I’ve been coming here for years, I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write a review. I love this place. This was round the corner from me when I first started, and I have since moved boroughs and will NOT switch eye doctors. The staff is so so so lovely. Frankly, it’s a majority female staff and that’s the magic. I’ve been seen by a male doctor before and he was also lovely, no shade there. But for real, these wonderful ladies at the front are everything. The energy in the room is just so good! You can tell everyone likes each other and it’s so friendly and warm! On top of that, they make all the confusing medical/insurance mumbo jumbo less stressful and actually make sense. They have repeatedly helped me figure out ways to pay when finances were tight, and have always so extremely helpful and non-judgmental. Big shouts out to Catherine and Silvia who I’ve worked with over the years, they are both absolute delights. They remember me every time, and always have the biggest smiles on their faces! TLDR; this place is great and it’s due to the fabulous female staff. Come here if you want to not hate going to the eye doctors and want a friendly stress-free experience.

I recently visited this place. There was a few hiccups but it took them almost 24 hours to send me my prescriptions. Under FTC law they are required to give me that paperwork when I leave. The ladies at the front are SO rude and unprofessional. It felt like dealing with high school girls. I called again and turns out she sent it to the wrong email…..I see there’s quite a few other reviews on here that also discuss the ladies at the front and their rude behavior. It sucks because the optometrist was amazing but I wouldn’t be back here just because of the women at the front. I think her name is Anna. Don’t reccomend if you want a pleasant experience and to leave with your paperwork on time.

I had a great experience at Eye and Health. Dr.Latek made me feel so comfortable and the team was amazing in explaining ways I can save money on my contacts. Will definitely be back!

I came in to get some contact lenses, but I wasn't able to provide them with prescription since I was travelling from abroad. They ended up giving me spare ones instead! The clerk was super nice, and very accomodating. Props to them 👍👍👍

Dr. Latek is one of the best eye doctors I have come across! She was so knowledgeable, had excellent bed side manner, and answered all my questions. I will return!
