Disappointing first impression
This was my first visit to Stanton Optical in Mishawaka, Indiana and it couldn’t have been a more disappointing experience. While most of the staff were professional and pleasant, Dr. Anthony Gish was the complete opposite. He came across as short-tempered, unprofessional, a man-child who is unable to regulate his emotions.
He expressed irritation about a staff member to me, which was completely inappropriate. When I asked a simple question to clarify my prescription, he responded in a dismissive and irritated tone, as if my question was challenging his expertise.
At one point, while I was being helped by Kristen with ordering my frames, he interrupted and demanded to speak with her immediately, pulling her away mid-conversation. There was no regard for the fact that she was actively assisting a patient.
His behavior created an uncomfortable and tense environment throughout my visit. Quite frankly, his lack of professionalism and inability to maintain his composure makes him ill-suited for a role that requires direct interaction with patients.

"same day glasses". Interesting.
I can never get glasses the same day. Branded largely on the building but I've never had it and that bothers me a lot. So much that I won't be coming back. Taking my prescription to a different provider. Thanks for the glasses next week.

The entire experience
The entire experience. Everything seemed to go wrong from the beginning. They called to move our appt to an earlier time. Left work just for them to be running almost an hour behind. Bad exam, employee was clearly in a hurry and flipped through lenses so quick that I could not tell the difference. At times the lens did not even open. Ended up with wrong prescription and couldn’t see. Had to make second appt to have it corrected. When I arrived I was told I shouldn’t have made the appt on line because I needed to see the eye Dr. totally disappointed.
