Reviews of SODO Vision Care
Kristina Sparkle Z.
Friendly, kind, helpful staff. I especially appreciated it as I needed extra assistance due to mobility issues.
It was challenging to maneuver my walker ( and myself) as it is quite cramped in the reception area, but the eye scanner staff person
(didn't catch her name) was very patient and helpful as we worked around the difficulties together.
Dr. Kim was a model of friendly efficiency and competence.
I haven't needed glasses until now, so am very pleased that I found this office as my first, and now only, eye exam place!
Vivi
I saw Dr. Kim who did my exam today. She was very informative and very patient with me! She made me feel comfortable and answered questions that I had. The whole staff was so friendly and nice. Took their time with me :) scored a deal with Costco! Yay! Accepted my insurance and overall very happy experience!
Stuart Holmes
Had such a good experience today at SODO Vision Care, Seattle. Dr Tran was super helpful and professional. The people at the optics center were helpful and efficient. Really made it a pleasant experience. The optician we had, Emily was so patient and great.
Thank you!
Danielle Havens
It was so nice to be able to schedule an appointment on my time line and soon. Every other place I called had appointments scheduled out 30 to 120 days and were substantially more expensive. My exam happened right on schedule, was both thorough and efficient and Dr. Leigh Kim was both personable and professional. I would recommend her to anyone looking for affordable and quality care.
Lin Price
My husband says Dr. Kim, makes him feel at ease & answers any questions he has. He's come here several times & has always had a good reaction to anything they've done & got glasses that work well. Highly recommend them over other doctors my wife has experienced. She will be coming here too.
Heather Jennings
I arrived 10 mins early and they were able to get me in right away, because I had already filled out my paperwork online. From the time of arrival to the time I left, only took about 12 minutes for an exam and new prescription for glasses. Staff and optometrist were efficient, friendly, and great!
Tina Cai
I went in to check a corneal abrasion after my previous optometrist told me I had pink eye which I knew wasn't the case. Dr. Tran was very kind, thorough, and informative of why my vision was blurry. He showed me pictures of what my eye looked like and advised me on next steps to recovering my vision. The rest of the staff were also professional and respectful. This place was out of my network but I wish I came here first!

Without a doubt the best optometrist I've been to in the past decade. Dr. Leigh Kim, you are a credit to your profession. I hope you read these reviews because I am extremely grateful with how you diagnosed my blurry middle-vision. And for the internet reading this review, my previous optometrist was at another Costco in another state and he was very, very good. So how do you go from a 9.5 to a 10.0? Well, that's hard to describe, but I can honestly say there was a difference. I just very much appreciated the in-depth way Dr. Kim went about describing and evaluating my past prescription and what she thought about it, and then how she went about explaining what she thought my new prescription should be. It was very exacting, I could tell the difference immediately, and I dunno... it felt very scientific (for lack of a better description). You can tell Dr. Leigh Kim knows what she's talking about. She's got a great chair-side manner and she's very articulate and explains things well. And as I'd mentioned earlier, I was unaware my middle vision had gone. I wear glasses because I'm near sighted and simply take off my glasses if I need to see anything up close or read. Problem was, sitting in front of a computer, things were blurry. I'd typically sit far away from my monitor to be able to focus with my regular glasses. Dr. Kim said I could probably use glasses for computer work and she was right. I can see again without squinting. Nothing against my previous Dr. but he'd never noticed. Can't thank you enough Dr. Kim. And also Dr. Kim has THE BEST sense of humor. Your grateful patient. - Captain Kirk

Extremely efficient and thorough: out -of-network for my insurance, so had to pay out of pocket at the visit , but they even submit the claim and my insurance will send me a check for the amount they do pay. Got an appointment within 2 days over the holidays when other locations were booking 6-10 weeks out.
diane sacks
Dr Kim was polite and extremely good at explaining everything she was doing during the exam.. She showed photos of the inside of my eye and was careful to describe what she was looking for. Lucky for me, everything was all good.
Nathan Foshee
Dr. Tran and staff are incredible. The pre-sent forms kept check in easy. We began testing immediately and I was out the door with the proper prescription in no time. Dr. Tran was extremely thorough and did an excellent job of providing all options to me instead of deciding for me. Thank you SoDo Vision!
melissa ayala
Friendly staff up front. One staff member helped me get over my fear with the machine that blows air in your eyes. It's a stupid fear, I know. Dr. Tran was extremely informative making me aware of the different options and examples. I'm excited to get my new prescription knowing I'll be able to see better!
Dominique K
I would absolutely recommend Sodo vision care! I was able to schedule my appointment less than 24 hours in advance. On the day of my appointment, I arrived 10 minutes early, I was greeted by two very friendly women, and even with being early I was able to be seen right away. I didn’t have to wait and we got straight to the pre-testing. After that was done, I was sent to wait outside for the doctor. I waited maybe three minutes and the doctor came to get me. He was very kind and very professional; he answered every single question that I had and at no point did I ever feel rushed or that he was annoyed by my questions. Everything was explained thoroughly to me. I paid for the contact lens and eyeglasses exam and I got to take home about a weeks worth of free daily wear contact lens samples to try out. Overall, I am very happy with my experience and will definitely come here again in the future or recommend others to!
Rose Rice
The eye tests and the test results were all explained thoroughly and I was given useful information about eye allergies along with samples of eye drops to use. Which I lost. The woman who helped me with new frames steered me away from a pair I had picked because of their weight which I was trying to avoid. The people working there know their stuff.
