Top quality care. Dr. Ali is superb and explained every important aspect of the exam. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Selection of glasses is wide and excellent quality. Its by far the best optical center Ive ever been to, and Ive worn glasses for over half of my 79 years.

Just called to get a pair of over $300 glasses fixed and because its out of warranty they said they could get me in for another exam and get another pair but at full price. Wouldnt even work with me. Never going back. And all I did was clean then. And they snapped in half. Over $300 glasses broke that easy. 6mnths past warranty and nothing.
