We were charged over $200 above our expected out of pocket costs for services not covered by insurance, without any prior notification or consent. There was no transparency about these additional charges before the services were provided. When we brought this to their attention, the response we received was, “We’re sorry, she should have said something, she’s new.” Being new is not an acceptable excuse for failing to clearly communicate costs, especially in a healthcare setting where pricing should be discussed upfront. If you value transparency, professionalism, and honest billing practices, I would strongly suggest choosing a different optical provider. We’ve had far better experiences at Jan’s in Oakhurst, where pricing is clearly explained and you don’t leave feeling taken advantage of!

Can’t believe I didn’t leave a review sooner. Dr. Ghabour is the best!!!! I never feel rushed, she takes her time to answer my questions and genuinely find a solution for me. I actually look forward to coming in.
I have been going to Opsin for as long as I have been wearing glasses. I have never had to publicly write a review like this before which upsets me. For years this place has had great service but my recent visit left me feeling so dehumanized. The lady helping me was very unprofessional, bossy, rude, and gave me the impression that she had better things to do than assist me. Once again — I’ve never had any issues here before. But this one experience with the rudest customer service lady was beyond what I could even fathom from here. Very upsetting to see someone like this hired.
Dr Gahbour was amazing! Was was very impressed how knowledgeable she was with all my concerns. She took the time to make sure she addressed my issues and questions and set me on the path to being better! Highly recommended!
The exam was fine, but the lenses and glasses do not last long. The lenses scratch up very easily and the left arm screw housing separated from the rest of the left arm. My last 3 glasses were much better, but my prescription keeps changing unfortunately. Buy your glasses elsewhere, is my suggestion.
