If I could give this place fewer stars I WOULD. I made an appointment MONTHS ago for my child. I provided all necessary information that you typically expect: date of birth, insurance, etc. The moment I walked through the door with my baby, the woman at the front desk was extremely rude and immediately lectured me on not confirming the day prior. Not only that, she didn't even know who the appointment was FOR. There is only ONE non-adult in the room. I invite you to take a GUESS as to who the appointment is for. She told us my child couldn't be seen because they need more of a warning for small children. So, providing the date of birth when I originally made the appointment and saying repeatedly "this is for a BABY" when I did was not enough of a warning? 2 months isn't enough time? I have NEVER in my life been turned away because of a lack of confirmation. Why on earth would I make an appointment only to not show up? I have also never been treated so poorly at a doctor's office. I will not be coming back. To top it off, the parking situation is abysmal, there is no stroller parking despite being a facility that also caters to children, and the place itself looks dingy and dirty with party city grass and tacky golden giraffes. read more

I make an appointment via phone and was told they accept my insurance. I get there and the man in front desk looks at my insurance and says they don't take it do to the portal being down ... they should verify your insurance prior to wasting your time ... read more

This "Dr" put my eye health in danger and didn't provide the service I paid for. She also refused to give me a refund. "Dr" Espinoza gave me such a high prescription that my eyes started to cross and I had severe headaches. She gave me contact lens samples from a different brand, size, and strength than the prescription I was supposed to wear TWICE. She also lied to me and said the brand I used to wear was discontinued just so I would have to buy a more expensive brand from her. I never got a final prescription, she gave me like 4 different ones at the same time. I was always respectful and nice even when I had to take time out of my day to go back to her office so that she could correct her mistake. She never actually fixed it and seemed genuinely annoyed that I had to go back. I called to ask for a refund and left a message asking her to call me but I was completely ignored. I don't like leaving bad reviews but I feel like she disrespected me, my time, my money, and most importantly my eye health. I feel like I was scammed out of $90. read more

really the baddest place, I don't recommend this place. The doctor was very unprofessional and the vision exam was wrong and also Im waiting for more than 4 month for the glasses. read more

Great service, very nice customer service at front. Eye doctor was very nice with my son, they also have donuts and coffe at waiting area. Very professional, affordable and durable frames for kids. read more

See all

0 STARS!!! Please avoid this place!!! Keep your children out of this place!!! The "doctor" is NOT a doctor. Not professional AT ALL. Very rude and very impatient. I took my 5 year old and she wanted to dilate my child's eyes for no reason. I was charged $20 and the appointment was completely WORTHLESS!!! How can we report this place??? Please do not go there!!! read more

Dr. Espinoza is great. She made me feel very comfortable. She is very good at what she is easy to make an appointment.

No entiendo cómo siguen atendiendo en este sitio DORAL EYE CENTER 9578 NW 41 St. Miami Fl 33178 tantos comentario tan malos y no hacen nada, engañan a todos los pacientes con Medicare. Les cuento lo qué pasó con mi esposo, el se fue a medir las medidas por intermedio de Medicare o United Health y fue en Febrero cómo nunca están en la horas que indican en su página pasaron dos meses y llame y me dijeron que los lentes no estaban listos porque no había la montura que había escogido y les dije que porque no habían llamado y bueno en Abril llamamos a UNITED HEALTH y nos dijeron que ellos iban a arreglar esto y igual le dieron una porquería de montura barata que lo puedes conseguir en cualquier farmacia y nadie hizo nada . Qué pasa con esta óptica ??? No la recomiendo, lean los reviews antes de ir algún consultorio o clínica QUE RARO QUE UNITED HEALTH NO SACA DE SUS PROVEEDORES A ESA PORQUERÍA DE EYES CENTER . read more

Have called 3 times and have always been placed on hold for over 10 minutes without an answer. I guess they don't care for new business, and can only imagine how bad their customer service is if this is how they "greet" their customers. read more

