It was pretty good, he was really nice, and the staff were pleasant even though I was 10 minutes late to my appointment.

The doctor was very nice and very thorough. They match the prices of 1-800-Contacts, which is nice. Recommended.

Verified patient
Had a great experience with Dr. Shimonov, was seen within 5 min of appointment time. Got a routine check up and was out in less than 20 min. Very professional and knowledgeable, answered all my questions clearly. I've had same eye doctor since I found out I needed glasses and was a little nervous going to someone new but he made it comfortable and easy.q
Verified patient
The wait wasn't bad at all, I only had to wait about 5 minutes. What I didn't like was his form of "bedside manners". I had a few questions and he would answer me with an attitude. As if it I shouldn't even be asking, why my eyes were irritated or why I was seeing blurry. I will not be going back.
The Dr. was very nice and so was the staff. However my appt was for 11:30am and when I arrived (on time) there was a note on the door saying "will be back in 15 minutes". After that the Dr. did not arrive in the office until 12:19pm.
It was an okay office. Nice and clean. The doctor did however answer his cell phone while I was in the middle of my exam. Take that for what you will.
Dr. Shimonov was wonderful! However, the office itself and the people working there left a very bad taste in my mouth. First, I waited an unbelievably long amount of time when there was NO ONE else waiting. Secondly, the woman working behind the counter were incredibly rude- and her daughter was running all around the store. I do not plan on returning to this doctor specifically because of the office.

Great experience!
Verified patient
Saw me right away
Verified patient
I've been wearing glasses since I was 8 years old and have seen many eye doctors, he has been the best I've seen so far. He knew what I was there for (contacts) and treated my just for that. The employees at the office were very friendly just like the doctor.
Verified patient
The doctor himself was very nice and treated me quickly and thoroughly BUT his receptionist was extremely rude, mean, dismissive and NOT helpful.
Verified patient
He was personable and did a thorough job and answered all my questions. His front desk --very nice-- fixed two pair of glasses for me at no cost, which I really appreciated. Would def go again.
Verified patient
Absolutelt!
My visit was great. I didn't have to wait a long time and the staff was courteous and helpful in helping me select a new set of frames. I was leaving town and kept calling to see how soon my glasses would be in and they were very helpful in checking with the manufacturer. I got my frame and loved them. Very kind staff!
Verified patient
My appt was confirmed but the Dr. Never showed up. The women working the front was not apologetic and said "she forgot to call". I ended up going down the street - the Dr saw me right away and she was excellent!!
Verified patient
This was my first visit and definitely would visit again, everyone was very nice and patient with me. I am usually weary when going to get eyeglass prescriptions since a few times at other places they've been off but DR SHIMONOV was spot on.
