Catherine M. Chickos, OD

Truly incredible. Found my daughter had an eye condition by going above and beyond. What a huge difference Dr. Mauro Chickos has made in our lives!

I went to see Dr. Mauro at Costco last November for my first contact exam and fitting. I expressed to her that the contacts she prescribed poked my left eye pretty badly, and she said it shouldn’t feel that way but still dismissed it and said to come back another time if it continued to hurt but I should get used to it. The contact in that eye was always blurry and painful. I returned a few weeks later expressing I had given it a shot but it still hurt. She then prescribed another type, which worked better. I don’t feel the vision is great but at least it was not quite as uncomfortable. I attempted to order the lenses through Costco, but they rejected my order stating the lenses did not match my prescription. Dr. Mauro did not change my prescription in the chart. Visit #3 today was unsucc

Dr. Mauro exhibited professionalism and hospitality. It was a wonderful experience of shadowing her!

I have been seeing Dr. M. Chickos since she was Dr. Mauro working solo without an office assistant. I am pretty sure that our relationship goes back at least 15+ years when Costco first opened. She has always been kind, patient and courteous to me and worked to fit me in non-standard contact lenses that worked better than what I had used in the past. She even took the time to train me on how I could better handle and insert/remove my lenses which no other optometrist had done since fitting me for contacts. On more than a few occasions she has worked me in for an exam without an appointment. Besides just checking my vision for glasses and contacts, she alerted me to a medical problem and suggested that I see an ophthalmologist. And I did indeed need minor surgery so I appreciate her sugge

We have been to many eye Drs over the years but none more thorough than this one! She is extremely affordable yet knowledgeable and takes time to listen to concerns. Highly recommend her and Costco for affordable eye prescriptions and glasses!
