- MHMichelle HillJan 4, 20261.0The staff was friendly and helpful. However, the independent optometrist, Dr. Behrens, is the reason I will not return to the store and urge others to go elsewhere. The contacts exam felt rushed. I said several times that the images were not clear. He was abrupt and ignored my statements. He ended up giving me the wrong prescription. I noticed as I drove a mile from the store that I could not read street signs or car tags. I had to turn around and go back. The staff gave me a different pair of contacts with no explanation. The exam was a waste of money and I will have to have another exam with a more reliable optometrist.

- SMSabrina MatthewsDec 31, 20255.0The office was packed (along with the retail floor), however, the service didn't miss a beat. From front desk team, to technician, medical team and doctor. Good service that makes this my spot for the past three years.
