One finds amazing professional services through word-of-mouth recommendations. And that is…read moreprecisely how I found the office of the Optometrist Dr. Guy Dietels, located in a small but inviting space, with the entrance on the right side of the Sam's Club in Roanoke, Virginia.
After being awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, celebrating their contributions and accomplishments throughout the year, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants, businesses, and entertainment venues, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And the Optometrist Dr. Guy Dietels, in Roanoke, Virginia, is a perfect example.
Having no association with Sam's Club itself, this visual exam facility is operated by Dr. Guy Dietels, an independent Doctor of Optometry. But don't let its small size fool you. The office is clean, organized, and well equipped with all the required equipment for the Optometrist to perform an excellent eye examination to prescribe eyeglasses, and make a diagnosis of the condition of your eyes.
The administrative assistants are very friendly, welcoming, and professional. The first time I visited, one of them was very helpful in finding out if my insurance covered my eye examination there, and later on when I phoned her, in scheduling an appointment on a convenient day for me.
Today, when I went for my appointment to have my eyes checked by Dr. Dietels, the other, also very friendly, administrative assistant, welcomed me and had me fill out the new patient form, after having a look of my insurance card. She then very professionally performed the preliminary eye tests, and had me take a seat to wait for the Doctor to see me.
All the positive feedbacks that I had received about Dr. Dietels, none even compared to the wonderful person as well as professional that he was. He introduced himself to me, and was very kind, courteous, and professional throughout the entire examination. He took his time examining my eyes to make sure my eyeglasses prescription came out perfect, as well as performing all the other routine tests, and dilated my eyes to check for any abnormalities. Everything came out well and I walked out of the office with the satisfaction of having had Dr. Dietels far exceeding the high expectations I had of him. I highly recommend him and his wonderful staff and definitely plan on returning for my yearly checkups.
