Tom Funnell, OD

We have been going to Dr. Funnell for many years. We continue to be very pleased with the service his office provides and will continue to use him for years to come.

Dr. Funnell & his staff are the best! Our great experience started with his office staff taking the time to figure out our confusing insurance. They were kind & patient. We had our whole family there for eye checks and since it was my son’s (6) first eye exam and he can be very touch phobic, I thought it would be good to see my husband & I get our eyes checked first. Dr. Funnell, spoke directly to my son & asked for his help doing our exams. My son was thrilled he got to push buttons to take pictures of our eyes & totally got over his fears quickly. His exam went much smoother than I ever anticipated.
Dr. Funnell was very throughout in his exam. We received a full explanation of our eyes & their health. We’ve been going to doctors who use the digital retinal scan for some time now, but no one has been as great explaining everything to us as he did. We are thrilled to have found this office!

Best, most knowledgable, most thorough eye doctor I have ever experienced in my 40+ years. A scientist really, Dr. Funnell uses a variety of instruments not found in most eye exam offices, to go beneath the surface to find how well the blood supply and other physical conditions are affecting my eyes. A true blessing to have found this doctor.

I love Dr. Funnell. He and the office staff are fantastic. A thorough exam and the doctor explains everything clearly. Very friendly and helpful. He was great with my 3.5 year old and made us feel welcome and comfortable.
While I was picking out glasses, my then 3-​month-​old became fussy and hungry. Nobody freaked out or made me feel uncomfortable when I had to breastfeed her while finishing up the transaction. Everyone was very patient with me and my very young children and that was refreshing.

I wholeheartedly recommend you see Dr. Funnell for your vision care.
I have been wearing glasses since grade school. Over the years, I went to about a dozen ophthalmologists and optometrists. It was not until I went to see Dr. Funnell that somebody diagnosed my true condition — I have a malformed cornea that requires a different treatment — not glasses. After seeing Dr. Funnel my corrected vision significantly improved. It has been fifteen years since that first visit and over that period he has continually added more advanced diagnostic equipment. Dr. Funnell enthusiastically stays current with the research. During my last round he prescribed a new type of contact that will get my vision to ²⁰⁄₂₀. Sounds unbelievable, but it is true!

Dr Funnell is a great guy, a great doctor and always a delight to visit for my eye exams. His staff and he really treat their patients like family. And who doesn’t love going over his hi-​tech scans of your eyes on his giant computer screen!
Recently, I had a detached retina, which ended up needing 3 operations by 2 specialists to repair. After the retina was reattached, due to an overcorrection with my cataract lense, I couldn’t focus and felt as if I was offbalance except when I closed my affected eye and looked thru the other. Both specialists just shrugged their shoulders and mumbled «give it time» or «better than being blind» sort of platitudes. I was seriously considering an eye patch and «going pirate»!
When I took my problem to Dr. Funnell, he immedietly was able to explain it and come up with a solution that has made my predicament much more livable. Thank you, Dr. Funnell!

I’ve been seeing Dr Funnell for many years and would not consider changing even though I no longer live close by. He’s great at his job, smart & savvy & high-​tech, but a really warm and sweet human being. That makes a huge difference to me. The staff reflects his values and you always feel well cared for when you come for your visit.

Dr. Funnell is brilliant and has been on the cutting edge of vision care for his entire career. He has the most up-​to-​date and progressive high tech diagnostic tools. He is associated with the most highly regarded specialists in his field. His support staff is excellent. Very personalized service. Great selection of frames, as well. Very convenient office hours.

Very Nice office they have very cool equipment not like other optometrist that their equipment is very old. They have a nice play area for kids that keep them entertained for a long time. The wait time might of been a little long just because I’m thinking that there is only one doctor there so it’s understanding. Will return again for any future appointments:)

This was by far the best eye doctor I’ve ever been to. Dr. Funnell, Colin and the front office staff offered exceptional service all the way around. I appreciated how Dr. Funnell takes his time to really explain things so that I understand. Iove the state of the art equipment that they have to give the best eye care service. My children are all seen here as well and they love it here. I highly reccommend this eye doctor.

Love Dr. Funnell, Colin, and the front office staff. Updated technology allows for a complete eye exam without those blasted eye drops causing dilation. Especially like the consultation given by the doctor on general eye health and potential problems on the horizon. Not having gone to school for that particular specialty, I wouldn’t know a lemon from an iris if it wasn’t explained to me.
A large selection of frames and there is a ‘budget bin’ of attractive options if one doesn’t have insurance. Still receiving compliments on the frames I chose at the last visit.

I’ve been wearing glasses for 30+ years and Dr. Funnell is the by far the best eye doc ever! His office staff was so friendly and helpful too. If you’re looking for the best in vision care, I highly recommend Dr. Funnell.

Dr Funell is the bomb! I love his chi chat n attention to each patient. I love it so much i took my momma and he was super nice to her and threw his bilingual skill in there for her. Best eye dr in town!

Tom Funnel is a great individual and professional. I would recommend him to anyone.

Came here with my son (5 yo) for his first eye dr app. The staff was great with him and the kid corner was keeping him entertained while I finished paperwork. Went to the back for his eye exam. Love love love Dr. Funnell and his staff! Made his exam into a game which kept it fun and entertaining with complete cooperation! Found that he needed eye glasses and went to pick some frames. After talking to my son about the style he wanted (Clark Kent) they picked some for him to try and he loved them. We will be coming here for his future eye care needs.

I’ve been going to Dr. Funnel for over five years now, my son is also a patient, i have recommended the Dr. To everyone that I know and will continue my relationship with the Dr. And his staff as long as he continues to practice eye care

great friendly atmosphere! very clear on all the test and explains everything in terms that were easy for my 11 year old to understand.

I was referred to Dr. Funnell by a friend and colleague over 2 years ago. Each time I visit his office I am made to feel at home by himself and his staff. The location is very clean and well maintained. Also, he always has the latest gadgets!
Dr. Funnell himself is very personable and easy to talk to. He addresses most questions you might have before you can even vocalize them and always in a very genuine way.
I recommend him to anyone who likes to know their options and have an understandable explanation given.

I discovered Dr Funnell about 25 years ago when he was located in the Mall. Dr Funnell has a true passion for what he does and is excited to explain the latest technology to his patients.
My wife and kids all go to Dr. Funnell and have found him to be great for all ages. My daughter has had vision challenges since early childhood, she is now in college, and Dr. Funnell has been there every step of the way.
The office staff is very knowledgeable and personable.
I recommend Dr. Funnell to all my friends and family.

I have been visiting Dr. Funnell since I was 12 years old, almost 20 years ago when they were located in the mall. I have always felt they put my best interests first rather than the sense that I am viewed as a cash piñata I feel when I walk into some other doctors offices. Their office worked with me through the years of poor-​college-​student, there are some strong reasons I make the trip from San Francisco to keep returning.
* Dr Funnel is always on the cutting edge of new technology and research in the field. He is excited to discuss it and frequently has recommendations on new products available.
* I have never had my pupils dilated. I have had many confused looks from friends over the years when I mention this. Dr Funnel has alternative equipment available that makes dilation unnecessary in many routine cases.
* The front-​desk staff are amazing. They are always cheerful and I usually find myself in a friendly conversation at every visit.
* Rapid response time. I call ahead for appointments and have always found availability within a reasonable time-​frame.
Wonderful practice, highly recommend.
