2005-09-20 17:22:16 Dr. Guerreri is super-friendly, and very competent. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a new eye doc. —AlexPomeranz
2005-11-03 19:38:10 These guys have the coolest sign in Davis. It reads "DJ Blackman and MC Guerreri" its like they are rap superstars who moonlight as optometrists. Can the entertainment council get them to play the COHO by any chance? —ZacMorris
2005-12-10 10:11:15 I recently visited Dr. Guerreri's office for the first time. He and his staff were very friendly, helpful, and thorough. I plan to continue my care with them. —AmandaSmith
2006-01-05 16:54:15 Dr. Guerrieri is a fantastic doctor and is extremely friendly (and chatty). If you are new in town, I highly recommend him. FYI: they have a really small selection of eyeglasses in my opinion....but yet again, Davis is a small town & the office isn't very big. —AmyGunnarson
2006-03-31 19:24:54 I went to Dr. Guerreri to get my contacts and glasses prescription. He was a great optometrist, answered all of my questions completely, and was willing to explain everything he did. The office also took retinal pictures of my eye so that they can look back on the changes in my eyes over the years. They had a good selection of frames and took the VSP insurance that I had as a university employee. —RohiniJasavala
2006-04-26 13:19:12 Dr. Blackman has been my optometrist since I moved to Davis. He's really friendly and nice. I'm surprised to see the comment about how 'angry' and 'ballastic' he got because he is pretty laid back. I was even late for an appointment one time and he made an exception to see me anyway. I'm pretty happy with my contacts and I have never been told to wear my contacts for more than I should. —HenryWatson
2007-02-15 10:46:42 Dr. Guerreri is really friendly, nice and intelligent. He explained everything to me in super detail, so now I finally understand why I have bifocals (but can see close up). He even talked to me about general health things (while being funny because he is an eye dctor, I found it cute because he wanted to make sure I was healthy otherwise...) I would recommend this office. Everyone is nice, the office is very cozy and Dr. Guerrieri was excellent to work with. My glasses look great, :D —ChristyMarsden
2007-07-16 11:51:33 BOOOOOO! I told Dr. Blackman that I was happy with my acuvue advanced lenses, but then he recommended that I try out the new oasis lenses with out telling me that there would be a $20 fitting fee. How was I supposed to know. This was my first time going to the optometrist since I left my home town and home optometrist who wasn't a big cheater. Since I borrowed the money for the appointment in the first place I didn't have the extra twenty bucks to pay the fee and even though my insurance would have paid for the contacts for me, Dr. Blackman's office won't release my prescription to me until I pay the $20. Don't go here. They are big scam artists. —Megan
I think "big scam artists" would charge you more than $20 for something without telling you. It sounds like this was either an innocent mistake, or more likely you just weren't paying attention. PhilSpear
2008-01-12 09:15:13 I've been seeing Dr. Guerrieri for over ten years now and he's just awesome. Very personable and very detailed in his explanations of all aspects of optometry. He's shown great care in getting just the right prescription and having me try multiple contact lenses for trial periods to make sure I get the best fit. When I moved to Sac for a few years I still commuted over for my eye appointments. Always a great experience. We're lucky to have him here in Davis. —KarenEmbry
2008-01-29 13:00:39 WOW!!!! that blonde receptionist they have ( i think her name is Rachael) is SSSSOOOOOO cute!!!! i would make an appt. just to come in and see her. i HIGHLY recommend this office. —MeatyMike
2008-03-10 13:17:40 Dr. Blackman was friendly and competent and I felt like I had a thorough exam. However, picking out and ordering the frames was extremely time consuming. It is a small office and the staff is slow and not familiar with a breadth of prescription nuances. I had some difficulties which were finally resolved in a good way. -AnneLouise
2008-05-03 09:50:37 i had a horrible expirience in speaking with the staff at this office!First speaking to the non competent office manager who was unable to answer my questions had no personable skills what so ever, to follow the young asian women who called her self the glass technician who breath was just unbelievable!!!the bald doctor who ran his mouth for god sake !!!it is unbelievable that an office like that has been opened for so long. Not to mention their front staff rude except for the young lady who sat up in the middle in the front desk she took the time to explain my insurance benefits to me with no rush.Overall please think twice before wasting your time in that office!!!!!!i would hate for any of our local or non local friends waste their time in this office!!!!good luck!!!! —zenya
2008-05-20 23:56:39 MC and DJ are their real initials. So disappointing. —LindsayLi
2008-09-28 18:07:24 i've been a patient of dr. g's for about 3 years now and LOVE dr. g!!!! i was going through finals and stressin and ripped one of my last contacts, i got his personal cell off the answering maching and he met me down at the office on a sunday...gave me a free trial at no charge...he's a clutch dr. —liamcalfy
2008-10-12 09:46:24 I love Dr. G's office, nothing but good experiences. i highly recommend him —SydneyMyers
2008-11-20 11:08:48 I've been going to see Dr. Guerri my whole life, he's always been amazing. My mom still drives down from 45 minutes away to go to him. She likes it there so much she won't switch. —sarahlant
2009-04-15 12:32:43 My one-time experience with this place was overall pretty negative. I picked this place at random for a quick contact-lense replacement. I made it clear over the phone that I was not a regular customer (and thus had to send over my prescription). The office-lady nonetheless assured me that a single replacement would be free. When I went over to the office however, I was presented with a $30 pack of contacts. My protests that this was not the deal were (politely) brushed aside; I didn't really have much choice at that point since I needed my normal vision immediately. Basically, the staff should be better-informed of the policies of their workplace. —Fazil
