Our Testimonials

I had a wonderful experience at See Breeze for my scleral lens fitting. Dr. Dang was very friendly and knowledgeable, and really took the time to ensure my perfect fit. I am extremely happy with the service I received, and my new contacts!

Bailey M

Dr. Dang took over this practice a few years ago… And I have been thrilled with his knowledge, friendliness and helpfulness during my yearly visits. His staff is also outgoing and friendly…. It’s a pleasure visiting this office for my yearly eye exam.
I highly recommend Dr. Dang and will continue to recommend him to my friends when the need for a great optometrist 👁👀👓🕶 arises.

Wishing you much continued success.

Deborah R

Been going to Dr. Dang for a few years now and couldn't be happier. Appointments area always on time, I'm never left waiting. Every check-up he and the staff run all the tests and analyze the results carefully. That was a life (or vision?) saver for me, because last checkup Dr. Dang noticed a potential retinal detachment and send me to a specialist right away. Long and behold it WAS a retinal detachment. The specialist said I was very fortunate that it was caught this early, usually, people don't find out until their vision already starts going out.
Thanks for spotting it Dr. Dang (=

Khang V

I ordered my glasses, I had problems with the fit. I was leaving for a 3 week trip to Europe and Jackie helped me find a new frame that my lens would fit and sent them to the lab. They were back in an hour. So I had my new glasses for my trip. I recommend See Breeze to everyone who wants great service.
