2007-08-14 21:56:45   Dr. Sara, a UCD alumnus who grew up in Davis as I recall her telling me, was quite friendly and professional. I was even given a discount because I had no coverage of any kind (no benefits for the UCD casual postdoc-employee, it seems). I recommend this optometrical service. —MaviGozler

2007-08-24 12:12:11   The service was above and beyond what I expected, not to mention the awesome selection of frames. They actually treat you like they care about your eyes' health. My business will definately stay with them! —Lewis

2007-09-28 15:29:15   I had a really bad eye problem and came her just on a whim. She prescribed me some drops and it helped a lot. What sucks is they don't accept my insurance there. But they're really nice people and very helpful. They even fixed my broken glasses. They also have discounts for UCD students and have a 99 dollar deal for frames and lenses. —SteffanyLim

2007-10-12 22:44:08   I went to Angel Eyes last week for my eye exam because I heard they are the only place in Davis that actually carry trendy frames. Not only did I get what I was looking for, the Dr and staff were very nice and professional. I still get compliments on my frames! —Sonia

2008-03-29 22:56:06   I let to know Dr. Sara and Dr. Laila Niyati and can heartily recommend their “Angel Eye Care” - Family Optometry Office & Shop. I am actually a patient of the younger Dr. Laila which is really good optometrist and an exceptionally nice person.

I come from Europe (Germany) and wear the glasses -7.0D. I’ve never before accounted any problem there to find thin lenses for my glasses. However, after I came to the US, I had a really unpleasant experience with the other Davis optometrist, which prescribed me so thick lenses that I was almost ashamed to wear these glasses. Then, I found this Shop, when I was returning DVDs to a nearby BlockBaster in the Marketplace Shopping Mall.
Dr. Laila worked out with me the different options, so that I can get the best frame and thin lenses for the price I pay. I was a bit afraid (having previous experience with “Helmus”) how it would look like at the end. But, now I can say that I am completely satisfied with the frame and a right choice of lens index (thinness).

Beside a large choice of the different very nice and fancy frames, sunglasses, contact lenses, they also offer a complete eyes exam and perfect very polite service. They accept the VSP Insurance and sometimes can offer a discount or you can find their discount coupons in Advertisements. Once again, to all foreigner students, postdocs, as well as, to everybody else who wants to find good Optometry Shop in Davis and get great service, I would say don’t look any further. Especially, for young guys and girls, I recommend Dr. Laila who is willing to work out with you on the esthetic issues. And I got my glasses done breezing-fast…

2008-06-24 05:56:22   I went in yesterday to look at frames in baggy/ scrub-like clothes and Dr. Sara (i think) treated me like their best client. I didn’t even know she was the doc until the very end when she formally introduced herself. She looks soooooo young to be a Dr. She was INCREDIBLY helpful and friendly! I have a wide face and most frames don’t look good on me so I was doubtful to find anything that would look ok on me by their small selections (in my opinion). But quantity wasn’t the case. Her experience made picking out frames very easy and fun. She was so helpful and gave great advice/opinion. She stayed open late for me too! I would recommend this place to everyone! —ILikeToEat

2008-08-09 13:23:40   I dont really care for this place. I went here for my eye exam a few weeks ago and had a horrible experience. The lady at the front desk was rude and didnt know anything about my insurance. One of the Drs had their baby in the office who was crying and I think that is EXTREMELY unprofessional!! Especially in a medical setting. The office is very tiny and they only have ONE exam room! With multiple Drs! I thought that was very unusual. It was unlike any experience I have ever had with an optometrist before, and I have been wearing glasses my entire life. (over 30 yrs). The Dr that I saw (the skinnier and I think younger one, since they both go by the same last name) was very nice, very helpful but not very knowledgable. I got the impression she was new and unexperienced. She was however very nice though. I will never go back here. —durangochick

2008-10-15 15:52:53   I went in for the first time since I got the VSP school insurance and Dr. Laila was great! She gave me a very thorough exam. There is also a good selection of frames here too. The staff was very helpful in helping me pick one. I always had difficulty picking out the right frame that fits my face and I finaly found one here! The frames are modern and trendy! —PSL

2008-12-18 15:38:14   I had an eye exam here and ordered a new pair of glasses. Everything went smoothly and I was notified promptly when my glasses came in. I don't know if it is standard procedure for other Optometrists but after my exam I received a copy of my prescription which I think is a very good thing to have. —ScottMorgan

2008-12-15 18:18:42   I find it VERY suspicious that no less than 2 of the reviews here (by Dragan and ILikeToEat) give positive reviews to Angel Eye Care and negative reviews to Helmus and Helmus (another optometrist) on the SAME DAY (check the log). Sonia's comment is also a first time post.

For this reason I will NOT be going to Angel Eye Care. —DrWang

2009-04-15 19:50:09   The service was nice there. The doctor was professional (although she keep chewing on that piece of gum which I was somewhat annoyed) and she was nice. She gave me a detailed checkup on my eyes which was nice. However, the exam took longer than my usual eye doctor, which I don't mind sometimes, but I had a feeling that she knows that patients want a longer, more detailed exams (it makes them more likable). I came in for the second time for my eye dilation (at no additional cost), and it took 45 minutes from my schedule appointment. While waiting for my exam, I heard some jokes about their customers which I felt was unprofessional (from the front desk). I didn't really like that. Other than that, the doctor was really nice and one of the front desk clerks helped me choose a great frame.

