I want to thank the entire team for being so kind to my Mom and my Dad, Advanced Eyecare Solutions in Bellevue was the only place that accepted their medical insurance (ProviderOne). My parents are 71 years old and despite not speaking English Doctor Sukhneet treated them so kindly that we are very happy and grateful and the result was also excellent because my parents can see very well with their new glasses. Thank you once again and I appreciate your services and your professionalism. Quiero agradecer a todo el equipo por ser tan amable con mi mamá y mi papá.

Gracias una vez más y agradezco sus servicios y su profesionalismo. read more

I would give this zero stars if I could I came here to get a new prescripción for my glasses because my vision has been blurry and I can tell i need new glasses. This experience was unprofessional from the start. He started with showing me a book, and had me tell him if I could see things clearly from the book. Never have I had an optometrist hand me a book to read to check my prescripción. Also, the lights in the room were so dim, I couldn't even see properly lol. Half way through this i'm already questioning his cridentials. He takes a photo of my eyes and tells me they are very healthy. I'm like okay? Thanks? I came here for a New prescription, not a eye health check. I know he already doesn't know what i'm here for. he then asks me to wait outside as another patient comes in? I talk to the front desk lady about insurance while i wait because I'm just awkwardly standing outside the door. Then we go into another room and he apologizes for making me wait. He does the typical eye slit test that i do everytime at other offices, (great, maybe it isn't all that bad after all?) as hes showing me the different Numbers it shuts down on my eyelashes and i can't even read the numbers!! This has never happend to me before at other offices. He does not know how to use the equipment. After this test he asks me to open my eyes and tilt my head back and pulls out a jar of unlabeled yellow liquid with a dropper. I ask , "what ? " and he replies , "for your eye dialation" sir? I am not getting my eyes dialated ! I had no idea what was going on the entire time and I could tell this man did not know what he was doing. Also I should mention i did not see any sanitizing of equipment i was placing my head on, not washing hands , or wearing gloves. As if this is bad enough already, i went to a different eye doctor just to be sure i got the right prescripción, and to no ones surprise, the one he gave me just the day prior was incorrect. If I had gone to get glasses with the prescripción he gave me, i would be wearing the wrong glasses. I never leave reviews ever, but i need people to know not to come here. I don't know how this place is running. read more

Worst experience I have ever had with a medical professional. Got my prescription wrong for my contacts. Then I had to come back and the doctor spent the majority of time trying to gaslight me telling me that i can't see as well with contacts as I can with glasses so that's why I couldn't read anything. Not that my prescription was incorrect. I have never experienced such rude communication from a doctor. He kept cutting me off as I talked and then I was called upset when I tried to complete a single sentence. Do not go here. read more

I emailed them from their online contact request after hours. I was happy they returned my call at 10 the next morning. I'm an employee at a very large corporation here in the Seattle area and want to use my vision benefits to get a nice set of frames or two for a simple 1.75 reader need. They needed to know my full name and birthday to verify my benefits. Why? As an employee with this company would my benefits be different if I were a different age? With everyone at risk of I.D. theft I'm distrustful these days. So someone help me out here and tell me if my concerns are unfounded and how not knowing my full name and birthday would impede them from telling me my vision benefits. Thank you. MC read more

Clean, modern office with a cozy vibe, professional and polite staff took care of me almost before I could sit down in the waiting area. I had filled out my information online in advance and they had it on file when I arrived, making things easy. The doctor himself was quite kind and patient with me, which was a big plus as I hadn't had an exam for several years prior. There is a good selection of frames and lens types to choose from. I look forward to seeing how my new glasses turn out soon. read more

Dr.Virk is kind and professional. He introduced ortho-k to my boy, and he is satisfied with it. He doesn't need to wear glasses any more. I hope ortho-k will slow down his myopia. read more

Dr. Virk has consistently provided excellent care for my rather difficult eyes. I have never felt rushed, and he goes out of his way to answer questions with as much explanation and clarification as I want. I have been very happy with glasses purchased through Advanced Eyecare Solutions and have returned after having cataract surgery for my near-vision needs. Highly recommend! read more

They made everything very easy and helpful. I highly recommend going here for any visual needs!

