Amazing amazing amazing! From the doctor to the staff it was an amazing experience.
Three months ago I started this horrible challenge of getting new glasses and like so many people I chose to go to a high traffic chain store lured in by glasses in an hour. Well after seeing THREE separate doctors (one of which was an absolute nightmare), having the wrong prescription twice, having bad lenses, and then finally having my frames broken and misshapen only to be told they don't know what happened...I had had it.
I relocated to Nashville and decided to find a small local eye doctor and just keep it simple. Wow, such a great change. My exam went so well, no crazy machines spitting out information that can't be questioned. I sat in his chair and he talked to me about what I do, about how much I travel, how much I drive, and what my biggest complaint with my vision was. He asked how often I feel I need my glasses and what I want to be able to see better. All around a great exam. I walked out feeling like I was going to get the right prescription and I didn't need to worry.
Being a small office they don't have a huge amount of frames to choose from but I didn't mind. They had multiple styles and seemed like something for everyone. I found exactly what I wanted. They send it off so it does take about a week to get them back but again, I didn't mind a bit since my experience was so good in the first place.
Fast forward a week, I went to go get my glasses today and was surprised that the color of the frames was different than what I had chosen. They were tortoise shell and that can vary a lot but I had picked the frames based on the pink color in the frame. They completely understood and took my lenses out of the frames and put them in the frames I fell in love with! In the process my lens got a tiny chip but they were up front, let me leave with the lenses since it didn't impact my vision and I needed them for a trip, they had already sent off for new ones and will replace them when they come in!
Long story not so short...if you live in Hermitage I highly recommend u go here. From start to finish the experience was so much nicer than those high traffic chains and I feel like I got way better care than I have ever gotten at one of those places! read more
