2009-02-02 15:37:30 Kira has always been awesome with my optometry very helpful with my random eye related questions —StevenDaubert

2009-10-08 18:01:53 Got great contact lenses and glasses from Dr. Wagner. These guys don't try to sell you pictures of the back of your eye and gave me starter contact lens solutions. Having a eye doctor and optometrist in one place is good - they solved my eye problems together. —GHHom

This comment is a sockpuppet created by Dr. David Kira in an attempt to boost his own business, and very unethical behavior for a doctor. It came from IP 71.140.28.22 which is the same IP that Dr. Kira used to make edits (as dtkira) 5 minutes before he made this fake review. —FraudAlert

* Actually - this was a patient using our open Wi-Fi in our waiting room. We added this capability just recently for our patients to be able to surf the web and be productive while dilating. We use the same computer in the dilating room - hence the same IP address. Patients are free to make comments as they wish. This patient actually found us through Davis Wiki (checked chart) - needed to see an optometrist (for glasses) and an ophthalmologist (for associated medical problem) - asked to place review. —David Kira

So, what you're saying is that you just recently added Wi-Fi ("just recently" meaning before October 8th, 2009) and on this particular Thursday during which you spent your entire lunch hour making changes to this page, you also decided to make another change just before 6pm and there happened to be a patient in your waiting room, despite the fact that your office closes at 5pm, and this particular patient coincidentally happened to leisurely write a review from his laptop computer that he brought with him to his after-hours eye exam not 5 minutes later, which you later edited yourself? Is that really what you're saying? By the way, don't sign with my signature. —FraudAlert

2010-02-12 10:40:15 Dr.Kira and Wagner are quite professional and friendly. I can't say the same thing for "In house optical lab". They were not friendly to me and even they didn't give the necessary explanation for the bill and my insurance claims. When I get my frames, I saw that the lenses were not placed correctly into frames (It took 10 days to process my order), I had to fix them by myself. I used the frames that I purchased from someplace else, they charged my insurance $15 without telling me. I am so sorry to have worked with them. —Stan34

2010-04-20 18:14:50 Stan does not seem to happy with other merchants as well SEE HERE. Attempted to contact Stan - no reply - Stan, please call us! —dtkira

2010-07-06 16:32:25 This phone number does not work! Does anyone know the new one? —SexyPianist89

I just called the number, and a receptionist for Medical Vision Technology answered. Seems fine to me. —ScottMeehleib

2010-07-22 04:04:32 This has been where I've gone for eye care as long as I can remember... meaning wherever I went before junior high or so was less than memorable. I've always felt welcomed and well cared-for and see absolutely no reason that any member of the staff would feel the need to place a false review here. Their service speaks for itself. I not only leave the office feeling confident in my eye health, but feeling EDUCATED about it. Even when, up until last week, I'd left with nothing but compliments on my sight. Last week I left with a prescription for my newly nearsighted right eye... Or it was news to me, anyway. Imagine my shock going from 20/20 to "...I can't read that at all". Of course, I hadn't been in for 3 years "seeing" no issue with my sight. I learned my lesson.
I was doomed, I suppose. My whole family wears glasses.
Regardless, I was pleased with the assessment and now am aware that I see better if I close my lame eye. Psh. I'll be shopping for spectacles tomorrow. Thank you, doctors and staff, and I will be back next July!

2010-07-24 18:40:38 Saw Dr. Kira this Saturday - we were referred to him as an on-call provider from my daughter's pediatric group. My 3 year old daughter had (what turned out to be) a bug stuck in her eye. Dr. Kira was really kind and gentle with her, took the time to explain to her everything he was doing, and had it out in just a few minutes. Thank you! —DanielBoxwell

2010-10-22 01:58:24 Dr. Wagner was super nice and attentive when he did my eye exam. However, their contact lens prices are a lot higher than other places. I got mine for $40/box, I called several other places and it was $35/box. That said, I'd go here for my eye exam but I will never buy contact lenses here again!! —thtly

2011-05-03 13:16:13 I have had glasses for 25 years and contacts for cumulatively 10+ years, and never have I had so much trouble getting my prescription correct. I was fine with Dr Kira, as he handled my glasses last year, but Dr Wagner handles all things contacts-related. So this year, I was newly fitted for contacts, and when I got my first trial pair, the contact for my right eye was VERY wrong. I went back and got another trial, which was less wrong but I still couldn't read properly, so I have since taken my business elsewhere, as I no longer trust them with my eye care. —deeray82

2012-01-05 21:16:35 I have also had trouble getting the right prescription. The whole experience also felt rushed. I'm not planning on going back. —DaveG
