This was my second time purchasing glasses from Boris. The first time the glasses were excellent…read more This time I wasted $600! and I would not go back. I asked Boris to put my new presciption into my old unrimmed frame, and he couldn't give me a straight answer on how much it would cost. He said a few times that he'd have to send it out and he didn't know how much they would charge them - and it be much easier to buy new frames... which is what I did, but they were a bad fit; I couldn't see as well because of the nose pads. So I went to The Eye Store in Brookline, who were excellent - they put my new presciption into my old frame for much less than $600! and their customer service was superb.

The interior of the practice itself is decorated with obvious delight and joy, with a clear emphasis on being a safe space for clients. Dr. Ah-Kiné fosters a sense of relaxed competence and straightforward communication that is all too often a rare thing in medical professionals. They explained the procedures as they performed them, gave no judgements or lectures for any information I offered (I'm getting better about sleeping in contacts, I promise), and overall gave me their full attention for the length of my appointment. Mac was similarly a warm and welcoming help in discussing options for contact pricing and glasses, and the front desk staffperson was prompt, friendly, and had truly fantastic eyeliner wings. :) Overall: Gaze is 100% my new go-to eye doctor, no question about it. Thank you, everyone at Gaze Optical, for such a positive experience.

I always feel that I have received the right answer when I go to him. He also has a wonderful assistant called Angel - who is appropriately named as she is such a sweet woman!

The receptionist was able to fit me in the very next day and double checked both my eye insurance and my health insurance to make sure I was utilizing all my benefits and paying the least out of pocket (I had already used up my free exam with another eye doctor). Place: clean, well organized. docked 1/2 a star because i think the frame selection was small but they do have other locations so perhaps this one isn't as big. My doctor was Abigail, sweet woman, walked me through everything, very personable. The exam went smoothly and she explained all my contact lens options and gave me a trial set for a week (which was WAY better than my last brand). I had to come back in a few day to get my eyes dilated. Docked the next 1/2 star because I was a little shocked at how aggressive Abigail was when putting the drops in my eye. I sat down in the chair and she was on me pulling my eyes open and BANG! Drop! Maybe that's how they have to do it but give a girl some warning before pouncing! LOL. looking back it was funny but i was def taken aback.

I've been going here for years, which is why this experience was especially disappointing…read more During a recent eye exam, the doctor became concerned that she saw something abnormal and strongly directed me to have an additional test. I had actually been offered this test as an optional service and had declined it because I didn't feel I needed it. But when the doctor reacted as though she had seen something concerning, I understandably became worried about my eyes and agreed to have the test. I was specifically told by the doctor that I would not be charged for it. Thankfully, the test showed that there was nothing to be concerned about, and I was relieved. A few weeks later, however, I received a bill. I suspected it was for the additional test, so I went in to ask about it. Unfortunately, I was given an explanation that did not match what the doctor had told me. I was told that the doctor apparently meant that I personally would not be charged because the cost would be submitted to insurance--but because insurance only covered part of it, I was now responsible for the remaining balance. Weird explanation given that they weren't there and seem to just learn about the issue. That does not make sense to me, particularly when I was explicitly told the test would not be charged. They could not do anything and told me they would leave a message for the doctor. Weeks went by without anyone getting back to me. When I returned to pick up my glasses, I asked about it again and received the same explanation, with no resolution. What's most disappointing is not simply the bill. It's the lack of accountability and follow-through when I raised a legitimate concern. When a doctor makes you believe there may be something wrong with your eyes, you trust what they tell you and make decisions based on that information. If there was a misunderstanding about the billing, I would have expected someone to acknowledge that and work with me to resolve it--not repeatedly give me an explanation that doesn't align with what I was told. I've been a customer for years, but after this experience, I'll be taking my business elsewhere.
