    I rarely give five star reviews as I typically will say there is always room for improvement. When…read moreI give a five star review it means I am 100% satisfied with the experience and service provided. I am admittedly picky about eyewear; The frames as well as the lenses. tl;dr- Eyes on Norbeck, and Raul specifically, are a 5 star experience! I purchased every day frames and lenses as well as a pair of prescription sunglasses. Not only did they have unique eyewear and quality lenses, they are a preferred provider in network with my vision insurance! I no longer have to go anywhere else when the time comes for me to look for new eyewear and lenses to go with it! Continue reading if you want the longer review! For years I went to a locally owned eyewear boutique, but after Covid, the shop was sold and their inventory was no longer unique or the high-quality of the previous owners. So I was on the hunt for a new place to purchase eyewear. I had already gone to several places in Washington DC and Northern Virginia and found that while some of the places had wonderful eyewear, they did not accept insurance and my out of network benefits would make purchasing eyewear a $4000 endeavor. Again because I am picky and have a penchant for I wear that is not mass produced. Add to that, I was also searching for an optical shop, where I would feel confident that my eyewear fit me properly, that the lenses were high-quality, and the person helping me select frames understood their inventory and had expertise in what they were offering. Enter Raul and all of the staff at Eyes on Norbeck! Upon walking in, you are created warmly and feel very comfortable. The shop has excellent lighting on the inside and nice big windows which bring in natural light. This is a big deal because lighting matters a lot when it comes to vision as well as the look and feel of eyewear. Immediately I knew I was in a place that cared a lot about vision. The selection of frames are unique and designer, yet reasonably priced. If I were to guess why they're pricing is so much more reasonable it would be because they maintain a regular clientele who are not only repeat customers, but bring in friends and family who also become regular clientele. Such was the case with me. One of my friends recommended the shop to me and I am so glad she did. Upon arrival, Raul gave my friend a big hug and he welcomed to me warmly as well. I explained what I was looking for and provided my prescription. Raul asked clarifying questions and made honest recommendations which included knowledgeable feedback on the frames and the fit. I had not made an appointment as I wasn't getting my eyes examined so I fully expected Raul to either take limited time with me or suggest I make an appointment and come back. I was wrong on both accounts Raul immediately, but without rushing, brought me around the store and we selected a few frames together. His expertise helped me not to feel overwhelmed and he very patiently, with a great sense of humor, brought me to making a decision on my eyewear that I feel 100% met my needs. Having worn glasses for over 30 years, and visited many places that sell eyewear, Eyes on Norbeck, and of course Raul, are a 5 star experience!

    I've been using Warby Parker services - both exams and purchase of glasses - for several years at…read moredifferent locations. The stores are nicely set-up, bright and clean, and the staff are friendly. I like how you can try-on through the mail or in store and return through the mail or in store. It's very convenient. Every time I had an eye exam, including my exam last month, I felt that the exam was thorough and professional. But now I understand why this location gets so many poor reviews. When I came for my exam, they offered me digital retinal scanning for $35 more. I told them my insurance covered it. The insisted it did not. I insisted it did and they again looked at their computer and insisted it did not. They told me my one option was to pay the $35 myself. The staff person called over a more experienced staff person who said the same thing - you're not covered. No one offered to call my insurance company to confirm coverage, even though the store was otherwise empty and I asked them to call. They told me that even if they confirmed my coverage, they couldn't do anything about it because "the computer won't let me do it." I paid the $35 and had an excellent exam. They told me that I should file an insurance claim. Yes, my insurance covers the test. After filing an insurance claim by mail and being on the phone/email with Warby Parker corporate office and my insurer for over 90 minutes, Warby Parker (the company, not this location) agreed to refund my $35. Yesterday, my partner went for an eye exam at a different Warby Parker location in the County. I armed my partner with a copy of our insurance coverage, showing clearly that we are covered for this test. The staff person looked at it, agreed, and still concluded that we were not covered. The store employee refused to call the insurer. Then, they finally said - yes, you are covered, but I can't do anything about it because of my computer. (I guess there's no employee override for situations where the data in the company records is wrong). So, my partner paid the $35 (it is an important and valuable test!). And I am now, again, straightening this one out with Warby Parker online help desk. It's frustrating. I suspect when the next person with my insurance walks into a Warby Parker store, they will be told the same thing. You aren't covered and, if you are covered, there's nothing we can do. What??!!? Failing to call my insurer when I was there (or when my partner was there) to confirm coverage was just poor customer service. My insurer told me that optometrist offices call them all the time with customers in the stores to confirm coverage and avoid all this nonsense. Is this the end of the world? No. But I spent a lot of time clearing this up twice for my family, and I feel bad for the next person who walks into a Warby Parker store with my insurance. A big company like Warby Parker should have systems in place to address these situations instead of telling the customer "you're not covered" when you definitely are and are showing them evidence of the coverage, where they won't take a few minutes out to make a phone call when the store isn't busy, or they throw up their hands and tell you it'll cost you $35 because "the computer won't let me do this."

