Stopped by after work (super grateful they have time slots for 6pm)- Dr. Stoica was very professional and personable, and took time to explain how my eyes are doing. She provided me with a referral to another specialist who could help me with an eye condition that's been on the horizon (like that hazy little house you see during the eye exam...!), so will hit them up next on my journey to not so terrible vision. Just great customer service across the board- if you're looking for an optometrist/glasses/contact lenses/a vision test for the DMV so they stop sending you guilt inducing reminder emails, look no further.

    It took me two months of searching a variety of different locations before I found Westway, and I'd…read moredo it again to find such a wonderful, openminded, professional, friendly, and welcoming boutique shop. I was given no hassle when I arrived with a script in hand and only needing glasses. They were the only shop from my multi-month search that had even one pair I was willing to consider wearing for the next year, let alone the three I found. The prices are great. Even if you were paying out of pocket, Westway prices things reasonably. Their OOP price for the glasses (with lens treatment add-ons) I chose was equal to what I've paid at other places after all the insurance coverages and discounts were calculated. Oscar never once pressured me with an upsell to get a second pair of glasses or sunglasses, and he gave really solid recommendations after quickly catching on to my sense of style. And my finished glasses were ready in less than a week! As if that weren't enough, Oscar effortlessly passed the test I do every time I shop for glasses. I go to the women's section first. I wait for someone to redirect me to the men's section. I say something like, "You never know what you'll find...", and I await their response. Oscar's? "Ok!" And he chilled behind the counter until I was ready. Many thanks to the team at Westway for nurturing such an inclusive and safe medical and retail environment. Spread the word, consider bringing them your business, and help keep this gem serving customers for years and years to come.

    Friendly, and affordable. I called to make an appointment,…read moreI got one for the next day. I was out of there within 30 mins with a full exam, and bought a pair of glasses that will be delivered between, 6-10 days. No complaints here.

    I never thought I'd get excited about an optician. I was wrong. I'm thrilled to have Charlotte…read moreJones as my optician. She's extraordinarily patient, professional, knowledgeable, insightful, pragmatic, thoughtful and fun. The first time I visited her shop, I wasn't even looking for new glasses. I was accompanying my wife, who'd been referred by a co-worker. It was while listening to Charlotte work through options with my wife that I began wondering if I should purchase new glasses, myself. She spoke so naturally about eyeglasses beyond function, but as accessories, an expression of personal style. She went on to speak about the quality of lenses, and more. It was a bit of a master class. It didn't matter how many frames my wife tried on, Charlotte's patience never wavered. It wasn't long before I began asking to try different frames, myself. With my wife satisfied with her very stylish choice, I kept vacillating between two pairs of frames, one of which I preferred, the cost of which was more than I would normally pay for eyeglasses. We left it at that - no decision. My wife made her purchase and we left. Days later, with Charlotte's philosophy of eyeglasses as accessories and an expression of personal style ingrained in my mind, I returned to purchase the more expensive option. I'm very happy with them, and have since returned and purchased yet another style. Prior to working with Charlotte, I've never even thought of having more than one pair of glasses. Even if you weren't thinking of purchasing new eyeglasses, visit Charlotte Jones Opticians. You'll learn what a good optician is all about, and know exactly where to go when you're ready.

    Great service, selection, fashion choices. Beautiful frames, clean store, great area. Charlotte is…read morethe best.
