I recently moved to Cincinnati and needed a new optimist. After conducting research for about a…read moremonth, I landed on Dr. Hamillton, Hyde Park Optometrist. My eye exam was the MOST thorough and Dr. Hamilton explained every step with precision and humor. Importantly, I learned why eye glasses ordered from lesser committed "eye professional" offices do not work as prescribed - they are made with inferior plastics - something you will not see endorsed from Dr. Hamilton. Only the best because he and his team truly care about their clients wellbeing. My research paid off and I hope this review helps you on your journey to find the right optometrist. Truly an exceptional experience!

5 stars for Dr. Guappone. 4 stars for the pushy…read moreneed-to-buy-your-glasses here pitch. -- I found Hyde Park Optometrists thanks to Yelp (see Yelpers, your contributions REALLY make a difference in peoples lives!) My husband and I actually booked back to back appointments. I haven't been to the eye doctor since I was in 5th grade, mainly because I claim to have perfect vision, but after not being able to see (especially while driving) my family banded against me and made me go (insert mad face). And I'll admit, i was mainly not going because I thought it was because I was getting older and/or possibly because I am scared to death of that eye puff machine. Basically I'm Rachel off friends in the episode "The One With Joey's Big Break" and also where Rachel goes to the eye doctor, gets some drops and everyone has to hold her down to put them in, yeah that's actually based on my life story. ANYWAY -- the doc tells me the eye puff machine is old skool and that technology is no longer in use. Now they use these super high tech camera things and it's not *as* scary. After the camera screenings etc. the eye exam was where I seriously almost lost my shit. Dr. Guappone 1) looks like Bill Nye. 2) IS THE SMARTEST MOST ARTICULATE MAN ON EARTH (well at least in the eye doc world). He didn't give me some BS medical terms. He actually broke down what was wrong in terms I could understand and even demonstrated on a model, and as a visual learner I was super appreciative of this! Also as others have said, he is very thorough. When I started off my saying I was a perfectionist, he went on to say he was too - and hence the through exam to make sure that the exam matched up to the camera readings. I just could not believe the amount of time he took to explain both to me and my husband about our situations, preventative health, and plan moving forward. It was a breath of fresh air and seriously eliminated (well almost) my fear of going to the doctor. I cannot reccomend him enough! The only negative and -1 star. I felt like the glasses selection was a bit outdated. They had some trendy designers, but not nearly enough or in the styles I wanted. Although the young man helping me was funny and enthusiastic I was put off by how insistent he was when trying to get me to purchase glasses through them. I literally just learned I needed glasses, if I have to wear them on my face every day - I want and need to find the ones I actually like! And again, as a perfectionist do some reserach first. Albeit super friendly, would lay off the sales pitch. Overall cannot reccomend this place enough and I will certainly be back for my ongoing check-ups!

They explained how we got here, their process, and that the solution going forward is to pay for another appointment and buy more contacts. I told them that I had low trust and my PoV. Was told my option was to spend more money and time to get contacts that will work. Going to a different place.

The location was a bit busy for a Sunday, but I was greeted quickly and didn't mind my short wait. Hailey, the associate who helped me, was awesome! Not only did she get my glasses quickly, once she found out I wasn't using insurance, she inquired if I had AAA. Having this membership qualified me for a very nice discount that I was not anticipating. Because of this unexpected discount, I also purchased some designer sunglasses.

The visit to Dr. Adam Nusgart was horrible…read more I went there specifically for my annual contact lens update. When I made the appointment, I made that very clear. And, it took 6 weeks to get in. When I explained that I didn't have enough contacts lenses to last that long, that I would be forced to re-use my daily contact lenses, the person doing the scheduling said that he would put me in so that I would be notified if there was a cancellation. I asked if I could get some samples to tide me over in case the cancellation didn't happen. He said no. Okay, so I waited the 6 weeks. I was not notified of any cancellations and so I did re-use my daily wear contacts. For weeks. When I finally went in for my appointment, I first saw the tech who ran me through the usual basic exams. Then she dilated my eyes. But then I saw Dr. Adam Nusgart. He said that he couldn't fit me for contacts. The reasons were all over the place. First it was because my eyes had already been dilated and that he can't fit me for contacts when my eyes are dilated. Then he claimed that's not his area, that contact lenses need to be fitted by the other person in the office and that I would have to make an appointment. I pushed back. He left the room only to return with a 5-pack sample of contacts - not my prescription, BTW - and gave them to me in a way that was like he was handing me something illegal. 'Put them in your purse so no one sees...' He then sent me back out to the receptionist to make another appointment with the other person on the office who would fit me with contacts. BTW, the 'other person' only works 2 days a week. So how much more would I have to wait? It was then that I blew up. After an angry confrontation, they agreed that if I didn't like the sample Nusgart had given me - I guess they were in on the secret sample contact deal at that point - I would be able to get a prescription for contacts using my previous years' adjustment. So all that and I didn't even get my prescription updated. The next day, when I called to order my contacts, no one answered the phone. I left 3 messages over the course of many hours. No one ever returned my phone call. I finally called the Montgomery and was able to place the order there. Don't go to this place. Their level of incompetence, disorganization and disinterest has no place in healthcare or in any place that involves dealing with people.

