The optometrists are really nice and good but they keep trying to increase billables by adding costs that other optometrists dont. Contact lens exams for $40 despite good VSP coverage is unlike what others do. They also charged my wife for retinal screening without informing her that it will be extra. If you are willing to ask whether every item will cost extra or okay with suprise bills, you can consider going there for the good optometrists.
Edit- They reached out and refunded the retinal screening charge that was mistakenly charged when vsp covers it for my wife.

Went through the entire hassle of getting my eyes checked, picking out frames, paying, just for them to mess up my order (you can't be refunded) and being put on hold for 30 minutes.

Dr. Nicholas Froumis has done excellent eye exams for the last 3 years. He is the best eye Dr. Ive had in 20 years. He listened to what I need for my lifestyle and set me up with the best lenses I have ever had. No chromatic aberrations, extremely clear and comfortable. I was doing astronomy with some students and I could make out 6 stars in the Orion Trapezium Cluster when the observers I was with could only see 4.

Theres something wrong with this place.
Walked in with my sun and asked about repairing his eye glasses.The lady on reception took and wrote down my and my sons info( first and last name and cell phone number) then she says go and wait outside in your car and Ill call you
We went outside (we dont have a car i dont drive) decided to wait and walk outside
And we walked over 3-4-5 hours in that neighborhood waiting for their phone call.,and she never did.We were walking and freezing outside for so many hours and we never get a phone call from them( as she had promised)

I had been with the clinic for many years when dr.gold & other senior docs were there. Now the place is not worth my recommendations. Optometry was always a headache , and now they have gotten worse with even picking up $800 price glasses. Very disappointed to see this place morph. I most definitely dont recommend the optometry services. Falls very short.
