The Dr has crammed an amazing array of diagnostic equipment into a itty bitty exam room. But it works. I can testify Dr. Garhofer is knowledgeable and professional. He asks about details and responds to questions, even stupid ones. Since this is one of the few corporate optometrists accepted by eye care plans, expect a long wait for an appt. Like months. I called in August to get a November appt (earliest). I only get contacts. Usually I am wary of buying my lenses thru the office, but I researched it and their prices for my lenses were actually cheaper than thru 1800CONTACTS. Do your own research regarding glasses. Billing seemed accurate. They did charge a hefty 'fit and follow up' fee, typically not covered by insurance, and they pretty much fail on the follow up part, I'm not entirely sure my recent lenses are quite right. The front office staff didnt seem interested in being friendly. They seemed eager to have me out the door and no desire for the follow up part. So, lose a star. Now I'm on Medicare Advantage, not sure if I'll be back now :(

Updating my review in honor of Women's history month. Let me start by saying this- this review will…read moreprobably sound like I am personally friends with the business owner- I am not but wish I was. I met McKenzie by running into her shop ten minutes before closing time, racing over after work to get my broken glasses repaired. i was fully prepared to pay the repair fee posted on the website- she insisted it wasn't that big of a fix and wanted to do it for free. When I insisted on paying, she charged me $3. I have gone back several times for glasses fittings and repairs and she never charges. Most recently I came in with a bunch of glasses to see how different they were from the new script I received from the eye doctor . She so kindly tested every single one. I was prepared to finally pay her for her kindness by buying a pair of sunglasses or at least sunglass lenses, and she acted with the most integrity I have seen from a business owner in ages. She said that despite none of the prescriptions being the exact same there was one pair of sunglasses that were close enough that for sunglasses which are more forgiving I wouldn't notice a difference and that if she were me she wouldn't bother buying new ones. She absolutely could have sold me a pair of sunglasses- it was again right at closing time and instead she helped me out and did not charge a penny. I don't know how she stays in business but I am so glad she is. I think its worth the cost to go somewhere that is doing it right. The prices are high because her costs are high- she has what is likely a razor thin margin. Unfortunately because she does not have an optometrist or ophthalmologist on staff she can't bill insurance, but for those without vision insurance or looking for an extra pair etc- I would highly recommend Capital Eyes/ McKenzie and her adorable shop puppy. 10/10 service, a decent selection and she is so great at making recommendations (she had customers buying glasses the last time I went in so I got to watch her in action).

I read up on their reviews from other sites and through word of mouth and decided to book an appointment. I am very glad that I did! All of the staff were very friendly and accommodating - welcoming me as a came in and throughout the entire examination and fitting. The optical evaluation staff were supportive, listened to my experiences in sight, and took the time to complete things effectively and thoroughly. They engaged in not only "shop talk" about my vision but also "small talk" to make me feel at ease and get to know me. This was much appreciated. After the evaluation was completed, I only had to wait a few minutes for the results to be shared. Once that was done and the doctor recommended what prescription I needed and the type of glasses that would be best, I went over to their fitting and selection side of the office. The woman that helped me was very professional and nice as well. She had me take a look at the many types of frames they had and pick out some that hit the style I liked. Then she grabbed a few more that were similar and had me try on about four or five different ones to let me decide which were the ones I wanted. From there, we talked about lens. I chose to go with the transition lens (which, I have to say have taken some time to get used to; but it'll come). They placed the order and came within that time window they said. Got them picked up, fitted a bit, and was on my way. They seemed to get a wee bit loose after a few weeks and I was easily able to swing by and get a free adjustment. Now they fit great. They also are very easy to work with when it comes to insurance (which isn't always the case with doctors' offices). My only wish for them is that they were open a bit on Saturdays. For me, it's hard to get there from work on weekdays and had to wait for a day off to visit. Other than that, all was great and I highly recommend them.
