Went in for a routine eye exam after work and the whole thing was super smooth. Staff was friendly, not rushed, and they actually explained my prescription clearly. Ended up grabbing new frames too. Spent around $420 total for exam + glasses, but worth it for the quality. Easy in and out, no stress, solid spot downtown.

Fantastic experience. Quick, efficient, and easy to book. The front desk, doctor, and person who checked me out were all friendly, helpful, and cheerful. It’s a lovely space, modern exam room, and nice refreshments for your very short wait. My options were thoroughly explained, my questions were answered thoughtfully, and the doctor was very kind. Great experience.
Dr.Kristina Koinoglou at the Printers Row location probably has the worst bedside manner I ever seen, I’m a nurse so that says a lot because I have worked with many providers in my career. She seemed around the same age so I thought we would connect in a sense? Sometimes older doctors are out of date but obviously great in what they do but I wanted a little change. However, her age showed and she seemed very unprofessional. Actually kind of back talked, had an attitude, and had the worst facial expressions when I talked about my symptoms. During the exam, my right eye wouldn’t focus so I couldn’t see the lines she wanted me to read. She got noticeably upset about it. Literally one of the reasons why I was there and as if I could help it?! Another time she threw her hands up in the air because I took the one tool away from my eye that I used to cover it because she didn’t say anything for a good minute so I thought I was done with that part, she could of at least communicated that and said “okay now give me one sec but keep that one eye covered”. But throwing up your hands because you were frustrated… I was very taken back to say the least. She fit me for some contacts and I took trials home, I didn’t even go back to let them know how they fit because of how unprofessional and unfriendly she was, didn’t even want to deal with her again. The contacts didn’t even fit correctly.. I can feel them move in my eye all the time. In addition, the staff at the front desk was also not great. Overall a terrible experience. Will not be going back.
Wonderful experience at this location, from check in and prep to Dr. Christina's very thorough exam and consult. They have a small selection of frames but as you search it's apparent there are many attractive options and good range of price points. Highly recommend this Solo team.
They were awesome. One of my gripes with Doctors appointments is you make the appointment for a specific time and if you’re late you get charged, however, nothing happens to the docs if they’re running behind. Not this place I arrived slightly early and they got me in right away. Dr. Koinoglou was great she explained everything for a first time glasses needer very well and did not push me to buy glasses in house at all. I’ll be back for my exam next year
