Bloomingcamp Optometry

Great Staff, very accomodting

I had a great experience getting a new pair of glasses from here! Dr. Bloomingcamp was extremely thorough, patient, and listened to all of my concerns and preferences in selecting a new pair of frames. We must have gone through about half the inventory in her store before finding the perfect pair! Throughout the process, I never felt rushed or that I should settle for anything other than the best frame I could find. I had lots of questions about different frame and lens options, and Dr. Bloomingcamp answered everything in a knowledgeable and informative way. When I went to pick up my glasses, she spent ~20 minutes manually adjusting my frames to make sure I had the perfect fit. Highly recommended if you are looking for new glasses in Livermore!

The best in Livermore! Both my daughter and I needed glasses and the experience was awesome. Dr. B took the time to help pick out the best one that would compliment our face. She really takes her time and goes over ALL our options.

The best.
Super thorough, treats you like a human being, explains what they are doing and why, and answers questions with ease and care.
I’ve had corrective lenses since first grade, contacts since I was a teen, and am now of the age where progressives are a necessity. I’ve been to many eye professionals. They really are the best.
I read through the negative reviews and I’ve never had an experience like that, here, and neither has anyone I’ve personally referred. Whatever those problems resulted from, they’ve apparently been resolved.

Dr. Bloomingcamp was very thorough but I won’t be going back here because their support staff completely sucks. The surly woman who handles their billing completely screwed things up with my insurance company. She was completely unhelpful when I initially purchased my glasses so it’s not surprising that this practice has been going back and forth with my insurance company for months now without getting things resolved. In the meantime, they are sending me random bills for things that my insurance company will cover in full. It’s definitely not worth the hassle for me to go here again – lot’s of other optometrists are out there with competent staff.

I have been wearing contacts and glasses since I was a teenager. In all my years getting examined by a variety of eye doctors, I have never encountered a doctor more diligent, caring and thorough as Dr. Bloomingcamp. From my initial visit, she did a very complete eye examination, never settling for inconsistent results. I wanted contacts, but wasn’t sure which type. She told me that hard contact lenses were uncomfortable at first, but with time would get more comfortable. She was right. Whenever I had an issue, I was able to make a quick appointment and her staff is very accommodating. Other doctors have always pushed soft contact lenses on me, even though I couldn’t see very well with them. Dr. Bloomingcamp explained what my options were and reasons why certain contact lenses didn’t work for my type of prescription. She always made sure to check and re-​check, so the fit and numbers came out perfect. I referred my husband to her and we will continue visiting her even when our family grows.
I also purchased glasses from her. Her staff was very helpful in picking out a stylish design for my skin color and face shape. And, with insurance, her prices are very comparable to other strip mall type glasses retailers.

Dr. Bloomingcamp is really, really great, so much so that I feel guilty for writing a negative review given how much I like her. She’s patient, thorough, friendly, well qualified, and even put up with my toddler when I had to bring him to an appointment last year.
My negative review is due to two experiences.
First, a couple years ago, I ordered and received glasses that made me feel dizzy and like I was floating. Dr. Bloomingcamp checked the prescription and it seemed to be correct, but for whatever reason they weren’t sitting right. I was told to keep wearing them, that my eyes would adjust. They never did adjust and I ended up at the ER with the a horrible migraine, which I suspect was caused by the glasses. Dr. Bloomingcamp tried her darndest to get the glasses to work — she sent the lenses back several times for adjustment — but they were never able to get them right. It sounds like the frame was not appropriate for the type of lenses I use, but if that’s the case, they should have known that from the beginning, or at least corrected their error, right? I ended up having to buy a new set of glasses, which I had to pay for separately, and I was never refunded for the original pair.
My second complaint is regarding their pricing. I’ve been wearing contacts for eight years. I’ve been going to Bloomingcamp for several years. My last exam was 1/​2013, so with it being 4/​2014, it’s been one year and a three months. I no longer have insurance. To get more contacts, I was told that I’d have to pay $ 150 for an exam and $ 75-​$ 150 for a contact fitting. Really? I guess I understand the exam, but I’ve never had a problem with these contacts, and I’ve seen Dr. Bloomingcamp several times. Does she really need to make sure they fit again? Can’t I just let her know if they’re not working out as expected? They were unwilling to budge on this, even after I explained that I don’t have insurance and that $ 150 + $ 75-​$ 150 + $ 50/​case of contacts was going to be really difficult.
I called Murietta Optometry, who has a comparable reputation in Livermore, and not only was I able to get an appointment much sooner (tomorrow vs. next week), but they will only charge $ 90 for the exam and $ 50 for the contact evaluation. That’s $ 100-​$ 175 less than Bloomingcamp. They said that as long as I stick with the same brand of contacts, and assuming I don’t have any problems, that’s all the medical portion cost. If I have any trouble with the contacts, then yes, I’ll pay for another appointment. But that’s only if I need extra medical care — that seems to make a lot more sense than proactively charging me $ 75-​$ 150 for a fitting that I most likely don’t need.

30 years old, haven’t had my eyes checked since I was a little kid. Now a corporate employee who spends way too much time driving and sitting in front of a computer screen, I’ve had trouble lately with dry, tired eyes. The Dr. here recommended some great eye drops for me and worked with my insurance to get me my first pair of glasses for well under $ 100. My eyes are feeling much better now! Thanks to all the staff here!

