Called in to see if they took my insurance and they said they didn’t even though their website states that they do. They told me to go to the pueblo west store. I go out to the pueblo west store and they correct me and tell me that they are supposed to take my insurance. Unfortunately the pueblo west store is smaller and don’t have a large selection of glasses. I go back to the store on fortino. Answering machine, google and building window state they close at 5pm. I left work early to arrive at 4:05 to doors closed and locked. Very unprofessional business. No wonder that have a 3.7 rating

Friendly staff, sadly won’t be returning. Never got a call back about my contact trials. I know communication works both ways just a little harder when you get in a car accident and you’ll lose your car and your cell phone in the wreck. I had double Vision coverage and sadly, it was a waste of my benefits as my new optometrist stated that my prescription was all wrong. I advised I was thinking the same as I was never really able to see as well as my old prescription. Definitely please with my new provider.
Dr. Cozzetta, Dr. Buxton and the staff are the best!! 5 star. For 15 years and 2 generations I've been the recipient of their incredible work!!
These people charge you $50 for a 90 day trial contact lens fitting. 90 days which clearly states on the form you sign. They give you a five day trial and when the five days was up, I asked for another five day free trial, which they don’t pay for which they denied me and said I had to order contacts with them. If I don’t order contacts with them, they will not give me any free trials so they’re pretty much charging $50 for free trials that they get from reps. And the manager is such a rude kid. I’ve been going there for 15 years and after this experience, I will never go there again
If you are a parent then you may have experienced your child getting injured and it frightening you to the core. My son had a really scary eye injury and I called 3 different places before this office was willing to see us super short notice instead of us sitting at urgent care and not even seeing an eye doctor. This office was there for us with no questions asked. They took us right away, the doctor came in right away and gave my son a super thorough exam. He reassured us that our son would be okay and gave us drops to take home. We are not even patients there and they treated us like a patient. We will come back in the future if we need eye care for certain! I was really impressed with how nice the girls are up front, the office is clean and they have a bunch of awards on their wall from Pueblo. They were our heros today!
