Horrible communication when it comes to patient arrival. Opening time doesn’t coincide with appointment time. I arrived at 9:40 the door was locked. The store opened at 10 and I was told my 9:45 appointment had to be rescheduled because I should’ve gotten a call from someone telling me to knock on the door to be let in. Just horrible and a waste of my time which by the way is precious.

There was not a feeling of rush to pick a pair, and neither was getting my eyes checked. He was thorough and included me as part of the exam, which was a first for me. I’d highly recommend them for both purposes.

I’ve already posted a detailed review and will, again say, the Columbia branch is a managed by a professional, friendly and skilled staff. I barely got in the door before being attended by a number of staff. Brianna kindly and expertly reduced any stress I had in choosing from the many options I would have. They do not take my UFT insurance, but, truthfully ? The cost was lower than had I paid elsewhere, even w insurance. I suggest you all try it out, you won’t be disappointed.
