Patient Testimonials
I use yelp almost daily but have never been moved to actually write a review...until now. I love this optometry practice! I myself am a physician and am highly critical of healthcare services and would recomend this place to anyone. Professional, courteous, personable, and knowledgeable staff , particularly Ruth and Dr Mac. My only fear is that this gem will become so popular it will become too busy!

I am the daughter of two optometrists, so I KNOW optometrists! Having recently moved to the Bay Area, I needed to find a local optometrist. Knowing of his reputation, my optometrist mom handpicked Dr. Lim as her recommendation. I must say (sorry Mom and Dad) that this was the best eye care experience ever!
FAST: After check-in, I was immediately greeted by a staff member who took me directly to pre-testing for the start of my exam.
STAFF: The entire staff is friendly and very professional. When choosing frames, I had a lot of options and was having difficulty finalizing my selection. Several of the staff joined the process and helped me make my final decision.
DR. LIM: He's the best! Super professional and intelligent and also extremely caring (great people skills). I didn't feel rushed during my eye exam (which can sometimes be intimidating during the "which is better, 1 or 2" part as I tend to take forever to make up my mind).
CLEAN: The office is bright and clean and the staff wipes down all eye equipment frequently which left me, the germo-phobe, relieved - Hayley M. 10/25/2010

"Dr. Lim is the ultimate professional when it comes to eye care. I've been seeing Dr. Lim for roughly 7 years now, and have been extremely pleased with his entire office. The front office staff is very attentive both on the phone and in person. The office is a comfortable setting, and their selection of frames is large. I would highly recommend a visit to Dr. Lim and his colleagues when choosing an optometrist. -Rey (29/06/10)
"I've gone here for a few years, already. Dr. Mac is very friendly. He shows lots of concern for his patients. I have diabetes, as well as the hubby. He always suggests things we could do to improve our health, not just our eyesight, which diabetes can greatly effect. The y do about three or four different tests on your eyes, and that's before you go in to see the optometrist. Their frame selection is very good. Lots of high-end brands, some lower costing ones. Frames are pretty much the only thing I wear in terms of names brands. Last time I got Calvin Klein eyeglasses and Oakley sunglasses. This time around, I'm ordering Hugo Boss and another pair of Oakleys. They have Fendi, Dior, Coach, YSL, also, for you brand lovers ;-) So, they're a little pricey. If you've got a flexible spending card through your work, at least you buy them pre-tax. Dr. Mac even convinced me to consider contacts. I've always worn glasses, at least since I was in 6th grade (so most of my life). But he suggested if I wear contacts casually, I could get some disposals. The staff is always friendly, as well. From the front desk, to the assistants helping me fit for glasses! Oh, the kicker, and most genius thing that ever happened to me...Dr. Mac gave me one-day disposals to use while I was trying on frames! If you've shopped for glasses before, it sucks trying them on without your vision. Your face is right up against the mirror, just to see how they look on you! Not this time around. Kudos to that!!!!

"Great job! Excellent service! The service I received at Berryessa Optometry from all the staff exceeds my expectations of great customer service. As a patient for many years, I will definitely return and would recommend Dr. Mac to all my coworkers, customers, friends, and family." (4/30/09)
"I have been visiting Dr. Mac for 2 years now. I was introduced to him while I was in optometry school. He's a specialist in my condition, and fit me into special contact lenses. Dr. Mac also gives very personal care and he carefully explains each step he takes. The front desk takes care of insurance authorizations very well, and I had no trouble getting the necessary special lenses I needed. The staff in this office are very friendly and helpful. Residents in San Jose are lucky to have this optometry practice in their area." -Lianghao (4/24/09)

"Dear Dr. Lim, thank you so much for taking good care of me in my eye care needs. I'm also writing this letter to let you know how I've enjoyed the service provided by Angela who was not only extremely courteous, but also exceptionally knowledgeable in fitting and caring for my eye glasses. She's also very patient and always took her time in answering all my questions. I sincerely hope I'd continue to have her help in the future." -Lu ( 03/20/09)
"Keep up the good work! More power to your office!" -Lorna ( 03/19/09)
"You are the best! You and your staff are knowledgeable, thorough, and take great care for our family. Your office has up-to-date technology, great frame selection and quality lenses that are comfortable to wear all day! I started going to Dr. Lim before I started a family, and now all my kids are in college. Our family is thankful for your help to take care of our precious eyes! I have also referred other patients who are equally impressed and happy with the care that they receive." -Duyen ( 03/18/09)
"I was very happy with my visit, so keep up the good work and I will tell others about your services. I have been going to your office for about 5 years, and I was living in Modesto at the time. I plan to continue going your office. Thank you." -Virginia ( 02/22/09)
"I was very pleased with the level of care I got in my visit to Dr. Lim, both from him, and the other office staff. Then, when I came back to pick out frames and order glasses, Jill was of great help. She was able to produce lots of distinctions for me to help in deciding. I am confident I will like what I have chosen. I have already recommended your office to others, and I will continue to do so. I will certainly be back myself. BTW, I don't give referrals lightly. I think you guys have a very well run business, very oriented around the customer. Owning my own business, I know what that takes. Well done to all of you." -Michael Yaholkovsky ( 02/16/09)
"I've been coming to Berryessa Optometry for at least eight years, and I have always been taken good care of by your kind staff and doctors. Everyone at the office is very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I always enjoy my visits and learn something new. Keep up the good work!" -Meliza ( 02/15/09 )
"Finding the right optometrist for my family has been an ongoing search for years. Then finally I found Dr. Lim based on a friend's referral. He was very professional and patient, answering every question I threw at him. I now feel confident that my family has an optometrist we can trust. The staff was also very friendly. I highly recommend Berryessa Optometry. I just got a pair of glasses with IZON lenses. They are awesome! It's honestly like watching TV in HD. You'll love them!" -Gene ( 01/27/09 )
"So, I've been a patient here since I could possibly remember even get my eyes checked out. Dr. Lim is an AWESOME optometrist who is very helpful. I have very difficult eyes that are extremely dry, and I was looking for contacts that would work with my eyes, and there were NO lenses that I was feeling comfortable with; They went dry and gave me a headache after 5 minutes of wearing them. He didn't stop searching for lenses until I was satisfied, and he did a great job. Not only that but the staff there are totally AWESOME!!!" -Jennifer ( 01/13/09)
"I think the selection of frame types has expanded over the years which is excellent. Dr. Lim is very personable and always seems genuinely concerned and curious about eye health care which keeps him currently informed and an informative asset to his patients. Adore him." -Courtenay ( 12/05/08)
