've going to Avant Garde Eye Care for about decade. I don't remember exactly how long but I do know why I go here. Dr. Stewart and his staff are always professional, kind and welcoming. The office has an excellent selection of frames and contacts. From affordable brands to designer brands like Gucci. The office has amazing paintings throughout. I don't remember any music playing because I'm usually in and out of there. I'll keep going here as long as I'm in town. read more

Never again! If you like receiving surprise bills eight months after service, this is the place for you! They are expensive, will overcharge and keep on charging! Go anywhere else! bills never stop coming! You can get the same for less anywhere else. read more

Our family has been going to Avant Garde Eye Care for 11 years. We will not go anywhere else as the level of professionalism and service has always been consistent and pleasant. Thank you, Avant Garde Eye Care team for providing phenomenal quality patient care and experience. read more

Came in as a new customer. Paying for and exam and new glasses. I had another pair that needed a simple screw. Their first response was there will be a charge for that. Haha. I was shocked. I've had this done as a complimentary service many times. read more

My husband and I are new to the area and recently became patients. We have purchased both glasses and sunglasses, which were quite costly. Today I walked in to the office and asked to have a pair of glasses tightened. There were no other patients in the office. One woman was on the phone and the other appeared to be dusting off frames. They told me that I had to pay a fee for this service. I was really astounded and I left. I will not return. The staff nor the Optometrist are friendly nor caring. Huge disappointment. I DO NOT recommend if you want thoughtful and kind staff. You will not find it here. read more

One of the things that they are good at is follow up, you get plenty of reminders and notifications about your upcoming appointments. The support staff is very friendly and helpful, Richard, my Optometrist seems very knowledgeable and most attentive as well as being very accommodating. The business is very clean and well organized. I feel with even with insurance the prices are outrages read more

The staff here is incredibly friendly and helpful! I called to verify they accepted my insurance and they not only confirmed it but also gave me a run down of what the services would cost with my insurance. When I arrived they checked me in quickly and reviewed the process. I walked around and they had a good selection of glasses. The doctor was efficient and answered all my questions. I also appreciated that they sent me the paperwork ahead of time so that I could fill it out before I arrived. They estimate my new glasses will take about two weeks and potentially sooner. Definitely recommend this team. read more

I definitely would not recommend paid almost $500 for a reading glasses through my insurance 2 months later the arm broke on it and the lens was supposed to be Progressive. They gave me the whole thing reading. I went back to see if they can fix it for me they won't do anything about it, this is the last time I'm going to this place and they were supposed to call me when it's ready 2 to 3 weeks went by nobody called. I had to go in person to check on the glasses. They told me oh yeah you they're ready we sent you a message and I did not get any messages that shows you the kind of service you're getting. read more

My family has been at this facility for a few years now. We were fine with them, though we have been to better eye doctors with more advanced technology when we were active duty living in other areas. I called to set up our annual appointments and we were told they won't see children under age 10. I explained our kids have been there without issue (my children are very well behaved) and my son's pediatrician said he needed an eye doctor appointment but they refused. When I told my pediatrician she laughed and said she has never heard of an eye doctor refusing children. We are now on the search for a different family eye doctor for our entire family. read more

I came here the end of 2022. I thought the entire process was easy. The eye doctor was very professional and answered all my questions. I would recommend this location for contacts or eye glasses. My order was filled in a timely manner. read more

Excellent service. So many beautiful frames. Love this place! Been going there for several years and I'm very comfortable there. Doctor is great and the girls are so friendly and helpful. Thank you, Amanda read more

I needed new contacts. Front office staff was fast and helpful. They fixed my old glasses (which were pretty messed up) while I was getting my eye exam. They had a box of my contacts on hand. I do recommend. read more

Made an honest mistake and missed my appointment, I called to reschedule and was put on the phone with an older lady that told me that I could not reschedule on a Saturday since I missed my Saturday appointment. (Which makes no sense.) She told me I could reschedule on another day, just not Saturday, I told her that wouldn't work because I work during the week, she said well, sorry, and hung up on me. Terrible, terrible customer service! Fortunately, there's plenty of other doctors in this area, so I was able to get an appointment same day at the eye doctor across the street. I'm actually happy I missed my appointment, who wants to deal with a rude office! read more

Dr and office staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Sandy is a gem! I was fortunate to get in last minute for an urgent medical need going on with my eye. I appreciate the thoroughness they demonstrated. read more

