Paul is an amazing and caring optician. When I called to see if they were doing any sort of online appointments, he said they had not and then asked what the problem was. When I told him he gave me his cell number and asked me to FaceTime him. Wow. That's great customer service. We did FaceTime and he immediately saw the problem and told me how to fix it. I thought I had, but later that night realized I had not. So I called the next day and asked if I could come and see him. He said absolutely. I shared my concern about getting too close to people. I knew they were all wearing masks, but I asked if he would be willing to wear a face shield. He said absolutely. I went there and everything was socially distanced. And Paul came out to meet me with a face shield on. He took my glasses and fixed them in under 5 minutes. That, my friends, is wonderful service. And it is awesome that Paul and the folks at Tallahassee Eye Center care so much about the feelings and concerns of their patients.

Considering I've been going to the same practice for the last 20+ years, I think Big Bend Family…read moreEye Care did pretty well attending me on my first visit. First and foremost, they took my insurance, well my prior vision insurance (as my company now changed insurance this year, but that's another conversation for another day), and that in itself is a godsend. There weren't a lot of practices taking my insurance. Then, there's the caveat that the ones that were weren't taking new patients, and if they were, it was quite some time ahead. Big Bend managed to get me in within a couple of weeks for my annual check-up. That said, finding this place was a little difficult as the GPS did not want to cooperate. Luckily there are big signs outside that are easy to see. Everyone at the office was really nice, but more impressive still is the fact that I did not have my pupils dilated given all the new technology they have. I walked out of there with my prescription for both glasses and contacts sans problem. They even recommended a LASIK place to me. Overall, I liked my experience there. Dr. Malone was personal and professional, and she just made me feel at ease. Here's hoping my new vision insurance is taken by them when the time comes. I don't want to go through the ordeal of finding another eye doctor in Tallahassee.

I don't typically leave reviews, positive or negative. My experience at Hatchers was so poor, I…read morehave decided to share one here. Had an eye exam to update my glasses and contact prescription back in November 2025. Exam went fine, doctor was knowledgeable and friendly. It only went downhill from there. Once I went out front to order a free trial of contacts, I was told they would come in 2-4 weeks and I would be contacted when they arrived. Four weeks go by, no contact, no big deal yet, I reach out, he says they will check on it and call me back with an update. One week later, no call back with an update. Wait another week. Still no call back. I call again. Claims he does not know what happened, will order more. I wait another 4 weeks, no contact from Hatchers. I call back, am told that he does not know what is going on, will check with the vendor and order another pair. I make him promise to call me back within 3 days to give me an update on the situation as I am getting frustrated in this repeat situation, which he agrees to do. Waited three days, no call back. Waited a full week. No call back. It has now been several months since I ordered a free contact trial. I decided to go in to the store in person sometime in March or April to try and sort it out in person. I talk with the man at the counter again explaining that I am very frustrated with the situation. He says that the pair ordered should be coming, but can provide no information regarding its shipping status. He says he will order me another free pair for my troubles. At this point, I have no idea how many pairs have been ordered. Five maybe? and yet none have arrived. I wait another several weeks in hopes that it has actually been taken care of this time. Nothing. I don't know why it took me so long to give up and move on but I finally went to the store today, one last time, to see if my contacts had arrived. If not, I was going to cancel my order and move on in hopes I did not waste my ability to get a free pair of contacts through my insurance. In the store there are two people in front of me "in line". I wait patiently for my turn. My presence was never acknowledged as I waited for 30+ minutes for assistance. As I wait, and watch him serve the other customers, he is able to multitask and take numerous phone calls, but he is unable to even ask what I am in for as he is working on the computer to help other clients. It just makes me feel like I would get better customer service as a call in than a walk in. However, I can't accomplish anything calling in either. He finally gets to me, and has to search the computer for 10 minutes just to figure my situation out. I don't understand why it takes 10 minutes to figure out if something has arrived or not, especially with the history that we have established at this point of ordering pair upon pair of contacts. He goes and searches for my contacts and finds two pairs. He then stated that he was waiting until my box of contacts had come in before contacting me. AT NO POINT did I ever order a box of contacts! In what world does it make sense for me to order a box of contacts in which I have not even received the trial pair for, on a new prescription and a new type of contacts. Let alone the fact that every conversation I had with him was about receiving my trial pair. This is point that the vibe shifted from feeling incompetent to shady. For all I know my contacts may have been sitting there in the office for weeks or months. The previous time I went in, he did not physically check anywhere to see if my contacts had arrived. Just fumbled around on the computer for 10-15 minutes stating he did not know what was going on. It took over 6 months to receive my contacts! 6 MONTHS! And at NO point did anyone make a proactive effort to inform me of what was going on or that they would be coming soon, or why they were delayed or anything. Every step of the process was like pulling teeth to get information and actually get my contacts. Shame on me for waiting so long to go eleswhere. At best, everything after the eye exam portion was utterly incompetent, at worst it was knowingly deceptive or shady. I will not be returning.

1 Star Absolutely…read moreterrible experience at the America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses location in Tallahassee. My contact lenses were delivered to the store today via UPS, and I even had proof of delivery. To avoid any issues, I called the store beforehand and an employee confirmed my contacts were ready for pickup. So I drove to the store based on that information. When I arrived, the staff suddenly claimed the contacts weren't there and even suggested UPS must have delivered them to the wrong address. An employee named Latoya was especially rude and dismissive. Instead of trying to help resolve the situation, she said they shouldn't have even told me the contacts were ready because even if they are delivered, they "haven't processed them yet." So apparently customers are supposed to magically know that "ready for pickup" doesn't actually mean ready. After wasting my time and sitting there while they searched around, they eventually found my contacts in the store the entire time. So the problem wasn't UPS like they initially claimed -- it was their own disorganization. No apology, no accountability, just attitude. If you value your time or basic customer service, I recommend going somewhere else for contacts or glasses.
