Great experience coming here, I usually don't write reviews but this place deserves it. I'm super picky when it comes to glasses and contacts. Prescription is great, contacts are great, the optometrist was awesome, he was professional and thoroughly explained everything to me, he was also wearing a suit which I appreciated. I got my glasses within 45 minutes, front desk was awesome they were super respectful and no one tried to upsell me towards very expensive glasses or anything like that, which is unheard of, my glasses look like they cost 500.00 but we're actually a steal at under 100.00 with

Dr. Hanono and his staff are excellent. I am Ashkenazi and have a degenerative eye condition that only a handful of doctors are aware of. Dr. H is one of the few. I was told by one doctor that within 5 years Id be blind. Very bad. I was devasted to hear the news, as one might imagine. My mother recommended I go see Hanono (she also has the condition). 10 years later I can still see clearly! Thank you so much Dr. Hanono. Although its not related to the practice, one cant write a comprehensive review without mentioning the suits. The doc looks sharp!

Hands down one of the best experience when coming to my eye doctor. Not only does he know how to rock a killer suit but he has an amazing staff. Even though the facility is very busy he always find time to give me his personal time just talk behind eye but also family and career. Hes very professional and precise when it comes to being superb eye doctor. Bought my Tom Ford as well as my contacts. I always look forward to coming here, Im very sorry to the staff Ive missed numerous appointment and thankful for always being so kind. Love you all very much

I went in for a routine eye exam a few weeks ago and had a great experience. The staff was helpful and Dr. Hanono himself was a kind, gentle man. He also wore a nice suit. BH I dont have any eye issues, but I have recommended him to others.