I definitely won't be back. I needed a simple update to my prescription as I am near sighted and thought this place looked ok since I was fairly new to the area. The whole experience was just weird.....the girls behind the counter were nice enough, but the Dr made me uncomfortable....just no personality whatsoever. He didn't make small talk or anything, but was more interested in chatting up his employees behind the counter. Ugh...to top it off I think my prescription he wrote was wrong because my new glasses gave me a headache and were blurry. SEE Eyewear double checked it and said that is the prescription he wrote. I've never had this happen before at any other optometrist. They also have a really lame and limited selection of overpriced frames. Definitely will NOT be back. UPDATE: As you can see by the defensive response of this Dr., apparently he has a "great" personality. He can't take any criticism whatsoever from any of his poor reviews. Rather than apologizing and bettering his business he'd rather badmouth his customers. There's an optometrist on every corner, so you decide! Yes they do carry those brands, but maybe one frame option from each brand! Lol. Everyone please shop around- better deals, better doctors out there. read more

Great place and great staff. Everyone is so very nice and helpful. I love the new glasses Thank you all read more

Update* I was waiting for the reply from the doctor since it seems to be his routine. As the other responses it was condescending and rude, which only validates my original comment. It also justifies how unprofessional the office is. So glad I won't be returning. He is assuming all policies were followed at the end of the visit which they were not. I was not told I may need to rerun or which day I'd like to come back to follow up. I was asked to let them know how the contacts worked and to get my prescription. He is only speculating as he was not there when this happened. But like I said above, I was looking forward to his condescending, unprofessional response, and I sure got it. PATIENTS BEWARE!! read more

I was very disappointed with Avant Garde. I ordered 2 pairs of corrective glasses (after an eye exam by Dr Stewart). It took over 2 weeks for the glasses to arrive. The prescription for one pair (readers) was totally wrong. The second pair of glasses were too big for me and constantly slid off my head (even though they were "fitted" for me). Dr Stewart did a second eye exam and changed the Rx plus I ordered a different pair of frames that wouldn't fall off my head. I had to wait over 3 weeks for the new glasses to be made. Avant Garde did the right thing by not charging for the correct frames/lenses but I find it ridiculous to have to go through this trouble and then to have to wait for such a long time to receive the glasses. I have no intention of purchasing from this company again. Wow- I am following up to the response to my review from this company. It's too bad that they are not willing to listen to constructive criticism. My complaint was with the extraordinarily long wait time to receive glasses. But I guess their response is indicative of the level of customer service provided. Buy at your own risk. read more

I expressed my service concerns first to office assistant Stephanie. She did everything but try to find a solution. I spoke with Dr. Stewart regarding my concerns. He didn't apologize or show any interest in resolving this matter. Everything I shared fell on deaf ears. I highly recommend seeking services else where. I will be sure to share my experience with everyone, so they can make an informed decision about this business. read more

So far it's okay. I have zero complaints. Great customer service, clean, quick, easy. I have brought all my 3 children here and we will see how they do. To be continued.......... read more

Very disappointed in this establishment. My daughter and I both had awful experiences. Scary news was delivered in a very insensitive manner. My daughter hasn't stopped bringing up her experience and how grumpy and pushy the doctor was. My prescription was also incorrect. Would not recommend. read more

Ordered contacts. They never called to fit them and then the glasses woman acted like it was my fault that I didn't call to see if they were there. She was extremely rude. The receptionists were the only friendly ones. Needless to say I will not be buying glasses, contacts, or anything else from them. read more

I went for an eye exam last week. Nice optometrist. Went back today at 5:15 with my wife to pick out glasses. As soon as we arrived we were told the computers shut down at 5:30 and the alarm goes on at 6:00. It was clear they did not want us there. We left. Went to a nearby eye glass store, picked out two pair of glasses, paid over $700 and left the store by 6:00. Worst customer service ever. Lost me and my family as customers. read more

Went in with a scratched on my glasses. I was abruptly told it was 2 days past the 1 year guarantee, so they couldn't help me. I accidentally scratched them over the weekend. They are closed on Mondays and Wednesday morning was as soon as I could come in. My husband has been in 4 times to have his glasses adjusted and mine have never fit right or seemed like the prescription is correct. Unfriendly and poor customer service. The optometrist exam was not thorough either. Even though it is a close location, I will not return nor recommend. read more

