San Leandro Optometry Group

Love it here. Been going here for years. Love their new location. The staff and doctor are fabulous. Doctor is always cheerful and friendly and explains everything in detail. I started taking my kids here and even they both said the people here are very friendly. Staff is also very nice and helpful.
Only issue I would point out is the front desk staff. Not efficient or professional but I think that just speaks for their generation. Once you check in the experience is wonderful.

Had a scheduled appointment well ahead of time; like several weeks. Once I arrived, I was told they would be giving me an eye exam. When I first came in and scheduled my appointment, I informed the front desk person I had a previous eye exam at Kaiser. I just needed to find a prescription under my vision carrier. I was then told I couldn’t be seen, but was asked to fill out paper work that I previously filled out. I was then scheduled for another appointment because I did not have the prescription with me. You would think I would of been told this on the very first visit. It was like none of my paperwork was processed. This was a total waste of time. Not sure I will be returning. My time is too valuable to waste leaving work early. They were very unorganized.

My family (wife and two children) and I have been going to SL Optometry for years. We all ware glasses, and unfortunately we have very poor vision coverage from our crummy insurance. Even with the little resources our insurance affords us, the staff at SL Optometry have bent over backwards to meet our needs. For example, when my son switched to contact lenses so he could take up fencing, his prescription was on back order. SL optometry gave us free samples for weeks to carry him over until his prescription came in. I suffer from a degenerative retinal disease and my vision is always changing. SL optometry has provided eye tests for me even when my insurance wouldn’t cover it. These are really good people who take great care of their customers. That is something I deeply appreciate and value.
In all fairness I want to point out that both the low reviews for this establishment are from people who don’t even live in the area. They also give very low reviews for dubious reasons.

The doctor/​optometrist was really sweet and professional but the front staff were not very helpful and gave me a lot of back and forth when it came to figuring out my insurance benefits. Also, their prices are much higher than other optometry shops, I ended up having to pay out of pocket for a basic eye exam even with vision coverage.

It’s not a very good experience here. The doctor didn’t tell much about your symptoms. And she prescribed a medicine which is more than 100 dollars! After I searched online, I found this medicine is not fit for my symptoms… Never go there!

Came in as new patient after going on line looking for a new optometrist and found San Leandro Optometry Group. Great staff very friendly and polite, office is really nice and they have a great selection of frames and sun glasses. I will defiantly will be coming back and will recommend Dr. Rosalia Saavedra to friends and family.

I am so happy I found Dr. Saavedra and her staff. The doctor and her staff are all professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I never felt pressured or rushed. I love the glasses they helped me pick out and the contacts the doctor prescribed for me. I highly recommend Dr. Saavedra to any one who wants great service, fair prices, and an overall pleasant experience.

Came here to have my eyes checked after refusing to wear glasses for my entire adolescence. (Horrible idea.)
I was given two quick forms to fill out and then very quickly led back to the exam room by Ana, a member of the staff. She explained every test she performed with clarity, making me very comfortable, and was soooooo sweet and personable.
Ana led me to the other exam room where I waited – again not that long – for Dr. Saavedra. Another great experience. Dr. Saavedra is very kind, gentle, and friendly, and made me feel at ease. When she finished conducting her tests, she confirmed what I already knew – that I needed glasses – and took me back out to select my frames with Ana.
Ana was very patient, although I think I went through about 30 frames before finding «the ones». Lol. She then went through another 10 or 15 sunglasses frames with me so that if my regular glasses are a success, which I know they will be, I can just call and put in my order for the sunglasses with my prescription.
I have never been so excited to wear glasses, and have never loved going to the optometrist so much! Definitely recommend, no question.

Wonderfull people. Awsome friendly and willing to work with you. Regardless if you are undecided or unsure of what you want. Great experience! I recommend everyone to give the San Leandro Optometry Group a visit

This office is very friendly, professional, and clean. They have kids things to do in the waiting room. Receptionist and assistant were personable, patient, and accomodating (I brought my preschool son there). Dr. Saavedra was extremely knowledgeable and had a great «bedside manner». She was kind, patient, effervescent, dynamic, and articulate. Exceptional!

Great customer service, very thorough, i’ve been going here for years and the Doctor is VERY informative and kind! Highly recommend!

Highly recommend! The doctor is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly — very professional and personable. She explained things to me that no other optometrist I’ve seen in the past had.
The staff is also awesome — everyone was friendly and patient with me, even though it was dark as I was the last patient of the day. They understood and explained my benefits to me, and were overall great.
Very well-​run — so glad I found this place!

Came in here to get glasses, and they happened to be having a trunk show with reps from Michael Kors and Calvin Klein there. The reps were extremely patient in helping me choose out glasses that worked .The optometrist was really friendly, and seemed to run the place very well. Staff was all welcoming and on top of their responsibilities. I’d definitely recommend this place — they have a good assortment of frames to chose from as well.
Best of all? They’re right next to Los Pericos. :)
