Report
I received a very thorough eye exam (probably the most thorough one I've ever received) by Dr. Chan this morning. With a family history of eye related conditions, I appreciated his thoroughness and feedback throughout the exam. The studio is very conveniently located in Back Bay next to Starbucks. Dr. Chan and his office assistant proactively brought up my health insurance coverage and contact lens rebate for the best deal. They also price match contacts with places like Costco. I wasn't sure of my FSA balance and they made sure to charge what they could to my card. Overall, great experience

Would have given zero starts if that was an option. I purchased a pair of glasses here but never received them. I started calling after a few weeks and was told that the lenses the lab made didn't pass quality control and to be remade. A week and half later I was told they were finishing up the lenses at the lab. 6 weeks later, still no glasses and now they tell me the lab damaged the frame and the frame is no longer available. Every step of the way through this process I have had to call and email for a status update even through Dr. Chan said he'd keep me up-to-date. He never did. Meanwhile

Thank you so much for my amazing glasses!! I could not have been better advised, I ended up with a frame I would not have considered and I absolutely love it plus the quality of the lenses is above and beyond despite my prescription.

With Dr. Chan, it's really the small things that come together to create an exceptional experience. I came here for an eye exam over two years ago, and he still remembered me. Although I just came here for a renewed prescription, he took the time to thoroughly examine my eyes for any possible issues. Unlike some other doctors who will run multiple procedures without telling the patient what they are doing, Dr. Chan will take care to explain every step of what he is doing, and will willingly answer any questions. This may seem like a norm for any optometrist, but I have yet to see any optometrist

This review is only for the appalling service offered by Dr. Chan's assistant (bearded hipster with thick frames) and not for a review of Chan's eye exam although I would say his explanations and answers for your questions are thorough and I believe his services during the exams are exemplary like from most capable optometrists but I did not understand the ins and outs of what is actually performed during the exam (5 stars). Today (5/4/17), I asked his assistant about the likelihood of misaligned frames due to the incorrect lenses sizing after the lenses creation process (I got it made
