    Polite, caring staff and doctors. Staff and doctor were professional and efficient without being "cold".

    Had some trouble with contacts due to the shape of my eyes but Dr Aschenbrenner and his staff couldn't have been more accommodating in fitting me to the correct lenses.

    I was looking for a pair of glasses and have routinely used Lens Crafters. I had heard styles and…read moreselections vary by store and since I was in the area thought I would see what this store had to offer. The glasses are nicely displayed and they were organized by brand. When I walked in I immediately was greeted and asked what I needed. I shared I was browsing and was allowed time to browse with no pressure. I was torn between two styles and the sales associate offered her opinion. The entire process was easy and straight forward. Glasses should arrive in 7-10 days.

    The only reason I'm giving two stars is because I truly liked Dr. Ashley Plotkin. It's very clear…read morethat she cares about her patients and takes her time during the exam. Unfortunately, my experience with the front staff was extremely disappointing. While I was looking at glasses, one of the employees answered a phone call from someone trying to schedule eye exams for herself and three others. She repeated the request out loud for Leo, who immediately shook his head and made an audible sound of annoyance. The employee on the phone also seemed irritated. It was uncomfortable to witness. As a customer, it's confusing to see staff react negatively to someone trying to schedule multiple appointments. While I was browsing, I already had a good idea of what I wanted. Leo told me to "look around and have fun" and to let him know if I wanted his opinion. A few minutes later, while I was trying on a pair of Dolce & Gabbana glasses, he approached me and said, "Oh no, those don't work." I hadn't asked for his opinion, and I actually liked them until that comment. It felt unnecessary and dismissive. I finally decided on a pair of Gucci glasses. When he rang me up, the total after insurance was nearly $700. I told him there was no way I would pay that much for glasses I rarely wear. He appeared visibly upset and slammed a cabinet before returning to the register to hand me my receipt. That reaction was unprofessional and uncomfortable. I was also told that a retinal scan would not be covered by my insurance. I have EyeMed, and this location is in-network, so the scan would have been covered. Additionally, as I mentioned at the time, I felt the pricing I was given was incorrect. I later ordered the same glasses--with comparable add-ons--for less than $225 after insurance. Given the significant difference, it left me questioning whether I was initially being steered toward higher-priced options to increase commission rather than being given transparent and accurate information. Overall, the level of professionalism from the front staff was very disappointing. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. Edit: Message for Leo, please take care of your oral health.

    Well, to continue my saga with Tabak, the apparent manager John D. responded to my unfavorable…read morecomments from 11 days ago A glasses frame they sold to me as having a lifetime warranty "Nike" is allegedly is no longer covered for loss/damage. John D, Manager, asked for my contact information and upon his request I provided my email and phone number, as requested which he insinuated would result with a quick resolution. Well, it's been 11 days and with 4 follow ups emails later and no contact from Mr John D. or anyone else with Tabak. It's clear to me they don't care about the customer after the sale. I would NEVER RECOMMEND Tabak as a good neighbor. I actually still have the glasses case saying "NIKE" and the stupid spritz bottle for lense cleaning . This establishment is a sham. They don't care about their customers or repeat business. Go to a strip mall eyeglass place. Tabak sucks!

    It is so important to support local businesses including eye doctors. I went to see Dr Tabak for an…read moreeye exam. His office is conveniently located at an outdoor shopping center. Dr. Tabak and his staff are very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Dr. Tabak also sold me glasses that I needed and did not try to upcharge me for what I did not need. Dr. Tabak has plenty of glasses options to choose from too and the turnaround time for the glasses was very quick. I will definitely be back for future eye exams.
