My experience at Kendall Optical was mixed. The doctor is exceptional—highly knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely caring. They take the time to clearly explain diagnoses and treatment options, which made me feel comfortable and well-informed throughout my visit. Unfortunately, the front desk staff did not reflect the same level of professionalism. Their demeanor came across as consistently rude and, at times, passive-aggressive, which significantly detracted from the overall experience and made me feel uncomfortable during my visit. This pattern of behavior suggests a need for immediate attention by management. The front desk team would greatly benefit from comprehensive retraining in customer service and patient interaction, or, if improvements cannot be made, replacement with staff who can uphold a more professional and respectful standard. Given this experience, I would recommend considering alternative providers such as West Kendall Eye Care or Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, where patients may receive a more consistently professional and welcoming experience. While the quality of care provided by the doctor at Kendall Optical is outstanding, the negative interactions at the front desk overshadow what would otherwise be an excellent patient experience.

Dr. Hernández is truly amazing, and I have absolutely no complaints about him as a doctor. Unfortunately, my experience with one member of his staff has been very disappointing. On 01/06/2025, I called the office after receiving a voicemail asking me to reschedule my appointment. The staff member who answered the phone was extremely rude and unprofessional. This is not the first time I’ve had an unpleasant interaction with this individual, which ultimately led me to decide not to continue attending the clinic. I consider myself a very patient and passive person, but the lack of basic courtesy made the situation unacceptable. Unfortunately, I did not catch her name, and I want to be clear that the rest of the staff I’ve encountered have been friendly and professional. This review is not meant to reflect on the entire team. It’s truly a shame to have to stop seeing a great doctor due to repeated negative interactions with front office staff. People skills matter, especially in a healthcare setting.

I had a great experience at Kendall Optical getting my first pair of glasses. The staff was incredibly patient and took the time to walk me through everything, which made the whole process feel comfortable and stress-free. Jerry the optometrist also did a thorough exam and checked my overall eye health, explaining things clearly along the way. I never felt rushed, and they made sure I felt confident in my choices. Truly a welcoming and professional place—I highly recommend Kendall Optical.
