Gontarek was my first optometrist visit in over four years because life happens. From the moment I…read morecalled to schedule the appointment the Gontarek team was kind and helpful. The office itself can be a pain to get into as it is on the corner of Battlefield and Kempsville, but once you are inside, the pride and care in their practice is obvious. The waiting area is open and bright, and the glasses looking/fitting are is bright, warm, and inviting. I showed up about 10 minutes early to my appointment and was called back on time. I opted to have the retinal imaging as opposed to the standard eye dilation, and was surprised at the cost as it was $5-$10 more expensive than my kids' optometrist. I will say, the doc was thorough and listened, and did not seem rushed to get me out of the office. I received a good discussion on the results of the exam, and then was given everything I needed to request a referral from my primary care for follow up appointments. Overall a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend them.

We were greeted immediately by Reno, who gave us time to look around without hovering. Reno was so patient and kind. He answered all my questions and took me over to see the different color of lenses available several times, each time with a smile and a "Lets look again, I want you to be sure." Amanda had on these fantastic glasses, I asked her if she sold those in store, she said she would check to see if she had any and if not she would order them if she could. She could!! She did not have any in stock so without hesitation she says, "You can try my glasses." She took her glasses off, popped out the lenses, cleaned and sanitized them and allowed me to try them on, I LOVED them. So I was measured (with Amandas frames) =) and put in my order for them. My husband was able to find a pair of sunglasses he really liked. Reno also gave him information on the smart glasses that he was eyeing. Stacy was very knowledgeable in explaining the awesome foundation Onesight - they provide free eye exams and eyeglasses to those most in need. My husband and I enjoyed our time @ Lens crafters -1600 Crossways Blvd. Thank you again Reno, Stacey and Amanda, we can not wait to get the texts that our glasses are ready!! See you soon!!

We usually go to the Kempsville location but my wife scheduled an appointment at this location…read morebecause Dr. Lee is here on Saturdays and she wouldn't have to use sick time at work. We live in Virginia Beach though and the commute was HORRIBLE. We ended up getting to her appointment after the 10 minute grace period. I was frustrated and wanted to go home until I walked through the door and interacted with the staff, starting with Angela. The staff at Beach Eye Care were wonderful throughout this whole situation. I explained our situation to Angela and she listened emphatically and went back to see if she could squeeze my wife in. I wasn't expecting them to be able to do anything and they were so backed up that they couldn't take her but I'm so appreciative that she got out of her seat and even asked. I discussed with Myra and we decided that since we drove an hour and 25 miles to get out here we might as well ask about doing a walk in eye glass purchasing appointment. I didn't think they did walk ins but was pleasantly surprised when Vicki said we could. All we had to do was go schedule it at the front desk. After waiting a minute for someone to return to the front desk Vicki just came and took us back. Even though Myra couldn't do her eye appointment Vicki made our trek worth it and was able to help us both get straight with our glasses. Vicki has such an optimistic demeanor. She really made my wife feel beautiful and confident. She heard my needs and priorities as well and I got some prescription sunglasses for less than $200 out of pocket and they don't look bad at all. The sunglasses will be primarily used for driving since my transitions don't work in the car. I'm very pleased with this location and Beach Eye Care's exceptional customer service.

This was the first time out here at the Chesapeake office. We ran into HEAVY traffic on the way to…read moremy appointment and unfortunately got there 17 minutes late and I couldn't be seen for my appointment. The grace period is 10 minutes. But Angela at the front desk was so nice and helpful. She still checked with my doctor to see if it was possible for me to be seen that day. While I couldn't be seen, I was on the schedule for another appointment later in the week and me and my husband inquired about glasses. Vicki helped us pick out and find the perfect glasses. She was so sweet and patient! It took me about an hour and a half to find the right frames...there were so many great options to choose from. She went above and beyond -- she showed me different transitions lens options, activated the transitions colors multiple times so that I could get a good sense of how dark the different color options get, pulled a bunch of styles from the back, and even popped the lenses off of a pair of display sunglasses that she thought would match the glasses frame style I liked. I went with the frames in my review picture and am super excited about them! Vicki also helped my husband find a great pair of sunglasses too! Angela got us checked out and gave us some bottled water for the road. Great experience and customer service!

I think I've found a cool, lively eye exam and prescription place in the area!…read more Today I was able to get a same day eye exam AND prescription glasses at Stanton Optical. After the terrible experience I recently had at another practice, this was a breath of fresh air! I walked in and was instantly greeted with a smile from Jaielle and the rest of the staff. I explained to her that I had a bad experience at another business, so I was kind of nervous and kind of upset. Jaielle INSTANTLY helped me settle down with some laughs and walking me through the process. Something unique about Stanton is that the Doctors are virtual; I went through a few machines with Jaielle then did my eye exam with the doctor virtually. It was pretty cool and stress free. The best part of this whole experience was being able to get my glasses the same day! That is so difficult to find in this area! 10/10 I would also like to notate that the prices are reasonable! Although they do not take my insurance(eyemed) they still were able to price match OR use the discounts they have in store. I am glad I stopped by today! Please check them out if you are in need of an exam and/prescriptions! I believe they just opened in October of last year!

Good day, I wanted…read moreto share my recent experience at Pearle Vision in Chesapeake, which was absolutely horrible due to their customer service. When I walked in, I had no idea where to go and ended up standing there for 10 minutes before finally asking someone where to go for my appointment. The lady at the front desk just said to go to the back without any further assistance. Once I reached the back, everything felt rushed, including my interaction with the doctor, who seemed eager to finish quickly. This made me very uncomfortable. After my exam, the doctor left and I was instructed to return to the front desk to pay my co-pay and reschedule. When I went to pay, the customer service representative whispered loudly to a colleague about my diabetes, which is a clear violation of HIPAA. It was unprofessional and inappropriate to discuss my private medical condition aloud for other customers to hear. Following that, I sat down with another lady to get my prescription filled and glasses fitted. She was dry and unpleasant, even trying to discourage me from filling my prescription by saying it was very expensive and implying I couldn't afford it. The prescription alone was quoted at $408 plus tax. Frustrated, I left with my prescription and went to Walmart instead, where the environment was completely welcoming and the price was $200 cheaper. Based on this experience, I would never return to Pearle Vision in Chesapeake and would advise all of my friends to avoid this location. The business is rude, overpriced, and unprofessional.

I saw a sign at the first desk to sign in and it was also confirmed when the person who came in behind me was told immediately to put their name on the clipboard and patiently wait to be called. Now I have never been here before so I figured that THIS was protocol. I waited about 10 minutes before they called my name on the clipboard, just for them to tell me to go to the desk in the back and check in for my appointment. I'm a bit disappointed because nobody asked if I had an appointment when I came in... it was just put the name on the clipboard. I didn't get seen until about 25 minutes later past my appointment time. I wish they had 1. A better system or 2. More aware employees that asked more questions to point people to the direction they needed to go. I get the impression that the employees here are only to do the bare minimum here and nothing more to be of assistance. Once I got seen, it was a fairly quick process which I appreciated. Dr Patel seems very straight and the point. It seems like they only have 1 doctor working.
