Grove Eye Care - Dr. Joseph Allen

Carytown

I've loved being a patient at Grove Eye Care. You know how everyone has a doctor visit they're kind…read moreof afraid of? Eye doctors used to be that for me, but after my experience with Grove Eye Care, I feel much more confident and relaxed. I had my first visit back in 2023. I was looking to start wearing contacts and to get a new glasses prescription. Booking an appointment was easy. My first visit is a bit of a blur since it's been over a year, but I did have main takeaways. Whoever it was that guided me in how to put on contacts was the kindest and most encouraging person I've met. In my experience, a lot of eye doctor visits have involved inpatient people (I can understand because I would feel inpatient hearing the same six letters over and over again). I did not feel this way with my contact teacher. She was there to support me and made me feel welcome. I highly recommend getting contacts here. The contact experience involves getting the right prescription for you with a doctor, learning how to put them on, getting trials for a week, then returning to see if you'd like to order them. I have VSP which helped with the cost and have enjoyed the Bausch and Lomb Infuse 1-Day contacts. As for eye exams themselves, on an annual check-up this week, I did have a more impatient examiner, who didn't really explain all the machines to me which I didn't mind as much because I felt more confident, but had wished she told me when bright lights were flashing. They have a machine you can pay extra for so you don't need to get your eyes dilated which is nice. My first examiner in 2023 did explain everything. I think you just need to ask. My doctor is Dr. Schwartz. She helped me with my contact journey as well as treating headaches and dry eyes. She's very direct and to the point and can answer any questions you may have. I've enjoyed having her as my doctor. During my visit this week, I explored possibly purchasing new glasses/lenses at the shop section. It was a bit out of my price range, but do know you can get your prescription for free and if you need the distance of your eyes it's a $10 charge. If you're feeling uneasy about eye doctors, this is a great place to feel more confident and comfortable with them. The parking is easy here with a lot out front. It's near Carytown. And there is a gender neutral single stall for bathrooms. I highly recommend.

Everyone is so kind here, and my appointments go super quick without feeling rushed. (No waiting on…read morethe doctor for ages!) I appreciate how the doctor shows you the scans of your eyes and explains the different things he's looking for and why. Have been seeing Dr. Levy for years but he recently retired. Now seeing Dr. Wong and still getting the same great service!

Mr. Dudley was very expedient, professional, kind and courteous!! I would highly recommend him to…read moreeveryone i know!!

Due to a sudden work layoff, my vision insurance was ending. Unfortunately, my benefits were ending…read morein 2 days. So I trolled the listing of approved eyeglasses places from my vision insurance and Dudley Optical was listed. I only picked this company because a) he accepted my insurance, b) he carried the frames my insurance would pay for, and c) he stayed open late on a Saturday afternoon to help me out. If you're looking for a slick strip mall nationwide optician who offers 2 pairs of glasses for $99 and has posters of bespectacled models and too many frames to count (even though you don't like most of them) - this is not your kind of place. However, if you want excellent service from a welcoming, knowledgeable, unpretentious local optician with decades of experience, try Mr. Dudley. He had many frames to choose from but not so many that I was overwhelmed. He explained why certain frames fit me better than others and where I want the frames to sit on my nose for the best corrected sight and to avoid pain. Also, he has the simplest paperwork and breakdown of fees I've ever seen. It was an easy transaction - the first time I've bought glasses where I didn't get that feeling I might be paying too much or surprised by extra fees. My glasses arrived in the time frame he quoted and he was great at fitting them and getting it right the first time. I'm very happy with my new specs! Seriously, Mr. Dudley is a gem.

The Glass Spot - Pumpkin making

This place is the Spot! I came here for a work event and we made glass pumpkins (it's definitely…read morenot inexpensive but was a great experience). Everyone had a really great time picking their colors and doing the glass blowing. The pumpkins came out really great and the pickup process was super easy! My one complaint would be that we were such a large group (we had 2 groups back to back) and I was in the 2nd group- you could tell the staff got tired (very understandable since they had to make 20+ pumpkins) and they didn't do a great job explaining the process ahead of time. On the upside, they were great about talking you through it in the moment. It was pretty dummy proof since the staff did most of the process for you, I don't think I can say I actually did "glass blowing" which I think is fine. Overall, would recommend this for events (but maybe smaller groups) and the staff is really skilled. They have a shop up front which I would recommend checking out!

I really thought this place was a great buisness and they were very nice but this is what I…read morerecieved via email when we had to cancel a session. Then, I simply wished them Happy Holidays again and got. LOL. How unprofessional and disappointed as we have been there at least 5 times as a group. Too bad that this is how they choose to respond as some of our ladies are having hard time this time of year. ______________________________________________________________________________ From: THE GLASS SPOT Sent: Saturday, November 30, 2024 8:40 AM To: Subject: Re: Jan 2025 Drinking Glasses - Private Session Lol! ______________________________________________________________________________ On Sat, Nov 30, 2024, 8:38AM wrote: Have a great holiday. _______________________________________________________________________________ From: THE GLASS SPOT Sent: Friday, November 29, 2024 10:25 PM To: Subject: Re: Jan 2025 Drinking Glasses - Private Session Wow. _________________________________________________________________________________ From me- On Fri, Nov 29, 2024, 4:51PM wrote: Thanks, they decided that it was too expensive but thanks for reaching out.
