Dr. Poon was professional, nice, very thorough, and respectful. It was my first time at this optometry office. Adrianna, the reception/office personnel was VERY good when I called to make my initial appointment. I told her that I was a new patient. She explained everything to me and was very good at communicating the services that this office offered. She helped me check out, order my new contact lenses, and even made my next appointment for next year. I will return as a patient and refer my wife to go.

Thank you for the great customer service, for giving me details and showing me images and explaining to me about my eye exam. First time I've ever had everything explained and shown to me in detail. Will be back with my family! Thank you again. Peggy Aleman

I saw Dr. Poon for the first time. Yes, he appears quite young but he smiles easily and is efficient plus extremely thorough. I would only ask that he slow down just a touch for us "older folk".

I have been under the care of Dr. Middleton for 35 years and have been so blessed by his kindness, friendship, and expert care I have received . Thank you so much, it's been a great yearly tradition to have my eyes checked and catch up over the years events. Most definitely 5 plus stars.

I received friendly professional quality service and I highly recommend Family Optometry Center
Mar 10, 2021
I like the new doctor. I was surprised that Dr. Middleton did not send out a notice he was retiring and introduce us to the person he sold the practice to. But I am glad he sold it to the new doctor that he did. I felt very well cared for during my appointment with him.

Staff was really great at the front. Friendly, made you feel like you were the customer . Optometrist was good, on the Eye exam he was a little fast. Had to ask serval times to slow down when flipping lenses. Otherwise really good

I really was pleasantly surprised. Everyone was kind and professional. Close to my house - even better!!

Your office is always wonderful. Timely and efficient. I'll miss Dr. Middleton but will see you in March for my annual eye appointment. Thanks you for taking such good care of Alan and myself.
Feb 15, 2021
It is always a very pleasant experience whenever I've come to Family Optometry. The office girls are super friendly and sweet. Dr. Middleton is very professional yet warm and never seems rushed! I have always gotten excellent eye care and matters are always well explained. Thanks!
Feb 12, 2021
It was my first time going here, and I had a really great experience. From the moment I came in every single one of the staff was so welcoming and sweet . They weren’t rushed or impatient with one another a really good work team I plan on keeping them as my regular eye care facility.
Feb 12, 2021
Have been a patient with Family Optometry and Dr. Middleton for years and highly recommend them. Congratulations on your retirement Dr. Middleton, you will be missed. Looking forward to meeting our new doctor next year.

Jan 18, 2021
The best eye Dr. and group to feel welcome and that "I'm" important... Dr Middleton and his staff are the model of what customer service "is" with an amazing level of professionalism... During this pandemic I have always felt safe and secure about using a public service... Dr Middleton is really a rare find in my humble opinion because he asks the right questions and makes sure you understand what is happening... Highly recommended as we had a very close friend recommended him for our first visit... mahalo for listening
Jan 11, 2021
It was my first time here and doubt I’d be returning. My doctor’s mask kept slipping and the majority of the time his mask didn’t fully cover his nose. The lady who helped take the photos in the beginning also sneezed in front of me, she could have sneezed into her elbow. Throughout my appointment, the doctor had trouble hearing me to the point where I felt like I had to yell 1,2 or same multiple times. I was stressed the entire appointment time from potentially contracting covid (with the practices I’ve seen this office conduct) to the constant raise of my voice and his unfriendly tone.
Dec 25, 2020
Always a great experience!
Dec 21, 2020
All went well. I was well taken care of.
Dec 16, 2020
I love Dr. Middleton! He went above and beyond to make sure my vision was as close to 100% as it could be. For years, I've been having issues with my vision and I went to numerous optometrists, but no one was as thorough as Dr. Middleton. He figured out the problem and it turns out I needed a whole different prescription for one eye. I am so blessed to have been able to be seen, Thank you Dr. Middleton. Merry Christmas!
Dec 14, 2020
We've been patients for 20 years and are always happy to return to Family Optometry Center. Three generations of our family now happily use the center.
Dec 11, 2020

