My appt time was 9am however I work at the hospital and because of problems on getting out on time it's definitely my fault. But I did not deserve the punishment for the crime ! I walked in at 9:17am. Waited a few minutes for another customer at the desk. Gave my name and attendant screeched that I was a no show (hello I'm here)- and I could never. Ever go there again. And a "get out" cause I was late. Never been treated this rudely in my life. Just horrible. I feel just so gross after that encounter. Disgusting a business could have an employee act like that

We didn't know that we could get an eye exam at BJ's Wholesale Club in Hyannis, MA, and could be…read morebooked on line in a timely manner. So we scheduled our appointments online and we picked the times that worked for us and what was available. The equipment is used for the compressive eye exam is very modern and high tech. Everyone was very nice, friendly and professional. We would highly recommend using this service for your eye exam. There are special offers, and deals on glasses and contacts. The prices for contacts are the best we have found as well. The cost for the eye exam is very reasonable. They give you a copy of your RX for both glasses & contacts, you can purchase them there or where ever you choose to shop. Unlike our last eye doctor. So give them a try! You don't have to be a BJ's member to use this service. Overall it was a very nice experience.

The great deal that Visionworks has on glasses and frames for $69.95 is a SCAM! Of the over 4000…read moreframes in the showroom, one small kiosk holds all the frames that are eligible for the deal. Of those 70 or so frames, half of them cannot get the deal because there has to be a rim all the way around and the plastic lens will chip if it is rimless so you can't get the deal. So basically, if you like one of the 30 or so frames that actually apply to this deal, lucky you. The sign advertising this sale is on a 3 feet by 10 feet banner stretching across the whole office.

Having moved to the area recently, I reached out to this office, as it was located within LensCrafters, a custom I'm familiar with off-Cape. Since it was my primary visit with this practice, they took close a look at my retina and macula with an advanced Nikon mapping device, which avoided the need for eye dilation drops. They now have a history they can refer to during my next visit. The Dr. was patient with the process of optimizing my prescription. Although I haven't received my new glasses yet, I have confidence the prescription will be a welcome fine-tuning for these next few years. I would return to and recommend Dr. McQueen's practice for a very thorough exam and prescription.

I like Dr McQueen, enough to travel well out of my way to return to his office. I've been to see…read morehim three or four times for my eye exams and have always been pleased with the results. Initially I went to him a few years ago because I needed a new glasses prescription and his office was convenient at the time. I continue to visit him because I like the very thorough exam I receive from his friendly technician and him, the up-to-date equipment in his office (no dilated eyes!) including a magic laser exam that shows everything going on in your eyes! His office is located within the Lenscrafters at the euphemistically named "Festival Mall" right on Iyannough Road in Hyannis. You won't see the (strip) Mall from the street, and the office is at the entrance next to the Pier One, so plenty of close parking most days. What keeps me from giving 5-stars is the check in procedure, where the staff person recited my name, phone and full address loudly enough for another waiting patient to sit up and take notice, only to greet me by name when I sat down to wait. I would expect that while HIPPA rules may not apply to an eye exam, simple common sense would, and the staff could minimize the privacy invasion. Otherwise, pretty simple and polite check in and out. I'll be back.

At 11:15, when I had not been called in for a technician, I became concerned and went to the front desk to notify them that I had no communication regarding my appointment. A very kind and concerned OCB employee followed me to question a technician who had not received any information about my appointment and it was surmised that there had been a glitch in the system. I was told I could wait longer or reschedule, but a very sympathetic technician intervened and agreed to prepare me for my exam. Tayla Gimblett went out of her way and added to her already busy schedule to accommodate me. Tayla was professional and kind and she should be commended. My sincere thanks and appreciation go out to her!
