Everyone was friendly and professional. Dr. Powers was personable and answered all of my questions. The Technician, Dalyn was thorough and professional. Clean environment and quick service. I will go back for my next annual appointment.
Great and quick service. I havent had a check up in a while so I was a little nervous but they definitely put all my worries at ease. Everything was easy from check in to pitching out the perfect frames. Dr. Laroque was easy to talk to and answered all my questions. Segue helped with my frames and made the perfect suggestion for a long term wear. Honestly one of the best experiences at the eye doctor Ive had in years.
First time visitor and eyeglass wearer! The staff here is amazing, extremely helpful and very efficient. They have a large display of glasses and if your looking for designer frames this is the right place. The service here is top notch, the staff and optometrist were so professional and knowledgeable and they completely put you at ease. Loved my visit here!😊
The staff and doctors are so nice and friendly. They make you feel right at ease!
I was able to do the eye exam and get my glasses all in one day.
They will waste your time and gas. I had requested an eye exam. I was specific when I called. I went as scheduled and then was told I would have to come back. I asked to speak to a manger, she is working from home and have to email to get an appointment. So no resolution for a while. It took me three minutes to find The Eye Center PA, which was very professional and courtesy unlike Eye Associates. They have lost our business as well as Lens Crafters. I have been going to Lens Crafters for over 20 years. A new beginning and has to be an improvement from what I received today. Eye Associates do not care about customers but like your money.
This was absolutely one of the best customer experiences I’ve ever had. I brought my 86 year old aunt in without an appointment because she desperately needed a new prescription. Jenn the store manager and Jazmin moves the schedule around to fit her in. They were so incredibly kind to her I can’t even put it into words. Jenn managed to have new glasses ready for her in less than an hour. When we left she was so happy she said “this changes my life. I don’t have to worry when I drive now”. Jenn, Jazmin, Niya and Connor were amazing and should be recognized. Fantastic experience.
Really good customer service and very little waiting!
Very friendly practice. 2the technician was very personal and had a great disposition. He explained what he was doing and was proficient doing it. Dr. Walsh was also very friendly and explained what she found during the exam and various options. This practice uses the latest technology as well from website scheduling to eye scanners that alleviate the need for dilation. I was impressed with everything and will definitely be back and have the rest of the family go here.
Asked about 40 charge that i never had to pay before and the lady got an attitude when i asked her to check my insurance. 2 seconds later she was like nope sarcastically. I dont like unexpected fees! They could have told me over the phone before I drove 30 minutes and wasted my time. Ive been going hear for a few years and never had to pay for an eye exam. They get a new machine which they know insurance wont cover and DONT ADVISE UNTIL YOU GET IN THE OFFICE. I WILL NEVER GO BACK! STAFF UNPROFESSIONAL AND COMPANY NEEDS TO BE UPFRONT WHEN THEY CALL YOU.
All of the associates were really nice and talked me through all the steps. Dr. Powers was personable, very professional and provided an in depth review of my eye and the prescription available to me. I highly recommend.
Dr. Rogers was the best! So sweet! I loved her!
Staff were professional, responsive, answered questions without reservation.
I would not recommend this place at all! My appointment was at 11:30 on yesterday, I arrived probably ten mins early and was not seen until after 12:00. There was not anyone else there but me, but they were busy conversing amongst themselves. The young lady who did my eye exam had no personality and talking to her was like pulling teeth and the optometrist Dr. wint wasn’t any better she barely greeted me when she walked in. I gave them one star because the young lady on the sales floor was helpful, but that’s all.
Brittany is amazing and will make sure you find the perfect glasses, no matter how picky you are! Destiny and Dr. Park are amazing too. He goes above and beyond what normal eye doctors do. Kayla is wonderful and made sure I had the perfect appointment to fit my insane schedule. Thank you guys ❤️❤️❤️
Was very pleased dr Rogers is great only disappointment was I wont have my glasses for 2 weeks. Thank u so much for a great experience
Great service. Eye doctor and staff were awesome. When it was time to pick out glasses they listened to what I wanted and I was in and out in under an hour.
I got an exceptional service! First of all, before my appointment they sent me few reminders about my appointment. When in the Drs office everything went smooth. The Doctor, as well as the assistant, were very nice and professional. Due I was the last patient of the day they were closing when I was done with my eye exam; therefore, I have to return to choose my glasses. The second time I wait a little bit due all the restrictions for Covi-19. But at the end they helped me to choose the right lenses and helped me all the way through.
