After having a negative experience with an eye doctor at one of the large chains, I asked my…read morefriends which optomitrist they would recommend in the Syracuse area. Krzyzak Eyecare was recommended more than anyone else, so I decided to give them a try, and I'm very happy that I did. It did take a few months to get in there initially, so if you are reading this and thinking about schedueling an appointment, plan accordingly. While I usually hate waiting, I considered this to be a good sign that people are happy here and that I was making a good choice. For my exam, I met with Dr. Michael Krzyzak, who I felt was very personable and did an excellent job explaining what he was doing and what the best options were for my situation. After the exam I met with the absolutely wonderful Alicia, who helped me pick out my new frames and was very thorough in making sure that she had the perfect measurements for my new progressive lenses. When someone knows what they are doing like she did, it adds a whole new level of value to buying your glasses in house, rather than online. And when I came back to pick up my new glasses, she made me feel like a VIP even though I am new to the practice. The whole experience was everything that I could have asked for and I'm so grateful to have found an eyecare team that I have complete confidence in and will now stick with.

I have been here twice. The first visit was with Dr Wells and the second with Michael Krzyzak. Both…read morevisits were a great experience. Both doctors took the time to explain things so that I understood my eyes, issues, etc... versus my prior eye doctor who would say, "you have astigmatism". With no further explanation. I appreciated the time spent with me and taken to confirm that I had no further questions. I did not feel rushed at any time. The optician who assisted with my contacts was also very nice and patient - if you haven't worn contacts, what a task learning to put them in and out! You've been warned! She was encouraging and never made me feel rushed. They've got a new patient to add to their roster and I would encourage anyone I know to go there too.

Not to mention I paid a lot of money to just have my prescription stay the same because he could not come up with a new one. Total waste of my time and money!! After all, I still had to go to a new doctor to get an accurate prescription for my eyes.

He has a location in Cazenovia that he uses a couple days a week but I have been frequenting the Syracuse location as of late. They use the latest in eye scanning technology (you can avoid getting traditional dilation if you choose) and check ups are usually quick and painless. Everyone at the office is great at offering an opinion on a choice of frames which is always appreciated.

I called after 2 weeks and they we not in. I called a few days later, still not in. they kept telling me they didn't know why they we not in. All I kept getting was NO ANSWERS!! I asked why didn't they call their vendor. 4 weeks later glasses came in I opened the glass case put a soft cloth on them to clean and the frames broke in my hand. I will never go back to these Jokers again. There are many good eye care places in our area, this is not one of them!!

He was very knowledgeable and took me through each pretest calmly and thoroughly. I then got to see the doctor after a series of tests on my eyes. I actually saw Dr. Malara today with his assistant, Joshua. I appreciated. Dr. MaLara's candidness with me and suggesting cataract surgery. They also tested my retinas which came out fine. At the end, I met with a technician named Dawn who explained my options for eyewear and gave me my updated prescription. This is, by far, probably the best optometrist and business in the Syracuse area! - Dr. Debbie Anderson

STERLING OPTICAL - Great Customer Service and Eye Wear!!!…read more Visit Date: Saturday, October 26, 2024 I was completely impressed with the morning greeting and enthusiasm of the team members when I entered the building. I instantly felt like I had been doing to Sterling Optical for years and it was first eye exam and new glasses shopping. I wanted t something new exciting and kind of not my usual pick for eyeglasses. Anna and other teams pulled out 4 different pairs of glasses. One being a thick red set. I didn't like the first set but another went girl in the back and brought out another red pair. And oh my gosh they were amazing. The exam process was done by the apprentice - Izzy (sorry if I spelled this wrong). was asked first if it would be acceptable for Izzy to conduct the eye exam process. I said yes. The video technician and ophthalmologist visit also went smoothly. I left this building feeling appreciated as a customer, excited to come back to get my glasses and just the overall human capacity of being KIND. Thank you so much for the first time experience!

This is a very different kind of practice review!…read more 1) First of all, it has stood the test of time -- my opinions have not changed, other than to reflect the positive movement over time as I have adjusted to bi-lateral cataract surgery. You might take some significant positivity from the simple fact that after slightly more than a year from my last visit to the office, I remember the people's names below. 2) I happen to be DEAF -- this means that my EYES are significantly more important to me than they are for hearing people. I NEVER TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED! Any impairment of my eyesight has a super major impact upon my life and my abilities to react with the world around me. My eyes ARE my ears also!! 3) In general, this practice distinguishes itself from others, including hospital based practices, for exceptionally strong, people oriented, very friendly and genuinely caring STAFF! Lets start with the font desk, LAURA -- she's a gem! The paperwork can be confusing, she takes care of ANY problems so that they never crop up again! She's vivacious and always had a personal comment to make the visit pleasant and actually enjoyable. Allen -- he's definitely a plus on the office and technical side of the practice! He manages very complex scheduling needs, and manages to rearrange appointments when sudden impact events require changes!! He's also very adept with some of the technical testing machines as well!! He's a very positive guy. Sam -- he's the chief technician in the office. Sam manages to be super efficient, while being genuinely friendly and open and encourages engagement with his patients. Never fear asking Sam questions! If he cannot answer, he certainly knows who can -- and I suspect he tips 'em off because these others lead their arrival in the exam room with the answers!! This is a major plus for the practice! Amanda -- she's a part of the technical staff, and closing in on Allen and Sam in terms of her abilities. The medical staff I interacted with were Drs. Stewart, Dexter and Heater: Dr. Stewart is a world renown eye surgeon famous for his work with Lions International, the group that referred me to Eye Surgeons of CNY when another practice seriously dropped the ball. This is one busy physician!! Still, he found the time to meet me during my first visit and got to know me a bit -- which honestly, was not expected! It DEFINITELY was appreciated! Dr. Dexter is the most active surgeon in the practice. He's friendly, engaging, and actually manages to remember personal details from conversations not part of the patient chart!! Outstanding!! This man is tops in his field -- and gave me corrections BETTER than 20/20 which have held. I'm in awe of what I can see, which is significantly better than I had been expecting. Dr. Heater is the practice's Doctor of Optometry. She participates in the pre and post surgical evaluations. Dr. Heater is vivacious, efficient, and very effective with what she does!

I am very happy with the results and would definitely recommend Dr Dexter and his staff to help you with your eye problems.

The staff…read morehere at this location (former Shoppingtown Mall store) is outstanding and the new location is very nice. Selection is quite vast as you'd expect from a large eyewear chain like LensCrafters. They are patient with you while you try on a large pile of frames, and add them to an area where they will be sanitized before going back on the shelf. Everyone I dealt with on my last visit to get new glasses and sunglasses was friendly and professional. The gentleman who helped order my lenses and fit me for them was awesome and one of the reasons I continue to use them. I did have to wait about 20 minutes to pick up my new frames when they came in, but it's to be expected when the store is busy and people are getting personalized service. All in all, I've found no reason to switch from LensCrafters in Dewitt after al these years. they continue to do a great job and offer a great selection.

I will never be back and I will consistently tell everyone who needs glasses to steer clear of all LensCrafters.
