I have been going to this place since I was a child and returned as an adult. The experience was even better than I could remember. I enjoyed the new technology and fast service. The ladies are very helpful. I got my glasses in my fast and they were able to modify my fitting. I love my new glasses. I can see so much better. Thank you all for your help!

Carlos was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I have been coming here for years and finally felt comfortable enough to ask more specific questions about my eyes thanks to Carlos. Highly recommend for nervous patients

The staff are friendly and respectful. Though the waiting room can seem a bit disorganized with so many people waiting and the staff seem to take a while to attend to the people. With so many people showing up it’s understandable I guess, but maybe spreading out a bit more the appointment times could help. Overall it’s an ok experience. If they have quick availability and if the location is convenient, I would recommend this place to someone.

I give Carlos and the staff a 5 star. Following procedures, I was able to get my eyes examined by the team at Westminster Eye Care. Being surrounded by bi-lingual individuals makes me feel at home and not only that, its great to have someone who speaks both Spanish/English given the community is mainly Latino in that area. I’ve been a patient here for 5+ years.

Karina was exceptional in assisting me during my eye wear purchase. She was beyond patient and informative during the process. I always spend more time than they would like in the gallery and all the associates are always so helpful and attentive, but Karina is the gold standard of customer service at Westminster Eye Care. I have many choices to shop for eyewear but I continue to come back to Westminster because of the service I receive from Karina.

Camila was so nice and welcoming, she helped me picked out my new glasses and I’m so in love with them. Would definitely go back, her energy wanting to help me and answer all my questions just to make sure I walk out satisfied, makes me want to go back for sure. Camila is definitely needed in Westminster Eye Care.

Review №28

Have been going here for years since the location is convenient. Friendly staff most the time. The Doctors. actually dont take enough time trying to make sure you see correctly. They literally want to check you within 3 minutes. as if it were their eyes & can put any prescription on you & you will be ok.Another thing is, I always buy new glasses every year. Expensive ones & maybe contacts. This time i paid about 500 & both glasses were crooked as hell. There is no need to go pick up new glasses & they have to adjust them to be straight. The poor girl had to adjust both of them & one of them wouldnt budge & was trying to be careful because of the expensive frame. Who ever installs the glass on the frames needs better handling.

I dont tend to leave reviews (this is actually my first), but after the lack of professional customer service I received I felt that I would want others to know. I was trying to set up an appointment as a new patient and the lady answering the calls was extremely disrespectful. I was hoping that I would be able to make this my new eye care due to the convenience of the location :(

Review №51

Staff is nice and professional. Efficient and fun. However Ive been jipped from my money twice here. When I was younger and wanted to try contact lens, I was told I had to pay $100 for a contact lens exam because my insurance doesnt cover it. At the time i didnt think much of it since I was a child. Then weeks later I received a letter from my insurance letting me know they were billed $100 for contact lens exam and wanted to make sure I didnt pay out of pocket for it. 10 years later, i decide to go back because i thought things may have changed. I went to get 2 special eye exams and was told my insurances werent covering it so I had to pay $120. 2 weeks later, my claims showed up on my insurance and they do cover the 2 special eye exams!! I only had to copay $20. Something is wrong with this place!Update March 20, 2021.It happened again. They took my money and claiming my insurance didnt cover special eye exams--when they do. Now, I have to spend time and go back to prove that I only needed to copay $10 instead of completely out of pocket of $130. Place makes no sense regarding finance and insurance... where are they pocketing this? Its too bad; I finally had a doctor with a prestigious educational background.

Growing up my parents took me to Westminster eye dr in Westminster.... every year the same complaints “THE DESK LADIES are rude, unprofessional.. and are super slow, you’ll be there the whole day...”As soon as I got another health insurance I transferred over to another eye dr (The best)Sadly due to the pandemic my eye dr couldn’t schedule me soon ...My last resort was this place :/ my app was about 6 weeks ago and still no eye glasses .. when I text the number provided on voicemail when calling them .. NOBODY texts me back..... horrible serviceAlso good luck with parking smh

Review №53

Wont be returning here. They are very busy all the time so expect to wait. My actual eye doctor was in the room for a total of 3 minutes, she was clearly rushing between appointments.Also they refused to email me my prescription when I requested it a few months later (when finding a new doctor), said they could only FAX it. What is this 1993?

I love this place Ive been coming for about 7 years now. All of the staff are extremely nice. All of the Drs really explain everything well, always answer any questions and never rush you through. There can be a wait sometimes but I think its because no one ever leaves the practice and they have a lot of long time patients!

I like this place cause you can make an appointment with your eye doctor or you can call them. and they attend you quick when you already have your appointment. the place is big inside it has a few chairs that you can sit on they have window where you can make your appointment at and the other window where you can make an appointment for your glasses.

Review №59

If I could give them a 0, I happily would. I am personally not a patient(and would never be) there but have been there with my grandmother and my sister. It is always far too crowded and they tend to overbook. The staff are unprofessional and rude. My sister took my niece there and the M.A. while doing whatever she was doing, scratched her cornea and she ended up needed drops and another visit. She should be more careful! My niece ended up needing new glasses and the order was placed. after waiting for more than a week and not receiving a call, my sister called. The staff person told her that they were ready but she didnt call because she had too many people to call! Really??????????????? that is your job!!!!!!!!!! Safe to say they are going elsewhere!

