See all

do not pass go do not collect $200. Don't go anywhere else come here for your eye needs. 5 star service, above and beyond expectations for an eye doctor and boutique. i recommend halsted eye boutique without hesitation. the longer version: i happened upon halsted eye boutique when checking zoc doc for 5 star reviews for optometrists. [[HIGHLIGHT]]scheduling is very easy - they are very attentive & even give you a number to text for anything you need.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] walking into the shop is a burst of positivity - greetings from the staff and even the cutest little pup feta. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Jo immediately put me at ease & spent time with me for my intake. i felt like a friend not a number in a doctors office.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] my doctors appointment with dr becherer was too notch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]i worked with dylin, who basically has become eyewear rock & picked out glasses that day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came back for contact lens lessons & dylin could not have been more patient as i struggled time after time to simply get a contact in my eye - but to quote him "i persevered."[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] i saw dr patel for the contacts who was also great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff has gone above and beyond to help me, especially given chronic migraines.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They helped me figure out the right glasses and contacts and special lenses for my condition, and have been very accommodating with my schedule.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] i will forever come to halsted eye boutique for all my eye needs, and a special shout out to the fabulous dylin for dealing with my high maintenance taste and complete lack of ability to put a contact in. if i could give halsted eye boutique six stars i would. THANK YOU! read more

They are the best. Nancy fixes glasses up immediately. They take the time to get the right Rx, and if it isn't right, they will work with you to fix it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great team and service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The first four visits were OK.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The last time I was there instead of doing my eye examination, they put me through some test that I didn't need. When I got my final eye exam examination, I selected the frame and sent for eyeglasses to be made. The eyeglasses came out with the wrong prescription when I requested the doctor to revise my prescription she made it look like I was guilty of how the prescription came out. They pretended to send the glasses to be remade and when I came back, I discovered that they never sent them out. I know that because the glasses came back with the same marks that they put when they try to send it back to be remade. I paid $1100 for glasses that I cannot use. I have resorted to go back to my ophthalmologist and have him examine my eyesight again to have new glasses being made. The quality of the frames that they sell are awesome but they're lacking on customer service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They will sell a refrigerator to an Eskimo if they have to.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very disappointed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I can not speak highly enough about the service and care here. My boyfriend and I are both current patients . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Rachelle, who assisted us multiple times, was exceptional--professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She took the time to thoroughly explain our options and helped us find the perfect frames that suited our style and needs. The attention to detail and personal care she provided truly set this boutique apart. I highly recommend Halstead Eye Boutique for anyone looking for top-notch eye care and an outstanding selection of eyewear. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you, Rachelle, for making our experience such a positive one![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I never write reviews, but I felt compelled to do so. The experience that I had with this organization is top notch and my eyewear is killer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone was warm and friendly; it felt like FAMILY.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The attention to detail and commitment to excellent service truly stood out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're looking for a boutique that combines professionalism with a personal touch, I can't recommend Joanna and her staff enough.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Professional, efficient and caring.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Went beyond the regular and ordinary office visit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The whole office staff was extraordinary.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Recommend this optometry office as 5 star. read more

Very bad service. The people are so rude. Trying to sell me things I didn't need including three pairs of glasses instead of one, In the whole process, including eye exam, they are not professional. read more

"The whole place operated more like a hair salon than an opthamologist." I think this is spot-on. If you look at their website and the spam emails they send, it's mostly instagram-like pictures of the doctor. So, yes, hair salon! read more

Sad to have to leave a 1 star review as I really wanted this to be my future eye doctor but the amount of problems were beyond fixing. 1. Very scammy sales behavior. Pressured into doing out of pocket options. And when it came to glasses plenty of options were added to the bill without an itemized detail of the costs until you asked to pay the final amount. It was as bad as a stereotypical salesman. 2. Extremely aggressive with forcing people to wear masks when no mask mandate is in effect. 3. I opted out of text message sales notifications so they didn't even tell me when my glasses came in. I had to reach out and found they had them for nearly 2 weeks. No call or email to let me know. 4. Picking up glasses is almost as much of a hassle as an initial exam as they make you make an appointment. I would not recommend this place and will not be back for any reason even though the actual eye exam went well. read more

