. I will be coming back here when I need glasses, excellent people here, extremely high-​quality glasses.

I went to Dr. Perez once and he was great doctor with a easy going personality. But this review is more about the staff.
I don’t order my contacts from them because I can find them cheaper online. I don’t have eye insurance so I pay for my appointment with Dr. Perez. I also bought a pair of glasses from them during my last visit.
So I recently opened up my last pair of contact lenses and the right eye was empty. I had already placed an online order so I called Optic Gallery and asked if they could give me a sample until my other lenses arrived. The woman that answered said she would call me back. She then proceeded to call me back and give me a hard time about it. I didn’t ask for an entire box or even both eyes. I asked for a sample for one eye. I even offered to pay for it. But because I didn’t order from them, she was inquiring if I had glasses I could just wear in the meantime and saying she normally didn’t do that, etc. So I told her I would just go to Wal-​Mart and buy a box for my right eye rather than being subjected to her rudeness.
I am sorry but that is poor customer service. My Rx is about to expire and I won’t be going back to Optic Gallery. I lost a contact once in San Diego and an eye doctor there went out of his way to call my eye doctor, verify my Rx and give me a sample. You would think the office I go to for my exams could extend the same courtesy.

Dr. Perez is an great guy and an even better doctor.
Going to get your eyes checked isn’t really a fun thing to do in my book but I actually look forward to catching up with Dr. Perez each year.
I’m terrible with my contacts — I am not a model patient by anyone’s standards. I hate people poking around in my eye, even when it’s me. The OG staff and Dr. P are just genuinely nice & helpful people.
I work in the medical\benefits industry, but it doesn’t take someone in the field to determine that if your prescription changes, you would more inclined to buy new glasses etc… So it’s not uncommon for a dishonest optometrist to tell you they’ve changed when in actuality — they’re the same. It’s not uncommon for an Optometrist to tell you a more expensive brand of contact lenses would benefit you more when your old brand is just as good. I’ve heard sad stories of people being taken advantage of just so they come out of pocket more than they needed to. It’s just plain dishonesty.
Not here, and not this guy.
There are hundreds of places in this city to get your eyes checked. If you are looking for someone who’s honest, helpful, and might actually make you ‘enjoy’ what is considered by many as unenjoyable — this is the place and this is the guy.

Walked in with my insurance card in hand and no appointments set. I was greeted at the front and gave them my card and let them know that i’m brand new and looking to set up shop at this location when it comes to optometry needs.
Would i like an appointment? Sure! How bout tomorrow at 10? Okay! Can you fill out some forms? Why the hell not?!
After forms were filled out i was informed that i could be seen by Dr. Perez right meow. Sweet.
The exam went pretty well and i got an updated prescription. It appears my left eye is a bit weaker than my right but for the moment Dr. Perez suggests i just stick to my current contact Rx and just get a fitting when i’m almost out.
After the exam i expressed an interest in getting some glasses. It took a while but the staff was extremely patient with me as i selected frames that fit my budget. In the end i got a nice set of Oakley frames, transitional lenses and other bells and whistles that ran me up a 250 bill.
There’s also a check in special for free optical cleaning fluid and microfibre cloth.

This was my first visit here and I couldn’t be more pleased! My doctor was Dr. Perez and he was awesome. He didn’t rush through the exam and reassured that I got all my questions answered. Furthermore, he took the time to explain a lot of things to me.
The staff at this location was pretty nice. The only iffy thing was that I was told my contacts were completely paid for via insurance and when I got there, they said I owed $ 15. Weird… I paid up anyway.
I would go here again.
