Check in was easy and efficient and handled with care by the pleasant young lady at the desk. She seemed to be a great multi-tasker. The tech that guided me through all the preliminary exams was through and explained everything. He was very helpful. My actual exam with Dr Renee was quite informative and I found out I have a freckle on my eye, she was quick to explain what measures were required for treatment. Dr Pogrebneak made me feel at ease with this non threatening freckle but guided me to a specialist just to be sure. Her "bedside" manner was pleasant and detailed. Took her time with my eye clarity so that I could get the perfect prescription. She turned me loose to get fitted for glasses and sunglasses. The tech, again I apologize for forgetting her name, had a Pleasant disposition and again took her time with my fittings. Glasses are not inexpensive so I appreciate the time they spent, making sure everything went smoothly. Can't wait for my new glasses!!

I've been a patient of Halpern since 1998. I was referred there by my father who has been a patient…read morewith them since before I was born. I've always had nothing but good things to say about them which is why I was so surprised that my wife recently had a less than ideal experience there. Despite this fact, as you can see from my 5 star rating, this story has a happy ending :) I recently bought prescription Ray-Bans from them and was surprised how inexpensive they were after all insurance and discounts were applied. My wife drives a lot for her work so a good pair of sunglasses is a must. She recently has had issues with her contacts so she no longer can wear plain sunglasses. I was so pleased with how cheap and easy it was to get my prescription sunglasses, I didn't hesitate to refer her to Halpern. She met with the optometrist and selected a pair of glasses, but was shocked to find that they were FOUR TIMES higher than what I paid. When she asked why they were so much, she couldn't really get a clear answer, but they said they would call her back. That call back never came. I called them yesterday to ask why hers were more. As it turns out, her glasses were far nicer than mine. My wife is frugal to a fault. I know that she would never spring for anything more than the basics. She even was hesitant about getting them in the first place. According to my wife, these so called "options" were not presented as such. It's every customers nightmare to be fast talked by a slick sales person and that's exactly how this transaction felt. I went to Halpern's website fearing I would have to fight through hordes of employees until I could get to someone who could help me. Imagine my surprise when I found a link for their patient advocate right on their home page. It became immediately clear to me when speaking with the Patient care advocate Beverly that she was passionate about what she did. She listened very well and took the time to ask questions to confirm her understanding. She informed me that she would need to do some research into what solution she could offer me. I felt that a full refund of the add on options would be right because if they had ever called her back, my wife could have cancelled them. Now that the glasses are done, cancellation was not an option. Beverly agreed with me on this point and the add on options that my wife did not want were refunded to our card! I realize that no one is perfect, and mistakes happen. One of the things that separates good companies from great companies is how they respond to customer complaints. This experience has cemented my belief that Halpern truly is a GREAT company. If they continue to treat their loyal customers as good as me, I predict great things in their future.
