Advanced Eyecare

Beautiful office, super friendly staff (every single one of ‘em), good selection of frames. This place is THOROUGH. Give yourself an hour and a half for an appointment if you’re a new patient. They did tests I didn’t know existed, for problems I didn’t know existed.
As a first time customer, I was introduced to a staff member that did several tests in several different rooms, in preparation for the exam with Dr. Schachter. Everything was well explained, and they did a good job of asking probing questions. I feel as though my eyes have never gotten so much eye-​doctorly attention, ever.
The exam with Dr. Schachter was actually pretty quick since most of the tests had been done just prior, but he went over the test results in detail and answered all the questions I had. Also very friendly.
Some of the images were pretty cool to look at. They really do have the latest and greatest state of the art digital stuff. Overall, probably the best and most inclusive «eye exam» I’ve ever had!

The selection of frames is fabulous and office is beautiful. The staff is excellent and the doctor is fantastic. I’m really happy I started coming to this office and would not go anywhere else.

There office staff is very nice and welcoming. They have a great selection of frames to choose from. I have been going there for about four years now and have never had any issues. It’s very easy to make appointments and love the appointment reminding texting option. The doctor is very personable and professional. The staff that does the pre-​screening testing are also great. I would definitely recommend!

You will not find a better eye care professional! Dr. Schachter has the most up to date equipment and tests available. His staff is friendly and professional and they have a great selection of eyewear. I have been wearing glasses or contacts for 42 years and I have never received better care!!!

I feel that I get a state-​of-​the-​art exam at Dr. Schachter’s who uses the most modern equipment available. I have been extremely happy with his staff, services and over all concern for the health and longevity of my eyesight. I have a potentially debilitating disease of the eyes which can cause blindness (and has caused my father to go blind) that I feel he addresses to the best that medicine can at this time.

Would not recommend. Bad things could happen

Dr. Schachter is the best eye doctor I have ever had. His eye exams are incredibly through, the equipment is new and state of the art, and his staff is friendly and professional. I always felt like my eyes were in good hands.
This is not your average eye place where they give you a quick eye exam and you are on your way — they examine you not just for contacts or glasses but actually to check the health of your eyes.
They use the latest technology like retinal photography (a better option then dilation — in my opinion) and they also do this wavefront refraction that can see if your eye has any aberrations. Bottom line — You always get a comprehensive eye exam.
I always went to Dr. Schachter when I lived in Pismo Beach. I am now in the San Diego area and still have not found an eye doctor of his caliber. I will actually be trying a new place in San Marcos next week and I hope it will be similar to my experience with Dr. Schachter.
If you are in the Pismo Beach area and need an excellent eye doctor, I highly recommend him.
