I've been going to Valerie Frimtzis OD for many years located inside Costco. Very professional and…read moreefficient care with state of the art diagnostic equipment. After checking in, you run through some tests that the OD will review with you during the eye exam. Then, after your prescription is noted, you will be issued a paper prescription to use to order new eyeglasses and how convenient that the Eyeglass Department is right outside the OD's office. Awesome! Eyeglasses are ready for pickup within 10 days. What a difference with a new pair of eyeglasses!!!

This optometrist has been in Costco for quite some time and I'm surprised there aren't more reviews…read moreand you have to wonder why there are only a few. She has customers for the mere convenience of being located inside Costco. Not a fan and won't be going back to Valerie. There is another optometrist that also works in her office and she is much nicer and understanding. She and the staff are the only reasons this place is getting stars. She doesn't have any bedside manners and quick to not believe you. She doesn't take youth seriously, in fact she laughed at how my child (a young teen) tried to explain to her his experience with contacts. He felt uncomfortable after that and so did I for how she made him feel. I did get short with her to keep this appt moving and to just finish it out only because we were vested in the process of the appt. Bottom line, I would pick the other doctor or go somewhere else altogether than go to Valerie.

I've been a patient here for at least two years, now. Dr. Ramolia and her staff are wonderful and…read moreI've had such a positive experience here. I recently decided on lasik thanks to Dr. Ramolia's encouragement and guidance. It took a while to say "yes" but when I finally did, I was well taken care of and have done all post-ops at Beacon Optometry. I've also had a dry eye treatment done here and throughout my appointments, Dr. Ramolia has been transparent, hands-on and super honest about my options. I highly recommend this place because of its excellent customer service!

Just had my second dry eye treatment session. Can't say enough good things about it! Dr. Ramolia…read moretook great care of me as always. Saw a difference after the first session a few weeks back but this time was ever MORE of a difference. Dark circles have definitely decreases along with the redness I would get too. Didn't realize how much my eyes were in need of it. The Optilight and OptiLift are serious breakthroughs for eye health. Best decision ever. Have two more sessions to go for the full treatment. Looking forward to them! Thanks again Dr Ramolia!!!

About the eye exams only: My exam was supposed to be with Dr. Rhodes, but was with a different…read moredoctor. Pricey, and the doctor was on auto-pilot. He was masked, of course, and spoke quite softly. (Even the staff at the desk chuckled about this. I didn't). I asked him to speak more loudly, which he did for about 30 seconds then sunk back to inaudible. His accent made things even more difficult. In addition, he really was on auto-pilot, probably after having said similar things to hundred of previous patients. I think he might have said a number of important things about the eye exam, but I couldn't make out what he was saying. I figured I'd just read it in his report on the eye exam, but all I received was a printout of my prescription, nothing about the results of the exam. I would not go back there for an exam. Too much money, too little information.

Took me almost week to get an appointment as the receptionist was not very good at returning my phone calls. Finally get an appointment for last Saturday at 12:15p. Get there 12:07p sign the paperwork, get started with the tests the receptionist. 45 minutes later I am still waiting to get in. No word as to why I am not seeing the Dr. A patient had to help reload the cc paper so he could get his receipt. I decide I had spent more time than usual get up walk out drive home. Pull into my driveway to get a call from the receptionist "Did you leave?" Me: "um YES" Receptionist: "ok" Really just ok....thanks not going back

I have had previous doctors make it difficult because they wanted me to buy contacts through them. Thank you! I will definitely be back!