DO NOT go there if you really care about your health and integrity! Go to a real and decent doctor instead. He acts like a shark, just trying to sell you frame, lenses and contacts and never cares about "YOU" but your money. I am an optician for two decades and had my own optical clinic and optical shop for a while. I had enough information and knowledge about the type of contact lenses I was trying to get but he was obviously misleading me with wrong information and trying to sell his own stock rather than ordering from outside. Since he got aware of my background, he admitted that I was right, not him!!! Finally, since he found I'm not going to spend more money in his office to buy frames/contacts, he even refused to hand me the contacts prescription which I got an extra charge for $148. He also, forgot to add the most important component of the eyeglasses prescription for either my wife or me, which is called ""PD" and that is the distance between the center of your two eyes! So, how you can call him a doctor then??? I'm contacting my attorney. What a disgusting health service! read more

My husband went in for a follow up appointment after re-adjustment cataract surgery. He waited for a very long time. Then Dr. Sukhneet came in and fitted him for contact lenses! My husband kept insisting that he was not there for contact lenses, and the doctor told him to be quiet!! After about an hour and a half he came back and realized he made a mistake and gave him the follow up appointment that he was finally scheduled for. We will not be going back there. read more

With Advanced Eyecare you get a high level of care associated with a small practice. Dr. Virk was very friendly and welcoming from the second I came through the door. We made it through the appointment quickly and I was out of the office within 45 minutes, together with a new prescription and a year's worth of contacts ordered. Bonus - I even got a few trial contacts of the new prescriptions. Yey! read more

First this place ruined a pair of Valentino sunglasses by putting purple lenses instead of the requested brown in them then I ordered a pair of Ray Ban's and after two weeks waiting I called and they told me there were in so I rushed over on my lunch break and they were not in! The guy promised to have someone call me which they never did. I called them and despite my having ordered them and then billing my insurance they said I have NO order! Call after call and they give me no answers or no solution. Worst experience ever!!! Literally waited out the Summer for a pair of sunglasses I won't get now after two trips there getting them ordered. read more

Dr. Virk helped me with my routine check up and also got me fitted with ortho-k lenses. They've really helped me see much better and I don't need to use my dailies anymore. read more

I naturally dislike most doctor/dentist appointments and love when I visit a new doctor that makes me want to come back! Dr. Virk is a real, down to earth, kind and thorough practitioner that takes pride in learning and engaging with his patients. They have a beautiful selection of frames and good price points. I'll be a happy loyal patient moving forward and recommend. read more

AES was really great. They got me, my son and my wife all in together on short notice. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great selection of frames with great prices too! Dr. Vick was nice, professional and quick. Would highly recommend. read more

Woohoo, as good as it gets are exactly the words I would use. This is the place to go for a thorough, accurate, personalized MD visit for your eyes and for great glasses. Dr. Virk and staff are great. A big five stars. Let me say I have gone to Costco, BJs, LensCrafters, and thought the exam was good. LOL. It was cookie cutter with the customer service of a deli. I was even given the wrong prescription at LC. Crazy. No more. I know now who I go to see for my glasses, the kind and compassionate Dr. Virk. read more

Had a great experience with Dr. Virk. He was enjoyable to speak with throughout my eye exam. He really took his time to explain to me the advantages of getting daily contact lenses and the importance of getting a glaucoma exam. He also knew his way around my insurance plan very well and was able to explain to me all of the costs and deductions I would see on my bill. My new contacts are working great. Thank you Dr. Virk! read more

Was not impressed. Very little English and no personal space. There is a tool that he uses that he gets right up in your face and his body is super close to yours. Felt very uncomfortable. Gave me the wrong eye exam, after repeatedly told him and his staff that I was there for CONTACTS. Not glasses read more

Made my appointment and came early for paperwork. Appointment time came and went. People got called in and released. I never got called. Nobody ever apologized. I finally left. Bad customer service. And I keep getting emails! Rate us! After I'd written a letter. Also left letter at unattended front desk when I left. read more

Dr. Virk and the rest of the staff at this clinic is absolutely amazing! They communicated very clearly, presented all the knowledge/facts and options available for buying contacts. They were very thorough with the eye exam and shared some suggestions that have helped me quite a bit with my dry eyes. read more

Dr. Virk, Bob, Annika, everyone at AES is great. I can't recommend them enough. Not sure what happened with some of the negative reviews. They are either fake or happened a long time ago because everyone at the office is very courteous, attentive, knowledgeable and efficient. Customer service is top notch, with calls always returned same day and shipments sent out same day as well. We travel over 300 miles just to see Dr. Virk. His Ortho-K has transformed my 5 year old daughter's eyes. He is so kind and patient with her, being so young and trying to wear contacts. And he always takes the time to explain everything to me, going to extra lengths if I don't understand. Even returning my calls and texts on the weekends. read more

