“This optometry is hands down my favorite Optometry spot . From the way they handle their patients, scheduling/booking, eye exams , communication , environment , selection - everything was top notch . I typically provide feedback off service , environment  & inventory , and overall , Silver Strand exceeded all areas. I was able to book an appt same day (unheard of) & my insurance was verified before I arrived which made the flow of going in and getting my daughter's exam a breeze .  The staff was warm and welcoming , the place was clean and organized , and we were seen immediately upon arrival . Once we were in , the entire routine process for a first time patient took about 30-45 min . Starting off , my daughter got photos of her eyes and the assistant was communicative , she explained her every step , which alleviated my daughters anxiety . Into the actual exam Dr.Castillo had the same kind bedside manner. After the exam was finished we sat down in the glasses try on area and looked over all the different frames options ranging from Michael Kors , Ray Ban , Coach , McAllister , etc. Frames were affordable with high end ranging $100-$220. During the invoice process , costs were broken down for easy understanding . With my PPO I paid around $65 out of pocket for exams and check up not including the frames or lenses ( all cost will vary by insurance so please do not expect to pay the same , this is just a general minimum idea of what you'd spend)  . Glasses are due to arrive within 1-2 weeks .” - Erika C
