I have been going to this practice for years. Dr Ann is great, but since they moved, their front staff has become intolerable. I was told by the receptionist that my insurance was not accepted. After a few calls, I found they did accept it. I needed a new power for my contacts and they ordered the right power, bur the wrong contact for samples. The receptionist actually argued with me about what brand contacts I use. Then finally, she said they would be ordered. I called back a week later and guess what? There were no contacts and no record of an order. Time to go elsewhere and yes they are overpriced. read more

Nice facility and friendly staff, but not the best. My prescription is pretty strong and since getting my new glasses I haven't been able to see as well out of my right eye. Definitely not 20/20, even with the glasses on. I also get headaches when staring at a screen for a long time, which is basically my job and life. I've never had headaches like this before, so I'm assuming it's the glasses. I've had them for about 6 months now and the vision and headaches haven't improved. Also, the employee who helped me pick out my glasses seemed a little impatient--like I took too long to pick out a frame--and unhappy that I wanted to try on some frames from the mens side. Overall, good facility and (mostly) very friendly staff, but not guaranteed to get the best eye care. read more

I LOVE DR BAGGARLY & NICOLE! He is so thorough with his lense fittings and builds a great rapport with the patients. I've been coming to his office for the last 5 years and plan on bringing my little one when she's old enough. The rest of the staff....Well they're okay. wouldn't hurt for them to be a little more welcoming. read more

Great service, more than fair prices. Felt safe due to COVID protocols

Staff is friendly and my husband and I were both seen very quickly. Dr Kohan is very warm and knowledgeable. She goes out of her way to make her patients feel comfortable and at ease. We will be making Claremont Optometry our new permanent optometry office for our family of four! read more

I've been here for contacts, glasses, and now LASIK. They've been great every single time! The place is very clean and they're great about Covid guidelines. Everyone is also very friendly, especially Dr. Baggarly. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for contacts, glasses, or LASIK. read more

I went in needing a new pair, and I'm so glad I came here. The staff is very attentive. I am very pleased with the service and the professionalism of the doctor. I will refer all friends and family here! :) read more

Let me start by saying that they attended my 13 old daughter in a way that was negligent. I took her there for an appointment to have her eyes checked and for contact lens fitting, which I was told would be $160. When we got there I checked to make sure this was the case. They said it was. An hour later I find out that my daughter's eyes were dilated with drops. I wasn't told they were going to do it. There was no parental consent and I was charged for it. Then after waiting another hour I was told by Scott and others that they didn't have the right contacts for her measurements. I was told that they would contact me within days. After I week and speaking with them I am now bieng told that there was no contact lens fittting and there would be an extra charge. This is the type of service we got after my wife and I spent over $800 in glasses (with insurance) the week before. Obviously this place is not only overrated, and expensive....but also negligent in handling a minor. Maybe it's time for legal action so they can get thier act together. read more

Been coming here for years. Staff is friendly and I am always satisfied. They have a good selection on glasses.

Very friendly visit. The doctor was thorough and patiently went over every test with me clearly. Staff is very helpful. Stephanie took the time to help me find the perfect pair of glasses! read more

My family and I have been going to this practice for over 30 years. They are exceptionally through professional. Both the doctors and the office staff are friendly and easy to deal with. I am very impressed with the huge selection of frames they have available. Parking at their office is a little tricky, but not impossible. read more

I have been coming to Claremont Optometry Group since they were located on Indian Hill, aka a very long time ago. I love Dr. Johannsen. I believe she is very knowledgable and is great at explaining and answering any questions you may have. The opticians that I have dealt with over the years have also been very lovely. They have a large selection of glasses also. However, I am knocking down two stars for various reasons. First, I ordered my glasses (in September) and months went by without receiving a call or text from the office that they were ready. At first, I didn't mind because I wasn't in town for a month to come in anyway. I finally received a statement billing me for the amount due on the glasses - the only way I figured that they were ready (in November). So just be aware that if you really need your glasses ASAP you may want to check in with the office more regularly. The second reason why I am taking off a star is because the receptionist with the red glasses is very rude. Customer service is key, yet she's rude over the phone and acts like she's doing you a favor. Not cool, and not okay. I think better customer service skills are in order read more