New to the area and needed to find an eye doctor in network. I did a little research and found Avant Garde. The staff is super friendly and the doctor was great. Office is clean and I was in an out in no time. I ordered a year supply of contact last which were ready in less than 48 hours. Would definitely recommend! read more

Unnecessarily overpriced! Bought the cheapest frames I could find and was still charged over $700. Will never pay that much for eyeglasses again. Noticed this weird film on my glasses and realized when I researched it that it's the anti-scratch coating. Interestingly enough, a lot of people are having this problem with the coating but only right after the year mark. Conveniently (for them), it had been just a couple days over a year so the lab can't even touch them. Wouldn't they know that this happens regularly?! Seems like a sham to me. Definitely shop around first. I should have just went to lens crafters. read more

The place to go at four corners near Vistancia! Fantastic selection of eye glasses, high technology, and SUPER friendly and professional staff! Dr. Stewart was engaging, and very conscientious and competent. Since my eyesight has only required cheap readers, I have never had an exam. I received a well-deserved kind lecture as to why at 64 I have never been to an eye doctor and had my eyes examined :-)He explained in layman terms what could be hidden problems that only an exam can reveal. I am a believer now! I received a prescription for reading, and the kind and professional person who provided cost options never tried to upsale - just provided all the alternatives. Lovely place all around. read more

I've been a patient since we moved here a year ago and have always had prompt and excellent service. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable; a good reflection of the doc. They have a nice selection of frames and lenses too. read more

This is the worst optometrist I have ever been to. The office staff is rude and uninviting and will not let you speak to the MD again after the visit with him. Additionally, I have VSP which this doctor takes however, he insisted on taking my medical insurance coverage as well. He performed additional tests, and said he couldn't correct my right eye. When I got glasses elsewhere on his RX they didn't correct my vision rather cause blurriness and headaches to the point I couldn't drive. I went back after a month and asked to have the MD reevaluate the RX. I was told I had to repay for an entire new visit. I also later found that this doc also billed medicare for my charges that were not approved by me other than what VSP would have covered... Medicare denied the eye visit but paid an additional 500 dollars for tests that I have no knowledge of and were not indicated on my patient information I requested. Terrible rip off doctor!! read more

Dr Stewart has been our doctor for 16 years. He is very thorough. We trust him 100%. We recommend him very highly Wayne and Louise read more

Impressed with the thorough attention to examining the condition of my eyes and finding the right contact lenses to suit my situation. For a couple of years I've visited this office for my eye care and continue to do so even though I don't live as close as I used to. read more

Great office! Fast with great customer service! Doc was cool and the staff were nice but to the point and didn't waste time!

I have to give a one star. This was our first time going here and decided this place due to the good reviews. The front desk ladies were nice but Dr. Stewart had no bedside manners. I had both my kids seen and not even a smile or friendly talk to my kids to make them feel more comfortable. He had a poker face the hold time and did not even greet us when he entered. I had a few questions at the end of the examination and he cuts me off and says "let's walk out to the front" as if he's don't talking and would like me to empty out the back room. He also gave me wrong information on a few things that I had questions about. I was going to make an appt for myself but now will not be going there and do not recommend this place. read more

Takes Dr Stewart 1 year to reply back with '' We dropped the ball'' Yes I know!! Good customer service for very long term client would be to at least reach out after staff was asked to do so by me. Never happened!! When I went to pick up contacts after this fiasco the staff wouldn't even look or speak to me let alone apologize. Seems to come from the top down. Advise to all is this happened to me after 10 years what will happen to you?? read more

Friendly staff and a great selection make this location the right place for anyone looking for new glasses and accessories.

Dr Stewart was awesome. Definitely recommend him to anyone. Gave me a lot of good information about contacts and actually listened to the problems I was having and gave recommendations that have helped out my problem. Thank you! read more

Great place to shop for new glasses. Ease of booking, friendly staff, kind Doctor! I felt like I was given a wide selection of frames to pick from, and had very little waiting time. I will be back next year! read more

Friendly, honest and straight to the point, Dr. Stewart and staff work hard to take good care of your eyes.

The staff is fantastic, easy to deal with and extremely helpful. Can't wait for them to get Maui Jim sunglasses!!

Dr. Stewart is very pleasant and professional. He takes his time and listens if I have a comment or question. I have been a patient for 3 yrs and wouldn't go anywhere else! read more