Review №61

It was one of the worst experience I ever had in an eye clinic. My appointment last about two hours. When I was leaving there was nobody waiting in the waiting room. The eye doctor was ok but the doctor assistant made a mistake taking the doctors notes. I dont even want to mention the times she hit my face manipulating the eye test machine.The date I order my glasses I had also to wait to be seen. Other patients complain about too. The person who saw me was not the most pleasant on customer service I ever seen. They charged me $20.00 more just because I used my own frame and not theirs. Something I never heard of anywhere.This is what I call the Market glasses where the people think theyre going to see an eye doctor but a place where they push you to buy the last model of glasses on the market.I dont think I will come back ever there.

When I got to tge appointment The waiting room was almost standing room only. They changed my Dr visit with a Dr who had only two appointments ahead of me. Awesome!!! I went to see about getting lenses for the glasses I brought with me and the person I went to said I cannot get a prescription in the glasses I had... Then asked where they were from with a smirk. I didnt want to pay $200+ for lenses only. She referred me to the cheap glasses. 🙄 I took my prescription and had the lenses put in my own glasses at another retailer.

Review №66

Violated Continum of Care. The doctor signed a form to verify a disability regarding my Immacular Degeneration which is an incurable disease. I can literally wake up one day with loss of vision. When I returned to update the form I am turned away and referred to my Primary Care. Which is such an uneducated suggestion. Prinary Care doesnt diagnose eye care, they send us to the Eye Doctor.

Gave me the wrong prescription glasses, I fully paid. Came back two months later because I can barely see with this wrong prescription and they charge me fully for a new pair since my insurance doesnt cover two pairs in a year. They said they would rush the order (3 days) since I cant see. Its been a week and they just told me its going to be another week since they messed up.

I’m actually at an eye appointment as I write this review. The doctor is great but the staff is horrible. There’s a lack of empathy. Also, they don’t assist the patient as they should & they speak to their Spanish speaking patients in English without asking if they need translating.

Review №76

Came here because it was the highest rated around me. In the 26 years of eye appointments it was one of if not the worst Ive ever had. I specified I only had contacts when I scheduled. I showed up and they were only going to give me a glasses exam. It took an hour from my scheduled time to even see the Dr. I was rushed through the whole exam, letters were never changed between eyes so it wasnt really an exam since I already saw the letters over and over. Mean while in the exam room other staff was in and out and on their personal mobile devices. The whole experience was not personal feeling at all. The only reason Ill be back is to pick up the contacts I ordered. Do yourself the favor and go anywhere but here, even if you have to travel further.

Review №84

My glasses broke as I was studying for an upcoming large exam. Desperately needing new glasses as quickly as possible, I took a chance as a walk-in patient at Westminster Eyecare. The medical secretary was attentive and accommodating to my dilemma, managing to adapt the days schedule to fit me in for an appointment within just three hours!I needed an eye exam conducted because my eyeglass prescription was over 10 years old. The optometrist, Dr. Sarah Guarascio, was professional, thorough and willingly answered all of my questions. Rosa, the associate that aided me in the selection process of my new glasses, was patient and put all of her effort into helping me find the glasses that best fit my facial structure, while looking stylish and being comfortable. I ordered two sets of glasses - one set was completely covered by insurance, and the other set was a name brand frame, which Rosa was able to discount 50% based on a special promotion.Overall, I would recommend Westminster Eyecare for their friendly environment and caring staff (ask for Rosa when choosing your glasses, shes great)!

Review №85

The place can get crowded and wait time in line is slightly unbearable, but what more could you expect from an office in the middle of the city? Then, once youre in, your appointment goes by quick and the selection of glasses could use improvement. Other than that, the staff there are friendly and able to speak English and Spanish.

Whether you have an appointment or your picking up glasses expect to wait 30-45 min while the employees finish their side conversations. They dont call you anymore when your glasses are ready for pick up. 3 other patients were waiting for pick ups and no one acknowledged them or apologized for the long wait time. Wont be coming back and I suggest anyone find another place for their eye exams and glasses/contacts

I have been going here for about 4 years. All staff i have interacted with have been be3ry professional, pleasant and friendly. I love Dr. Pukl. But i am however disheartened to have just learn she is no longer there. Didnt like the fact i found out after cataract surgery when making follow up appt i was assigned a new Dr. W/o warning. Because i need to be seen this week i will keep the appt see how this new one works out. There is no info on their website about her.

I would give them 0 stars if I could. Most inept optometrists office I have ever been to. If not for their weekend schedule I would have left that office a very long time ago.

I transferred to another Dr and they gave them hell to give them my records, absolutely hell. Dont go there unless you want to aggravated!

Horrible customer service, I was rushed during my exam, I’ve been going to this place for over 3 years, I had enough of this people, I also had an issue, where I lost my prescription and I told them I needed a copy because I wanted to get frames somewhere else so the lady wrote me a wrong prescription, I found my old prescription and the numbers where off by a high margin. That’s horrible they should be professional.
