I had an eye exam and purchased glasses three months ago. The other day I ran into a 2 x 4 that was ... sticking out and I did not see it and I called. I the office and they told me to come down to see them because I may have bent my frames. After further investigation found out they were able to fix it, but I was telling them I had problems with my left eye and not able to focus up at close range they retested me and once I completed the exam, I was directed to the front office to discuss payment for the day. And I found out that they were able to replace my lenses for free and I was not expecting that after the exam I had to have an adjustment made to my prescription. Very thankful I did not have to pay for a new pair of lenses after the adjustments that were made to the prescription. Just had to pay for the services for the exam for the day. Excellent people, compassionate people that truly care about their customers!!!

Great competent services. My Doctor was excellent. My assistant was competent and professional. The ... staff was prompt and helpful. There is not enough competition for the dominant manufacturer of eyeglasses price wise.
