I have been going to Optix for years for their excellent frame selection and optician customer service. I absolutely love April. I have a small face and they carry frames that fit and flatter my face. My favorite frames are Kliik and they consistently carry a nice selection of frames and have even been willing to order a frame or two for me to try before purchasing. I also have unique eyes (I have an eye condition called esotropia) and April has been the best at working with me to make sure I find the most appropriate frames and lenses for my eyes as well as ensuring the lenses are aligned correctly. She’s also the best at adjusting the frames so they are comfortable, look great and optimized my vision.

Dr. Newman and his staff are great! Very professional and friendly. Highly recommend!
Dr. Newman is such a gem! My entire family has been going to him for 20+ years. He is very knowledgeable and kind. Dr. Newman and his staff are always courteous and helpful. I would recommend his practice to anyone looking for a great optometrist!
Best eye exam appointment ever! I was seen on time & was surprised that Dr. Newman himself did all of the diagnostics for my eyes, versus a technician - which is what I was used to having just relocated from CA. Dr. Newman was very patient & explained everything, every step of the way, in language I could understand. The receptionist was great too! Although they were booked into Nov., she was kind enough to call me when they had a cancellation & I was able to see the doctor just three days after I called. All in all, a great experience all around!
I've been going to Optix Eyecare and seeing Dr. Newman now for roughly 10 years. It's always a great experience. He's very thorough and professional and appears to be using the latest in technology. When I was trying out contacts several years ago, he gave me a couple of different pair to try just to see if they worked for me (including bifocal contacts). The front office staff are friendly and helpful as well. And April, who handles everything related to the ordering of frames and lenses (including addressing any issues) is really easy to work with. She has a very broad knowledge of lenses and lens manufacturers, which comes in handy when trying to make a decision on the different treatments that are available for lenses (e.g. anti-glare coating, transition lenses, etc.) She's also very knowledgeable about insurance plans. They take VSP if you're lucky enough to have that insurance plan. You can't go wrong having your eyes taken care of by Dr. Newman and his staff.