The staff and Dr Middleton are awesum and amazingly organized... Dr Middleton is outstanding at listening about all concerns and giving advice... I appreciate his commitment to his clients... I would highly recommend since he was recommended by a close friend and well worth the trip from Lake County... mahalo

By far the best staff and the best Eye Doctor ever! I can't believe the service and the attention to detail. Thank you all for the overwhelming support throughout the years. Jay Conrad

After many years it really does feel like a family. Dr. Middleton will be very much missed, but I’m glad to meet Dr. Poon and look forward to continuing under his care.
Sep 28, 2020
Dr Ian continues to provide the same high quality and up to date eye care even after 20 years as my provider. He ensures complete assessments in overall eye health not just the need for glasses.
Sep 25, 2020
Dr Middleton is thoughtful and professional. The staff was helpful, COVID-aware and courteous. Always good to be aware of my vision health as I age. They have added even more diagnostic technologies.
Sep 19, 2020
Dr. Middleton is fantastic. His new partner is not terrible but hurries through the process in a way I find off-putting. And in these times in particular he should try to find a mask that fits him.
Sep 17, 2020
Excellent service and doctors
Sep 14, 2020
As usual, I enjoyed my appt. very much and felt that I was getting the very top professional eye care available.

Aug 10, 2020
Very helpful, informative, and kind.
Aug 5, 2020
All of the staff was wonderful. Dr Middleton, thanks for the name of your cataract surgeon, I think I will use him for my procedure. I will let you know when I make the appointment so you can send over a "heads up" report? Blessings, Doug Whited
Jul 24, 2020

Dr.Middleton and his staff are experts in eye care. During the two years that I’ve been a patient, I’ve really appreciated Dr. Middleton’s thorough eye exams so I could get the most accurate and comfortable prescriptions possible. He is an expert in eye care and he really does make sure to give the most in-depth eye exam I‘ve ever had each time I’ve been there. His staff were friendly and helpful in all ways. I will definitely be going back to Dr. Middleton’s office next year!!! Thank you Family Optometry Center!!! A+++ service and experience!!

Once again I was able to make an appointment and get in as I needed, even with the shut down. Dr. Middleton is a very good Dr. and I have been pleased with his work for over 5 years.
May 11, 2020
I really appreciate the amazing customer service I received during my recent visit. Everyone that worked with me was patient and listened well. My eye exam was one of the most thorough exams I have gotten. The ladies and the doctor gave me options and I did not feel any pressure to purchase anything. Overall rating...5 star!!!!!!!

Great bedside manner with excellent professional service.
Mar 16, 2020
Great team there and really appreciated the time spent with me. Dr Ian was great as always, and flexible when I had to make sure to leave by a certain time. Only sad thing is Adriana is leaving, and she will be missed for sure! Marisol has some big shoes to fill, but I am sure she is up for it.
Mar 5, 2020

Feb 6, 2020
I feel like I am getting a really complete eye exam at Family Optometry. It's also very convenient to be able to get glasses at the same place.
Jan 27, 2020
Everyone in the office is so helpful and friendly. The office manager is so kind and welcoming. Dr. Middleton is very thorough. Leanne and Mariella always know just how to help in picking out frames.
Jan 23, 2020
All the staff is very polite and professional. Dr. Middleton is the best... it will be a great loss when he decides to retire.

I always enjoy coming in to see Dr. Middleton, he is a great eye doctor. It will be sad to see him go when he finally does retire. The staff that are in the office are great.
Dec 13, 2019
Dr. Middleton and his staff are always extremely friendly, caring & knowledgeable.
Nov 18, 2019
My opinion is that this is likely the best place in Santa Rosa to get a comprehensive eye exam.
Nov 18, 2019
The entire staff at Family optometry goes above and beyond to accommodate their patients. Dr. Middleton by far is the best optometrist I have seen in my 62 years. I have seen many during my time since I have needed vision correction all my life. Dr. Middleton has taken the time to totally understand what I needed as a patient by making sure he did everything he knew to help me personally. A good example is when he took close to two and a half hours to go through all the possible Toric lenses to check to see a conformable fit for my one eye. No other optometrist did that. As it turns out one manufacturer made a lens that fit me perfectly. I truthfully can say for the first time in my life I can clearly see out of my left eye.
Nov 18, 2019
Friendly staff. Very helpful and informative too.
Nov 13, 2019
Family Optometry is great! Everyone in the office is always super friendly, extremely helpful and extensively knowledgeable. It’s always a great experience visiting the office!

