Update: They said it was in transit and would be delivered this past Saturday, they were not. Now they say they are going to be SHIPPED tomorrow.

I would just like an honest up front answer instead of this delay delay delay until it comes in. This is my second straight issue with this contact.

They have helped my find the correct frames; they take great care in adjusting the frames to my face and ensuring that they are comfortable and sit well. Also, while checking my frames, they noticed that I was having a problem I shouldn't be having and sent me to a retinologist - I found that I had a particular issue that needed attention - which I wouldn't have realized had it not been for them. During the COVID crisis they are open by appointment to protect not only themselves but also their customers, which, as a customer, I greatly appreciate. I hope they are here forever! (And the complaint about the 5 year old who was disruptive - the mother should teach him to behave properly - I have three children and many grandchildren and none of them would have behaved in such a manner; I would always bring books or toys to keep him/her occupied!

I had difficulty seeing anything up close with the contacts I wore that were based on her prescription. Reading books, checking my watch, or reading on my phone was impossible due to the blurriness. It bothered me for 2 years, and I was very frustrated with the issue. I asked her to adjust the prescription several times. She made slight adjustments, which were not helpful. She finally told me she could do no more, or I would have trouble seeing things far away. She also told me that it was normal to have blurry vision while wearing contacts when looking at things close up because contacts are different than glasses. This was incorrect information! I wasn't sure what the problem was, but I figured it was my eyes. Eventually, due to the discomfort, I gave up wearing contacts unless it was absolutely necessary. The issue was finally resolved when I took a trip to Taiwan and consulted an optometrist there who told me that the prescription Dr. Dalporto gave me was entirely wrong and too strong. They said that she should not have simply given me a prescription based on whatever the vision test machine determined. Every prescription needs to be adjusted based on each individual's lifestyle and habits so that anything--both close up and at a distance--can be seen clearly and comfortably. I received a new prescription, and when I tried the new contacts, I immediately noticed a huge difference. They were so comfortable, and I had no trouble seeing or reading things on a computer, on my phone, or close up. The problem I had with blurriness that had been bothering me for years was finally resolved! Now I can wear contacts again--every day, all day. I went back to Dr. Dalporto and asked her to adjust the prescription on file based on the new prescription. She simply copied the numbers directly from the Taiwanese prescription and checked my vision. It was 20/20, of course. Had she actively tried her best to help me achieve the most comfortable and accurate prescription years ago, I would not have suffered so much with blurry vision when trying to see things close up! When I complained, the office manager was cold and impatient and didn't apologize for all the trouble I had been through. Instead, she asked me, "Is there anything else?" At this point, I was so fed up with this mess and so shocked at the customer service I received that I decided to change optometrists completely for my own vision care. One of the fundamental jobs of an optometrist is to give correct, comfortable contact lens prescriptions to patients. If they fail to provide an accurate prescription, it raises serious doubts about their professional competence. This experience proved to me that Dr. Dalporto doesn't care about her patients' vision, nor does she try her best to solve the vision issues they have. Instead, she is very passive, only does what she is asked to do (but poorly), and performs vision tests that a robot could do. In a word, she is incompetent. Don't go to Dr. Dalporto. She is totally unprofessional and won't give you a correct prescription!

I gave them my vision insurance info and they said they accepted it. I got a call a few days later by a women at the front desk asking for my insurance. She told me the call center said that (why is a call center telling ppl if they approve of ins or not???) she said she would look into it and get back to me. I never heard from her. I called the AM of my appointment which I got a text confirming the appt but the office had never heard of me and didn't have my appointment. The women at the front desk were beyond rude! I would never even make another appointment there again.

First of all, I have been a patient of doctor Szewczyk for many years and have to admit that the quality of care is just outstanding. Doctor Szewczyk is never rushed and takes a holistic care of her patients. Few times, thank to her detailed tests (and advanced technology she is using), doctor identified several health issues that were outside of her area of expertise and I will always be thankful for that. I feel good that every time I have my annual check-up I see some new & best in class technology that is being used to examine my eyes condition and health - this means to me that I am at the right place since the care is evolving and I want my doctors to follow new technologies/research/innovations. Lastly, I only purchased two pairs of frames (in 8 years) and they last forever! I am still using both to work and continue to receive many compliments (the person that works at IFEC spent hours to help me find perfect frames, was patient and never rushed me, even recommended I come back in few weeks to get the perfect style and I got it!... so I don't have a need to change frames for a "better model"). Doctor is a genuine, kind, experienced professional and has a great reputation. Frankly, I never pay attention to the receptionist since my focus is always on the doctor expertise, but they always been very patient-focused, nice, friendly and I never experienced what others in reviews listed below. I work downtown so on many occasions I had to see other doctors for immediate care and when it happens I am always checking if IFEC didn't expand their location to downtown area (I wish, since i never get the same level of quality and care from other doctors/places around my office). Doctor's focus has been always on quality of care and best outcome for her patients. I never felt pushed to spend money at the clinic - actually I am saving my money (by being doctor Szewczyk patient I am getting a significant discount for LASIK procedure at Kraff institute - I was so positively surprised, thank you doctor for recommending this procedure/place to me!!) So happy and already counting days to my surgery!