My experience with Eye Associates of Columbia at Harbison Mall was very pleasing and they have wonderful staff and doctors
They had good COVID-19 practices. Everyone was fast, friendly, and did a good overall eye exam.
My visit was good. The Dr was good & professional...
Best place to get eye exams and fitted for contacts and glasses!! The staff is always amazing and so friendly and I feel like I get the best care and service!! Won’t go anywhere else!!
I was seen at the Sandhills location. Dr. Powers is awesome, professional, and knows what hes doing. Staff is great, the equipment is sanitized, and the office is very clean. I love how they have the hand sanitizer at the door and everyone that handles the patients must wear a mask.
Great and friendly service! I was in, out, and seeing clearly in no time. Highly recommended!
Extremely professional! I went in to get my eyes checked for the very first time and had the best experience here. Mrs. Walsh was super nice and explained all the procedures and machines that would be checking my eyes. In her findings she was extremely informative of what she had found and explained thoroughly what the next procedure would be going forward. I highly recommend going to see her and her staff for your eye appointments.
Katherine Was The Best!!!!
Our family has used Eye Associates of Columbia for several years now and have always liked the service we received. Last year, I did not have a great experience and considered finding another place for my annual eye appointments. Glad I did not do that! I returned back to Dr. Powers this year after having seen a different eye doctor last year. What an amazing experience! He was able to correct the contact lens issue I had been having, got me properly fit and genuinely was interested in my comfort and happiness with the service I received. His staff (Jennifer in particular) were helpful, informative and helped to run things smoothly. The office no longer dilates your pupils because they have state-of-the-art equipment that circumvents the need for that but still gives the eye doctor everything he/she needs to look at the overall health and wellness of your eye. I have since learned that the doctor I saw last year was no longer there so if you had a similar experience in past, give them another chance. I am really glad I did.
I want to thank the awesome doctors and crew! They helped my 8 year old daughter find the perfect glasses and treated her like a queen! She is still talking about how nice they were and caring!My husband and myself also had full eye exams and chose glasses! I an super impressed with the 5 star care and details that they pour into their work. It shows they are committed to high quality!I highly recommend them! PLUS VERY REASONABLE pricing and take our insurance too!Love these people and care they out into their customers! 😁👍
The best eye appointment I have ever had. The exam was fast and the doctor explained a lot of things. (2019)Update (new year 2020) --- Once again very professional, takes the time to help you, does everything they can to get what you need no matter what! I highly recommend this place. I just got contacts again for the first time in a long time. Couldnt be happier! Thank you Eye Associates of Columbia!
The staff here is great everyone greets you with the smell soon as you walk through the door. The process is quick but the service is excellent. The entire office staff gets five STARS from me. I’d recommend this location to any and everyone that needs an exam and or fitted for new frames and lenses.
The office at Columbiana mall performed an expensive and unneeded test not covered by insurance. They did not inform me of the test being done nor did they give me a chance to opt out. Ask before they administer any procedure. Not only did I not need this test but I knew it was not covered. They just passed me through several devices without explaining what they were doing. Some patients might need this procedure but if you dont or dont want procedures not covered by insurance you will not be notified. I am $41.00 out of pocket needlessly. This test seems to be used in many cases as a revenue enhancer. From now on I will get my eye testing at an ophthalmologist where informed consent is practiced and medical issues can be addressed appropriately and honestly.
I have been going to them for at least 8 years and each year it seems like the less you have them do there the less they want to take care of you. I want to buy my glasses at a different place and asked them to measure and was willing to pay extra but was told no since I wasn’t buying my glasses there so just got my prescription will go somewhere else next time.
Very professional, clean, quick, and friendly!
Dr. Powers is AMAZING! Extremely nice and very knowledgeable. Took the time to address any questions that I had. His staff was also very friendly and helpful. Would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Powers!
Have used Eye Associates of Columbia/LenseCrafters since 2017 and am very pleased with the services/products provided. Received a thorough exam and fitting each time in a very professional manner by all the staff. Will definitely continue using their services and products.
“I had my first appointment recently for an eye exam and new glasses and the experience was a breeze. The service was amazing and I felt so at ease with all of the help I received. A woman named Tracy assisted me with picking out glasses and helping me fully understand the different choices I had for lenses. She was AMAZING and super sweet. I couldnt thank her enough for her help
Fast and professional service. Very large selection of glasses to choose from.
My experience was awesome. The staff and doctor are very nice. I will definitely be back next summer for my eye exam. 😊
Had a great experience with the Staff and Doctor. Everyone brings positive energy, like the Staff actually wants to work there. My eye exam took about 25 minutes and they answered any questions I had and made good conversation. Its not explicitly stated but this Location is next to JC Penny inside the mall.
