Incredibly kind and professional group! They took me in right away for my appointment and did a thorough exam Very happy to have found this place! read more

Amazing service, I had two eye exams booked for the same day, with my daughter's first cheerleading game on the day of the eye exams. I called to rebook one of my appointments telling the receptionist the situation. The receptionist put me on hold and said, Dr. Sam said he can see you both and will make sure your daughter is back for her game. Knowing that my daughter is going to need new glasses, because hers were broken, and a new prescription. I could not thank Dr. Sam and his amazing staff enough. With the help of Dr. Sam and his staff, my daughter picked out her new glasses and Dr. Sam said she will have them before Christmas. We made it to the game with time to spare. Thank you, Dr. Sam and your Amazing staff read more

I was pretty frustrated after trying two different prescriptions from a "discount" place. I finally went to Dr.Sam. He altered the prescription a bit. I got the new glasses at the office and the cost was no different than the "discount" place. The new glasses are perfect, Customer service is excellent. I will never go anywhere else again! read more

Always great service and lots of caring.Dr Sam and staff are the best. Highly recommended

The doctors and staff are all very caring and personable. When I was experiencing an eye issue the doctor called personally after being seen to ensure I was healing properly. Highly recommend! read more

I was happy with my eye exam, but Vision Care Specialists were not able to deliver progressive glasses that I could use for reading despite two attempts. I returned the glasses and received a refund. I was told to take my business elsewhere. At my first appointment I told Dr. Salituro that I was looking for a new prescription for contacts, and I'd like to get a new pair of progressive lens glasses. After my exam, they said my contacts prescription hasn't changed, and gave me trials for new contact lens brands to try. Those brands were more expensive than my current brand and supplier, so I made no change to my contacts. I ordered a pair of progressive glasses in Kenneth Cole REACTION frames with all the bells and whistles (transitions, anti-glare, expanded lens areas, etc.) for a total of $513 out-of-pocket. My new glasses arrived in two weeks. I made a second appointment to pick them up. Unfortunately, there were problems with the glasses. Although the frames were beautiful, when I tried to read, my vision was not clear, the letters were doubled, and I couldn't see what I was writing when I tried to email or text on my phone. They suffered by comparison with my 5 year old pair of progressive lenses. With my old glasses I have no problem reading, or writing on my phone. I found if I pushed the new glasses up the bridge of my nose up onto my forehead a little bit, then my vision came into focus, and I was able to read perfectly. However, holding my expensive new glasses up on my forehead is not an acceptable solution. I also noticed some distortion through the glasses that made round objects look oval, but I decided I would get used to that. Because I have to be able to read, I made a third appointment to return the glasses. At this appointment, Dr. Salituro started by explaining to me how he had placed the order for my lenses. I asked, "May I explain to you the problem I'm having?" I described my problem, and he took new measurements with a ruler. He said he had trouble making the measurement because of my height (I'm 6 feet tall). He said he would call me when the new glasses came in. Two weeks later his office called, and I made my fourth appointment to pick up corrected glasses. I had the exact same problem with the glasses - no change. My vision was only clear if I pushed them up onto my forehead. Maria from their office told me, "Let's call it quits." She said, if I return the glasses, they will refund my money, and I can get my glasses somewhere else. I returned the glasses, I received my refund, and I will gladly go somewhere else. No one from Vision Care Specialists ever apologized for the trouble, nor acknowledged that they had made any kind of mistake. read more

Dr. Dave Forum was AMAZING with my five year old for her Kindergarten exam. She is so good with kids and easing their fears and nerves as soon as she says hello. I am so happy we came here for our exam and we will be going back for years to come - I will also tell everyone I know to bring their kids here. Such a great place, friendly staff, and amazing doctors. Thank you so much for making my child's first visit so easy and wonderful! read more

Came in to get my eyeglasses adjusted today . Receptionist was very friendly. She referred me to Erica who did a great job on the adjustment. read more

2016 I had my first visit here when I lived just a few miles away. Blown away by the amazingness of the staff members and or course Dr.Sam himself. Now I've moved all the way to Evanston and I still come here because they are so great. The people at this specialist center do actually care about you and your health, and are always upfront with how much you're paying. They will always tell you if there is a better and more economical choice, even if that meant them not making as much. I'm gonna miss this place as I'm moving away. But seriously considering just flying back every year for my eye exam.... read more

Another 5/5 from me! Returned here for my annual eye exam and received wonderful treatment this time around, if not better than last. Will definitely continue to come here for all of my vision care needs. read more

Love that the staff was practicing safety! Everyone on staff was extremely friendly and helpful! I got this recommendation from a friend who told me I wouldn't regret changing doctors. So I called to make an appointment for my son who broke his glasses and they were able to take him in that same day! How great is that! My son was also able to get his new glasses a few hours later! His experience was so great that the rest of the family will be making appointments here as well! Thank you for the care, safety and wonderful staff and doctor!! read more

