I appreciate the focus on customer service and understanding what I want, which unfortunately seems to be harder and harder to find.

A week later I received a text that my order was ready, odd since I had not confirmed the trials worked but while near by went in to pick them up. Was told it was a duplicate message that went out by mistake. No problem, while I am here let's go ahead and order the contacts. Eight weeks later I call to see when they will be ready, told "sorry the order was never placed". Now have to wait another month, maybe two for them to arrive. Add to this my doctor was late and after 30 minutes had to see another doctor. Too much hassle for what is an above average market price point. Edit: I received a call from Dr. Dowdy and am amending my review. He reached out not to ask me to change it but to help find a satisfactory resolution to my concerns. Suffice to say we an achieved that. It's when things go sideways you have a chance to distinguish yourself. Thanks for striving to be better.

Once upon a time ago LensCrafters inside the Galleria carried Chanel but they no longer do. But…read morethat's ok because LensCrafters is out of network with my insurance company. I had contacted Chanel to see if anyone in the area carried Chanel optical frames and they referred me to Optical Expressions! I was a little skeptical on traveling far (Mind you, I traveled about an hour just to get my eye exam and frames. It's well worth the two hour trip to and from home). but they have a huge selection of frames which is awesome! More than I expected actually. Anyways, upon arriving, I was greeted and helped by Lisa and literally a month later she still as sweet as can be. The frames I wanted, were not in stock and she had ordered them for me. She told me it usually takes 15 days since they're being ordered out of the US. They came in an week later! Faster than I expected which was awesome. So instead of me traveling back out there, she had mailed them to me which was a huge plus! The glasses also arrived within two days after they had my lens made. She was just awesome from the start!!! I also had Dr. Julie to do my exam, she was super nice and friendly! I would highly recommend both ladies. Actually the entire staff was very friendly! Overall, If you're looking for an optical place with an extensive selection of frames and beyond awesome service....Optical Expressions is the place to go!

Her appointment was at 9am and we arrive around 8:30ish and she was seen right away after waiting briefly for 5 minutes. I have been here previously just to get an eye exam but I would only recommend this place if you are someone who suffers from eye problems and need some sort of corrective surgery to help with your vision. It is more so for older people who have had issues with their eyes due to aging. I personally will stick to other places just got to get a normal eye exam but recommend this for anyone who needs expert care and/or surgery.

Koetting made the cut and i have zero regrets. As a first time patient who has not been to the optometrist since i moved here, I was impressed from the time I placed a call to request an appointment until the moment I arrived for my appointment last week. I was greeted promptly and they used state of the art equipment to administer various tests, which were thorough and the technician explained each test in easy to understand terms. Dr Nick was awesome and honest. I had been told i would need surgery for cataracts soon, but he assured me I do not and they are currently working on my new lenses, which he assured me will be a great improvement over what i was using. If you want the best, this is your place. You won't be disappointed.
