BEWARE!!!! Do not go to this place unless you want the assistant to be your eye doctor!!! The…read moreassistant who is unqualified did not listen to me when I said my contacts that was given to me as a trial pair hurts and keeps popping out. She insisted I feel the order and that was normal. Later when I got an eye infection from the improper fit that she fitted me for not the eye doctor. Now they have charged me over and over and wants me to pay again for another set of contacts that should have been taken care of when I said my contacts hurt. You cannot see your eye doctor again because they block you.. Worst place I have ever been. When I finally did see an eye doctor her first thing was you was fitted improperly and we can refit you with a proper pair.. even told me my contacts was under warranty. But when I went back the ASSISTANT again blocked me from the doctor and wants me to pay full price again. Do not go to this place it is not the same anymore. I would give them a 0 if I could.

I would say after my first session with Yelena, I was thinking it's possible. Her patience, coaching, and belief in me helped immensely. I had other training sessions scheduled, and it helped build confidence. She is amazing, but by the last one, I was doing it with ease. I was and am tickled and love that I can do this, and THEY WORK perfectly. What a gift. I love them. The bonus was Doc Jodi told me, " I don't look so old with my contacts in". LOL, this place makes you feel great and gets the job done. The girls up front are always smiling, and they give you chocolate. I say give Yelena a raise, heck, give everybody a raise.

I would not recommend this practice to anyone, especially those from minority backgrounds. The…read morecustomer service was absolutely terrible from the moment I walked in. The front desk staff were rude, dismissive, and showed zero compassion toward patients. What made it worse was the blatant racism. Staff members were visibly unwelcoming toward Asian and Muslim patients, and I personally witnessed them mocking ethnic names -- laughing among themselves in a way that was humiliating and completely unprofessional. This is a medical office, not a place where patients should have to tolerate discrimination. On top of that, their appointment policy is absurd. If you are even five minutes late -- despite traffic, parking, or any other reasonable circumstance -- they will cancel your appointment on the spot and move on without any grace or understanding. No call, no warning, no flexibility whatsoever. This place is not a welcoming environment. The behavior of the staff is harassing, disrespectful, and frankly unacceptable for any business -- let alone a healthcare provider. I urge anyone from a diverse background to look elsewhere for eye care where you will actually be treated with dignity.

This is too bad, honestly, because it's a place absolutely dedicated to the best possible experience and the best possible fit for you and your eyes. They're very flexible and very familial, and dedicated to up-to-date technology and hand-crafted accuracy. I also deeply appreciate that they've always had good advice for me on how to afford something I -like-. I've never been upsold on anything, unlike larger commercial places, but I've never been sold anything that felt like a compromise either. It pays to note I am an inherited customer from my long-time optometrist [a dear man who kept careful notes so he could cheerfully ask me how life had gone since I saw him last]. It is a testament to the skill and warmth of Doctors Lindsay and Kurt Jung that I have not suffered the least hiccough or disappointment from the transition when he retired. As long as this office is open and I am within 200 miles of it, I will continue to come here, happily driving from out of town for the experience [which I am doing currently].

It can be very difficult finding providers who are caring and patient, but I was blown away by how easy they made it and the care they showed my mom.

Do NOT purchase the…read moreGroupon for this place and only go if you have vision insurance that will cover the ridiculous cost. The staff was friendly and Dr. Aslop was awesome and very competent, but even after purchasing the $55 Groupon I was out $284 for a total of $339. It was supposed to include an eye exam and $125 toward a pair of frames. Okay, I can pay for the lenses. Those normally aren't too bad. I was charged $50/lense then $75 for anti-glare and another $25 for installation. I was given a $125 credit for a pair of $209 frames. That's where the $84 came from. My recommendation would be go to Sam's or Walmart then send your prescription to Warby Parker. You can get frames and lenses for $95 from Warby Parker which includes anti-reflective prescription lenses, anti-scratch, free shipping and 30-day return. You should be able to get an eye exam and stylish glasses for about $200. Lesson learned.
