Dr. Jennifer Chau
Optometrist
Dr. Chau was born and raised in sunny California and always knew that she wanted to be in healthcare. In the 4th grade, she received her first pair of glasses, and it completely changed her life. It was then that she realized she wanted to be an optometrist and help others see the way her doctor helped her. After enduring six years of east coast winters, it was time for her to move back to the sun. Her husband convinced her to settle down in Scottsdale, where she enjoys relaxing and hiking with her three dogs.

I scheduled a last-minute appointment about a month ago, and the staff was incredibly quick and accommodating—got me in the same day! Dr. Kalynn Egea was extremely efficient, professional, and precise with my exam. She nailed my prescription perfectly, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The whole experience was smooth, and I left feeling very confident in my care. On top of that, they accept VSP, which made it even better. 10/10 would highly recommend Dr. Egea and this location!

Felt VIP, from the check-in, to the exam, to the selection of Contacts and Glasses. I'm old enough to have used many places for exams etc. over many years, and this was truly a great experience.

Dr. Coffman was wonderful. She was friendly, knowledgeable, efficient without rushing, and all around great doctor. Jason was great helping me find the perfect glasses, measuring for my progressives, explaining all charges and checking us out. I was initially a bit hesitant going to an eye doctor within Target, but I am so happy I did. I have gone back and I have told all my friends and co-workers how great it is here. Great experience.

Exceptional care! All of the staff were kind, patient and helpful. The doctor did great job explaining my results. She answered all of my questions and gave me recommendations for both short term and long term eye health and treatment! It was a lovely experience. I also loved the advanced technology and that I didn’t have to have my eyes dilated at this time.