It's pure money-making business. They will ask for unnecessary tests by telling you that ; we have to test this & that because we suspect some issue..! I have visited other eye care and no one told me till date for those kinda tests, which are not covered under your insurance. You've to pay the amount from your out of pocket read more

Just received my Sclera Lenses...wow it's like Lasik without the risk! Dr. Virk and I worked out my insurance coverage and ended up getting a portion of it covered! A bit of an upfront Investment but they only cost 200 per year to renew, well worth the effort to order these as Dr. Virk will keep trying again and again until the perfect is prescription is found. read more

It is so refreshing to see that Dr. Virk takes his times with patients . He is not like other practices who want to finish up in 15 mins and are just rushing . Very knowledgeable and his staff his great including Dr. Mangat . My son has been seeing Dr. Mangat for vision therapy and results are great , I am so glad to see the improvement in him and Dr. Mangat worked with him to make him comfortable. I live My other son was also diagnosed with Mypoia . Dr. Virk recommended Ortho K treatment. It's been 3 weeks and there has been huge improvement . My son is very comfortable wearing and removing lenses . I am glad we found Dr. Virk . read more

Dr. Virk and his associates are extremely professional and his expertise is well appreciated. He and his staff are also very courteous and they make the visit to the eye doctor enjoyable. read more

Extremely thorough eye exam, kind and thoughtful doctor, helpful and friendly staff. I recommend.

I prefer them over Pearl/Lenscrafters/all the chains. Why: (Not in priority order) 1) They don't require me to buy new frames every time my lenses' change. Pearl and the other chains make you buy new frames every year; 2) It's so relaxing there. Cool space, cool people. Knowledgeable, no pressure; 3) The price is the same as the chains. read more

I had an appointment today 1/27/15. I very much appreciated the staff. Jenny didn't try to Sell me anything, she showed me what options were available and the pros and cons of each and let me decide. She is very knowledgeable and was able to answer my questions. I didn't read the negative reviews before I went, and I am glad I didn't. Things apparently have changed for the better. read more

I have been going there for several years and the staff is always friendly, efficient, and very thorough. They care about their patients as people and not just patients read more

My son and a friend's daughter from China had the Orth-K lens at Advance Eyecare Solutions several years ago. The lens worked perfect for both kids so far. Their daytime vision is normal without any glasses. They are so happy about Dr. Virk's service. My friend's daughter came back from China either every year or other year to have a follow up checkup with Dr. Virk, because she trusts Dr. Virk and think he is the best for Orth-K service. My son is Dr. Virk's patient as well now. I also had Orth-K recently. My case seems a little bit complicated than those two kids. Vision is not improved immediately, but I admire Dr. Virk's professional. He exanimates my eye and carefully calculate to find the proper lens for me. He is very patient with me to teach me tips/tricks how to easy put in and take out lens. He carefully choose the lens so I won't feel any uncomfortable when wearing it during sleep. I can feel my day-time vision is getting better and better under this process. I highly recommended Orth-K service to my friends. read more

Dr. Virk seeks out progressive solutions for dry, irritated eyes. He offers a variety of solutions for patients with contact lenses and glasses. His recommendation are non invasive, and are personalized. I am happy with the care I received, and I already feel my eyes are healing after one day of treatment. read more

I wasn't going to place a review and just let it go, but I just got my bill from Dr. Virk and I've had it. Here's my story: I went to his office for Rx sunglasses, I have both an eyeplan and discount plan (eyemed) for eyeware. I made sure to pick out frames that would fit within my yearly limits given the discount. Advanced Eyecare Solutions did not want me to use Eyemed and claimed that I couldn't use both at the same time. Of course, that is wrong. They kept me waiting for more than 30 minutes while they sorted it out. After confirming with both my insurance and Eyemed, they applied the discount and I left. A week later, I pick up my glasses, which are the wrong color of lens---I asked for grey, they gave me red---but I just let it be. Fast forward a few months and I just received an explanation of benefits from my insurance. Dr. Virk didn't report the discounts, and now insurance is asking me to pay the difference. Seriously? I have to go through this again? Look the money isn't real the issue here. I specifically chose this place because they are one of the few local (non-national chain) businesses that accepted Eyemed. My parents were small business owners, I know how hard it can be. But this business is either deceitful or incompetent. Either way, I'm never going back. read more

