I want to say the Dr. Richter, and the optometrist assistants working behind the scenes were great…read more They were very good, great customer service, and listened to all of my concerns. The prescription was spot on. The opticians were a mixed bag. The first man I worked with had some great selections in frames for distance, and a great recommendation for my reading glasses. They let me know my sunglasses would be on backorder. Not a big deal as I bought a pair of fliptops from Amazon to get by. My reading glasses and clear distance pair were ready in about 3 weeks later. The second optician on pickup was also very courteous and accurate with the adjustments which were basically none for me. The distance frames fit like a glove. Both the reading and distance were well done. So the sunglasses went by 3 weeks without any word. No big deal as I know tarriffs are affecting everyone. A month went by, but I decided to give it some extra time. Finally I texted in after seven weeks to ask if there was an update from the lab. They texted back that the sunglasses were in. Somewhat strange as I didn't get any notification that they arrived. The third optician was courteous, but decided to adjust my nose pads. This caused the sunglasses to ride high out of my comfort zone, and I decided to readjust them at home so they matched my distance pair. Second, the tint of the sunglasses was way off in opacity and didn't match my old pair. I was disappointed in that based on the price point. So now my flip tops are on the sunglasses to help cut down on the bright sunshine. Because of this I do have to knock off a couple of points. I am going to try my prescription online to see if I have better results for sunglasses later on this year.

For several years, I was a loyal patient at Total Vision, but my most recent experience was so…read moredisappointing that I can no longer recommend them. While my exam with the optometrist was positive, she recommended a trial of weekly contact lenses. I agreed, and was told the trial set would arrive in about a week--this was roughly two weeks before Christmas. I received no follow-up communication via phone, email, or text. After hearing nothing, I finally called on December 30th to ask about the trial. The staff admitted they were unsure why I hadn't been contacted but confirmed the trial was ready for pickup. Due to the delay and lack of communication, I decided to forgo the trial and simply order my usual monthly contacts instead. I offered to prepay in person, but was told I could pay upon pickup. Once again, I received no notification when my new order arrived--only an email I happened to see. When I went to pick up the contacts today, they had incorrectly ordered weekly lenses, not the monthly ones I requested. The weekly lenses happen to also cost close to double what the monthly cost. To make matters worse, when I asked for my contact lens prescription, I was told the optometrist needed to "edit" it before it could be released. They took my email and promised to send it within an hour. Given the consistent lack of follow-through, I fully expect to have to chase them down for it. I originally chose Total Vision over more affordable online retailers because I value in-person service. Unfortunately, the customer service throughout this process has been profoundly lacking--disorganized, uncommunicative, and error-prone. This entire experience fell far below a reasonable standard of care.

Not only was I not acknowledge when I went in, but I waited for assistance for at least 15 minutes and then was skipped over, almost ignored completely, except that I was asked to move aside while she assisted another customer who had just finished their exam coming in long after me. Equally frustrating was having to put more money on my meter to not be assisted.

Every single person I've interacted with has been warm, professional, and genuinely caring. The office runs in a way that feels calm and intentional--never rushed, never impersonal. Isaak made the pre-exam process easy and comfortable, and Lillian, the optometrist, is fantastic--she takes the time to explain everything in a way that actually makes sense and ensures you feel informed and at ease. On one visit, Lilly also stood out for being especially friendly and reassuring, with a "no problem at all" attitude that made everything feel seamless. And Dr. Singh--truly exceptional. He gave me an incredible amount of time and attention, to the point where it honestly felt like I was his only patient that day. That level of care, thoroughness, and presence is something you just don't see often. What really sets this practice apart is the consistency--every visit, every person, every interaction reflects a high level of care and pride in what they do. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