A Grigsby
Everyone was friendly, timely and thorough. I had my questions answered and was able to quickly transition out of the office and to the ordering of products. Great service today!
Joe Villarino
This was our first time at the SODO Vision Care and we had Dr. Leigh Kim who did myself and wife for our yearly eye exam inside the Costco on 4th Ave S. Dr. Kim was wonderful, very detailed and explained everything she was doing compare to other eye doctors that we seen for over 40 years. She answered all our questions and I would recommend her to all of our friends. We love her she is fantastic!
Seketha Larsson
The process of my eye exam was quick and efficient. I came in because I suspected the prescription given by a previous doctor was inaccurate. Turns out I was right, the Costco Optometrist checked my eyes and provided the correct prescription for me.
Magda García
I had a great experience. Staff were kind and helpful. Everything went smoothly. Great value for money in glasses too.
Bruce Felter
Very professional and courteous staff. Dr. Kim was very thorough and took the time to explain eye exam test results. I will continue with, and highly recommend this vision practice.
Reba Meriwood
Excellent Customer care, thorough eye exam, expert advice form the doc. Love SODO vision care and so happy Costco supports them.
Linda Elfin Sorenson
The SODO optometrist and staff were caring and absolutely brilliant! I will be changing my eye care to SODO Vision Care.
Thank you so very kindly,
Linda Elfin Sorenson
Y Oan
Dr Eric Vo is 100% customer service and satisfaction. He addresses all issues. Pleasant personality.
Roy Yeldo
I have used SODO Vision Care for my last 4 eye exams and prescription updates, for both contacts and glasses. I found the exams and fittings to be both thorough and accurate. The care and consideration of the doctors were equally well-received.
Julie Porter
I was impressed with Dr. Vo's thorough examination. He explained things clearly and was kind. I didn't feel rushed and appreciated the level of care that I received.
Lee Strom
Wonderful customer service. Also, showed me very cool internal eye imagery that really helped me understand my vision and eye health.
Juan Ramos
I brought a friend before and I liked the experience. I needed a new eye exam and it was definitely a great experience! Thank you! Always recommend with friends!
bryan parker
Great experience. In and out quickly! Dr. Tran is great and very thorough!!
Heather Larson
My daughter had a good experience. Thorough summary provided by Dr. Leigh Kim. Very efficient use of time. Recommend!
Rick Nelson
very professional, got taken care of promptly, the eye doctor was very A to B, just smoothly and quickly took me through each step.
I could tell she liked her job.
C. Cruz
Very thorough exam for $100, optomap for $30 (good bye dilation!). Excellent staff! Cheap frames $60-100 plus transitions for $100. Can't beat the value!
Johnny Violango
I had wonderful experience at SODO Vision Care. Dr. Leigh Kim was very thorough / efficient and professional what she does. I would highly recommend her.
Ken Schiele
Super efficient - The folks in the office answered all my questions ahead of time, even helped me sort out my insurance coverage before hand, as it wasn't clear. 13/10 - will go again.
Tobias Gelston
This was a great experience. 1) I was able to schedule an appointment in a short time frame - I called other local eye centers and they were booked several months in advance. 2) I walked in at the time of my appointment and was checked in and at the first eye exam machine within 5 minutes. 3) the doctor was great - very friendly and personable and he thoroughly explained everything.
Taylor Orms
Easy to book an apt. Online with little wait time due to being able to prefill the paper work online. I've been coming here for years!
Sarah Devlin
Super helpful, quick email responses, I got in right away, the doctor was friendly & informative and I had an exam and glasses ordered in under 30 minutes. I had an outstanding experience.
Suzanne Pierce
What a great experience! I’ve had dozens of eye doctors over 50 years, but never felt moved to post a review until now. SODO is great! Easy to get a reasonably-soon appointment, easy to locate and park (it’s in Costco), friendly staff, GREAT optometrist who explains everything (with visual aids, too) and really cares. It’s also affordable: $100 for a basic exam (add the $30 upgrade to get a “high-res” retinal scan that’s more effective than the old dilation method), often partly covered by insurance. (Staff figured out my insurer and made the claim for me!) Then I went next door for glasses from a vibrant, knowledgeable, fun optician (Bridget). I’ll definitely return in two years for a checkup. Go take care of your eye health at a well-run, friendly, professional office - where you can also get gas and tires 😁
Denise G Ness
Quick, convenient, polite, informative and open later for appointments. Only drawback is it is not preferred for my insurance.
Joe Hurson
Very prompt, courteous, professional care. Those are the reasons I have made this the place for my eye care over the last five years.
Randy Sampson
Let me just say this... they are an excellent vision center. But leet me vent a little too. An optometrists job is to measure my eyes and give me a prescription for them. When that line is crossed by allowing any doctor to say what brand you have to buy, there becomes the appearance of impropriety. These are MY EYES. You measure, I pick the brand. When we don't let it happen this way, companies start to give kick backs to the doctors in order to increase sales. When we let the buyer decide, the market then prices the contacts at the cheapest level. Making me pay for a second unnecessary visit that ended in exactly the same prescription took money from my pocket unnecessarily and put it in the pocket of the Optometrist. And it took away my choice. I'm not happy with this system at all. But the Doctors there, their equipment, and the whole process were fine.
