Don't bother if you have Blue View Vision Insurance. They refuse to file the claim necessary to get the covered exam and retinal image covered. And since they are SUPPOSED to be in network with Blue Vision, that makes it impossible for the patient to then file a "out of network" form with Blue Vision! Might as well not have the insurance if we have to pay for covered services ourselves. I loved the Dr. there. The Office sucks. They are also hard sell to sell you glasses from their own stock even after I told them I had been buying glasses and lenses elsewhere for year. Heck if they would not file

Hands down, the best experience Ive ever had when it comes to optometry. The staff is lovely, the doctors know what theyre doing, and I have never had such hospitality in regards to glasses fittings, vision procedures, etc. Ill never go anywhere else!

Love this practice. Today was my first visit but I know Dena. She of course helped me find the perfect new frame! I am so glad I found this group. The office staff was friendly, prompt and following safe Covid protocols. Dr HaBert was fantastic. As a result, the visit was comfortable and timely. Ill be using them going forward.