I had the opportunity to work with Nancy today and she was so very pleasant. Very savvy and offered my children and me everything from glasses, to water, hot chocolate, and beer! The boutique is very neat and clean. Nancy was able to pull up my VSP benefits in a quick moment and showed me their awesome lines including Furla and Tom Ford . I made my selection over a cup of coffee and friendly conversation. I will be recommending this place to everyone, come see Nancy , she's the best !!! read more

Halsted Eye Boutique - Free reusable bag for my contacts! - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have been going to Dr. Slusky for many years - and her and her entire team are all fantastic. They take their time, give a thorough evaluation (I hate the this one/or this one eye test), and have a great selection of cool frames. I also wear contacts and they are very patient working to make sure that the lenses are both comfortable and provide great vision. I like that they use all the modern technology and are always recommending the new and improved contact lenses and products. I can't recommend the experience with them enough! read more

I've been a regular patient since 2017 and have had consistent great service, both for my glasses and dry eye condition. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This summer I had some challenges with my new eyeglasses, and the team (Nancy in particular) was patient and made sure I left with an excellent new pair.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I was beyond impressed by both the care and the setting of the Halsted Eye Boutique and its team! I was very disappointed by my previous eye care team and Hasted Eye Boutique made me excited and most importantly feel confident in trusting eye care doctors again! Do not hesitate to book an appointment and see if this team is right for you. To top it all off, their selection of eyewear, both eyeglasses and sunglasses is beyond amazing! I fell in love with my new eyeglasses and will be returning for prescription sunglasses! I am in my 30's and contacts are not the most comfortable anymore, but my doctor helped fit me with the right pair for my dry eye issues, I can now be excited to go to the beach as a four eyes girl! Thank you to everyone at Halsted Eye Boutique! read more

Halsted Eye Boutique - My new blue light prescription eyeglasses from Halsted Eye Boutique. Love them! - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I went here a little less than a year ago and normally i don't like to leave bad reviews but i figured my review might help someone. i will start by saying that the store is very clean and has a great selection of frames. the woman at the front desk was very sweet and helpful, so that part of my visit was fine-- the wait to see the doctor was a little long but i understand that sometimes eye appointments take longer than expected. i had an appointment with Dr Angela Kumar to get new contacts. the ones i had at the time were the most expensive of the daily contacts at most places and since i was more used to wearing contacts, i wanted to change to some i could actually afford. long story short, not only did Dr Kumar basically refuse to let me even try on a different kind of contacts (apparently they would be too uncomfortable because i was used to the fancy ones, though i wish she'd let me decide that for myself), she also changed my prescription to one and a quarter points weaker than my previous prescription. i tried to tell her politely that maybe i just wasn't used to the 'right' prescription but i couldn't see very well, and she basically said 'yeah, that's what it is' and sent me on my way. i was honestly about to just leave because i thought i was being crazy but i decided to try advocating for myself one more time and she raised the prescription by .25 for me. it was still way too weak. they tried to make me buy a years worth of the most expensive contacts they had in stock *in the wrong prescription* but thankfully i had enough sense to just pay for the exam and go somewhere else. the second optometrist i went to listened to everything i had to say and even helped me by making a list of contacts and prices-- i ended up with the correct prescription and bi-weekly contacts which feel the same but cost about 3x less. maybe i should have been even more firm but i felt rude and like a bother already. i feel bad saying it, but i would not recommend Dr Kumar, she made me feel like what i was experiencing was wrong and that i was being annoying. not sure why i'm the only one who had a bad experience-- maybe she was having a bad day or didn't like that i had colored hair at the time :-/ read more

