After going to a few different places throughout the years (Thoma, Wing, etc) I finally found what…read moreI was looking for! My first experience at Giovanetti Eyecare impressed me. I came in for an acute eye problem and I could not possibly be happier with how I was treated and the attention to detail on the exam. 1) I was able to be squeezed in the same day due to the fact that I was having an acute issue that day. Dr. Joe stuck around when he was finished just to see me. 2) My eye exam was very thorough. 2 different tests were able to be completed in office to give me peace of mind. Dr. Joe took almost two hours of his time being very sure to rule out any serious issues. This meant a lot to me. 3) The staff was very friendly, professional. Certainly every visit doesn't warrant such an in depth appointment. However any doctor that would spend so long and stay late to me is a testament that they truly care about their patients. I'll be getting my next eye exam here and I would say that at least on the west side of Cincinnati Giovanetti has to be the best around.

My husband and I both wanted regular prescriptions for near sightedness. We received reader…read moreprescriptions. Called back and they could not give us the RX we wanted. A year later billed us for a missed appointment that they never told us about. I wrote a letter and received no response-the bills came every month. Bad business practice.

I recently moved to Cincinnati and needed a new optimist. After conducting research for about a…read moremonth, I landed on Dr. Hamillton, Hyde Park Optometrist. My eye exam was the MOST thorough and Dr. Hamilton explained every step with precision and humor. Importantly, I learned why eye glasses ordered from lesser committed "eye professional" offices do not work as prescribed - they are made with inferior plastics - something you will not see endorsed from Dr. Hamilton. Only the best because he and his team truly care about their clients wellbeing. My research paid off and I hope this review helps you on your journey to find the right optometrist. Truly an exceptional experience!

5 stars for Dr. Guappone. 4 stars for the pushy…read moreneed-to-buy-your-glasses here pitch. -- I found Hyde Park Optometrists thanks to Yelp (see Yelpers, your contributions REALLY make a difference in peoples lives!) My husband and I actually booked back to back appointments. I haven't been to the eye doctor since I was in 5th grade, mainly because I claim to have perfect vision, but after not being able to see (especially while driving) my family banded against me and made me go (insert mad face). And I'll admit, i was mainly not going because I thought it was because I was getting older and/or possibly because I am scared to death of that eye puff machine. Basically I'm Rachel off friends in the episode "The One With Joey's Big Break" and also where Rachel goes to the eye doctor, gets some drops and everyone has to hold her down to put them in, yeah that's actually based on my life story. ANYWAY -- the doc tells me the eye puff machine is old skool and that technology is no longer in use. Now they use these super high tech camera things and it's not *as* scary. After the camera screenings etc. the eye exam was where I seriously almost lost my shit. Dr. Guappone 1) looks like Bill Nye. 2) IS THE SMARTEST MOST ARTICULATE MAN ON EARTH (well at least in the eye doc world). He didn't give me some BS medical terms. He actually broke down what was wrong in terms I could understand and even demonstrated on a model, and as a visual learner I was super appreciative of this! Also as others have said, he is very thorough. When I started off my saying I was a perfectionist, he went on to say he was too - and hence the through exam to make sure that the exam matched up to the camera readings. I just could not believe the amount of time he took to explain both to me and my husband about our situations, preventative health, and plan moving forward. It was a breath of fresh air and seriously eliminated (well almost) my fear of going to the doctor. I cannot reccomend him enough! The only negative and -1 star. I felt like the glasses selection was a bit outdated. They had some trendy designers, but not nearly enough or in the styles I wanted. Although the young man helping me was funny and enthusiastic I was put off by how insistent he was when trying to get me to purchase glasses through them. I literally just learned I needed glasses, if I have to wear them on my face every day - I want and need to find the ones I actually like! And again, as a perfectionist do some reserach first. Albeit super friendly, would lay off the sales pitch. Overall cannot reccomend this place enough and I will certainly be back for my ongoing check-ups!
