Update: after many more years of great service my daughter was having major issues being able to see. After a lot of help from Dr. DeRose she is hopeful again! They go above and beyond! We have been coming here for 4 years now. 2 of my kids wear glasses as well as myself. We absolutely love the pediatric optometrists. They are very thorough and always very sweet. My kids always feel very comfortable with them and enjoy their visits. My younger daughter is a little rough on her glasses but they always take care of the issues we have and are always polite. I highly recommend them

Pretty disappointed with mountain vista eye care, be a patient for easily the last 10 years, upon my last visit I was given a prescription with the incorrect date on it, now 4 voice mails and a week and a half later with still no resolution from mountain vista staff. I understand people get busy but at this point there simply no excuse for just not doing your job. The lack of attentiveness or even the lack of caring for a patient is very disappointing. Time to look for new optometrist, I guess. Would not recommend they'll only waste your time with apathetic staff.

Disgusting practices! Very unprofessional! The lense and frame tech lady was the worst I've ever dealt with! I've been coming here for 10years and everything was perfect, I came in Friday to swap my glasses and the woman used some sort of solution that stripped the film on my lenses and completely ruined my lenses and ability to see out of them! Can ein with perfect lense left not being able to see, will be calling Monday to resotthis issue with the manager, otherwise I may need to proceed with legal actions.

I'll never come here again! Came here to get my lenses swapped, wanted nearly 45min for the woman to bring back my glasses with what looked like where lenses covered with dirty finger prints. Come to find out she cleaned my lenses with some sort of solution the stripped the film off my lenses! Now I'm leaving now even seeing properly! What a mistake of a trip this was! Never go here
