I do not recommend this business at all! If I could rate this place a negative number I would. To…read morestart, with the front desk staff, they are like robots, show no emotion. Lack of empathy. Smiles are free, if they are not happy where they work then please work elsewhere out of the service industry. The check in kiosks. Most of patients are elderly do think they can see well to have to use those. The staff does not offer assistance to help them either. Next when they call your name out they walk you, through the hall where the staff is standing around on both side against wall. Just chit chatting gossiping I imagine about the patients that are walking by who knows. Then they take you in the office where most of the time the person is very unfriendly off standing. The doctors see you quickly give you the feeling of ok move a long, next. Not professional on either parts. The front office personnel should be trained or retrained or fired if they do not improve. This company is strictly about the money. They charge us upfront for everything and do not bill the insurance correctly, so the only person affected is the patient, not the insurance company or Vantage eye. When you ask questions they look at you like why are you asking questions. Well I did pay for a service they should answer my questions. Unfortunately here you pay to receive the most horrible treatment and service.

I went in to get eye glasses from their eye center. I was quoted a price and paid half in advance…read more When I received an invoice I went to print it for my records and found they had increased my bill by $200. I have never been quoted a price and then have it increased with no explanation. Needless to say, I will never go back to get glasses from them again.

A straightforward and nice experience. My first time experience too…read more I went in to go for the $79 2 Pair Eyeglasses and Eye Exam deal (I have no vision insurance). The examiners and assistants were nice and not many questions was really needed for me to ask. Even when I said "no" to additional tests during the eye exam (costs more money), I was proceeded to the next thing without any questions. As long as you ask questions for things you are confused about, from me experience you will get a straightforward answer. I even has some nice small talk with one of the assistants.

Prior to this incident, I would've given this place 5 stars. I have been coming here since 2021 and…read moreI've never had an issue with their service or my glasses and their prices are fair. I had an appointment in late April, placed my son & I's glasses order & received the first week of May. My glasses were not as expected. The transition was not placed in the correct frame. I called right away & their was no solution offered. It was the end of the day, so I understood. I attempted to contact the manager, Amanda, for over two weeks after this before making contact. She agrees to order the corrected lenses & NEVER discussed pricing so I'm assuming their going to make their wrong, right. Nope. Now, fast forward to yesterday, I went to pick up the replacement lenses. Amanda was not there. I should've waited for Amanda, but I was already there and I assumed it was going to be a better experience. Wrong. The employee, I believe Mayeli (short, Hispanic female with glasses), helps me. And I absolutely HATED the replacement lenses. They did not look good on my frame. She asks me THREE times with an attitude "so do you want them or not?!". I was baffled. The alternative was to pay an additional $70 to keep the transition in my original frame after I was already inconvenienced. This place is no longer worth the hassle & clearly do not value making things right when THEY screw up. Beware.

Alrighty, I waited a while before writing this review. My appointment was back in May…read more I have to be honest I've never had an vision appointment inside a Walmart before. I happened to come here out of convince. Dr. Pham was really nice. However, she wasn't very mindful of timing. I've let her know I had a hard stop at 12, because I needed to leave to get to work on time. I've let her know my hard stop was at 12. She wanted to do a bunch of tests on me, which took a lot longer than what I scheduled for. At 12:05pm, we finished our first round of tests, and she wanted to do more. I said no, I had a hard stop. It was already 12:05pm. She seemed kind of pushy about me taking the second around of tests, not matter at what costs. The more you tests, the more you bill I guess. So I called into Walmart to stock up on contacts, and apparently they don't take orders over the phone. Also they don't provide one an extra pair of contacts to hold you over, till you receive them. I had to call over to Dr. Pham's office to see if they can get a spare. It's $25 for the spare. AND they don't even have my exact prescription. She' definitely nickel & dime her clients. I'm definitely over it to be honest, and will be switching providers ASAP. I'm just disappointed that the customer service isn't great to be honest.

After numerous unsuccessful attempts to secure a appointment with my previous doctor, I opted to…read moresee Dr. Pham. Her practice is located inside Walmart's - N. Davis Road location. Dr. Pham exceeded my expectation. She thoroughly examined my eyesight for eyeglass and contact lenses prescription. And performed a dilated eye examination. Dr. Pham thoroughly explained her findings and recommendations. The eye examination was a little over an hour long. I'm pleased with the professional care and service provided by Dr. Pham and her assistant during my visit.