Oliver M
The rude person at the front desk needs to consider finding a back office job or something. I literally have my hands on the mask, trying to put it on and the first thing she says is not hello or a greeting, but a rude "you need a mask" while I'm in the process of putting it on. Then "are you checking in?" in a bitter tone. She really doesn't fit in to the positive mood of the office there, and seems like an unhappy person. Maybe some bad life choices. The woman doing the eye exams on the machines, the doctor, and the billing person all are so nice. I guess good help is hard to find. But people with a sour attitude like the "greeter" should really stay away from the public and work in a basement or something.
Karen Ikeda
SODO Vision Care and Dr Leigh Kim were great! Easy to book eye exam appt online. They were early/on time for appt and Dr. Kim explained a lot to me. I've been to other O.D.s but have not learned as much as I did with Dr Kim about eye health and how different disorders impact your eyes. Costco also has a wide range of eyeware and they are marked (for size, material, other features) so it's much faster and easier to find a frame that will fit. Their pricing is also better. Definitely give them a try!
Ngan Yi
Dr Tran and his team are so patient with my hard of hearing father. Highly recommend this place for optical check ups.
Sara McKinstry
I have had a great experience for two years now at SODO Vision Care. They are so quick and yet thorough, explaining everything well. Great team!
Bridgett Chandler
Excellent service, efficient check-in, very knowledgeable Doctor Who is also a great teacher. I really appreciate her.
Keith Gonzales
Super fast, easy and comprehensive. Their communication game is on point as well. Overall great experience!
Garry Lund
I arrived a few minutes early, but they did my preliminary tests right away and I only had to wait a few minutes to see Dr. Kim. I came in because I noticed I have new eye floaters and was concerned about my eye health, Dr. Kim did some more exams on my eyes and compared them with similar past results. She did a great job explaining what the eye floaters were and that mine were not a result of a more serious condition, much to my relief. She also checked my vision and luckily nothing has changed since last year, so I didn’t need new glasses.
Shawn Garner
Dr Leigh Kim was efficient, knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Thanks for a great experience!
mjc
Great service and very thorough. I really liked working with Dr. Kim
Lilli Ann Carey
Very efficient service with up to date tech and friendly optician and tech assistant. I have been going to Costco for several years.
Jeannie Shu
Very efficient operation: the exam was quick but thorough with several tests done with an assistant and didn't require drops for dilation (I paid $30 extra for a retinal scan so I wouldn't be dilated but it was worth it) for my exam with the optician. The Costco optical department outside was also efficient and helpful in finding me suitable frames (although they didn't have completely rimless frames which have been my go-to's for many years and therefore had fewer options for me to try), taking measurements, and providing all the technical features to make my glasses fit my needs. This was my first experience with Costco and SODO Vision Care at the 4th Ave. S. location and I was very pleased.
November 2022 update: still very happy with the exam as the optician did determined my new lens prescription with minimal repetitions and efficient tests.
Bonnie Colpitts
My annual vision checkup was professional and followed COVID 19 safety guidelines. I appreciate knowing about the health of my eyes and, since things have not changed since last year, my glasses are good for another year. I also appreciate the caring approach. The office is convenient. Thank you.
Doctor John
The whole process from online scheduling to check-in and exam was smooth. I can see clearly now!
Eric Anderson
Quick, efficient, professional, knowledgeable, cost-effective. Medical care at its efficient best.
Paul Croon
Great staff. Great optometrists! I love their new retina scan machine--Optimus. Very professional, courteous, and friendly staff! Doctors are wonderful! So very professional and friendly! They addressed all my concerns and consistently hit my scripts perfectly! They are very fast, yet very thorough.
Justin Wen
We were slightly late to our appointment and initially had to reschedule with the front desk. Dr. Eric Vo made an exception and allowed us to keep our appointment if we were willing to wait 15 minutes while he finished with his current patient. I am so thankful for him being flexible and working us into his schedule.
Melania Duarte-Sanchez
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Efficient exam process.
Kristine Springer
Dr. Leigh Kim was great! She took the time to show me the pictures of the back of my eye and explain age-related changes in my vision. She also let me know there are newer (and less expensive) contact technologies out that I should try after years with the same brand. Thank you SODO Vision Care! I'll be back next year.
Allison Buchholtz-Au
Quick, efficient, and pleasant! I love that I can book appointments online and the staff are really helpful- easily explaining what they're doing, what it means, and offering the chance to ask any questions. I also love that they're not pushy about getting you to buy hardware or contacts through the store. Would recommend!
Ulysses Wallace Jr
The best service I've had in a long time. The office staff was pleasant and efficient. The doctor explained everything clearly. The ladies at the glasses station was very helpful and efficient also. They explained what coverage I had and the best way to maximize it. Will be back here for my next exam.
Claire Conroy
We were greated awesomely and no waiting the young girl was quick attentively friendlyand very knowledgeable. Our appointment started right on time. Dr. Was very friendly warm and I felt he answered all my question with easy to understand. Great job see them next year for sure.
Thank you
Eric Steen
Support staff are friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. Dr is also and knows his stuff. He patiently and clearly directed me through the examination and explained his recommendation. Looking forward to my first pair of real glasses.
Tuesday King
All the staff and doctors are so helpful and professional and kind.
Evangelina Olmedo
The doctor took her time to give me the correct information and gave future medical suggestions to avoid future damage.
Holly A
Very well-organized service in an amazingly compact space. The doctor was through, personable, professional and provided clear explanations for aspects of the exam about which I had questions. All team members were equally delightful, patient and kind, thus made it an excellent experience!
Mary Berray
Dr. Vo did an excellent job of listening to my issues and explaining to me what was going on. I highly recommend him. I received a thorough exam and am feeling much better.
