Stephen Woo, OD

I saw Dr. Lira Wu and she was great! She explained everything so well. Very professional, patient, and made sure all my questions were answered. It seemed like she truly cared and wasn’t trying to rush you out. Great customer service, too!

Dr. Woo Has been filling my eye prescription for about 15 years and everybody who works there have been super. He is a kind and talented person. Nothing less than 5 stars from me

An appointment was easy to make. Checking in was pretty quick too. My overall appointment was fast and i like that! Dr Woo seemed nice and it went smoothly. I had a 5 star experience until it was time to pay.
My insurance co-​pay is $ 10. I made it clear up front i wanted only a contact lens exam and did not want my eyes dilated. I knew i had it done recently enough and did not need to pay the extra $ for another one. Dr. Woo agreed. We finished up and i was to pay $ 50. I mentioned my co-​pay for a contact lens exam was only $ 10 and inquired what the rest was for. Front desk said it was for my contact lens fitting! What? I didn’t realize this was a separate cost.
Let me back up and mention i both gave information in my sign up sheet that i’ve been wearing this brand and told Dr Woo i’ve been wearing loyal to the exact brand and type (for as long as i can remember). My eye sight worsened ever so slightly and he gave me a new pair from this brand to try on and «fit». I had them on for just a minute before he checked my eyes out to make sure they were okay.
Short story: This is all fine with me and i don’t disagree you should charge for more services … just be up front and TELL your client this will cost more. This didn’t happen and i was caught off guard. Instead, it came off shady. Also, i’ve never had someone check the fitting so quickly without a true trial. Usually i wear them for a short period of time before buying more. None of that, just a thumbs up it looked good and out the door i went.

Dr. Woo was great. Made an appointment, was seen in a very timely manner. Once again had a great check up. My eye site has actually gotten better! Great price if you don’t have coverage. If you need to get your eyes checked, give them a call and get some clarity.

Really bummed out by receptionist. You had ONE JOB!!!
I called to make an appointment and was told that they were booked for the day and I said it be great if you could call me if someone cancels because it’s the only time I have in the near future so please call me if an appointment comes available. An hour or two later the phone rings I barely missed the call it’s the optometrist the message says an appointment became available please call back. I literally called back one minute later and she says oh I’m so sorry I gave the appointment away. So why would you call me? Why did you give away my appointment when you knew I really wanted it? I feel like this is very inconsiderate to do to someone.

Been seeing Dr. Woo for probably 12+ years. He’s the best.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Woo for over three years and have almost fifty years experience with many optometrists. Dr Woo is the absolute best in every way. From my first visit, Dr Woo diagnosed an incorrect Rx from my previous optometrist. Last year, Dr Woo prescribed a monovision Rx; a perfect solution that now allows me to see everything clearly. He’s the ‘genius of optometry’ in my opinion.

Just left a very frustrating experience there. When I called to make my appointment I asked if they took my insurance. Upon arriving I was advised that they didn’t take my «special form» of a very standard type of insurance. Why couldn’t the office staff have done their due diligence ahead of time? This resulted in lost time from work and also a lost opportunity to see a different optometrist in the meantime.

The receptionist was very nice manners and took care of me well.

So you can’t make an appointment in person and they don’t answer the phone. Therefore no service? That’s a joke. Front door guy with glasses and African American said you can only enter if you have an appointment) not making me want to return.

Steven Woo is as bad as his receptionist.
10 minute refraction testing with very limited equipment.
Filled his prescription right there in the optical department and when I picked up my glasses the vision was a disaster. I have never been a member of Kaiser Permanente but if I were I think it might equate to this kind of service.
Your eyes are too important to trust them with a cookie cutter optometrist, go to one that will give you the time it takes to get it right.

A great value for the services received. Dr. Woo told me about cataracts that my previous doctors had failed to spot or mention. He was polite, fast and personable. I highly recommend this office.
My eye exam with a fitting for contacts was less than $ 100. He also gave me a sample pair of lenses.

