Impressed by my visit to Boots

Impressed by my visit to Boots, Queensgate, Peterborough today! Had a pre examination before meeting with the optician who was very kind and informative. I felt able to chat to her quite openly about any problems or queries that I had. The lady who helped me choose my new glasses was very helpful too and I’m looking forward to receiving them in a couple of weeks time. The people I dealt with were Maariya and Gillian.

A first class experience

A first class experience. Visited Boots opticians in Sunderland for a routine eye test.
A very warm greeting by Rob upon arriving in store. Rob took me through booking in and carrying out the initial tests including the enhanced retinal scan.
Handed over to Emily the Optician for the actual test itself, she kept me fully informed during the testing process, no rush, took the time to flick back and forth on different lens strengths during the test.
Emily possess an exemplary bedside manner.
Overall I was in the store for around 45 minutes and left feeling like a valued customer.
If Boots ever need a blueprint on how to successfully deliver enhanced customers satisfaction, look to Rob and Emily for some tips.

Seen the same day as enquiring over a sore eye after a contact lens split on me and went behind my eye, spoke with Charlotte who organised for me to be seen in the afternoon, went in, and the lens fracture was removed, comfy eye once again. Great staff all round.
SEE you all again soon. Darran

Visited boots opticians Solihull today because we were unsure if the new glasses we obtained one week earlier were correct. We were attended to by Meg who not only was extremely friendly but also very knowledgeable and explained to us about our new glasses. Meg also told us that they would like to give me a further eye test f o c to compare with the earlier one. No matter what the result they will make new lenses to all ow for a bit more distance clarity than the new glasses we had last week as they just don’t suit me . I couldn’t expect anymore from this charming . Friendly, girl called Meg she deserves a commendation for the manner in which she dealt with us . In particular as boots didn’t carry out the original eye test ,they simply made the glasses from the prescription we gave them .This is what customer service is all about fantastic thank you Meg for being such a great friendly assistant.

I would most certainly Recommend Boots Optician Services

I have Glaucoma my NHS eye care was recently given to Boots Kilmarnock initially I was not sure how this would work for me.
I attended my appointment yesterday I was welcomed by the receptionist there was a calm ambiance in the shop.
The Optometrist introduced himself and after taking some notes he explained the tests I would be having.
Any fears I had were absolutely gone. I want to thank everyone involved and look forward to my reviews for the future