What can I say, I've been wearing contacts and glasses for 20 years and over the years I've never had an eye exam as comprehensive and pleasant as with Dr. Slusky. I truly felt that she cared about the health of my eyes and left no stone unturned during and after the examination. She was even kind enough to send me home with samples from 3 different contact manufacturers so that I could test them all out to see which was my favorite. There is no question that Halsted Eye Boutique will be the exclusive place I go to for all of my eye exam needs in the future. Thank you again for making this such a pleasant experience!! read more

My exam with Dr Angela Kumar was amazing . She was so thorough and kind . I highly recommend giving her-a try. The office is so clean and professional . All the staff is so helpful they helped me pick frames to fit my face and Prescription, 5 stars for this place and Dr. kumar read more

Dr. Becherer is fantastic! I have dry eye disease that runs in my family and once I informed her, she was able to walk me through all my scans and tests to insure me I'm taking the proper steps in caring for my eyes. She took extra time to catch me up to speed on everything relating to my vision and taught me so much about my eyes! She is fantastic and I couldn't recommend her enough to go see! read more

I have been putting off my first eye exam for the last couple years as a man in my 40's I finally came to the realization it was time. I have been using my cell phone camera to read menus and check and finally was fed up . I was referred to Dr Slusky from a friend in the business. I really didnt know what to expect. I ended up that I had a combination of presbyopia and a slight condition. After Dr went over all my options regarding types of occupational . Oringinally I thought I only needed glasses for very close but Sr Slusky showed me how I can read my computer but I was stressing my eyes to read. My only regret is I didnt make the appointment years ago when the condition first started. I cant wait to pick up my new glasses next week. read more

I really enjoyed the service I received from Nancy. She has an eye for what looks great on a person. Thanks for your help. Great customer service and very knowledgeable. Love my glasses , I will return for my repair Thank you Nancy. read more

This place is Lovely!! It's 2 blocks away from my house and the staff is Amazing!! From the moment I walked in, I was met with kindness. I had my eye exam- and was given the best advice for contacts and eyeglasses:) Joanna is kind and spent way much more time with me, making sure my prescription was On Point. Jeimy was also very caring and listened to my needs for glasses. I like this place! read more

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Gloria was very helpful and was able to answer all my questions. Store was clean and my contact lense order was processed quickly. Totally recommend this place. I don't wear glasses, but if I did, this would be my spot. Very cool frames. read more

Went in to pick out some glasses and were assisted by Nancy. She was great! She knew what to recommend and was super friendly. I really enjoyed my time at the boutique, not only did they offer coffee but a few beers while making our selection. We both purchased glasses that day and were very satisfied with the service and attention by Nancy. Thanks! We will be back soon read more

Fantastic for my 3 year old! She threw wood chips in the air and got something in her eye . I was really worried about taking her to the doctor because she was terrible about letting us look at her eye at home. Even though the doctor schedule is full they worked us in that morning after I called. The doctor just did fantastic with her! I really appreciated how the office had toys and eyeglasses and squeeze pouches for the kids. I would happily go back to see dr. Slusky and recommend her any day of the week, so great with the kids. Did I mention they gave her a teddy bear?! read more

I've been a patient/customer since 2017 and regret not writing a positive review sooner. As an optometry patient, I appreciate most that I am treated like an individual here. Dr Slusky considers my personal circumstances (line of work, family medical history, etc.) when making recommendations and thoroughly explains all pros and cons of any choices I'm given. She never rushes the exam and answers all my questions without sparing the details. As a glasses customer, I appreciate most the high level of service. The opticians make great recommendations based on any combination of feature/aesthetic/costs (including all the complexities of insurance) criteria you throw at them. On the rare occasion something does go wrong, they also handle all warranty communications with the manufacturer. If I had to pick a negative, it's that this place is more expensive than the competition, but I think it's worth the premium level of service and quality. read more

Came in today. Michel was absolutely wonderful and helped me throughout the entire process. She explained the eye process but did not push any glasses on me and let me do my own thing when trying them on. Super knowledgeable and sweet! Thanks Michel read more