Personally I've been to different vision centers and I've never had such bad service. It's taken 2 weeks and I still don't have my glasses. I asked for the status and they don't know. Asked for my money back and they can't give it to me. When I ask to speak to a manager they say they are alone with no one there which I highly doubt is true. WORST VISION CENTER DONT COME HERE read more

RUDE and arrogant front desk receptionist. Office manager needs to do better selections on their staff. Based on my experience, be FAR from this doctor office. read more

I'm giving it one star because if not it will not let me write a review. Unknowledgeable staff and that's not even the worse part. The owner, who is the doctor, is THE most unprofessional person I have ever met. I can't even call her a doctor. Rude and imappropriate. Later I realized she has several BBB complaints. Save yourself the time and aggravation. What a horrible experience. read more

AVOID BRINGING YOUR CHILDREN HERE. Rudest optometrist. Does NOT like children. So nasty, dry, and rude. Doesn't even dress professional she looked like she was going to a gym. Took our two year old due to excessive blinking and he didn't behave well so she decided to treat us bad, showed lack of empathy and emotion. Showed him a picture of a flower he didn't know and he didn't know the name (because he's two years old!). She didn't even bother changing the picture, she decided to just not do anything and send him eye drops for allergies. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL experience. This explains why she has early availability. read more

de haber leído comentarios antes no habría hecho una cita en este lugar. La Dra tiene actitud de todo lo sabe. Deje pago los lentes de mi hijo con su montura llame semanas después y me dijeron no se ordeno sus lentes porque el seguro no nos ha pagado y ese dinero se usó en la cita. Deje todo así porque el que obra mal algún día se le regresa. Pero en leyes esto es estafa .. quedaron en llamarme y nunca lo hicieron mi seguro dijo que ellos no mandaron factura es Medicaid por Dios! Crees que ellos no pagaría una cita para un Niño? read more

Stephanie and the doctor definitely made up for the other girls incompetence. We returned for the glasses when Stephanie was there and she gave us incredible service. SO MY ADVICE is this: Make sure you go on a day that everyone is in if you need anything other than picking up contacts or glasses. read more

Loved the customer service , care and catering by Dr. espinoza. I came due to an eye infection from wearing magnetic lashes. I felt secure in trusting her guidance. She gave me different colors to try on and take home! Make sure you come see Dr. Espinoza. read more

Let me start by saying that by being located in Doral the surprise was big when I got there for my first visit There is not a real reception desk, the only staff I saw works from a labtop, the waiting room is on the second floor and the equipment is old My visit was for contact lenses and glasses It was fast when done they were quick to get my deductible. I had to ask for my prescription because it was not given to me or offered to buy it there. For my contacts I was given a trial pair which's right after trying I noticed I couldn't see my phone or anything close so I called, I was toldd someone will call mee back since no one did I called the next day I was told to go at 1:00 I called to confirm and was told office was closed until 3:30 I went and without being seen and without a new trial pair my contact lenses were ordered Today I went to Costco to buy my glasses, the clerk asked do you have a prescription I said yes and after spending some time trying frames when I sat down and provided my prescription I was told they needed one signed. I called to have it fax and was told once again I needed to go to the office because they cannot fax it. Oh by the way I was asked to give a good review to mi insurance read more

Great experience i was scared coming in because dont do doctors but great service and left with a smile. They ordered my glasses before i left! Recommend to everybody! read more

Dr.Espinoza is incredible. I've been coming here since i was about 8 and i am now 23. Not only has she taken great care of my eyes, but also she is lovely to speak with at every appointment. It's rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient while providing such an amazing quality of medical care. I highly recommend becoming her patient! read more

Worst eye care in dade county! Terrible customer service. They're money hungry and will charge your insurance before they explain or give you a legible receipt! They hung up on me when I needed to speak to a manager or owner or anyone! read more

Dr. Espinoza is super cool! Very easy going and my glasses were ready in no time ! The practice is very cozy and made the visit feel more comfortable and right at home. Definitely recommend 100%. !! :) read more