This place is AMAZING!!!! The staff is outstanding. The selection is great, and the prices are reasonable too. You feel like family. Talk about going above and beyond.... I had an emergency situation where I lost my glasses and needed a new pair asap to drive across the country. They squeezed me in the same day, worked through their lunch hour to help me out in my pinch, and were able to get me into a new pair by the end of the day. Cant say thank you enough to Dr. Sam, Gloria, and the rest of the staff. THANK YOU, THANK YOU read more

I went to VisionCare Specialists for a routine eye exam. I had a very good experience. Knowledgeable, friendly service. Would highly recommend them. read more

Dr Salituro is an excellent doctor and uncovered an issue that I was unaware i had, thank goodness he found it and now has me following up with a specialist . I had been going to Visionary Eye Care for years but since relocating to the suburbs, I didn't want to make the drive to the city anymore. I'm pleasantly surprised to find these guys so close to my house. Thorough exam with the latest in eye care technology and a great selection of eyeglasses. Judy spent some time with me to find the right pair. I do appreciate her time and patience with me as I tried on so many and narrowed it down to 6, lol The office is nice, clean, comfortable and lots of parking in the back. Highly recommend and after my first experience, glad to have a new eye doc read more

VisionCare Specialists - My new specs. Geek chic - Optometrists Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

New to the area, I was looking for a new eye doctor my family could go to and my husband raved about this location and decided to try them out. The staff working there was was friendly and helpful. It's easier to get an appointment during the week and you might be placed on a waitlist if you're aiming for a Saturday. With Saturday my only option, I waited for the call to get my appointment confirmed. When you're in the waiting area, they have a TV with an eye informational video on top and a child play table if you have kids. While I was waiting, I toured the eye and sunglasses they have on display. I had Dr. Dave that day and she was amazing; better than the doctor I had in Jersey! During each exam, she went over what each exam was for and went over all of the results with me so I understood everything. I was also purchasing contacts and she went over all of my options and concisely answered all of my questions. I work with a lot of doctors and I'm happy she's dedicated to her patient care. I can't wait to be back next year to see her. read more

Great experience here! I had an accident involving my left eye. They took me in the same day I called them. they ran a battery of tests, and were very thorough. The staff was friendly and front desk very organized and efficient. They seem to have a lot of clients, but I didn't even wait long despite being an unplanned visit. The meds I was prescribed worked too. read more

Dr. Sam Salituro literally called me a "jerkoff" over the phone yesterday, and said i "didn't deserve my medical records." This place is extremely unprofessional. I am shocked at his behavior. read more

Everyone from the receptionist to the doctor was warm and friendly and really took the time to educate me on my terrible eyesight and the astigmatism that accompanies it. Even making the last-minute appointment was hassle-free. I'm glad I was recommended to this place and it's no wonder they have such a high rating. My absolute favorite thing about his place is that while knowledgeable and professional, the staff not once tried to up-sale me on any of their product or became pushy when I told them I wanted to order my own contacts. read more

I've been going here for over 10+ years. The place is super clean all the time and it has a great setup. They've tons of glasses to choose from and they also have a section for non brand name glasses which are a lot cheaper. I bought some and they're still good after 2+ years. I continue going here for my annual checkup and I've always loved going to the eye doctor. Everyone makes you feel very welcomed and makes sure that everything goes smoothly. I never had any issues of service when going here. They do make you feel like family which is awesome since not a lot of places do that for their clients. I suggest everyone go here if they need an eye doctor. Everyone here is amazing and you will be in good hands. read more

I've come to VisionCare for about 16 years now, and I would highly recommend them. Dr. Sam and any of the doctors I have seen are great people and are extremely dedicated to providing the best service possible. I pay out of pocket and would not even entertain going somewhere else. Go see them and you won't be disappointed! read more

These people are amazing. I finally decided to get contacts after I heard about mono vision from our Fabulous Carol K and toss my many pairs of reading glasses. I am very nervouse about touching my eyes and did not look forward to my consultation. Dr. Salituro and Dr. Ann was very patient and made me feel very comfortable by explaining every single detail and answering all my crazy questions. My children have been going here for the last few years and it is good find out they cater to not so brave as well :-) Great, affordable and stylish collection of frames. Unlike the other place I use to get my glasses from, they did not try to up sell everything but the kitchen sink. I highly recommend Visioncare Specialist. Thank you Carol K for sharing your beauty secret :-) read more

As a new Illinois resident, I have a hard time switching dr's from back home, but it is becoming impossible to travel and coordinate appointments when I am home. I called on a Wednesday, and was able to get an appointment for the Saturday the same week! When I arrived I was greeted right away and by very friently staff! The office is new, and very clean and kept up! All the employees are uniformed, which I believe shows organization, class and professionalism! I knew right away that I had found a GEM, and have a customer for life!!!!! A special thanks to Dr. Andrew Kohn, his assistant that performed the exam, and Anne Hughes who helped me with my new glasses frames! read more

We had an excellent experience with Dr. Sam! Love the staff and my kids think going to the eye doctor is "super cool" - they want to go again and look at their "eyeball pictures." Staff is incredible and super-friendly; they make sure you're taken care of and are crystal clear in explaining your benefits. We'll definitely be back - and you bet I'll refer others. read more

