We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Marina Miguel at Vision Eye Center. She conducted eye exams for both my husband and me, and we were genuinely impressed by her professionalism, thoroughness, and care. Dr. Miguel took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all our questions patiently, and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the process. It never felt rushed—she was attentive and detail-oriented, which gave us a lot of confidence in her assessment. Overall, we would highly recommend Dr. Miguel to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and thorough eye doctor. We’re glad we found her and will definitely be returning for future visits.

I would give zero stars if I could. The exam itself went very well—the doctor was excellent. Unfortunately, everything after that was a complete nightmare. I was told my child’s glasses would be ready in 2 weeks. When I returned, they weren’t ready. A week later, I was told the frame I selected wasn’t available and it would take another 2 weeks. They also claimed my insurance was “difficult to work with,” which I know is not true—I’ve worked in the optical field before, and this insurance typically has a very fast turnaround. To verify, I contacted the insurance company directly. They informed me that no order had even been placed by the store. After confronting the store with this information, the glasses “miraculously” arrived within a week—6 weeks after the initial visit. On top of that, the frame wasn’t even the one I chose, but I accepted it since my child urgently needed them. When the glasses later broke and I requested a replacement, the same pattern repeated. I was told 3 weeks, then delayed again. Once again, my insurance confirmed no order had been submitted. Only after I confronted the store did the glasses suddenly arrive within a week. This experience was frustrating, time-consuming, and unacceptable. I strongly recommend going somewhere that values transparency and customer care.

Myself and My Four Children been a patient at this Eye center for the past 15 years now and We have always had a positive experience until recent change of Management. Sarah Salazar (Owner as per Sarah) is the worst business owner ever to get on the phone with. She seemed very disorganized, had very poor communication skills, and appointments are not handled efficiently. Sadly I now have to change eye doctors because recently I had a horrible phone encounter with Sarah Salazar (OWNER) . She called very aggressive and very rude, wanting my insurance information to order my glasses. Mind you I went to go get fitted in February 2026. I THOUGHT THE GLASSES WAS BEING PROCESS THIS ENTIRE TIME. Never HAVE I EVER experience this type of unprofessionalism in my life. As a long time patient, It is very disappointing to see such a decline in service. I really hope Sarah will take these concerns seriously and work on how to improve patient experience. Don't even waste your time coming here. Horrible services and long wait times, lack of Communication!

The place is great . Staff is awesome , please ask for Isaac he is great and very professional. I’m very happy I got my eyeglasses in 2 weeks exactly. The appointment for the eye was very quick and the waiting period at the office was reasonable . Didn’t wait too long to see the eye specialist .
