I am so regretful that I have to leave this review. I have used this location for my vision care…read more for over 20 years. It was a privately held company with a few locations in the Pittsburgh metro area that was recently brought under the MyEyeDoctor vision care consortium. Though they were not perfect and I did experience issues with service,none come close to this! The majority of their failures centered around selling me more options than I needed or failing to fill orders in a timely fashion or failure to fax test results to my physician. But in the last 3 years, I have experienced lackluster customer service with little appreciation of my patronage. It is odd to feel like you are little more than a name on a schedule for a town the size of New Kensington and this small business. I guess it's a sign of the times. But I digress. What I have experienced in 2 visits this fall goes beyond lackluster and careless customer service. This is a story of blatant disregard for their responsibility to act in a civil, respectful, and honest fashion. 1: Inadaquate staffing About 4 weeks ago I scheduled my annual eye exam. They have my records and know that for the last 6 years I have needed a special vision test required by a med. I arrived for my exam and learned that the person who performs these tests was not in the office. They could do my standard exam but I would need to return a second time for the special exam. They couldn't schedule until the October schedule was available but would call me when it was released. Minor, but required a second trip. 2: Lack of follow up After 2 weeks and now October with no call from MyEyeDoctor to schedule the special testing, I called the office to see if the October schedule had been published. Indeed it was, yet no one called me to schedule the testing. I had to initiate the call. Point 3: Unapologetic, irresponsible, destruction of customer property On my first visit I brought with me 4 pair of glasses to be adjusted 3 pair of prescription frames and 1 pair of Gucci sunglasses that were 10 years old but in pristine condition. (They were worn infrequently, because the lenses were too dark for most Pittsburgh days. In 10 years probably worn less than 60 times. Always kept them in their case & my car's console. ) Trish took the 3 pair of prescription eye glasses from me and said she could adjust them. I then proceeded to hand her the sunglasses to see if she could adjust them. (purchased here) In the hand off, Trish fumbled them and accidentally SMASHED them onto the desk breaking off & cracking the left temple. I was stunned but felt for her thinking she felt responsible and remorse. She didn't know what to say or do initially... except try to fix them in the back unable to heat it up enough to repair it without breaking it further. After failing to fix them, she handed them back to me with a mere, "I am sorry I couldn't fix them." No offer to replace them... Then she asked if she could keep them and try to fix them better. I said of course Following my special vision tests, I stopped by the desk to retrieve my "repaired" glasses from Trish who stated that it was not a sturdy fix and it may or may not hold. Noting not to put them back into their case. 4: Belligerent & disregard for responsibility When I stated that this was unsatisfactory and they should replace the glasses, the woman behind the front desk started to raise her voice and say that they had repaired the glasses and that was the extent of what they could and would do. And when I said it was their responsibility to make good on this accidental damage that they caused to my property. If I had broken a pair of glasses in their store, I would be responsible to pay for the broken merchandise... she quickly retorted that their insurance would take care of the damages to inventory. Baffling that their insurance doesn't not cover accidental damage to customer property. The defining moment was when this woman exclaimed in a loud, irritated voice, "since I was raising this as an issue, I would no longer be able to bring my glasses in for adjustments!" (One of their lifetime warranty services.) then disappeared into an office behind. I remained calm and keeping my voice low, I replied that it will be my prerogative to take my business to another vision care provider. I received no apology, no admission of culpability or responsibility, only nasty treatment to a paying customer. I would not be writing this review at all, if they had accepted their mistake and responsibility to make good on breaking my valuable piece of property. I am giving 2 stars, only because I want to be fair about the 20 plus years of service I have received. It was once a top notch place with friendly, customer focused staff. Needless to say I will be finding another eye doctor.

Thank you to Dr. Smay, Renae, and the rest of the team at MyEyeDr in New Kensington. I feel…read moreconfident knowing that I will get the best care and compassion while I am there. It's a great hometown experience, and I get a great price on my eyewear.

All staff are kind and knowledgeable. They have a great selection of frames and the three different…read moredoctors I've seen there over the years have all been lovely. They definitely find the best deal with your insurance and they communicate clearly over voice mail as well. Highly recommended!

I have taken my two daughters there for the last two years and I also was going there until I…read morerecently just canceled my appointment. I feel like they are super expensive compared to any other eye doctor I've ever went to. Also, the service staff is extremely rude. Once I was late for an appointment, which is unbelievable since they constantly text, email, and call. Upon my arrival, explained that I was 10 minutes late and that I understood if they couldn't take me and if I had to reschedule I could. One of the girls working at the desk, did not realize that I was there and started talking about the customer who's never answers the phone and just happened to not show up and then she went on and on about how she knew this would happen because this patient doesn't answer the phone. Evidently it was me she was talking about, and even if it wasn't, it was extremely rude for this staff member to be talking so negatively about another patient in front of an audience. Another time I picked up my daughter's trial contact lenses and they told me if they didn't work she would need to come back in and schedule an appointment with the doctor. My daughter is 18 and she's been wearing contact lenses since the fifth grade. I asked them why she would have to see the doctor again. Why couldn't we just try a different type of contact lens? Once again, the service staff was rude and told me that a doctor would be needed to be seen and I just think that is ridiculous. My daughter is 3 1/2 hours away at college. She is not coming home to see an eye doctor and prolong getting contact lenses just because the weekly trial she's trying on aren't liked. she can just go back to monthly. It's just ridiculous and I feel like there's all kinds of fees that I've never experienced with other eye doctors. When they called to confirm my appointment today and I told them what my insurance was the girl on the other line very rudely commented "Oh". I was never aware that VSP was that bad of an eye insurance. I told the girl to just cancel my appointment. it's also so ridiculous that they call and call and call. They leave a message but they want to physically speak with you to confirm your appointment. Some people have job jobs and some people have things that they have to do and they can't keep their phone on all day. I wouldn't even mind the overpriced Spence because Indo like the doctors, but it would be so worth it to leave just to avoid the aggressive rudeness of the staff that works there.

When the doctor saw me, he was highly energetic and quick with the exam. He also said that there was nothing wrong with my eyes (I have a vitreous detachment), that I do not have astigmatism and said that my previous prescription for contacts was too high. He gave me an -8.50 for both eyes. My left eye is normally a -9.50 and I believe my right is a -9.25. When I put in these contacts at home, I was severely disoriented and my eyes had trouble focusing. I also was getting a major headache, so I took them out. Today, I tried wearing contacts again using my old prescription in my left eye and his prescription in my right. No major issues, but he was convinced my eyes do not have astigmatism and should be at a lower power. Not sure what to say except that he made it seem like every eye doctor from my past was stupid and he was not. He did say "do you want to get a second opinion?" but if you know anything about insurance, you don't get that second opinion without paying for it out of pocket. I'm glad I didn't purchase contacts from him.
