This was my first experience with Warby Parker and I have to admit, I may have been a bit PREMATURELY skeptical.
My plan was to have a comprehensive eye exam and to have my prescription for contacted lenses and eyeglasses checked. Being in a dental field, my vision is very important to me so I am picky about where and who I see for eye exams. Based on other's experiences with Wally Parker, I thought I would give it a try!
I came to this location at Westfield Mall, Bethesda because of the parking conveniences..option to free park in safe feeling parking garage.
My appointment time was 2:30pm but I arrived earlier, which gave me time to spend looking at new eye glass frames WHICH ARE ABUNDANT and much fairer in price than some of the more upscale competitors...there is a great selection, stylish,, colorful, and fairly priced and I don't have to tell you the story about my VERY expensive pair being chewed up by my dog.....ugh! While waiting, the sales representatives were pleasant and very honest about my selections..whether they were too wide, too dark or just right!
So, now that this situation was taken care of.....
At appointment time, I was taken back by a very friendly staff member (wish I could remember her name!!!!!) for some initial testing and then was brought into the examination room to be examined by Dr. Cyprus. I can not say enough wonder things about this doctor! She was very thorough and professional during my eye exam, afterwhich, over the next several hours, allowed me to try on several options of strengths of contact lenses...I would put them on, walk the Mall for 30 minutes and returned to have them switched out for another optional strength of contact lenses. Those contact lenses wearers reading this know that this is what you have to go through to get it right, but I was happy with the fact that I could do it all same day since I had the time and they had the patience! In the past I have taken 5 sample strengths home with me, gotten confused with which one was better, then forget which pair was which! I know that we contact lense wearers have all been there!!! During THIS entire process, and in-between my walks around the Mall, Dr. Cyprus was taking back other scheduled patients after me, but still taking the time to come out and see if I was happy with the choice. Now, THAT'S SERVICE!
At checkout, all of my purchases (new frames with all the options along with a year supply of contact lenses) were carefully explained to me, along with being told when my shipment would arrive and all of the options, should I not be happy with my purchases after arrival.
It appears to me that this Wally Parker location (and maybe others?) work very hard at making the customers happy. They go out of their way and farther but not in a sales-pitch way.
5++++ stars for the sales team and Dr. Cyprus, you will be seeing me for my next eye exam and I am looking forward to that visit. read more
