I was glad to see that they carefully controlled the number of people in the office and I was able to wear a mask for the whole appointment.

I'll definitely be back.

Dr. Katz herself is a very knowledgable, caring doctor who has provided me with more than just vision care. I have relied on her expertise to see me through (no pun intended) a rather serious eye problem that I had previously only trusted an eye surgeon to care for. She has proven herself to be a more thorough and caring provider than the specialist! The staff at AVC is super nice and one of the women who works in the reception area (forgot her name) is especially knowledgable about insurance -- a rare find these days! The waiting area is small and comfy, with complimentary coffee, TV, and magazines. There is never a very long wait. I do not feel overly pressured with sales pitches to purchase glasses or lenses here, which is refreshing. That said, I did purchase glasses for my child, who is very picky and actually found a pair to their liking. On top of all that, this facility has state-of-the art machinery for testing your eyes. (How cool to see a picture of the inside of your own eyeball!)

Not happy with their customer service. I came to Advanced because they were 5 minutes from my…read morehouse, had a high rating here, decent selection of frames and accepted my insurance. I spent over $700 out-of-pocket on a pair of glasses, and my insurance paid for the rest. Within a month a lens scratched and Advanced repalced it. Less than a year after my purchase what looked like a grain of sand became embedded in a lens. Also I noticed the red paint was starting to chip from the metal frame. I came in and immediately the person at the counter said something like sorry, we no longer carry that brand. Not understanding why that should be my problem, I asked to speak to the manager. He was pretty rude & said there was nothing that could be done about the paint and then acted like he would do me a big favor - rather than standing by his product - by replacing the lens, while trying to make me feel like this was my fault. He expalained that he had the same brand glasses and multiple children who were regularly grabbing them off his face, yet he never had a problem with these glasses. That's a great story, but I'll never return here!

Unfortunately, a couple of years ago, the was a policeman perhaps moonlighting a second job. I've seen him about town and he was insistent that I had ordered a pair of glasses only Harry Truman would wear. The moonlighting fellow placed a pair glasses with a line bifocal. I didn't order those ; his tone was harsh and I was uncomfortable. Policemen who need part time income should try to fix cars or lawnmowers Many have terrific manual skills . The are great at helping folks who are stuck. My next visit was just a awkward. The lady waiting on me said she had 43 pairs of glasses . She proceeded to show me all her inventory on layaway . In the city of witches she would scare all the boys and ghouls. However, she did own a beautiful car. I just saw one exactly like it. With the problems I have, I cannot wait for a meter. Parking is tight and restricted. I will always remember the first rate eyewear I would religiously purchase at Banville . The owner is kind and nice. The fellow working the shop if friendly and skillful. James Dennehy

She appears to be experienced and thorough; at my most recent visit last week she recommended I also see an opthamologist, to follow a condition she saw with my corneas, and suggested several in the general "north of Boston" area. If you need new frames, you have plenty to choose from, as their glasses selection is extensive. YMMV, but I'm quite happy with this place & the people there. (Oh, and they're also just happen to be located right next to my favorite Salem hardware store, Winer Brothers!)

I've needed her help with glasses a dozen, or more, times, and she never disappoints. My wife went to a Boston Opthamologist, who wrote a prescription she had filled by the Optometrists next door. The prescription was wrong, and the frames didn't fit. It took a year for them trying to get it right. She finally gave up, and took her script to Shellie. Within days, she got the glasses back, and EVERYTHING worked the way it was supposed to. I would never hesitate to recommend Shelli. In her profession, she's as good as it gets. Ten stars!,,

What an outstanding experience I had when I went to The Eye Place for the first time. My glasses…read morethat I've had for over 10 years snapped in half recently, right on the bridge. I need them desperately to see. Ordering glasses at most places would take days to come in. Teaches me a lesson not to have a back up pair around. So on a whim I found The Eye Place. First off, on Shelles The Eye Place website, I really liked what she had to say about herself, her background, and how she runs her business. As a person that has spent many years in sales, I believe in transparency and not being pushy with the customer. Shellee has those same values. Transparently speaking I just went in there to see if she had any ideas on how I could maybe fix them. She's quite lovely in person. She knows what she's talking about and treats you like your family. I felt like I had known her for years, the way that we talked. When I finally pulled out my glasses to show her what had happened, she didn't even miss a beat. She found a similar frame and popped out the lenses on my broken pair of glasses and put them in the new frames. The new frames are at a great price point. She made little adjustments on the glasses to ensure they fit my face properly. The transaction was smooth and seamless. I love my new glasses. Shellee has a wonderful selection of glasses to fit any face and designs to fit anyone's unique style. You can tell by the way Shellee interacts with you that she loves what she does and she ensures that her customers leave with a smile on their face and the perfect eyeglass frames. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful Optician that takes pride in their work and delivers high quality care.
