Everyone I spoke to or came into contact with were phenomenal. I dont think Ive ever had such an amazing experience with anything. It was my first time getting my vision checked. The Doctor explained everything in great detail. Picking out eye glasses was easy, fun and informative. The process of going through everything was fast and easy. The office itself looks very clean and organized. Happy to make this my permanent place to go.
Surely, you get your eyes checked out and you get a decent prescription as you should. However, the dr is rude, assuming, doesn’t listen, & needs a lesson in bed side manner and decorum. We visited 3 years in a row, hoping it was just a bad day, & nope not again.
Dr Riggs and staff are amazing 👏 it is like visiting good friends 👍 😀
I just love the people who work there. We have been with Dr Riggs since 2013! Great place to go to. Their selection of glasses is overwhelming! Thank You for being our eye Doctor!
This was the easiest process Ive ever had to deal with. To be honest, I am not a huge fan of visiting doctors in general, my anxiety shoots through the roof. This was painless, quick, and easy. Dr. Riggs is a cool guy, he makes you feel comfortable, and doesnt pass judgment no matter how long its been since your last eye exam... The office staff was just as helpful and very cooperative. If you have to go anywhere and ever feel the same about doctors, this is the place to go. Call, make an appointment, and get some glasses. If youve worn glasses before, bring them with you. The office was freshly lightly remodeled. A very clean and organized office. Highly recommend.
Great staff, fast always smiling and friendly and Dr Riggs is always wonderful and provides the best examinations and is very thorough. I have been coming here for almost 8 years now. They always fit me into the schedule and have a great selection of frames
Small cozy office. It took a couple weeks to get in for our initial visit, but totally worth the wait. The doctor is awesome, so easy to talk to. You can tell he loves his job. He keeps his guitar on his private office and plays quietly between patients, so cool. The staff there is amazing too. Sarah especially. She is super patient and sweet. My youngest was getting contacts for the first time. She was great with her, very encouraging, and patient. This is our new home eye doctor.
I was visiting from Jacksonville, Florida and forgot to bring my contacts. I was desperate. The team at Dr. Riggs office were amazing and went out of their way to help me get the replacement contacts I needed. My visit would not have been the same without their help!! Thank you so much!
I Have the worse to an almost blind prescription, I really can’t put on price on being able to see. (yeah not a simple Laski fix here, more like a 4 surgery process that would not get me even to 20/20). So getting glasses or contacts are a necessity for me. I even have a different insurance that can’t be used here but i covered elsewhere. Honestly it doesn’t matter to me. Why?, because they do an Awsome job with their eye exam. I been going to an ophthalmologist since third grade, which is now decades. The ophthalmologist here adjusted my Eye prescription to perfection and explained it in a way I could understand. I800contacts might be cheaper IDK but more I don’t care b/c I’d rather support an excellent local business than cookie cutter chains where one is just a number. I highly recommend coming here for your prescription or adjustments to you current prescription.
Best experience with an optometrist in years. The staff is beyond courteous and professional. The office is clean and everyone is masked. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a very thorough and friendly optometrist.
Great staff! Very helpful!
The staff were very nice and helpful! They had a beautiful selection of designer frames (which I chose) but it would have been nice to see some frames in a lower price range, as well.
This is a good place to go. The Dr. and staff are very helpfulI would give it five and a half stars for service, but I think the glasses frames prices are a little more costly than they could be....
Good service and good people that work there very friendly and the facility is super clean
Amazing staff, very friendly, and very punctual
Love everyone here...Everyone is so nice and friendly.
Great staff and always great customer service.
Dr. and staff very helpful and friendly.
Lynn was great in getting my contacts mailed to me. She was pleasant and helpful over the phone. I was nervous about having to get my contacts, but they made it easy and I didn’t have to leave my home. A+ office.
I love GVCO! I always feel welcomed, taken care of, and that all my excessive questions are answered. As someone who is very myopic and has astigmatisms, it is helpful to have a very skilled and trained doctor give me the BEST prescription possible without over correcting. THANK YOU!
Wonderful staff and great customer service.
Always polite and fun! Very professional, Ive been going since I moved to SD county.
I had the best experience with this vision center. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming from the scheduling person, Jenny to my eye doctor, Dr. Riggs. Keep it up guys!! Thank you 👍.
Wonderfully personable and extremely professional. Never felt rushed or pressured to make a quick decision on eye-wear. 10/10 would go back.
