Would not make new lenses for my Silhouette glasses...wanted me to purchase new frames. My frames…read moreare good, did not need new ones. Said they needed a frame number to make lenses but I think that is hooey. All they need for Silhouettes is the shape and where to put the hardware holes. Went to another spectacles shop out of state and had to jump thru hoops to get my prescription from VisionSource. Not helpful. I had also recently received another bill from them after paying over $1200 on my original visit for my wife's glasses and our eye exams. Their eye exam fee structure is not clearly defined...thus the extra $140...was not over 30 days due and they would not release my prescription data TO ME until I paid that bill. I paid it. Will be the last dime they get from me

Even as late as May 2021 they require that you arrive just minutes before appointments, you cannot have anyone with you during appointments and you must submit to having you tem taken, wear a mask constantly and answer a number of questions before entry into the building despite the fact that I am in a wheelchair and am FULLY vaccinated for the virus. In general the businesses in this town are into control and going on power trips, BUT these people seem to be former Gestapo and SS officers...just talk to the Officer Manager and you will see what I mean!

I have always liked family vision. However, something has changed. They have limited hours. They…read moredon't call when your glasses are ready. Several of my friends warned me that they say they call, but they don't. So, you have to call to see if your glasses are ready. They messed up my first prescription. They wrote my left eye for my right and vice versa. After waiting 5 weeks for my glasses, they had the wrong prescription. I couldn't see or read very well. I returned and they rechecked my eyes. They made new lenses. It took 6 weeks to get my new lenses. They are correct this time. But, it took almost 3 months to get a pair of glasses that work. That seems excessive. I definitely don't recommend them any more.

I am a physician with a complicated corneal problem that arose from radial keratotomy procedures to…read moreimprove my eyesight many years ago. When I saw retina specialists regarding eye "floaters" I also asked for recommendations regarding potential cataract surgery in view of my multiple corneal problems. These ophthalmologists offered very effusive praise for Dr. Sally Mellgren's meticulous, precise surgical technique and described her surgical skills as "truly extraordinary". During my first initial and pre-operative visits, I found Dr Mellgren to be very warm, caring and knowledgeable about my complicated corneal problem. She was very patient answering a long list of questions that I had and demonstrated expertise in the newest techniques and intraocular lens products available, including some that were not yet available in the US markets. Her office has the very latest in ophthalmology diagnostic equipment, some pieces being duplicated from different manufacturers to allow results to be cross-checked. The front desk staff was friendly, efficient, and professional. The technicians that performed various tests were very knowledgeable and proficient at using many different pieces of diagnostic equipment and had a very professional manner. I have already undergone the first cataract surgery, and have the other eye scheduled later this month. Overall, I have been very happy with my choice of Dr. Mellgren.

Disgraceful in general but even more so for someone elderly to have to wait so long and to have to pay the aide she hired to take her to the Dr's office overtime to boot. Not only that, when she went back to get the new glasses, the new glasses were not properly fitted and hurt her nose because the optometrist or assistant said that she didn't have enough time to address the issue. So now she'll have to see someone to adjust her glasses, and pay her aide to take her there. Next time she's going to Costco because then if there is a wait, at least she could shop or watch TV in the meantime.
