The most incredible doctor, makes me regret that I will only get to visit once a year. Dr. Quintero-Chica is funny, patient, engaging, and knowledgeable. I could not recommend her enough, additionally, she's not pushy with products gives good advice on eyeglasses and sizing and is all around one of the best doctors I've been to.

I arrived early for my appointment & was welcomed & seen right away. Every step of my examination was carefully explained & all questions answered. Dr. Quintero Chica is everything & more that one would desire in a clinician.

She was very wonderful and friendly. Since I had an exam within a year or so, she assured me several times that I didn't really need another eye exam, but I insisted. Her honesty and and thoughtfulness really sold me on the whole experience. I will certainly recommend her to my friends.
November 16, 2016Bradley G.Verified patient
No better group, in my opinion, than Dr. Quintero-Chica and the Q-Optical team for your eyewear. Dr. Q is friendly, highly knowledgeable, and has always provided me with discerning, helpful advice in selecting my glasses.

Dr. Q was amazing! I had gotten lenses a couple of months ago and scratched one and she was super nice and emailed me and told me to make an appointment and took care of me! She's very personable and has funny jokes and a very convenient location!
More than 1 year agoKimberly S.Verified patient
She was incredibly friendly and made jokes which made the entire appointment very comfortable. She is quick too, I just went in on my lunch break! I would highly recommend her because she really listens to what you have to say and has suggestions as well. She's incredibly friendly and relatable.

Dr. Quintero Chica was great! She was patient and personable, which made the appointment very comfortable. Her instructions were clear, and she was focused throughout the exam. I felt very welcomed and she took my time and questions into consideration. There was no rush. She was also really funny, so that's always appreciated. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Personable and professional!
January 27, 2014Amber T.Verified patient
Getting an eye exam on Newbury St is fun and convenient. Go to Q Optical if you want the best of the street. The exam is amazingly thorough. The Dr is engaging & humorous. The frame selection is unique. The best part, the experience makes you feel like you are appreciated & values as a client.
More than 1 year agoMM
I get my eyes examined every year. In my 20+ years of exams I have never enjoyed the experience as much as I did at Q Optical. The Dr. is approachable & funny & she treats you like a person not a number. I felt she really enjoyed making sure I could see right! The aded benefit is that the store has cool, edgy, elegant but not trendy frames. I have found my optometrist for my life here in Boston.
More than 1 year agoKK
Some optical stores are all about the exam and some are all about the frames. Seldom do you find an optical store that excels at both. At Q Optical I received the best eye exam ever. How do you measure that? I was not rushed. Dr. Q made me feel as if I was the most important patient she had to see that day. When the exam was finished. Dr Q recommended frames that were perfect for my face.
