Very profesional excellent the Dr and his staff i recommend Cristián
Verified patient
It’s ridiculous to spend 2 hours at an optometrist office for prescription glasses. I found her staff unsatisfactory due to communication problems, and I felt as if they were up-selling me on unnecessary “upgrades”. When I asked a sales associate why a certain lens coating was necessary, she did not have a clear answer. In the end, the optometrist did not approve of the coating so PLEASE BE AWARE OF WHAT THEY’RE TRYING TO SELL YOU. It’s best to get your prescription here and buy your frames someone else for a quarter of the price.
