A good optometrist is hard to find - thank goodness for New York Optometric…read more I just moved to Syracuse, and I needed to get a pair of glasses adjusted - badly. I wasn't able to find an optometrist through "normal" means (ie., asking around, searching for reviews, etc.), so I went to one that I had seen in Armory Square. When I realized that said place wasn't going to work (see reviews for Spec's), I complained to a friend, who recommended New York Optometric. I went straight over and found that they were slammed. It was during lunch hour, there were three or four groups of people looking at glasses, and there were only two people on staff. Despite this, they managed to handle each customer quickly and seamlessly, and I was in and out within 15 minutes. Lou, the owner, adjusted my difficult glasses with ease, and I'm finally able to wear them. AND he didn't charge me a cent to do it (even though I had bought the glasses somewhere else). He waved as I left and said that if they didn't work, to come back, and they'd be happy to take another look at them. And one thing's for sure: I will definitely be back to New York Optometric.

After having a negative experience with an eye doctor at one of the large chains, I asked my…read morefriends which optomitrist they would recommend in the Syracuse area. Krzyzak Eyecare was recommended more than anyone else, so I decided to give them a try, and I'm very happy that I did. It did take a few months to get in there initially, so if you are reading this and thinking about schedueling an appointment, plan accordingly. While I usually hate waiting, I considered this to be a good sign that people are happy here and that I was making a good choice. For my exam, I met with Dr. Michael Krzyzak, who I felt was very personable and did an excellent job explaining what he was doing and what the best options were for my situation. After the exam I met with the absolutely wonderful Alicia, who helped me pick out my new frames and was very thorough in making sure that she had the perfect measurements for my new progressive lenses. When someone knows what they are doing like she did, it adds a whole new level of value to buying your glasses in house, rather than online. And when I came back to pick up my new glasses, she made me feel like a VIP even though I am new to the practice. The whole experience was everything that I could have asked for and I'm so grateful to have found an eyecare team that I have complete confidence in and will now stick with.

I have been here twice. The first visit was with Dr Wells and the second with Michael Krzyzak. Both…read morevisits were a great experience. Both doctors took the time to explain things so that I understood my eyes, issues, etc... versus my prior eye doctor who would say, "you have astigmatism". With no further explanation. I appreciated the time spent with me and taken to confirm that I had no further questions. I did not feel rushed at any time. The optician who assisted with my contacts was also very nice and patient - if you haven't worn contacts, what a task learning to put them in and out! You've been warned! She was encouraging and never made me feel rushed. They've got a new patient to add to their roster and I would encourage anyone I know to go there too.

After cataract surgery my eyeglass script needed to be changed. I gave my frames to them to send…read moreout for new script to be installed. They told me approximately 2 weeks. I called after 2 weeks and they we not in. I called a few days later, still not in. they kept telling me they didn't know why they we not in. All I kept getting was NO ANSWERS!! I asked why didn't they call their vendor. 4 weeks later glasses came in I opened the glass case put a soft cloth on them to clean and the frames broke in my hand. I will never go back to these Jokers again. There are many good eye care places in our area, this is not one of them!!

I went in today to have a regular eye exam. The doctor said my eyes didn't change very much at all…read moreand I said well you know I usually wear my contacts so he looked in my file and said well your contact prescription is pretty much the same. Do you want to order some contacts? I said sure. So I got to the desk to check out and the woman behind the desk said we will bill your insurance company but today you need to pay $59.99 for a contact exam. I told her I did not have a contact exam and she said well you did and you are being charged for it. I said the contact exam is a different exam. I asked her to get the doctor and she refused!!!!! I had only one exam for my regular eyesight. She proceeded to tell me if I order contacts I gotta pay for an exam. I told her I'm not paying for any exam nor do I want any contacts. The doctor is great, but I do not appreciate trying to be ripped off for a charge for a service that I did not receive. I will never go back there again.

Ive been coming to this place for awhile because it was convenient for our family.

He was very knowledgeable and took me through each pretest calmly and thoroughly. I then got to see the doctor after a series of tests on my eyes. I actually saw Dr. Malara today with his assistant, Joshua. I appreciated. Dr. MaLara's candidness with me and suggesting cataract surgery. They also tested my retinas which came out fine. At the end, I met with a technician named Dawn who explained my options for eyewear and gave me my updated prescription. This is, by far, probably the best optometrist and business in the Syracuse area! - Dr. Debbie Anderson

I've been having a troubling time with this office. The staff are very kind, however there has been…read moremany issues with my orders. My appointment was in November at which time I had ordered Trial Contacts and they said it would be either delivered to them or my home address. All of November and most of December passes. No calls and no deliveries. After Christmas I had called them to follow up and inquire if my contacts had arrived yet since they weren't delivered to my home. The staff said that they were delivered to their office last month (no one notified me of this), but they cannot locate them in the office. They had multiple staff searching in the back with no luck. The staff then said since they lost my contacts that they can order 2 trial contacts to make up for it. I agreed to this gingerly. They said that the contacts will arrive in one week. A week passes and I call them for a follow up, the staff reported that my contacts are on the delivery truck set to be delivered at 9pm and that they will call me the morning after. The morning after no one called. I called their office at 5pm yesterday and the staff reported "We don't have them it usually takes 2 weeks." I told them that the staff yesterday informed me that they were on a delivery truck for last night. The staff then stated "We have different tracking systems and sometimes they're not right." I am also waiting on a pair of glasses, but I had just ordered those last week so I know those take time, but it has been 2 months waiting for trial contacts.
