I usually purchase new eyeglasses from the place where I go for my annual eye exam (Doctor Gore in…read moreHaymarket). However, their frames selection is somewhat limited - so armed with my prescription - I went shopping for a couple new pairs of eyeglasses. I found two that I liked - one regular eyeglasses - and one for a pair of prescription polarized sunglasses. I had already utilized and maxed out my insurance benefit for the year on another new pair of eyeglasses - but they gave me some sort of discount. They texted me when each pair arrived - to come pick them up. Happy with the new glasses! #LensCrafters

He is…read moreextremely attentive and has picked up on a couple of issues between us that required referral to a retna specialist. By catching early and following through I am sure he has preserved our vision as best as could be hoped for. He is incredibly trustworthy and makes great recommendations for lens types as well. I never would not have understood how my progressive lenses would work out without his careful guidance. This is not a "discount" location by any means, but you certainly get what you pay for, and for our vision that is priceless.

Rude and incompetent staff!! I set up an appointment 6 WEEKS…read more in advance and was assured that they took my insurance. The day before the appointment they called and were snippy because I did not fill out the paperwork and was told btw that they did not take my insurance. I don't care how good a doctor is, unless there is an organ transplant involved, if the staff is nasty, I don't have room in my life for them. It is only an eye exam-- I pay less for a hair appointment or cute shoes. I would have gladly paid out of pocket but didn't want to deal with the crusty wench up front.

I also had to have 2 different exams before they would give me my prescription. Their contact lens and glasses prices are not competitive and very expensive even with insurance benefits. If you have to go here, my suggestion is do not allow them to have any of your medical insurance information and do not agree to any additional testing. Just provide your vision insurance and say you only want the exam for contacts or glasses. Beware - they make you agree up front to additional testing most optometrists do not do for everyone.

Doctors of Optometry aren't really a group I ever remark about but Doctor Goerl was fantastic. Maybe it's that, in 2016, we're surprised by someone going the extra mile and truly caring?

Completly Misleanding, almost fraudulent! The staff in the office of Dr. Bermel, attempted to sell…read moreme an eye procedure for my daughter. (Ortho-K/Gentle Molding). They quoted me a price of $2,000.00- $2,500.00 for the Gentle Molding procedure. They stated that Dr. Bermel needed to consult with my daughter to give me an exact figure. They charged me a consultation fee of $189.00, and upon meeting with Dr. Bermel, he came back with a fee/price of $7,000.00. He stated that my daughters eyes showed signs of advanced myopia. But he knew that prior to the consultation, because they had just done her eye exam, and subsequently informed me that she was a good candidate for the Gentle Molding procedure because of her advanced myopia. After the quote from Dr. Bermel, I contacted the office manager that origially talked me into the consultation. She seemed shocked about the high quote, and stated she would look into what she could do and call me back. Side note, I didn't get a call back, and I had to reach out to her to only hear that there was nothing she could do. I reminded her that she told me the cost would not exceed $2,500.00 and I should get an opinion from "the best, Dr. Bermel". They refused to give me back my consultation fee even after being shocked about the price Dr. Bermel quoted $7,000.00. Sadly I already purchased glasses with them for my daughter. I was going to continue our services with this office for my whole family, not anymore. I honestly should have been provided a refund based on their failure to provide a price quote within the range originally quoted. This office could care less about you, and more about high pressure sales with little reguard for how their actions seem misleading. Round of applause for Dr. Bermel's office for failure to stand by their word. Oral contracts are binding in Virginia. And perhaps they need to fully disclose prices and not mislead potential customers. I have made a complaint to my employer so they are aware of the misleading sale tactics they used. I have also subsequenlty filed a complaint with the BBB to have them put on notice.

Steer clear of Optometry - Dr. Bermel Gainesville Office. They have one goal in mind and that is…read moreto sell you high priced glasses and then forget you exist once they get your $. A telling sign is the timeshare like assembly line once you arrive. You fill out your paperwork, then you do a screening with the office staff, then you see the Dr. for your eye exam and then they send you to Jeff (CEO) who sits on site with a purpose of selling you whatever he can possibly sell you. We live an hour from their office. My wife, my son and myself had eye exams and after spending an hour or so with Jeff after the exam, we purchased 3 sets of glasses for $1200. We got a phone call this past Thursday saying our glasses were ready. We told them we would be by Friday to pick up our glasses. We show up around noon on Friday and the office is closed. We called the main number and Jeff (CEO) answered and said an employee got sick and had to go home and they closed the store. Myself and my son took off work and we drove over an hour one way only to find out the store had closed. Knowing we were coming, a phone call would have been nice, but I do understand things happen so we asked when they would be open again so we could come back to get our glasses. Jeff told us they will re-open on Tuesday of the following week. We show up Tuesday at noon and, shocker, the store is closed yet again. We call the number and a lady answers and says the store is closed yet again because they had nobody to go in today. We ask to speak to Jeff because now we are mad that we drove over an hour (one way) for a second time expecting the store to be open. They informed us Jeff is on vacation. Jeff knew we were coming Tuesday because that is what Jeff told us to do...and yet the store never opened and they never bothered to tell us. The lady that answered the phone said she was going to text Jeff to see how we proceed, but we have no faith we will hear back today. We are done at this point trying to guess when the store will be open and wasting our time and gas running up and down the road. We have taken off of work three days now (including exam day) and traveled two + hours three times now and still don't have our glasses. If we don't hear from them by close of business today (close of business means nothing to them as they are closed all the time) on how to proceed, then we plan to open a case with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). If you want an honest assessment, fair price and good customer service....then I highly recommend you look elsewhere. These people will take your money and run.
