“There is a reason Dr. Genilo has received over 50 5 star reviews! She truly cares about her patients! Her bedside manner is AMAZING! She listened to my concerns and went over the things we could work through together. It can be frustrating as a patient when you really need a doctor and their bedside manner is horrible. Or worse, they don’t listen. You waste time and money. If you’re looking for a GREAT Doctor this is your sign to make the appointment!! Thank you Dr. Genilo! I appreciate you!??”

Dr Genilo was fantastic with my 12 year old. The entire experience could not have been better. We arrived early and we were seen right away!

Dr. Genilo and the entire staff was amazing! They were great at explaining things and getting all 4 of my kids exams at the same time. As a busy mom this is huge! Their patience dealing with insurance complications and the level of personal care was amazing. One of my son's has problems with drifting eyes and had a previous surgery at CMH to correct it. We previously went to CMG for all of our kids eye care, but the wait times got to be so long. We really needed a doctor close to home who could handle our son's history. Dr. Genilo's knowledge and expertise was invaluable. Also, the added benefit of their vision therapy services is a huge asset. 5 stars all the way!

The staff is always super friendly. When I arrived at my contacts fitting yesterday, they even had me checked in already. And everyone is always unbelievably friendly. I adore Dr. Genilo (and she's fabulous with my boys) and would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Dr. Genilo is great. However, our last visit made us rethink our patronage. We pulled our 3 children out of school and what usually takes less than an hour took almost 2 hours. Then, there are no free warranties on children's glasses you must pay a fee. Sounds like they are trying to save cost, but are pushing it to the customer. Not the same company we fell in live with. Also, the staff no longer asks you what lenses upgrades, they automatically add your previous selection. We had a huge change in finances and would have liked to choose.

My visit was professional, caring and friendly. I appreciate the care provided to listen and try to approve my eye care needs. I have recommended Custom Eyes to others in the past and will continue to do so. Thank you!

I was scared due to my sudden sight change. They fit me in to the schedule right away. The staff and Dr. Genilo were extremely kind and considerate. When I asked questions, they all took the time to explain things without seeming rushed or annoyed.

We have always went to the same optometrist but never really liked the office staff, always rude to my family and seemed like we were a bother coming in with 2 kids at the same time. We had an insurance change and choose to come see your office and WOW everyone and I mean everyone was so friendly, nice, smiled and answered all our questions.

Great Experience & Staff
More than 1 year agoInitials hiddenSource: Partner
I am impressed with the way I was greeted by the staff. My technician that performed the test and preliminary is exceedingly educated cloaked in the people person personality. Quite impressed with the lady. My doctor Alicia Genilo is equally competent. We went through the results discussing what is going on with my eyes as I age. Answered my questions putting me at ease. I am impressed with the two ladies that assisted me and already made my future appointments. Hats off to them! We need to keep this type of personality working at your facility. Looking forward to seeing both of them soon. I think they deserve a bonus.

Love going to custom eyes as they are very concerned over all progressions over my eyes and keeps me informed at every point of how to care for the health of my eyes.