This office - I'm very upset with !! - I saw them December 11, 2019 - gave them all my insurance information I paid what they asked - they looked up all my insurance information - now getting a bill!! The first bill I received was in March ... That behind ... They haven't even billed my insurance - they were slow about billing or had to much to bill back in December-- I called manager on 3/19/2020 - they were going to check and rebill - I called my insurance they have never received a claim - Today 4/9/2020 received another bill and they say to avoid $30.00 service fee - - too behind in billing. No help at all - no follow up - just another bill Do they not understand what everyone is going through and tack on a service fee - acct past due !! I have tried calling insurance company - your on hold as they are short handed ... Why can't Claremont optometry do a rebill electronically!! Sure would be nice ... Show some care !!!! Not a happy customer !!!! Customer service is not good :( read more

I recently had my first appointment at Claremont Optometry. I had such a great experience. Dr Johannsen was very thorough and they had an awesome selection of glasses. The staff was very helpful from beginning to end. I will definitely be back next year! read more

I'm glad Yelp is out there to help me convey that I am not pleased or happy with this optometry group. Despite what other reviewers have rated them, I found the help staff in this group to be very unprofessional. They have a holier-than-thou attitude. Maybe they feel that they can treat senior citizens as second class citizens, but we are not exactly in the rest home yet. Let me explain: I came to them with a prescription for eyeglasses that I got from Lenscrafters. I had them make my last pair of eyeglasses, and I loved them! They had the same frames available that Lenscrafters didn't carry. So they made me a nice new pair of glasses that I paid for out of pocket, which cost me almost $700. You would think this would give you some special courtesy and consideration when picking up the new pair. The first lady tried to adjust the nose pads. She just guessed which might work with the glasses, and they were a different shape than my old ones that I loved. They were terrible and were digging into my nose. So I went back the next day and politely explained that I needed different nose pads. The new staffer who had only one year of experience and didn't look even thirty years old, acted astonished and cold, but with deference, she changed them to similar ones that I had before. She tried to look and adjust where they would sit on my face. I just don't know why she wouldn't use my old pair as an example on how to adjust the new ones. She grabbed my old pair of glasses out of my hands and proceeded to correct them, too. Now neither pair felt good!! I left the office for an errand and came back and politely asked them to make another adjustment because one side was digging into my nose bridge. Unfortunately, I got the same person as the hour before. She took my glasses into the back room and made some kind of adjustment. When I asked her what she did, she wouldn't tell me. As a professional, she should have told me exactly how she adjusted them as a polite, and caring, and kind person, but she placated me and wouldn't divulge her secret. Thus, my rating to Yelp of only one star for very bad and insulting service. read more

I have been coming to Claremont Optometry for over 13 yrs now. I have always been see by Dr Baggarly. He's the best optometrist in Claremont. Their office staff is respectful and professional and always go the extra mile to help their patients. Dr Baggarly educated me on getting lasik, and referred me to Nvision. It was the best thing I did for me. I now have 20/20 vision, and my eyes are healing perfectly. I highly recommend Claremont Optometry. read more

Ive been a patient here for a few years now. Dr Baggarly has a true passion for what he does. He always answers all of my questions. It's nice to come into his office and see the same friendly faces from year to year. Keep up the the hard work guys and keep serving the community with all you got. read more

I've been going here for years. Several other family members used to go here , too. Very nice facilities and the doctors are super. Have my reservations about some of the other office personnel. And it seems that every year when I return there are all different office personnel so that might leave me to question what's missing? They're caution during Covid 19 is great. They really are doing everything possible to give their customers a germ free visit. read more

Dr. Baggarly is wonderful. He takes the proper time needed for each patient and has great bed side manor. I did not feel rushed at all. My Rx has not changed in years, thankfully. I wanted to update my glasses to look more modern and I picked the perfect pair. When I went to pick my glasses up I had Pamela assist me with my glasses fitting. I told her that I couldn't see out of my glasses at all. She ignored my concerns and said that's it's fine. But I literally could not see. I told her 3 times and I couldn't wear my new glasses out of the building much less to drive. I was too afraid to go back to have my glasses fixed. A year later I went back and my Rx was the same. I had a Dr. Baggarly look at my glasses and he said they were 2x too strong. I felt vindicated but felt horrible that my concerns were not acknowledged. Was it #instutionalracism ? I dont know! But either way I paid a pretty penny for glasses that I could never wear and my concerns were totally ignored. The eye dr is amazing but the supporting staff is horrible. read more

