It's always a crap shoot when you move and must find a new doctor & dentist of some sort. If you've had a really good one and have to find a replacement you know how easy it is to end up in a bad situation with a new doctor or dentist. We've been fortunate so far in finding new doctors & a dentist since our move to Livonia. I would certainly consider myself fortunate for finding Marston Optometry. The previous reviewers all have it correct in stating how awesome this practice is. From the front desk staff, to the technician, to the optometrist, to the optician this place has exceeded my expectations. I have gotten to the place where I needed reading glasses and after researching a number of different places I chose Marston and am very glad I did. They were able to schedule an appointment that was convenient for me and wasn't several weeks out. I was greeted quickly and warmly by Carroll upon arriving and was only waiting a matter of a few minutes till Yolanda, optometric technician, came to get me. Yolanda explained every step in the process and seemed to genuinely love her job. Soon after Yolanda was finished, the doctor came in and completed my exam. No where in the process did the doctor try to sell me any products or embellish the results of my exam in order to up-sell me any unnecessary glasses. She was honest and explained everything in detail. After the exam, I was escorted to Mindy, optician, to discuss my options regarding reading glasses. I was concerned that this would now be the chance for them to try and sell me overpriced, unnecessary items. However, Mindy was very pleasant & helpful and not once tried to sell me anything or talk me into buying anything. She answered all of my questions and laid out all of my options without putting on the hard sell. I explained to Mindy that I was travelling out of the country for a couple of weeks and was hoping to get my glasses before I left. My request was rather challenging because this was only 1.5 weeks before I was scheduled to fly out. Nonetheless, Mindy told me that she works with several different labs and had one that she was confident could expedite my glasses. The Wednesday-Thursday before I was scheduled to fly out was when "Snowmageddon" hit SE Michigan, and I was concerned that this would delay my glasses. It was a pleasant surprise when Mindy called me to reassure me that my glasses should still be ready by Friday. In spite of the terrible weather Mindy called me Friday morning to let me know my glasses were in and could be picked up. Wow! So many businesses had closed die to the weather, yet the staff at Marston were still taking care of their patients. The staff at Marston has taken great care of me and I would highly recommend this practice to anyone that may need an optometrist. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!! I REPEAT DO NOT GO HERE! My mother has gone here for the last 25 years never had a problem, very loyal to this establishment until they tried to reprimand her for the stupidest thing ever. said the young staff member was crying for her talking about my nephews type 1 diabetes. The staff member told her that she Needed to be mindful of what she talks about and that she made two of her staff members cry... my Mother is a retired teacher she would never say anything political, inappropriate or insensitive. Now I realize some topics can be sensitive to others but the staffs unprofessionalism just lost them a loyal client. Doeant matter how good the Drs are if you have a SHITTTY front staff with bad customer service skills read more

Very thorough eye examination. Highly recommended. Everyone was so professional..Had no problems! I just didn't want my eyes dyalated. I wanted more, and I received that here at Marston..I highly recommend them! read more

I brought my 3 yr old in for an appointment with Dr. Carney. She was great. My hesitation in giving 5 stars is due to the optician. I called after the appointment to retrieve my daughter's prescription and was hassled when I asked for her PD. It was a simple request and instead of easily providing it they tried to sell me another pair of glasses. I had already purchased a pair through insurance and wasn't interested in buying another pair from them. I've never had trouble in receiving this info from any other Dr. I've since interacted with the same optician and have been met with the same attitude. I'll bring my daughter back to see the dr but I won't purchase another pair from this office. read more

Wonderful staff, kind, professional, honest. Did a thorough check and took their time. Very nice experience !