I have been going to this office for off and on for 10 years. I keep coming back! I love this office and staff! I recently worked with Toya and she is phenomenal! What a great asset to an already amazing practice. Out of this world customer service, walks you through everything and explains what/why things are happening. More companies need employees like Toya.
Too far out for an exam and lens crafters doctors in vegas wouldnt answer the phone and employees at grossmont didnt really seem to care
The best customer service and eye care Ive received in a long time! Elizabeth is really polite, attentive, and supportive. Dr. Riggs really cares about his patients health and is really good at explaining diagnosis. Thank you!
I have been going to Grossmont Vision Center Optometry for many years. To me, my eyesight is about important as my heart. I have complete trust in Dr. Kevin M. Riggs and his staff. The staff are well trained and efficient as they quickly move you through various eye tests. These preliminary tests help Dr. Riggs when he personally conducts his examination of your eyes. If you are considering having your eyes checked, you should not hesitate to consider Grossmont Vision Center Optometry. Im glad I did!
Great customer service, quick and friendly!! My first time here, and I was impressed with how quick I was sitting in the chair getting my eye exam!The 3 young ladies in the front all have great personalities making this an awesome place for your optometry needs!
Stayed late to help out with a frame repair that others in the area declined to work on without a waiver which caused doubt in me. Took it here, in and out in 15 minutes or less with confidence in her work!Thank you!
This was my first visit and Dr Riggs. The staff were awesome. I was in quickly he was thorough with the exam and I left very happy. I have to say I actually had a fun experience. I will definitely recommend them to anyone. If I could give 10 stars I would. Great experience, Great Staff Dr Riggs is awesome!!!
Ive been going to Dr. Riggs for many years, and I always get a thorough examination, along with friendly service from everyone. Any problems I have are taken care of right away, and Im happy with the service I receive.
After a rocky start making an appointment (using their Make an Appointment option on the web page… definitely would have been more efficient to just pick up the phone and call!). Highly recommend this facility for your optometry needs. Everyone (Elizabeth, Lynn) was very friendly, helpful and took time to explain procedures. As a new patient, no matter how many times you go through a routine eye exam - this was unexpected but very well-received! Dr. Kevin Riggs is clearly very knowledgeable and took a lot of time also to review my history and explain the results of my exam. He also - in layperson terms - clearly answered all my questions and concerns. It took me 7 years after my favorite Optometrist of several years retired to find another resource for my vision needs. Im very pleased with this choice!
Ive been going to Grossmont Vision Center for close to 5 years now and have had great experiences each time Ive visited. Theyve always been on time, the front counter staff are very friendly and informative and Dr Riggs is great.Ive purchased several pairs of glasses from them as well. They have a great selection and are very helpful in picking out new frames. I dont think you could ask for anything more from them.
I would just like to take the time to say that Dr. Kevin Riggs, Lynn and Dana at Grossmont Vision Center are the bomb!!!! I highly recommend anyone let them take care of any of their vision needs. They are all very friendly and courteous. The facility is clean and tidy. They go over all your options from style of frames, contacts, pricing and anything else that you may have questions or concerns about. Its just not worth it to go anywhere else!! Thank you!!!!
This is my 2nd year getting glasses from Grossmont Vision. What an incredible company. The latest, and most technologically advanced equipment not only guarantees an accurate and comfortable prescription, but also addresses overall eye health. The staff is extremely well trained in product knowledge, insurance, and appointment efficiency. And finally they have a very good selection of frames to choose from. From my initial reminder of a needed annual appointment, a text message of appointment time, to an amazing 48 hour delivery of my Maui Jim sunglasses, it was just a very pleasant cycle. You dont cut corners when it comes to your eyesight, so Im a permanent customer.
Very welcoming and comfortable. The staff was super friendly and helpful.
Dr. Riggs is top-notch. I so appreciate this office and all who work in it. They are always helpful, friendly and make you feel comfortable. Great selection of regular glasses and sunglasses. I highly recommend Grossmont Vision Center!
My family and I have been going here for years. The doctor and staff are always friendly and helpful. High recommend.
I was in and out with new contacts. The optometrist was extremely friendly and explained some of the science behind contacts and what was wrong with my previous prescription.
Doc was awesome. Always a pleasant time here. They schedule accordingly so youll never wait, too.
Dr Riggs always takes the time to talk about any concerns I have and reviews my records carefully. His recommendations are always helpful and correct! Staff is very helpful.
Been going here for years. Everyone here is wonderful and they take great care of me and my eyes!
