    I have been a patient there for the past two years. I emailed him a question about getting drops for my eyes (which we talked about at my last appointment.) He has been responding to me at 1AM and 11PM sending me harassing emails stating "your gonna loose your Vision" and "Let me explain, if your contacts are an issue then your a mess. I don't want you pack as a patient. wear glasses. do not email me again." Initially his office said he got hacked and that he would be calling me to apologize and explain. He never called and he never sent anything out to his patients saying his work email was compromise. At this point I doubt it was a hack and this is just how he is behaving.

    I had to wait more than an hour in the office. Very frustrating. Try to find another eye dr. - or be prepared.

    Outstanding technician. Immensely knowledgeable provider. Delightful staff…read more Some optometrists are excellent technicians and refine your prescription to perfection. Some have great knowledge bases and answer questions on eye care with in depth, accurate, and actionable advice. Dr. Glasser is both, and arguably the best at both "sides of the coin" of any optometrist I've visited in my life. Importantly, Dr. Glasser and his entire staff are efficient and pleasant. They honestly try to make your visit as pleasant as possible. In an age where healthcare tends to be actively hostile to the notion of customer service, it is refreshing.

    I have no issues with the quality of the examination or my in-person interactions with Dr. Glasser…read more(several appointments over many years). My issue is the way I was treated on my last visit by his assistant after it became apparent to her that I would not be buying frames or lenses from the practice. Her attitude immediately changed when I asked for a prescription. She stood up, went to ring up my copayment, and when she returned with the prescription she remained standing and was abrupt with me when I asked her to explain the change in my prescription, which was in a format I was not familiar with based on what I received in prior visits. I'm an educated person who wants to know how things work and what numbers actually mean, not merely to be told that "any qualified optician will understand" the prescription. I was made to feel stupid and like I was an imposition so I left and fed the prescription into ChatGPT which politely explained it to me, including how a progressive prescription can be translated into single vision distance and reading prescriptions, and what the numbers mean. AI was more polite and patient with me than the assistant. Despite having no issues with the doctor himself, I will not be returning to this practice in the future. The barriers between patients and medical information are evaporating due to AI. Doctors would be well advised to ensure that they and their staffs at least match the courtesy of ChatGPT. Update: In response to Dr. Glasser's comment, all I can say is that it would have taken his assistant less than a minute to sit down and politely explain to me the meaning of the numbers. Regardless of whether I'm dealing with an optometrist or a cardiologist, I take it upon myself to gain a thorough understanding of my heath, which is what ChatGPT provided and the assistant did not. If the doctor doesn't want to take constructive feedback on such a simple point, then I suppose that my decision to go elsewhere is the right one.

The environment was relaxed and friendly, and they actively helped me find the perfect frames. Their selection of frames was substantial, and they had a wide range of prices to fit my budget. I liked the "option" of scheduling my appointment online; their webpage was easy to navigate, and it provided me with selection dates and times to schedule. I was also able to pre-register on line. Their advanced technology assisted in providing maximum eye exam evaluation, and my doctor communicated thoroughly the results and health condition of my eyes

That shouldn't happen since I always get the extra protection, and I use a special lens cloth to clean them. Glasses are all but useless once that happens. I don't recall that ever happening before. The prescription sunglasses they made for me, at substantial expense, are an optical mess. Wavy lines, visible color prism, ill-fitting--unbearable. Gonna try another place this time now that I have a baseline.​

Unfortunately there is construction going on in the area, so it was difficult to spot the location, outside of the small flags on the exterior. Upon entering the store, we were immediately greeted, which I dug. However, I was less than pleased with the amount of people in the waiting area, which is why I chose to stand outside for the majority of the appointment/visit. I did notice that they closed/locked the door at a certain point-I'm assuming that was due to the amount of folk in the waiting room. My grandmother's appointment was scheduled for 10:40a, she may have been seen about 30 minutes after, and that is being generous. There was sanitizer available upon entry, and an area for someone to check temperatures; although, our temperatures were not checked. There were several walls of glasses available to try on, but it did not appear that they were sanitized in between customers. My grandmother saw Dr. Lee and she remarked that she really enjoys seeing him, as he is personable, and listens to her concerns. She also stated that she had a good experience with the staff.
