Pantops Branch: I…read morechose the Pantops (Peter Jefferson Pkwy) office after discovering that it was much closer to where I live. I had already visited other MyEyeDr offices to shop and compare, as I was looking to get a backup pair of prescription sunglasses. I found most of the other offices far more customer-friendly than this one. With the exception of Avory, who was most impressive in her courtesy, professionalism and superb customer service skills, I found the front staff lacking in their approach to customer service. Unfortunately, I did not have an opportunity to work with Avory. However, I continually observed her performance with other customers while I was working with Rashonda. Avory genuinely seemed happy to be working there and always verbally welcomed guests as they entered the office. Other staff appeared to have a perfunctory "just going through the motions" attitude about their work. I am rating this office three stars, rather than only two stars, because everyone seemed to be technically competent in their trade. Thus, if you care only about technical proficiency, then this office is fine. But if you're like me and you want not only technical competence from your eye doctor experience, but a friendly, engaging interaction where you feel welcomed and glad you came, then I don't think the Pantops (Jefferson Parkwy) office is your best option. If you are lucky to work with Avory, then you should walk away feeling very pleased with your experience. Otherwise, with the other front staff, I recommend looking elsewhere. I certainly plan to choose another MyEyeDr office after I pick up my current pair of sunglasses soon! Thank you, Avory, for setting a good role-modeling example for your colleagues. I hope they will heed your example of stellar, professional and friendly customer service! ******* Shenandoah Titus, Esq. Chief Counsel, Police Oversight USA www.policeoversight.us

When we opened our doors for business in 1984, we understood then, as we do now, that there are a variety of places where you can go to purchase eyewear. Our commitment to you is to always take the time to help you select the right pair of glasses that suit your appearance and style, and then to adjust them properly so that they not only look good on you, but they also feel good when you wear them. As long as you own them, you can bring them back to us to be adjusted if you ever feel the need. Our reputation means everything to us!

They were on top of insurance info and not pushy when I was selecting the perfectly weird "me" frames. From start to finish this was a great experience. The office is extremely clean and the entire staff was COVID conscious, wearing masks for the entire process. A staff member was out sick so I spent most of my visit with the doc. He is extremely nice and friendly. Also funny and witty with his dad jokes. I never felt rushed and he took a genuine interest in my eyes. He explained everything before we started so I was aware of what I would be experiencing. He made it clear we could stop at any point if I needed to. I felt he was extremely professional and answered all of my questions. He explained all the results of my tests. It made me feel better about the process once I understood some of my eye issues. Thank you to everyone at Horizon Family Eye Care. You made this new resident feel welcome and at home. I will be back for all of my eye care needs.