Love my eye doctor! Gentle and caring, but firm. He has me scheduled to see an ophthalmologist ASAP since the pressure in my eyes is a little more than high. Keep in mind, I tried several times to get out of the «eye air blow» test. He wasn’t having it. I thank you for being firm with me and letting me know the seriousness of my situation!

–fast, efficient, accurate + nice!
–New patient, in and out less than $ 100 and fewer than 30 minutes on a very crowded Saturday
–covered all the bases I’ve gone through with past ophthalmologists
–saw Dr. Woo
–receptionists were helpful
–followed up when I couldn’t read one of the values on my script, got it clarified in a few minutes by receptionist over the phone

Very efficient, friendly, competent service! There are no frills, and the price is low, but Dr. Woo knows what he is doing, and I would definitely return to him in the future. I was able to make an appointment for the same week, and was seen pretty close to my appointment time (maybe a 10 minute wait) — which is awesome for any doctor, particularly for one known for «low prices.» I was very happy with the service. I was able to get an eye exam for myself and my son for the same price as a single exam at other places!

Came here for a routine eye exam and to renew my contact lens prescription. I was helped by Dr. Lee (who’s in on Mondays and — I think — Wednesdays) and found him to be friendly and efficient. He’s a talker and makes you feel right at home, giving you his experiences on different products, services, etc. The receptionist at the front desk was also very friendly and quick to schedule appointments and answer questions.
Five stars all around for a friendly group of people who do their jobs well. The price was also the lowest I found with a routine eye exam (with a prescription for glasses) costing $ 54 and an eye exam with a prescription for both glasses and contacts coming in at $ 94.

Sadly my update is not so positive. Dr. Woo is still good, but his receptionists are, how shall I say this, not the best communicators. Too bad.

For busy people everywhere, check «get eye exam/​lens prescription» off your list and head to Dr. Stephen Woo’s office conveniently located inside Costco.
While you don’t need a Costco membership to get an eye exam with Dr. Woo (at Costco’s entrance, explain to the Costco entrance police– they annoy me– and they’ll wave you in).
That said, I bet most of Dr. Woo’s patients have a membership card because Costco has dirt cheap contact lens prices.
Briskly efficient yet thorough, you’re in good hands with this optometrist who will get you in and out the door in minutes. Three steps away, hand your new prescription to the Costco optical department (you do need a membership to buy the lenses here) and you’re on your way.
Or, in my case, to combo my eye doctor appointment with a quick Costco shopping trip. Streamlining errands and chores, oh-​so-​helpful and sanity-​saving.
Now I won’t dread that line item on my «to do» list since an exam with Dr. Woo is fast, convenient and keeps my eyes healthy.
5 star.

Dr. Woo is fantastic for a number of reasons:
1) He’s located in Costco. I don’t know about you but I’m at Costco every weekend so it’s nice that he’s right there when I need him.
2) He’s efficient. He sees a lot of patients every day but he’s always calm and quick.
3) You don’t feel like he’s rushing you out the door, even when you need him to say «E or F» a few times.
Scheduling can be a bit of a challenge because his office is tiny and he only has one receptionist. They can put you on hold for a while but hang in there. The receptionists are always really nice and you’re sure to get the appointment that you need.
I hadn’t seen Dr. Woo in a few years =T and I needed a check up and a contact lens fitting. The total ran me $ 109.

Dr. Woo’s office is in Costco — but don’t let that fool you! You don’t have to be a member of Costco to visit him and he’s independent from Costco — he just happens to have his office there. Just let the Costco membership doorman know you are going to the optical area and he will point you in the right direction.
Dr. Woo seems to be a really nice, professional and courteous guy.
An eye exam with him is an affordable $ 49.
I called and was able to schedule an appointment the day before — and once I arrived the wait to see him was less than five minutes. I don’t think you have to necessarily make an appointment — I think walk-​ins are welcome as well.
In/​Out, Boom, Boom, Done.
