Tran Optometrist Tara Ahn

Dr. Tara Ahn told me the contacts I’ve worn for years are no longer being made and wrote me a prescription for the expensive name brand that Costco conveniently carries. I looked online at 1 – 800 contacts and found them on there, cheaper, and… *surprise!* still being made.
Then she attempted to charge my insurance double what I ended up paying for the exam even though I told her that I did not have eye coverage. This woman is a fraudster and ought to be reported.

She comes across as very rude and has not reimbursed for an eye appointment. She charged me the regular rate and then proceeded to charge my insurance company an insane amount. It’s all about the money. Customer service is nonexistent which is too bad because Costco is pretty awesome otherwise.

On the first visit she was being pleasant but after getting my eye exam and contact lens fitting, I came back because it cause uncomfort. She started to be impatient and rude and started being aggressive and told me that I cannot keep coming back for the problem with eye contacts. I would not recommend this place unless you are ok with impatience and rudeness from the doctor.

I have never had an optometrist that was SO thorough with my eye exam. It’s not my first time to the optometrist, so even though I knew what all the routine exams were, she let me know before hand what to expect. I was there for an annual checkup and for a new prescription of contacts. After all the routine exams, she asked me to put in a set of contacts that she thought would be my new prescription and do the eye exam all over again to make sure I could see clearly! I had never had any doctor do this before.
She also did a very thorough exam where she used a lens as well as a light to look into my eye as I moved it up, down, to the sides, etc. She clarified for me that although I had astigmatism, I did NOT have it in both eyes, instead I had it only in my left eye. The right eye had early signs of possible glaucoma, but nothing serious that I should be concerned about right away. She recommended that in the future, if things progressed with my right eye, to begin having two exams instead of only one annually.
Dr. Tran then gave me TEN days worth of contact samples! Five were Dailies total 1, which she highly recommended, but warned that they were pretty expensive and Costco did not carry them because of the price. The other five were Dailies aqua focus, which Costco did carry and she also recommended based on my preference for daily contacts that I did not want to clean every day and that I could buy at Costco.
I think she was amazing so I recommended her to a friend who ALSO thought she was amazing. Yes, she works very quickly, but she is not missing a beat. She knows what she is doing and will get you in and out the door in about 20 minutes. She will tell you what to expect and will tell you the results she sees from the exams, but if you want clarification or further explanation, then just ask! I asked her a ton of questions and she is very sweet, very patient, and answered everything very thoroughly. I felt confident and comfortable when I walked out of her office, and the price could not be beat. I highly recommend her and will certainly be returning to her for my next check-​up.

She was a rough visit… Didn’t explain what she was doing, no warnings about things that might be uncomfortable, like the part when they blow air in your eye or check your pupil dilation with a really bright light. Only plus was that she was fast… But it was like she just wanted to get me in and out. Never going back
