The person that was in the office refused to run my health insurance for a possible discount therefore charging me the full price for the exam (over $100). Frames for an 8 year old were over $100 and very few options. I'd suggest going somewhere else for your exam/frames as this location appears to not care about helping families with affordable exams/glasses.

I had an absolutely awful experience at Pearle Vision in Gainesville, GA, and I strongly advise anyone considering this location to take their business elsewhere.
The receptionists are rude, dismissive, and incredibly unknowledgeable. I was given a prescription that was clearly 5–6 years old, not the new one the doctor had just prescribed. When I returned explaining that I could not see properly and that the prescription on the box was my old one (which I know because I can read and understand prescription details), I was told I was wrong and that they had done nothing incorrectly.
It is unbelievable to be argued with about your own vision. Telling a patient they’re wrong when they can’t see and are pointing out a very obvious error is not only unprofessional, it’s negligent.
To make matters worse, when I later called to request a copy of my prescription to be emailed or mailed to me, I was told I would have to physically come into the location to get it—despite the fact that this office is over an hour away from my home. This information was completely incorrect. Thankfully, someone from the call center overheard the conversation, stepped in, and sent me my prescription themselves—clearly because the receptionist either did not know what she was doing or simply didn’t want to do her job.
No accountability. No effort to correct mistakes. Just attitude and misinformation.
Even if the doctor is competent, the front desk staff alone makes this place not worth the headache. Poor communication, poor work ethic, and zero respect for patients. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere else.