I would come here again, for my next pair of glasses. I got my new pair of glasses in 7 days, which isn't too bad. The front desk clerk today was really nice today. He fixed my glasses so it would look good on my face. Thanks!

This place if you want a longer, perhaps a more detailed exam on your eyes —greencohort

2009-06-21 14:24:43   I have been going to kaiser my entire life and recently got married, and switched my insurance to be under my husbands job because he gets much better coverage than i did. I always HATED kaiser, kaiser is horrible ive always had horrible service and experience there. So i went to this "angel eye care" place thinking it couldnt get any worse than kaiser. well i was WRONG. i ordered glasses and it took almost 3 weeks for them to arrive, one of the lenses was scratched so i couldnt see out of it. the office was very small and i mean VERY SMALL. frame selection was ok, kaiser definetely had more, but this place more trendy. the day i went in for my eye exam, the receptionist was very rude, but i gve her the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe she was just having a bad day, but when i went in to pick up my glasses she was there again and rude again. she didnt smile at all, it was almost as if she was annoyed that she had to be there. the dr was nice though. oh and it was like 100 degress outside and i dont think they even had the air conditioner on. anyhow, i wouldnt go back there, id rather go back to kaiser. —passion4art

2009-06-26 00:23:20   This is a Reply to Passion4art. This is Dr. Sara, one of the optometrists in this office. So sorry that you had such a bad experience here. Sorry you didnt have a good encounter at the front reception. We take pride in our staff being friendly and nice so I think what you experienced was probably an exception not the norm. Usually our glasses dont take 3 weeks to come back and especially with the scratch. But occasionally, incidences do occur at the laboratory that delay things. At the very least, I hope we were able to repair the scratch for you since all lenses do come with a warranty. As far as the heat, we were having a stretch of a few days when our AC was broken and being repaired. But now the problem is fixed and we actually put in a new AC recently. -Dr. Sara —Dr.Sara

2009-06-26 23:06:28   I actually had my exam with Dr. Laila and she was super thorough. In fact, when I had trouble seeing out of my glasses because I'm freakishly blind, they gladly double-checked my prescription and re-did my glasses for free! It came back super fast. As for the staff, they are really professional. The receptionist is very cheerful and talkative. The really tall guy that helped me pick my glasses was very honest and straightforward. All in all, I had a pleasant experience! —deathstare

2009-07-14 16:52:27   In reply to Dr Sara...in regards to the scratch, no I went somewhere else and explained the situation and they were nice enough to fix it for me, free of charge. I will NEVER step foot into your office again. And perhaps, if these incidences are occuring with the laboratory, you should think of using a different laboratory. And with your so called employee, maybe you should re-think that as well! Good Day —passion4art

2009-07-22 15:57:07   I have been going here for almost 2 years now after being referred by a friend. They are all really friendly, thorough, and they worked out a discount for me the last time I was there. The nose piece broke off of my favorite sunglasses, and I didn't know where else to take them. I took them here expecting to pay $20, and they replaced the nose piece for free! Great customer service in my book. And they're open Saturdays!

I really like Kaiser for my medical, but I'm sticking with these guys for my optometrist needs. —CWhitecot

2009-08-29 15:31:02   I went for a pretty comprehensive eye-exam; far more comprehensive than what I have had from long ago. The exam rooms seemed to be full of modern diagnostic equipment. Dr. Laila Niyati and Amir, the optometric technician, were incredibly nice and did very well explaining what was going on and my options. Amir was fantastic in helping to find me the perfect frames and working out my insurance (not VSP). Surprisingly what they had on their wall did not work for me so he fetched a hidden stash of frames. Within those I found ones I liked and looked great in. Talk about patience! I put the order in on a Tuesday and my glasses were available for pick-up by late Friday afternoon the same week. Nice. I'll be back eventually for some sun glasses, I think. —RyanMikulovsky

2009-10-11 15:36:43   never use this place they suck!!! —passion4art

2009-10-13 01:12:47   Please don't abuse the wiki....it's too cool for this sort of behavior. —MaryamPessaran

2009-10-18 14:49:55   MaryamPessaran im not sure who ur talking to, but i can write whatever id like on here, thats what its for. im simply stating my opinion of the place and they truely suck! freedom of speech my friend —passion4art

2009-10-18 19:01:27   I had a pleasant time with the kind folks at Angel Eye Care. I live far away, so I don't have time to always head back home for my optometric needs. So I'm happy that I found an nice optometry place here in Davis! It is a very cozy, comfortable environment and the staff are very friendly and social! Dr. Niyati was very thorough during the exam and not at all intimating to converse or to ask questions with. She even allowed me to reschedule my dilation in consideration of my afternoon class(She's Aggie Alumni!). One of the staff helped me picked glasses and was very knowledgeable about my prescription and what type of frames to get (he was also honest about how I looked in them) it was like having a personal shopping assistant. He even tried to save me money by pulling out cheaper frames from the back! I'm already schedule for my next year's appt. (I guess depending on how SHIP will be next year). Great location in Davis, very authentic service here, I recommend it to everyone. —BeanMarine

2009-11-11 10:50:28   these guys are great! so nice when i came in for help with my eyes. the eye exam was professional and well done. they explained everything to me when i asked. i needed my glasses as soon as possible, so they rushed them for me. i am definitely recommending these guys to my friends who need new eye doctors here in davis! thanks!! —Millie
