I returned a week later and did the 5 minute consultation where they did nothing but ask me my preferences for contact lenses. When I went to pay the lady was highly disorganized and fumbled through several papers then said the cost was $76.00. That was twice the cost of the full exam yet they did nothing but ask me about my preferences. What a rip off. I'll never go back there again.

The interior is clean, warm, and inviting! They have water, tea, cookies, and other treats to enjoy while you wait for your appointment or shop around for new frames.

Dr. Baars is a wonderful doctor. He is friendly, explains everything, and makes sure you get what you need. It's also never too difficult to get an appointment, which is appreciated. Highly recommend this spot, whether you need an eye exam or some fun new frames!!

I bought a very expensive pair of glasses here, they did not fit right at all. Went in once to speak to this "team lead" made jokes about them not fitting, literally didn't move from behind the front counter to try and fix them. Again, they are still causing me pain and discomfort. Went in a second time, spoke with a lady this time, she turns me away after helping and says there is nothing we can do. And that I would have to forego my insurance and buy an ENTIRE new pair of lenses. Avoid this location!

All in all though. I got what I WANTED & need fur that matter!

I've unfortunately given them numerous chances over the past few years and have consistently been…read morefrustrated. The first pair of glasses I bought from them had the completely wrong prescription in them. Then the first time I ordered contacts I got a notification to review my contacts when I hadn't even been told they were ready so I called to verify and they said they weren't in, I stopped by about a week later as I found it odd they weren't in yet and was told by the manager that they were stuck overseas, then two days later got a call that if I didn't come get my contacts right away they were no longer willing to hold them for me. Second time I ordered contacts I decided to have them shipped to maybe avoid confusion, but then got a call that they were waiting for me in store, so I went in and then they proceeded to not be able to find the contacts, an employee and the manager confused looking around and yelling back and forth for about 10 minutes as I waited awkwardly. Then the last time I called to order contacts the manager took my call and when I asked for 6 months worth she proceeded to give me attitude saying last time I ordered contacts she'd explained to me to get a years worth and if I'd just done that instead of 6 months I wouldn't need to be calling again right now. Excuse me? I knew my insurance would re-up and cover more contacts in 6 months when I'd originally called - but I also should not feel like I need to explain that to someone, especially not a manager. Throughout all of this time, any experience in store has been incredibly unprofessional. Employees loudly having personal conversations across the store and ignoring patients. Consistently having difficulties verifying insurance and making it seem like it's the patient's fault. When an employee doesn't know something they just yell back and forth instead of pausing a personal conversation, getting up and coming over to help one another. Unsure if it's lack of training, but it is incredibly frustrating and I've officially given up and won't be returning.

Upon speaking with the eye shop connected to them, I said I wanted to keep my silhouette frames and asked what it would cost for high-index, progressives lenses with transitions and blue-light blocking. I was told it would be upward of $700, to which I asked, for "just the lenses?" She responded yes. I'm a senior who cannot afford that so I began looking online. I needed a PD number. I called Southdale Optical to see if I could come in and get it since they already charged my insurance for an exam and didn't put it on my prescription. I was told the doctors at Southdale Optical do not measure for PD, that I would have to go to their optical shop for that. I informed her I couldn't afford to get my glasses at their shop and was ordering online. She then informed me I'd have to pay to have it measured if I chose to buy my glasses online. Research informed me there are only three states that require eye doctors to give a PD measurement, Alaska, Massachusetts and New Mexico. In the future, I will be inquiring about a PD number before I make an appointment. Meanwhile, I guess I will get new frames (that I don't like near as much as my Silhouettes) and high-index, progressive, blu-blocking lenses from Costco, (who unfortunately won't replace lenses in frameless silhoutte frames) for about $250. Lesson learned.

Five years ago, I wrote a review of Dr. Jamison and her team on Google and now I have an…read moreopportunity to leave a review here as well. Last year I got new glasses and sunglasses and had a blast picking them out with the team. Unfortunately, the sunglasses didn't work as well as I had hoped and the team was very helpful in trying to fix the situation, in the end I ended up going back to my old pair for the rest of the year. I saw Dr. Jamison on Friday May 22 and first thing I said to her was boy you are here late on a Friday and she said, "If you are going to be open on a Friday, I better do it right." "Because I know how my patients like Friday appointments and I am not always able to be here on a Friday, so I'm going to make it count." I greatly appreciate her philosophy on that. Anyways back to my sunglasses, I told her what happened to the last pair, and she was genuinely bothered that they did not work out. She looked back at the manufacturing of my original pair and said we are going to get me the right ones this time. My prescription had changed enough where this was needed, and she also indicated she wasn't sure what was causing the change; however, she gave me some advice for my health that I could do to make sure things didn't get worse for some reason. Dr. Jamison and her team as per their standard went above and beyond to make sure this new pair of sunglasses would rival my original pair with more flare to them to fit my personality. Because of this and because of the diagnostic machines especially the Optos machine I have the healthy vision I do and the Optos machine saved my husband's vision because she was able to diagnosis a Retinal Detachment and get him in to see "the best of the best" right away on a Friday morning. It's not about the money with Dr. Jamison and her team, it's about you, the person, the individual and your family and what it is that you need and want to look and to feel your best. Their Gold Standard is the reason they are part of my foundational team of healthcare providers and always will be.
