Now in my 50's and wearing glasses since I was in college, this provider had made the best glasses…read moreI ever had. When I lived in CT, for about 7 years, I used this provider. We stumbled upon this practice by luck and stuck with them (except once when i was in a rush, went to a local place on my insurance list, regretted that, so I went back to using the reliable service we always got from Dr. Nowak from then on). As for the rest of my family, we always used Dr. Nowak even though he was a bit far from where I lived - found him as a referral we got when we first moved to CT from out-of-state, stayed with him because of quality of care. The doctor is thorough, careful and uses exceptional material - he insists on Zeiss lenses they, and his testing must make a difference because before him and since, I've really never had eyewear that's been so comfortable; if I had the money I'd fly back there just to get my eye services from him! Really, tried several providers here and there's always more than a bit of an adjustment to new glasses, never had that once with Dr. Nowak's.

Our first time to this Eye Center as it was located close to our home. Pretty easy to find after…read moreGoogle Maps brought us a little further than we were suppose to. Located and easy to find; the medical plaza has a plethora of medical offices with a variety of specialities. Made me smile as I walked in as there is a Oral surgeon here that helped make my sister's experience with her wisdom teeth a little more hilarious. Anyways the office is spacious with a small frames space to check out some new designs. My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of working with Karen at the front as she was pleasant and worked with us as we didn't really have the best understanding of our coverage. While the forms were sent to us, my boyfriend had missed a sheet and quickly filled it out. Our 3pm apt was pretty on point as I was working with Jen a 19 year veteran to the facility. She was polite, professional and patient while I asked odd questions about my contacts and the place of business. Standard procedure with reading letters on the wall, machines to measure my detoriating eye sight and dilation to finish it off. Everything was quick and we were sitting with Dr. Sparks in no time. Nothing too serious lucky for me and we were moving on to see Denise who scheduled me for my contact fitting and follow up. They have locations in Windsor and Bloomfield which is nice and easy for me to get to from work so win win. All in all I had a great experience. Everyone at the Windsor office was friendly and tolerated the banter between my boyfriend and I. Stay tuned for my review with the Bloomfield office.

It was a dreadful experience - visit to Dr. Pasternack or rather this eye care center. My waiting…read moretime altogether was 45 minutes, time spent with doctor's assistant Natalie was about 10 minutes, time spent with doctor himself - about 3 minutes. Very poorly organized office, very bad "waiting time"/"service time" ratio, very skillless reception manners. Natalie was perfect! She was highly professional, very sufficient and very pleasant. I can't stop praising her! Doctor was... just nothing. Natalie made all measurements and tests. My prescription was done by her in 10 minutes! But then I had to wait for Mr. Pasternack for awfully long time just to sign this prescription. Such a time wasting. Very bad service!

Our experience was nothing like several of other Yelpers. Our appointment went smoothly, and unless…read morethey screw up getting our order ready on time, we can offer mostly praise and thanks. We managed an appointment within a week of calling -- very rare! -- and were taken to see the doctor with less than five minutes waiting. The exam was carefully done, eyes dilated, and the waiting precess comfortable. When it came time to pick out glasses we had a reasonable choice of affordable frames, though if you have the cash they have some really upscale frames (think Tiffany, Coach, etc.) They didn't push us to buy more, much appreciated, and they helped fit the frame and got us out in not much over an hour. We thought the doctor, the front desk staff and the young woman who fitted us were knowledgeable and helpful. This is not a large operation, but the interior is clean and they have a nice public restroom. Curiously, the outside of the building looks abandoned with grass and shrubs way overgrown. Somebody needs to fix that right away. We initially thought the place was shut down. But -- unless they get our prescription wrong or it is delayed arriving, we'll stick with four stars.

In this day and time when businesses are robbing us blind, we seem to have no protection as in days…read moregone by. This business is one of those businesses you need to be protected from. I found the optometrist (a female), very through. Ordering glasses is what makes me angry. They charged me $300 for the cheapest pair of glasses ever made. They were bifocal, plus they charged me an extra $20, that I had to pay myself. I don't care for the glasses but what could I do but order a pair online that I could afford. I had to ask these people 4 times to send my prescription by email. They claimed the doctor had to look at it and sign it but I never got it. A couple of months later I tried again. Still they did not send. Called a few days later they sent prescription unsigned saying it was not valid. I'm sure they knew I wanted to order online so no PD number of course. By that time I was aggravated and threatened to let everyone know their practices in my review. They didn't care, they still did not correct this. I guess I WILL have to contact the BBB and a new optometrist.

It took about 2 weeks for them to arrive. I absolutely love them!!! Now I don't think wearing glasses is such a bad thing. Looking forward to collecting frames like I collect shoes.
