This is the WORST place I've ever gone too. The ratings and review on this place does NOT add up at all. Such a unprofessional place! I saw the one optometrist they have, and he was so rude to me. I had a lot of reasonable questions during the exam and he got so annoyed by it. He didn't even answer half of my questions. Also I asked him to not write down the brand he wanted me to have on my prescription, and he made it such a big deal. Going back an forth about him wanting to write his recommended brand on there. When I left his room, he quietly said "just go already" in such a demising way. The lady working with him, kept asking me to pay before I had even done my exam (they only take cash!). She seemed so worried that I wouldnt pay - how can you treat a costumer like that? I dont understand the service, approach and logic they run. And the place and equipment is beyond outdated!!! I did not feel good after leaving this place. DO NOT GO HERE read more

Disappointing experience, contradictory information, and poor post-sale support…read more I decided to try Westwood Eye Care based on their promises to work closely with patients to find the right frames and resolve any issues if things didn't go as expected. I am usually far too busy to write online reviews and almost always let minor issues go; I only spend the time to write a review when a situation is so egregious that I feel I have no other option. Unfortunately, my experience here crossed that line and fell far short of what was promised. During my initial consultation, I was guided through my options and decided to upgrade to premium progressive lenses. I trusted that I was being given complete, accurate guidance. However, when the glasses arrived, I experienced a severe glare that made reading difficult--an issue I had never encountered with my previous glasses. When I brought this up, I was told the problem was that the frames were too wide. Given that I relied on their expert staff to advise me during selection, this was frustrating to learn after the fact. To resolve the glare issue, I agreed to switch to transition lenses and select different frames. While I was promised a turnaround time of 7 to 10 business days, it has now been three weeks. Despite providing my name and date of birth every time I called so staff could look up my file, I received completely conflicting stories: One representative informed me that my lenses had already arrived and were simply waiting to be fitted into the frames. When I followed up later after hearing nothing, another representative told me the lenses had not arrived at all and had no explanation for why I was told otherwise. To make matters worse, I was subsequently informed that I could not exchange my frames because insurance would not cover it, and they offered to sell me a second pair at a discounted rate instead. At no point during my original purchase was it indicated that frame sales were final or non-exchangeable, especially when the issue stemmed from being advised into an ill-fitting frame in the first place. Addressing frame fit or prescription issues should be a basic part of customer service, not an added cost shifted onto the patient. Despite their marketing promises to ensure customer satisfaction after delivery, the gap between what was promised and what was delivered was huge. Between the severe lack of organization, conflicting communication, and refusal to take responsibility for an incorrect frame recommendation, this has been an exhausting process. At this point, I simply want my original frames and lenses back so I do not have to deal with this establishment any further. If you value your time and expect clear, honest communication, I strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere. I have changed my review from 1 star to 2 starts since, after my complaint, the business offered to replace my frames free of charge. I will be waiting to get my glasses in 7 to 10 business days...