Jill Kurfirst
Fast appointment, clear explanations including anatomy of the eye and how it related to what they were seeing on my images, much less cost than my previous optometrist, and intelligent solution for being masked (to avoid disease spread) without fogging up prescription test equipment.
Sue and Steve
Fast, efficient, thorough and way less expensive than my optometrist.
Brian Jones
I highly recommend this Vision Care company. The doctors are quite knowledgeable and the staff are there to answer any questions that you may have
Saul Trujillo
Great Service, friendly and efficient. Totally recommended
Edgerton Newcomb
I had the best experience with Sodo, after years of being dissatisfied with other vision centers. The staff took the time to tailor my new prescriptions in a friendly, efficient manner, without pushing me through the examination just to get to the bill. Very professional, courteous, and fantastic communication about my eye health and new, clear prescriptions. A wonderful service is provided, and reasonable, too. Very highly recommend!
Montgomery Newman
Best eye care experience i have had in recent memory. My eye exam was quick and easy. Chelsea at the retail counter was so kind and helpful. She made a usually stressful situation easy and fun.
Sara Starr Poulsen
Fantastic service. I feel listened to by Dr Long. He explains things to me in a way that feels respectful and he always asks if I have any questions or concerns. I’ve never had to wait any more than a couple minutes in the waiting area in the years I’ve had my vision care in their hands. I don’t have vision coverage for my health insurance and the pricing at SODO Vision is very comfortable.
s f
Received a patient and thorough 20 min. eye exam and consultation – not necessarily what you expect in the midst of a hectic Costco environment :) I also appreciate the friendly crew of this doctor office. No complaints!
jack storms
Probably the best optometry care I've ever received, highly recommended
Vũ Khánh Vy
The staff was really friendly and professional during the check-ins and sanitize their equipments prior to the testing. The experience of eye exam with Dr. Vo was really fun and comfortable. He calmly guided me through out the eyes transition and helped me understand my eyes health and wellness better. The price was reasonable for both the exams and the experience that I had. I'd definitely recommend this place and Dr. Vo for anyone who want to get eye exams.
Rob Moore
Very easy, efficient staff from scheduling to actual appointment. Tests were easy and Doctor was very thorough and explained results clearly.
Have used this location since 2004 and will continue.
Lillian Thornton
The experiences was great! Much better than other eye services. The waiting minimal but I still received an apology which was very professional. The doctor showed me a picture of the health of my eyes and explained everything in layman term which made it easier to make the right decisions. The cost was cover by insurance but I would glad pay out of pocket for such great services. Check in was a breeze and appointment request was painless. They waived my fee when I forgot to show up for my first appointment. I should not made my appointment after the weekend because by Monday I forgot completely about it.
Kathy Yasi
I had an excellent experience at the Costco eye doctor yesterday.
Michael McInnis
Quick and courteous service. Very helpful staff.
Steven Levy
Friendly, easy, fast, and Dr. Kim is great to work with.
rusalka606 Yulia
I came to check on the timing when can I get an appointment and actually had an appointment available right away. Everyone was very efficient and friendly. My appointments went smoothly and fast. Very happy I went there.
Beverly Ward
efficient, helpful, issues addressed directly, good communication
strat plan
The optometrist who checked my eyes was excellent. He answered all my questions, gave good advice and thoroughly checked my eyes. He was straightforward and professional, but also friendly.
Jim Jacobsen
Dr Kim and the staff were excellent. Dr. Kim took her time to explain everything I asked in detail and even things I didn't ask. I appreciated the fact she didn't make me feel like I had to be in and out. Thanks again.
Jim J
Brad Kelln
Excellent service. All members of the staff were very prompt, efficient and knowledgeable. The entire process of my eye examination took less than half an hour from the time I walked into the office. I will certainly be coming back.
Wilson Deng
Dr. Alex Long was excellent. He walked me through my exam with detail and even shared with me the 'why' and 'what's that were important to eye care. I felt definitely felt like a priority patient.
Chak Ng
It's a very efficient operation albeit a no-frill operation. (No fancy waiting room or out of date magazines.) It was very easy to get an appointment online. The front office staff was pleasant and efficient. I was the first patient of the day and was seen within five minutes of registering. Dr Tran who saw had a pleasant bedside manner and seemed to know what he was doing. My visit was pleasant and brief.
Jbb Ccj
Excellent experience with my eye exam (for multi-focal contacts, included the Optomap screening) at SODO Vision Care located inside the SODO Costco. Dr. Kim and the staff were extremely courteous and professional, explaining all the procedures (and why they are done) and answering all my questions. Thanks for the great experience!
David Newman
Very efficient scheduling process. Where other providers (West Seattle Optix, for example) have cut back access, SODO Vision Care won me over by their rapid access. Service was also fantastic, thanks Dr. Kim! and everyone else!
Brittany Paul
I had a great experience with Dr. Kim for my eye exam. She was very thorough with the exam, it didn’t feel rushed as I feel with some Doctors. She answered all my questions, although I didn’t have many because she discussed everything prior. I will definitely be coming back for future visits. The ladies checking me in and out with kind as well.
Lisa Sato
I had gone to the Issaquah eye center in Costco when I lived on the Eastside, but when I moved to Seattle, I wasn’t sure where to go so I went to one that was a “preferred” provider for my health insurance. Hated it and this time, I decided to try the SODO eye care center. Loved it. Nice staff, efficient, nice doctors, clean office, and even though I was early, they saw me right away! I think I’ve found my eye care team!
