| - I am in CU for graduate school and needed new glasses and an exam. Picking an eye doctor is a bit of a shot in the dark and all of my attempts to get a stellar recommendation from my friends failed. I eventually used a combination of Yelp, Google reviews, and my insurance's list of network providers to decide on this one. I have to say that I was impressed. Dr. Albert performed a very thorough exam, and the opticians were very friendly and very good. They took my inter-pupilary distances and measured my pupil locations on the frames I chose. They were very friendly and helped me work through several scenarios on with my insurance. I got a free pair of contacts and bottle of Bio True, which is pretty much standard practice, but good to see. Dr. Albert was overall very concerned with my experience and wanted me to try the contacts for a few days before ordering, nice when so many eye doctors seem to want you to ORDER NOW! The practice is pretty small, and their glasses frame selection is much smaller than what you would see at, say, Lenscrafters. Still, I found frames that I really liked and I'm pretty picky. The optician and I talked about brands for a while and she told me she won't carry any with poor customer service or frequent issues. She told me this after I had chosen my frames and I had asked about another brand. It was a little more informal than I am used to at an eye doctor. All of the employees were wearing a uniform that consisted of a t-shirt with the office graphic on it and come of the instruments in the exam room actually had a layer of dust on them--dust! In a medical office! Still since most of the optometrist's tools are optics and were designed decades ago (for the most part) this really didn't bother me. Overall, I love this place and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality, individualized experience, especially if you are aversive to the national chains.
