Allied Gardens Family Optometry, San Diego CA

First time getting glasses. I spent 500.00 dollars on an exam and 1 pair of glasses. I didnt realize how much they upsold me on exams and one special exray I didnt need.this place is way overpriced. The glasses I purchased are uncomfortable and the arm broke off. I went online and found a pair for 68.00 dollars and I love them. I will never buy frames from this place again

Had another amazing appointment at Allied Gardens Optometry. All the staff I have ever interacted here has been knowledgeable and compassionate. They have a really nice selection of frames and do not pressure you to buy more then you need. If you are interested in an appointment and then ordering online, they will give realistic and helpful advice when dealing with ordering your own prescription glasses without being dismissive or negative.

I never leave here thinking I've gotten less then stellar customer service and care. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Best Optometrist in California. The staff make you feel like family. The glasses are fly and you leave being able to see the world. They will take care of your eyes and your happiness. Family friendly and they are consummate professionals.

Dr. Cullins and the front desk staff were very professional, thorough and courteous. I highly recommend Allied Gardens for annual eye exams and prescription renewals. I would go back again for future optometry needs!

I had a wonderful experience here. I was accidentally 15 minutes late for my appointment and they still took me in. The staff and Dr.were super friendly and professional. I received a new prescription which is on point and can see so clearly now. Due to a thorough consultation with the doctor I was prescribed a new type of contact lens and I couldn’t be happier. I have been wearing contacts for over a decade and have never been able to see at night, but with my new lenses I can! I highly recommend Allied Gardens optometry!

This staff is a well oiled machine. They were all efficient and timely. They took out the time to explain the little details about certain frames that made all the difference. Just moved here and im lucky i am next to this office

I took my 6 year old son here for his fist eye exam. I thought the doctor was very rude and had no patience with him although I was helping out with positioning to help out the doctor examine his eyes.

Doctor put some eye drops on him to further examine his eyes and confirm no vision issues. I had to come back 30 minutes later once his eyes were dilated, and doctor confirmed his eyes were fine.

However the next day his eyes were still dilated, over 24 hours after the visit. I called to inquire when they’d go back to normal, but I was told they’d have to call me back because they were busy that moment. It was a Friday, and I called back at 4: 00PM since I hadn’t received a call back. They told me “we haven’t forgotten about you, but we’ll have to call you back because we’re still busy”. They never called me back.

My son’s eyes were back to normal late Saturday, but my experience with the doctor and staff was definitely underwhelming. I will not be taking my son back to this place nor would I recommend it to anyone, to the contrary.very unprofessional office to say the least.

I LOVE Allied Gardens Family Optometry! My kids and I have been coming to the office for awhile now, probably four years and have always been happy with them. They are so friendly and helpful with my kids! The doctor AND staff are great. Family oriented and go out of their way for customer service. Frame selection is great too!

Love this place. Dr. Cullins was friendly and helpful, as were the staff. I didn't even expect to find a pair of frames because I'm so picky but their selection of frames is awesome. I love the ones I chose and can't wait to pick them up.
