    I am so glad I made the change to Dr. Shively. He is amazing! I have never been happier. Top notch service! You don't have to wait long, the staff is kind and accurate with their information. The selection of glasses is huge! Definitely check them out!

    I am surprised there are not many reviews here. We live out of town but came here because of Andrew to get new glasses for my husband. They were able to take our RX from our previous doctor. Andrew always takes his time to explain things and to make sure you get the best service when picking and getting your new glasses. We are happy that we found our new eye care office and doctor! The staff is great and the doctor always says to the clients (at least to us), something you dnt see often in other offices. Very friend staff for sure. I'll be coming here for my next pair of glasses and my next eye exam... My Husband loves his glasses!!!

    Super cute Halloween photo backdrop they have

    This has been the first time I've been in over 15 years and being disappointed in the customer…read moreservice. I always highly recommend them for being the best in Kern County hands down. Not today, tbh ever since the old staff members started retiring the service has went down. I came in to order a pair of glasses and no appointment is needed because I called ahead and also have been a long time customer I know this. I came in at 9am on a Friday and it was slow maybe myself and 1 other waiting. And I still wasn't attended to, and I only came to pick out glasses. Smh

    I have been going to this office for about 4-5 years, and I absolutely love the staff and Dr…read more Ratty. However, I had a disappointing experience today. I went in hoping to shop for glasses and arrived at 4:04 pm. The office closes at 4:45 pm. When I walked in, I wasn't greeted as usual and instead felt dismissed. When I was finally helped, the receptionist, immediately told me that I could no longer place an order and that I should have arrived by 4:00 pm to do so. I work until 4:00 pm and came as quickly as I could. I had never been informed of this policy before, and the way it was communicated felt very rude. I would have been much more understanding if the situation had been explained politely and if I had at least been invited to browse frames for a future purchase. Instead, I had to ask if I could at least look around, and I was told that no one could help me but that I could look if I wanted. The interaction made me feel like I was inconveniencing her, so I ultimately chose to leave. This experience was very upsetting because I have always had positive experiences at this office. This review does not reflect the rest of the staff or Dr. Ratty, but rather the way this situation and policy were communicated to me.

    These are the greatest glasses because Doctor Ratty knows what he's doing.

    I'm sure that someday Doctor Ratty could build me a pair of glasses just like these in a Verchi frame.

    Hello, I had a disappointing experience during my first…read morevisit as an independent adult, and haven't been in years . At check-in, I gave my insurance details (I'm double-covered). The blonde woman at the front desk asked me to sign for an Optima eye exam without clearly explaining that it was optional, and I felt pressured because they highlighted their latest equipment, and I assumed it was standard. Five days later, I learned from a family member that my deductible/copay had already been met, so I shouldn't have owed anything. When I called to inquire, another staff member told me that "a copay and deductible are separate," which came across as dismissive and made me feel foolish for asking. In reality, once the deductible is met, additional copays for covered services shouldn't apply in this way. The lack of clear communication about the optional nature of the exam and the billing left a bad taste. If patients are going to be made to feel uninformed or stupid when they question charges, I won't be returning. P.S. As a 19-year-old, I also found it strange to be recommended (and charged for) this extra exam when I've had no prior eye issues. It left me wondering why it was pushed so strongly at my age.

    The worst sevice. The sales person had no interest in helping us. I asked for help finding a pair…read morethat would support my daughter's prescription. All she said was "Well the type of glasses that will suit her prescription all over the place so I can't help her pick out a pair." Turns out she was waiting on relief for her lunch break. I guess since he wasn't going to get a commission she wasn't interested in helping. The sales person who relieved her was kind and helpful. He understood our concerns. The other person was rude and makes this establishment look bad.
