I paid in total $224 and the frame was ruined - see photo attached, with both sides of the frame being distinctively not round in shape. Just in case, I have another pair to compare with, so I am confident in saying that the frame was damaged by those who put the glasses in it. I am going to visit the place and see if they have any decency to acknowledge poor job and to return the money.

In a few months, they'll be moving to a new location, downtown Freehold near the American hotel.

I often literally coordinate my eyewear to my fashion. They make it affordable because they run specials. So they run specials, are they smooth sales people? Unequivocally, the answer is no. Several times I've looked at expensive glasses and if it doesn't look right, they'll tell you. Sometimes they sell me the more moderately priced frames. Who's ever heard of an honest sales person? Thank you Sean, Steve and the manager, Laurie. I've not used their current optometrist so I cannot say anything about him. I wish them continued success at the FRM location and look forward to seeing them again in their new downtown Freehold location.

The one time I go here they decided to charge me almost double what my copay is. I brought it up to the guy at the desk and he said "that's what we charge here." Um what? That's not how that works. Then he said "the full price of this visit is x amount of dollars, so you're still doing pretty good." Yea I'm good with going to a different doctor.

Today, I called a facility on behalf of a friend who doesn't speak English. She needed to make an…read moreappointment for her son, who also isn't fluent in English. Both are here legally and pay taxes--her son even works. The phone rang, and a man named "Stu" answered. I explained the situation, letting him know why I was calling and making the appointment for them. The moment he understood what I was saying, his entire demeanor shifted. His tone turned cold and condescending, and he asked, "How are we supposed to understand them then?" His attitude was palpable. He abruptly put me on hold. When he returned, he said there was an opening for next month, but his frustration was evident as he began asking for the boy's information. For some reason, he became flustered and placed me on hold again. This time, I was connected to a woman named Elise, and she was the complete opposite of Stu. Elise was kind, professional, and understanding. She took the information without any issue, wished me a good day, and even thanked me for calling. Her attitude was a breath of fresh air, but it made Stu's behavior stand out even more. I understand that tensions are high right now with the ongoing migration issues. I fully support efforts to secure our borders. However, that doesn't give anyone the right to mistreat others--especially those who are here legally. A simple, polite response like, "I'm sorry, we don't have anyone who speaks her language. Does she have someone who can interpret when she arrives?" would have been sufficient. Instead, Stu seemed determined to create a problem where there didn't need to be one. I can't shake the feeling that his behavior stemmed from a deeper, racial issue. At the very least, it was a blatant lack of respect and professionalism. Next month, we'll be seeing Stu in person. I can only hope the facility addresses his attitude before then. Everyone deserves to be treated with basic human decency--no matter their background.

Dr Goldberg is an excellent eye doctor: caring, extremely knowledgable, thorough and and keeps in close contact with my retina specialist in terms of any updates, concerns and/or findings. Stewart, as well, is excellent in terms of assisting you with selecting the best frame and lenses for your needs. Further, making sure the lens is cut correctly and that the frames are fitted correctly as well. The staff as well, is always pleasant, helpful, and knowledgable in addressing insurance coverage. Although one usually gets eye glasses every 1-2 years, it's always a great experience. This location may not have the wide selection as Manalapan, however I've always found a frame that perfectly fits my needs and their service is excellent. Highly recommended.

