The optician was kind and professional…

The optician was kind and professional throughout the appointment. He was thorough when carrying out the checks, gentle and attentive when answering questions, and addressed all of my concerns.

All staff were professional and helpful.

I would happily use Bayfields Opticians again.

Excellent eye care

As always, my experience of the service at Bayfields in Welwyn Garden City was excellent.
The staff show true professionalism, kindness and care.
David has supported my eye health for several years now and I can honestly say that my eyesight has never been so good.

The detailed eye examination

The detailed eye examination, and scan ...all carefully explained in detail by David , positive advice given and the knowledge that I am welcome to return at any time should I have problems with my sight or my glasses. A lovely welcome when I arrived and even the offer of coffee whilst waiting for my appointment (I was early !!) I have used Bayfields for many years, as have my family, and would not go elsewhere.

I would recommend this branch to all. The service was excellent from the receptionist and the optionist that I was seen by Rishi is superb. Many thanks for the treatment I received.

Disregard patient’s time.

I booked a £77 eye test for 9:40 AM this morning at Welwyn Garden and was asked to arrive by 9:30 AM. I even received an email from Bayfields reminding me about the challenges of a "hectic life" and stressing the importance of being on time. Ironically, it seems Bayfields themselves found managing their own diary too much of a "challenge."
I arrived promptly at 9:30 AM. I was asked to wait, but after waiting with no updates, I checked with the reception staff. It was only then that I was informed the optician couldn’t see me until sometime after 10am.

A disregard for patient's time. A simple call or email would have allowed me to reschedule without making a completely wasted trip. Given their own reminders about timeliness, their failure to manage their own schedule and inform patients is unacceptable. This was a complete waste of my entire morning and seemingly everyone else waiting there.

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, it’s not the level of service we aim to provide. The optometrist was running around 10 minutes behind due to an unexpected emergency appointment, but we completely understand how frustrating delays can be.

Our team has already tried to get in touch and left you a voicemail. We’d truly appreciate the chance to make this right, and would like to offer you a complimentary eye test as a gesture of goodwill.

We hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to look after you.

regret that your appointment did not start on time and the inconvenience this caused. We understand your frustration with the wasted trip and the impact on your morning. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We will review our scheduling process to prevent this from happening again.

Great customer service

Experience was good,we move away from a famous optician following poor customer care. We felt our custom with Bayfield was valued and important.

Personal friendly service

Lovely helpful knowledgeable staff. Makes it an enjoyable experience. Being a smaller place, there is none of the crowding and waiting I’ve had from the larger chain opticians.