Chrysta Torres
My exam was super fast and thorough. I loved the efficiency without feeling rushed. Dr. Kim explained everything she was doing in a really simple and clear way. I will definitely be back for my next exam.
Andrea Hofer
Love the Dr! Super smart and easy to talk to.
Jaffer Barlas
I went for an exam to renew my contacts prescription. It was efficient and easy. The doctor was knowledgeable and worked quickly. I had plenty of time for a Costco shopping trip afterward!
Cynthia Keith
Very good experience at SODO Vision Care today! Scheduling was easy, I used their online system but their staff is good about actually answering the phone. Easy online forms to fill out if you want to do it ahead of time. Pleasant check in, and the entire support staff is very courteous! Dr. Long was very professional and attentive. Overall a very positive experience, highly recommended.
Michael Jurich
Friendly staff and appreciated the Dr. answering all my questions thoroughly. Having the eye scan was very reassuring and amazing technology.
Sandy Levy
The optometrist was very efficient and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the visit.
Adrienne Query-Fiss
Dr. Tran was wonderful and all the staff are patient and kind.
Sarah Welch
The clinic was very efficient and following COVID protocols. Their screening system is great and avoids eye dilation which is great. The Dr. was communicative and helpful. What more could I have asked for?
rain mutt
The office promptly opened on time. I was greeted with friendly / professional staff.
The review of my exam was complete, succinct and I had few questions to ask.
Cheryl Dillinger
Kind.. Friendly and Informative... Nice experience and would highly recommend. Great selection of frames and and affordable prices.
I love my new glasses!!
Luke Johnson
super quick and thorough, i appreciate the fact they let me come in on a weekend, as a medical professional it's hard to make time for the 8-4 appointments (as most people don't anyhow).
I also appreciate how I didn't feel any pressure to buy my next set of glasses at the affiliated store. They handed me my full prescription without me asking.
Sandr Nguyen
Everyone was super nice and patient w me 😋😌 …
Carrie Deutsch
Friendly, thorough, fast and detailed explanations. Very organized.
Buffy S
The reception folks were definitely ready for us, and cheerfully so. And, Dr. Kim was amazing. She exudes confidence and competence. She was very knowledgeable and incredibly skilled. As a person who has experienced several decades of eye exams, I was very pleased with this exam. Will definitely make a return visit.
Pavan
The Team at SODO vision care were wonderful. The exam was incredibly thorough and detailed. I know I received great care. Highly recommend!
Ryan Maloney
Efficient, professional and caring. I was in and out quick with an updated prescription along with a quality exam.
Ann Singer
Dr. Kim was very thorough and very personable. Will be back to see her again next year. Definitely recommend SODO Vision Care for an easy and pleasant eye exam experience.
Chandra Samples
Fastest most painless eye exam experience I have ever had, and I've been wearing glasses for 27 years. This latest was my second visit, which makes my first visit the 2nd most painless experience I have had. I recommend this office and staff to anyone looking for an eye exam.
Chryssa Best
I'd refer my mother-in-law (so to speak) to SODO Vision Care! My appointment started on time, was efficiently executed and the equipment was state of the art. The SODO staff were friendly, and very conscience about sanitizing between customers. The eye doctor was straightforward and explained each step as my eyes were examined. The 5 star rating is indicative of the services provided and in no way an exaggeration!
Russell Williams
Efficient and quick, while being both professional and friendly. The doctor explained each step while she was performing them, and answered all my questions thoroughly. I left with confidence that my prescription is 100 percent spot-on, and will return in a year to do it again!
Virgil Dosher
I was well taken care of, my questions answered, and both the staff in the exam office and at the eyeglass counter were very helpful.
Andy Huang
Quick and efficient exam. In and out within 30 minutes!
Christie Morrison
Very good care and very attentive to needs. The physician I saw was great and answered all of my questions. Of course after getting dilated, there was sun outside, so they provided me a pair of disposable sunglasses! Thank you! Very helpful in getting home!
My only few comments of constructive criticism:
#1. Attire in the staff. I've worked in MD offices for well over 12 years and it's nice to see staff dressed up or in a uniform. The staff was all in jeans and sweatshirts. Seemed very unprofessional.
#2. Staff space and presentation: I actually saw a staff member picking her nose as well up front.
#3. Look at people in the eyes while talking with them. I saw often the front desk not looking patients in the eyes when she was talking with them or discussing payments/receipt of prescription etc. Acknowledging patients by looking at their eyes during conversations are very important, especially in the eye business.
#4: The young lady didn't instruct me on what she was going to do during the initial eye evaluation. I would encourage all of your staff to introduce themselves and explain what they are planning on doing before implementing tests. It's important for patients to know what is being done to them, it also helps decrease anxiety.
If everyone wasn't super nice and got me in very quickly, this would have been a big turnoff.
Overall, I would recommend their practice to any friend needing an evaluation.
Peter Roman
Dr. Dennis Tran was professional, efficient and personable. Having had many eye exams over the years, I can say that I knew his exam was completely thorough, accurate and precise. Even the though the exam was very fast, I am confident in his analysis. I would not hesitate to return to his care in the future. Well done, Dennis. Good luck on reducing your golf handicap!
Peter R
Madeline Mullen
Excellent and efficient service. It didn't take very long from checkin to exit, but the exam was thorough. Staff were all friendly and pleasant.
Janet McDermott
This was my first experience at this clinic. I found that being able to complete my check-in documents online was easy and a great time saver. The staff were helpful and the doctor was agreeable, answering my variety of questions. Glad I came here for service!
