I was able to schedule a same day appointment, walk in with a glasses prescription and walk out with contacts to try out for a very affordable price. Dr Nguyen and staff were very professional and happy to answer any questions. Would recommend to anyone looking to get contacts or a new optometrist.

He was the absolute best but the woman who took over his practice and uses his name and good reputation is the WORST, MOST ARROGANT, CONDESCENDING optometrist I've ever had the misfortune of visiting. She is overpriced as well, and opportunistically looks for ways to pad your bill. Stay away until the real Dr. Selby returns.

I would give Dr Selby 10 stars. I've been going to his office for almost 20 years, and even though I only saw him every year or so, he remembered me. He is just a great guy. So calm, and relaxing, and just plain nice. Smart guy, fair, honest. He is what you hope for in every professional, or just in every person, period. I brought my teen kids in a couple years ago, and they really liked him. When I asked them if they wanted to go to some bigger place to get glasses earlier this year, they begged me to go back to Dr Selby. That says a lot. It's super sad to see him step down, but at the same time I'm glad that he was there all those years. I will miss him. Dr Selby, I wish you the best!

Unfortunately with the retiring of Dr Selby, my almost 30 yrs of patronage of this business is is over. The days of great service and fair pricing are over. Just a suggestion to the new ownership, doubling the price of an eye examination and utilizing the name of a great eye doctor in your advertising falsely probably isn't going to keep or gain customers.

So apparently I've been going to this place since before 2007 and still will be coming with the new ownership. I was a bit shocked coming in this year that Dr.Selby will be coming in less. Dr. Nguyen was very professional and courteous. She has plans to open the practice on a wider offering for Eye Care other than just contacts and glasses. This is great, as an old business model doesn't really promote growth when you have competing businesses that are with the times. Comparing my 2007 Eye Exam costs to 2019, it has only gone up by $40 considering I had an astigmatism on both eyes this year. So in 12 years it only went up by that much. People are afraid of change and that's just it. Comparing prices to my nearby Optometrists (Rancho Bernardo/Del Sur), it's really the same. You can not get a decent $5 meal anymore people. Go to Walmart's Eye Center. I came in today after 3 weeks of trial contacts (yes they still offer trial contacts). The practice was in the tail end of a renovation and I can say it's eye opening (har har). Much brighter, a more up-to-date look and the staff is equipped with new equipment to checkout customers. I'm gonna miss old chats with Dr. Selby ever year ("Did I get married yet - No, buy a house - Same house, still doing design? - Ofcourse and Chargers - Boo!", but times change. All I can say is support local and support good service. Will be back to re-order contacts in a few months.

Our beloved Dr. Selby is no longer there, and my advice is to stay away from this place. I could trust Dr. Selby to be fair and not gouge me on on unnecessary procedures. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for Dr. Nguyen. My daughter was not only not informed of the cost of additional procedures (dilated eye exam, specifically) but she didn't even know she could opt out of it. The costs have also skyrocketed. I will also note that although Dr. Selby is not there, the receptionist still answers the phone, "Dr. Selby and Dr. Nguyen's office," which is a total misrepresentation. He's not there. He was an absolute genius and very personable, and we loved him. It's going to be hard to find a new place, but I can confidently say we will not be returning here.

Unfortunately Dr. Selby has sold his practice. Dr. Nguyen now owns and operates it. She is very good and took the time to be sure my new prescription would serve my particular needs. However, I was put off by the surprise switch of optometrists and significantly higher than listed price for my exam. It seems to be a recent change but updating the details about their business on the website should be a priority. I will miss Dr. Selby!

Fantastic man to talk to. Many of years of experience and strong knowledge and connections with specialists for LASIK or other eye surgeries. The office was easy to coordinate with as well, all around great experience.

Dr Selby and his staff are my favorite for Optometry! They're patient, personable, informative, and very willing to work with you! You don't feel rushed or pushed into anything you aren't comfortable with. They're thorough, and thoughtful. They're also speedy. It's never an issue getting an appointment or getting back contacts and glasses. I found them based on their shining Yelp reviews, and will continue to go to them even as I'm moving further away from their location. I had to add my 5-star experience for the next person who's looking for a quality doctor based on their reviews.

My all time favorite optometrist EVER! Dr Selby is kind, genuine, and loves what he does which is reflected in his manner and the way he treats his patients. I have never enjoyed eye visits more than when I come here, and after 20+ years of contacts I've been to my fair share of optometrists! I continue to come here even though I've moved twice and no longer live nearby because he is so accommodating and kind. I cannot say enough good things about him! His prices are fair even if you're paying cash, and I've always found his staff friendly and helpful.

It was such a pleasure going to Dr Selby's Office. This was the first time to visit his office and he could not of been nicer. I felt like he was a friend I had known for years, he is very reasonable. and you can tell he knows his stuff. Overall an excellent experience.

This review is way over due, but let me first off by saying Dr. Shelby is the BEST optometrist I have seen in my life and I have been wearing glasses since I was 6 and I am now 24 so I've seen many eye Doctors. My experience with him is always AMAZING he actually takes the time and really cares about his patients I always had a really hard time finding contact lenses that will work for my special eyes as he would tell me! He takes the time to educate you about your eyes and problems if you have any. After many many trials he has done is best to help me find the right contact lenses and eye glasses! On top of that I think it's very affordable since I pay out of pocket. I also love his receptionist she is so helpful and sweet and even though she is a receptionist she also keeps very attention detailed to his patients eyes and problems as well she is always been very helpful for me.

I discovered Dr. Selby when I moved back to San Diego and needed to get new contacts. His prices are extremely reasonable even without insurance which is why I went to him in the first place. Now, I come to see him because it's like catching up with an old friend. He's a very good eye doctor and you can tell he loves what he does. I only go to see him now even though I don't live in San Diego anymore. The lady at the front desk is also very kind. They will get you in and out with what you need but I always find myself staying extra long just to talk to them. I've recommended him to many people who feel the same way! Don't forget to use your check-in for $10 off any exam.
