Excellent, smooth & FUN experience during most recent visit. All the staff were warm, professional and seemed to care about patient concerns. Whether it was Roxie at the front desk with her expert contact lens knowledge, Dr. Thomas’ professional & warm approach to my eye care concerns or Veronica showing me a thousand frames which we eventually narrowed down to two (yes, I did treat myself), I can not say enough! Thank you for your attentiveness and care. See you soon for more try ons!!

I am new to the city and have not found a new eye doctor yet, my glasses recently broke and this was the closest place to my job. Monika was very sweet with helping me fix my glasses and did it without a charge. She has tremendous knowledge about glasses and was very patient with a million questions I asked her. She was also able to confirm that they take my insurance and even though I do not have a prescription there she did go over my plan and explained what my VSP copays would be if I came back to her office. Retail places need more people like her who are truly valuable to businesses. Will definitely go back to see her to get my new pair of glasses and her professional , friendly service !
TLDR - Definitely come here for the eye doctors, but be wary of the eyeglass buying experience (make sure you seek out Monika or Denise for a pleasant experience). My experience with Dr Hollander was nothing short of exceptional. He listened to and addressed all my concerns, and even educated me on my concerns. I am definitely making all future appointments with Dr Hollander. My issue comes with my eyeglass purchase experience. I was assisted by Manager Joon. He made no effort for small talk, didn’t offer me lens options, just flat out told me what my total would for replacement lens for my current frames. I brushed this experience off as “maybe he was having a bad day” and “maybe this just how they operate here.” I paid and went about my day. Fast forward to when I pick up my glasses. I witness the level of care and attention that Monika and Denise were giving to their customers. It was a whole different world compared to the care I was given when purchasing my glasses. Both Denise and Monika were explaining every aspect of the purchase process to the customers sitting in the chair. At that point I was jealous and disappointed that my experience, especially as a first time patient and customer, was nowhere near decent as these customers were having. To add to the disappointment, I overheard Denise talking to her client about how to maxizime her insurance benefits. Had someone taken the time to explain how to maximize the use of my benefits, I definitely would have walked spending more than I did during my initial visit.
I had such a wonderful experience with this location. They take all of my concerns seriously are so helpful and friendly and diligent in communicating. They are on time and explain everything perfectly. I had an especially good experience with Veronica who gave me all sorts of insightful information and was so kind! Happy to all Sight Improvement my eye care home.
I had a great experience at MyEyeDr. Staff are professional and courteous. Special shout out to Monika who helped me pick out frames for my regular glasses and sunglasses. She is super helpful, has excellent taste and you can rely on her for an honest opinion. 😎
