I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly they were able to make the glasses. I was able to pick them up in less than a week! They were also great about filing out all of my paperwork to submit to insurance. I will definitely be back!

Was hesitant to switch after going to the prior place for 25+ years. I was very happy I made the switch! This local, small town business was a breath of fresh air--- the service was excellent, as was the selection of eyeglass frames, including designer frames as well....Gucci, Tom Ford, to name just a few. The owner, Peter Detreich introduced himself and personally assisted me. Their prices were fair and competitive, but the quality, knowledgable service and the glasses were the major, remarkable aspects of my experience at this store. The glasses they made for me were the clearest, sharpest best "seeing" glasses, far better than the glasses I've had for over 25 years from my prior opticians. And, my prescription for multi-focal, progressive lenses I'd thought would mean a compromise in the close or far ranges. Not so. I used to sometimes get dizzy wearing my prior glasses with the progressive lenses. The multiple pairs I've had made by Deitrich do not do that. It's almost like not wearing glasses. I highly recommend them.

Today, I called a facility on behalf of a friend who doesn't speak English. She needed to make an…read moreappointment for her son, who also isn't fluent in English. Both are here legally and pay taxes--her son even works. The phone rang, and a man named "Stu" answered. I explained the situation, letting him know why I was calling and making the appointment for them. The moment he understood what I was saying, his entire demeanor shifted. His tone turned cold and condescending, and he asked, "How are we supposed to understand them then?" His attitude was palpable. He abruptly put me on hold. When he returned, he said there was an opening for next month, but his frustration was evident as he began asking for the boy's information. For some reason, he became flustered and placed me on hold again. This time, I was connected to a woman named Elise, and she was the complete opposite of Stu. Elise was kind, professional, and understanding. She took the information without any issue, wished me a good day, and even thanked me for calling. Her attitude was a breath of fresh air, but it made Stu's behavior stand out even more. I understand that tensions are high right now with the ongoing migration issues. I fully support efforts to secure our borders. However, that doesn't give anyone the right to mistreat others--especially those who are here legally. A simple, polite response like, "I'm sorry, we don't have anyone who speaks her language. Does she have someone who can interpret when she arrives?" would have been sufficient. Instead, Stu seemed determined to create a problem where there didn't need to be one. I can't shake the feeling that his behavior stemmed from a deeper, racial issue. At the very least, it was a blatant lack of respect and professionalism. Next month, we'll be seeing Stu in person. I can only hope the facility addresses his attitude before then. Everyone deserves to be treated with basic human decency--no matter their background.

Dr Goldberg is an excellent eye doctor: caring, extremely knowledgable, thorough and and keeps in close contact with my retina specialist in terms of any updates, concerns and/or findings. Stewart, as well, is excellent in terms of assisting you with selecting the best frame and lenses for your needs. Further, making sure the lens is cut correctly and that the frames are fitted correctly as well. The staff as well, is always pleasant, helpful, and knowledgable in addressing insurance coverage. Although one usually gets eye glasses every 1-2 years, it's always a great experience. This location may not have the wide selection as Manalapan, however I've always found a frame that perfectly fits my needs and their service is excellent. Highly recommended.

If I had unlimited resources and decided to start a business, it would probably be a high-end optical boutique filled with beautiful designer eyewear. To me, eyeglass frames are more than a necessity. They are an extension of personal style and fashion, and I love how they can complement an outfit just as much as jewelry or a handbag. While that dream remains a dream, I found a place that embodies it, and it's called Jemm Optical Boutique on Main Street in downtown Freehold. I knew it back in the day as Cohen's, but the owner of Cohen's sold it. In its place was Jemm Optical, which happens to be the original owner of that space. They decided to repurchase the store, and I could not be happier. Upon entering, you are immediately surrounded by what feels like a gallery of wearable art. The boutique is filled with premium designer frames that range from distinctive statement pieces to more classic and mainstream styles. As someone with very specific tastes in eyewear, I was in heaven. The shop itself is charming, warm, and inviting. Florence greeted me and was wonderful throughout the experience. She is knowledgeable about the collections and the designers behind them, making the process of browsing and selecting frames both enjoyable and informative. What impressed me most was the variety. Whether you are looking for something bold and unique or something more traditional, there is a frame for every personality and style. While many of the offerings are premium designer pieces, the pricing felt surprisingly reasonable considering the craftsmanship and artistry involved. They are also currently promoting a Buy Back Program, which allows customers to bring in their old glasses and receive credit toward the purchase of a new pair of premium designer frames. For anyone who views eyewear as both a necessity and a fashion statement, Jemm Optical Boutique is well worth a visit.