I had a GREAT experience Dr. Powers is the best! Great staff and VERY personable. Tracy was so SO helpful and friendly. I will recommend everyone here. Have Tracy help you with your glasses choice she is AMAZING!
Two of my teenagers had eye exams back to back, one of which has special needs. The management at the store was so kind, understanding, and friendly with our children and our whole family that was waiting. It was a wonderful experience there and we would highly recommend going to Eye Associates of Columbia for your eye exams.
Very friendly and clean. In and out quickly. Very informative.
I have been coming here for about 5 years and they have always explained everything before doing anything. I would have given 5 stars on the actual exam and the doctor, but by the time it came to pay I was floored! My eye exam is normally $10 with the insurance I have. I knew there was going to be a charge for a contact fitting, BUT $40 for a picture of my eyes because MOST people don’t like getting their eyes dilated BAFFLES me! I knew that getting my eyes dilated was going to be part of the exam, but when you don’t give me an option on whether or not I want the 3D picture or my eyes dilated angers me! I WILL be calling about this because I pay extra for the more expensive eye care and to be charged this much discourages me from even buying glasses, contacts, or even coming back!
Everyone there was extremely friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Will was awesome. Very knowledgeable of the products and informative of the lenses choices. Id highly reccomend.
Quick and professional, and mindful of the pandemic. Thank you for a great experience.
Dr. Williams provided wonderful service with a friendly welcoming attitude. I felt I received an excellent exam and will continue to treat with him. Tracey was also very helpful in providing information and helping with proper selection of frames. Everyone in this office was friendly and went above and beyond. Thank you, V. Stevenson
Overall it was a pretty good experience and it was pretty fast they got me in and out on time, but while waiting the staff members were having some interesting conversations that I think maybe weren’t appropriate for clients to hear. But overall it was pretty good.
My visit was great from beginning to end. I couldn’t have asked for a better visit. The wait time was short, my actual visit was very thorough. I enjoyed the staff, and was very pleased!
Dr. Parrish was great, he was very thorough in explaining my eye exam. He really took his time and answered all my questions. Their office was very well organized and I didn’t wait long at all.
Excellent customer service! The staff was very professional, and the office was very clean. The location is very convenient as well. I will remain a loyal customer.
Everyone was super nice! We were greeted by a very sweet manager named Melanie within the first 5 seconds we walked through the door. The entire staff was friendly and professional. The doctor was great and gave my daughter the perfect prescription and perfect contacts for her dry eyes. We will definitely be getting all of our familys eye care at Lenscrafters from now on!!
I always get my yearly eye exams through Eye Associates of Columbia! Im confident in their state of the art equipment. I never have any problems with my prescription and my glasses make my vision sharp and clear.
“This appointment started a little rough. I had made an appointment for my daughter to have an eye exam, be fitted for contacts, and receive training. Upon signing in, I was told we had to come back another day because there was no time on the schedule for her training. I explained that this was not told to me when I was setting up the appointment. When Jennifer saw how upset I was at having to reschedule, she began looking for an alternative solution. She wound up volunteering her lunch time to train my daughter on the contacts!! What amazing customer service!!! Kudos to her for making what could have been a very negative situation into a very positive outcome!!! Thanks to her for being so kind!!!
Exceptional customer service and extremely competent store management staff.
I had a great experience. The Doctor and staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. I like them very much.
The staff and doctor were all very kind and helpful!
The doctor and staff were all very professional and friendly. They took time to fully answer several questions that I had about options to consider. I feel confident that my new glasses will assist me to see better!
Great eye Care and Love the technology used to determine my eye health glad I came
They always make you feel like they really care about you. They explain things to you and spend time making sure your concerns and questions have been answered. (This review was meant for the Sandhills location).
I had an awesome experience at LensCrafters yesterday. Crystal and Lo were very helpful!!!
Ive been visiting Lens Crafters for years and this has been the Absolute BEST services Ive ever received. The sales associates were very helpful and patient and the Dr. Did an amazing job!! I didnt feel rushed and she took her time in explaining and answering all of my questions. I will definitely return and I will stick with this Lens Crafters. Thank you for such an amazing experience!!@
Although they were very busy, they kept you moving through the process. Very high tech and thorough. Pleasant experience.
Finding Dr Walsh is what Mickelson’s must have felt like after finding the green at the 2010 Masters with his 200 yd shot from behind a pine tree. Best eye exam ever!