I am thankful I searched the internet for a local eye doctor and found Dr. Bloomingcamp.
She was very personable, friendly, helped me feel comfortable and relaxed (eye exams are not top on my list of fun things to do, I get very nervous) and it was a relief to know she performed all the testing and she even came to check on me when I was deciding on frames.
I am not covered by insurance and it was a relief to know the cost was not over the top considering the personal attention I received.

This year marks my second year seeing Dr. Boe at this office. I can not say enough good things about the office. Dr. Boe is so friendly and really knows what she is doing. I am extremely near sighted and she consistently is able to get my contact lens prescription perfectly. She also discovered that I am a little bit near sighted and has been able to prescribe computer/​reading glasses to help eliminate eye fatigue and headaches after a long day at work.
The ladies working the front desk are also fabulous. They are great about scheduling appointments that work for my schedule and are very prompt and knowledgeable when it comes to discussing my eye insurance. If you’re looking for a new eye doctor, don’t walk – run to Bloomingcamp Optometry and ask for an appointment with Dr. Boe – she rocks!
P. S. It doesn’t hurt that the office is in an old home that is in perfect condition right across from a large park!!!

The team is great! Everyone is super helpful and nice. Thanks.

I had gone to see dr bloomingcamp for a scratched cornea, not only did she conduct thoroughly with what was going on but she explained everything to me so i could understand. She is as sweet as can be and has the best selection of glasses! I get so many compliments on them. The office is clean and very inviting. I HIGHLY recommend!

I just got my glasses and contact lenses through Bloomingcamp Optometry, and I am extremely satisfied with my experience. Dr. Bloomingcamp is really nice and helpful, taking the time to explain the results of your exam and answering every question you may have. Her staff is also cordial and makes you feel really at ease. The office is located in a very pretty part of town and if it weren’t for the sign giveaway, you would think it were just another pretty house on the block. Inside, the office is comfortable and clean.

Nothing but greatness! I went in with an emergency. Someone had stepped on my glasses and my frame split in so many pieces. It was a Friday afternoon and I was in full panic. I didn’t have the cash flow to just go to Lenscrafters and spend $ 500 for them to get me new glasses. I have heard bad experiences. The eye doctor I usually go and see was closed for training. Livermore Optometry. Glad they were because I would have never found Bloomingcamp! When I called the doctor actually spoke to me on the phone and made me feel alot at ease. After an hour in the office she set me up with contacts in the meantime until my appointment on Monday. She actually took the time to sit there with me and show me how to put them in. I have never seen this anywhere else. The office is such a small personable staff that it makes you feel right at home. I can’t say enough of how greatful I feel about this place, im just very lucky to have found them. Im going to recommend them to everyone!

I had my first visit with Dr. Bloomingcamp yesterday and was very pleased with the service! She was very thorough and explained to me why she was doing what she was. She also made me feel very comfortable. Once the check up was complete, I was surprised to find that both the Docter and Jacki were very helpful in helping me pick my frames. They had a wide selection and were very helpful in narrowing it down to just one. I chose to go here because of the reviews I read here on Unilocal and I’m so glad I did. I highly recommend this office!

What can I say that hasn’t been already said about this wonderful optometry office? Nothing, the office is homey and comfortable, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
Dr. Bloomingcamp is a star. She is friendly, caring and thorough. I am blind as a bat and we worked on getting the best type of material for my coke bottle sized prescription possible. She even sent back a pair because after trying them out they weren’t right. Yeah, she wasn’t dismissive and say «oh, you’ll get used to them», she checked up on me and when I wasn’t crazy about the correction I received she rechecked the prescription and the grinding of the lenses and found an error the grinder had made. She worked me with me to get the best lenses possible.
She also knows her contact lenses, she helped my daughter, who has a scar on her cornea to find the best type of contact lenses for her eyes.
So, if you want a quality, ultra-​competent and friendly optometrist do yourself a favour and make an appointment with Dr. Bloomingcamp.

Bloomingcamp Optomentry is the best Optometry office ever. It is homey and friendly, not at all like going to a stark doctor’s office. Dr. Bloomingcamp has seen myself and my son. She took the time to answer all our questions, showed us the pictures of our eyes and explained everything. She also spent the time to help us select great frames and get them fitted properly. You never feel like a number or just another patient at this office.

This is the best Optometry office I’ve ever been to. The service is so personal, everyone in the office, including Dr. Bloomincamp, is very friendly and helpful. They treat you like family.
One of the things I really like about Dr. Bloomincamp is that she is very thorough and as she’s going through your exam, she explains what she’s doing and why.
They have a great selection of frames and their prices are very competitive.
I whole heatedly recommend Bloomincamp Optometry!

What a relief to find a great optometrist! Coni Bloomingcamp was such a pleasure to see. She administered the eye exams herself in her comfortable office and provided very personal and friendly service. I’m glad to say that I’ve found my permanent optometrist! She even helped me look through frames. I trust her expertise and appreciate her manner. Thank you Unilocalers for pointing me in the right direction!

It has been a year since I have been to Bloomingcamp but Im still so excited so I decided to write a review.
First, I found the optometrist through Unilocal! The receptionist is wonderful, the doctor is wonderful, and the selection & prices are wonderful. i have never been to an eye doctor, or any doctor for that matter that was so personable! They are very thorough & did tests I had never even heard of or seen. i have to admit I was impressed & I really felt taken care of!
As a side note I have run into the doctor in town and she is just as nice!
