I’m a new patient here and had the best experience. Dr. Hamamoto is so knowledge and warm. Very different than other doctors/optometrists I’ve been to. She thoroughly explains everything she’s doing and why she’s doing it. You can just tell she loves what she does.

I’ve been going to lifetime optometric for two years now, and I am very happy that I switched to them. Their staff is great at what they do and very friendly. They use the most amazing cutting edge technology to help provide the ultimate in eye care. They have amazing selection in their frame department and the service after getting several pairs of glasses has been top notch. (I couldn’t get used to my new lenses last year and they remade the glasses until I was happy with them). The final kicker, they make Maui Jim sunglasses with my Rx and they are amazing!

Excellent is the word I’d use to describe my experience. The staff is very professional and Dr Yamamoto is so nice and down to earth and very professional. She answered all of my questions and explained everything in detail. If you need an eye examination and glasses I highly recommend Lifetime Optometric.

I have been a patient of Lifetime for 35+ years. Everyone has been professional, courteous and respectful. I had great conversations with Dr Hayashi who is now retired. My doctor of choice is Dr Hamamoto who was recommended because of her sense of humor. Staff have always accommodated my need for adjustments and let me know upfront of my costs for glasses/frames. Yes, I could have gone elsewhere but I value their service.

Very caring and compassionate staff. Latest equipment and quick service. With Covid 19 still around I was hesitant and nervous to go- but all was sanitary and I saw staff spraying disinfectant every time someone left a chair. My temperature was taken and I had previously taken my own O2 level. I’m VERY careful. Good job!

Love Lifetime optometric! Greeted with a smile and everyone is so friendly. My Dr explained everything and explained each step. I purchased sunglasses and the gal (sorry!!!! Wish I remembered her name! Sophia??) was So patient as I looked! She was the one who suggested the sunglasses (Tom Ford!) I finally bought. Not only that, but she checked on some other frames I had seen about 6 months ago. Unfortunately they were discontinued-but wow! She checked with the company. I did not ask her to. Great experience!

I couldnt be more impressed with Lifetime Optometric. I had my first appointment as a new patient and my experience was superb from start to finish. I was greeted warmly and checked in upon arrival. I made it through the not-so-fun eye puff test with ease thanks to the assistant. Dr. Recalde was so great and thoroughly ensured my prescription was correct. Deanna was so helpful and explained everything as well as helped me pick out some cute frames. I am very pleased and would absolutely recommend Lifetime Optometric.

Without a doubt, one of the very best places to go and get a complete eye checkup. I say this not only because everyone does a complete, thorough and professional job, but the entire office is extremely friendly and gracious!! I kept thanking everyone how comfortable they made me feel, how friendly and kind they were, and most important to me...is that I left smiling, happy by the way I was treated, and wanting to go back and see everyone again because they all made me feel like I was their best patient! BTW, I noticed how they treated others, and it wasnt any different!! You guys are the best!! Gene Hansen January 9, 2019.

Lifetime Optometric is simply fantastic. The staff show nothing but pure professionalism upon entry into their office. Dr. Hamamoto is Simply the Best. My family has been coming to her for years from at least two and a half hours away. They have never steered us wrong and they have always show the natural caring interest in our welfare as far as our eyesight. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a optometrist.

Review β„–67

I recently moved to Fresno and went to Lifetime Optometric based on the good reviews I found, and I wasnt disappointed. I had a 9:30 appointment and was taken to the back after sitting for only a couple minutes. A wonderfully pleasant young lady (Stacey) did some standard tests and then took me to a room where the doctor would perform the remainder of the exam process. Dr Hamamoto came in literally within about a minute. She was SUPER nice and did an excellent job of explaining things, walking me through some images they took, etc. She didnt seem hurried and did an exceptional job of answering my questions. She then took me out and introduced me to a lady who gave me a financial breakdown of what my insurance covered, helped me choose frames, make a payment, etc. Overall it was a pleasantly quick yet thorough experience, and I will definitely be returning again. There were a lot of happy, smiling faces there, which I really appreciated.

I absolutely love Dr. Hamamoto and the services that I have received in her office for several years now. Everyone is very friendly, kind and courteous with the services provided and helpful with making decisions with my eye care and glasses. I appreciate Dr. Hamamoto’s time and attention to detail. She is such a wonderful Optometrist and I enjoy seeing her each year to review my eye health and needs. She is incredibly caring and I’m so grateful to have her as my doctor. I highly recommend her and the services provided in her office.

Review β„–73

Dr. Hamamoto is very thorough & explains all procedures that were done. She covers all possible problems that can be diagnosed via the eye examination & reassured me as a client that everything was doing well. I have been seeing Debbie, the optician, for years & she is very knowledgeable about what I like with regards to my glasses & style. Plus she knows how I like my lenses & notifies me about any deals that are happening. She explains thoroughly what my insurance covers & breaks down the additional expenses so I can make a decision based on what I can afford without feeling pressured to make a choice one way or another. I told Debbie last year that if she retires, I will have to find someone else as good as she is as she is very personable & never makes you feel rushed. Both are very competent in there jobs & really pay attention to the clients needs which I appreciate.

I highly recommend Margie Recalde OD, as she was kind, professional and detailed oriented. She discovered things about my eyes that will need future monitoring. The glasses she prescribed immediately accommodated my eyes, and I felt no strain. They were perfect. Her staff is courteous and organized and the office decor is soothing. I found this office by her past google reviews and now I would like to give her an A+.

From Christain taking the call & following up quickly to book the appointment/verify insurance to the friendly intake process, it went great. I was seen as soon as I finished the paperwork & was with the Dr in no time. When selecting glasses (regular and sun), they opened up all cases for me to browse and compare. They were upfront with insurance/pricing as well as helping with FSA questions. Excited to get my glasses in and would happily go back! Very thorough & customer oriented.

Review β„–86

I specifically came here because I wanted/needed alternative glasses that would fit my face. I dont have a big nose bridge. In the past few years I went to different eye professionals who have treated me well. But I never was happy with my selection of eye wear. I decided to try Lifetime Optometric for my eye exam and purchase of eye wear. No issues with my eye exam, felt welcomed. They had a good amount of plastic frames that fit and looked well on me. The eye technician was fairly new and took awhile to ring my total. She was very nice and friendly and I was ok with it. I wanted the total to be accurate. I cant wait to receive my new pair of glasses and especially looking forward of them not slipping off my face. Would like more selection of the TC Charton brand, since thats the brand that fit me the best. I will definitely keep coming back
