They fixed me up in no time! In both cases, we found a pair we liked but wanted a different color. They pulled up the options and we both ordered a different color to try. Took about a week for them to come in, no obligations to try. I'm all for supporting small businesses and this one definitely knocked it out of the park!

my experience was just as awful as MattS and Anna and all the other bad reviews…read more first i want to respond to Matt's experience. I was an optician for years. i was TAUGHT to spend as little time as possible with the people that come in on welfare or use Apple insurance, in other words , where the state pays for their glasses. When i dispensed my first pair of " WELFARE GLASSES" - I did it just as you would with ANY OTHER PATIENT. say hi, greet them with a smile , have them sit at the dispensing table, ask their name and get their glasses. have the patient put them on, and then fit them. so they stay up on their face. so they are comfortable. i always try to make sure my patients had fun. I MADE THE EXPERIENCE FUN. AS much fun as getting glasses can be. i did it with a smile. i adjusted them so they fit comfortable and gave him a case and a cleaning cloth. when I was done with my first "welfare patient" , my boss pulled me aside and explainexd to me not to spend any extra time with THOSE KINDS OF PEOPLE. just give them the glasses. when I asked why he said- "because we don't make any money off THOSE PEOPLE, so don't spend any extra time on them." yep. AND I heard this more than once in my 20 years as an optician! thankfully not all places act like this. TODD place DOES. he is listed as the owner. he doesn't have to treat people this way . he chooses too. it's not a LAW or even a POLICY that you cant be nice to EVERYONE. no one says you HAVE TO BE RUDE to welfare patients. that wasn't part of my testing to become an optician. Todd's behavior was BLATANTLY RUDE. HE went out of his way to be AS LAZY AND RUDE AS HE COULD. when we walked into pick up my nephews glasses, TODD recognized my nephew. he grabbed the tray of glasses and tossed them at him on the table at him. he knew what he was doing. i don't think he knew- I knew what he was doing tho. i know. i see you Todd. he did as much as he could to make this an unpleasant experience for everyone there. i had some questions to ask about various hi index lenses, but he would only gIVE me some of the info, not all of it. he kept cutting me off. so I had to keep dragging the answer out of him. one question at a time. again, he knew what he was doing. he was being as unhelpful as he could. that's when he started arguing with me. when I said that I'd heard about him and his behavior already, he started getting even LOUDER. HE KNOWS. then he started talking over me. he was just short of shouting at me. i really was blown away. and I said I can't BELIEVE , YOU ARE GOING TO YELL AT A CUSTOMER. ARE YOU KIDDING ME ??? this guy is ARROGANT and RUDE. HE THINKS HE IS BETTER than these people that are on welfare. he makes it very obvious that he feels this way. I've seen it before. here's the thing TODD, you don't know why these people are on welfare and it's really NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. IT CERTAINLY ISNT YOUR PLACE TO JUDGE THEM! who do you think you are ???? you know nothing about them. one of my patients was an MIT GRADUATE, but suffered a stroke at the age 25, he'd been school mates with the KOCK BROTHERS. At MIT. his life was totally derailed by an unexpected stroke. some of my patients were born with neurological injuries, due to the fault of the doctors. some were paraplegics from sports injuries. these people aren't losers. these are people that are struggling in this life. the last thing they deserve is to be mis treated. i saw you do the same thing to a little girl when you dispensed her glasses. they were OBVIOUSLY TO BIG. she going to spend more time pushing them up becuase they are to big and lose than she will spend time looking through them. you adjust them. you can't just ask someone if they fit. you need to LOOK. you need to see. when they are just standing there in the office, doing nothing, of course they fit. it was like you don't want to touch these people. your behavior and the way you treated us today, tells me what kind of person you are. rude. small minded. seriously TODD, WHO CARES if they are on welfare. who cares if the state pays for their glasses. WHO CARES !!! how does that affect your life at all? It Doesn't. you still get paid. change your perspective dude! you never know how life is going to turn out for you. your life can change in a SECOND due to no fault of your own. obviously you have a problem. many other people had the same problem with you. your the common denominator here. be nice. don't try to justify this. that just looks even worse. it would just prove my point even more.

I also went because I had dry eyes and she looked at my eyes, had me blink, and told me about a treatment they offer (not covered by insurance). I said I would think about it and went home with instructions for home care, recommended eye drops and antibacterial eye wipes, and a follow up appointment. At the follow up, Dr. Walker put in eyedrops to check my tear film, examined my eyes, and told me about their treatment offering. I asked if the home therapy had been helping and she replied that she didn't know, she had not put in the drops last time. Since I thought the purpose of the follow up was to see how the home treatment was going, I left a bit surprised. Please note that 3 stars isn't bad. Yelp defines 3 stars as "ok."

Don't shop at a boutique eyeglass store if you're hung up on prices because the odds are your insurance won't cover the costs. However, if you don't want to look like every other chucklehead out there wearing Warby Parker plastic trash (that still costs around $400-500 with single-vision lenses) ... Colaizzo will be your sweet spot. This shop is under new ownership, the original owner retired after decades in business. Both myself and my girfriend received superb service from Bill and we both highly recommend their attention to detail and frame options. Shop around and you'll find that their pricing is in line with any other shop in the city. The difference is that their styles are unique, even amongst their competing boutique eyeglass stores. My head is narrow and I have a very difficult time finding eyeglasses that fit my face. Normally, I might find one or two pairs that fit OK. At Colaizzo, I found six pairs, in different styles and shapes, that fit my face beautifully, along with a handful more that were acceptable. They will be getting more of my business.
