Dr. Lee was fantastic! Today was my first visit since I wasn't happy with my former doctor. She was very friendly, thorough and knowledgable. She also made my kids feel at home. This is a very nice, clean, modern and friendly office. read more

Needed my annual eye exam and used ZocDoc to book an appointment with Bergen Optometry. The office is located on a busy Street in Hackensack where there is only metered street parking but I was able to find a spot right away. I arrived early to my appointment and they checked me in and had me wait in the spacious waiting room area where they have a cute coffee station. I was seen at my scheduled time and the Optometry Assistant who took the initial screenings and photos of my eyes was very friendly and thorough. Dr. Tong was who administered my detailed eye examination and let me just say she is sooooo thorough! She asked all the questions I expected and many others I didn't expect but mattered. She explained everything she was doing and explained in detail what all of her readings and photographs showed. I highly recommend Bergen Optometry and will be visiting again to fill my glasses RX. read more

I've been coming to this place and have been seen bY Dr Brody and her business partner and I can say that every time I have been seen it has been a wonderful experience!

Additionally they have a lovely eyeglass/sunglasses collection and staff. read more

Bergen Optometry - Optometrists Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

Staff members are friendly and professional. They handled me and my daughter with care.

Great experience! Prior to my appointment the receptionist was thorough in explaining my upcoming appointment. At the appointment the doctor was quick and efficient despite the business of the office. She even provided a thorough explanation of all results. The eyewear tech was very helpful and supportive in choosing a pair perfect for me. She was upfront and helpful about out of pocket costs versus insurance too! Its my first pair in over 15 years! From what I remember back then the process has improved tremendously read more

Very helpful friendly very nice people . Definitely would recommend. I look forward to going back who can say that about Dr appointments haha . read more

Bergen Optometry - I'm a nerd now - Optometrists Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

I brought my son for an appointment and a few months later I went for one myself. My family has bad eyesight so my kids are going to need these appointments every year from about age 8 to 25. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Dr. Lee and Dr. Escobar were excellent, very knowledgeable, very friendly, explained everything clearly. I hope my insurance doesn't change so I can continue coming here with my kids for many years. read more

First time here after not having gone for an exam in approximately two years. The staff was exceptional, from the moment I walked in to the moment I left . Everyone I encountered was so warm, friendly and patient . They also use top notch equipment . Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience! read more

I had my first visit with the doctor and it went well. Prompt service, friendly staff and a clean facility. I will be coming back for my eye care needs in the future. read more

2 out of 3 visits have been trash! I'm not a huge fan of their service. It made me uncomfortable.. I will not be going back.

Really nice staff; not sales pushy like other eye doctor places. Looking forward to continuing. Very clean location. Friendly and spacious.

Highly professional staff. Friendly doctor. Not a huge selection of frames but my needs were expertly met. I'm happy to have found them close to home and they take my insurance. read more

Bergen Optometry - Très chic.. - Optometrists Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

it was a little busy when I went so I had to wait a little but but the office is clean and neat. the staff was very nice and the doctor took her time and made sure I understood what she was saying. Overall would recommend and will be a returning patient. read more

Fast service. Very friendly staff. Straight forward with pricing. Helpful when picking frames!

Very professional. Explained in detail. Took the time to make sure things were understood. Happy I found it just by walking down main st.

I had my initial visit at Bergen Optometry earlier this afternoon. Setting up an appointment online was quick and convenient. My appointment was for 3PM and I was seen almost immediately. I must've been seated in the waiting area for less than 5 minutes. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and helpful. During my screening, it was explained to me that they offered more in-depth testing but the tests are not covered by insurance. I appreciated that they were so up front about it and they even said how much it would cost without me asking. I like when places aren't pushy about upselling. I saw Dr. Puleo for my eye exam and she was efficient and thorough. She did a great job of explaining everything about my exam to me. After my exam the staff helped me shop for contact lenses and they even found that I would be eligible for a rebate. The prices were definitely fair and I was completely satisfied with my visit. If Bergen Optometry accepts your insurance I highly recommend going to them for your eye care needs. read more