We've had very positive experiences here from the comprehensive exams with Dr. Baggarly to the selection and ordering of glasses with the assistance of expert optician, Scott. Thank you and keep up the outstanding customer service! read more

We have been going to Dr Baggarly the past 6 years! He is one of the best and this review is not to him but his team. If you are planning a visit there make you sure you have 2 hours to spare. They take a long time to get you out. They are not very organized or they seem organize but they take a long time. If you are getting glasses make sure you have 2 weeks to get them they ship them out and take at least 2 weeks to get them back. I also required the glasses to be shipped to a different city they say they provide the service and charge me for the shipping fee. It has been now 11 working days since the glasses arrived to their place and still I haven't receive them. Getting someone to call me back never happened. I had to call 3 times. They said they ship them and are to arrive in 5 more days!!!! ugh! Never again, they should have rush shipping them. Dr Baggarly if you read this please make sure your team get to work!! Thank You! read more

horrible office - they had my ssn and didn't even verify my insurance before i arrived - after driving 50 miles and wasting my whole day when i arrived they told me they didn't take my kind of vsp insurance. wouldn't recommend this practice at all-totally inept staff. read more

This was my first visit, and I couldn't have been happier. Screening before entering was exceptional, Dr. Baggarly was thorough, explained my test results, and at the end gave me a tour of the rest of the office on the way to the area to pick out frames. Virtually no waiting time. Had a wonderful time with Sada Lopez, who helped me with frames, got to meet Eugene Lee who went the extra mile in setting up my appointment, and the girl who tested my eyes was a delight, but I can't remember her name. All in all, it was a fantastic experience!! read more

Dr. Baggarly has been my eye doctor for over 10 years now, and he's always been friendly and helpful, and he keeps up on all the newest technology available. I'm always happy with the service here, and I'll be coming back for many years to come. read more

What a wonderful experience at Claremont Optometry. They are so professional and so friendly, I felt like I have known them for years. I have been recommending them to everyone since going and I feel so fortunate to have found such a great place! read more

Great staff. Everyone was really nice and helpful, overall a great and friendly experience. Definitely returning to this office to see Dr. Linh Ngo for any and all eye services I might need in the future. read more

Dr. Baggarly helped me with a vision test and provided great care!! when it was time to pick my glasses, I was helped by Scott who was AMAZING! so sweet & such a great help, everyone is so sweet! read more

Claremont Optometry and Dr. Baggarly are amazing! They provide friendly service, take the time to explain what your insurance covers and what you are responsible and are not trying to sell you services or products you don't need. They have a good selection of frames and sunglasses and have skillful technicians who are patient and diligent throughout the process. I highly recommend this optometrist! read more

They are never on time. They putting you in a room and close door . This is just wrong,,, found out the doctor was not even here. read more

The eye exam process is fair. The problem is they are CONSISTENTLY running behind or very SLOW in everything they do. When you make an appt expect to wait at least 30 minutes to even be called. They don't have a great selection of glasses. I would not recommend coming here. Time is money. read more

It has been a pleasure being a patient of Dr. Baggarly, he is a pleasant conversationalist who makes you feel very comfortable while being evaluated. I am very confident in the process that they take to make sure that I am getting the best care possible for my eyes. I walked in for my appointment and was taken back to be seen within 5 minutes. It has been this way since I have seen him for a couple of years. read more

This place is amazing!! Serena and Nicole are the girls to see! The atmosphere is amazing and they have such an amazing range of glasses.

