Grant A Nakajima, OD

Best experience hands down with Dr Grant. Thank you for all your help, and from now on this is now my go to, highly recommend your next visit is here.

I confess that I am part of a group of people who enters the new year with a refreshed sense of awareness towards a tailored list of ideals that we either aim to achieve (as part of the usual-​soon-​to-​fail-​within-​months resolution) OR to embed into our much shorter list of traditions that we unfailingly complete in the right time. Having an eye exam would definitely fall into the latter.
My lady has been here each year for more than a decade and recommended that I begin doing so since my move here last year. We both don’t have a single complaint to his meticulous process of checking our eye health. In fact, we both love his professionalism, his dedication to doing things right, and especially his patience in answering our endless barrage of questions regarding each step of the way.
Despite having exceptional vision, my second visit also found and proved an issue with my eyes that he observed during the standard procedure. He noted the possibility that I may have the equivalent of a «dead pixel» (aka tiny blind spot) and asked if I would be willing to take a second test to determine if that was true. Guess what… I do have a miniscule blind spot on each side of my eye. How does that matter? Well, after my litany of questions, I knew it was something that I have to watch out for and check every few years. (After all, I can never fully comprehend — and don’t want to ever experience — how debilitating it would be to lose a good portion of my close-​to-​perfect vision).
Dr. Nakajima is professional, patient, and definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and are still deciding on an OD.

I and my family have been going to Dr. Nakajima for ~13 years. He was recommended by a number of locals, when I first moved to the Peninsula. Good service. Never had a complaint or criticism. Prices on contacts with VSP very competitive.

I have pretty weak eyes (thank you, genetics!) and having a great OD is essential to me. Dr. Grant has been my eye doctor for almost 20 years, and I trust and recommend him. His exams are very thorough, (he looks at the back of your eyeball, which I love), he keeps up with the changes in his field, and he fits me perfectly for rigid contact lenses, which have to fit well, otherwise ouch ouch.
It’s more important to me to have a Dr. that is professional and detail-​oriented rather than charismatic or chatty. With Dr. Grant you are in good hands. In fact, now that I’ve moved to the East Coast, I’m considering flying back to just to see him — I couldn’t bear be disappointed by some other eye doctor!

This OD actually tried to hurt me. Yep, it concerned the next eye Dr. I went to so much that he asked me if I had any eyeglasses made from that prescription. Never again. I wish I could give a lower rating. It mattered so much to him, that he actually send me a reminder card. Oops.

Had to find a new doctor since I moved to the area last year and was very happy with Dr Nakajima. I really felt he did a thorough job and cares that your prescription is just right, even if it takes more effort. Like someone else mentioned, he’s not the most personable, but he’s polite and you can get a smile out of him every now and then. The ladies in the office were extremely nice and helpful.

I was first referred to Dr. Nakajima by our pediatrician. My husband and I and our three teenagers all see him. He worked overtime to help my teens get used to and get the right contact lenses and sports glasses. He is thorough and knowledgeable. His staff works to make sure Anthem is on board with the timing of new eyeglasses (I guess our plan is one/​year/​patient.) This office is great.

I’ve been going here for over 10 years and never had a problem. Dr. Nakajima is very through and is office is very efficient. He seems very competent as a OD and works extremely hard to get my prescription exactly perfect. The office has a wide selection of frames, many different designers and contact lenses. Chances are if there is a particular frame you are looking for, he’s got it. The office takes the vision service plan and Dr N. understands VSP thoroughly so that you can get the most out of it.
Only draw back is Dr. Nakajima is not the warmest OD around and he really does not appreciate customers who are late, waste his time or cause a disturbance in the shop (not to say he doesn’t see kids but I’ve never any kids here). He runs a very tight ship (very particular and organized) although every time I’ve visited his office has never been busy — typically I’m the only customer there. One time long ago, I was 5 minutes late and learned the hard way this is unacceptable. But I can understand that.
My wife also goes here and really appreciates how through Dr. N is.
