The WORST service ever. I had Initially scheduled my appointment here due to great reviews. Dr. Matocha was okay but his staff made everything so much worse. Consult and exam went great but at the end, Dr. Matocha asked to see my previous prescription and I pulled up exactly what my other doctor had prescribed but apparently that was not good enough. He asked me to go home and confirm what was on my contacts box. I had asked him if it would take like a week to hear back from them and he told me it would just be a couple days to get the trial. I had called back the next day and called multiple times

Dr. Matocha and his staff have taken care of my family's and my vision needs for many years. Their personal service cannot be any better. I highly recommend them to anyone for your eye care needs. We now live off the island, but the trip to Galveston is still worth it to get the care and attention they provide.

We have been going to Ullman and Matocha for over 20 years, and are very pleased to have the consistency of the same optometrist, the high level of service and expertise. When I had an occular issue I was very grateful to have someone familiar whose advice and guidance was accurate and top notch. I appreciate being able to stop in to have glasses adjusted or repaired by courteous staff on the Island.

This place is AMAZING!!!! I'm from out of town and lost my glasses in the ocean. I can't see beyond 2 feet without them. Thank God I found this place I had my glasses in less than 2 hours! Veronica is extremely helpful and they were all very friendly.

I’ve been going here for the last 4 years or so, and it’s always the best experience when I leave that office.
The staff is super friendly, and Dr. Matocha is the best eye doctor I’ve ever had, and I say this because he actually cares and even goes as far to help you find the best design glasses for you! He actually picked out my last pair I purchased and it’s like he knew my style.
If you want a comfortable, positive, and overall grand eye doctor experience, I recommend Dr. Matocha 150%.

Dr. Matocha and his staff are amazing people! The service they provide is absolutely the best all around! I was new to the area and was starting things out on my own and I wasn’t sure about the insurance lingo and the front desk receptionist explained everything to me in detailed and helped me so much, she had so much patiences with me and taught me so much, she went above and beyond to help me get seen. Dr. Matocha exceeded my exceptions as an optometrist, he addressed all my concerns and he took such good care of my eyes when I had an infection and he conducted detailed follow up to make sure

Dr. Matocha provides excellent service in a friendly, relaxed manner. I always feel comfortable with the amount of time he spends answering questions and concerns. In today’s medical profession, that is one of my highest compliments. His staff is friendly and helpful, and going to the office is always an enjoyable experience.

I was visiting Galveston for a couple days and forgot to pack my contacts. The kind people at this office saved the day and let me pick up enough contacts to get me through my trip! Thank you!!! You saved my family from a grumpy mom wearing glasses.
