Linda Nguyen-Wei, OD

Pretty fantastic — Dr. Nguyen-​Wei is a great doc! She answered all my questions and was very professional. The office itself is clean and very modern. I highly recommend this place!

Way better than my old Optometrist. Dr. Linda Nguyen-​Wei is nice, thorough, and most of all HELPFUL. We talked for a while about my current contacts and some best practices for daily wear. She even told me about the special laser etching in my contacts that are used to properly position the contacts in your eye. I’ve been wearing this brand of contacts for 13 years, and none of my Optometrists have told me that!
The woman who works the front desk is awesome as well. Didn’t pressure me at all to buy a year supply of contacts or a pair of glasses. She was knowledgeable about my insurance as well. I’ll definitely be coming back next year!

Dr. Nguyen-​Wei is fantastic. She is friendly and incredibly knowledgable. She recommended a different size contact lens that is more comfortable and also figured out that my end-​of-​day blurred vision was due to dry eyes (something other optometrists could not figure out). A simple change of contact lens solution solves the second issue. Awesome.

I’ve been coming here for the past 3 – 4 years and Dr. Wei and Jessica are the best. Dr. Wei takes her time with you and is very thorough with her exams. She even asked me about broken shoulder several years ago!
Her assistant Jessica is the best! She helps with the exam, goes through your insurance and their discounts to find the best deal. She even fixed my glasses when I was careless and gave me her fashion advice without the pressure. There both super nice and really care about the details from the exams to getting your glasses done right the first time. I tell all my friends about them all the time.

If you’re looking for an eye doctor/​clinic, look no further! Dr. Nguyen-​Wei is super nice and knowledgeable. She takes her time, not rushing you and she’s very open to questions. I go to the eye doctor almost once every year, and have gone to a lot of doctors in the past four years — Dr. Nguyen-​Wei is one of the best ones!
Also, add Jessica (front desk) to the mix and it’s a party at this office! She’s super honest and helpful with everything from insurance stuff to picking out glasses/​lenses to adjusting my current glasses too!

I love this place! They were so nice and knowledgable! They took time to explain everything to me and listened to all my requests and specifics. I will definitely come back and highly recommend this place!

An absolute recommendation !!!
Dr. Nguyen is very accommodating and very detailed in her examination. She takes the time to listen what you have to say and addresses all your issues.
A wide variety of frames and lenses. Receptionist was very nice.
Overall, a great experience !! Definitely would recommend it to anyone looking for an optometrist

I have never really had an optometrist for more than a year at a time, as I have moved a lot and would tend to just go to someone that was convenient to my location. This all changed after seeing Dr. Nguyen-​Wei. My experiences with her have all been extremely positive and I feel that she goes out of her way to make sure I am comfortable during all of the exams. She was also very thorough with all of the options I had in terms of both different frames and contacts. I never felt rushed or pushed in any direction and am still very happy with the choices I ended up making.
Her office is also conveniently located and the receptionist is very friendly. She was able to help me navigate through my insurance questions and options. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new optometrist.

What a great find, very helpful from the time I walked in for an appointment all the way through to the exam. I felt well taken care of in this clean and safe office, also it was so easy for me to get to since I live and work in the area.
I would highly recommend to anyone living in SOMA or Downtown area! I’ll be back for years to come.

Best customer service ever. The receptionist, Jessica, was super helpful and made my week. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants personable experience.

I love these ladies… Not a very big selection of glasses or the most up to date cameras that take pictures inside your eye but super great! Love them :)

I missed the 3 month cut off to use a prior eye exam to grab contacts — by two weeks and they were going to charge a non-​insured price of $ 180.00.
I understand the concern that my eyes might have changed — but I missed it by two weeks — this is a price gauge and never coming back to this establishment again.

Dr. Nguyen-​Wei is a thorough, kind and overall excellent optometrist. I’ve recommended numerous friends and colleagues in the downtown area to this office, and I can’t imagine getting my eyes examined anywhere else.

Tucked in the corner behind some elevators is Dr. Nguyen-Wei’s modest, pristine, and cozy office.
Jessica is probably one of the most welcoming receptionists I’ve come across in recent history. Dr. Nguyen-​Wei is efficient, amiable, and sweet. I couldn’t be happier with the thoroughness and care she took in my exam.
Both of them give excellent advice on whether a frame will look good on your face and fit your style :)
Book online, show up, buy glasses, leave happy.

