I’ve been a loyal America’s Best customer for as long as I’ve worn glasses — truly never had a reason to complain until now. I recently tried to get back on track with my eye care after a two-year gap due to life events. I was already disappointed to learn that in-person optometrists are no longer available at this location. Still, I kept my appointment and completed all pre-appointment paperwork online ahead of time. On the day of my visit, I arrived at 3:57 for a 3:50 appointment — seven minutes late due to factors beyond my control. I was told my appointment had been canceled with no flexibility offered whatsoever. I take responsibility for not arriving on time. But for a long-time customer who came prepared and was only seven minutes late, some basic accommodation would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, this experience has ended a relationship I’ve valued for years. I won’t be returning.

Scheduled an appointment just for them to call me to tell me they couldn’t do the exam, but I can come with my prescription to buy glasses. Like if i knew my prescription I wouldn’t need the exam now would I? Didn’t even give a reason for not being able to do exam. I’ve gotten glasses from the company before but not the same location so I don’t understand
Scheduled on a day with no doctor so had to reschedule for the day before. Appt at 520 dont get seen til 6. Dr is video only not actually there. Knew he had two more people waiting and never got back online. Rescheduled again. Going somewhere with an actual doctor. Dr Singh you suck! I will be complaining to corparate but doubt they care! Don't waste your time with this place!
Johanna was extremely helpful and patient, and remained professional in spite of delays with technology caused by the original providing optician providing remote access. Destini and Angie were additionally fantastic and extremely helpful in the selection of frames, and in providing excellent service post exam.
Mindy is very helpful and informative, while keeping it professional. She will help you find the right frames and be confident in your decision :D 5/5 ⭐️