Oct 31, 2019
I experienced another excellent eye appointment at Family Optometry on Tuesday, 10/21/19. Dr. Middleton gave me a very professional and thorough checkup. I appreciate the excellent and friendly service I received from Samantha, Arianna, Leanne, & Kimberly the trainee. Sincerely, Ron
Oct 25, 2019
I’ve been going to this optometrist for about ten years. I absolutely love the services I receive at this office. I get the best care and always learn more about eye health.
Sep 23, 2019
Amazing attention to detail!
Sep 20, 2019
Dr. Middleton’s expertise is clear, yet he is personable and actually listens to both your short and long-term vision goals. The staff is also terrific and have been there long enough to know you (even if you are only in annually). Staff identified a small irregularity in a lens a couple of years ago and pressed for a perfect set on my behalf.
Sep 18, 2019
Health of the Eye emphasis and ability to see Dr. Middleton great. People throughout are kind and explaining, patient. HIs investing in back of the eye image machine, is huge patient benefit most probably don't know of. Dr. and assistant explained and showed me why so important. Clearly a knowledge based operation.
Sep 16, 2019
This was an excellent experience. Very efficient and professional. Plenty of time to consult with the optometrist and great staff.
Aug 29, 2019

Aug 21, 2019
I have been going to Dr. Ian Middleton for around 5+ years now and he is honestly the best optometrist there is here in Santa Rosa. He is super caring and welcoming every time we come in. His services are the best and super professional. The rest of the staff that work there are always super sweet and helpful aswell. Definetly recommend going to him you won’t be disappointed.
Aug 19, 2019
Dr Ian Middleton is a wonderful eye doctor. Professional and caring, I know my eyes are getting the attention they need. The staff is helpful as well and quite knowledgeable! Always a good visit.
Aug 19, 2019
Dr. Middleton provided the most thorough eye exam I can remember as well as clear explanations of his findings. It was an "eye opener" for me with much to follow up on.
Aug 14, 2019
My personal experience was one of Excellence which is rare to see these days. They not only answered the phone in a professional and courteously, but also they walked the talk upon my arrival & entire appointment.

Mar 27, 2019
This visit was extremely thorough! All the information and options were explained in layman's terms. I know what might happen as I age. Dr. Ian is very personable as well. He recommended I wait to refill my prescription as my vision had.not.change enough to warrant the expense of new specs. Not all docs are that considerate of my budget. Overall a very productive session as usual.
Mar 27, 2019
Wonderful office, friendly staff, great eye care!

I had the best experience with Dr. Middleton and his staff! The efficiency of the exam and all the tests that they do was incredible. I felt like I was really well taken care in the office by the whole staff. When it came to picking out my new pair of glasses it was such a seamless process. They picked out the perfect pair that fit my face perfectly. I can’t wait to get my new glasses! Everyone in the office is so friendly and so knowledgeable! I am so happy to have Dr. Middleton as my new eye doc! Highly recommended!