I’ve never felt inclined to Unilocal about anything besides food & drink, but my experience at Dr. Nguyen’s office was so great that it was worth writing a review.
First off, the office is by the elevators behind Optika. It looks like a dead end, but walk past the elevators, then turn right and that hallway will take you to their office.
My appointment was an hour before they closed and I was never rushed. 5 minutes before they closed Dr. Nguyen even asked if I had any questions. During the exam she educated me about symptoms of eye disease, something no other doctor has ever told me to look out for. She was honest, telling me that I didn’t need the more expensive astigmatism contact lenses for one of my eyes because the astigmatism was so light. Jessica, the receptionist was also great. Both on the phone and in person, she was ever so helpful and patient, and was very knowledgeable about how to help each patient best maximize their insurance coverage. I have never met a receptionist so dedicated to helping the patients save money! During my visit I also saw some first-​time contact lens wearers frustratingly trying to put in their contacts and both Dr. Nguyen and Jessica patiently sat with them and offered advice.
I feel so lucky to have discovered this place!

Small office in the SF Westfield mall. It was easy to get an appointment, the receptionist was really great and super helpful. Dr. Nguyen was very attentive and the overall experience was really good. I would definitely recommend them.

This place is amazing! From beginning to end, I received nothing but exceptional service. I called on a Saturday to see if they accepted my insurance (VSP) — they did, and even though I showed up 15 mins before they closed, the woman at the desk was extremely helpful. I never felt rushed and everything was explained very thoroughly.
I am indecisive and had a million questions and the lady who was helping me gave me every price option (twice), attitude free! YES. She recommended that I get my eyes checked anyway (even though my prescription was still valid) and I’m glad I took her advice!
Dr. Linda was great. She made me feel at ease and I was able to get in and out of the office during my lunch break. Turns out my vision had improved in one eye and worsened in the other.lol. Also, Dr. Linda was able to tell me what was growing on my right eye since the people at Kaiser were clueless –_​–
Selection may seem limited, but the quality is there. They carry great brands and I liked that there wasn’t an overwhelming selection… I can’t even decide what black sheer top I want to wear — and I own a ton of black sheer tops btw… and they all look the same.
I will definitely be coming back here, thanks again ladies!

Very nice, welcoming staff. Informative appointment. She explains a lot of what’s going on and what she sees. None of my previous eye doctors have given me as much info on my eyes as she has. Highly recommend!
It’s a little difficult to find since it’s past the elevators under the dome. Just call the office if you’re having a hard time finding it.

I work nearby and tried out this office for the first time… gotta say I loved it! The glasses area is super cute (reminds me of Maria Carey’s bathroom, sans the jacuzzi). Top 3 things:
1.) the doc (Dr. Linda) is AWESOME! I actually had a dry eye problem that I went to 2 other docs about, but they never figured out why my eyes kept burning. Thank god she helped me and now my eyes don’t burn at work. Also, I hate sitting with my face really close to the doc’s when they check your eyes, but she makes it much less awkward (i.e. she won’t creep you out, thank god). #1 thing about this clinic has gotta be Dr. Linda!!!
2.) The office is really convenient once you find it. I work nearby and can just plan on doing my shopping after I get my eyes checked, which is obviously a plus! Much better than going to a hospital and being around sick people when all you need is your eyes checked.
3.) The dilated eyes dilemma is solved! After seeing the eye doc, you can just go downstairs and get a cream puff after you get your eyes dilated and can’t drive home. Um, could there be a better solution?
Overall, big thumbs up to this new clinic! If you are looking for a new doc or don’t like your current doc, they are super helpful (esp if you have insurance questions) AND you can get a CREAM PUFF when you can’t drive home!

* HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! * AMAZINGLY FRIENDLY * PROFESSIONAL *
I came here to get my annual eye exam and I had such a wonderful experience. My appointment started on time. Yay! Linda was very gentle, thorough, knowledgeable and helpful. She was very easy to share my concerns with and that’s a big plus for me. I feel that she has my interest at heart and it shows.
Oh, I started going to Linda for eye exams a couple of years ago when she was servicing in Sacramento. I really like her and when she relocated to San Francisco, I make it a day trip to visit SF (I go there often anyways) and get my eye exam.
Btw, I like how the office is clean and neat. =)
