I waited quite a bit but staff was very friendly and accommodating. The lady that did my prescreen explained everything thoroughly and was patient and kind. Dr. Vilinsky is also very nice and highly experienced.

Dr Vilinsky and his staff are very friendly and welcoming. They also validated my parking. The only downside to coming to this office was the wait. I was 30 minutes early for an appointment, waited for over an hour and was out the door AFTER being called within 30 minutes or so. Overall I spent a little over 2 hours at this office which was packed upon arrival. I would definitely come back to this location maybe just schedule an appointment if needed in an earlier timeframe
February 1, 2018Initials hidden
Overall I had a good experience during my appointment. The staff was extremely pleasant, the doctor was very thorough and I felt very comfortable. The whole experience was very smooth. The wait time was a little more than what I would have liked but wasn’t unpleasant. Overall I recommend and will return for my next check up.
January 7, 2018Angelica T.Verified patient
I arrived at 4:30 for a 5pm appt and there was a wait because of confusion. Workers were very unprofessional however I enjoyed my visit with Vilinsky. He was professional and thorough.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
He was very knowledgeable and professional. He answered all of my questions. He also made sure I picked the right frames for my prescription because I use bifocal glasses. My prescription is very high which thickens the lenses. I am so happy with the service that I received here. Thank you so much.
November 2, 2017Estephany M.Verified patient

Dr. Vilinsky was very friendly and approachable. He is very accomplished and skilled in his profession. You can tell by his demeanor that he cares about the experience of his patients. Although his staff was very friendly, there was a slight mix up with my appointment, which caused me to be seen a bit later. However, that was no major issue whatsoever. I recommend this office to anyone without hesitation.
