Everything about this place is inconvenient. You have to make an appointment just for a pick up for glasses or contacts. It’s ridiculous. They are closed on Wednesdays, and they are always busy. I waited an hour and half (past my appointment time) for an eye exam just to find out I was evaluated for contacts instead against my wishes. As I’m writing this, I’ve been waiting 20 minutes just to simply pick up my glasses. I’ve asked 3 times for a receipt and haven’t gotten one. Despite what their website says, you can make appointments online, you have to call…and hope they pick up. And despite your appointment time, you are going to wait a very long time so get settled in. Not to mention they have an entire wall of frames, with no signage, that aren’t available. I was told you need “a special insurance” for that and you can’t even purchase the frames out of pocket. I’m a pretty patient person but I deeply regret all the time I’ve spent in their waiting room this month and I will not be coming back.

Me and my husband's first time here and we loved the professionalism, experience, very clean and you get everything done in the same place. Thank you for what you and your staff does. Mr. & Mrs. Hall
Man I love this place CUSTOMER SERVICE IS GREAT! from front desk to the eye doctor. I actually tried somewhere else before, but customer service brought me right back .
My first time here, very clean and comfortable, I was seen at my appointment time, everyone was friendly and professional and they did a thorough exam. I've been to many eyeglass places and I will definitely be back; they're also a black owned owned business!
My experience here was great. The Doctor answered all my questions, and was very polite. Nice selection of glasses and contacts for your price range. The other staff members were all nice and polite. A great one to go to.