Ann Lokey
Excellent experience from start to finish. I love the fact that they notify me with an email that it is time for my annual check up AND the email has a link to a page where in one click I can schedule my appointment. I wish all my providers for all my regular services, my car, my dentist, my doctors, etc, would do the same. So easy!
Karen A
Covid safety was a concern. Extremely well organized, efficient and sanitary at every step of the process of being pre-checked. Dr. Kim was quick to answer questions, explain each part of the exam and details of the results. I've been 3-4 optometrist offices in my lifetime and have never heard the detail she provided. Staff was incredibly kind and efficient.
Maggie Lyttle
Wonderful service! I emailed yesterday for a question which was answered in minutes, made an appointment last night on their convenient, easy to use website and saw the doctor today. The appointment was quick and painless and Dr. Tran was very kind and professional. Highly recommended.
Katrina Santos
They're so sweet and easy to work with! I even brought my wiggly infant who was with me during the exam and they were very accommodating. Getting my insurance handled was really fast and easy and they were so efficient!
Paula Olson
Efficient office with clear explanations. I didn't feel rushed and I was grateful that their technology did not require eye dilation.
Ryan Navarro
Consciously choosing care at a practice even though they are considered out-of-network should give you a hint to the quality of care and professionalism. They have been my preferred ophthalmologist for the last 4 years and I don’t see that changing.
Thomas Wagner
I received what I believe was a very affordable yet thorough and extensive eye exam at this practice. The staff members were friendly and I appreciated being able to book the appointment and complete my new patient intake forms online.
Lyndell Jensen
Right on time, staff was great, no problems. Will use them again
Lindsay Gatz
Amazing experience!!! I'm used to going downtown, paying for parking, waiting to see the doctor (who doesn't have current tech like SODO does). I tried SODO on a whim because I couldn't get in with my other doctor in a timely manner. I was able to book an appt the next day, and the process was flawless. The Dr was extremely nice and thorough, explaining everything about her findings, and quickly getting me (and faxing my glasses whop) my script. This is going to be my go-to eye exam place from now on.
Brianna Durand
Dr. Kim was fantastic; she educated me on my eye health and was very friendly. My appt was started in a timely fashion and all my questions were answered. I truly had a positive experience with everyone involved, from the moment I called to schedule an appt. Would definitely recommend!
Rob Smith
Everything went well for my son’s eye exam and contact lens request
PollyGirl martin
Very fast, efficient, and professional. Dr. Vo gave me more information about my eyes than a recent visit to an opthamologist. I felt well informed from the visit.
Elton Chan
Dr Kim was super Friendly and enthusiastic. It was a great experience to get my checkup done there... also super convenient with it being inside the Costco. Prompt and efficient service! They’re great with answering questions!
Katherine English
I was able to get an appointment right away and had a very thorough exam. Everyone was very pleasant and professional. I felt well taken care of during the entire time. Dr. Wu was great. Got feed back as he was testing my eyes. I was very happy with everything.
Diane Hutchinson
The staff were friendly and punctual. Dr Leigh Kim was helpful in explaining everything about my eyes and answered all my questions .
David C. Ludwig
Intuitive Appointment process. Easy medical history form to complete for new patients online. Good communication via email beforehand. Timely exam and courteous staff. Professional doctor with thorough exam. Will go back for next eye exam
Marissa Regalado
Very clean, professional, timely, and helpful. My appointment time was respected, and the exam process was easy. Very convenient to be located inside Costco, I will continue to utilize SODO Vision Care for my eye exams and questions.
Paul Liang
Dr. Leigh Kim was very professional and thorough at explaining the details and read out on my eye exam. The glasses + contact exam took <30 minutes.
Wakana Nomura
Staffs are kind and efficient and the doctor was great. She answered all of my questions and concerns. She explained further showing pictures on her monitors which was super helpful!
Franki .B
The desk was polite and efficient, they were right on time so I was not kept waiting and she gladly checked on what my co-pay would be for me. The eye doctor himself was very pleasant and also thorough and made sure that all my questions were answered. I really couldn’t think of a thing to complain about so I gave five stars.
Cindy R.
I was expecting at SODO Vision care a Costco type of experience (Long lines and rather Slow). What I got was a rather quick and thorough eye exam. The Dr. was open and very informative about the different tests being done and what was found. She answered all my questions and left me feeling like, I would definetly come back here. Thanks!!
Shirley Pasley
Very Friendly and Efficient. I appreciate all the COVID cleaning. All of my questions were answered with kindness and the Dr. asked if I was understanding all the "eye" information she was telling me. This is why I come back year after year.
koreanyoon
My appointment today was a very good one. The staff all seemed very customer service oriented! Each person was professional and friendly. :-)
Dr. Long was great and helpful and amazing! I would definitely recommend seeing him!
Gilbert Dorland
Very happy with my over-all experience. Dr Wu was helpful, informative, and knowledgeable. Much better experience than my local studio, who hid things from me on insurance, and kept up saling me. Glad I decided to go to Costco, plus was less than I was charged with insurance at studio. I will definately keep coming back. Thank you
Gerard
Professional, efficient, friendly. Dr. Leigh Kim explained the tests and results clearly. She was attentive to my queries. Highly recommended!
nigel foster
Excellent Thanks! Easy, courteous and caring!
Brian Hughes
After calling three other places, two of whom couldn’t see me for a month and one who put me on endless hold, I called Costco and got in the same day. Excellent and efficient exam, prescription was spot-on. In and out in 30 mins. Plus the price was very reasonable. I couldn’t have asked for better or quicker service.