This place is awesome!!…read more I was in need of some new specs and was looking for a unique set. The run-of-the-mill frames just don't do it for me and was looking to be inspired. Well, I found my inspiration at York Vision. First, their inventory is VAST. I don't know if I have seen such a selection in my life. Brands i've never heard of, styles I've never seen. This place honestly has it all. The sales associate (forgive me sir, I have forgotten your name) was super respectful, gave us space, shared information when necessary, and proved to have a wealth of knowledge over the materials. He also helped us with payment information and ways to seek reimbursement from insurance. I was on a time crunch, leaving the state in 14 days, and was concerned I wouldn't revive the glasses in time. The associate offered to ship the glasses to me if they did not arrive before my departure, but was pretty confident that they would arrive on time. Sure enough, the glasses were ready in record time. I absolutely LOVE them and couldn't be happier with my purchase and York Vision. Check this place out and im sure you'll be pleasantly surprised

I came here mid-December after my glasses irreparably broke. I had tried going to my eye doctor,…read morebut they didn't have an frames I liked and their turn around time was over two weeks. Since I wear glasses 90% of the time, I needed glasses I really liked and that I could get ASAP. I thought I had found these at Eyemart Express when I located a pair of Guess glasses that closely resembled my prior pair. I purchased them and provided my prescription, and within an hour, I was on my way with my new glasses. Although I liked how they looked, something was definitely "off." Although my prescription had not changed, the glasses gave me headaches. I thought it was because their fit was a bit off and were pinching the cartilage behind my ears. After having them adjusted a couple times, it became apparent the problem was that the bridge of nose being too narrow. The great thing about Eyemart is their 30 day guarantee. So I went back and tried to find a different pair. I spent probably an hour and a half to two hours trying on nearly every pair of glasses in their store. Sarah was super helpful and tried to help me find glasses, with no success. Obviously, I'm too picky. But every pair that I liked were too narrow and the pairs that fit, I hated. I gave up and left. I ended up buying a pairing of frames elsewhere and returning to Eyemart to return the glasses. In order to process the return, you have to go to the same location you originally purchased at and the store manager must be present, FYI. I had no problems. The one thing that lost them a star for me was customer service. Don't get me wrong, everyone was very helpful and friendly... but I was in their store at least 6 times over the course of 4 weeks and despite the fact that I interacted with the same people every time, they never seemed to remember me and I would have to explain myself from the beginning every time. Regardless, there is something about getting a pair of glasses same-day for an affordable price. I wouldn't rule out coming back here when I need my next pair of glasses.

My adult daughter has used Target Optical for the last 3-4 years. She had a great experience at…read morethis Oakley location the first time she visited but went to the Beavercreek location for her next visit due to living closer to that location and had an absolutely awful experience. She decided to come back to this location. There was a snafu with our insurance the day before and we were told that we would have to pay full price since they couldn't get the insurance to go through. I called the insurance company, who found no issue. They called this Target, with me on the line, to get it straightened out. I have to mention that the young woman who answered the phone that evening was so incredibly rude. She had no idea I was on the phone as she snapped at the insurance professional. She even questioned the person's role with our insurance company. At one point she rattled off the extra verifications she would now need as proof of coverage since it had been 'rejected' on her end. Thankfully, our insurance professional was very patient and calm and gave her what she demanded, while informing her that I was on the phone. She softened a bit but was still rude. Needless to say, it was a turn off to this optical company. We had an astoundingly awful experience with the Beavercreek location a couple of years ago all because the woman working at that store repeatedly refused to run our insurance, was terribly rude, and told us to pay up front and be reimbursed. That's not how our insurance works. We had to call our insurance company to straighten it out. She then grudgingly ran our insurance. So... here we are again with a different location, a different associate but with similar behavior. I should mention that our insurance is a well known company, they take our insurance, we only have minimal copays and spend well above upfront for the designer frames my daughter always picks. Reading other reviews on both these locations it seems to be a common issue with the people hired to work for Target Optical. It can take some time to run insurance and get the needed verifications and the staff can not be so lazy that they refuse to do their job. Also, when we were at the Oakley location, all of our information had to be repeatedly entered into the computer. Repeatedly. It became comical. It was mentioned by an associate that it's their computer system that keeps 'booting out claims'. So - it's highly likely that the continual problem with insurance this company has is with their computer system. But instead of rectifying it some staff take it out on the customer. That has been our experience with two different locations. The service on the day of the appointment went well and is the reason I didn't rate this location lower. The doctor on staff here, Donna, is great and my daughter likes her quite a bit! The doctor is friendly and thorough. The older gentleman and woman that were working when we came in were very friendly and helpful. While the day of the service was pleasant - the interaction with the young woman the night before has left a negative feeling towards Target Optical for me. Hopefully, picking up her glasses will go smoothly.
