I am not usually one to write reviews, but it has been a few days and this is still on my mind. I first off want to say what that there are some great staff at this location. I enjoyed the doctor he was nice and took his time during the apointment and it felt like he was focused on my care and not worried about what he has to next. The lady that helped me pick out my glasses was great, she was fun to talk with and had great customer service. The two guys that helped me get my new glasses adjusted here also great. The real reason I am writing this is because the ladies at the reseption counter mostly just the one was very rude. If it was once I might just brush it off as shes having a bad day, but both time I came in once for the appointment and then again to pick up my glasses she just made me feel like an unwewelcome nuisance. What really got me was when I went to pick up my glasses they were busy, I walked up to the counter and her tone was very unfrend when she asked me why I was there I told her I was there to pick up my glasses. She said so is everyone else its going to be a while, I said no problem take your time and she No is going to be a while go sit down. Now if im being honest did I enjoy the wait no, but I wasn't upset about that it was how she said it. As someone who works in cutomer service I know how important that person at the front is. They are the face of your complany, and a custumer first impresson can either make or break you. If someone is to come in and meet the rude lady at the counter and just walk out they will never know how great the people working behide her are. I hope this problem can be fixed because as of right now I don't feel comfortable returning to this location in the future. I will likely have to drive farther to go to another Visonworks.

Today I had a telehealth eye exam and left very happy! It became busy while I was in my exam but all staff were happy and accommodating to those waiting. Ben was awesome!! He helped me decide which glasses were most welcoming to my face and he took his time with me, didn't feel rushed at all. The only negative comment I have is for Iris the AI examiner, it was horrendous. It spoke to often and too quickly giving instructions and asking which slide looks better. The technician had to get the Dr on the call to do the exam again because she could see the results weren't correct. Staff-A++++ Iris- F---- I'll be back in the future♥️
I arrived at the mall on time, but because I couldn’t find their location, I was five minutes late and I acknowledge that. Because they schedule their telemedicine appointments 20 minutes apart, of course they would not see me. Why does telemedicine translate to companies like this making more money by just treating us even more like cattle. But the two stars is not even because of that, it’s because of the poor attitude of two of the three women that were there. The unfriendly woman that went in back to check to see if I would be seen didn’t even acknowledge me when she came back out, and then when I asked her about whether or not I would be seen, she wouldn’t give me an answer, and instead directed me to a woman who was on the phone, and when that woman got off the phone, she couldn’t even give me a clear answer. She could’ve easily said I’m sorry, but we can’t see you today but somehow she couldn’t even bother to do that. Their customer service skills are terrible. A third woman (trying to be helpful - thank you) said that I could wait and see whether the next person showed up or not but by that time I just wanted to leave. I have been a Visionworks customer for 10 years, but that ended today. If you are going to use Vision Works, I recommend the Niskayuna location.
Have been going to this location for several years and will continue to do so. Dr Espinola is very good at making you feel at ease and explaining everything going on with your vision. Karen and the rest of the staff treat you nice and appreciate you for coming in. Would recommend to everyone.
Very accommodating, pleasant staff, timely with my appointment, great overall experience, would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for an enjoyable experience for eye care!