I’ve been going to Dr. Middleton for about 14 years. He is very thorough and a very pleasant person as well. His staff is well-trained, knowledgeable, and very friendly. I’ve recommended him to many people over the years.
Jan 14, 2019
I had a great visit! I was a little early so they started helping me pick out my frames. Then it was my appointment time and they got me right in, did my eye exam and I finished with my frames. The staff was amazing and so nice.
Dec 31, 2018
This was a very pleasant visit. I have absolutely no complaints of any kind. Everyone was pleasant, professional, explained each procedure and did not waste any time. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone needing eye care.
Dec 27, 2018
Dr Middleton and his staff are professional, pleasant, friendly, and on time. The office is neat and clean. In a world that is seeing big corporations take over health care, I value a solo practitioner that treats me like a member of his family.
Dec 14, 2018
There is a reason that I keep coming back to Family Optometry Center.The staff is wonderful & the atmosphere is relaxing & inviting. Samantha runs a great ship & is so easy to work with. Dr. Middleton is a thoughtful & caring person with a lot of expertise.I love that he continues to hone his skills year to year.I have been coming to see him for almost 50 years & he makes my old eyes better.
Dec 13, 2018
I was treated in a timely, professional and respectful manner. Everything was thoroughly explained.
Dec 12, 2018
I was concerned about an eye condition so I called Dr. Middleton’s office. I have been a patient for years and always have a great experience at his office. This time Samantha got me an appointment within a short time of my call, and I was seen right away. This is a great office and I always feel I get the best of care.
Dec 10, 2018
Great experience and will definitely be back for future appointments.

FRIENDLY AND ABOVE. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Nov 5, 2018
Everybody was cheerful, friendly, and helpful. The exam moved crisply, in a timely way.
Oct 31, 2018
I was greeted when my hand was still on the door and I was made to feel welcome immediately. Ariana took me in for some initial screenings and she did a great job of explaining everything to me in a way that didn't make me feel ignorant, but improved my experience. Dr. Middleton was kind and personable. He and his staff did a very thorough exam and exceeded my expectations. The advanced technology was quite impressive. When I inquired about contacts Dr. Middleton put a pair in my eyes to let me try them out. I was assisted by Marielle in choosing new glasses. This is admittedly a stressful time for me because I never know what is covered by my insurance and how much my out of pocket cost will be. This is the first office I have ever been to that previewed my insurance and let me know what was covered and what wasn't. It was so comforting and allowed me to shop within my budget. Marielle knew her stock so well and listened to what I was wanting. So much so that I chose the first pair of frames she suggested I try! At the end of my visit I made an appointment for a contact lens fitting with Samantha. Since I've never worn contacts before Samantha explained in detail what to expect for the next appointment and I learned things I didn't expect to learn that allow me to be better prepared to make a decision about contacts. Again, the costs were completely disclosed up front. Overall, this office experience made me feel cared for. I made an appointment for my daughter before I left because I knew she would be in good hands there.

I have been coming to Dr. Middleton for decades. As always, his office staff does a great job and he is the best!
Oct 22, 2018
Places like this are getting harder and harder to find. Dr. Middleton goes above and beyond to make sure your vision is as good as possible when you leave the office. He and the rest of the staff are all very attentive, and I've never once felt rushed (even when I spent hours trying to find *just* the right frames). Last time I was in the office I just mentioned that when I wear my contacts my eyes will sometimes feel itchy or tired at the end of the day, and he found a different brand of lens that has totally fixed all of that. I highly recommend this office, and won't go anywhere else now!
Oct 19, 2018
Great,freindly,and professional.
Oct 18, 2018
The staff were top of the line! It was if I went back in time when the customers were important. I would recommend this experience to everyone. The thoroughness of the exam, with all the sophisticated equipment, made me feel as my eye sight was as important to them as it was to me.
Oct 9, 2018
Great Service! Variety of inventory for all prices.
Oct 9, 2018
I have been a patient of Dr. Middleton's since the late 1970's shortly after he started his practice. I have always had thorough exams, clear explanations, and help in maintaining good vision and eye health. As a patient who has always asked a lot of questions, I have appreciated his willingness to answer. Now that I need to consider cataract surgery, I expect to have my questions and concerns answered carefully before I choose how to take this step.
Oct 3, 2018
The entire staff is knowledgeable, efficient and enthusiastic. I appreciate the exceptional care. Keep up the great work!

