Dr. Terrarosa presented a straightforward and easy to understand diagnosis, explanation and solution to this condition that I had endured for a period of several years. The solution involved a procedure that when described, even those who aren't squeamish would rather not think about; however, owing to her kind, reassuring and ever so positive "bed side manner" she instilled a strong sense of confidence and assurance that immediately put me at ease with a total understanding of what was involved. As Dr. Terrarosa performed the procedure she provided easy to understand explanations as well as what to expect. The procedure went well without causing the least bit of discomfort. Likewise, the recovery caused far less discomfort than the dry eye condition. Most importantly, the procedure was most successful providing total relief. Again, many thanks to Dr. Anna Terrarosa for her excellent medical treatment

Honestly, the amount of time I had to wait at the eye doctor today was genuinely absurd. Like, I'm…read morenot even exaggerating when I say I feel like I could have completed an entire semester of school in the amount of time I spent sitting there. I walked in thinking, "Alright, this shouldn't take too long," because how complicated can an eye appointment really be? Apparently, extremely complicated, because somehow I ended up waiting for what felt like approximately 47 years. I got there, checked in, sat down, and figured they'd call me back pretty soon. Nope. I sat there. And sat there. And continued sitting there. At a certain point, I started questioning whether I was actually at an eye doctor or if I had accidentally signed up to become a permanent resident of the waiting room. I watched people come in after me, check in after me, sit down after me, and somehow get called back before me. I genuinely started wondering if there was some sort of secret VIP line that I had not been informed about. The worst part is that every time someone opened the door, I thought, "Finally, this is it." And then they would call someone else. Every. Single. Time. Eventually, I stopped even looking up because I had completely lost hope. I could have brought a sleeping bag, a pillow, a Nintendo Switch, three meals, and a change of clothes, and I still probably would have had plenty of time to spare. At one point, I genuinely forgot why I was there. I started staring at the walls, reading every single sign in the office, looking at the eye charts, examining the fish tank--basically anything I could possibly do to entertain myself. I became more familiar with that waiting room than I am with my own house. If someone asked me where the bathroom was, what magazines they had, or what color the receptionist's chair was, I could have given them a full tour. And then, just when I thought surely I had been forgotten completely, they finally called me back. But even THAT wasn't the end of it. I thought getting called back meant the appointment was finally going to happen. Instead, I got brought into another room and proceeded to wait AGAIN. So apparently there was a waiting room inside the waiting room. It was like an eye-doctor-themed escape room where the objective was simply to see how long I could remain patient before losing my mind. By the time the actual doctor came in, I had aged approximately six years. I was no longer the same person who walked through those doors. I had experienced things. I had seen things. I had waited. And honestly, after all that time, I expected them to at least congratulate me for surviving the experience. The whole appointment probably took about 20 minutes once everything actually started, which somehow made the waiting even more ridiculous. I spent what felt like an entire geological era waiting for something that was over practically as soon as it began. I genuinely think I spent more time staring at the waiting room wall than I spent talking to the actual eye doctor. So yeah, overall, fantastic experience. Nothing says "we value your time" quite like making someone sit around long enough to reconsider every decision that led them to make the appointment in the first place. Next time I go to the eye doctor, I'm bringing snacks, a charger, a blanket, homework, and possibly a tent, because apparently I need to prepare for an overnight stay.

Dr. Frank's is da GOAT ! Music teacher here, with a…read moreconsiderable amount of astigmatism on both eyes. Additionally, I'm hard of hearing, so I not only rely on my vision to read music, but also to access everyday "aural" information. Dr. Franks is an amazingly patient doctor who truly goes above and beyond to correct and maximize your vision to its fullest potential. He keeps himself current with the latest about medical and optical tech and advancements and his practice is up to date! He doesn't just rely on solely the standard eye chart, he will try different lighting conditions and even suggest improvements to your visual environment so you can get the most out of your vision (or whatever remains of it). He is extremely knowledgeable and isn't afraid to explore alternatives to make sure you get the most out of your eyes, as well as from the glasses or contacts he recommends. His patience, attention to detail, and willingness to try different alternatives really set him apart. My family and I have been going to him for over a decade, and we continue to recommend him because of his expertise, deep knowledge, and genuine dedication to his patients (yes! you're a patient, not a client!). Dr. Franks is truly a hidden gem! if you need an eye doctor, or feel you could still see better, give him a try!

His Costco office opened in August and currently is open Tuesdays and Saturdays for now with plans to increase hours. I believe he is a provider independent of Costco and anyone can make an appointment to see Dr. Franks even if you do not have a Costco membership. As I do not have time during the week Saturday was perfect for me. Making an appointment was a piece of cake (same day! and walk ins welcome!) as Dr. Franks fit me right in. I've gotten my eye exams done in CA, FL, and NY now and my eye exam with Dr. Franks was the best, most thorough exam I've ever had. Although he was very thorough with my eye exam, he was also very efficient, quick and got me out in no time. You can tell he is very passionate and enthusiastic about his work and your eye health. With my Davis Vision VSP, eyeglasses exam was covered and only needed to pay $40 for my contact lens exam too. He recommended me some great new contacts lenses for my eyes and gave me samples to try on. He gave me the prescriptions for my eyeglasses as well as for my contacts. Also got some free travel size contact solutions to go! Dr. Franks is absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend him for eye exams! You won't regret it and will have clear vision!