Dazanne Porter
Very pleasant appointment. Friendly staff and detailed Doctor!
TJ White
Simple scheduling and good availability! Exams are much cheaper than other offices with the same great service! Highly recommend coming here if you don't have vision insurance!
Lorraine Thomas
Frankly, I'm still not sure if I went to the eye doctor or if I dreamt it. After I checked in the receptionist told me to have a seat. I went to the chairs and she said, "No, the one in front of the machine." The tech started my preliminary exam right away. She was charming. When she finished she said, "The doctor will be with you shortly" and the words weren't out of her mouth before the door opened and Dr. Tran called me in. I have never had such an efficient eye exam. He nailed my prescription quickly. But for all the efficiency, I didn't feel like I was being rushed. He took time to answer my questions and provided good advice. I easily spent twice as much time selecting my frames as I did with the exam. Miraculous.
Peter Schulte
The staff was efficient with some preliminary testing.
I had the one "after-work" appointment before they close at six. They gave me a minute to use the facilities, even though it was late.
Then Dr. Leigh Kim was also efficient and clear in her communication. since I recently turned 70, there's a lot going on. She did a good job identifying and explaining the conditions.
I had used Sodo Vision for my previous two pairs of glasses. I would go back again, for sure.
Meredith Carl
I just had my scheduled eye exam and like always, it went very smoothly. I have been getting my exams here for several years and have seen both Dr. Vo and Dr. Long. They and their staff are very pleasant and professional and now with Covid restrictions in place every precaution is being taken to keep you safe. I highly recommend Sodo Vision Care if you are looking for a good eye doctor.
Dan Borroff
The exam was excellent. Their technology is state of the art and the Doctor was also excellent. Plus the whole staff was as personable and professional as any office I've ever patronized.
Mary Vega-Stapleton
Dr. Tran and the office staff are very helpful and professional. Dr. Tran makes sure you understand your test results and you are comfortable with your prescription.
Three years with SODO Vision Care and my contact and eye wear prescriptions have been perfect. No adjustments, always correct the first time.
David M
This was my second time at SODO vision care at Costco on 4th Ave. in the past 4 years. Everyone is always very professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and reasonably priced. Dr. Leigh Kim is very thorough and knows her stuff! After my dilated eye exam, I purchased new glasses. Exam was $90. New frames was $190, with progressive lenses. Everyone at SODO Vision Care and at the eyeglass center was very helpful and provided great service. Highly recommend Costco for your eye care needs.
Ingri Quon
Staff was focused and professional and was very pleasant and efficient. The male eye doctor was very patient and kind with my elderly father.
Kate Johnson
I arrived a few minutes early and the got my appointment started right away (not like most doctor's offices where you have to wait and wait). Dr. Vo was very professional, thorough and helpful. Cost was very affordable. Will definitely book again.
Kevin Wildermuth
Our experience with SODO Vision Care was fantastic. Doctor Redick and his staff were very personable, knowledgeable and thorough. He explained things about our long-time vision quirks that nobody has bothered to tell us about before. Can't recommend the place highly enough!
Jana Uhrich
Moved quickly through the process with good social distancing and cleaning protocols. Doctor took the time to explain everything quickly and efficiently.
Really helpful staff at the Optical counter picking out frames too.
Ron Ross
The entire staff was great and very accommodating. Appointments were available and easy to book on line. I certainly would recommend going there to friends.
Meredith Carl
Great experience. Easy to make online appt. Office personnel pleasant and helpful. My insurance company was not on the list but the receptionist checked on it for me and found that it is an accepted provider. My doctor was on schedule and I was treated promptly.
tim ryan
I needed an eye exam and also new glasses/lenses. The optometrist was thorough, informative, showed the condition of both eyes on a screen and explained a minor normality. And he was able to answer any question I had.
Wendy (eye glass counter person) was equally professional. She offered excellent examples for my eye frames and even contacted the frames I have been using for two years. She took the time to look up my frame serial number which were still available. So I ordered the same frames! Wendy is wonderful and patient. You definitely will hame me as a customer for a LONG time.
Jim Hopkinson
Great experience start to finish. People in the office were pleasant and efficient, and the doctor was thorough, answered every one of my many questions, and gave me helpful options to help me make the right decision in terms of new contacts and glasses.
cherylcobbs
I was in and out in about 35 minutes and didn't have to have my eyes dilated because of a new optional test that they have. The $35 I paid for it was well worth the price. The optometrist was thorough and explained everything very well. I will continue to get my eye exams here.
Anita Shaffer
I came to Costco to get new glasses. Their very sharp optician Spencer discovered an error in my prescription from my ophthalmologist. Rather than having to scrap my plan for new glasses and return to my ophthalmologist's office, SODO Vision Care went above and beyond to work me in right away for an eye exam and new, correct prescription. Dr. Kim was absolutely fantastic! I felt very well-cared for!
Dominique 'Nikki' Reyes
The whole staff was hella friendly from the moment I walked in - to the moment I walked out. I was coming in as a new patient and never went to get an eye exam at a Costco, but it’s conveniently located by me and sheesh, who am I kidding ? Who doesn’t love going to Costco for literally EVERYTHING lol.
Anyway, if you can be one thing, you should be efficient. Costco hits that right on the button. Dr. Kim was the shiiiiiiiiit !!! She’s dope and made the exam go by like a breeze and explained everything in detail where it didn’t overwhelm you at the same time. Definitely see the optical team here and thank me later :)
Marcia “Snorkelqueen” B.
