Folkers David W OD
510 S Murphy Ave,
Sunnyvale, CA

I went for my eye exam to Mr. David Folkers at 510 S Murphy Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94086. He gave me a prescription, offered to make my glasses with that prescription but I refused the offer. I then got my glasses done elsewhere with the prescription that was provided to me by David. The power did not feel right and I wrote to David asking to see me again to find out what was wrong. He refused to meet with, after my repeated asking, just chose to correspond with me via email and completely refusing to meet with me stating that "he already spent enough time with me." I still cannot wear my new glasses. I have filed a complaint with optometry board. Avoid going to this person at all cost. He is extremely unprofessional and actually does not care about anything other than getting the money from insurance.

They gave me my first pair of glasses and called them "general" I guess meaning I could use them for reading or driving etc. When I received the glasses something was not right and it never got better. They did not improve my vision and they certainly didn't work for close & far. I felt very sick when trying to get used to them and when I complained to the doctor they kept dragging me along saying "just keep trying to get used to them". At first I needed to try two weeks, then they said one month and eventually it was clear he wasn't going to be accountable. I went to get a second opinion and the second eye doctor said that the prescription was too strong and the astigmatism was reversed on Dr Folkers prescription. Glasses are supposed to make your life easier, but his prescription made me miserable for months before I went to a different doctor. He was happy to take my money and unwilling to help me improve my life.

I am a loyal customer to Dr folkers for more than 20 years. I trust him with my eyes and I find that he always is very thorough, professional, and puts me at ease. It's been an interesting journey as his patient as I have grown older and my eyes continue to change and he really explains things well to me. He's a great doctor.
