We had a wonderful experience at this office. The staff was extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful from the moment we arrived. The eye exam was very thorough, and I was especially impressed that they offer Optomap retinal imaging as an alternative to traditional dilation. It was great to have that option available. The doctor was excellent—kind, patient, and knowledgeable with both me and my 8-year-old son. He took the time to make us feel comfortable and answered our questions thoroughly. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for quality eye care. A wonderful experience all around! 😊

Dr. Bodofsky and his team of EXCELLENT staff members have always provided my family and me with the absolute best care. They are professional, welcoming, and genuinely take the time to listen—which is something that seems to become rarer and rarer these days. There is no substitute in the world for having a GREAT doctor that you can rely on, and I cannot recommend Dr. Bodofsky and his staff enough! If you are in the area and in need of people you can truly count on, and an amazing selection of frames as well, then look no further. Great care, great people, and even greater clarity! :) Thank you for always taking such wonderful care of us, and we look forward to seeing you again!!

Was given incorrect prescription and told to wear the glasses that I'd bought and I'd get used to them. I had to go to another doctor to get the correct prescription who said the one I got was way off. Gave the glasses I paid for to the Lyons because I couldn't wear them.

The other reviews here must be fake. This office refused my wife and 3 children when my wife called about a replacement pair of glasses for my daughter who lost her glasses in the creek. The wouldn't give her my daughters prescription claiming it had expired 20 days prior. They booted them all out of their system claiming my wife was aggressive on the phone. You who scribbled all over the prescription before finally sending it, the same person who deleted my family, you are spineless, and worthless. Thank you. We will find someone else to take our money for 4 of my family members glasses needs. It is funny, that since this situation that brought me into these conversations, many people have told me about you terrible ways.