I loved the girl at the desk. She was great, pleasant, informative, remembered my name. She juggled 3 people in the space effortlessly and was very efficient.
Laura Jaeger
Excellent appointment with optometrist. Now I will have prescription glasses for distance, and two sets of readers.
Thanks for the great job.
Wynia Rhuby
Dr Mighty!!! She exudes competence and compassion. She was thorough and skilled in her exam and patiently answered all my questions. This is a huge improvement over the Dr. I saw there 3+ years ago. Glad to see the change.

m strecker
I cannot say enough good things about my appointment. They got me right in, the optometrist listened to me carefully and evaluated my vision efficiently. I have a bit of odd vision so I very much appreciate the time she took to listen and tailor her prescription to my needs. Thank you so much I highly recommend Sodo Vision Care!
Elise Erickson
Dr. Tran was highly professional, courteous and efficient. He treated my 95-year old father with great respect and was easy to talk to. He did an excellent job of assessing my father's eyes and prescribing new lenses.

Super friendly staff and doctors. Efficient and no pressure to buy glasses like I have experienced in every other optical office.
Richard Heyn
Thank you all for your kindness during my first visit to your office. I was treated with respect for my visual needs, and everyone I dealt with was completely professional in every way.
I would specially like to thank Dr. Kim for her diagnosis of my vision problems and didn't try to sell me a pair of glasses that I wasn't ready for.
I look forward to dealing with you all in the future as soon as I get the required work done on my eyes so I can get the glasses I need. Thank you all again.
Richard Gutierrez
Dr. Alex Longs staff where professional and courteous. They did did the per-check up paperwork and the per-exam. This allowed for Dr. Long to take care of the eye exam much faster and with less delays. The dr. addressed all my inquiries and was thorough. I did not feel rushed and I my insurance took care of the rest, now its time for me to get some new glasses with the new Rx. recommendation.
Hal Brookins
This year I had my appointment with Dr. Leigh Kim again and I couldn't be more pleased. Appointment scheduling, check-in, pre appointment procedures and were excellent. One thing I especially liked she me what she was doing and why it was needed or important. The whole team seemed like they all respected and liked each other. Audasia is the Bomb!
Thank you,

Gregory Orr
The staff who performs the pre-screening we're awesome fast and efficient. The eye doctor was totally proficient , adjusted her protocol to the needs of the patient. I was not rush when flipping between the lenses machine. She was totally awesome eye doctor. Great selection of frames and nobody can bear Costco prices on frame and lenesl. I bought 2 identical pairs with progressive lens anti scratch and darken in the sunlight plastic frames with springs for $399.00. I would be lost with Costco optometry department.
Criss ann Orton

Staff and doctor were friendly and very helpful with my questions.

No other doctor gave this much time to explain these things about my eye health before. Highly recommended.
joan vesper
Knowledgeable, efficient professionals in both phases of the vision care appointment: diagnosis and selecting/fitting frames for distance. The eye doctor took the time to check out and correct a misreading I had made on the specs of reading glasses that Costco carries.

I've seen Dr Vo for a couple years now whether I had insurance or not . He adjusted my prescription so I could wear my glasses, gave advices against surgery based on my prescription, remembers what I do & always greet patients with smiles.
He's the best optometrist I've seen! I'd recommend any of my friends and family to go see him :)
colleen browne
For the first time in a very long time, they got my vision right. Everything is so sharp and clear, I can't believe it. Now, once I get used to the progressive lenses, everything will be perfect., People were polite, I got in quickly, I highly recommend!

lenses. Costco has reopened the Vision department less than two weeks ago (after COVID-19 closure) Everything was perfect, timely, very clean and professional. The whole visit was only $90.
Don Nyberg
The service was excellent in that waiting time was less than 15 minutes and the examination of my eyes seemed thorough and the details such as a weak spot was discussed. The spare set of glasses that I always get were ready in a mattevery short period of days (ready when I came to get schedule
Phoebi Crawford

Michaela Kusumi
Dr. Vo is an excellent optometrist. He went into thorough detail to explain my eye exam and how my vision is doing. He also explained the reason for doing specific evaluations during his exam. I discovered that I was using the wrong contact solution my whole life! I was allergic to the ones I historically used, never realizing that was the cause of my irritated eyes since I don’t where contacts that often. I would definitely recommend going here for your vision care.
Linda K (lindaroo)
The doctor and the advanced equipment gave me the most thorough and satisfying eye exam I’ve ever experienced. No anxiety, no discomfort. Plus, I didn’t wait long for my appointment.

Mikayla Roberts
Very prompt and professional!! Kind and knowledgeable staff. Thank you for all your help!
Jenna Rizzo
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Dr. Vo was a very nice gentleman and took the time to explain how I might be able to get contact lenses even though I have an astigmatism. They didn’t have the particular kind of exam equipment to check something related to the medicine I take (Plaquenil can cause eye damage and must be monitored annually) but they did just fine for my purposes this time which was to get new pretty glasses. Thanks Dr. Vo and staff!
Arinna Pongrey

Dr. Vo was very good at explaining the difference in my prescription from 6 months ago to now. He also showed me clearly how to place the toric contact lenses into my eye the right way, and used the computer to draw a picture of the lenses to further show the proper position of the lenses before inserting. Throughout my visit he was very pleasant and thorough.
Thomas L & Vicky Wettengel