Everyone here is so nice it's amazing. Glasses and contacts are prices great, and come in fast. We drive 40 to come here. Only place to go read more

A practice that truly cares, values, and connects with people! VisionCare Specialists have been my "go-to" for years!! Dr. Sam Salituro and staff consistently provide the very best exams and consultations. Always a friendly, professional, and clean atmosphere. Frontline equipment ensures a thorough exam; and a clear, detailed explanation is sure to follow. Any questions or concerns are welcome and never rushed. I am severely near-sighted and have found the best total care with VisionCare Specialists. I especially recommend ordering glasses, as I am pretty particular about minimizing lens thickness and not making my eyes look like tiny dots -just saying. They get it right every time! :) I would recommend anyone seeking general or comprehensive eye care to schedule a visit! Thank you for being so awesome for all these years!! read more

My glasses broke. Both hinges were very slightly bent, and one hinge had lost its screw. They are the spring loaded kind which are a huge pain to reconnect. I brought them in here because I was in the area, but had never been here before. There's a sign on the desk that says $5 minimum for repairs to glasses not sold by them. Well, I bought these glasses in Texas, before I moved to Chicagoland. But I was ready to pay, since these are great glasses and I needed them to be wearable. Well, after several friendly and informative updates, over the space of half an hour, with several people all making attempts at an annoyingly fussy repair, my glasses were back in my hands, fixed, clean, sturdy and ready to wear. "How much do I owe you?" I knew it'd be at least $5, but figured half an hour from three or four employees would cost a good bit more. "Nothing. Just, you know, next time you need glasses..." Yep. You've won me over. Good work, multiple friendly people, clear communication, and a free repair? Five stars. read more

Loved this place. I haven't had many eye exams in my life, making me a little nervous. Regardless, I was so impressed with their care! Alyssa was genuine and personable, the front desk was helpful and prepared, and Dr. Sam was as nice and knowledgeable as they come. I had a limited time frame on short notice and they fit me in. Couldn't imagine going anywhere else :) read more

Everyone in the office is welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The optometrists are knowledgeable and kind. I saw Dr. Forum Dave, and she took her time with my eye exam and answered all questions I had with patience. The office environment is great. I would recommend this office to everyone! read more

Years ago, I really didn't care where I went to get glasses each year. Now I would definitely think twice before going anywhere else. The staff at VCS has gotten to know us well over the years and treats us like friends or family. They provide great explanations of what their doing and why, and are always willing to answer any questions we have about our eyes, insurance, or corrective lenses. Check 'em out! read more

They were so friendly and helpful! The doctor put me at ease during the exam and never got impatient when I struggled to hold my eyelids open for the lights and drops. When I said I'd rather keep my frames than replace them, they located and helped me order an identical set so I wouldn't be without glasses while the new lenses were fitted. Very helpful and thorough walking me through all my options, benefits plan, and final cost to me. They even made sure I understood my prescription and what it meant before I left. I couldn't have been more pleased by the service and care I received. Update: the lenses they provided me scratched easily. Later, another eye doctor said the scratch coating probably wasn't good quality. read more

The most friendliest staff I've seen in years! They were absolutely amazing with mine and my daughters visit! Explained everything thoroughly and made it a very enjoyable eye exam visit! Thanks so much .. highly recommend read more

Recently went for an eye appointment after things started getting a little blurry. Met with two of the doctors. Great experience! Everything was explained clearly. The exam was thorough. They also researched a specialist and called the next day with the information. Office staff was very friendly. I had a lot of help choosing frames, which was great because I had no idea what I was doing. Other patients walking in seemed to know the staff and were greeted warmly. Very neighborly and cute. The parking lot is easily accessible and the building is clearly markd and easy to find. Very reasonable hours, they seem to understand that not everyone can come in for an appt at 10am on a Tuesday. The office is very clean, equipment is up to date, large selection of frames. Would recommend for eye care needs. read more

I have been going to see Sam and Dr. Kohn for years now. My father and I both have been patients here, and they are truly a wonderful group of people. My dad travels a lot and the staff(especially Gloria) have gone above and beyond to work with my dad's schedule and provide the contacts/glasses and care that he needed when he needed it. Even now, I continue to go here for all of my vision needs even though is it well over an hour away. Sam and Dr. Kohn are very thorough and they both want their patients to understand what is going on as well as provide insight and explanation to what they are looking for in regards to the images that they take of your eye. Really Great experience all around. Already scheduled my annual exam for next year read more

Whole family has had fantastic experiences for over 3 years. Great service, honestly, and value.

Dr. Sam and majority of staff are great. The lady who helps you pick out glasses - super rude!!! Took my business elsewhere.

Dr. Kohn is seriously the best! I went there last July for exam for contacts and glasses, the staff are so courteous and very polite. They always greet you and are very friendly. I was given the best service and 100% attended to. I have had issues with my contacts and Dr. Kohn has been so accommodating and very helpful in trying to get me the correct lenses and make sure I am comfortable in my lenses. He has seen me multiple times and always followed up and been so patient and understanding whenever I had an issue. All in all I love this place! Would definitely recommend them to anyone :) read more
