Our Customer's Voice

I went in a few weeks ago to get my eyes examined. The entire staff was very nice and helpful. Mr Tony was very down to earth and helped me understand everything about vision and lenses. I would highly recommend this place to anyone for all your vision needs!

Yesterday we went for an exam for my daughter to be fitted for contact lenses. Mark was super patient and helpful with her trying I'm the contacts. He was knowledgeable and kind as this was her first time trying on contacts. Afterwards Hilary looked up what the most affordable options were and answered all of our questions, again knowledgeable and kind. We didn't purchase anything so I can't speak on products but the service was great!

I did some price comparisons before I decided to make an appointment with Stanton for contacts. Since I have astigmatism most places up-charge for that but when I was on the phone with one of their rep he assured me it was $89 regardless of my astigmatism or not so I was pretty ecstatic about that. Made my appointment for the next day. When I came in, Hillary was the first to greet me even though she was helping another customer, which I would've understood if she hadn't since she was already helping someone out. She got me checked in very quickly after and was very pleasant. John was also very helpful and extremely nice as well. He told me just the right information I needed so I didn’t have a lot of questions after and kept me informed of my prescription through out the entire process. After the eye exam, because their prices were pretty awesome I decided to grab a six month supply of contacts for 130, and a pair of glasses for around 15, since Hillary gave me an option of purchasing a pair of glasses with a promotion price with ordering the contacts as well. I went home with a pair of contacts on the spot since they had my prescription, and only spent 370. Which seems like a lot for even myself because this is my first time purchasing eye glasses and contacts for myself, but I got a pretty good deal compared to how much I would’ve spent with with my previous optometrist that my dad goes to (with much better customer service as well) and other optical stores. Plus my appointment was at 10, and I was out in 45-50 minutes, which I spent about 15-20 of that looking at frames for myself. Over all my first experience here was awesome. I did read the reviews from previous years before I even decided to come here when there were a lot of complaints but my experience has been nothing but very professional and pleasantly easy. I’m definitely coming back here from now on for any problems and optical needs I might have.

My experience here is always great! I was helped by Daisy who had the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. She made my process so easy and helped me find the best deal! I definitely recommend this place! Also, I received my glasses in a short amount of time. They make an effort to get it done when you need it. Thanks Daisy for being awesome! Also thanks to the tech who worked on my specs! I appreciate it!

I came in for a new pair of glasses and another 6 month supply of contacts, expecting to spend well over $300. The manager, Tony, helped me out and he was so personable and helpful. He was able to save me almost $180! I felt relieved leaving and knowing I got a really good deal.