I gave the optometrist my glasses and a prescription saying the glasses were perfect and I wasn't sure if the prescription was correct. He chose to fill the prescription. Needless-to say, it was incorrect. He blamed the writer of the prescription saying he was trying to trick me to have anyone else filling the prescription make the wrong glasses so that I would return to him. He then used my glasses to get a new prescription. The glasses he made caused me to see double. He again blamed the old optometrist. He had me come in to see his optometrist for a brand new prescription. I was kept waiting for over 45 minutes, during which time the client scheduled after me already entered. The doctor checked my eyes but "didn't bring his equipment to test for prisms" - the one problem that the glasses he gave me had. But he promised that for the next exam I would be his first patient. The next week I showed up and lo and behold the doctor was with another patient. He told me he didn't realize he promised me the first appointment and said "I guess I need a REAL appointment book". The glasses that were then made were still wrong and made me see double. He refused to refund my money and I am still waiting for a solution. When I originally ordered the glasses I called after over four weeks because I hadn't heard from them. I was told "The glasses are here but I don't know if they came back from the maker or weren't sent out yet. I'll call you tomorrow to let you know. Four days later I called him because I hadn't heard from them and was told - Oh yes, they're ready. I don't know why you weren't called.

The representative Michelle in particular lacks professionalism and courtesy. She started out defensive and unwilling to help me with a simple fix. The negative reviews are there for a reason. If they had negative stars I would have gave them -5 .Simple fix gone wrong. From making an appointment to getting service I would rate her poor at best. (Update more in-depth) After verbal gymnastics, complaining to corporate speaking with the manager Joanna who was upset that the interaction would be reviewed on social media , I was finally routed to the owner who seemed reserved at first but finally offered options which included paying for new frames at a discount of 65 percent off. I had the frames for 5 months and hoped that the small piece that fell off the frames near the temple could be put back on or solicit the manufacturer for new frames as this was a defective frame ( was not an option ) He did take a look and brought them to another location and as of this post fixed them. This simple fix could have been handled at counter person level but Michelle said that the person who fixes glasses if I left them has lost peoples glasses and despite not having a tech on site like many other eyeglass stores , he only worked on Tuesday and Thursday. I explained that I work during the week and she became increasingly nasty as I tried to find a solution and questioned how many glasses has the repair person lost. She said he takes them from the store and if I left them it would be at my own risk ( What!!) trying to get statistics as to what my outcome would be , I asked her could she leave them in the store for repair . She still continued to dissuade me from doing so. Finally I begged ( yes begged) for her to help me at which point she then agreed to put a note that said fix in store and to my surprise she was also working on the day the repair person would be there ( shut the front door!! ) Why not offer this as the first option. When I called Tuesday to see if they were ready I spoke to Brandy who said they were not ready , upon questioning her about frames being removed off site she said that rarely happens . (Not what Michelle said)- On Thursday I received a call and was explained that the small decorative piece by the temple that fell off the frame and allowed the arm to not jut out could not be fixed and they suggested I glue it on myself ( $500 dollar Marc Jacob frames ) 5 months later!!! , I was passed to the manager who was defensive and irritated - no brainer because--( she mentioned at one point at a previous appointment I had in conversation with her that she had a negative interaction with another customer and she wanted to throw down with her . huh! - first red flag - should have ran out the door then ) She then passed me to the owner Olec , I asked can we send them back to the manufacturer. The owner said they are not actually made by Marc Jacob but by a frame company that has the license for the right to ( huh! , Not original- Wow , okay ) In the end they are currently fixed ( which could have avoided this whole negative encounter ) and I pray that nothing else goes wrong or I'm out of choices because upon picking them up I once again had to deal with Michelle who an attitude handed me my glasses in the same not original case , smudged and dirty and with no one available to make any final adjustments ( not that I had someone to do any adjustments upon picking them up originally at point of purchase) and I told her that her customer service was not good towards me and she said neither was mine.( huh!) I said you're not a nice person to your customer and she said neither am I and called the Police. When the police got there I explained exactly what happened. They stood there shaking their heads as I explained my story and the amount I paid for a frame that was not original Even they could see as I explained the encounter that it was ridiculous and petty. I further explained that Michelle suggested at one point in our conversations that I stepped on them . The officers looked at me and my size and agreed if so the glasses would have been destroyed. My courteous well mannered demeanor was met with the worst feeling about doing business I've ever had. I feel completely humiliated and taken advantage of. Included is a photo of the glasses - please not the very tiny decorative silver piece at the temple, that is what fell off.

I had to wear my girlfriend's glasses to drive. I told the three receptionist (I'm not sure why there's three people there) that I had to wear her glasses. There was no comment made about me wearing her prescription lenses at that time. Anyways, I go to the back with the optician. When I come out of the optician, I saw my girlfriend very upset.
