Staff was friendly and prompt and got us going with paperwork that wasn't overly burdensome. We were given an option to do an additional diagnostic and there was no pressure applied when we opted out. The doctor was kind and courteous, thorough, and answered our questions. Even though it was the end of the day, the staff weren't rushing us to make our glasses choices and let my husband and I discuss our options. "Z" was wonderful helping price things out against our insurance and choosing the best options, explaining certain lens components as well. Would come here again!

The wait time was less than 3 minutes, Dr Syed was very friendly, very willing to answer all your questions, he explained the process in clear terms. Even when my insurance is in network, i had to pay out of pocket for eye exam.

No problems! The doctor was nice and friendly, his communication was perfect and clear. I didn’t feel judged by anyone from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere at good energy.
February 28, 2025Pia R.Verified patient
Dr. Hussain was more than kind. He was warm, understanding, and what I liked the best, he explained everything he was doing before doing it. He asked if I was ok with whatever the next step was and if I understood it. He made me feel comfortable. I also like the fact he did not push me to purchase anything but provided me with the options available.

Great experience

A waste of an appointment -what I needed was clear I shared that I had medical issue with my eyes. Priority was not a prescription for eyeglasses- did not get feedback on tests that were given,written report is illegible, would not recommend. Waste of time and money.

The office was clean. The receptionist was efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly. The doctor was informative and helpful. I was seen right away after I did my in-take forms. I would recommend coming here for an eye exam and to check out the frames.

This office does not accept insurance for medical issues related to your eyes. They only accept vision insurance and only for glasses and contacts.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
Although the goal of the appointment to update my lenses and contacts prescriptions was met, I was rushed through the eye exam to the point where I am questions of the new prescriptions are accurate. The equipment for the eye exam was also outdated and the “lenses” in the machine were dirty/cloudy. I won’t be returning to this location, and maybe not Pearle Vision overall. Hope that things improve for future patients.

Very welcoming and accommodated all of my needs. Made the process easy to understand and was quick yet thorough/efficient with my appointment.
January 10, 2024Shevonne W.Verified patient
I came in for a routine eye exam and wanted new glasses. the storefront and office were clean and the staff were friendly, as was the doctor. This practice is out of my insurance provider's network, but they were able to figure out what I was eligible for in short order. I'm very pleased with my experience here and look forward to my next visit.