If I can give them zero stars I would! I took my daughters glasses in on Jan 18 and I still don't have them. Her glasses broke so I had to get another one and I've been given the run around. It's pretty bad to feel annoyed after speaking with the today. They say my glasses will be at the Kendall office this coming Friday however I don't believe it at all as I've been told this back on February 1st. If my daughters glasses aren't there this Friday they can eat it or throw them away. I DO NOT plan on ever going back to this place again. I'm just going to get my daughters glasses and won't be returning ever. read more

Just found out the hard way that Dr Espinoza billed my insurance for contacts I never purchased from her! Grrrrrrrrr! Thank God my vision insurance customer service rep is top-notch. He's going to call Costco to verify I purchased contacts from them and then call Dr Espinoza's office to clear up the "mistake." Dr Espinoza is pleasant, but her office is horribly crowded and she seemed very annoyed that I returned and said my prescription was incorrect. I waited 1.5hrs for her to take 2min to write a new script. She simply rewrote my original contact prescription from 2yrs ago!!! QUACK! She seemed so nice. Terribly disappointed that she's a stereotypical Miami scam artist/quack doctor. :0( My daughter did receive glasses from this office and was quite pleased with them. However, the frames did not stand up to the Miami sun and the color faded after a short time. After 2mos, they looked liked they were 2yrs old. I've learned my lesson and will from here on simply go to Sears or Lens Crafters where the staff is held to some standard of ethics. I'll have to pay out of pocket and be reimbursed by my insurance, but I won't have to put up with the Miami "you have no choice but to put up with our crappy service" style of business. read more

The worst. Very upsetting. Took more than 2 months to get my eye prescription. Kept calling weekly to get my prescription and to get my new contact lenses. Kept getting the run around. Run don't walk to another optometrist. read more

My hubbie and I needed to get an annual eye exam so we decided to make an appt .. The front desk staff were very nice and helpful. Upon arrival, we were greeted and quickly seen by the doctor. She seemed very nice, took her time doing the tests and thoroughly checked our vision. Thank God I don't need glasses! I have 20/20..but my husband does. Everything went smoothly and his glasses will be ready in a week. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Lori Espinosa for over 15 years. She is the ultimate professional, extremely caring and knowledgeable. She is simply the best Eye Doctor in South Florida! read more

The Doctor and the woman at the front desk were friendly and knowledgeable through making the appointment all the way until it came to pay. During the consultation, the doctor really took the time to explain to me the issues I was having with my contact lens and helped me understand the characteristics of my eye. Looking forward to continue to get my eyes checked here! read more

Relocated from the iconic north corner of 41st ST and 107th AV across to its current and a bit hidden south 41st ST and 95th AVE, great "solotrepreneur" Dr. Espinoza made a distinction between "cookie cutter / science lab" service and warm family practice eye care. Don't expect corporate America here, expect a solid professional warm neighborhood practice. read more

This has been my go-to eye center for years. I commend their efficient service. thorough eye exam and contact service I was out less than an hour. Very professional and friendly staff If your looking for a reliable eye Dr this is the place! read more

Found this place on Yelp, gave them a try. Looking for glasses the first visit, didn't find the right pair. Second time, I decided to take my eye exam here because of other "ok" reviews. Place looked a little antique, unprofessional; but service was friendly. Made an appointment by phone and took about 20min. To make my reservation as my records took time to be found. Felt a little odd they took so long. Made it 10 minutes late to my appointment, but they were behind on schedule. So, aka "on time." Although, an error occurred when the person with an appointment 30min. after me was taken in before me. I pointed it out to the secretary, she apologized deeply.... Instead of telling the other guy, and making things right. Star lost. When my turn was finally it, I had to wait an additional 10min. After the 30min. in the waiting area. Now, the doctor, she is the sweetest. Very nice, professional. After getting my prescription, I gave them the pair of glasses and my order was done one day to the next. I was happy for that result. Today, I came back to give them a new pair I already bought from another store. Realized they opened at 10:00am, not 8:00am as it was previously listed on yelp. Waited since 9:20am and they opened at 9:54am. Not bad. They took care of me rather quickly and friendly. Both staff members where in early except the Doctor. I had to wait for the Doctor to approve my prescription on the new set of glasses. Sooo, more wait. As my story continues, I think there is a better, faster way to do things. Maybe a little more professional. At least place the store time on your door or mention it on your phone voicemail. read more

