Give this place a chance!
My grandmother has been going to Dr. Ghafouri for years. When we heard that the hospital was closing I urged her to find a new doctor but she said that the doctor assured her that his practice was staying. I was skeptical so I decided to join her and ask the hard pressed questions. Once we got there I was shocked to see that they had remodeled and the place looks 1000 times better than before. That was a good sign. After all, why would they remodel if they were closing?!
Dr. Ghafouri and the staff was pleasant as usual even though I saw a bunch of new faces. That's no big deal tho since I hadn't accompanied my grandmother on one of her doctor visits in quite some time. After we checked out we were told that she should visit the optical shop to have her prescription filled. I asked where it was and they directed me to a small corner in the back of their office. I didn't mean to be rude but I laughed and made a couple jokes about how small and tucked away it was. Little did I know, the joke was about to be on me.
I walked my grandmother over to the tiny corner and there we met Sabrina. She greeted us with a smile and asked how she could help. We gave her the prescription and from there we were amazed. She started with all of the information about my grandmother's insurance and prescription. She explained what her prescription was for, how they should be worn, and what the numbers mean. No one has ever explained what all those numbers mean and I really appreciate her for taking the time to help us understand it better. Then, she picked out frames that would accommodate my grandmother's prescription which was another wow factor because I didn't know that some prescriptions don't fit every frame. Up until that point I was pleased with Sabrina's disposition but I wasn't sold on this tiny shop. I mean how good could this place be right? So while she was occupied with my grandmother I decided to look around.
I was SHOCKED!!! They have name brand frames!!! Not like Walmart where they try to convince you that it's a name brand when it's not. They have MCM, Kate Spade, Marc Jacobs, Ray Ban, Kenneth Cole, and so many more. I was speechless. On top of that, the frames styles are so unique and really really cute. I didn't expect a little place like this to have such a high end feel to it. I ended up buying two pairs of sunglasses just for me! Sabrina helped my grandmother find a fly new pair of glasses too. She was so happy! She told Sabrina she was officially one of her granddaughters!
I read the other review after we left and realized that things are totally different now. Sabrina is so warm and welcoming. I vaguely remember the other lady but I know for sure we have never had an experience like this with her. This place is legit! I will be bringing my husband and son back in to get their glasses too. Give it a chance and you won't be disappointed! We will be definitely be back. read more
