Dr. Renee Dunlap and her staff offer superior vision services, from checkups and diagnosis, to large frame selection and fitting your glasses to your needs. The staff appreciates your time by keeping to appointment times as much as feasibly possible. I have been pleased with the lenses I have ordered thru this TSO office. Even when I ordered progressive lenses, the staff helped me learn what to expect as I became accustomed to these new lenses. I've been "seeing" Dr. Dunlap for over six years, and I appreciate her knowledge and accuracy in diagnosis and prescriptions. I would give 5 stars, except there seems to be a revolving door of the doctor assistants. While I understand and appreciate the need for staff development, there are innate skills required for a medical staff assistant to possess, such as interpersonal skills, a gentle and confident touch, and knowledge and accuracy on the reason for visits. If the job candidate does not have the innate skills, then find someone else. I get nervous enough going to any doctor. Starting my visit with a nervous, unqualified doctor's assistant is not the way to a good overall experience at the eye doctor. read more

This location was able to see me as a walk in and I appreciated it since I have a busy schedule. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciate Dr. Nguyen and his professional work ethics and how he educated me during the entire process. It's been almost two years since I had a routine check up so I had a few questions. They are located near Pet Smart. There is a nice selection of frames from Oakley, Tiffany and Co, Tommy Hilfiger, etc. The anti-glare lenses are pricey (add on) but I was willing to try it out since my insurance covered my frames and lenses. read more

Dr. Hutchins and her staff are the best I've ever experienced. Exams are very thorough and detailed. Staff is extremely well trained and go out of their way to keep customers happy. They have the best selection of frames in San Antonio. Family and friends are very satisfied too. I highly recommend. read more

Victoria was amazing in teaching my 11 year old daughter how to put contacts on .

I'm very disappointed in TSO's Administrative Staff. I have both Medicare and TriCare for Life and was told I would have to pay Medicares deductable of $226 at my next appointment. TriCare for Life covers my Medicare deductibl, so I should not be told I have to pay $226 before I can be seen. To me this seems to be a fraudulent bill and as medical administrators they should be familiar with the different insurance(s) and what is covered. If they don't know, it's very easy to look up. I don't want to start over with my eye care, but if it comes to that, I will. read more

Texas State Optical- Stone Oak - Yearly Deductible Paid by TriCare - Optometrists Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

scheduled an appointment on the 18th and was advised I was set for the 27th at 330pm. when I arrived no appointment was found. worked my day around this appointment and they did nothing to accommodate me. found another place to take my business before end of year. Will not return read more

I came to my appointment here and although they have a great selection of frames and contacts to choose from the staff, service and quality of service is not great. The staff is not very friendly when asking questions over forms I am filling out. I get told my insurance covers everything and then later receive a bill for almost $300.00!! Disputing it was a night mare and then once I receive my glasses they are not how they were ordered. Needless to say, I will not be coming back here. TSO is a great company, but for whatever reason this location is not the best. I do recommend TSO as a company since my family still continues to go there but this location can use some help with their staff. I gave it 2 stars but like I said earlier, they do have a great selection of frames!! They are top of the line and the frames themselves are not only cute but super stylish. The contacts they offer are one of the few places I have found that fit my eye comfortably so I do go back when I need to order contacts. The price for the frames are reasonable as well. So, this place isn't all horrible don't think that please...they offer great products I just think their service from the staff can use some improvement and also getting their insurance claims in order before billing a client who does not need to be billed. read more

See all

Tried this location out to be my new optometrist. Was told my lenses were going to take 2 weeks to come in, ended up taking over a month. Fast forward a little over a year and all the paint is peeling off of my frames (they go from my face to night stand with care). Go in to ask about the warranty to get greeted by a rude receptionist who didn't have the time of day to be bothered & got told I have to have another exam and buy a whole new set of glasses after only 1 year of wearing these... I've been wearing glasses my entire life and have never had all the paint peel off and look so scuffed. Told the girl to cancel my account and it looked like the happiest day of her life. I'd stay away from this location and probably every TSO as their all privately owned and have to deal with the 1 location the entire time of being a customer. read more

I would not recommend this place to anyone. I first went 2 years ago and didn't have a good experience but can't honestly remember what happened. Today I needed to get in for contacts and they were able to fit me in on short notice, a positive for sure. I have a difficult work schedule so it's really hard for me to get time to take care of my own needs. I figured maybe whatever happened last time wasn't worth avoiding them as they were able to accommodate me which I really appreciated. I got there at 2:23 for a 2:30 appointment. I was taken back at about 2:45. No big deal. I'm in the medical field so I don't worry about a little wait. The young lady helped with the initial things and then sat me in the exam room at about 3:00. Then I sat and waited. Start to finish I was there for over an hour and never saw the dr. I walked out at 3:33. I have never done that but waiting that long is unacceptable. There was maybe one other patient there. I should have been done with the entire visit in under an hour. Definitely won't be back. read more