I'm new to the area so I've been looking for a new eye dr for awhile. I'm so happy I stumbled across this place. Everyone was super nice! The dr was extremely efficient. But, the best part - I was in & out within 30mins. I couldn't of been happier with my experience! read more

Great doctor, she is very sweet and fast. Very professional environment and very responsive. I recommend this place for everyone.

I called in to get an appointment for the same day and they were very quick and diligent to get me the authorization for the eye exam and got me my prescription very fast and efficient! They gave me extra contacts for me to try. Loved the service, very personable and friendly, would recommend! read more

Dr. Espinoza has been my eye doctor for the past 9 yrs. I have been going to her becasue her office is prompt with service, effective and efficient, the Dr. always takes her time when completing the eye exam and always offers the best technology available. Her attention to detail is very accruate and there has been never an error neither with my presciption nor with the service I have received. I do recommend this Dr.'s office as I have for the past 9 yrs to all my friends and collegues. read more

After waiting 4 weeks for my glasses, they gave me some glasses that belonged to someone else and didn't notice the error. They told me to wait 2 more weeks to fix the mistake (6 weeks in total) I waited and still they didn't have my glasses and not even a phone call from this office. The optometrist Lori Espinosa blames the lab and refuses to take responsibility and the lab blames her and also refuses to take responsibility leaving me THE PATIENT in the middle. You called the office they don't answer, you go to the office during business hours and they are closed. Don't be fooled by the pictures on google, is an empty townhouse with boxes laying on the floor and a selection of about 2O frames to choose from. Put your trust and money elsewhere. read more

As always, such a pleasant experience with Doral Eye Center. Dr. Espinoza and the front desk are extremely nice and welcoming. I've been seeing Dr. Espinoza since I was young and since then has always provided me with the best services and eye health advice. read more

Excellent service every time I come to my eye doctor. I've been coming for over 8 years and will be for many years to come. The doctor and staff have treated me with great care and appointment times are kept. Even through a recent eye emergency situation, they made time to see me. I would definitely recommend her facilities to anyone looking for an eye doctor. I guarantee once you have your first visit, you will become a life long client. read more

I found this place only through my insurance not yelp. This is the first time I do an eye exam for my 3 and 6 year old boys. Place does look antique and not too many options to choose from. But the main reason why I am giving 5 stars was because the front lady was very sweet and nice to my 6yo and was very helpful at helping find his new pair of glasses. He felt so handsome and excited to wear 'em. I apologize do not remember her name but she helped us last friday and yesterday when we picked up his prescription glasses. This 5 stars are for you! read more

Dr. Lori Espinoza takes care of my eyes while being genuinely friendly, courteous, and very professional. The staff is also courteous and available to assist you while you wait. As a photographer, I use my eyes a lot, not only behind the camera but also in front of a computer screen editing pictures, so I need my eyes to be in tiptop shape. I highly recommend her to any one in need of friendly professional eye care in the Doral/Miami Springs area. NOTE: I have worked in Retail/Customer Service and KNOW that when a customer does not get their way, the service provider has to bend over backwards to try and pacify the situation. Use your common sense...those posting the negative postings are disgruntled customers who have poor social skills in dealing with people and have no tolerance whatsoever for human error. I have lived in New York City, Virginia Beach, Pensacola Beach, Charleston, and Key West and I have not had a better optometric exam. read more

Best optometrist EVER! In and put in less than half an hour! Quick professional service. Doctor Espinoza went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and treated with extra care! read more
