Meet the Staff

Judy's wide breadth of experience in the optical industry spans over 11 years.  She has been working with Dr. Takeda for over 7 years now and currently manages both Lakewood Optometry and Pacific Eye Care.  What she loves most about her job is being able to interact with patients on a daily basis and establishing long-term relationships with them.  She derives a great deal of satisfaction in helping each person look and see their best!  Providing excellent customer care is her primary goal. Judy is fluent in both English and Vietnamese.  

When she isn't working, Auntie Judy loves spending time with her nieces and nephews, all 8 of them!

Clint has been with Dr. Takeda at Lakewood Optometry since March of 2021. Prior to that, he worked as an Optometric Technician for over 7 years in his hometown of Juneau, Alaska. Clint moved to California from Alaska to escape the rain, and continue his education in hopes of one day becoming an Optometrist himself. Having a passion for working with people has helped Clint build long lasting professional relationships with patients, and provide the highest quality of care.

In his spare time, Clint enjoys gaming, spending time with his dog, skiing, going to the beach, and taking in all that beautiful southern California weather has to offer!

Oscar joined the office in May 2024 with 7 years of optical experience. What he enjoys most about being an optician is getting to know each patient. He makes an effort to fit each patient in a frame according to their needs with the latest frame styles. He is currently on the path to become an optometrist!

When Oscar is not working his very best at Lakewood Optometry, he spends his free time mountain biking and traveling with his family. Fun fact, he shares the same birthday with 6 of his family members!

Ryan previously worked as part of the optical staff at Costco, where he enjoyed providing excellent patient care and building lasting relationships with them. He takes pride in creating a welcoming environment, ensuring each visit is both informative and enjoyable. Ryan believes that strong connections with clients lead to better experiences and outcomes in their eye care journey.

In his spare time, Ryan is a big fan of video games and loves exploring new restaurants as a foodie. He also has a soft spot for Disneyland, where he can unwind and enjoy the magic. 

After a brief stint in substitute teaching, Larissa has returned to what she loves best - helping patients select glasses that match their personal style. Larissa thinks glasses serve more than just a function, and can also be a fun accessory or statement piece. She likes a pop of color and fun designs. 

When not in the office, Larissa likes to people watch at Knott's Berry Farm with her teenage daughter. She's also a big fan of Halloween and attends spooky events all year round.
