Coastal Eye Care - Long Beach Office, Seaside Office

The people at Coastal Eye Care in Astoria are extremely nice. I saw Dr. Thorsen and was very impressed. He is friendly and very knowledgeable. He did a thorough eye exam and answered all my questions. Everyone, from the front desk receptionist to the super nice tech to the doctor were friendly, patient, knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely go back for my yearly eye exam and to purchase new glasses. I highly recommend Coastal Eye Care if you need a good Optometrist.

I was referred here for a refraction by an ophthalmologist. They waited until the day of my appointment to call and tell me that they can't just do a refraction, even though I had a full exam three weeks ago. They wanted to do another full exam (and charge me for it). Also, they couldn't see me at the time we scheduled and I'd need to come later in the day.

I was already driving! I moved appointments of my own and had to use vacation time. Hugely inconvenient. This feels like a very disorganized way to do business and I will let the referring provider know how unimpressed I am. I would have been fine making the change if they had given me even 24 hours notice - which they require patients to give them.

I love having a quality, LOCAL optometrist team. When I woke in the middle of the night with shingles on my cornea, I received 24/7 care & access and made it through with VERY little vision loss. Can't ask for more!

Eye exam was first rate however the person who fitted my glasses was in a huge rush to get me to sign my credit card and get me out the door. I try only one pair of glasses.

I can't say enough good things about Coastal Eye Care! Friendly staff and knowledgeable doctors are just a start! I've enthusiastically referred others to them!

I was very pleased with the staff, the speed in which I received my glasses, and the accuracy of the fit and vision of my new specs. The experience in their office was rather comfortable and not uptight at all. I will be using them again for my future eyecare needs.

I have gone here for years for my eye care and always felt attended to and received direct answers and support for any questions or concerns. Plus-they are really friendly!

The absolute best eye care on the Peninsula! Very thorough eye exams and they are always willing to take time to explain what they are doing, your condition and answer any and all questions you have.plus you get a pair of very fancy sunglasses to wear out of the office. :

Been going to them for decades. Excellent care for the entire family (from kids to great-grand mother (96).) Never had a complaint- just positives.

Wonderful caring people, very professional and courteous. Do excellent work for their clients, if they say your glasses will be ready on Thursday, they are! I highly recommend them to my customers.

I went to coastal eye care to get my wonderful brown eyes checked and the staff was amazing. They treated me like I was their relative I was blown away by how nice they were until they blew that stuff in my eye and I fell out the chair and passed out due to stress all in all I love them and will always go back. They thought I was handsome and had dreamy eyes so 5/5 for me.

Just had an eye exam here. Everyone was very friendly. Dr. Bruce Stebel was very knowledgable. Another great experience here on the Long Beach peninsula. I am happy to have found a local place to go to that I feel comfortable at. I'm always a bit apprehensive about eye exams since I have diabetes, but they took my vision insurance and I just had to pay my copay.

Their eyeglass selection looked good and I'm going to have to go back to buy glasses there. I had my eyes dilated which makes me feel weird! The dilation went away after 2-4 hours as expected. Highly recommend this place if you have medical concerns about your eyes or need new eye glasses.

My insurance was current but because they couldn't call and verify nor would they accept a direct email from my insurance company to me saying I was covered.they refused to see me without me giving them $125.00. It was for a simple follow up for eye drops. No business from me again. Ever.

Loved my visit with you all. Thank you for helping me select the perfect glasses and for your genuine welcome to the community!

I've had many experiences with this company just wanting to make a buck any way possible. However, because if the selection of glasses I had always put up with it. However, I recently took my son to get a new contacts lens prescription. He has been wearing contacts for over 2 years. Upon completion of exam I was told I had to pay $135 cash for them to release his prescription.

Their reasoning was he needed a training. Again he has been wearing contacts for over 2 years, a training was not needed. So after charging my insurance for the exam, they also expected me to pay over another hundred dollars to actually get his prescription. I will never return or refer someone to this establishment

21st century eyecare here. Excellent customer service. Good frame selection in fashionable eyewear and people who know what that means. Speedy delivery of finished product with the little extras included. Stop looking and start looking good.

Really nice folks here. My condition required the services and skills of an ophthalmologist rather than an optometrist, but I was impressed with this clinic for what they were able to assist me with and their quality of care. Awesome front office people who are very friendly and professional. Dr. Thorsen was kind enough to see me after hours on an urgent care referral and took his time with me.

Even called after I had been sent along to hospital expressing his concern. Really good guy. Dr. Knutson, who properly diagnosed my issue and got me into the hospital right away was so sweet and kind. Very knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. Not to be inappropriate, but her outer beauty is a true inspiration to make you want to heal your eyesight as well. Gorgeous! (wink). For your optometric needs, I would recommend Coastal Eye Care in Astoria and their wonderful staff.
