The front desk staff were rude, dismissive, and showed zero compassion toward patients. What made it worse was the blatant racism. Staff members were visibly unwelcoming toward Asian and Muslim patients, and I personally witnessed them mocking ethnic names -- laughing among themselves in a way that was humiliating and completely unprofessional. This is a medical office, not a place where patients should have to tolerate discrimination. On top of that, their appointment policy is absurd. If you are even five minutes late -- despite traffic, parking, or any other reasonable circumstance -- they will cancel your appointment on the spot and move on without any grace or understanding. No call, no warning, no flexibility whatsoever. This place is not a welcoming environment. The behavior of the staff is harassing, disrespectful, and frankly unacceptable for any business -- let alone a healthcare provider. I urge anyone from a diverse background to look elsewhere for eye care where you will actually be treated with dignity.

We always went to Dr. Peters and then Dr. Bailey because of the quality friendly service we always received. My wife was on her last pair of contacts and called to schedule an appointment - first one available is 2 1/2 months out. She called back again to see if she could buy a box to hold her over to the appointment and the new people told us they would not do that without giving her a checkup first. Her prescription is "-6" in each eye, so I guess that they just want her to live blind for the next 2 1/2 months. Well, the new practice under Dr. Johnson has just lost one of their longest term customers. I am happy for Dr. Bailey in his retirement but we already miss him. It is a shame that the practice he continued to build after Dr. Peters lacks the basics of customer service.

She was incredibly friendly, kind, and patient with my children, going above and beyond to make their visit a positive experience. Melissa even took the time to give the kids small gifts, which completely made their day. More importantly, she genuinely engaged with them and helped them feel comfortable and excited about being there. It's not often that children leave a doctor's appointment asking when they can come back, but thanks to Melissa, that's exactly what happened! Her kindness, professionalism, and attention to making families feel welcome truly set this office apart. We are so grateful for the exceptional customer service she provided and look forward to future visits. Thank you, Melissa, for making such a lasting impression on our family!

Instead of the office charging for my annual exam which is covererd at 100% with a $10 copay, the office fraudently diagnosed me with hypertensive retinopathy and submitted a claim to my healthcare insurance rather than my eye insurance to receive a larger bill for service in my RN professional opinion. I am in perfect health with no medical concerns whatsoever. I have seen multiple eyecare professionals since and without explaining my experience in this office they agreed there is absolutely no signs of hypertensive retinopathy on my exam. I reported her to the VA Board Of Optometry and other government agencies that aid in these fraudulent matters. Beware.

I was really interested to see the photos of my eyes, which Dr. Dense explained to me. He assured me that he had no concerns with my eyes and confirmed that he was aligned with my prescription and treatment plan. There was an upcharge for a couple of tests, so my copay was a bit more than I was expecting, but I'm very happy with the thoroughness of my visit, and would recommend Dr. Deese to anyone looking for an eye doctor.

I am extremely disappointed with this location of the VEI. I recently went to the Westchester…read morelocation for an eye emergency and had a wonderful experience with friendly people and no issues. They had to send me here for my regular check up bc they don't have a regular eye doctor at the other location. Nobody told me this doctor does not have credentials to accept vision insurance. I arrived for my appointment and was told upon check-in that I had to pay out of pocket, even though I have vision coverage that is accepted by the practice overall. I shared this should have been told to me when the appointment was made and they offered to cancel my appointment. I already came out of my way to a very inconvenient location to get this appointment done, so no, I'm not cancelling. Luckily I have the money to pay, many others would not. The young lady at the front desk handled herself well, even when I was not calm. I then had to wait for the doctor. Appt was at 330. The tech brought me back and took the measurements and I then had to wait for the doctor. The doctor seemed to second guess my prescription a few times. They made me sign something that I got my prescription even though I didn't. Then they messed up the bill. They had charged me $99, then the eye dr said I owed $1 because it should've been $100. I told the lady at the desk that I owed her a dollar and she said I didn't owe the $99 and would void it. I told her I didn't think that was the case and that I owed $1 for the difference and she insisted I only owed $1 for the entire visit and voided the $99. I wasn't going to fight her. She called a day later to tell me I will be getting a $99 bill ‍. The eye doctor is a once/year visit if we are lucky. Poor experiences will not keep me coming back. Guess it's time I find another practice. Given my insurance wasn't charged and I have no faith in the prescription from this doctor, I will be going somewhere else before ordering new glasses or contacts.

I've loved being a patient at Grove Eye Care. You know how everyone has a doctor visit they're kind…read moreof afraid of? Eye doctors used to be that for me, but after my experience with Grove Eye Care, I feel much more confident and relaxed. I had my first visit back in 2023. I was looking to start wearing contacts and to get a new glasses prescription. Booking an appointment was easy. My first visit is a bit of a blur since it's been over a year, but I did have main takeaways. Whoever it was that guided me in how to put on contacts was the kindest and most encouraging person I've met. In my experience, a lot of eye doctor visits have involved inpatient people (I can understand because I would feel inpatient hearing the same six letters over and over again). I did not feel this way with my contact teacher. She was there to support me and made me feel welcome. I highly recommend getting contacts here. The contact experience involves getting the right prescription for you with a doctor, learning how to put them on, getting trials for a week, then returning to see if you'd like to order them. I have VSP which helped with the cost and have enjoyed the Bausch and Lomb Infuse 1-Day contacts. As for eye exams themselves, on an annual check-up this week, I did have a more impatient examiner, who didn't really explain all the machines to me which I didn't mind as much because I felt more confident, but had wished she told me when bright lights were flashing. They have a machine you can pay extra for so you don't need to get your eyes dilated which is nice. My first examiner in 2023 did explain everything. I think you just need to ask. My doctor is Dr. Schwartz. She helped me with my contact journey as well as treating headaches and dry eyes. She's very direct and to the point and can answer any questions you may have. I've enjoyed having her as my doctor. During my visit this week, I explored possibly purchasing new glasses/lenses at the shop section. It was a bit out of my price range, but do know you can get your prescription for free and if you need the distance of your eyes it's a $10 charge. If you're feeling uneasy about eye doctors, this is a great place to feel more confident and comfortable with them. The parking is easy here with a lot out front. It's near Carytown. And there is a gender neutral single stall for bathrooms. I highly recommend.

Everyone is so kind here, and my appointments go super quick without feeling rushed. (No waiting on…read morethe doctor for ages!) I appreciate how the doctor shows you the scans of your eyes and explains the different things he's looking for and why. Have been seeing Dr. Levy for years but he recently retired.