I had the most negative experience with Jaime Costello of Clarkson Eyecare. I have never received…read moresuch unprofessional and inadequate care in all the years that I have been seeing an eye professional. I was referred to this practice by my husband. He gave the practice a great review. He, however, was seen by John Costello, not Jamie. I am a healthcare provider and have always introduced myself as I enter the patient's room. I had to guess if this was the technician or the provider until I asked who she was. After determining that she was the provider, Jamie launched into monologue (not dialogue) about how I was misdiagnosed by my long-time eye care professional about my dominant eye. She indicated to me that not only was I misdiagnosed, but the contacts that I was wearing were the wrong prescription. I had to stop her monologue and state that I had not experienced any vision problems with my current contact lens prescription. She was insistent that I needed to have the power and dominance changed and proceeded to give me a new pair of contacts. This was after I told her repeatedly that I was there for an annual eye exam, not a contact lens consult. Much against my better judgement, I put the new contacts in. I could not see anything but a blur. I must have stressed this to Jamie many times after putting the newer prescription lens in. My voice was never acknowledged. Jamie said I would have to get used to them and stated further that I shouldn't drive a car for a few days. What kind of professional advice is that?!!!! Jamie then proceeded to state that " I want to dilate your eyes today, but I won't." Again, what professional says that?!!! I indicated that I had hypertension and as a standard, had annual dilatation to exam the vessels in my eyes. It is a standard of care that patients with hypertension have a dilated eye exam annually. Patients are entitled to this standard of care!! In all, the exam took 20 minutes. As a healthcare provider I spend at least 30 minutes with a new patient. The ingredients that were missed with Jamie were failure to perform a comprehensive, quality eye exam for baseline data, failure to obtain a subjective history, dispensing a prescription without clinical indications. I have no recourse but to report Jamie to the Board of Examiners of Ophthalmic Dispensers and Ophthalmic Technicians. Jamie needs to review standard principles of a comprehensive eye exam as well as taking a course in public relations. The frightening part of this is how many times has this inadequate care been going on for. How many times has Jamie dismissed a patient's concerns or not completed a comprehensive eye exam? This represents a huge problem for senior citizens who lack a working knowledge of the standards of eye care. I was then verbally humiliated because Jamie could not believe that I did not have a pair of glasses. She stated, " I can't believe that you don't own a pair of glasses." I thought to myself, what if I can't afford a pair of glasses? I was then ushered to the front of the office where I was met by Jill. I was pressured into exploring the progressive lens option despite my repeatedly stating that I had tried them in the past and they were not an option for me. At this point all I wanted to do was leave and get home to remove the contacts that Jamie had insisted on giving me. I called the office later that same day and spoke with the practice manager Dana. I relayed my negative experience about the visit to her and requested that I be given a refund since the care was not what I made the appointment for. She offered an appointment with John Costello. I declined this quite out of concern that my eye care needs would be incomplete and not comprehensive. Again, I will be sending an official complaint to the certifying organization for failure to perform a comprehensive/quality eye exam for baseline data, failure to obtain a subjective history, and dispensing a prescription without clinical indications. I strongly urge the public to read this review and find another eye care provider. I needed to give a star rating, I was forced to give a 1 star. I should have been a negative 5 star !

I called this morning and was able to get an appointment for later on in the day. perfect. They sent me a link for paperwork via text message, filled it out took all of 5 minutes. Awesomeness. I arrive and receptionist goes over paperwork I sent back. I sit and wait for a few minutes. The tech set me up with some eye charts and machine etc. Then I went to see Dr. Greenfield who is absolutely the sweetest, kindest professional person I ever met. We talked bout my last visit to eye dr.s, which I guiltily admitted it had been way too long. She put my head in the machine and away she went with her stuff. We talked for a bit, said my eyes weren't that bad just needed to kick up the script a notch and I was done. Easy peasy. Now settled the bill and got my script to go over to the actual eyeglass people. All I wanted to do was keep my frames and replace the script in the lenses. Unfortunately the machine was done. ok..so She made a copy of my script and took my name n number to call me when the machine is back to working. Now it's just hurry up and wait...All in all the doctor portion was awesome, having a machine down, that took a star away. Anyway definitely a worthy check in to see Dr. Greenfield.

Dr. Roth didn't answer any of my questions, and seemed to be following a checklist. He pushed the eye device into my face rather hard, hard enough where it hurt when it impacted my forehead. My eye pressure was high--something that should not have been overlooked--but Dr. Roth failed to even notice it. After I brought it up, he quickly dismissed it, saying he'd "take care of it" as he rushed me out. Take care of it when? That kind of neglect is unacceptable. I literally have to go to a different doctor to redo the exam because this guy was so incompetent. This is not to mention that I was initially told vision therapy would be covered by my insurance, and then told the first part would be $1400 not covered by any insurance. He wouldn't tell me the cost of the next part nor would he tell me what was involved. Please don't go here - you deserve better.
