TERRIBLE DO NOT GO HERE
I went to this optometrist April 9 2024. Dr. Christine Chen was great
When I went to purchase my glasses even though the guy Sean had my script in front of him. he didn't get the order correct. I was told I have the beginings of cataracts and should always wear sunglasses outside but he didn't offer me the option of darkening glasses. I told them I spend at least 12 hours in front of a computer and he didn't even ask about the blue screen protector. I called back yesterday at 5:05 pm and I know they close at 5 but really if I'm in the office 5 minutes after close I pick up the phone. I left 2 messages not to place the order that I wanted it cancelled. All I can use the glasses they sold me for is reading books. I have 6 pairs of reading glasses I got from costco that cost 20 not $300 for reading books, and who reads paper books anymore anyway with Kinder and Audible.. Also the sign on the wall says glasses 169 with lenses and coating which is what I asked for.
Instead I will be getting a pair of frames and lenses with NO coating for $300.95. I do not recommend getting glasses here. this is a low income neighborhood. These people look like they are just after money. The other girl Allison stopped helping us so she could serve someone else with insurance who was looking at more expensive glasses. I called again today to ask to stop the order and they said it was already sent- I'm almost positive orders get sent in bulk once a week. The girl on the phone Barbara wouldn't give me the phone number so I could call the company to cancel. I just paid for a pair of reading glasses. I am going to call VISA and see if they will stop payment on this order.
I also asked since I do have two pairs of designer frames one Marc Jacobs and one Alfred Sung if I could just give in those and have the lenses replaced, the frames are in great condition. Sean gave me a hard time about that but Dr. Chen said it would be no problem. AGAIN this is a low income neighborhood, and I don't have insurance, I don't think this company is here to help people at all, the reviews I have read are terrible- taking people's money and not providing the service . I will never go to a FYI clinic again and will recommend everyone that asks not to go either.
I wasn't even given a copy of my script for the option of going elsewhere. It cost me $165 for the exam which previously cost $80.00 and now if I want a new script to see someone else I am going to have to go back to a different Dr. read more
