Good service is the star here. My first visit several months ago was a bit disappointing, but the…read moreowner, Carol, made sure I was satisfied in the end and has since never failed me. Most recently, I had an I-need-my-contacts-refilled-now kinda emergency. I called Carol around 530 on a Tuesday evening and my contacts were waiting for me on Wednesday when I got off work. Unimpressed? Well my eyeballs were apparently manufactured by gypsies with the help of Stevie Wonder and some side consultation by Ray Charles, so my eyesight is not average. I always have to have custom lenses and always have to wait days or weeks to get them. I can't simply waltz into an eye care place and scoop up a few pairs, know what I mean? I don't know what voodoo magic Carol called on, but getting my custom lenses the next day is unheard of in my experience...and much appreciated. So thanks to her and her staff I'm able to see crystal clear enough to pen this here review. Thank you and you're welcome.

I was able to get a same day appointment when I called, which was surprising but very much appreciated. I saw Dr Bartek. She was great! Very personable, listened to everything I mentioned. She also was very informative. When it came time to look at frames, the woman who helped me got many options for me to try. She gave me her honest opinion on which looked best. Pricing for glasses, contacts and the exam was broken down and explained in detail. I had an awesome experience from start to finish.

The staff was professional from the moment I walked in to the end of the visit. I was promptly greeted with a smile, given easy forms to sign, and seen by Dr. Roshnee Patel within ten minutes. The store is very clean, dust free, and sanitizer is readily available throughout. Dr. Patel was very warm, welcoming and so down to earth. Just from her warm smile greeting, Dr. Patel immediately made me feel comfortable. She took her time with the exam, explaining things as she went. She answered my questions and concerns with care. She eased my mind. She never rushed me through the exam. More importantly, the exam went well and I was confident that I (finally) received an accurate lens prescription. Via lens scan, she confirmed my suspicion that one of the lenses in my existing-old prescription from a different chain wasn't accurate. Her staff helped me select new frames based on what style I liked. Then, I was encouraged to browse on my own without the hovering nor upsell pressure. I found a great pair of frames in a style I hadn't considered before. There are many designer frames here: Versace, Michael Kors, etc. Later, I saw that the frames sold here are current designs and sold very close to retail price. The frames that I chose were just five dollars more than the manufacturer's website. If I could change anything, I would suggest that the thermostat be adjusted as needed. It was an unseasonally warm day, and it was very warm inside the building. Overall, this was my first time ever using Pearl Vision and Dr. Patel and her staff left a great impression. They've restored my faith in physicians and I will make this my permanent place for glasses.

And Harry found a spec in my new lens unable to see by a human eye and wanted to make it right so he had new lenses made. The honesty this man provided was overwhelming!

They have a new doctor in now since my last visit, a very friendly guy, Dr. Dabrowski. Funny and genuinely interested in how you're doing.

The staff again were so accommodating to my needs in getting the contacts I needed and choosing a great Michael Kors frame. The selection they have is phenomenal, always up to date with the latest trends.

He insisted that I find him an opthalmologist and schedule an appointment. Thanks to Yelp's directory, I was able to find Dr. John Marchon in our area. When I called his office at 10a this morning, Maryann answered the phone. She is extremely pleasant and articulate. I told her about my dad. She apologized for the ophthalmologist being out of the office. Maryann assured me she would speak with him and call me back with his recommendation as soon as possible. Within an hour, I was on the phone with her with instructions from Dr. Marchon. My dad went to the ER at St. Alexius Brothers. The ER Physician was able to diagnose and treat the eye injury. My dad is home without needing to make a follow up appointment with the referring ophthalmologist. Everyone in my family and relatives all stereotypically wear glasses, have had Lasik surgery or use contacts. We're getting up there in age for risk of eye disease. St. Alexius Brothers Hospital is in close proximity to most of us. If any of us ever needs to see an ophthalmologist, Maryann is the person I'm going to say to call first.

He is one of the most brilliant minds in the country; it seems almost bizarre that such an expert is practicing in Hoffman Estates.

He's perfectly down to earth: conversational, funny, full of stories. . . it puts a patient right at ease! Heck, I would like to take the guy out to lunch and listen to him chat for an hour. Unlike almost every other doctor I've ever met, he didn't have one hand on the doorknob and a "please shut up" look in his eye throughout the visit. He seemed to have abundant time and patience. He performed an in-office procedure on my eyelid. He explained every detail thoroughly and executed the little surgery with great skill, an A+ experience in every way.

I recently had an issue with dry eye syndrome and she recommended an alternative treatment vs getting on prescription drugs first. To my surprise the Eye treatment that was provided for me helped as well as the eye supplements she has. I was able to use my flex savings account money for them so that was a bonus for me. Like all other doctors offices, you must be proactive and ask questions. if prices are concerned then speak up or ask before hand as they won't work with you in terms of payments. She will take the time to explain and offer her suggestions. She believes in continue education and explains things to you in terms that you can understand. which means she has good bedside manners. So if you want to get cheap services and cheap eyeglasses then go to the local optical chain stores around the area. But if you want to build a relationship with your eye doctor and your eyes are very important to you, then take the time to get to know her and the staff.

I've expressed my vision is affecting my work and I need a reexam. I ask that someone call me but I just receive texts that show they are not listening to my issues. My family will not return. I cancelled my follow up appointment. They asked no questions as to why or how they can help.
