Joseph K Kikumoto, OD

Dr. Kikumoto is the best! When he noted some irregularities during my exam a few years ago, he urged me to see a specialist ASAP. At Dr. Kikumoto’s recommendation, I made an appointment to see Dr. Richard Hill, a glaucoma specialist. I was diagnosed with narrow angle glaucoma which required immediate attention. Dr. Hill said that Dr. Kikumoto’s thorough exam and recommendation quite literally saved my eyesight. I will be forever indebted to Dr. Kikumoto…

Great place to have your eye exam. Knowledgable and friendly.

I highly recommend Dr. Kikumoto and his office. My husband and I moved here from No. Calif. two years ago. We went to another doctor in Mission Viejo and had a lousy experience. So I decided to give Dr. Kikumoto a try. Boy, am I glad we did. He diagnosed my eyeglass prescription perfectly, he treated my eye abrasion quickly and expertly, and his office staff is great. Jovanna is one of the best people I’ve ever had in her expertise in picking out frames, etc. I agree with one of the other reviews… best OD you will ever find.

I highly recommend Dr. Onishi… he is very knowledgable and thorough and his staff is extremely friendly and efficient…

I highly recommend Dr Kikumoto. We followed him to SJC from his days of being Costcos eye Dr. Extremely friendly service. Staff is courteous and efficient too. Best eye Dr in south OC

I’ve been going to Dr. Kikumoto for years. Won’t trust anybody with my eyes but him. My eyes are so bad I’m considered legally blind and it’s been challenging to correct my vision but Dr. K always takes his time and make sure my eyes are healthy and my vision is perfect. Best OD you will ever find.

I have been using this office for my eye exams for years and am very impressed with the thoroughness of Dr. Kikumoto’s exam. I always leave there feeling every aspect of the health of my eyes have been addressed. I absolutely receive the very best in care and highly recommend the office. Getting an appointment with my crazy schedule is easy.

Dr. Kikumoto is simply the BEST !!!
My situation was not a normal situation and of course I want to wear contact. Dr. Kikumoto took his time and ordered number of different brand of lens to ensure perfect fit for a flat cornea and many other challenges to ensure all issues are addressed and I am happy.
It took us 4 years to find a decent caring eye doctor in OC after moving back to U.S. but we finally found one who cares and knows his stuff and we are spreading the word.
I also need to mention that the front desk staff are just GREAT.
Keep up the good work !!!

I went to Dr. Kikumoto’s office for my annual eye exam and a new pair of glasses. It was my first visit there and it was great. Dr. Kikumoto is thorough, personable, and knows what he is doing. He took the time to perform and explain my eye exam results. I did not feel rushed at all. He addressed my concern about my high prescription. I told him that I wear contacts during the day and glasses at night. He told me that my eyes were not getting enough oxygen from my current contacts. Without me even asking, he gave me a two-​week sample of contact lenses from two different vendors. I thought that was cool of him because I was there for glasses and not contact lenses.
The girl who helped me picked out my glasses was equally impressive. I told her that I was looking for two-​toned glasses. She went to the back room and got six more pairs. She also went online to see if my glasses come in pink and they do. She was knowledgable about what my insurance will cover and not cover.
My overall experience with Dr. Kikumoto and his office staff was excellent. Parking for the office was plentiful. The office has a good selection of brands (e.g., Coach, Oakley, Calvin Klein), as well as some high-​end brands. I highly recommend Dr. Kikumoto and the office staff at Mission Optometric.

Thorough, professional, and friendly service! Highly recommend.

Dr. Kikumoto is the best. I have followed him since he was at Costco. He is very kind and knows what he is doing. My prescriptions are always right on. Office staff is helpful and very friendly.

Dr. Joseph Kikumoto was fantastic. He took the time to walk through my eye test results and clearly explained my options. I felt like I received really good one-​on-​one time with the doctor. I’d definitely recommend.

The staff was SO nice and friendly! The doctor was very friendly and informative. The girls up front all helped me pick the perfect frames, for ME, and even went online to show me other colors I could order (which I ended up doing). I’ve already raved about them to my parents and won’t hesitate to tell my friends!

Dr. Kikumoto is very thorough and kind. I was referred to Dr. Kikumoto years ago when he was at Costco and I followed him to Mission Optometric. He explains everything he is doing and he’s also really easy to have a conversation. Also, he knows how to maximize what your insurance will cover. Mission Optometric also has a very knowledgeable staff to help you pick the right frame for your facial features. Great experience overall.

Dr. Kikumoto is the best, very friendly and knowledgable about everything eye and vision care. I have been going to him for advice on my eyes and vision for ten years and as a Disney Artist my eyes are very important to my career. He always gets my prescriptions right the first time every time and he has been there for me in emergency situations when I had bad eye irritation due to dry eye. They have a great selection of contemporary eye wear in new styles to choose from at the office as well, something for everybody.

My wife, daughter and I have been seeing Dr. Kikumoto for our eye exams for about 15 years. We are all impressed with how freindly, caring and open he is to questions and how thorough his exams are. I am over 70 and showing signs of cataracts and glaucoma but I am very confident that Dr. Kikumoto and his cadray of the latest technical equipment are tracking their progression and will assure that I get timely advice to protect my eyesight to the fullest. This is only the second time that I have felt compelled to recommend a company or a practitioner on Unilocal

Saw Dr. Onishi at Mission Optometric. He was so very thorough and will be going to him in the future!

I’ve been going to Dr. Kikumoto for years. Great office, very conveniently located and great staff!

I use to get my eyes checked here when I worked in the area. Dr Kikomoto is awesome and the front desk lady is the best. Shes always so sweet and accomodating. One time I was out of contacts, she gave me a free pair because I was going on holiday and my new ones wouldnt get here on time. I think her name is Heather. I miss this place. Next time I will try to stop by and get my eyes checked here again.

I have been going to South Coast College of Optometry for over 10 years. It was great when I didn’t have insurance because it was cheap. However, it was far away from my house and it wasn’t uncommon for my annual check-​ups to exceed 3 hours. I didn’t switch doctors, because for years I was told SCCO was the only place that could treat my condition (keratoconus).
Recently, after describing an especially frustrating appointment at SCCO, a friend of mine referred me to Mission Optometric Center. I called, and they assured me they do treat patients with keratoconus. They also accept VSP, my vision insurance. I was a little worried at first when the receptionist said my appointment would last a long time since I was a first time patient. However, I was relieved when she told me «a long time» would be about an hour to an hour and a half.
Last week, I saw Dr. Onishi for the first time. He was very thorough, efficient, and friendly. He did a great job of explaining my vision problems and what he planned to do about it.
My first visit lasted just over an hour. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate an hour eye exam after multiple 2 – 4 hour exams at SCCO! I’ll definitely be back and I will certainly recommend this optometrist.