Dr. Middleton and the Family Optometry Center is just wonderful. I have had fair to middling service at other locations with other doctors, then I came here. What a difference! The kindness and professionalism are top drawer. Further, Dr. Middleton does not hesitate to obtain and utilize the latest and best equipment to examine your eyes. I always walk out of the Center with a smile. I have been very happy with my new glasses. Five stars on every visit.

this was my first visit with Dr. Middleton and i must say that it was incredibly thorough, informative, and collaborative. the entire staff was friendly and knowledgeable in their roles in the entire process and they were very helpful in making the most informed choices for my needs. Dr. Middleton's use technology really helped in providing a visual context in my ongoing eye care. i was very, very impressed and would, without hesitation, recommend his practice to anyone.

I drive 2 hrs to have appointments with Dr Middleton, thats how much I value his care and the care his staff provide.

I've always enjoyed my experience with staff and Dr Middleton from my 1st visit. I do recommend your office to friends.

I really liked it when Dr. Middleton got his IPad and we discussed a problem I thought I was having in a personal, practical, and individualized way.

Each visit surpasses my expectations—the front office staff is so professional & friendly.... & Dr Middleton is “highly experienced, detailed, explains diagnosis clearly and is delightful too! Thank you for a terrific medical experience
Jul 14, 2018
The front office gets an A+ in service and all the ladies do an outstanding job to make the time pleasant.

I'm completely satisfied with the care I was given by Doctor Middleton. He was thorough and went the extra mile to research and understand a rather unique genetic condition I have. This really allowed me to be an advocate in my own care. The other staff was warm & friendly. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left I felt like a cared for individual, not "just another" patient. Family Optometry really deserves the word "Family" in their title, as in contrast to many other optometrists I've been to, this office was like coming home.

It was a pleasant visit. Ariana was extremely helpful and professional. Her outward positive attitude was refreshing.

My wife and I have enjoyed the expertise and cordiality of Dr. Ian Middleton and his staff in different venues since 1970. The amazing staff at the Family Optometry Center is an excellent compliment to Dr. Middleton's continued exceptional care. They genuinely care about their patients and their continued eye health. We hope to utilize this organization for our on-going eye care needs for many years.

Outstanding service and care. In my many decades of eye exams with many different providers, I can highly recommend, without qualification, Family Optometry and Dr. Middleton. I'm so fortunate that I found this office when I moved to Santa Rosa.

The best eye exam I've had in the thirty+ years I've worn glasses.
Dec 1, 2017
I called Ian Middleton in the a.m. to tell him my right eye was acting strange and Iwas concerned it might be serious. He looked at his schedule and asked if I could come in today. I said yes. He looked at everything and we talked about it. He helped me understand what was going on. I appreciate that he was able to see me so quickly. Thank you so much. It was a relief knowing it was nothing too serious.
Nov 28, 2017
It was very nice talking to you and your assistance.that being said the eye drops used to see the back of my eye stil really bothers me significantly and feels like light hurts my eyes even after more than 24 hours . Seems like it will continue to bother me for a number of days like it has in the past.it is very bothersome Take catre Steven Friedland

I am happy to have found Dr. Middleton's Family Optometry Center. Dr. Middleton provides excellent care, and he explains everything without hurry, and in great detail, which I appreciated. He has an outstanding staff, eager to help you in any way, and his Optician Arianna, was not only competent, but very friendly, and her smile lit up the room! It was a great experience.
Sep 12, 2017
Obviously the five stars shown above reflect both patient and business summation. It is always a pleasure to be greeted by both receptionist and Samantha, who seems to be the captain of the entire enterprise. When Dr. Middleton arrived at my room, he immediately took charge and discussed the various steps needed to undergo cataract surgery. By having pertinent questions ready, I was able to expedite the important information needed. In fact, I recommend all patients do their homework prior to arriving at a visit. But what clinched the five-star award was the speed with which Samantha was able to schedule my appointment with an ophthalmologist. When I thanked her for her efforts, she replied, "My pleasure.' No, Samantha. Your help was my pleasure.
Aug 25, 2017
I have been going to see Dr. Middleton for many years. Have always been treated very well. His staff are the best. He also has all the top new machines that detect problems quickly. I would recommend him highly.

