Worst service ever
Worst service ever! 2 visits countless calls and still don’t have contact or even a prescription o can see out of. They filed the visit on my insurance so now I’m screwed for a year unless I pay out of pocket for a visit at a GOOD eye doctor.

Hello Deena.

We also appreciate you recognizing our team’s service and value, and we’re glad to hear you found both the staff and pricing to be a positive part of your experience. We'll be escalating this internally to ensure it's thoroughly reviewed. We appreciate your feedback

The eye exam should be done by an optometrist in person as the prescription is no better than last year’s. The frames also don’t fit well. Staff is helpful, kind, and professional.

Everything was great with the people that helped me. The problem was I had to wait on a week to get glasses. Not same day ! Said machine was down. Had to get them from another store. I tell everyone about Stanton glasses and service. I would have went to another place to get glasses if I know. I was gonna have to wait. That has always been a selling point for me and others.

Did a good job but we're a little short handed in the office. There was an extended wait period because of only one person fitting glasses.

I just like that I was in and out pretty quickly. There was no technical difficulties, and everyone was kind. This was my very first appointment, so it did take a little while, but it was good. I’d definitely go back.

Lori was top notch
Lori was top notch. She helped me with lens selection etc and guided me through checking out. She also made sure my glasses fit correctly when I picked them up. Staff was friendly and wait time was reasonable as well as a wide selection of frames to fit any budget. I high recommend 🙂

Getting my contacts took almost 2 months, and communicating was a nightmare. Just trying to get through to the store was a hassle. I waited until I got my last final box to do a review. We will not be returning. Thank you.
