Found this place on Reddit, and it definitely didn’t disappoint! I called ahead and was able to get seen within a few hours. Dr. T gave me a very thorough eye exam for both glasses and contact lenses. He checked my eye pressure, peripheral vision, color vision, eyelids, and even my blink reflex. I didn’t opt for the retinal exam because I had to get back to work, but he checked my retinas without needing to dilate my pupils which was awesome. He also gave me contact lens samples to try before I committed to a brand. My paper prescription was ready within two days, and he sent me a photo of it via text. He was very patient throughout the exam, so please be patient with him too when has to juggle calling your insurance while seeing other patients. I believe he’s working alone. Excellent bedside manner, very friendly, professional. He only charged my copay, with no surprise or unnecessary extra charges. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Been seeing Dr T for three years. Prior to him treated at big hospital. What a difference! Personalized service here where time is spent helping the patient! I would not go anywhere else. I lost my glasses while traveling and contacted them and a new pair was waiting for me when I returned. Where else would that happen? They take great care with every detail …. The way you want to be treated…
I will never change where I go for eye exam. They absolutely run their business as old fashioned patient and customer centric. They won’t stop working on you until they make sure you are perfectly all set Newbury st real estate commercial has pushed them out of their old address because of Newbury street greed
Super friendly and customer-centered! It's always nice to support and visit East Asian ran businesses that remind me of home.
I have been seeing Dr. T and Dr. Ratan here for easily over 10 years, and they are just wonderful! They run their business with amazing old fashioned care and service. This place is a hidden gem! I usually call up to make an appointment only a day or two in advance and they are so accommodating. My eye exam is super thorough as Dr. T is truly passionate about his work. The frames and lenses I have gotten over the years have all been great quality and I recommend the blue light blocking lenses as someone who works on a computer all day. And all of the insurance billing is taken care of.
