Sam did an excellent job framing a piece of artwork my husband and I purchased while in Quebec. With his skilled craftsmanship and guidance on framing and matting selection, the resulting showpiece enhances the colors of the original etching. He made it easy, fun, and offered great insight while going over options and finalizing choices. Based on his previous work, we knew we could entrust him with a significant antique oil painting that is a prized possession as it depicts the location where my husband and I got married. He took the time to make a house call with his wife due to the delicate nature of the piece and helped install appropriate hardware necessary to hang such a delicate painting. The piece now hangs beautifully on our bedroom wall and we're delighted to wake up to a stunning image everyday thanks to Sam and his wife. We cannot thank Sam and his wife enough for their diligence and passion for their work. We unreservedly would recommend them and do not trust our art with anyone else because we know that it is in great hands and will turn out even beyond our expectations. We look forward to working with this family-owned shop on many projects in the future and are truly lucky to have such a gem in our community!

Sam, one of the owners, was gracious and unflustered, advised those of us next in line of the anticipated wait, and proceeded to give his full attention and the best possible advice to the first couple there to have several items framed. Several of us chose to wait and it was a pleasure to watch the warmth, interest and professionalism that he invested in each customer. My project was small and easy, yet he took the time to engage in conversation and to make me feel that my project was just as important to him as the other that proceeded me. The work was done within a few days and I received a text. Though it was my first time as a customer he immediately remembered me when I returned to the shop and had me examine his work and wanted to be sure that I was fully satisfied before I left. This is truly a gem of a business and you feel well served and appreciated when you leave.

I recently had to reschedule an eye exam due to a family emergency. Despite calling the morning of the appointment to explain the situation, I was told I would be charged a "no-show" fee, and I have now received a bill for $50. This policy was never explained to me, nor was any grace extended for a long-term patient facing an emergency. This follows a disappointing pattern. I actually left this practice five years ago due to an unpleasant interaction with a staff member who was later terminated for her rude behavior. Unfortunately, the culture has not changed; the current staff remains dismissive and unprofessional. Save yourself the time, money, and aggravation by going elsewhere. You will find better prices and far more professional service at a major retailer like Walmart. It's a shame to see a local business treat twenty years of loyalty with such disregard.

The staff confirms appointments over the phone but their system will say otherwise. I'm very disappointed. The opticians here that dispense glasses are great though.

Unfortunately, what has consistently taken away from that experience over the years is the front office staff--specifically, Joanne. Joanne has a long history of being dismissive, unhelpful, and at times, openly rude. Years ago, she refused to release my prescription for a snorkeling mask until I spoke to the doctor, which felt unnecessarily difficult. Last year, when I got glasses from their office, no one explained they were progressives--and when I had trouble adjusting, the process to fix it took multiple visits. There was no guidance or accountability on her part. Most recently, as I waited for my appointment, she loudly said to another staff member, "There's the girl who was a problem." I hadn't even spoken yet. When I asked to set up a time to look at frames, she said there was nothing available, despite it being well before closing. It was very clear I was being intentionally pushed away. What really stood out was how familiar this behavior seems to be. When I casually mentioned my experience to a coworker, my boss overheard and said, without hesitation, "That sounds like Joanne from Casey Vision--that's why I don't go there anymore." I've also noticed several other reviews here mentioning her by name, which unfortunately lines up with what I experienced. The doctors are great, but Joanne makes the overall environment uncomfortable. I hope the practice takes this feedback seriously, because no matter how good the care is, the experience at the front desk sets the tone--and she's driving patients away.

They are exceptional and heard many good things about the care and attention to detail offered.read more
