In 2028 my wife I and each bought one pair of frames, lenses, and clip-on sunglasses from the store…read morein Forest Acres, and then a couple of years later we updated the lenses. Our first sets of frames and lenses were fine, even though my clip-ons were too difficult to put on while driving. The service was fine. However, when I updated my lenses, I got the lousiest lenses I've ever bought. The expensive coating began to scratch and peel within 4 or 5 months. This was during the pandemic, so I didn't really have any recourse. I'll not buy light-changing lenses ever again. Today my wife went in for a replacement of her magnetic clip-ons and they told her they had no record of her buying them there. We haven't shopped for glasses anywhere else since 2018. They suggested my wife forgot that she bought them where we get our exams. It was all on my wife, not on the store. We failed as customers. The clerk was very pleasant and responsive, but the manager couldn't have been less interested. She wasn't curt; she just didn't care. We'll not be going back.

I'm not taking it down entirely because they couldn't explain why their prescription was so different from Lenscrafters.

I have been wearing contacts and glasses since I was a teenager. That being said, yearly eye exams…read morehave always been something that I have had to do. This was my first visit to America's Best - the name definitely doesn't match the experience. This is like the bus depot of eye exam places. Nothing about this place is nice. My day started by checking in with the front desk for my appointment, and this very disorganized lady acted like I was speaking Swahili. I had to repeat my appointment time 3 times, and follow her to two different computers. I then sat on a nasty metal bench in a bus depot style waiting area, then got put through a few automated tests in a bare room with someone that didn't seem very competent. I then went back out to the bus depot waiting area, and the doctor called me into a room. He didn't even dilate my eyes - despite me being prepared and accustomed to that procedure. This was a big red flag to me. Back to the bus depot waiting area, I then got called to the optical store area for a pretty heavy sales pitch from the eyeglass salesman. It was very clear he had a quota to hit, and saw me as his next target. I ultimately ended up buying glasses from him, but it was probably the heaviest sales pitch I've ever received for something so necessary. The funny thing about all of this is that I never saw anyone wash their hands, or introduce themselves. This place makes money by moving as many people as possible through the system. Overall, I will not be back to America's Best in the future. There are much better and nicer offices in Columbia.

Staff was unfriendly and Dr. Broussard was probably the most gruff medical professional I have ever met in my life. When I scheduled my appointment, I made it clear I wanted both a glasses and contact exam. I got into her office for the exam and told her this. She was apparently unaware, and bluntly told me that it was going to be an additional $50 for the contact exam, which is silly because anyone with a good job has eye insurance. Staff could not recommend specific contact lenses to me, and eventually became frustrated when I was asking questions about specific lenses.

After the exam, I was charged an additional $40 for "new imaging" instead of dilation. The doctor mentioned this technology but did not disclose that it would cost extra. That is not acceptable. Patients should be clearly informed of any additional charges before services are performed. When I raised the issue, staff did not provide a clear explanation or attempt to address the concern. This was not transparent and did not meet basic expectations for patient communication. I would not recommend this office based on this experience.
