I wrote this review last November but somehow forgot to post it until today. :-(
Up until today I thought all eye places were the same and now have realized otherwise. First, the vibe when you walk in is great. The office is nice and the staff is friendly. I got two text messages reminding me of the appointment, one yesterday and one today, which was very convenient. I could respond to the text message to confirm or reschedule. That was so much easier for me than a phone call and having to call back to confirm.
I have been looking for glasses online for months and found some that I thought were nice. However, when I walked into this office I saw about 6 or 8 pairs right off the bat that looked way nicer than anything I had seen online. The glasses were classy and stylish but not too trendy. The prices were higher than ones that I saw online but the glasses were so much nicer, I didn't care that much. After all, if you're like me, you keep your glasses for good long while.
Dr. Stipek was very helpful and knowledgeable. I really understood for the first time what I was seeing when he showed me the photos of my eyes. He explained things very clearly and how certain indicators related to other visual markers that he observed. Overall, I was very impressed and would highly recommend this office.
When I was leaving I asked if they had a glasses case that they could give me because I lost mine last week. They gave me the cutest green daisy case! Yes, it's a little thing, but it all adds up to the total experience and I left feeling very happy.
