Point Loma Optometry

Awesome experience with Dr. Elizabeth and her staff. Abraham made it easy to schedule my appointment and order my glasses. Great frame options and great explanation of the lenses. Dr. Elizabeth made me feel comfortable with no rush and answered my questions about glasses and contacts.

I’ve been seeing Dr. K for 8 years. She is the best! Her staff is great, and she takes the time to explain everything very thoroughly. Love this place!

I’ve purchased three pair of glasses from this office in the last 3 years, and I had one visit with the optometrist. Dr. Kolodzey was great — very thorough, and she took the time to help sort out which lens prescription features would be best for me, and she also took the time to write a letter to my ophthalmologist regarding some things that she noted on her exam. She is wonderful. But I really want to especially recognize and give 5 stars to Abraham — with each pair of glasses that he fit for me, he provided the very best advice and service. He was great for my needs, but then today we had a new situation. My 87-​year-​old mother is visiting from out of town — it is just 3 days before Christmas, and she broke the frame of her glasses, which she must have in order to see much at all. I called Abraham, and even though it was close to his time to leave the office, he offered to wait for us to come over to see if he could fix them. The fix was tricky (required a whole new temple piece to be installed and modified), but Abraham did it all while we waited. He saved the day, and Abraham is simply awesome! Thanks for such wonderful personal service!

I seriously love this place! I always have so many questions and Dr. Kolodzey has no problem taking the time to answer all of them. She is always up for working with me since I prefer a lower prescription.
Ive found they always has my best interest in mind. Her and all of the team are very honest which I really like since I’ve definitely had a bad experience some dishonest optometrists.
Also, what really stands out about this place is they are always up to date with whatever is new when it comes to glasses and contacts.

I went here because my wife goes here and I was glad that I did. The customer service and care were excellent. The doctor took her time to explain things to me and was very helpful. I will be going here from now on. Highly recommend this place.

I was blown away by the excellent service from everyone in this office! Abraham and Shell were thorough and friendly, without being pushy or creepy. Shell was great on the phone and very patient with my scheduling despite my crazy emergency hospital hours. Dr. Kolodzey explained the exam and findings and discussed my contact lens history in depth, which I really appreciated. I have been wearing contacts for 14 years and have never looked forward to my next visit, but I will be next year! I was honestly shocked by how great of an experience this was… just to get new glasses!

I need a last minute appointment, they squeezed me in to make sure I could get seen. The staff was so friendly and helpful. I always have a hard time picking glasses and here it was a breeze. I’ve been getting eye exams for 15 years and this was the most relaxing, professional and easy exam.

Absolute professionals! A great friendly staff has welcomed me multiple times I’ve come in to have my son’s glasses repaired. Yesterday, the lens fell out of my son’s glasses… so I walked from my office over to Pt Loma Optometry and they fixed them on the spot. I offered to pay, but they wouldnt accept any money since these things happen with kids and glasses! Abraham was professional and helpful as usual.

Beautiful office, friendly staff, great inventory of frames. Dr. Kolodzey was very helpful and took the time to answer all of my questions.

I had a wonderful experience (from scheduling all the way to glasses fitting). Shell was absolutely wonderful and helped me get an appointment right away and was so helpful in sorting out my insurance (blue/​cross blue shield) which has been difficult with other optometry facilities. Shell was actually the only receptionist that offered to call the insurance company to make sure that I was covered. Dr. Kolodzey was wonderful during the exam and explained things in a way that I could undertand and remember. Shell and Abraham helped me pick out frames and it was actually a blast, I left in such in a good mood and confiendent in my new glasses

I just called to schedule an appointment here and the receptionist was so rude over the phone I chose to schedule elsewhere. My blue cross covers everything not just medical.

The staff at Point Loma Optometry; Dr. Kolodzey, Shell and Abraham are simply the best. They are customer focused, courteous and super-​professional. My wife and I have been customers here since they first moved to Point Loma and we will continue to come to Point Loma Optometry for all of our vision care needs. If you are in need of an optometrist, give Point Loma Optometry a try; I am sure that you will not be disappointed.

Transfering here from the mid-​atlantic area I was apprehensive about getting a new Dr. to check my eyes and evaluate my prescription. I was able to find Point Loma Optometry thru my insurance plan. All I can say is WOW! Dr. Kolodzey is a wonderful and caring Dr. who is professional and takes the time to listen to your concerns. No rush, no fuss, just quality care in a comfortable setting. Back east — I thought I had a decent Dr. but now realize I didn’t. The front staff was very helpful, attentive and professional. When the rest of my family gets here we will all be using this office for our vision needs.

