I had a wonderful visit with Dr. Poling. However, when I went to order my glasses, it was an…read moreentirely different experience. The optical tech helped me pick out a pair of sunglasses. I chose a pair of Costas. They were very expensive, but I was excited to invest in a nice pair of sunglasses. After I was fitted for them, I went back several weeks later to pick them up. I had ordered progressive lenses so that I could read and see far away. The transition of closer to far away was not good, and I could not see to read at all with them. The tech was very nice and said that she would order a new pair and have the lenses adjusted. When I went back the second time, then I could see to read, but could not see far away. The tech became very frustrated and walked away when I told her that I still could not see. She sent a different tech over to help me who said they would refund me for my glasses. I told her that I didn't want to be refunded, I just wanted to be able to see clearly out of the glasses that I was paying so much money for. She escorted me to the front, and I asked her why she was not offering me other alternatives for glasses that might work better with progressive lenses. She was dismissive and told me that she could not help me. If there are certain styles of glasses that do not work with progressive lenses, I should've been told that up front. I also expected a much higher level of customer service to try and find a pair that would work for me. I felt blamed, dismissed, and disrespected. I will not be going back. I called a few days later to speak to the office manager to share my experience and no one returned my call.

The staff was so friendly from the moment I walked in and I loved the vibe - the glasses are displayed so beautifully and I love the antique furniture and numerous plants throughout the space. It seems like they have so many frame options from brands I've never seen before and at reasonable prices. They have parking around back but I found street parking less than a block away. My eye exam was quick but thorough. Whether you need glasses/contacts/or an exam, I recommend Carytown Optical!

I returned to have both pair of glasses rechecked and adjusted many times to no avail. Finally I asked to be refunded, but instead they " pleaded" to let them remake one set of lenses, which they did. This week I noticed a crack in the right lense near the hinge area. I visited today to inquire about thei manufacturer's warranty. I was told if could happen if I wore them outside in the sunlight. That's completely unacceptable! I have been wearing corrective lenses for 50+ years and I've never heard that one before. I was told they wouldn't do anything for me. I suggest you try shopping somewhere else for your eye care products.

I've been seeing Dr. Jennifer Bergvall for the past few years, and she is personable and knowledgeable. They take insurance, but you can also spend extra for the fancier/more in-depth exam option. I do that every couple of years just to be safe. They are generally friendly, easy to book with, and efficient during appointment times. I'd recommend them.

Dr. Fripps is great! I found her practice last year in searching reviews of course, and even better…read morethat it was close by and convenient. It's always very easy to schedule appointments and you can literally take a visit on a lunch break, as she is efficient and honors appointment times. So much respect for doctors and practices that try their best to stay on time and respect your time as well. All of the staff are friendly, they do a great job explaining what to expect, and it's no frills billing that you pay during your appointment time. Aside from my routine eye exams, Dr. Fripps has excellent chair side manner and holds space for you to address any questions or concerns you may have with your eyes. Then not only does she make recommendations, but also tries to give 2-3 recommendations in varying price points and locations (online vs retail) for whatever budget you may be hoping to stay within. This is one of those places you almost wish you visit more than once a year or so, but it's a welcoming practice and she remembers little details about you even though visits are infrequent. Highly recommend!

Once of the worst experiences I have ever had with a medical practice of any kind. I was accused…read moreof insurance fraud because of a mistake the practice made. I was assured that I would receive a credit for an over charge and incorrect order for my prescription glasses. I am pretty sure they never went back to the insurance company to refund them the money. All of the people working there with the exception of one are just not nice people. They don't want to be helpful or take responsibility. I had asked that Dr Roffis reach out to me and explain what happened and to apologize for what happened. (There are too many things to even list here.) I am still waiting for that call. If I can prevent one person having to go through the horrible experiences that I have gone through, this will be worth it. Find another practice!
