I have known them…read morefor so many years and the staff always are very welcoming with great eye contact and a smile. I was very pleased that Dr. Paul Gaudio was very thorough with my eye exam. He was able to point out right away that I needed surgery on both eyes. Mary one of the staff sat down with me and explained everything and the process that I need to follow. She also scheduled all my appts. that I needed after surgery. The office experience that I had with the receptionist was just Outstanding with a smile and answering all my questions professionally. I have referred other people there and will continue to do so!!!! I will rate this place a five stars!!! Thank you

Excellent care from initial visit through post-surgical care. Dr. Nicolas was recommended to me by…read moremy primary care doctor who had her own corrective surgery done by Dr.Nicholas. High praise for his care and manner. Office staff is also nice to deal with....pleasant and patient.

I just finished my first eye appointment with Dr. Khaliq. And I am quite pleased. Dr. Khaliq lives…read moreup to a lot of the fine words other reviews have written about him here and elsewhere. He spent quality time answering my questions without rushing me - this is a big deal for me - but even more importantly his answers rang with intelligence & experience & compassionate sincerity. He came up with a solution for an issue I have been having with binocular alignment, and he did it in a way that the two previous eye-doctors with much fancier offices couldn't see. Guess even eye doctors can be blind to some things. An example of the compassionate attitude present in this office: I am considering LASIK and I asked him at the end, "If I was a family member of yours and said 'I want to do LASIK', what would you say to me about the surgery?" He earnestly said: " I consider all family and patients the same, so no need to worry - and I'll tell you..." This attitude was backed up by his receptionist who told me a story of how he had dramatically helped her and seen her free of charge when she didn't have insurance - now she works for him, full-heartedly. Good crew here. Humble office, simple room & everything you need: solid intelligence, experience & good heart.

This is a small business and my insurance guided me here. I tried to overlook the "daycare" environment for the doctor and staff, but did have to mention the out of control kid was getting a bit loud when they were screaming their head off. That's actually minor compared the lack of expertise and guidance when fitting for new eye ware. Not being able to see without glasses, I relied upon their input to ensure my eyes would be centered in the lens, the glasses would fit good and look good. This did not happen. I ended up with oversized lenses without glare coating ON THE INSIDE, which severely inhibited my sight while I was driving and led to a slight vendor bender. When I went to see what could be done they had me pick out new frames, and after a 20 minute wait they stated my insurance would not cover new glasses and these would totally be at my expense. Not for one second did they volunteer to work with me or feel they had an obligation to make sure I could see properly when leaving their office after purchasing eye glasses that should have improved my vision. I was not asking for reimbursement for car repairs or for a full refund, I was expecting them to work with me and offer some type of a discount on a new pair of glasses as it had nothing to do with the insurance, but it had everything to do with their business model and inferior service level. I was simply told that I picked them out and it was my issue to deal with. Please avoid this business. They are pretty busy and there is no good reason why except that it is a convenient location. Let's go out of our way and patronize a store where customers matter.