Jennifer at the Harbison (Columbia, SC) location is amazing! She sped along my eye exam process all while handling the multitude of other customers within the store by herself. They were understaffed due to it being the middle of the week. She was friendly and helpful (and clearly knew what she was doing). Jennifer is absolutely an asset to LensCrafters.
Awesome experience! Cordial, professional, and informative.
The area was clean and staff were all awesome. They were professional and knew their stuff when it came to any questions I had regarding my eyes or the glasses I was looking for. The only thing that I had a issue with was that I have to wait 2 weeks before I get my new glasses, but this has nothing to do with the staff, so no blame can go to them. Overall I would recommend them to anyone, but patience is needed. lol
Customers are not being advised that a digital imaging is not covered by any insurance, nor that the same diagnosis can be achieve without the extra expense. After being summoned into the pre-examination room and asked to removed my glasses, the technician gave me a clipboard with a form to be read and signed. He explained it to be a permission form to perform a much needed diagnostic test. After retrieving my glasses, I could read that I was about to sign a form to consent to a digital imaging at my own cost. When I questioned the technician about this practice, he explained that he was instructed to not comment on the form because everything was written. In other words, he was to SAY NOTHING to advise patients about alternative methods of diagnosis that are fully covered by insurance companies. I find this practice deceitful and ethically marginal. I don´t know if this practice is associated with Lenscrafters, but if it is, I recommend that you question everything. They do not have your best interest. Theyre main goal is to make a quick buck from trusting patients. BEWARE OF ANY FORM THAT YOU ARE ASKED TO SIGN.
Great service, great timing, they all have a listening ear for your needs . And they ALL go the EXTRA MILE . Awesome job guys thank you so much.
Very nice and helpful staff and great selection of frames.
Great and fast service. Dr Williams is very thorough and pleasant to work with.
I went back for a follow up appointment to see if I enjoyed my new contacts. I told them I liked them and I was ready to purchase my new contacts. The guy at the desk told me all the retail specialists were busy and they would call me to collect payment. So I walked around the mall. 3 hours later and still no phone call. I go back to the store, and Im told the same thing...they are still busy. I took my prescription and walked out. I will go to another place to purchase my contacts . Horrible customer service!
Extremley cordial staffs. The doctor was very cooperative and took great care of us after our. Car accident. The staffs werw very cooperative and even provided us discounts that was not listed. Greatly satisfied and Highly recommended.
We love going here. The staff is friendly. The doctors are great. They see you in a timley manner. The glasses usually dont take long.
Very satisfied with my visit and the care and consideration given by the doctor and everyone in the office.
Dr. Rogers is great. They were very efficient.
Great customer service! Everyone was extremely nice
Everyone was very nice. The doctors made sure I was satisfied with my choices before I ordered anything.
Amicable atmosphere the associates just need to be more open on costs before giving services without the customer knowing it costs extra. Contact lens fittings should be explained that it costs extra and insurance doesnt cover it.
Very professional and friendly! Great Customer Service!
Vision test was excellent. I ran into problems trying to get progressive lense. I did not agree that there was a need to bend the frams to make the glasses line up on my face. I felt that the lenses should have been designed to follow my line of sight. Each time I spoke up I was told that I would have to just get adjusted to the glasses and fpukd the measurement was off. They just would not listen and I was tired of trying to get them to understand. The employees became agitated and rude. My score is for vision test only.
Excellent customer service and the Eye Doctor was amazing. Thank you for such a great experience
I had a great experience.
Awesome experience and quick.
Great experience very thorough and knowledgeable
The staff was very helpful and the doctor I saw was wonderful.
Great Service!!! Friendly and concerned staff. Excellent wait time!
Great customer service and good prices.
Great experience. Fast, professional, and cost-effective.
Very pleased with my annual checkup. Everyone was friendly and professional, exam was not rushed and was happy with the service.
Easy and super friendly. Great selection of tests and glasses.
I had my first appointment end of March went rather well however trying to get ahold of the doctor is next to impossible leaving messages no responses not too happy right now with them
Love Eye Associates of Columbia! Would highly recommend.
The entire staff at this location are totally awesome
Always great customer service and great with my son
“Everyone there was awesome, very helpful!
Dr. White took the time to explain my visual challenges to me and told me what to expect in the coming years.
Staff was very supportive .. thorough test
Great job quick service Mike Weinrib
Great staff.
I always get treated well at Midlands Eye Associates & they always take their time with me when doing the eye exam.