I arrived more than an hour early for my 2:30 appt at Bergen Optometry, and was assisted promptly. The environment was pleasant; and the employee who checked me in and completed my preliminary exams was pleasant, efficient and professional. I had the pleasure of seeing Dr Pinsky for my Annual Eye Exam and an irritable eye. She had a pleasant demeanor and did a great job of allaying all my anxieties. I was impressed with how thorough she was....explaining everything in great detail. I especially appreciated that she was not rigid in her recommendations...and came up with workable solutions to my issues/concerns. I strongly recommend Bergen Optometry, Dr Pinsky and staff! read more

I've been a customer at Bergen Optometry for a few years now and always have a great experience. From checking in to walking out the door, the process is smooth, quick, and enjoyable. My favorite part of the experience is the staff. They're a shining example and combination of professionalism and kindness. Dr. Pinsky and Christine, the optical tech, both make sure you're comfortable and explain each step to make sure you're informed and educated. I love selecting my new frames with Edna, who is so patient with me while I umm and hmm over frames. She also makes great recommendations and will answer any questions you have about pricing and coverage. I used to live just 5 minutes from Bergen Optometry and continue to go there even though my commute to them is now 30+ minutes. My kudos and praise goes to the whole staff. You all are amazing and I look forward to my next visit. read more

Outstanding care and service Outstanding doctors read more

Decided on contact lenses this time around. The selection of frames they have are very stylish and modern. I hope to go back and get frames next time. The shop has very nice interior. I haven't been here in a few years, and it looks newly renovated, I use to go years ago and it looks completely different and brand new and brighter interior. Ideally, I would love to be able to browse the frames on my own, the ones that are within my budget that are in the drawers. Spoke the one of the owners of the store and he was very helpful, and is focus on making his customers happy. read more

Bergen Optometry - My receipt.. - Optometrists Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

Terrible. The amount of times I've had to go back so they would give me the right prescription is insane. Mind you, I have to wait three weeks before they actually get my new glasses that cost $600. Then i find out its the wrong prescription.... Three times! read more

I arranged my appointment online. Was seen quickly. The staff from the front desk to the vision tester to the optometrist to the young lady that helps you pick your glasses were friendly and professional. I totally trust their doctors. All tests were explained with recommendations and rational. Your eye vision is very important to them as well as how you look and feel in your glasses. The equipment is up to date and they have nice frames in every price bracket. You can get designer or something " practical ". A great experience all around. I've been getting glasses for 45 years since the age of 9. This place is top tier and very modernized which I love. read more

they're very accommodating of my time. I appreciate that my baby was able to time around the area and everyone appreciated him.

I was a Hackensack resident for 20 years and moved out of the area a few years back. Yet I still drive almost an hour just to get here. They are courteous, knowledgeable, and in network with almost all insurances. The optometrists are pleasant, and they have state of the art equipment. It speaks volumes that I travel almost an hour to still come here. I highly recommend. read more

I thought the organization and testing was top notch. They were right on time and helped with glasses and contacts. Picking out frames was fun and my insurance was applied correctly to the purchase. read more

I was seen right on time and both the eye exam and selecting new frames were great experiences. This is my second time going to Bergen Optometry and once again, I had an excellent visit. My prescription is not a simple one so I don't feel comfortable going just anywhere. The doctor was very thorough. read more