I had cataract surgery on both my eyes & i was told that medicare offers a free first set of glasses after cataract surgery- Claremont Optometry was recommended to me- I went to them & explained what I needed and (even though I had a prescription & complete exam by my Opthomologist- they said that I needed another exam - afterwards i was shown out to the showroom and i chose my glasses & the clerk who took my information told me that the total for my glasses was - well let's just say aLot- one of my requests for my glasses was transition - I've had the transition option for many years- the glasses did not transition to sunglasses- merely a light tint - I called & expressed my disappointment- was told to bring them back - which i did - the clerk who assisted me took the glasses & put them under ultra violet light - brought them out darker - he said he could take the transition off or thy could redo the transition but it would be the same - very frustrating- i was pretty upset so I left - my neighbors & my husband have all looked at the glasses in the bright sunlight and all agree there is a light tint but definitely NOT sunglasses- bottom line - they got their money & i have a useless pair of glasses. read more

My family and I have been a patient of Claremont Optometry for about 12 years the doctors have always been great but, the office staff over the years have not. I rushed to get there before they closed to get my daughters glasses to find out they closed 30 minutes early using the excuse they close early due to COVID. The office staff was still there but were to lazy to turn back on the computer to give me my daughters glasses. I called this morning to complain to the office manager she was even rude than her staff. I'm sure they could careless that they just lost 5 patients with that type of customer service my family and I will take our business else where. read more

This review is specific to Dr Baggerly. The overall office staff was friendly and efficient but I couldn't get an accurate prescription after 4 full visits. My current contacts are bifocal hard lenses and he was unable to replicate them and asked me to go to one near sight and one far sight...but, as noted, he still could never get the prescription correct. I had to do a complete eye exam TWO times and I honestly think they must have lost my first file. Then 3 pairs of incorrect contacts later, I went back to Dr Koprivica. She got me perfect contacts within a week. Save yourself time and go to Dr Koprivica. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Johannsen for many years! Her staff is amazing. I highly recommend this location if you are looking for quality care!

Absolutely amazing doctor. HORRIBLE office staff. Will not return calls. Will not relay messages. Will not honor your requests. Completely unapologetic for their screw-ups. Cynical, sarcastic front desk girl (M). Good luck getting any supplies in a timely manner (N). You will also have to beg and plead to make a payment (D). They find it easier to keep sending you pointless statements with no options for cc payments. Again, love the dr, but will likely search for another provider because I simply cannot stomach the staff. read more

If I could give this place 1/8th of a star I would. They deserve zero, but I think that 1/8th of a star would kick them in their conservative uniforms better. I am a big fan of supporting local Claremont businesses. But this place is a sham and a scam. The staff is pretentious (with the exception of one woman whose name I forget) and their prices are obviously inflated, which is a horrible way to run a business. The whole office just emits a very creepy and snobby vibe. Do yourself a favor and go to a different office. They don't need your money and you don't need their arrogance or surly hustling. read more

My appointment was set quickly and the day of my eye exam was exceptional. My exam was thorough and as a first time patient I was impressed with the service and I will return next year for my exam. read more

I should've came to Yelp before I chose this place. I asked for some eye drops due to eye irritation. Got a full $139 exam instead. Also I was told that I must do the 'retina' test for $39 out of my own pocket. And he also wanted to perform another test for a lot more charge than this one. The doctor was eager to perform these tests even before checking if my insurance covered it, I had to remind him to check! (it ended up that my insurance did cover it, but with $200 deductible) . I felt that I have no idea what these tests were and I told the doc that I needed time to look into them before I decide. Then they made sign a refusal form to "refuse" the test, when I never wanted it (or even know what the test was) in the first place. On my way out, they even tried to sell me sunglasses with the doctor telling me 'might as well' do it. I refused. Even if it's insurance coverage, why would I spend anything not within reason? Unfortunately, I was slow in responding and still gave in to the 'retina' test in which where just 2 photos of my eye and even now I still have no idea why I spent that $39 on the retina. I am very upset about paying for this (39+10 copay = $49) and felt that I was rushed into making a decision that I don't know much about. The doctor just said he's very concerned and wanted to know why I'm not a 20/20, kept on talking about receiving light etc. Even if I did need these, please explain it until I understand and please, do not decide for me or rush me. When I went to CVS, the subscription never came in. I don't even want to bother calling it in anymore. Forget it. Way to do business. I would never recommend this place to anyone. read more
