From the start Nancy and Ross were so patient with me. They really took the time to help me and made me feel important. They listened to what I was going through and worked with me closely on my recovery. Even though my symptoms made it hard to get to appointments on time I always looked forward to my visits every week. I can't thank Nancy and Ross enough for everything they've done for me. They care about their patients and I am so grateful for the time they spent with me.

As an art lover, I think Studios on the Park is a MUST VISIT if you're ever in Paso Robles!…read more This is a large space in the downtown area, right in the main park. It is a brightly-lit, high ceiling building that has a collection of artwork (for sale!) from multiple local talents of various mediums. I went in to look, but walked out with 2 multi-media oil painting-newspaper pieces from an artist named Holly whom I even got to meet! It was incredible to get to chat with her about what inspired her to create this kind of work. Then at checkout, my eyeballs deceived me by wandering to some cool glass-blown plant stick decorations that were made from the last Disney glass blower. So, I, of course, *had* to buy a couple of those delightful beauties! Everyone I met there was friendly and welcoming; there is much to look at and much to do there; it is also a place that has many giftable items if you have a birthday or holiday coming up or need some walls to fill. If I had more time, I would have stayed and participated in the self-paced $10 watercolor painting project that was setup in the middle of the hall. Heck, I could be here all day!

I almost missed this place. Once you enter one realizes how large it is. There are several spaces…read morethat different artists or collectives of artists occupy. A great range of beautiful paintings, sculptures, and mixed media. Also some jewelry and decor. Also lots of spaces dedicated to children's and young adults' art works.

I'm happy to add my voice to the chorus praising Specs by Kyla. Great selection of frames but what…read morereally sets them apart is their customer service. I have one prosthetic eye and they helped me find the exact right combination of tint and reflectivity that I needed to obscure it and still see well with my good eye.

Hey Everyone! I just had the best experience of my life at Specs by Kyla.

Specs by Kyla is truly a step above the rest in selections and service. I highly recommend Specs by Kyla.

I was inaccurately told services weren't covered by insurance. Also, they stated not knowing the compound pharmacy information my prescription order went to or how to retrieve the medication, and then acted as if it was an inconvenience for them to find out from the doctor. They didn't know which doctor completes specific tasks such as contact lens training, so we were incorrectly scheduled with a doctor who doesn't do the training and had to reschedule much later. I asked for a school note which wasn't provided, so I had to ask again about an hour later. They also handed my young son his new eye glasses in the case and never offered to make sure they even fit him. Who does that?! Nevermind that we were never greeted while at least two staff members weren't even helping other customers, there were so many more specific examples demonstrating their level of incompetence and poor customer service. Again, save your time and patience by going elsewhere.

We have been repeat customers for years. RJ is super friendly and always remembers our details…read more The selection of glasses is amazing! They don't have just your usual bland glasses, there are a great variety of new stylish choices. Some glasses for more bold fashion (see photo) and others for hardy work wear. RJ has a knowledgeable staff and works with multiple insurance needs. We often replace lens, get sunglasses and buy new glasses for what you might spend for one pair in other places. The main thing here is RJ cares about his customers and it seems in today's culture, customer service and nice people are few and far between. Have a great experience when you go get glasses.

I feel like the customer service here has never been great…read more.. My recent experience was extremely disappointing. I felt the level of customer service was poor and the overall process left me feeling misled. No personal customer service .. Very mechanical feeling During my visit, I was informed that I would need to pay an additional $30 for an eye exam unless I agreed to have my eyes dilated, which I am unable to tolerate. I paid the fee, as I recall a similar charge from the prior year, although I was not comfortable with it and chose to remain with the office rather than switch providers. Afterward, I was asked whether I was there for glasses, even though I have only ever received contact lens services at this location. I was then informed there would be an additional charge for a contact lens prescription, which I believe was approximately $70. At that point, I urgently needed new contacts, or I would have left the appointment altogether. This raised concerns for me about the purpose and value of having insurance coverage. Also, why was I not informed prior to the visit? To add to this, the customer service throughout the visit was unprofessional and made me feel as though I had done something wrong simply by asking questions. Finally, I was concerned about sanitation practices. I did not observe or smell any cleaning or disinfecting of the equipment used during my exam. I was also left questioning whether the contact lens case provided was new or previously used. Additionally, I noticed the solution bottle handed to me did not appear to have been cleaned, and after I used it, I placed it back on the shelf myself--confirming it was not sanitized at that point. While I typically bring my own supplies, I came directly from work that day and had forgotten them One last side note... last year I ordered my contacts and they were sent to the Templeton office.. Huh? I live in SLO and go to the office there. I was made to feel like I was in the wrong. I ended up going up there and picking them up because it was going to be at least an extra week before I could get them. I'm still bewildered by that one! Overall, the experience was disappointing and has raised concerns regarding transparency, customer service, and hygiene standards.

We got my sons glasses here and I will say they arrived quickly and were perfect. 10 months later…read morea bully threw a basketball very hard (he wasn't paying attention) at my 7th graders face in gym class and the frame snapped.