Cant say enough about the excellent service at Grossmont Vision Center!Thank you Dr Riggs, Lynn, Elizabeth and Toya!
DO NOT come to this office!! Dr. Riggs is well starts with an A ends with an E. I had been coming for years and lately it has fallen off. The knewest hire, Elizabeth is useless. Lacks knowledge and competence and shes a manager??? Liana is great but needs to go elsewhere. Dr is rude, and makes people feel little. Never used to be this way. I miss the old staff like Sally and Dana who would take the time for people to know what they were getting. Wont spend money here and longer. Wasted my time.
Ive been going here for several years and everyone is so pleasant to work with. They offer high-quality lenses and also have a wide range of frames and will help you find something that looks great and fits your budget.
This is Tony W, Sophies Dad. I felt compelled to write this review because Grossmont Optical is just a great place to shop. Awesome service, great staff, great products at reasonable prices! what more can you ask for?Use your FSA here!!!!
Staff was friendly and helpful. Doctor was right on time, explained everything clearly to me and was kind. Would recommend.
This is the worst experience at a medical office that Ive ever had! First, they told me to come in at 2:30 and never actually scheduled me. Then Elizabeth, an assistant, asked me why Im on Medicare because Medicare is for old people. She then asked me what my disability is. I should not have to explain in detail how my disability causes me to suffer every day of my life, or list my symptoms, in order to see an opthometrist. I ran out of the office in tears, I was humiliated. I will never walk through their door again. If you want to be respected as a patient and as a person, never schedule an appointment here!
The Optometrist was extremely professional and even fixed my Rx bc a Doctor from another vision center had over corrected my astigmatism and caused me to see blurrier and caused pretty significant eye strain. However, when it came to the pretester, retail aspect of it, I was treated pretty poorly. The woman was extremely rude. I don’t even know her name but boy was she something else. First off I forgot my glasses in the car and she told me to go back to my car to get them. I parked far and she had immediate attitude and said, “Wow, how far did you PARK?” As if she was annoyed with me. Then in the end I chose to get my prescription to go online and order from Warby Parker and she was ticked that I didn’t get my glasses from the Vision Center. I would have paid about $100 more even with our insurance. So how can she blame me if I wanted to order online? Very put off. Now I’m even scared to come in to ask to get my glasses adjusted or I’ll be hit with more attitude, even though I’m still very much a customer and paid good money to see the doctor. I’ll be calling to complain as well. DO BETTER.
I have been going to Dr Riggs for my eye exams for a few years now. I travel 120 miles to see him, thats how good I feel he is. His staff, especially Sally, are so professional and really know their job. I havent been to see him for a few years now due to family health issues but I see from some of the recent reviews that there have been some changes, and not for the better. I reserve judgement until I see him myself which will be next week, Feb. 2013.
Always extremely friendly and professional. My kids and I have been going for years and will continue to do so.
Ive been going here for years! Love the staff they are always friendly and very helpful. Dr Riggs is a great optometrist, thorough and knowledgeable in newer technologies.
Monday April 20, 2015 - I fell and mangled my glasses. As asked by my primary Doc. I waited until I was sure that I was not concussed, I called GVCO. Lin was very helpful calling the company that made my frames, offered to stay late if needed because she wanted to see the damage on my glasses. We had to order new frames and lenses. My frames are one back order so she offered to give me loner frames once my lenses come in. Dr. Griggs you have an amazing staff. Angela San Diego.
Everyone was extremely friendly, pleasant & helpful. I’m glad I chose this facility for my optometry needs!
Very professional and friendly
The establishment was nice and clean but the 3 ladies who work there are dishonest and rude. The doctor was alright but i won’t be giving them my business and I won’t be using the prescription I received from them either.
Lynn is amazing...I love working with her!
Always a pleasant experience with Dr. Riggs. Ive lived all over San Diego, but still come to Grossmont Vision Center because of the service.
Excellent experience as always.
These people are rude and unprofessional. They way over charge for an eye exam. I had an eye exam that wasnt able to finish they told me if I paid I could come back and finish the exam no charge. I go back to finish the exam and they tried charging me and my insurance again! $110 for a 5 minute exam is BULL!!
Very professional, excellent attention.
Great and kind
Great selection of frames for glasses / sunglasses. Staff was helpful and efficient, they know what they are doing! Janina outlined my insurance benefits, helped me chose a stylish frame, gave me clear expectations on next steps. Highly recommend.
