| - I chose Park Opticians for my first-ever eye exam and pair of glasses because it is convenient to my home and I have long admired the fanciful frames in their window display. The process of scheduling my appointment was pleasant and when I arrived on the appointed day, I was quickly helped back to the exam room.
Dr. Fuldhauer performed a thorough examination and, with prompting, explained his findings to me. I would have appreciated some additional explanation and information, though, as I had never needed glasses previously. I did not receive a summary of his findings or a copy of my prescription, which would have been helpful. I almost felt as though this was to prevent me from having the glasses made elsewhere, which I had not intended to do, but it left me with a strange feeling nonetheless.
I adjourned to the showroom and happily set about trying on frames. Their selection is truly top-notch and a large part of the reason I chose to come here. I was easily able to find a handful of frames that I loved - the hardest part was narrowing down the final choice.
The woman who was assisting me in my selection did an admirable job of responding to my stated preferences, which I made rather clear. If I weren't as certain of my likes and dislikes, however, the strong opinions she offered may have overpowered my thought process.
I ended up choosing a classic, black pair of Valentino acetate frames (with a subtly edgy spike on the corner of the frames which I love) which were fitted to my face and set with my prescription in under 30 minutes. Nelson, the lovely gentleman who worked on this all-important final step really provided me with excellent service.
I left with a pair of glasses that I absolutely love but with mixed feelings about the service I received. For the price point, I would have appreciated a more patient and attentive level of service.