2009-04-21 08:45:46 I have been with Dr. Guirreri for 4 years now, and have nothing but positive experiences with him as an optometrist. I think any negative comments on this page are generally directed at the office and staff, and from what I see, the staff does have a high rate of turnover, and the new people may not be as informed about policies and procedures as some would like. I have found Dr. Guirreri himself to be extremely knowledgable, very helpful, and willing to put himself in your shoes to find the best medical or lifestyle option to fit your optometry needs and would highly recommend him. —xen0cide
2009-05-11 16:05:14 Dr. Guerreri is WAY cool and I have not had anything but good experiences in regards to him and his staff. I once lost my reading glasses and had no money to buy new ones, so he gave me a cheap pair for FREE and I didn't even have to ask! Thanks Dr. Guerreri!! —mydiaz
2009-06-26 23:45:13 Dr. Guerrieri is a G! (You know, g for gangster...) He is very talkative and knowledgeable. The staff (interestingly all women) tried their best to help me with all my needs. —deathstare
2010-02-18 13:28:00 I don't remember which doctor I had, but he complimented the back of my eye, which was funny but also awesome. Very friendly. —FloridianPlywood
2010-04-13 15:52:01 The folks at Guerrieri’s office are thoughtful, patient, informative, skilled, and very friendly. Today I had three pairs of glasses that I needed adjusted. Raquel, with warmth and consideration, helped me until each fit perfectly. This is the treatment my husband, daughter and I have received consistently from the people in this office for years. —sks
2010-05-06 11:17:50 All of the girls are very cute..The girl that helps you find glasses is especially cute.but don't try anything, she's married! Aside from being cute she also is very helpful and she know's everything about glasses..She found me the perfect pair.. Thank you! —GaryC
2010-05-13 15:48:59 There are two girls there who are HOT. One sits at front and the other is Latina and tall. The guy there is super chill and funny. Its a great office and the Dr. is cool. Thanks —j.allen
2010-07-27 13:41:16 I've been seeing DJ Guerrieri for over 17 years. I've driven over 70 miles one way just to see him. He is thorough, informed, intelligent, and most of all personable. His professionalism and personality can't be beat. I won't trust anyone else with my eyes. —WilliamVolkl
2010-10-27 11:37:06 Excellent place. Got a great eye exam, including a discussion of what the relative diameter of blood vessels in the back of my eye means for heart disease. Got some great sets of glasses. They tried something new and it worked well. —YogaBhoga
2011-01-10 15:39:45 I like their selection of frames better than some other places in town, plus they had a stash of discontinued frames at a big discount so that the entire price of some pretty nice frames was covered by GSHIP. Plus, good service - and some of the staff even helped me decide on a style. I've already gone back for one adjustment and they were fast and helpful again. —LauraLibby
2011-02-05 15:08:01 I wouldn't say this place is terrible, but it is certainly not as excellent as all the comments on this wiki page lead you to believe. Dr. Guerrieri takes his sweet time getting into the exam room, and I spent most of my time with one of his technicians, not the Dr! He talks too much and doesn't really give you the time to explain any concerns. Also, it is ridiculous that you have to pay to release your prescription! The staff has made errors on my bill, so examine yours carefully. —yadayada
2011-10-11 21:04:46 Very highly recommended. As a poor college student, anytime I have to get a new pair of contacts or glasses I'm apprehensive. His office staff is always very helpful in helping me solve my eye problems without spending a lot of money such as suggesting ways to keep hydrated, ways to make my contacts last longer, what eye drops to buy, etc. The Dr. himself is very knowledgable, friendly, and eager to get to know you on a personal level. I now know about my cholesterol level because of the diameter of my eye arteries! Great place, been going here for two years. —JadeLopez
2012-01-26 13:35:49 My first visit to this optometrist went seemingly well... they examined my eyes and taught me how to use my new contacts etc. I gave them my insurance info and they informed me that I was covered for either one set of contacts or one set of eyeglasses. Sounds great right? WRONG. Apparently with my consent the office ordered a more expensive set of contacts, and when I went to pick them up I was informed that there would be a 50 dollar charge. This was my first time going to an optometrist outside my hometown, so I figured somewhere along the line I was mislead into ordering a more expensive pair of lenses. I didn't have the money at the time so I got only what was covered by my insurance.. the lenses for my left eye. I later came back with the money and ordered the other half, its been two weeks now and the lenses STILL haven't arrived. Disorganized, misleading, I will probably never go here again -> they take advantage of ignorant college students. —CliffordThomas
2012-03-12 11:03:22 The staff is friendly. However, the first time I saw Dr. Guerrieri back in '11 he kept touching my leg, like a lot. Pats about 5 inches above the knee. When I went again this year there was another guy in the room and he only touched my shoulder. Maybe he is just a friendly guy. But it felt really patronizing, and not really necessary as an eye doctor. Also, the most recent time I went they were running over 30 minutes late, which I get because they're busy, but I think they should call in advance if they're running that late and let their appointments know. —davislady
2012-03-19 12:15:02 Over the weekend, the frame of my eyeglasses became bent out of shape after someone sat on them in the aftermath of St. Patrick's Day festivities. I needed to have them repaired quickly, but I'm still new to town and don't have a local optometrist. I called Dr. Guerrieri's office and asked if it would be possible for them to bend my frame back into shape, even though I was not a patient. The receptionist told me they would be happy to see me, and Dr. Guerreri was able to fix my frame for me without any charge. I found him and his office staff to be friendly, accommodating, and professional. I will definitely consider signing up with Dr. Guerrieri when I switch to a local optometrist. —AlexHirsch