Love Dr Kara, every time my daughter and I come for our annual exam, Dr Kara and Dr Dunlap's staff always treats us like family and always looks after us. Love TSO read more

First time here, my experience was great. The staff was professional and knowledgeable with my eye appointment. They were also very patient and helpful with the selection of new glasses. I will be recommending this eye center to friends. Thanks! read more

Spoke to a woman at the front-desk over the phone on 04/21/2021 at around 2 pm---I simply needed my latest eyeglasses prescription e-mailed to me as I do not live close by any longer. It's an emergency as my eye was damaged and I cannot use my contacts like normal, thus I need glasses. Her answer was entirely bureaucratic and rigid: "Sir, we cannot e-mail prescription information that you paid for because it's expired. You have to come pick up the piece of paper in PERSON". Why? If you'll let me have it in person, why can't you give it to me over the phone/e-mail/text ? Is it more legally binding if I drive 2 1/2 hours? It's my prescription information and it's accurate for me. It's apparent that there's a lack of care for the customer, and it's simply laziness. TSO Stone Oak won't get another dollar out of me, or my peers. read more

I have been getting my sons nano glasses from them for years. They are so great to work with. They remember my son and all his special needs and do anything they can to accommodate him. read more

My experience here was less than satisfactory to say the least. At first, the doctor I saw was very kind and helpful. The problems started when I went in the pick up the frames I ordered per her prescription. The prescription was clearly wrong due to the fact that I could not see properly when I put the glasses on. However, when I explained this to the young lady who was helping me, she proceeded to argue that I needed to wear them to get used to the new prescription. This is not my first time at an eye doctor, nor is it my first time getting prescription frames. I know the difference between adjusting to a new prescription and not being able to see properly through said prescription. Finally, after arguing with me, yes arguing, she agreed to ask the doctor if I could have my eyes re-examined. The doctor was more than happy to re-examine, and after informed me that she would be changing my prescription and adjusting the frames. Before I left I had noticed that the frames they made for me had blue light technology which I did not request because the blue tent on the glasses bothers me. I was assured that the new prescription would not have this. After about a week I received a phone call to pick up my adjusted prescription frames. When I arrived I noticed that these frames were also blue light frames. When I told the same young lady that help me the last time that these were still blue light frames, she flat out lied to me saying they were not. And then proceeded to argue with me again! Since then, I have had the frames tested at a different location. Guess what? They are blue light protection frames. Not to mention, I have a slight suspicion that they never changed the prescription in the first place because I've worn the glasses for about a week now, and it still seems off. So I basically paid $1000 for a pair of glasses that aren't right however trying to fix them there is such a nightmare. I guess I will take my frames and have another eye doctor re-prescribe and replace the useless lenses. Why the lies? Why does the staff here think it's appropriate to argue with customers? I will not be returning, and I hope that if you consider going to this location you proceed with caution as these frames were rather expensive and the service was much less than satisfactory. read more

I have been going to this location for 6 years and every time I go it's a very good experience. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They really have their routine down and get you in at your scheduled time. Went to my primary care Dr this morning and waited 2 hours to see her. But I knew when I headed to my TSO Stone Oak appointment I would be in and out in a reasonable amount of time. Dr. Hutchin's is very personable and listens to what is going on and is very thorough with her exam and diagnosis. Highly recommended! read more

I am a repeat customer and have had consistently good service every time I visited the office. Dr. Dunlap is very thorough and makes sure that you get a good fit for your contact lenses. The glasses seem to be a bit expensive but I have a very strong prescription so that is to be expected. read more

This was my first time going to this location or getting my eyes checked in general, and as soon as you walk in the door the staff make it very welcoming for you. Very clean and comfortable atmosphere, along with a ton of stylish frames to pick from. From the front desk staff, to the actual optometrist, to Laura who was helping me pick out frames and helping me see which best fit my face, all was a 10/10. For this being my first experience, they took the time to explain everything they were doing and about to you, and why they're doing it. Needless to say, the TSO staff and facility is wonderful and I will be returning! read more

Why did I just cancel the two appointments for my wife and I next week? Well we just completed my sons eye exam and were taken to be fitted for glasses and then just totally ignored by the other staff to help others while we just sat and watched it all. read more

Came here for my annual eye exam. Dr. Dunlap is wonderful. She really listens and is very thorough. The actual exam equipment seems to be top of the line and cutting edge technology (well, at least it seems very new and has a lot of buttons). Heather, the optician, is fab as well. They have a good selection of frames too. read more

