I have been going to Dr. Guappone since 2014, and he continues to amaze me with his thoroughness and top-of-the-line testing abilities within his office. My vision problems are very challenging and unique. I feel he goes above and beyond to make sure nothing is over-looked to ensure my eye health stays the best it can be. I highly recommend Dr. Guappone for all your eye heath and vision needs.

It's been 2 years since I've been back, and 4 years since my last review of HPO and the care I received today was just as stellar as it was the first time.
Dr. Guappone is the epitome of old-school style doctoring (where the doctor spends time with you, as much time as needed, listens and genuinely cares about you ) with best in class testing capabilities.
There is simply no other doctor I trust to care for my vision health.
Thank you to the woman who filled out my out-of-network document in its entirety for me to submit to my insurance company.

Dr. Guappone is an absolutely wonderful optometrist. He takes time with patients and explains things thoroughly and with visuals. I was a chronic dry eye sufferer and he provided me with some eye drops that have changed my life. His expertise in contact lenses led me to custom contacts that have eliminated all discomfort. He is an incredible physician that I would highly recommend!

This is my favorite optometrist in the city! Dr Guappone does contact fittings that have changed the way I buy and care for my contacts. I had no idea my eyes could feel this good. His office is in hyde park in a converted house and that gives his office a homey feel. Don't be fooled, he has some fancy equipment that maps your eyeball shape (for contact wearers) and the eye exam is fast and painless.

OK, so after getting my eyes checked, I got 10 pairs of lenses, and tried them out. One was not too comfortable because of astig. I went back, got checked, and the Dr. told me why the astig lens can cause some discomfort, but that it appears to be healthy. He said I could try a different astig lens, or a non-astig lens. So I got 10 pairs of lenses where the right eye is non-astig, and I'll let him know which I prefer, or if I'd prefer to try another. Bottom line is, this guy really does his job, as a Dr., to make sure you get something that is healthy for your eye, and something

Dr. G is absolutely wonderful. I have had many issues with my eyes over the years and he has helped me so much. He spent almost an hour with me after my most recent episode and made sure he went over every detail until I felt comfortable. I am so thankful that he is such a wonderful and caring doctor and took to time to make sure I felt okay before I left his office. I can't say enough about how wonderful, and attentive he is.

Dr Guappone is one of the most knowledgeable eye doctors I've ever used. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is i always have to wait 20-30 minutes to get in. The timeliness here is a bit off, but just plan accordingly and you'll get one of the best eye doctors around! I'm consistently blown away at how knowledgeable he is and how much care he gives his patients.

I have had issues with dry eyes for the past three years which resulted in be not being able to wear contacts. No optometrist I went to could get me into a brand that was comfortable for more than two hours. I looked up this place and noticed they were contact lens specialists. Thought I would give it a shot. I am so, so happy I did. I am back in contact lenses again with no irritation at all. The staff was friendly and the doctor was beyond knowledgeable about the latest and greatest products. I will definitely be a repeat patient for years to come.

UPDATE: I received a phone call from HPO a few hours after I posted this. I informed the woman who called me that I "didn't have a very good customer experience" when I'd called a second time to schedule an appointment, and so I was going to get an appointment elsewhere. "Okay," she said before hanging up. No curiosity about what the issue was or how she might be able to make things right. This speaks volumes to me. The comment left below by HPO doesn't mean much in light of two negative experiences with two separate, equally apathetic members of staff.

I've been here twice in the past couple of years and Dr. Guappone is very friendly and informative, explaining every step of the way what he's doing and why, and making suggestions on how to alleviate any eye issues/symptoms. The only negative is that the selection of frames, while decent, isn't really for the glasses fashionista such as myself :-p Which isn't a reflection on the practice nor competence, so I wouldn't deduct any stars for that. As Brandi explained, some brands (like my favorite Chanel) simply won't offer their styles to certain practices/stores unfortunately

In 20 years of seeing ophthalmologists I've never seen someone this methodical, attentive and thorough. He explained to me what the issue was and how it was caused by eye functionality in a way that made sense and was easy to understand. He didn't rush me or try to get rid of me quickly - he took his time and he was definitely worth my time!!

This was my first visit to the eye doctor that I can remember. So why did I go? Well I thought I was going blind.... Apparently I was having an ocular migraine. The staff was extremely helpful in determining if something more serious was going on while I was talking to them on the phone. When I arrived at the office, Dr. Guappone was extremely informative explaining the inner workings of my eyes and what exactly an ocular migraine is. I would definitely recommend him to someone who is looking for an Optometrist.

Dr. Guappone is my new hero. I have never in my life had a health professional spend so much time with me. Instead of making me feel like an imposition, Dr. G made me feel like a special guest in his office.sat there half expecting to be offered a cup of tea and some scones. My eye exam was thorough, and I was given a ton of information on how to improve my eyesight through exercises and better computing habits. I would go back just for fun if my insurance covered it.
Update: I ended up buying 3 pair of glasses with the help of Brandi. She is truly the Queen of finding glasses that suit a
