After looking at reviews of optometrists in the area I contacted Eyecare Center and explained my situation, without hesitation or any attitude (I run into that more and more these days), the office had me come right over. I saw Dr. Dupuis, he was great.. professional yet personable, and witty without the use of tired, corny eye jokes my eye doc back home uses. I originally had just planned to just buy a pair of replacement contacts, but Dr. Eric took the time to check my contact lens prescription to ensure it was still accurate...it wasn't. He gave me an emergency pair of contacts with my updated prescription. Their pricing on lenses was less than what my eye doc back home charges so I ended up ordering more through Eyecare Center to have mailed back to my home. The only negative is the fact they're located in Boulder and not where I live, otherwise I'd be switching to Eyecare Center & Dr. Eric for my eyecare needs. Big thanks Dr. Dupuis, keep up the great work!

I am writing to express my disappointment with the customer service I received during my visit to…read moreThe Optical Center today. A couple of weeks ago, I visited your store and was assisted by Chelsea. That experience was outstanding. She took the time to carefully select several frames for me to try on, made recommendations based on fit, and provided the kind of attentive service every customer hopes to receive. There was also another friendly gentleman at the front desk who, at Chelsea's request, looked up my records from when Jeff Lees owned and managed The Optical Center. I mentioned to Chelsea that I had purchased several pairs of glasses from Jeff years ago when I lived in the Firestone area. I also explained that I now live in Highlands Ranch, over an hour away, and had driven all the way to Longmont because of the positive experiences I had previously enjoyed at your store. After narrowing my choices to a couple of frames, Chelsea told me she would contact me with the frame details and pricing. A few days later, Chelsea called me at work and asked whether I could come in that Friday. I explained that I couldn't make it that day but that I would come the following Saturday while the shop was open. When I arrived today, however, the experience was completely different. The moment I walked through the door, I was met with one of the coldest receptions I have ever received from a retailer. Chelsea's facial expression and tone were noticeably unwelcoming. Thinking perhaps she didn't recognize me, I greeted her and said, "Hi Chelsea, I'm XXX XXXXX, the gentleman you spoke with on the phone a few days ago who was interested in purchasing the frames you selected for me." Even after introducing myself, her demeanor did not change. Having driven over an hour to your store, I asked if I could use the restroom. Instead of allowing me to take a few steps through the small office area to the restroom--as I had done in the past when Jeff Lees owned the business--I was instructed to leave the optical center, walk all the way around through the hallway, and enter from another direction because the office area was "for staff only." While I understand businesses have policies, the interaction itself felt unnecessarily cold and unaccommodating. When I returned from the restroom, the interaction became even more uncomfortable. Without any greeting or welcoming attitude, I was asked, "What do you want? Do you want to see the glasses or what?" At that point, I was genuinely taken aback. I found myself wondering what had changed since my previous visit. I had come prepared to purchase one or possibly two pairs of glasses, but after being treated in such an unfriendly and dismissive manner, I simply said I would think about it and left. I work hard for my money, and I choose to spend it with businesses that appreciate their customers. There are many excellent optical shops much closer to my home that provide friendly, respectful service. Unfortunately, because of today's experience, The Optical Center has lost a loyal repeat customer. Please remove me from your email list, delete my phone number and contact information from your records, and do not contact me in the future. I wanted to share this feedback because the difference between my first visit and today's visit was so dramatic that I felt management should be aware of it. My hope is that no other customer has an experience similar to mine.

On the other hand, there is a staff member there that can be very rude and passive aggressively judgmental with any option you choose that is not hers. At first, she comes off helpful, then she starts judging you and your choice of frames. To say the least, I felt belittled and not treated with respect. I normally don't go out of my way to submit bad reviews, but I wanted to share my experience to hopefully brace any future or existence customers that go to Carbon Valley Eye Care. It's unfortunate that that one experience is making me contemplate taking my business elsewhere. My suggestion as someone who has worked in customer service for 12 years, it might be a good idea to have some sort of frequent customer service training (there are plenty of online trainings that don't cost much and would really help staff make customers feel respected and welcomed) it's such a simple skill that unfortunately for some has to be learned.

My family and I have been going to Dr. Berger and Dr. Koditek for several years (long before they…read moreopened this office in Frederick. I do highly recommend them both however I cannot say the same for the office staff or the lab that makes their lenses. The glasses I purchased were loaded with all the extras (anti-glare, anti-scratch, polycarbonate, photo sun, etc.) however within a year I noticed that the lenses seemed cloudy and no amount of cleaning made it better. I took them to the office and they replaced the lenses under a 2 year warranty. Thought everything was good. Unfortunately when I went back to replace them again for the same issue (called crazing) I was told that they couldn't honor the warranty on the replacement lenses as the warranty only covered the first pair! Worse yet, the woman I spoke with insisted that the only way that this would occur is if I left them in extreme heat which I had not. It didn't matter, she insisted that "everybody does this when they take them off and leave them on the dash" (something that I never do!). It didn't matter, she was convinced that the issue was mine and only due to my leaving them in a high temp environment - couldn't be anything else! Interestingly my record showed these lenses being replaced twice for this issue and somehow I don't have any recollection of that. I suspect that it really is a quality issue with the lab that this office uses as I purchased a different set of glasses from an eye doctor in Firestone (scheduling issue trying to get in with CV Eye Care) and haven't had any issues with crazing of the lenses for that pair. My wife recently took her glasses back to CV Eye Care for the same reason (first time) and they replaced the lenses without any issue (she spoke with someone else). The lack of customer service from this woman and the real possibility that they are using an inferior lab for their lenses makes it clear to me that I should take my business elsewhere.

