Dr. Wilson was kind, patient and thorough. She explained things clearly and was very positive. I recommend this practice!

Dr Albert was great. Her staff was friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend trying her office the next time you need an eye exam.

I'd recommend this place, both the doctor and the, I don't know if she's called a nurse, but both super friendly and communicative.

The last time I had an eye exam was when I got my driver's license roughly a decade ago. I went in…read morefor an eye exam and got my first pair of glasses - I guess my vision isn't what it used to be! I was overwhelmed by the selection of frames they had but I was walked through every step of the process, and the workers there were honest about whether a style was flattering on my face (much appreciated!). During checkout, the person helping me automatically applied discounts and checked my insurance to ensure that I was getting the best deal. I was able to pick up my glasses in about a week. I'm one happy customer.

I was a long time patient of this place and everything was fine until it wasn't. Last time I was…read morein for glasses, they changed their house brand and I could no longer get the glasses I wanted. Not a deal breaker at the time. But now they require a "mandatory" extra $45 retinal scan (not covered by insurance and not told until AFTER you book an appointment), and that was a deal breaker. Don't force me into a service that I've not had before, have no information on and go "well, our doctors require it and it's another $45 out of pocket." I have decided to go somewhere else for eye exams that don't force un-covered procedures on you. Editing to add after the reply from the eye place: This procedure was NOT recommended. It was REQUIRED and it was conveyed you have no choice if you want it done or not. If you say no, no check up. If you say yes, then you have to pay the $45 since it's not covered by insurance. Again, this is not a recommendation of a procedure if it is required and that requirement is only told after you book an appointment. And then you have to pay more for this procedure that is forced on you.

Poor communication. Unnecessarily difficult. Unprofessional. Complete waste of time…read more A page on their website (i.e. "Location, Hours and Contact") has a link to a site for ostensibly scheduling an appointment (i.e "Contact us now to schedule your appointment"). So, I did. Except, contrary to appearances, that doesn't actually schedule an appointment. Somebody from the office called a few days later to say they didn't actually have an available appointment. If the "Schedule and Appointment" site is not actually for that purpose, then be explicit about that. I got an exam elsewhere and then gave Kessler Optical a second chance because they supposedly carry a line of frames in which I was interested. I walked into the business during their stated hours of operation, only to be told they don't accept walk-ins. If that's their policy, then they should state that on their website. I should add that the woman at the front desk was unapologetic about any of this and unnecessarily difficult. If a business repeatedly fails to communicate clearly and inconveniences a customer as a result, then the business should acknowledge that and, ideally, try to make amends. Kessler Optical did none of that. I had limited time and needed to place an order for new glasses quickly before traveling for the holidays. Kessler Optical was a waste of precious time.

At the start of my appointment, a technician persistently brought up Lasik surgery, despite my disinterest. When I said "No, thank you," the receptionist gave a speech about how Lasik is actually cheaper than buying contacts. Interesting take. She also told me that it's a "one-and-done" fix, and thus, much more economically efficient than contacts. I have never once in my life been harassed like this, nor recommended Lasik. Clearly Chittick has some contract with an off-facility surgery site. My recommendation: make that a little less obvious. Next, I attempted to buy contacts through them. Big mistake. Chittick charged me almost double what my old optometrist charged me. At first I thought it was an insurance issue, but then I pulled up the contacts price with NO insurance, and was baffled. Chittick inflates their contacts prices by at least 200%. You are better off ordering your contacts through 1800-contacts or a different site, as Chittick would like to squeeze many extra dollars out of your pocket. This practice is especially hurtful for graduate students. I am making only 2k/month over the summer, and with rent taking about 50% of my paycheck, I do not have time for Chittick's games. If you visit this place, I am sorry. Best of luck.

I asked for gray lenses with a salesperson, but got green-ish lenses when I picked it up another day. A different lady named Cassandra who claimed to be the manager was there. Cassandra first tried to gaslight me into believing the green lenses are the gray ones that I asked for. I took out my original gray color lenses and showed her that it's not the same color. I nicely asked her if it's OK that they replace the lenses to the color that I wanted. She suddenly talked to me rudely. Her original word was: "I can change it for you, but I don't want to. Because no matter what color we give you, you won't be satisfied. You will just come back and ask for new colors again and again." Her bad attitude was out of nowhere. Then I explained the situation last week with the different salesperson. I asked for exactly the same color as my original lenses but with prescription. She kept repeating her passive aggressive words implying that I chose the green color myself, and was then unsatisfied and asking for change, implying that I was a dishonest customer. Cassandra then started gaslighting me by "I was there the whole time when you were working with Tony, I was sitting right next to you. I saw him showing all the lenses to you and you chose the green color." I knew it was not true, because only Tony was there when I went there last week. So I explained that "You were not there. You must have mistaken me of someone else." She started increasing her voice and be like: "No, I was sitting right next to you the whole time. IT IS YOU." I proposed looking at the camera and see if she was there. She started saying "ugh, dramatic." I got mad and asked her: "Were you calling me dramatic??" She replied: "No, I am not talking about you." I pointed out that LensCrafters has the 30 days guaranteed satisfaction, she simply replied rudely: "Yes, but you will never be satisfied. You will just come back and change colors again and again." At that point I was really mad but still trying to explain. She almost shouted: "YOU DO NOT INCREASE YOUR VOICE!!! YOU DO NOT! INCREASE YOUR VOICE" I said: "I can come back tomorrow and work with the salesperson that I talked to, but I think your attitude towards the customers should be better." She rudely replied: "You are the one increasing your voice and calling me a liar. I have been professional and nice all this time." Then she just started to file documents for other customers and ignore me. The experience with Cassandra was SO HORRIBLE. Her service was so unprofessional and rude, full of gaslighting, passive-aggressiveness, discrimination, and microaggression. She did not even listen to my when I explained. I eventually left the store feeling discriminated as an Asian customer and being accused to be a dramatic and dishonest customer.

Then on top of all of that now I have to go to some one else to try and SAVE my eye site!!!! As my pupils as two different sizes, I am now getting head aches behind my eyes, both eyes are so DRY i am miserable. (when I told him about all of this he to ld me to go get some visine!!

They talk bad about patients, right in the lobby, publicly saying rude and hurtful things to and about people. And some one might want to tell them COVID is over NO more masks, but you go there and that is the first thing they hand you even before they speak to you!!
