Report
Came in a few weeks to get a new pair of glasses. Was quoted a price point of $36 for the blue light filter for my lenses. Come back just 3 weeks later, and now since they have had a change of "ownership" the price went up to $96. $60 increase in just 3 weeks. Yeah, just lost my business. Don't quote things if you can't honor them. Completely outrageous, and none of the staff could directly answer why.
Just said, the cost increased. Refused to honor the price I was told. So if I were you, I wouldn't go here. They will tell you whatever they can to get you to order glasses and lenses, and then when it's time to order/ pick them up, BAM. Cost went up. Absolutely ridiculous. If I could give zero stars I would. Will never return to this place.

If I could give no stars that's what I would do. Company not professional at all. Call me 30 min. Before my appointment to tell me that it would be a charge. Ok. Why wasn't I told when I scheduled my appointment SAM!? Why wasn't my appointment scheduled for the follow up but instead scheduled me for a yearly SAM. Why am I the one blame and being charged!? SAM!

Report
Trying to do business with them currently for a pair of prescription safety glasses. So far I'm very disappointed in the customer service. First visit, they told me what I wanted wasn't available, spoke with a Co worker who got exactly what I wanted from them, but he also said it was like pulling teeth. I went back and asked about the product again, and they said they would have to order in a frame for me. OK.
But then they tried to sell me on the other ones again I already told them I wasn't interested in. Two weeks later, still hadn't heard anything. Called in at lunch, left message with other worker who said she'd have the lady I'm dealing with call me back. Never called. Called this morning for status, still waiting for call back. This review could get better if they salvage this transaction by acting like they actually want my business and want me to get the product that is right me. I guess we'll have to see if their manner improves.

Great customer service.called during after hours and one of the on call doctors met me at the clinic and attended to my eye injury with ample patience and kindness. I will never forget the attention and relief I received from this clinic.