You never know how good something comes along that makes everything else look like garbage. This place is so good it made me realized my previous optometrists suck. Why?
They hooked it up, and when my glasses were broken (has happened 3 times now) they fixed them for free. They even bent a couple pairs of my sunglasses back into shape at no cost. I would never go anywhere else.
Note: I had insurance, so not really sure how the pricing looks if you have to pay out of pocket;.

The staff was super helpful and patient with me! I was there for a good half hour selecting lenses. Really nice group of people! Recommend you come here if you are in need of eye exam, glasses or contacts. The doctor was gentle and explained my astigmatism clearly. Clean facility!

I found this office using Unilocal and am very happy with my experience. Dr. Kolodzey saw me as a walk in with no appointment which I truly appreciated. I really loved her bedside manner and her friendly yet direct approach. The exam was thorough, comfortable and timely. Abraham and Michelle in the front office were friendly, knowledgable and helped me pick out a frame based on my price range and desired style. There was a wide selection of frames to pick from, many name brands as well. I really loved the Silhouette brand but out of my price range for now. If you choose to visit Point Loma Optometry I’m sure you’ll be just as satisfied.

I can I start with this review. I met Dr. Kolodzey and Shell way before the moved to Point Loma Optometry. They started in Costco and moved to Point Loma Optometry. One day I took my daughter for an eye exam and found out they were no longer in the Costco, but at Point Loma Optometry.
The new Costco doctor was nice, but the exam and the glasses I had purchased there was not the same as when Dr. Kolodzey was there. All the attention that was given to me and the care the Dr. Kolodzey and Shell was gone. I felt at the time that the service and frames option were not of good quality. The staff at Costco was just rushing me and didn’t take the time to serve me right. After this experience my family and I noticed the difference from a good service the new Costco gave to a GREAT service that Dr. Kolodzey gave to my family and I.
Dr. Kolodzey kept us in mind when moving/​changing offices. She sent us a noticed with her new office information. Costco is close to where I live, It’s worth the driving my family takes to visit Dr. Kolodzey, Shell, and Abraham because of the great services they give.
Today I came in for an exam and noticed that they had a Unilocal.I come here because of the service not because of reviews other customers have given. I don’t judge the doctor or staff based on the number of stars it has. But of the great service they give and provide.

I can’t say enough good things about Point Loma Optometry!!! Dr. Kolodzey is very professional and knowledgeable. She answered all my questions and put me at ease with the idea of wearing contacts. Lashell and Abraham were just as amazing. I was able to get in and out in a timely manner and they both helped me choose the right stylish frames to fit my face and personality.
I have referred several of my friends and clients to Point Loma Optometry and everyone has been extremely satisfied. Thank you for taking care of my eyes!!!

Everything was great until my eyewear finally came in, and my prescription was a little funky. «Just try it for a week, maybe your eyes will adjust,» she said. So I did, and they didn’t. Unfortunately, my apprehension was not documented in my file; when I came back for the adjustment, I was told how I had instead raved on and on about how amazing the eyewear was, and that was what was written down. And what was written down was only just short of the Bible, and to think different would be just short of blasphemy.
It wasn’t such a big deal that the documentation or prescription or whatever didn’t match my «opinion» (yes, according to her), but as it turns out, I don’t fancy myself keen on being called a liar. Beyond that, she got really defensive, and really just tried to break me down into believing that I was wrong about what I was actively seeing out of my own eyes.
Even given the fact that I was an insane and horribly difficult patient and probably even had rabies, from a customer service standpoint, isn’t the customer always right? I will plead my case in saying I really had no hidden agenda in wanting a different prescription, and I wasn’t trying to step on anyone’s toes or hurt feelings… honestly, I just wanted to be able to see without squinting.
Consequently, it comes down to a matter of «opinion» (Heh. See what I did there?): I will be taking my business elsewhere.

I’m a first time patient of PL Optometry and Dr. Kolodzey. I’ve been wearing glasses for 28 years, and contacts for 15+. She’s one of the best eye docs that I’ve seen. In addition to being kind, professional and thorough, she has poor vision too — and can relate. She also knows her business… We nerded out about eyeglass technology (and how it’s advanced in the last 5 years) for 15 minutes :)
I agree with Klaudia U (other Unilocaler) about their helpfulness with pricing options and helping to save money. Really great!
Eye care is not cheap, but I only have one set of unreplaceable eyeballs, and I want the best care possible for them. I’m confident that Point Loma Optometry is the right place. I’ll be going back!