    Had a great experience at this Warby Parker location. Didn't realize they offered eye exams as…read morewell. After not finding anything I liked for a reasonable price at my optometrist I decided to head over and see what offerings they had here. The employees were very friendly and helpful. I came in at 6pm and I know the store closes @7pm but they never made me feel rushed and they encouraged me to try on as many pairs as I needed to make a decision. Once I decided on 2 pairs the measuring and ordering process went very quickly and the glasses will be delivered to my home, so no extra trips back to the store for pickup!!

I had…read morebeen doing to another practice for a couple years, but they seemed to be focused more on senior patients and it was a cumbersome process. My experience with Dr. Ephraim was 5-stars across the board! He was timely, there was never any waiting, and it was overall an extremely pleasant, easy process. There was no puff of air (argh! thank goodness), yet he had technology that I've never had used on me from other places that was able to show detailed digital images of my eyes and its cones, etc. He prioritized both the health aspect of my eyes as well as the accuracy and optimization of the prescription which was exactly what I was hoping for. There was no pressure to buy glasses or contacts from them, which I appreciated. Dr. Ephraim was also super-personable and funny, and his staff was efficient and professional. I paid out of pocket because I didn't like the experience I had elsewhere, and it was worth it, but he does take multiple vision insurance providers. Note: I did originally have trouble connecting with them for an appointment and didn't get an answer the first couple times. I called a bit earlier and that helped to finally connect.

    NOTE: I filled my lens prescription elsewhere, so this review is just about the eye doctor…read more PROS * Staff were mostly fine * Eye doctor (when I finally saw her) did a good job CONS * Parking - Park at Java Nation or Whole Foods, buy a drink, and walk over to this location. I couldn't figure out how parking works in this area. * Clear your schedule - As other reviews have noted, speed is not their strong suit. Definitely the longest trip to an eye doctor I've had. I came in on a Fri morning, and it took them about 15 mins to get me in. Had an eye test done and then sat around for another 20 mins. Another test. Another 15 minutes before I finally see the doctor. All told it was a 1.5 hour visit for maybe 5 minutes interacting with staff. * Skip the "flip the eyelid" test. One of the young techs that worked here tried to do this and it was super uncomfortable. I don't even know if his hands were clean. He couldn't seem to do it and I couldn't get over someone jabbing their finger in my eye. He ended up just really frustrated. When I finally saw the eye doc like 45 mins later, it didn't even come up. * Masking - While waiting I sat in a crowded waiting room, nobody wearing masks, which I guess is fine now but when cold and flu seasons rolls back around ... OTHER They required two visits - They couldn't see me for both glasses and an eye doctor check (i.e. check for problems). This was supposedly due to an insurance requirement, but the incredibly slow service means I had to come back and dump another entire afternoon in a month. NOTE: You'll see a very reasonable reply from the company below this review. Please note that I haven't been back because a friend visited months later and said they had the same experience. As requested by yelp, that does not impact my review, but it did keep me from trying them again.

The lady on the counter said I couldn't get the glasses now because I was already on a list to see the doctor. I asked someone before her that I needed to pick up my glasses and she said she couldn't help at the moment, that's why I told the other person in the counter, so the answer was that I needed to see the doctor with the old glasses. Then I saw 2 technicias that were really professional and kind, I told the 2nd one my new progressive glasses were in the optical and that I couldn't get them for the appointment, she tried getting them but couldn't, then told me to get them before seeing the Dr. Saeed. I went to the counter and the other lady asked if I was done with my appointment I told her no but that I needed my glasses to see Dr. Saeed and she said to wait but she didn't put me in the list to get the glasses. A few minutes later another technician not someone from the optical called me to give me the glasses and said "sorry for the confusion" Coming here is already hard, I don't like the wait, and the bad service from some staff members, the doctors are great but situations like this make me want to go to other practices.
