Eyecare Center

I received a very thorough exam here at a reasonable cost. The office is beautifully appointed and the staff professional and, unlike some of the eyecare factories (such as LensCrafters and Cohen’s), they don’t pressure you to buy any frames or lenses if all you want is an exam. They gave me a pair of contact lenses to try out and some free solution, and even fixed my glasses.

I have been using this eye facility for eight years. They always get my prescription lenses right. I am now in Nassau and travel back for exams and glasses because they are patient, professional and reasonable.

Mission accomplished: we have found our eye care facility.
First of all, the office is conveniently located in Jackson Heights — it’s a new facility, nice, clean, comforting; a fantastic addition to the community. You get the very strong impression of ‘family eye doctor’, when you enter — the proprietors are both very nice (they must be brothers because the similarities are uncanny), knowledgeable and they remembered everyone who came into the office while we were there. Likewise, the doctor is excellent, extremely knowledgeable and super nice (and also remembered everyone that he saw while we were there). The exam was thorough, the care and attention given to us (and to everyone else who entered) was top notch, they didn’t push anything on us but were extremely helpful all the same.
Yuri, I believe his name was (update: I was wrong, it’s Rory), helped with the glasses selection process, and he was excellent — one look at our faces and shapes and he could pull out several different glasses that all looked great! And like I said, he was not pushy — when I decided not to purchase glasses he said nothing to convince me otherwise and was not in the least resentful of the time he’d spent selecting glasses for me to try on. When it was my boyfriend’s turn, even the doctor got in on the action, with everyone weighing in on which styles and pairs they preferred.
They were also knowledgeable about our insurance, giving us prices for what was and was not included. Helping us out when they could sense we were balking at the costs. Eye care is expensive, and when all was said and done we walked out of there with a hefty bill (for two exams, one contact exam, one pair of glasses and one six month supply of contacts) even after factoring in our insurance coverage (which, let’s face it, is never much for eye care); but the money was well spent and given to a very deserving business. It’s not every day you find an establishment that is sensitive to and respectful of the clients needs, extremely knowledgeable in their field, and excellent in their quality of service.