We have been patients of Marston Optometry for almost 17 years, we've worked with Dr. Marston, Dr. Carney and Dr. Humphrey. They have been a great resource to this family of four with all of our vision needs. Most recently, they've helped transition our teens into contacts, improved my computer vision with glasses and introduced us to the comfort of daily wear contacts (after wearing extended wear contacts for 25+ years, this was a welcomed change). We've been able to work through multiple vision issues over the years with their office. Their selection of glasses has satisfied two picky kids and they've went above and beyond to help replace a frame style that was listed as retired for one that doesn't like change. Overall, I would highly recommend this practice for any local family! read more

We have been in the area for about a year. I don't like the big box corporate eye care places, so I seek out small local businesses. Being new to the area, we didn't know where to go. After making some friends, I asked one of them and they told me about this office. So glad I asked. They're really friendly and helpful. The Dr. took the time that was needed to get everything right and very thorough. It's a good find. read more

I generally find the front desk folks somewhat unpleasant and snotty. Dr. Marston is very patient and good though so she makes up for it. You may find their slightly different hours either helpful or exceedingly annoying. I generally find it difficult to make it there when they are open and more than once have arrived there to find them closed for the entire day. The optometrists are below average in my opinion and you are forced to make an appointment with them and wait for them to ready themselves despite the fact that you will see the fiddle faddling around with nothing to do when you go there to see the eye doctor. Their glasses selection is also pretty sparse and they do not carry any Oakley which are the standard for athletic sunglasses that can be used for prescription. In fact they don't carry any worthwhile athletic sunglasses. Their regular frames aren't the coolest either. More on the doctor because that is what you care about. There are two doctors here. I primarily see Dr. Marston and really do like her. She is one of the best eye doctors I have seen. I don't view her as exactly cutting edge or hip to the latest things, but a good solid family eye doctor. She has spent a nice amount of time with me and if it were not for her I would never come here. I also worked with Dr.Carney once andshe seems quite good as well and finally got my prescription figured out with the astigmatism n whatever. read more

Great exam. Dr Carney is very thorough ran tests that I don't normally get at other optometric offices.

I highly recommend this Optometry office to everyone, The whole staff is excellent and Dr. Shea is the best. Took me many, many years to find staff I trust, let alone recommend. read more

Dr. Carney IS A ROCK STAR!! I came down with a very bad cold that complicated my sinus and even involved my eyes that I woke up with them shut. It was awful. I went to an urgent care center where the physician had to leave to attend an emergency at the hospital. I was there waiting and waiting and waiting. So I called Dr. Carney's answering service and she immediately answered to my needs. UNBELIEVABLE!! Thank Goodness for physicians like her. She followed up to see how I was doing. I'd take a bullet for her!! Thanks Dr. Carney. You're the BEST! Great service and attention. There wouldn't be anything I'd change except may entertain a little better variety of frames. The selection is generous but could provide a bit more variety. Anyway, Overall EXCELLENT Service and attention to patients needs. Thank you. read more

We started going here when we lived in Livonia and had a wonderful optometrist. Unfortunately, she does not work their anymore. I got glasses from Marston and they never fit me properly. I made an appointment to get them re-fit and waited in the waiting room for over 30 minutes. When I asked the front desk staff how much longer it would be (I expected this to be a quick in and out since I made an appointment) I was told it would be another 20 minute wait. Ended up leaving. Very frustrating. Will not be going back. read more

I have been a patient at Marston Optometry for as long as I can remember. Dr. Carol Marston-Foucher has always been very nice and through. She always remembers what business I am in and asks about it. Dr. Shea Ferree Carney is also very nice, and very knowledgeable. For a period of time while I did not have any sort of health insurance I just went to Costco. While I was able to save a little bit of money and the staff there was nice, there just is not any sort of comparison to the full service that Marston offers and has always offered! read more

The entire experience was very good but especially impressed with Dr. Marston-Foucher. Great manner, very thorough and actually explained what she was doing and why. What a concept! Will definitely come back. After several years, we've found a new (optometric) home. read more

Love Dr Carney, her patience and understanding. They take the care and time to make sure you're leaving seeing the very best. Thank you!