Terrible service and a waste of time. On my first visit there I spent over 3 hours at their office. I called ahead to make sure they had all of my insurance information and when I arrived they said they never received. The receptionist spent an hour on the phone trying to verify the information. Once finished, I found out that she had somehow managed to verify me with an insurance company I don't have insurance with - really don't understand how that is even possible. I spent another 45 minutes waiting. She could not answer any of my questions about copay or my coverage and was very rude. I still have yet to receive a correct Contact Lens Prescription. What a joke! Will not be back. read more

Very friendly staff. They also offer a wide range of glasses choices and are very knowledgeable when it comes to health insurance coverage. Big plus is they take Care Credit. We will def be returning for our future eye needs. ****Update 6/20/2017**** stopped using them, while staff is friendly I had multiple problems with glasses breaking, especially kid glasses, once even breaking before we even left the store. Having to replace them several times a year and one time waiting about a month for a new pair because they never ordered them. Since switching to Vision Source in Bulverde my little girls glasses have never had to be replaced. Not sure what the deal is with their glasses. read more

Why did I walk out before my exam started? I was a new patient, I went in early to fill out the paperwork and look at the selection of eyeglass frames. When called, I went to the back with the technician. As the technician was cleaning the testing equipment, she kept complaining about having to clean all of the equipment because I had ordered all of the test. I told the technician that we didn't need to do all of the tests and I left. After I left, I received a call about why I left. The person on the call seemed more concerned that I loudly requested that all of my information be destroyed and that I was never returning, as there where other customers in the office who overheard. In addition, the eyeglass frame prices are significantly higher than the Manufacture's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). I guess when insurance is involved, everyone likes to maximizes the profits. Many eyeglass frame manufactures list this information on their website. read more

I haven't even met the doctor so I don't know who he/she is. I'm writing this review because the receptionist are completely rude. They were rude when I was making the appointment and rude when confirming my appointment the next day. They lost a potential customer. If you can't answer the phones properly or be nice to people when scheduling an appointment, you can do some seriously business damage. I ignored the first time they were being rude when I was on the phone with them. But them calling me and being rude to confirm my appointment time i had it. I am looking else where for an eye doctor. I won't be spending my money if I'm not getting good services all around. read more

Both Dr. Dunlap and Dr. Hutchins are great. Friendly, professional and prompt. The staff is friendly and helpful in explaining what is covered by your vision plan. read more

I have been a loyal TSO customer since they opened in Houston. My recent visit was terrific. I have 20/20 vision. The staff and Dr. Hutchins are outstanding. As a bonus, the prices were half of what I usually pay for contacts plus they gave me a $50 rebate form. I'm very happy. read more

I recently had an unexpected loss of my prescription glasses and needed a replacement pair urgently. At Texas State Optical Stone Oak, I worked with Myranda who immediately made me feel like family! She took the time to relate to my situation, while working diligently to find a replacement pair suitable for me. She asked me probing questions to figure out my style, and even considered the shape of my head/face to pick out the perfect pair of glasses. I can say that I am a picky person, and Myranda never once made me feel like I was being picky. She understood that these glasses would be something I would wear daily for a very long time. When I had questions about costs and insurance, she was very knowledgeable about the process and gave me a detailed price quote so I could place my order. Upon picking up the glasses, I was very happy that Myranda was there and she had me try on the glasses to ensure the prescription was correct AND to make sure that they looked good on me! If you ever need glasses and want excellent customer service, I recommend going to Texas State Optical of Stone Oak and asking for Myranda! I will definitely be back. read more

Genuinely nice staff from the receptionist to the doctor. Contacts ordered came in within three days of eye exam and glasses took about the same time. Doctor Dunlap has a great memory, approachable manner and drive to make sure your prescription is correct! Linda goes above and beyond for glasses style and fitting selection (even set up a private meeting with the distributor from Diesel for me to find the perfect pair). The wait time for appointments is spot on with no delay the multiple times I was in. Thank you! read more

I rarely write reviews, but my experience at this office was outstanding. From the first call, the receptionist looked up my VSP insurance information, and scheduled a convenient appointment for me. When I arrived, my name was on their marker board as welcoming me as a new patient, and they took me back to conduct tests right away. No waiting, no hassle. Doctor Dunlap saw me very promptly, answered all my questions, made some helpful suggestions, and described precisely what she wanted to monitor in my retina. I purchased some prescription sunglasses there, and was pleasantly surprised how many stylish options they offered. I've had glasses for 40 years, and been to eye doctors in many different states. Many offices don't have the most up to date styles, but this TSO office did. I ordered the glasses, expecting them to be available in 10 days, but they arrived in five. From start to finish, this office did and continues to do an outstanding job. I almost look forward to going back to the eye doctor often. read more

