The experience has changed the quality of my life, making me feel safer because I can see so clearly. Every day activities, like driving, are so much easier.

The entire experience was awful. I had to wait 20 minutes before the receptionist showed up. The…read morewait staff argued that they needed my medical insurance info and not my vision insurance info even though I was there for a routine eye exam that was covered by my vision insurance. Dr. Yaros isn't much better. It was my first time there and he didn't bother to introduce himself or say hello. He just went straight into doing the exam. He didn't explain what he was doing or what he was testing/looking for as he performed the exam. During the exam, he tells me to look up and he puts eyedrops in my eyes. I figured out that he's dilating my pupils but I wished he said something because driving home after the exam with dilated pupils is rather difficult. Avoid this place.

Confession time: I tried to 'cheat' on The Optical Shoppe with a new doctor for the sake of…read moreconvenience. Spoiler alert: it was not convenient, and I came running back! I've been a loyal customer here since the Dr. Finch days and the era of the incredibly cool Dave. Even though Dave has retired and his wonderful daughter Jamie now runs the business from behind the scenes, you can absolutely still feel their standards living on through the staff. I walked in fresh from my 'bad breakup' with that other place, and Lex immediately swung into action. She actually repaired my old glasses on the spot (new nose pads and a tighten-up) so I had something to wear while waiting for my order. Then she whisked me over to the contact lens specialist (I am mortified that I forgot your name--please forgive me, I promise to get it right when I pick up my order!) and then to Kim, their amazing Optician. I ended up going all in: transition lenses with new frames AND prescription sunglasses. The whole experience reminded me why I loved interacting with Dave all those years ago. Lesson learned: You can't put a price on this kind of care. This is why supporting local, family-owned businesses is so important. I'm back for good!

The front desk was…read moreso friendly and welcoming when I had come in and after verifying my vision insurance, showed me a large selection of frames. While I can't speak on Dr. Cardillo Sr., his son Dennis Cardillo Jr., an optician, helped me with the process of getting new glasses. Dennis was friendly, answered all my questions, and never rushed or pushed me into buying new glasses. My prescription is high, and so Dennis explained the different options for my glasses, including pricing. To ensure my glasses would be right, he had me try them on, marked my optical center, and measured my pupillary distance. He said it would take a week and a half for my glasses to be ready which it did (10 business days). Instead of just picking them up, I made an appointment to have them dispensed. That meant Dennis would have me try them on, and adjust them if necessary. This step I definitely appreciated. They also offer lasik evaluations. They are open Monday-Thursday only. There is street parking. 5/5.

I then met with Dr. MacArthur she was phenomenal to say the least! I never had any type of Dr ever spend as much time with me and treat me like family, as did the staff! dr.

I actually felt as if I were one of her family members and yes I'm old enough to be her mother so let's go with that. Kudos to everyone in that office!

I was a bit hesitant because we've been going to the same eye doctor for over 20 years (well, I have anyway). I was checked in and told to wait "in the back," which I never knew existed for anyone other than employees! The waiting area was clean and decently pleasant. I was called for my exam within ten minutes of sitting down, playing on my iPhone. The equipment was more up-to-date than at my former eye doctor's office, and everything just seemed brighter. Once done with the preliminaries, I was back in the waiting room. Only for five minutes, then I saw "Dr. Jody." She was cordial (not overly friendly/warm) nand we zipped through my exam quite nicely. Got bumped up a "notch" for my far vision. Oh well - aging s*cks! Back to the front waiting area. I was called within ten minutes and then ordered my new contacts. I paid with my FSA card - no problem. Now, I'm hoping my literal last pair of contacts in my eyes hold out until my newbies come in! (I'm not a fan of glasses, although I have four pair!).
