"I brought my teenage daughter and she was very happy with the doctor and staff. The office is so pretty that we felt like we were on Rodeo drive in Beverly Hills. We give this optometry office a 10."

"I have been coming to Vision First for 6 years. The great staff is always attentive, and they treat you like family. My son looks forward to this appointment all the time because of how great Dr. Bray is with children. If you're looking for stylish, brand-named frames and great service, this is the place to go. Thank you, Vision First!"

"I’ve been coming to this office for a long time. I apologize I don’t remember the previous doctor’s name before Dr. Ortega, but I was always pleased with the service. Then I saw Dr. Ortega a few times and she’s been great, and my most recent visit I saw Dr. Nuccio (he introduced himself as Ed). He is a great addition to this already wonderful office. He’s professional and personable. Great staff, always happy with my service."

"I recently moved from Fresno, so I was looking for a good optometry service here in Modesto. I want to start with how well-managed the facility was; I'm so impressed with the sanitation. Everyone there had a positive attitude and a very good ambiance. I recommend it 100% to people in Modesto looking for excellent service."

"Great office very clean and modern. They should put a sign with the office name outside though. It just says optometry outside.Dr and staff were very nice! The glasses are a little pricey but I guess they would be most of them are name brand. Took about 10 days for me to get my new glasses and I love them."
Christina
"Absolutely the most fantastic Optometrist I have ever seen. The office is spotless, modern and comfortable. Staff is great, frames are bottomless, and they have sunglasses. Well worth the drive from all the way across town, would never go anywhere else."