This office is excellent. I have been seeing Dr. Middleton for many years and he is the best! I have always been fitted with a prescription that was accurate therefore providing me with excellent vision. I was post cataract surgery and a little upset about my vision and they got me in the same day I called. I felt so much better and more informed after visiting with Dr. Middleton. He laid out my options and we will go from there.

I didn't think/know I had macular degeneration in my left eye. I had been mis-diagnosed as having it years ago. When you said I had it yesterday, it seemed like you thought I knew it and it was no big thing (but for me it is a big thing). If I do have it, how long have I had it? Or is this something new? Please call 527-4947. I need a clearer explanation.
Mar 15, 2017
I have been coming to Dr. Middleton since I was a child, and now my husband, children, and I all come to get our eyes examined. We thoroughly love the care we receive knowing how very important our vision is for every day life and living. As we get older, it's nice knowing our optometrist has a long history with us, knows us personally, and keeps our vision at the best it can be each year!
Mar 14, 2017
Staff is very kind and put my anxiety at ease. The appointment went quickly and they were all very kind to my young niece. So happy I found this place.

Dr. Middleton is a wonderful doctor and person. I am truly grateful that he hasn't retired yet! He has been my eye Dr since I was 12. I've only ever had one other eye Dr and that was only bcs I moved to Los Angeles. No one could compare to Dr Middleton both in terms of quality of care and quality of character.

Excellent as always. Except for one thing. Dr Middleton seemed a little perturbed that I buy my contact lenses at Costco, but let them put new ones in at the exam. I thought that was included with the exam. I am happy to pay you for the ones he put in my eyes. Just let me know the cost please.

Very Expensive, I got charged $210 for a routine eye exam, everywhere else is around $100 I didn't see why they believe they're %100 better, not worth it. I also purchased a pair of glasses for $350 at Cosco, they were going to charge me $550 for the same glasses. I don't understand why, it pays to shop around.
Oct 11, 2016
Our family has gone to Family Optometry Center, and before that, to Ian Middleton's private practice since we arrived in Sonoma County in 1976. There has never been a reason to change, since both Dr Middleton, other doctors, and support staff have all taken care of everything needed to keep our vision needs and eye health at their best. Everyone on the staff is friendly, helpful and accurate.

Jackson Lau has proven competent in his takeover role, with Rick and Samantha always present to provide assistance and on occasion comic relief. I do believe that Dr. Middleton should have sent out notices to his following, announcing that he would be cutting back to day ps a week. Professionals in other fields do so.
Apr 23, 2016
In general very good service. You could be a little more efficient. I spent 30 minutes waiting to speak with the doctor after we had gotten started. You are processing a lot of people and this can happen. Perhaps you could not try to push so many people through. Slow down enjoy life.

Everything went very well. I agreed to dilation and although I continued to wear my sun glasses throughout the day, even indoors, I experienced only mild discomfort. My eyes felt irritated and were light sensitive. I applied Systane Ultra at bedtime and by the next day my eyes were less sensitive. I trust my next dilation will be equally uneventful.

I wouldn't change anything. Dr. Middleton is not only a good optometrist but a very nice man. He used a few tests I hadn't seen before. I would recommend him to anyone. My husband is my first referral and will use him for his next eye exam and next pair of glasses. Leanne, who fit my glasses, understands perfect fit as well as the right style. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

