I wanted to share a terrible experience I had with this business. I went in because of an issue with my eyes. The owner, Karen talked me into getting a pair of reading glasses. She said they would be far superior to the cheap over the counter ones I had been buying. She said my insurance would cover them. After it was all said and done and she had talked me into these lenses and that coating, etc, the glasses were over 600 bucks and my insurance only covered half of that. When I picked them up, I was immediately disappointed with the quality of vision. I asked about their return policy and was bluntly told that there isn't one. She would send them back and have the lenses remade one time only. I figured that was worth a shot and agreed. Meanwhile, I checked with 3 other optometrists in the area. They all said they would definitely refund my money if I wasn't satisfied. I went back and picked up the glasses a second time, and after a few days I decided to go back and complain again. I politely explained that I wasn't satisfied. Karen just sat there shaking her head back and forth and was very obstinate with me. I calmly told her about the other businesses in the area, I explained that her 600 dollar glasses were no better, in fact they were worse than the 5 dollar ones I've been using.She still refused to stand behind her product. I calmly told her that
I was going to report her to the BBB and take her to court if she didn't issue me a refund. She pointed at the door and rudely told me to leave her business. On my way out I mentioned that I was going to let everyone I spoke to in the community about how she ran a business. At that point, she held out her hand and said, "give me the glasses"! I obliged, and she threw them down on the counter and told me she would mail me a check and to never step foot in her business again. That certainly isn't going to be a problem. I do believe I'm the first person to be thrown out of an eyeglass place. Way to run an upstanding business Karen!!!!
