"I am very disappointed with my experience here. When I called the office beforehand, I asked specific questions, but the information provided was not clear. I was told that if I purchased two pairs of glasses, the eye exam would be free. However, they failed to mention that the doctor's fee was completely separate and charged individually.
I felt misled, pressured to make a purchase, and deceived by this lack of transparency. It felt more like a sales tactic to push two pairs of glasses rather than honest patient care. I do not recommend this place due to their misleading communication."