I'm not an ophthalmologist, clearly, and don't know how to read those prescriptions and so am kind of stuck. I had a great exam but am not able to move forward to get the glasses that I need - so a total waste of both time and money to go to this practice.

Questionable/shady billing practices and bad record keeping…read more My family had met the out of pocket maximum on our medical insurance. I had already sent a child and gone myself to appointments (annual for the child with glasses, my following up on a now long term concussion) and insurance covered those appointments. I had no reason to believe that annual, regular (preventative) exams would not be covered. (I had believed that it would be part of our medical, not having used this under our current insurance before -- our plan with Kaiser included annual optometrist checks -- and Dr. Nunn was listed as an in network medical provider on the insurance page with no notations for how that would be covered despite my being logged in AND we had met our family out of pocket maximum). They have paperwork with a variety of clauses but it was verbally altered to include that the regular exam may not have inclusion of all the tests they use. I figured even $50 for additional testing they believe necessary might be okay since I otherwise should have no liability. In addition, when I walked in for the first set of appointments (2 children each date, one week apart), I was told they couldn't confirm my insurance so I actually called member services, confirmed they were in network and that the standard exam should be covered -- I noted what it was for and my expectations -- and then put the receptionist in touch with the insurance company. (Did I mention I sent the insurance information to them ahead of the appointments?) Fast forward 3 weeks and I get a bill for over $500 for the first 2 appointments. Now, here is the problem: The receptionists did not have the knowledge to answer my insurance coverage questions, and instead just rushed me to add my initials to the several disclaimers on their paperwork. When I asked about the refraction exam disclaimer (which notes that some insurances do not cover it) , they simply said "that might not be covered." (I took that specific risk but the clause that insurance may not cover standard exam seemed extraneous based on the phone call to member services and sending the info along to reception.) As I continued to fill the paperwork, I did everything, and then proceeded with the routine exams. The exams seemed fine, Dr. Nunn seemed mostly good (she had missed something on my exam but a specialist caught it so maybe it was just an unusual catch for low level reading glasses adjustment -- huge for my concussion related migraines but not necessarily super regular need). Now, however, her billing representative told me that since there are so many insurance plans they can't possibly know ahead of time if there is coverage. This ignores that they had previously billed the same insurance for myself and one of my other children (prior to our meeting our deductible and out of pocket max) and they had those accounts to guide at least some knowledge of the plan.They also have an electronic system to connect to my insurer and could have checked before the day of service. I have now paid over $1000 for four appointments. Her biller left me a message that if there were symptoms like headaches, that could change the insurance coverage. First, one of my kids did note that several times so they didn't make proper notes that day and second, this seems to be asking me to note symptoms after the fact to deal with their incompetence with the insurance (and someone less scrupulous may have made something up and participated in insurance fraud).The total bill was over $200 more, by the way, than the private pay cost that I was offered (at the same time I was asked about symptoms in a voicemail that I have retained) which was revoked with no notice.  The office may look fancy but their billing and record keeping practices (in my experience) are a real question.

In 2021 it took this business 10 months to get my eyeglasses yes TEN months!! It also took that long for them to get my mother's eyeglasses as well!!! We had numerous problems, mistakes and just plain incompetency. I finally got my glasses in October 2021 - there was a discussion about a monetary discount and Dr. Wren wound up offering me 50% off of future lenses. We visited this year (12/2022) & inquired about my 'compensation' only to find out that it expired a month after it was given; November 2021. I certainly wasn't going to need glasses in one month! Therefore I asked if we could use the discount for this visit/year & reluctantly he finally agreed (this was all over the phone via the manager, he was not in that day) however it turned out that our insurance doesn't allow us to get lenses without frames plus it was cheaper through the insurance vs. his discount. Therefore I later emailed the Dr./owner explaining what the circumstances were with not being able to use the discount and reiterated what we went through in 2021. I had asked if he could compensate us in a different manner, perhaps discount our bill from the new eyeglasses my husband & I just bought during this visit. A few days later we received an email stating that "due to their inability to satisfy us" they were refunding our money in full and he wouldn't provide services to us in the future. Whaaaaat?? So we go through TEN months of waiting for eyewear with the utmost patience & at least two dozen trips back & forth and this is how the owner responds??? Unbelievable!! We are truly baffled!! So, in conclusion if you do not want to wait months on end for your eyewear and you do not want to be treated in this manner by the owner I suggest you find somewhere else to go! I gladly will take my money and business elsewhere. *Notice how 'pleasant' Dr. Wren is in his response!! In fact look at how vial he is in all of his responses to the complaints! In addition these are the 'facts' and they did NOT discount anything last year (we still have our receipt) what an outright blatant lie! WOW!!