As soon I got home after my last visit on Thursday, 11/19, I called Family Optometry. A female answered the phone (she did not give her name);I asked to speak to Eric and she told me he was helping a customer. I told her my name and said I understood he was busy, but would she ask him to call me back. She said yes and hung up before asking for my number (I'm assuming she already had it). I did not receive a call back that evening, so I figured Eric had been too busy and he would call me on Friday. Unfortunately, no call on Friday either. I was hoping to speak with Eric because he was in the treatment/exam room during my visit with Dr. Lau. I find Eric to be very nice and helpful. I was hoping to share with Eric my disappointment with my visit. When I left I was angry, frustrated and upset. I arrived for a post follow-up visit from having two cataract surgeries the month before. This would be the third visit since having the surgery. I was seen by a Dr. Lau? It was never explained to me why Dr. Lau...where was Dr. Ian Middleton? I didn't even know there was a Dr. Lau working with Dr. Middleton; this was never discussed with me. I found Dr. Lau to be very condescending, and lacking in his knowledge of my case. He contradicted almost everything I'd been told my Dr. Middleton during my last two visits and when I would mention what I had been told by Dr. Middleton, his comment to me (at least 10 times) was that he would need to read my notes!!! I don't understand why a Dr. not familiar with my case would be performing my follow-up visit, let along NOT read my notes, so he could speak with some intelligence regarding my case. I explained to Dr. Lau that I was experiencing a lot of discomfort, tiredness and irritated eyes; at one point during the visit, Dr. Lau stated that there were two issues, one was my vision and the other my comfort. He only addressed the vision; ordering even another pair of glasses?? So, if I have this correct, I will know have computer/near vision glasses, distance glasses and will require sunglasses for both??? It wasn't until I asked again about the discomfort,tired, burning eyes and asked about drops that he offered them. I don't expect perfect vision; I do however, expect to be seen by a Dr. that knows my case. I didn't appreciate being seen by Dr. Lau. Also now, after seeing Dr. Lau, I'm more confused than ever, because they did not coincide with what Dr. Middleton has been telling me. Also at no time was it ever explained to me that by removing the cataracts my vision would be worse, resulting in going from one pair of glasses to two. If I'd known this I would've lived with the cataracts, at least I could see. Debbie Semrau

I have received quality care and attention from everyone I've interacted with at Family Optometry each and every time over the past many years. I do want to make special mention regarding Samantha: she is just awesome!

Ms. Samantha Mineo, Front Office Coordinator, provided professional and friendly service as always. Rick, an Office Technician, professionally conducted three tests, pertaining to the health and range of my vision. Dr. Ian Middleton has been my health care vision provider for over 30 years. He has always provided professional, knowledgeable, and very personable service and advice.

Fine visit. Thorough test and all my options were explained. No pressure to buy.
Nov 17, 2015
I found your office to be very friendly and professional. You're the only practice that paid enough attention to realize I am a doctor and that's how you greeted me. Dr. Lao is great and will refer patients to him. Thank you

I was very impressed and happy with the visit and outcome. Sean and Dr. Lau were very competent and fun to be with, and I appreciated the time they took to explain the tests and the results. I really enjoyed the hi-tech scanning equipment and seeing the images. Sean was great at helping me chose frames and especially the lenses. I guess I had been putting off a vision appointment for the last 3 years because my last one was so disappointing, with old equipment and unsure staff. Many thanks to you all for a rewarding afternoon!

Great visit as always. Samantha is a true asset to Family Optometry, and it was a pleasure working with Rick as well. Dr. Middleton is never allowed to retire!!!
Nov 10, 2015
Always a good visit. Samantha is the best. All staff is very professional and friendly. Great to meet Dr. Lau. Thanks! Y

I really appreciated your flexibility in accommodating my last minute need to shorten my appointment and reschedule some of the tests for a later date. I was able to make the deposition meeting on time. THANKS!!!

Your staff consistently provides friendly, efficient and professional service. It is reassuring to see the same familiar faces staffing your office at my annual visits. Thank you for providing excellent service!

Insurance and financial options always feel like a used car dealership in east LA. I never leave feeling warm and fuzzy. Paid cash for my sun glasses but got a discount. Although with the ins I end up paying more. I don't understand why I have a $20.00 co-pay when I have double ins coverage. Asking my vision plan to double check

Excellent place, my first visit and I felt Like I've been going here for years...

Thank you so much for a great experience. I had been very disappointed by the service I received at another provider, and am so happy I came back to you! Each person I met treated me like a pwrson, listened to my concerns, and really helped me come away with what I needed. Thank you again!
Aug 25, 2015
Dr. Middleton is very professional and thorough in his evaluations and takes time to answer questions and diagnose conditions. My hope is that he will soon find a partner who can share the work load.
Aug 24, 2015
Everyone is so friendly and helpful and willing to spend as much time as needed for their clients. I appreciate the(hopefully)honest feedback when trying on frames.
Aug 18, 2015
I love coming to your business--everyone is incredibly friendly and competent.

