Great experience again here. Went to get my vision checked since I have insurance. Alex was awesome ... over the phone with helping verify my coverage and booking an appointment. When I showed up for my appointment, all the staff members I interacted with, including the optometrist, were nice, helpful, and explained the process. Mary was extraordinary with helping me pick a frame and she went into detail with what add-ons I can choose from and get the best deal. I mainly love the blue light filter since I wear glasses when using the computer to prevent migraines. I really love this location and you don’t waste half of your day for an appointment.
