I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Gaganjot Sidhu for an annual eye exam and contacts. The entire…read moretime I was doing the exam, she kept scoffing at the things I would say. Her whole demeanor was off putting. When I told her I use monthly contacts, she looked at me weird and said "I mean, if you want to keep doing monthly's with the bacteria buildup by all means" like dang my bad I've only ever used monthly's. The staff was nice tho. Overall, I will not be coming back and I highly recommend you don't either!! There are much better eyes doctors in cap hill that will actually treat you professionally and make you feel welcomed.

Not friendly, huge ego, can't take criticism. If you want the most expensive eye doctor in town…read morethis is the place. (Also rejects nearly every insurance especially those most likely to be held by the disabled or elderly and their dependents) My ears are still ringing from the anti-disability dog whistles. (It's called income source discrimination and it's a real thing companies do to make disabled individuals feel unwelcome without obviously breaking anti-discrimination laws) They get so annoyed and dodgy about insurance questions that I get the impression they wouldn't accept any insurance at all if it would guarantee they'd keep the poors out. Brett likes to claim he doesn't accept some insurance because of "the evil luxoticca monopoly". However, he doesn't accept VSP attached to children's Medicaid plans, so that's a dishonest excuse used to bury/obscure the dog whistle. Furthermore, they can't take criticism AT ALL. A quick glance at the combative responses from the owner to negative reviews on google can confirm this to anyone paying attention (but there's not many negative reviews there because including mine he somehow masks/suppresses them) I suggest Vision Plus of Ballard that accepts VSP associated with both Medicare Advantage plans for the disabled and Medicaid for the dependents of the disabled.

Stylish, affordable, convenient and efficient…read more Love the store design and layout - airy, spacious, easy to browse. Staff was friendly, professional, helpful and efficient. Staff showed me relevant frame options (narrow, low bridge) and I tried on several pairs quickly. Walked out with a new pair, paid with FSA, within 15 minutes of walking in. Beyond impressed with visit 1. Uploaded my prescription online, which was reviewed and processed by Warby within a day. This location does not offer eye exams, but Bellevue Square and Lynnwood do. Frames arrived extremely quickly - shipped within 4 business days! Packaging & unboxing experience was excellent. Stopped in today to get frames adjusted, which took less than 5 minutes - excellent 2nd visit. This honestly blew away my expectations as a first-time Warby customer (was scared of the lines/waiting experience at the University Village location) - kudos to the Cap Hill team for crushing it!

My husband lost his WB sunglasses in Florida that we bought him 2 years ago in California so we…read morewent to WB at Capitol hill. We also got him regular glasses with new prescription that we had. Initially we chose some model that he didn't like when it arrived so we came to exchange and they were understanding and no problems at all. New glasses came even quickly. We just have to stop by so they can adjust them. Thank you for good service and very helpful people that work there.