Really friendly staff, quick thorough eye exams. They took their time and helped me pick out the perfect glasses. They came in 5 days (not business days, calendar days) and they worked with my insurance. read more

great practice - the doctors really take the time to get to know you and do a thorough exam. If you are looking for optometrist that does more than just sell you glasses or contacts, then you should try them. read more

I chose Dr. Marston as my eye doctor when I moved to the area based on a personal recommendation from a doctor who was on the "new technology" committee for the state's optometric association. Dr. Marston has given me exceptional care that has balanced my career needs which includes 8 - 12 hours of reading every day, my vanity (contacts!), and my general health. She has a tremendous breadth of knowledge about vision that includes the latest technology/scientific data and the good judgment that comes with experience. Dr. Marston takes her time with patients, is never rushed and always attentively listens. If I had a problem that other's couldn't diagnose or treat, I would trust Dr. Marston to figure out the problem and effectively treat it. The staff is professional and caring. While they are not falling all over you with false smiles, the office staff has really gone the extra mile for me. They helped me sort through some insurance issues - without strong-arming me for immediate payment. If I have an issue with my vision they get me scheduled immediately. One time they even noticed I had left behind a book in the lobby. They called to tell me they had found it. When I arrived for my next appointment 6 months later, they pulled out my "lost" book and handed it to me with a smile! I drive 50 mins to see Dr. Marston. The quality of care is well worth the drive! read more

Fantastic from start to finish. Everyone was great and had no problem answering any questions. The place was exceptionally clean and they even had snacks while you waited in between. read more

My entire life I've been going to SVS Vision. I've been told by their "optometrist" that I could never wear contacts due to my astigmatism. Last year I decided to go to Marston Optometry based on online reviews and friends. I'm so happy I did! I've been successfully wearing contacts for a year! The doctors and office staff are very helpful and friendly. I also have had, for the first time in my life, a thorough eye exam. Very quick turn around on glasses and contacts! read more

Our family has been coming here for 10 plus years and we couldn't be happier with their service. Dr. Shea is great, we wish all Dr's had her upbeat attitude. The entire staff is very helpful and never misses anything. read more

Dr. Marston and Dr. Carney are professionals. Both doctors take the time to explain everything they are doing and answer questions. Been pleased with their services for over 15 years. read more

I had the most wonderful experience at this office! This was my first eye exam since grade school so I had a lot of concerns and worries. Dr. Shay and ALL her staff were very thorough and extremely friendly. Dr shay spent time answering all of my questions and I never felt rushed. She asked me at the end if I had any more question or concerns. I highly, highly recommend all my family and friends to this office! read more

Dr. Shea Ferree-Carney is very friendly, thorough, and knowledgeable. Since moving to Farmington Hills three years ago, it is no longer as convenient for me to get to the office for appointments but I have chosen to remain a patient because of the level of care myself and my daughter have received. My daughter recently began vision therapy with Julie, and she is wonderful as well! read more

Dr Carol is an excellent optometrist. I have been going to her practice for 28 years. The office manager has been there almost that whole time so that should tell you something. The staff couldn't be nicer and you will be treated like a person not a number. You will have a very thorough eye exam with the doctors utmost attention. I would recommend them to anyone and do!!! read more

I did quite a bit of research to find a low vision specialist which is reasonable close to home who takes my insurance. When I called to make an appointment, I was told they no longer accept low vision patients. This practice is listed all over the place as being low vision specialists. It's ridiculous, and discriminatory that they do not accept a patient with low vision. Stay away from these doctors. read more

Dr Marston is a very caring and friendly eye professional who is very thorough in her exams and treatment.

After seeing the reviews on Yelp, I made an appointment. I was super impressed with their professionalism and kindness. Within minutes you feel valued and appreciated. I would highly recommend. read more

Dr. Marston-Foucher is a very competent and personable professional with many career accomplishments. Her eye examinations are thorough and she explains what she is doing, why she is doing it, and what she is finding throughout the exam. As a patient this immediate feedback gives me a great deal of confidence that I am getting a thorough eye exam. I was seen promptly on arrival for my appointment. The office is clean and comfortable, and is kept up to date with current technology in the field. read more
