I have been a client at the New Rochelle location for years with minimal issues, but I unfortunately will not be returning. I received a call and voice message the day before my appointment from Jessica requesting that the appointment be pushed back. I returned the call and, after a minute of confusion on their end, they ultimately told me that keeping my original appointment time was okay. After driving an hour and paying toll and parking fees, I showed up for my appointment and they said that the doctor would not be in until an hour later. The two people behind the front desk insisted that they left a message and notified me and, even after I told them I spoke with someone who confirmed again that this time was okay, they ignored the facts. Mistakes happen and I would have taken the extra hour on my dime to wait, but the lack of accountability and apology was disheartening. I have the voicemail and call log to prove that I spoke with them the day before my appointment. My main grievance is that they made a mistake and did not apologize nor take accountability for wasting my time. Professionalism and courtesy goes a long way, and I do not hold anybody to a standard that I do not hold myself. I suggest that anybody who wants to come to this location call to confirm their appointment both the day before and the day of, unless you do not mind wasting time and money in the event of unexpected schedule changes. Again, everybody has bad days and mistakes happen, but a simple acknowledgement and apology would have easily rectified this situation. I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else. Good luck!

Exceptional Service I visited Raymond Opticians today to have my Ray-Ban prescription glasses repaired. I was assisted by Jessica, who was not only efficient and helpful but also incredibly kind. She even put on background music to make me feel comfortable as a customer—and needless to say, she chose just the right genre and song! The shop, with what seems to have a wide selection of frame brands, happens to be beautiful. Jessica and the rest of the staff certainly made my Friday extra special. The rest of the team was also welcoming and accommodating. The service was rather fast—I got my Ray-Ban glasses back in an instant. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, they even gave me a free case to protect the glasses they’d just repaired. I’m very grateful for their care and professionalism. Days run smoother and more comfortably because of people like them. Thank you for the opportunity. Five stars multiplied by seven! Happiest Friday, JAY JAY LOZANO New Rochelle, NY 2025
Exceptional Service and Wonderful Staff! I cannot say enough good things about Raymond Opticians in New Rochelle. The staff was absolutely lovely—so friendly, professional, and attentive. I came to them after dealing with an issue for months that no one else seemed able to resolve. They took the time to carefully assess everything, and in no time, they had it all sorted out. Their expertise and dedication truly set them apart. I’m so grateful for their help and will absolutely be coming back for all my vision care needs. If you’re looking for a place that genuinely cares about their customers, I highly recommend Raymond Opticians in New Rochelle!
Top Notch Service from the moment you walk in. I was greeted by an enthusiastic staff. Jessica was knowledgeable, she answered all of my questions from A to Z. She helped me pick out the perfect frame within my budget. I did not feel rushed. I observed Chris and Aislinn assisting other customers with a smile. Dr. Collins was very helpful and informative as well. She took her time with me and was very thorough. The facility was nice and clean. They have a great selection of frames. Great location. I will definitely return.
I needed help with my glasses. They went out that way for me and I really appreciate it.