I had the pleasure of having a glasses and contacts exam with Dr. Kumar. I was pleasantly surprised that they have a retinal scanning machine which mean no need for dilation! Dr. Kumar was incredibly thorough in explaining everything she was doing and what the retinal scan showed. I was incredibly impressed with how she gave me multiple brands of contacts to try out before I committed to buying them long-term. The rest of the staff were very professional and knowledgeable. I love the glasses I picked out and will definitely be recommending this boutique to everyone! read more

Halsted Eye Boutique is one of the best optical eye center in my long time experience. I would like to share my first experience as follows. I picked up this optical center based on review with a long list provided by my insurance. When I visited the center, I was impressed by a friendly atmosphere. Then I was called by an technical expert to check my eyes and took some photos of my eyes. The most impressed service is from Dr. Joanna Slusky. She is a so devoted OD to her patients. She made great efforts to provide the best prescription on my eyes. My first glass from her prescription truly fits my eyes. The optician was also friendly and experienced. The lab worked with Halsted Eye Boutique provided high quality of lenses. The lenses fit to the glass perfectly. I normally like to pick up good quality frame and bring the frame with me. The store doesn't have any problem on that. Based on my first time successful experience with Halsted Eye Boutique, I decided to come again for my glasses in future. Recently I visited Halsted Eye Boutique for my eye glass. This is my first visit after the Covid-19 Pandemic. Again I received high quality services. Dr. Slusky still made great efforts to pick up the best prescription for me. She always considered quality first even used longer time. I waited for months to check the prescription and I feel comfortable for the new glass. Now I can confidently say, this is another excellent prescription. This time, I would like to mention a few things. First, on that day, the center just used a new system, thus, it took tremendous time for working out an invoice. The lady was so patient, she just continuously worked on the system. She finally finished the work around 2:30 pm. She didn't go to lunch until she finished the work. The center demonstrated a team spirit at that time. A coworker came more than once for helping out. Sometime, mistake could happen. The important issue is that how to deal with mistake. In my recent visit, when I picked up my glass, I noticed problem. The representative told me they would take care of the problem. The manager contacted me to make sure it will be taken care of. She also followed the case to make sure things move forward smoothly. When I picked up my glass second time, the problem has been fixed. Again the quality is very good. Based on my own experience, I would like to say this is truly a customer service oriented Boutique. read more

They found me a new pair of comfortable and cost effective lenses soo easily. They were so nice and had snacks and didn't rush me out the door. 10/10 read more

I have been a patient with Dr Slusky for almost four years now and I am so so thankful. She completely corrected my vision (I had a wrong prescription previously), solved my contact lens issues, and has advised me on what to do with the retinal issues I was having. She is so good at what she does, very thorough and knowledgeable about all the latest trends and innovations in eye care. It's a perfect match for me, I'm so lucky to have found Halsted Eye Boutique. Dr Slusky truly cares about her patients. Everyone in the office is also super helpful and sweet. Great team. Great addition to the Lakeview neighborhood. read more

I had a great experience here. The staff was efficient, courteous and very friendly. The eye exam itself was thorough and accurate, and Dr. Slusky was incredibly polite and affable. Once my general exam was over, I never felt overly pressured to purchase a new set of reading glasses. Before I left the office, Dr. Slusky gave me two different written prescriptions for something stronger, should I feel like my current glasses aren't enough. One was for something called, "progressives," which sounds like something I could use in the future. Luckily, everything is good right now. Other than prescription reading glasses, I don't need contacts or need to see an ophthalmologist. That's an ordeal yet to come. read more

excelente servicio siempre que voy me hacen sentir bien y en mi idioma son muy profesionales todo el personal que trabaja read more

Saw the lovely Dr. Kumar for my annual exam. She was super thorough, did not rush through the appointment, & answered all my questions without making me feel silly for asking so many. She kindly gave me trials of multiple brands of contacts to test out before I committed to purchasing a 6 month supply. The office itself is decorated nicely, super clean, & COVID conscience. Leaving off 1 star because they never answer the phone. Had some issues with my initial RX order that would've been much easier to resolve in a quick call. Instead, you get an automated text and communicate everything that way. read more