*Would highly not recommend* I arrived at my annual exam appointment and was assisted promptly. I was taken through the initial exams, informed of extra exams, and accepted, and all was fine and pleasant. My eyes were dilated, and I was informed it would be a few minutes, so they asked me to wait in the entrance area. I noticed that my vision was getting blurrier, which was expected. One of the staffers asked that I sit in the chair right next to the huge windows that they have near the entrance. It's quite confusing that this process wasn't thoroughly considered. A customer's eyes are dilated and asked to sit next to the large windows with the sun beaming through. Was there any thought given to this process? I had to avoid facing the window due to the intense sunlight. It became unbearable, and I had to move to the other side. How is someone supposed to select glasses/frames under these conditions? I got up and went to the front desk, waiting for someone to return to tell them I was leaving. After a few minutes, I was asked to return to the back to continue the tests. I was asked if I selected glasses. Are they not aware of what happens when pupils are dilated? I told her I was upset about being in direct sunlight after my eyes were dilated, and she wanted to explain that the windows were UV-coated. I don't care! In what universe is it right to dilate someone's eyes and place them in direct sunlight, then expect them to select glasses while the sun is beaming hard and so strong? Aftter the final tests were complete, I went back to the front and were asking me if I was going to select glasses or etc., I just wanted to leave so, I asked, "can I pay now" as I just wanted to leave ASAP and never come back. Did anyone think the process through? I don't care if I was offered an apology and free glasses/contacts, I'm not interested in returning. I recommend that anyone who needs to have their eyes dilated go elsewhere where the windows are dark/tinted enough to combat such strong sun rays. A better option is to find a location where the windows are better tinted/process is thought out or a regular location where it's not so bright and ask to sit next to huge windows with your eyes at full dilatation. It's incredible that they've been in business so long and haven't figured out that it's not kind to place a person with eyes fully dilated next to huge windows and/or ask them to pick glasses whenever the pair looks the same since you can't see clearly. ((facepalm)) TL;DR: I would NEVER RECOMMEND/RETURN! read more

The staff and care providers did an excellent job making me feel comfortable and addressing my concerns

Staff was very helpful I was pleased with the help great place to go quick and easy

I can't believe all the poor reviews. I didn't experience any of that behavior. As for the doctors I can speak on all of them but Dr. Karina Puleo Is excellent! She is very personable and knowledgeable. Dr Puleo was also very friendly and a pleasure to speak with during my exam. The Dr also explained everything in detail. She was very courteous prompt. No waiting at all. She did more than a basic eye exam. Since I have diabetes she went above and beyond and did several in depth retinal scans. She found things my primary missed. The staff was very friendly and thorough. They have many many frame choices as well as lens options. I highly recommend Bergen Optometry. We all have bad days and should reconsider giving them another shot and recommend Dr Puleo. read more

Great experience all around. The initial screenings were done quickly and the person who did the air puff thing was a pro - I usually have to try multiple times. Dr Abbas was thorough and efficient in her exam and answered all my questions. And the person who go checked me out explained my benefits in an easy to understand way qMenu understanding of my budget. Would recommend! read more

Everyone was very nice and the place was super clean. It was the most efficient eye exam I've ever had but didn't feel rushed. Both the person who did the imaging and Dr. Abbas took their time to answer my questions and explain everything to me. It wasn't until I left that I realized how quickly everything had gone. Great exam and customer service and I will definitely be back. read more

I was struggling to find an optometrist due to my issues (laser treatment due to retinal detachment, astigmatism, myopia) but this office has a really nice team! It was my first visit and Dr. Puelo made sure I didn't walk out without double checking my vision concerns and clarity. I received trial lenses that so far are working like a charm!! Its a smaller office which I like and the team/doctor was able to see me asap. I was in and out in a total of 30-45min!! read more

I have been going to Bergen optometry for almost 15 years if not more when I first started going there my kids are grown now, but they were kids they have been providing excellent customer service excellent services, and they take time to explain in detail what I need and how to apply it in my daily life and here it is now 2023 and I'm still there that says a lot quality is the best assurance that everything in your life will go well they give you the quality, thank you baby care, and the expertise in finding the frame where you couldn't pay for that I highly recommend this company just try them one time and you'll be back again and again like I have been. My husband still goes there and I'm very happy there. I salute you Bergen optometry. Keep up the good work. read more
