After having a negative experience with an eye doctor at one of the large chains, I asked my…read morefriends which optomitrist they would recommend in the Syracuse area. Krzyzak Eyecare was recommended more than anyone else, so I decided to give them a try, and I'm very happy that I did. It did take a few months to get in there initially, so if you are reading this and thinking about schedueling an appointment, plan accordingly. While I usually hate waiting, I considered this to be a good sign that people are happy here and that I was making a good choice. For my exam, I met with Dr. Michael Krzyzak, who I felt was very personable and did an excellent job explaining what he was doing and what the best options were for my situation. After the exam I met with the absolutely wonderful Alicia, who helped me pick out my new frames and was very thorough in making sure that she had the perfect measurements for my new progressive lenses. When someone knows what they are doing like she did, it adds a whole new level of value to buying your glasses in house, rather than online. And when I came back to pick up my new glasses, she made me feel like a VIP even though I am new to the practice. The whole experience was everything that I could have asked for and I'm so grateful to have found an eyecare team that I have complete confidence in and will now stick with.

I have been here twice. The first visit was with Dr Wells and the second with Michael Krzyzak. Both…read morevisits were a great experience. Both doctors took the time to explain things so that I understood my eyes, issues, etc... versus my prior eye doctor who would say, "you have astigmatism". With no further explanation. I appreciated the time spent with me and taken to confirm that I had no further questions. I did not feel rushed at any time. The optician who assisted with my contacts was also very nice and patient - if you haven't worn contacts, what a task learning to put them in and out! You've been warned! She was encouraging and never made me feel rushed. They've got a new patient to add to their roster and I would encourage anyone I know to go there too.

After cataract surgery my eyeglass script needed to be changed. I gave my frames to them to send…read moreout for new script to be installed. They told me approximately 2 weeks. I called after 2 weeks and they we not in. I called a few days later, still not in. they kept telling me they didn't know why they we not in. All I kept getting was NO ANSWERS!! I asked why didn't they call their vendor. 4 weeks later glasses came in I opened the glass case put a soft cloth on them to clean and the frames broke in my hand. I will never go back to these Jokers again. There are many good eye care places in our area, this is not one of them!!

I went in today to have a regular eye exam. The doctor said my eyes didn't change very much at all…read moreand I said well you know I usually wear my contacts so he looked in my file and said well your contact prescription is pretty much the same. Do you want to order some contacts? I said sure. So I got to the desk to check out and the woman behind the desk said we will bill your insurance company but today you need to pay $59.99 for a contact exam. I told her I did not have a contact exam and she said well you did and you are being charged for it. I said the contact exam is a different exam. I asked her to get the doctor and she refused!!!!! I had only one exam for my regular eyesight. She proceeded to tell me if I order contacts I gotta pay for an exam. I told her I'm not paying for any exam nor do I want any contacts. The doctor is great, but I do not appreciate trying to be ripped off for a charge for a service that I did not receive. I will never go back there again.

This is a very different kind of practice review!…read more 1) First of all, it has stood the test of time -- my opinions have not changed, other than to reflect the positive movement over time as I have adjusted to bi-lateral cataract surgery. You might take some significant positivity from the simple fact that after slightly more than a year from my last visit to the office, I remember the people's names below. 2) I happen to be DEAF -- this means that my EYES are significantly more important to me than they are for hearing people. I NEVER TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED! Any impairment of my eyesight has a super major impact upon my life and my abilities to react with the world around me. My eyes ARE my ears also!! 3) In general, this practice distinguishes itself from others, including hospital based practices, for exceptionally strong, people oriented, very friendly and genuinely caring STAFF! Lets start with the font desk, LAURA -- she's a gem! The paperwork can be confusing, she takes care of ANY problems so that they never crop up again! She's vivacious and always had a personal comment to make the visit pleasant and actually enjoyable. Allen -- he's definitely a plus on the office and technical side of the practice! He manages very complex scheduling needs, and manages to rearrange appointments when sudden impact events require changes!! He's also very adept with some of the technical testing machines as well!! He's a very positive guy. Sam -- he's the chief technician in the office. Sam manages to be super efficient, while being genuinely friendly and open and encourages engagement with his patients. Never fear asking Sam questions! If he cannot answer, he certainly knows who can -- and I suspect he tips 'em off because these others lead their arrival in the exam room with the answers!! This is a major plus for the practice! Amanda -- she's a part of the technical staff, and closing in on Allen and Sam in terms of her abilities. The medical staff I interacted with were Drs. Stewart, Dexter and Heater: Dr. Stewart is a world renown eye surgeon famous for his work with Lions International, the group that referred me to Eye Surgeons of CNY when another practice seriously dropped the ball. This is one busy physician!! Still, he found the time to meet me during my first visit and got to know me a bit -- which honestly, was not expected! It DEFINITELY was appreciated! Dr. Dexter is the most active surgeon in the practice. He's friendly, engaging, and actually manages to remember personal details from conversations not part of the patient chart!! Outstanding!! This man is tops in his field -- and gave me corrections BETTER than 20/20 which have held. I'm in awe of what I can see, which is significantly better than I had been expecting. Dr. Heater is the practice's Doctor of Optometry. She participates in the pre and post surgical evaluations. Dr. Heater is vivacious, efficient, and very effective with what she does!

An hour round trip drive and got there to find out the order was wrong and the glasses he ordered were ones we eliminated as options and not what I even chose the day before. The woman "helping" was the rudest, condescending, uncaring horrible person. She blatantly told me the things Steve told me to help make decisions about frames weren't true and did nothing to help in the selection process but then provided no useful information to help either. She was disrespectful and unprofessional. Don't be taken by the slick sales and poor customer service.

I walked into the hospital for a CAT scan and immediately received the procedure. My insurance became active three weeks later and the three visits with Dr. Migliaccio prior to this were NO CHARGE.

I am privileged to know him and entrust my complicated eye care to him with no reservations. Don't forget to thank those who care for you medically and leave good reviews when deserved. Thank you's are far and few between for them. "Thank you, Dr. Migliaccio!"
