Dr. Lu is the best optometrist I had the pleasure of interacting with (except my late husband who had had an optometry practice in Texas/US. She took care of all needs of my father who has eye issues (i.e. Macular hole, cataract, etc.) in his senior years. Dr. Lu is very knowledgeable, helpful and answers any questions the patient might have. She followed up on questions we had post visit. I highly recommend doctor Lu services to anyone that is looking for a highly caring, patient and knowledgeable optometrist.

Doris Lu is a very knowledgeable optometrist who really knows her stuff. My family and I have always felt very comfortable at each visit and trust her recommendations. I agree they do like to chat, but I find this to be enjoyable rather than a staff that is rushing you in and out and doesn’t appreciate your business. Thank you Doris and team for always taking your time and providing great service!

I think some of these reviews are clearly fake - Dr Lu and her staff use high pressure sales tactics from the second you get in the door. The pricing is also WAY higher than other optometrists and is well above even generous insurance plans. Stay clear.

I've been going to Dr Lu for years and have occasionally switched to other optometrists for convenience of location but I always end up returning. I have 'problem' eyes and I feel more secure knowing Dr Lu is on top of my particular problems and has diagnostic equipment that others don't. It does cost more, as do the lenses for the glasses, but they are higher quality lenses and I prefer the vision I get (I have progressives) with them. I've had cheaper lenses from other opticians and the range of vision isn't as good. I do have difficult eyes so the extra cost is worth it to me. Yes, they chatter and fuss like mother hens, but I appreciate the time Dr Lu and staff spend on me to make sure my glasses are right.

Horrible experience. I am actually quite surprised at the really positive reviews on here. I am quite certain these reviews are fake and done by the store. I went into this practice purely because of the reviews but i was extremely bombarded with sales tactics during my exam visit to the point of making me feel extremely uncomfortable. Something quite strange there. It is also disgustingly overpriced. I paid for than twice regular fees for eye exam.

Having my eyes checked and choosing a new pair of sunglasses was a wonderful experience with Doris Lu and her team. She is thoughtful and thorough in checking my eyes and was able to really give me a better understanding on the health of my eyes. Her staff was so patient with me as I decided on a pair of sunglasses and not ever did I feel pressured to buy. I have been a patient of dr Lu's for years now and will continue to be.

I have been going to Dr Lu of and on for 30 years for my eye exams and glasses. I have always found her pleasant and willing to help. However, on my latest visit she misdiagnosed my eye problem as cataracts even though I was blind in one eye. I had to wait four months to see a specialist on cataracts. In fact I had suffered a retinal displacement and was told it was too late to repair the damage. I now must undergo an operation to save the eye. I am now permanently blind in one eye. So beware.

I would highly recommend Dr. Lu
I have been concerned about my vision for over a year now, and have spoken to both my family doctor and another optometrist. Neither had any concerns regarding my eyes. As my vision worsened steadily and headaches became a daily routine, I visited Dr Lu. Her equipment is state of the art, and she took the time before my visit to research possible conditions which could cause my symptoms. That alone is very rare. Most importantly, Dr. Lu was able to diagnose the problem with my eyes. It turns out it was a very serious problem which would have led to blindness had I not visited her for a second opinion. Not all professionals are equal in any field, And Dr. Lu is extremely thorough. I was not even aware some of the tests she did even existed after seeing other optometrists. Her staff is also very friendly, which is an added bonus. There is a review I am reading below mine, where the person is complaining about the price of her services. Seriously? The best, most up to date medical equipment is expensive. Taking the time to research before a patients appointment is time consuming and exceedingly rare. This is my eyesight. Without it, I can not work and make a living. Had I not been lucky enough to encounter Dr. Lu my condition would have progressed to an irreparable state within a year. Now, thanks to her, I can have day surgery and keep my vision and my career. I don't know about you, but to me, that is priceless.
Thank you Dr. Lu. For everything.

Don't waste your money here. It is way overpriced and Dr. Lu is constantly trying to push a sale and get you to buy items you don't need (sunglasses, more contacts, etc). Her staff is no different. I made the horrible mistake of buying from her on two occasions despite the fact that I was overpaying. I was lazy about going anywhere else - shame on me. But both times I purchased glasses, there was something wrong with them. Either the lens had lines all over them, the strength of the prescription was wrong, or the frames were bent out of shape.
Dr. Lu spends her energy talking you to death. You feel constantly pressured and bombarded with buy-buy-buy, spend spend spend tactics. It's a horrible experience. Her staff does the same thing. It's quite an odd environment. Sometimes I wonder if she even knows what she is talking about.
Anyway, never again. Ties severed. Save yourself the hassle and the money and go somewhere else.
