I have purchased 2 pairs of glasses, on separate occasions from Professional Optical and am very happy. The optician spent time with me to ensure I would have glasses to meet my needs as well as look great. Both Karen and Stephanie are knowledgeable and friendly. My first purchase, I picked up and it was fitted to perfection. However, because of my extreme mobility issues, I had the second pair mailed to me. Naturally, a small business is a bit more pricey than the large budget chains, but they have glasses in a variety of price ranges. Because I do not have eye insurance, I received an "uninsured" discount that I appreciated. I will absolutely shop with them again.

I will definitely come here next time and highly recommend them. They have an amazing selection of beautiful frames to choose from and the service can't be beat!

We loved the convenient location with plenty of free parking. My husband made his exam appointment on line. We were warmly greeted and he was quickly seen by the optometrist. He received a thorough exam and said that Dr. Shinner's patient rapport was refreshing. The selection process was easy due to excellent service by Vicki and Charity, two experienced, knowledgeable and friendly associates. There was ample selection for different sizes ... narrow, too. Good value with fair pricing. We left feeling satisfied. Go!

If I could leave 0 stars, I would. I came in because there was mold between the metal & plastic…read moreportion of my eye glasses. The "eye doctor" immediately told me it was not mold and due to the "nickel" on the rims of my glasses having a reaction with my skin oils. First of all, I looked up the product information and my glasses are made with stainless steel, not nickel. Second of all, I work in construction and neither nickel or stainless steel has strong discoloration oxidation reactions to "skin oils". I checked this factually with AI as well, because even though I have extensive knowledge of metal materials, I wanted to ensure accuracy. The "eye doctor" immediately got an attitude when I informed him these glasses were not made with nickel and told me he "had been doing this for 36 years" so he knew what he was talking about. Even when I showed him the product data showing they are made with stainless steel. The "eye doctor" took my glasses back to their "sonic cleaner" and dropped the unclean glasses in front of me and walked off. He did not even clean the mold/dirt on the nose pieces. And apparently no one else in the facility is "qualified to clean the nose pieces". So I left with my glasses uncleaned and mold visible on the nose pieces. These people were 0 help and had 0 product knowledge.
