Updated 5/22 - 3:44 PM Received a phone call from Anisa (sp?) at OVC clarifying what the issue was (my glasses were shipped to my insurance companys lab rather than to the one OVC typically uses). VSP said theyll either ship my glasses to OVC tomorrow or Wednesday. *fingers AND toes crossed* Really appreciate OVCs follow-up! Staying tuned... (Will definitely update once I finally get a hold of the glasses I ordered about a month ago) I went in for a midday appointment on Thursday, April 27th and was told my frames would take two weeks - sweet! On Tuesday, May 9th I get the following text message: "Your Glasses / Contact lens have been delayed. Once they have arrived and and passed QA, we will send you another text for pick-up. Thank you!" I get that things happen, but I responded with a question about when the new ETA might be. Half an hour later this message pops up: "Your Glasses / Contact Lens have been delayed. The ETA is 5/22 Once they have arrived and and passed QA, we will send you another txt for pick-up. Thank you!" The following Tuesday, May 16th I get yet another one of these messages: "Your Glasses / Contact lens have been delayed. Once they have arrived and and passed QA, we will send you another text for pick-up. Thank you!" Wondering whether this was just a general reminder of the delay, or a new message that might mean Id have to wait past May 22nd, I asked for clarification. To which I received the following response: Again, I know that things happen, especially since OVC doesnt make lenses in-house, but Id really appreciate knowing a new ETA and/or what is causing the hold-up. *crosses fingers*

Good day; I have been a customer of Oakland vision center since the late 80s when it was run by doctor grandona; he was a superb eye doctor and very caring and friendly. since that first visit i was taken by the proffesionalism of the staff. My eyes are very important to me and though doctor grandona retired later on, doctor gill came onboard and the quality of atrention to the customers never dimished but was enhanced with time. doctor Gill is a superb physician with great sense of medical care for customers. i will continue to go there for as long as i can cnmute between Reno and Oakland. i used to live in san francisco, then, things in life took me to nevada but i never wanted to give up going to OVC for my eyes care, is a win-win for everybody and anybody!!!

Warning - you will have to reply to constant compliments on your new glasses! Friendly staff that help you look through their fun selection of frames. Before you know it, you will be on your way to a whole new look or update your usual style. Oakland Vision Center carries the latest technology in progressive lenses too. Check out their eye products -the eyewash is great --keeps the itchy allergy eyes in check without chemicals. Dr. Gill puts you at ease and provides good advice to keep your eyes in the best shape possible. Efficient online/text appointment reminders, convenient location next to BART!

Very seldom does one run into a business practice that can be deemed excellent. Oakland Vision Center is an exception. The receptionist, office staff and opticians were all very courteous and displayed excellent professionalism. Dr. Gill demonstrated not only friendliness and graciousness, but a high degree of professional knowledge that I felt comfortable in knowing that I was receiving first rate service tailored to meet my needs. I would highly recommend this optometry office.

I have been a patient at OVC for over 10 years. Ive seen doctors come and go. I was so pleased to learn that Dr. Gill was the nee owner. Since then she is my one stop shop for eye care. She treats my dry eyes, my glaucoma, and just overall eye wellness. The eyeglass selection is fantastic and her product for make-up removal and eye/facial cleanser is GREAT!!! The staff is phenomenal and informative. Keep up the great work....

Going to the eye doctor can be such a bore. This office made it fun with the friendly & relaxed atmosphere. The staff puts you at ease with each step you go through. The doctors are so great with their caring & gentle ways of explaining their treatment plans for you.

Such great service- all around! Receptionist was respectful, to the point, and cool. Emily, the optician was freaking phenomenal! I brought in these vintage frames I was trying to get new lenses in, and off the bat, she knew what type of frames they were, and even gave experienced suggestions on customizing my order. Cant be happier with the help. :)

Dr. Tanya Gill is an extraordinary Eye Specialist. Not only is she great with normal eyes but she really knows all about problem eye diseases and the best treatments. Both my wife and I use her and in my 90 years of going to eye Doctors she is the very best. I have glaucoma and she has the best equipment to help her evaluate it.

Everyone there is friendly and helpful! Dr. Gill is super efficient and good at what she does and also happy to slow down and explain all the details to an eye appointment noob. Also, Amanda was super helpful with narrowing down my frame choices without rushing any decisions. Highly recommended!

I was late to my appointment (got locked out of the apartment) and OVC was kind enough to accommodate me and still take me in, even though it was after their normal work hours. Super friendly staff and Dr. Gill was a great doctor!

Dr. Gill is great! She gave me new strategies for making my itchy, dry eyes more bearable during allergy season. Oakland Vision Center prices are also very reasonable for anyone without vision health insurance coverage.
