Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

VERY FRIENDLY,HELPFUL. NO QUESTIONS UNANWSERED.

Dr. Dirksen was very patient and truly listened to my concerns. He explained every test he was doing with a thorough explanation of the results. Best trip I've ever had for an eye exam.

Darren, assistant with Pacific Eye was very professional, patient and friendly. He made me feel very comfortable as he had to do various eye tests. Dr. Dirksen is a really great optometrist. My husband and I have seen him since moving to San Luis Obispo 5 years ago. Dr. Dirksen is always very professional, friendly, concerned and sensitive, and patiently takes time to explain what he’s doing and gives his expertise. Thank you so very much Dr. D for your kindness and thoughtfulness, as well as to your staff.
