    Dr. Grosso is super sweet. But his staff is not friendly or helpful. We had a really bad experience and will not be returning.

    Absolute scammers…read more I want to preface this review by saying that everything that happened to me today happened last year when I ordered my contacts through them as well. That time, I chalked it up to a misunderstanding. This time, it's clearly a scam. Several weeks ago I got my annual eye exam. My prescription didn't change much, just a few degrees in one eye. Still have an astigmatism in the other. I have been wearing the same brand of contacts for years. The doctor asked me if I liked them. I said yes. We had a whole conversation about them being bi-weekly, and her double checking to ensure that I liked that. Then, she trialed me on the updated prescription. This part is important--I opened the trial contacts myself. I tried 3 different ones, just different numbers, *ALL THE SAME BRAND*. I know what they look like, I've been using them for years. My trial was the same as what I always use, what we discussed, and what I asked for. Flash forward to picking up my contacts. I pre paid when I ordered. When I arrived at the store, I look in the bag and the first thing I notice is that there are not enough boxes for a year supply. There are. 12 pairs of contacts. I pick up the box, and it's not my brand. It's the store's own personal brand. Not only are these monthlies, but they're a whole separate brand. I tell the girl at the desk (glass, black hair, shorter) that these are the wrong contacts. While she was professional enough, I do want to say that she was very passive aggressive with me. She told me that the doctor trialed me on this brand. I told her I opened up the contacts myself and that the doctor and I had a whole conversation about it, and that is factually untrue. She just says "okay" and then continued to say FIVE MORE TIMES that the doctor trialed me on this new brand and that I'm wrong. I shut it down each time. Anyway, I ask for my correct contacts, and come to find out that the doctor put it IN MY PRESCRIPTION that I can only have this brand. In my literal prescription, the thing that I should be able to take to any store, she noted that I can only have some soft flex thing or whatever that's in their own personal brand. This is absolutely crazy to me, which I made sure to tell them. I straight up asked to girl helping me "does this not seem like a scam to you? To say that I can only have the brand made by your company?" She didn't really have much to say about it. It was very clear that she thought I was the problem, when they're the ones running a very clear scam. I stayed until they changed my prescription to take that out. We never discussed this brand. Never discussed soft flex. The girl at the desk tried to tell me that my old brand wouldn't work for my astigmatism, but I told her the astigmatism isn't new, and that the brand does cater to it. She did a quick check to very quickly realize I was right. They tried to order me the correct contacts, but I had them refund my order entirely and give me an updated prescription to take elsewhere. This place will never, EVER be getting my business again. It feels like it should be illegal to put that I can only have this company's brand in my official medical prescription. Absolutely absurd. I'm sure they get a kick back from selling their own brand somehow, especially since this happened to me not once, but twice. And on the second time, I clarified with them at the order that I wanted the same brand I always wear, and they confirmed that's what I'd be getting. I walked out of there nearly an hour later with no contacts, and an absolute disgust from this company and Doctor Diem Tran. They should be ashamed of themselves.

    america's best is a stretch. used to go to eyeglass world and had no issues. the staff was friendly…read moreand helpful. my lenses were changed out in less than 48 hours. the price was very affordable when paying oop. now that they changed they wont change my lenses cause my frames are designer. they had a long list of frames they won't do. they always had you sign a waiver and they charged you extra for your own frames, so not sure why the negative switch. hope their corporate sees this cause they lost a loyal customer. *2 stars cause their employees are always helpful and knowledgeable

    Fantastic customer service. I stopped in to have minor adjustments made to two pair of glasses…read more Even though I hadn't purchased the glasses from Stanton, Jose fixed them within a few minutes at no charge. These days it's not often to experience such great service, with a pleasant personality and smile. They even offered me a bottle of water while I waited. Next time I need new glasses, I'll be going to Stanton Optical in Santee!

    It's a scam. Pretty upset actually. And the second woman that helped me was pretty condescending…read more Walked in telling her I was only interested in the "2 glasses + eye exam for $79". Long story short, I paid $118 and did not come home with any glasses. I was told that the frames would be an additional $100 because I required thinner lenses. Then after deciding to take my prescription elsewhere and just pay for the exam, an additional $39 was added. I asked why and she said that I had a special test done. I told her no one mentioned this to me and she said " well it's only $39". I feel gross. I'm really upset that they got away with it. The woman was making me feel bad for not having insurance and kept asking questions that were unhelpful. UPDATE: I was contacted by the regional manager who sincerely apologized for my experience. I appreciate his care and attention towards the matter. Hopefully he helps to align his staff on an ideal customer experience

I didn't have to fill out anything when I arrived. I arrived early and saw the Doctor early. Front desk Staff and Doctor were very friendly and professional. They have all the updated machines to scan your eyes and save a lot of time. There is no extra cost for these either, which other optometrists always try and upsell you on. I was able to use my insurance for the exam and even out of Network it only cost me a 10$ copay with VSP. I was able to get a paper copy of my prescription to take home. I was very impressed with how efficient and professional everyone was. I highly recommend this office and Company. The convenience of their website is amazing and intuitive. Anyone would be able to use it and it doesn't ask to much of you.