Enjoyed meeting Dr. Middleton, Sean, and Samantha. All of you were very helpful. I was particularly impressed with the Doctor's thoroughness and knowledge. Very professional and well done. Thank you.

I appreciated how friendly everyone was, it made me feel at ease--as I was very anxious about this appointment. The overall office feeling in the office was much nicer than it used to be. Technically, I appreciated the expertise and attention to detail, thank you. Keep it up!

I am always spoken to professionally and the staff are so friendly. The only thing I would say is the amount of tests and emails for my appointment reminders are too many. I would appreciate an email and or text as a reminder but not 3-4 of them.

As always, great services!!!!!

Dr Middleton remains our optometrist!

Keep up the present standards - nothing to improve!

I have no suggestions at this time. I appreciate the smooth transition I experienced as Dr. Feahr has retired. The two young men at the desk were cheerful and helpful, as has Samantha been even when answering repeatedly dull questions about charges, appointments, and such. Thank you team!
Jul 1, 2015
Wonderful doctor, kind staff, upbeat people!
Jun 27, 2015
Everything was great, however I would recommend you inform patients ahead of time if their eyes will be dilated, so they can make appropriate arrangements if necessary.

Doctor Middleton has the best knowledge and ability to explain conditions of the eye to the ordinary lay person than all the other eye doctors I have ever had. Very impressive.

I was very pleased with the whole experience. Sean was so personable and knowledgeable about contacts, etc. I thought the eye exam was very thorough. All in all I was very pleased and would recommend your office to others.

I had an issue with my prescription and you remade the lenses without question. I very much appreciate your willingness to make things right.

Sean was great with the kids! Dr Middleton was very I formative and really took his time with us. Thank you!

Dr. Middleton has always taken the time to explain things to me and I now have a better grasp of cataract surgery and feel I can deal with it by September. It is still concerning but I trust that he will get LaserVue clued in on what I need, and you will all hold my hand if necessary!

I have been a patient for over 20 years. I feel I get great care and service form Dr Middleton and staff. Thanks for all your help.
Jun 4, 2015
One real opportunity for improvement! I was hit with a $182 SURPRISE at the end of my visit, which I did not appreciate! I like to be able to PLAN my expenditures! An easy fix could be, when you confirm the appointment, to say "Do you have a copay due with this service? We know people do not like surprises." It just brings the word "copay" into the conversation. I think money should be contracted BEFORE the service is provided, not after! And thank you for asking!

As a patient on disability I was surprised to find out that while the assessment is covered, glasses are not. That isn't your fault, but it would have been helpful to be given options to pursue in order to get the glasses I clearly need but, based on the cost I was given, cannot afford. That may be why I haven't had my eyes checked for so long - why bother if I can't afford the solution?

Original art throughout the office space, not 80's repros, but that isn't the sort of feedback you are looking for, I am guessing. It would class the place up a bit. Plenty of affordable SoCo artists about. Could work a trade for services. I am not referring to myself here, by the way. KF

It was the most explained eye exam I have ever had. Brian and Leann were a pleasure to talk to and Dr. Middleton was the best. Thank you............

My entire appointment (including wait time) was exactly 2 hours. Much too long.

New person Rick, very helpful and I appreciated his feedback while trying to choose a new frame

I was impressed..never thought a small strip mall doctor would be that good
Apr 19, 2015
was terrific that you could see me on such short notice. Thanks so much.
Apr 11, 2015
Thanks, Rick, for going beyond the call of duty. I was impressed at how you were eager to learn from Dr. Middleton and your generosity at repairing my sunglasses. I would also like to congratulate Dr. Middleton for explaining thoroughly my situation and offering insight for subsequent procedures. Well done.
Apr 10, 2015
I have seen Dr. Middleton for over 20 years and he has seen 3 generations of my family. Yesterday's awful experience and watching things change over the last few years. I am not sure if my family will continue to see him.
