Yesterday was my first time at Urban Eyes. I was impressed by the short wait times, attentive staff, and knowledgeable eye doctor. They also had a unique eyewear collection and infinite patience with my kiddo and me when we were trying on so many pairs. The entire office is engaging in very safe COVID prevention practices as well. I feel lucky to live so close to my new eye care team!

Emily was very professional, friendly, and helpful in helping me pick out frames! Great customer service from her! My glasses took roughly a month to get in but I believe that was the manufactures doing, not Urban Eye Vision Care. They were very professional and responsive by keeping me up to date with my glasses with any updates/questions I had while they were in the process of being made. Will be going back!
