I thoroughly enjoyed this place! Everyone was so kind and welcoming. Dr. Wells was so kind and thorough with her exam. Last time I went to Stanton optical, the guy accused me of just “wanting” to have glasses, even though my eyes are constantly focusing and refocusing/straining. I called as soon as DOC opened, Mark was so patient and able to get me a same day appointment! When I came in, the woman at the front desk was already getting my paperwork ready and was so kind. The next woman with the colorful hair (sorry I can’t recall her name) was super kind and funny! Even the selection of glasses was outstanding and the last woman to help me was so kind and comforting!!! They even gave me a free sample of eye drops to help with the issue. Even later on when I called back, Mark was able to email me my prescription with ease and was still just as kind. Thank you DOC for setting the bar high for outstanding service and compassion!
