Report
Pro optical sent a pair of sunglasses to a vsp lab for lenses, the lenses came back with a visible patch work treatment pattern, simply unworkable quality in the polarization for comfortable use. Pro optical did not know how to simply QC uniformity of polarization by placing the lens in front of their own PC screens...which had to be demonstrated to them before they agreed to send back... This ordeal resulted in more than one failed pick up, wasting time and money, and demonstrated a frustrating misalignment in correctly delivering the service Pro optical agreed to perform. Unacceptable and disappointing

I got new glasses at ProOptical in 2018. Not cheap. I contacted them this year to price changing one lens due to cataract surgery. They quoted me a cost equal to (possibly more) than the original purchase price to redo both lens. I email back and repeated that I only needed the one lens changed. No response. I won't be back.

Dr. Jost is far and away the best optometrist I have ever worked with. She is personable, knowledgable and very diligent. She is detailed in answering any questions I have and does so in a way that I have a more complete understanding of the status of my eyes and prescription after leaving my appointment. She never seems in a rush to complete an appointment quickly, instead focusing on providing the best experience and quality of care. The rest of the staff are also friendly, helpful and courteous. After receiving subpar care at other optometrists offices in Boston, I'm glad to have found this

I absolutely LOVE the team at ProOptical! When I arrive for an appointment, there is never a wait after checking in. The front desk staff and Kyle, the optometric tech, are all very friendly and attentive each and every time! When I ran out of contact lenses and had to wait for my next appointment with Dr. Jost for a checkup to obtain another lens prescription, Sandra, the patient care coordinator, was nice enough to provide me some trial contact lenses of the exact brand and strength I needed to hold me over until my appointment - and all FREE of charge!! Finally, Dr. Jost always answers all of

Had an eye exam with Dr.Cheung. She was not thorough and the exam was rushed. She charged me $40 for additional Digital retina exam but she didnt even bother to tell me anything about it. I wasn't even sure if she looked at it. To add to that, the front desk staff were extremely rude. I don't think I'll go back ever again.

Report
Have had consultations with three of the optometrists at Pro Optical Boston. The actual consultations have been pleasant and efficient. However, when I called to ask for help when I ran out of contacts unexpectedly, I was told in so many words to get lost. The receptionist stated that the doctor did not feel comfortable renewing a prescription unless I booked an appointment at least 11 days away.
She said perhaps I should find another optometrist--and so I did.
Re: Response from the owner. I appreciate the polite response you are providing now. The rude dismissiveness of your receptionist when
