After going to a few different places throughout the years (Thoma, Wing, etc) I finally found what…read moreI was looking for! My first experience at Giovanetti Eyecare impressed me. I came in for an acute eye problem and I could not possibly be happier with how I was treated and the attention to detail on the exam. 1) I was able to be squeezed in the same day due to the fact that I was having an acute issue that day. Dr. Joe stuck around when he was finished just to see me. 2) My eye exam was very thorough. 2 different tests were able to be completed in office to give me peace of mind. Dr. Joe took almost two hours of his time being very sure to rule out any serious issues. This meant a lot to me. 3) The staff was very friendly, professional. Certainly every visit doesn't warrant such an in depth appointment. However any doctor that would spend so long and stay late to me is a testament that they truly care about their patients. I'll be getting my next eye exam here and I would say that at least on the west side of Cincinnati Giovanetti has to be the best around.

Update: I ended up buying 3 pair of glasses with the help of Brandi. She is truly the Queen of finding glasses that suit a person's face and personality. My friend came with me when I went to pick up my glasses and he was so impressed with the service that he decided to book himself for an eye exam and get himself some new glasses too. True story.

I recently moved to Cincinnati and needed a new optimist. After conducting research for about a…read moremonth, I landed on Dr. Hamillton, Hyde Park Optometrist. My eye exam was the MOST thorough and Dr. Hamilton explained every step with precision and humor. Importantly, I learned why eye glasses ordered from lesser committed "eye professional" offices do not work as prescribed - they are made with inferior plastics - something you will not see endorsed from Dr. Hamilton. Only the best because he and his team truly care about their clients wellbeing. My research paid off and I hope this review helps you on your journey to find the right optometrist. Truly an exceptional experience!

This practice is one of the very few in Cincinnati who are not part of the 80 + doctors at the Cincinnati Eye Institute and whose practice is not owned by a Wall Street Private Equity company. His nephew, Dr. Alex Kuley, joined the practice a few years ago. The small practice treats patients as individuals while being on top of the latest procedures in eye surgery. I am a retired physician. I appreciate their approach and have sent many family members and friends to them. My husband sees them. (He has no eye problems other than needing reading glasses.) My Mother-in-law, who has macular degeneration, also sees them.

Deceptive Billing Practices…read more I am extremely dissatisfied with this business due to two separate, highly deceptive billing incidents. Issue 1: Preemptive Overcharging During my initial eye exam and contact lens fitting, the staff overcharged my credit card by $40 above my insurance copay ($70). When I questioned it on the spot, they claimed they "preemptively" charge extra in case insurance denies a claim. After I insisted my maximum copay was $70, they agreed to a refund. However, they claimed that because it was a Saturday, they would process the refund during the work week. Instead of the promised refund, they ultimately forced a store credit on me. Issue 2: Surprise Billing I scheduled a follow-up appointment because my trial lenses were blurry, and I confirmed over the phone that this recheck would be free of charge. During the exam, the doctor asked a few questions about dry eyes as it could be the reason for the ill-fitting lens and offered to recommend drops. Later, I discovered they billed me for a separate "dry eye consultation." I was not informed that this would be the case or made aware of the relevant charges. Had they been transparent, I could have had the opportunity to accept or decline. When I disputed the bill, they claimed they had to charge me because I did not have medical insurance on file, which misses the point entirely. My main objection was that I had not been properly informed beforehand. They refused to remove the charge and kept my previous $40 credit to cover it. In my opinion, this office engages in deceptive billing practices by adding hidden fees without clear patient consent. I believe converting a free follow-up into an unapproved medical charge is a breach of professional and ethical standards. Avoid this provider if you expect honest pricing and transparent communication. [EDIT] Response to the business owner's reply below: Josiah Y., I do not agree with your assessment of the situation. I scheduled and arrived for a standard, complimentary contact lens recheck. An eye examination is a necessary part of that specific service. Expecting a patient to actively refuse an examination during a recheck appointment just to avoid unapproved charges is completely unrealistic. The core issue is a total lack of informed consent. I was never told that the nature of my visit had changed from a free recheck to a billable medical consultation, nor was I informed of any additional fees. Because I was not given the opportunity to consent to these charges, I dispute the examination fee and request a full refund.
