Great doctors! Communication and front desk service can be inconsistent, but its run by a small team, and I think they're improving, trying to balance being accommodating whilst still being professional. Dr. Liselotte Van Landegem is super kind, personable, and knowledgeable. It really feels like she cares about her patients. She explains things thoroughly. This office is a little more out of the way than my previous eye doctor's office, but her care really makes the trip more worth it. I've had mixed experiences with the checkout process and overall front desk organization over the past couple of months. Sometimes, I wouldn't get my documents in the email (e.g. prescription, receipts, etc.) and I would need to reach out for them. Other times, I'd receive them immediately. Sometimes, they would forget to schedule a follow-up appointment during the checkout process. Seems like you can either schedule appointments with them with the front desk or through ZocDoc. Sometimes they wouldn't respond to emails or pick up calls. The actual clinical care provided makes up for the administrative inconsistencies, but I think they are improving.

My experience here has always been great. Dr. Liselotte is fantastic—thorough, knowledgeable, and super nice. Unlike previous optometrists I've been to, they don't try to upsell you on a bunch of products and services here. Plus, their frame selection is great!
DO NOT GET YOUR PRESCRIPTION HERE. They completely messed up the one thing you’re supposed to get right: the prescription. They gave me a prescription that had astigmatism WAY higher than what I actually needed. As a result I got and wore glasses that constantly made me feel dizzy. It was only months after that I rechecked the prescription and found out they completely incorrectly gave me a prescription that was not right. Also the attitude of the employees was hostile and they tried to do the retinal scan without telling me that it cost extra and then fought me when I asked for a refund.
This office is great. Nobody's pushy here. Aaron at the front desk is helpful, informative and kind. I've seen two doctors for an annual exam and they were both patient and thorough, and made sure all my questions were answered before they let me leave. It's an overall lovely place to get your eyes checked.
I recently visited West Village Eye for the first time for a routine eye exam and a new prescription and came away very impressed...I definitely plan to go here from now on. Dr. Van Landegem was very thorough, knowledgeable and kind. She took plenty of time to answer my questions and walk me through a few different options to suit my specific needs for different sets of glasses based on how I use them day-to-day until I was completely confident with my choice. I highly recommend her-- A+