TSO Stone Oak has the best glasses. Velma recommended Verilux, for the first time in 5 years I can see with my glasses. I can actually usemy glasses. The PLUS is that they have a 90 day guarantee. I have three pairs of glasses that sit in my drawer - useless. I was so happy, I bought two pairs. This is a great place and the staff is awesome. The prices are also great. I got two pairs for the price i had got one pair at a different place. read more

I booked an appointment 3 weeks in advance and gave them our insurance info. They call me the day before to say they don't take the insurance! After me checking! How unprofessional. read more

Very friendly and outstanding customer service. I recommend making this your first stop in comparing service and price.

Dr. Dunlap is extremely thorough especially as I have keratoconus. Also, Dr. Hutchins helped me out at the last minute when I cracked my contacts and Dr. Dunlap wasn't in. Office staff has always been professional and extremely nice. Highly recommend TSO on US 281 in San Antonio,TX read more

Had a great first experience! The employees are all wonderful! There was even a welcome sign for new patients, that was cool! read more

Love this place! I have been trying for years in Austin to find someone that can fit me in torque mono vision contacts with my astigmatism and finally!!!!! Dr. Renee is awesome! Very flexible as far as scheduling also which is helpful. read more

I set an appointment with 2 weeks in advance, they send me remainders every Day and I confirm them, when I got there to "my appointment" they told me they book two at the same time but the doctor said she was "WILLING" to receive me but I have to wait, WTF!!! They make so much money on us that they don't care about customer service any more last year I spend over $1,000.00 because I felt very comfortable, today they lost my business because I felt disrespected. read more

I was at first very pleased with the exam that I received last year. Then in July of this year I received a notice stating that I owed $114. What? So I call and am told that my insurance only covers a full eye exam every 2 years and that since I had had an exam the prior year, I had to pay for that one. No problem, but why had I not received anything since my appointment in November? I was told that they had been sending monthly statements to me...really? I had not been receiving them otherwise it would have been paid. At that point I was having financial problems and was not able to pay them, but if it was ok I could pay them on the 1st of the month. They agreed and that is exactly what I did. I paid them on 1 Aug 2017. Let's skip forward to my exam this year. Go in, pay for everything and again, my visit was very pleasant. I think everything is hunky dory. Wrong answer! I check the mail today and there is a collection notice for that $114 from the collection agency that TSO obviously uses. WTF? Really? What kind of accounting system do these people have? Do they have monkeys running it? I just don't get it. I've been in twice, paid for everything and am still receiving bills...now collection notices. Believe me, I will not be returning for my exam next year. read more

Went in for my follow up appointment for contacts and waited over 1 hour to be seen. I also needed to pick up my new pair of glasses and the representative seem to be bothered by having to make small adjustments to my new frames. I also did the necessary paperwork online and the staff was unable to locate it. The doctor seem very knowledgeable, however the staff needs work on their customer service and organization skills. read more

Outstanding service! I couldn't have had a more thorough visit. All of the staff are very friendly and knowledgable. I would definitely recommend this office for your eye care. read more

This is the worst place ever to get an eye exam. The day after my exam, one eye was red and hurting terribly. I called them, they wanted me to pay AGAIN to have it looked at! I said no, and went to my original optometrist who informed me my eye had been scratched during the exam. They wrote a contact lens prescription without putting a base curve on it, and wrote for a power for one eye that doesn't even exist in contact lenses! I've never had this problem anywhere else, and I am now seeking to get my money back, as I now need an entirely new exam to have a valid prescription for both eyes. I keep getting the run around and "I'll call you back" when I attempt to speak to them. I will never go back! read more

The initial visit was very uncomfortable because when checking my insurance the receptions actually billed my insurance fraudulently, so when I went in for my exam she stated my insurance did not cover the appointment. She had to re verify with my insurance that it was her mistake and was able to get my insurance approval. Then when I saw my doctor I informed her that i could not see and that I could feel my eyes getting weaker, the doctor stated that my eyes just need to get used to the new prescription. Going with the doctors advice I kept the prescription. Six months later my eyes have not adjusted and have actually gotten worse. I can not see at night, and now have to pay out of pocket for a second opinion because this location would not do a follow up based on the time of the initial visit. The whole office is unprofessional every time i have called it has been a ten minute hold, when I go in the personal conversations are inappropriate as well as the staff asked question about their personal accounts because they saw who my employer was on my insurance card. read more
