All the staff was very friendly and competent at what they were doing, Dr Jones was very thorough with my examination and explained everything he was doing, I didn’t feel rushed and was very happy with the results he gave me. They even scheduled my appointment at another eye center for additional things I needed to get done, which saved me a lot of time…will definitely recommend..

I’ve been going here my whole life and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Dr. Ball is by far the best there is and the staff are always incredibly helpful and polite. The glasses selection is really nice too. 10/10

Not a long wait and very personalized service. Love Dr Ball. And I can’t remember the staff members name but they took the time to explain my insurance and how the charges lined up with my coverage. Excellent!

Great staff! Dr Ball is fantastic. Affordable frames. My insurance covered all but $50 and that included glasses and exam.

Generally a good experience. It was my first pair of contacts. When I went to pick them up, I wasn’t given a case for the contacts, leaning solution, or any instruction, but I think the assistant was new and just didn’t realize I wouldn’t have these items. When I returned, the eye doc was very helpful and answered all my questions. I didn’t have to wait long at either visit. I recommend Dr Tavel for quality of exam and eye care.... thanks guys!

Ive been going to Dr Tavel for 20 years and Ive always been satisfied with the outcome the glasses that I have received have always been top of the line and very comfortable and the hospitality that I receive every time I come into the store is very welcoming and I also enjoy supporting a local business I just left the store a moment ago and they told me it was like Im family so thank you Dr Tavel youll continue to receive my business for the next 20 years

The front office staff are friendly and professional. A bit of a wait for the exam, but nothing out of the ordinary compared to other medical/specialist appointments. Theyll text you when your glasses order arrived, and offer free adjustments after you received them.

I’ve been going to Dr. Tavel for many years and have always had professional, courteous service from a staff who truly cares. I highly recommend Dr. Ball - he is EXCEPTIONAL as well as very personable and thorough. The staff always takes plenty of time to help me select frames for my new glasses and I also always use them for my contact lens needs. Couldn’t be happier and I’ll be a lifetime customer!

Very professional, but also laid back in the best way. Easy to talk to and the appointments are quick. Seeing my normal eye doctor eases me greatly as he’s the only one who knows my eyes super well! Great place to visit and chat before your appointment. Staff is genuine and amazing.

Was very disappointed in the Perfessionliizm of the office personnel of this establishment was very rudely spoken to and ask to leave for not wearing a mask, but what they failed to realize is with my health problems I cant, copd/asma/Emphysema......I will never suggest dr tavel for anyone mostly just for the rudeness of the staff.

Review №38

In the past Ive been very pleased by the Dr. Tavel near my house. Since 2020 though I feel the quality of service has decreased. First my prescription for 2020 wa way off and it took over a month to get back in and get the correct lens. Most recently in 2021, their website laid out all of the safety protocols they were supposed to use, however, there were several people waiting for appointments and the doctor kept letting his mask slip down, even telling me at one point I could lower mine to make using the equipment easier when it started to fog up. The fogging up isnt Tavels problem, thats the still poorly designed masks the world is making even a year plus into this pandemic.

Each time I arrive at Dr. Tavel Premium Optical i am pleasantly greeted and professionally directed to an appropriate area for service. You can tell they care about the safety of their customers. They are consistant in their good service and always offer smiles, compliments and follow up.

Love Dr. Tavels office in B-Town! Everytime I have to order contacts they are so nice over the phone and patient (because I am a hot mess). I am going out of town and running out of contacts and they are letting me pick up some trails so I dont have to wear my glasses for a few days! Best optometrist Ive ever had, and Ive been going for over 20 years in 3 different states!

Review №75

Went in last year for eye infection. Came back with a full bill despite I checked with my insurance company and the store that it was an in-network provider beforehand. Later called Dr. Tavel to ask for more information on this full bill and why it was charged in full. The customer service on the other side of the line simply answered apathetically I dont know. Horrible customer service! Never go back again!

Re
Review №80

Terrible customer service. The coating on my lenses was compromised within 6 months of ordering and since I was never offered a warranty, the only solution would be order a whole new pair or set of lenses. The only explanation the staff could come up with was it being the fault of the original optician who sold me the glasses who NEVER offered me the warranty. So because of the inexperienced optician, I now have to pay for new lenses. Will never come here again.

Had a great experience with my son. He got contacts for the first time and the staff were very helpful with showing him how to use them. He feels great being able to go without glasses!! His new glasses are great also! Dr. Tavel has a huge selection of glasses to choose from and it didn’t take long to receive them.

The customer service over the phone while calling needs to be professional, and not come off rude while asking questions. I work for a corporate contact center and didnt feel like the customer service that was provided was giving a good look for the office. I am very disappointed because my children enjoyed there eye exam visit and did better than they have in the past. I could hear people in the background joking around, and laughing but I didnt think that was very appropriate.