Advanced Eye care and its staff (including the doctor Sarbjit Virk) are making fool of all their customers by charging them fake supplies fee and taking extra eye exams even when we don't need them. I went to this doctor first time with my wife last year. To my surprise, Dr. Virk asked me to do full eye exam and various testing in a second visit and charged the insurance company for these visits. I kept of asking why do I need these exam but never go a clear answer. Till date they have been sending me bills for some supplies they used for eye exam. (Never heard of a hospital charging patients for tissue paper, and toilet paper.) Advanced eye care will charge for every thing. not only taht they will be very nice in front of you and then send you a bill after 45 days of service. To add to my grievences, 1- They gave wrong prescription for both me and my wife in first visit. 2- they again callled and gave me second prescription which was wrong too. 3- Their test machines are really old and outdated, and they charge for all these test machines even if they don't work. Finally, I never received a report of any of the eye exams. It have been over 60 days that I have been requesting for a complte report of all eye exams they charged VSP insurance for. No luck so far. Avoiud this Eye care. They are thieves and I wonder how they are getting by all the laws and scrutiny for so long. read more

Awesome doctor and staff! I came in for glasses and contact lens exam. They carry silhouette brand glasses from Austria which are lightweight and rimless. Also they carry colored contacts and you can try them on in the office before purchasing. They are kind to let me change glasses frames order a couple days after the initial purchase. Definitely recommend! read more

Good customer service. Dr. Virk suggested a new daily contact brand which turned out to be significantly more comfortable then my old brand. More of a personable practice instead of an assembly line approach. Cost conscious. read more

if you're in the lobby of this place.... run away now. This is the most unprofessional place ever. Virk doesn't know what he's doing and doesn't know how to treat customers. Seriously. Do not, do not, do not go here! read more

Worst experience ever! The prescription was wrong, the technology is outdated, and the staff is clueless of whats going on.

Do not go here!!! I went in for a routine eye exam and was given unnecessary tests and told I had to come in for a second appt for something to do with glaucoma, but the doctor mumbled and couldn't really explain why I should have to come back. He is basically trying to bill the insurance company for as much as he possibly can. I was told I had severely dry eyes and also told I should wear contact lenses at night. This was after I told him I absolutely do not want to wear contact lenses. I was ignored and when I looked at his business card later it said this business specialized in dry eyes and these particular kind of contact lenses he was trying to talk me into. He sold me expensive homeopathic eye drops and gave me a complicated routine to combat my severe dry eyes. Luckily I work in a hospital and was able to go to our ophthalmology dept. the next day to get a second opinion. They told me one of the tests he did is for people with glaucoma which I don't have, so that was just to charge the insurance company extra. They found my eye pressure to be normal so there was also no reason for me to go back for a second appt. Yes, I do have dry eyes, but only a mild case which most people my age do have. Like the other reviewer, I didn't get a prescription when I left their office and it took a couple of phone calls before they finally sent it to me. This is about the worst place you could go for your vision so find somewhere else. Oh yeah, while I was waiting for my appt I overheard a staff member that was helping someone pick out glasses being very unhelpful and downright rude. read more

I visited here twice in a month to order and pick up my contact lens. I didn't have an eye exam here However, based on my experience thus far, I'd say the staffs here are very nice and friendly. The place is big and clean. They have varieties of glasses for you to choose for those of you who look for a new pair of glasses. Come check them out and see if you agree with me. read more

Would you trust a doctor who is dilating your eyes and telling you, you would be able to drive without any sun glasses or protection? I went to Dr. Virk for second opinion when I was unable to get better vision with my new prescription glasses. Soon after my eye exam, he was trying to push me to choose a frame for the new prescription without even asking if I really want to purchase one. Then he asked me to pay for visit before dilating my eyes. When he asked me if I want to go for dilation test, I asked him if I would be able to drive. He said "Yes you would be able to drive without any issue but cannot work in front of computer". He didn't even mention that I have to use sunglasses. I was not carrying sunglasses as I never had my eyes dilated till that date and to be honest I didn't even know about dilation until then. That was the reason I asked doctor about any precaution but I am surprised he didn't know this basic or just careless about it and more concerned about selling frames and lenses. I got my eyes dilated and could hardly open my eyes when I came outside and started driving. Luckily it was only less than a mile drive to my place. Secondly, I told them I have eye exam done a month back and not sure if insurance will cover this visit and asked them to let me know how much I have to pay for this visit. They told me they called insurance and you still have that one eye exam. Later they told me "as your previous doctor may file claim later and it may get rejected so we will charge you for special copay visit ($50 instead of $25)" He then asked for $35 extra on top of it for refraction test. I ended up paying $85 for basic eye exam which is not a big deal but you got to mention this before the exam not after. So just avoid this place to avoid any pain read more
