Dr. Katz herself is a very knowledgable, caring doctor who has provided me with more than just vision care. I have relied on her expertise to see me through (no pun intended) a rather serious eye problem that I had previously only trusted an eye surgeon to care for. She has proven herself to be a more thorough and caring provider than the specialist! The staff at AVC is super nice and one of the women who works in the reception area (forgot her name) is especially knowledgable about insurance -- a rare find these days! The waiting area is small and comfy, with complimentary coffee, TV, and magazines. There is never a very long wait. I do not feel overly pressured with sales pitches to purchase glasses or lenses here, which is refreshing. That said, I did purchase glasses for my child, who is very picky and actually found a pair to their liking. On top of all that, this facility has state-of-the art machinery for testing your eyes. (How cool to see a picture of the inside of your own eyeball!)

Not happy with their customer service. I came to Advanced because they were 5 minutes from my…read morehouse, had a high rating here, decent selection of frames and accepted my insurance. I spent over $700 out-of-pocket on a pair of glasses, and my insurance paid for the rest. Within a month a lens scratched and Advanced repalced it. Less than a year after my purchase what looked like a grain of sand became embedded in a lens. Also I noticed the red paint was starting to chip from the metal frame. I came in and immediately the person at the counter said something like sorry, we no longer carry that brand. Not understanding why that should be my problem, I asked to speak to the manager. He was pretty rude & said there was nothing that could be done about the paint and then acted like he would do me a big favor - rather than standing by his product - by replacing the lens, while trying to make me feel like this was my fault. He expalained that he had the same brand glasses and multiple children who were regularly grabbing them off his face, yet he never had a problem with these glasses. That's a great story, but I'll never return here!

The last time I tried I ended up at a place that cared more about selling than my eye care. I won't name the place but they wouldn't allow me to take my prescription anywhere else for contacts or glasses. I had to buy them there for 3 times the price according to them. It was a huge ordeal and I'm glad that's over. Different story here! I made an appointment online for a few days out. Pretty seamless process. Upon exam they were very concerned about covid and had all precautions in place. Contact lens Exam was great and they even made me glasses in 5 minutes! Very friendly and courteous group of people. I would recommend them to anyone.

Needless to say I will not hesitate to strongly consider them when I am ordering my new glasses.

When we went back for a follow up yesterday, the charge was $225 which he was not in with the eye dr for more than 3 minutes. They asked him how he felt while using them and that was it. The follow up wasn't for anything except to try to get us to purchase the contact lenses from them. I was not told beforehand that the follow up was going to be almost 3 times what the initial visit was. We will never be back. If you do decide to go there you better ask the cost beforehand.

When I tell her I'm there to pick up contacts she'll tell me she can't help me, step away and stand in the kiosk not assisting other customers, while Kyle runs around frantically taking care of ALL of the customers. Please promote Kyle or at least give him a raise! That said... I had the unfortunate experience of speaking with Deanne tonight. I wanted to order a 6 month supply of my contacts. My prescription - which hasn't changed over the past couple of years - is due to expire this month. As all contact lens wearers know, your prescription is good for one year, however my insurance (BCBS) just this year changed their benefit to only allow eye exams once every year and a half. I am a teacher and sadly cannot afford to cover the costs of an eye exam and contact fitting fee out of my own pocket. Since my eyes have been stable, my optometrist's office advised me to order contacts in advance to carry me through the additional 6 months. At first Deanne refused to place my order. Once I explained my situation to Deanne she begrudgingly asked for my card number. I typically order a 3 month supply so i asked her to confirm it woukd be a 6 month. She very condescendingly told me how many contacts would be in each box and said "so yes it will be 6 months." Then, as I began to give her my card number, she rudely interrupted me telling me it wasn't a Visa (it is). Exhausted, I asked if I could just come in with cash. I asked for her name and she proudly told me it was Deanne, and that she was the manager. I'll now be trying to find another discount provider for my contacts. Perhaps BJs has better customer service.
