They are very unorganized and are bad at communication. Would not spend money at a place with this sort of poor service.

Is this place still open? I just showed up for an appointment I had made several weeks ago, during regular business hours, and no one was there. The lights were off and the clinic was locked up. No one answered the phone. A complete waste of my time, which is significant because I had to leave work to come here.

Edit: in response to the reply below, no. I went to the right location. The name on the door said Austin Eye Studio and it's located inside and adjacent to the grocery store. That is the location that was closed, with no one answering the phone number (512) 953-5838. You walk by

Dr. Simonek and optician Lori are awesome. I'm super sensitive to corrective lenses and have some unusual eye issues and Austin Eye Studio took extra time with me and went the extra mile to get my glasses and contacts right.

We got off on a rocky start due to the fact my glasses weren’t delivered on time due to a miss communicated expectation. However, once delivered they were in absolute great condition, and they made sure everything was communicated clearly after that.
Overall great experience will definitely be visiting them again for my optic care needs!

Dr. Simonek and her staff took great care of me recently when I was experiencing pain and redness in one eye. Not only were they able to work me into their schedule, but Dr. Simonek provided professional and personal care as well as immediate relief and help me feel better. I will definitely be returning as a regular patient for any of my eye care needs.

The entire staff was exceptionally welcoming and the eye exam itself was a new level of care. The Dr. took time to explain to me the various aspects of my vision and crafted a perfect combination of contact lenses to help me see well. I am amazed by the level of beauty I can now witness in even the smallest flower or detail of my loved ones face.

Dr. Simonek is the most charismatic provider I've ever had. She explains everything so thoroughly from the imaging to insurance benefits. Caroline was remarkably patient performing the tests on my flinchy eyes. Overall the staff here goes above and beyond to give you an amazing experience. I'm so excited to go back and pick up my glasses=)

Wow, best experience I have ever had. She took more time than any other Optometrist ever did. I have a bit of a hard time with the eye tests and she was so patient with me.
Her pleasant attitude is infectious and her office staff made it a seamless and pleasant process.
I am so happy I chose this office! Don’t let the location fool you, having it in H‑E‑B made it so convenient. Got my eye appointment and grocery shopping in one trip !

By far the best eye doctor I have ever been to. She takes time to fully examine your eye health and truly cares about you. The lady's at the front had some of the finest customer service I have ever experienced. I'm so lucky to have found her and will continue to go here in the future.

Dr. Simonek and her team at Austin Eye Studio are absolutely fabulous! Everything about their operation is top notch. I've experienced great customer service, professional and thorough examinations, questions answered, procedures explained, extreme care taken to ensure proper fit of new glasses, and much more. I can not recommend Dr. Simonek and Austin Eye Studio enough.

Dr. Simonek is the best! I didn't realize how bad my eyesight was until I went there. Everyone was friendly and I got my glasses very fast. You can tell that she really does care. Highly recommend!

This office gets 5-stars alone for all their precautions taken during the pandemic. It took a few tries to get an appointment, with all the restrictions, but the admin/eye technician kept me up to date and made sure I had my appointment secure and settled. All my interactions with her were very pleasant and easy. They made sure to only schedule one patient at a time (they were strict with overlap) and everything looked well sanitized/we all took the time to wash our hands thoroughly.

Dr. Simonek was upbeat, informative, and patient. Some of the new technology they used I had never come across

Dr. Simonek is the best eye doctor I've been to since my eye surgery. Not only is Dr. Simonek fantastic, her staff is also. Austin Eye Studio cares about there clients 100 percent. I was amazed after I left today. Any friends and family I am referring to come here.

This is the place to go, I know I will tell people this is the best place in Austin. I haven't been to a check up in several years and I am so glad I went to Austin Eye Studio. Dr. Simonek is the only eye doctor I will see from this point on.

If you want to see an eye doctor who truly cares about patients and is an expert

I found Austin Eye Studio through my new insurance and chose them based on their convenientocation.

From my initial call to picking up my new glasses I always felt like I was in good hands.

I called and made my appointment with Lori. My glasses broke and newly enrolled in my new insurance plan with no insurance card. Despite that Lori worked with me over the phone to track down my insurance info and explain my benefits. Whew! So relieved! Made my appointment.

Appointment day! When I arrived Lori & Dr. Emily were very welcoming. I filled out my paperwork, was promptly taken over for preliminary

Dr. Simonek was very thorough but also very efficient. She's the first optometrist that has been able to show me pictures of the inside of my eyes. I like how she assured me my eyes are healthy! I was able to get a polarized prescription pair of Ray Ban for $105 with my health insurance. Great deal! Super happy customer! She goes above and beyond to make sure clients are satisfied. Highly recommended.

If there was a way to give this business no stars I would. Next call BBB

Awful, we were bullied, hung up on and they "held up our authorisation" so that we couldn't see another doctor. Huge headache, extremely unprofessional, less than transparent and dishonest.. . Buyer beware, these folks are mean, do not give them your insurance number or a credit card as they will put you through what i went through.

Iciing on the cake? These are our neighbours, we live across the street. Well I will make sure that everyone I know and even my casual acquaintances at the HEB the folks that

Amazing customer service. I left very satisfied with my appointment with some samples of potential new contacts and ordered some really cute glasses at a very fair price. She was so helpful and kind! Gave me several pairs of contacts to test out and gave me some temporary sunglasses so that outside wasn't to bright for my eyes after being dilated! I will definitely be going backZ

This office is wonderful. They have all of the cutting edge technology (no more eye puff!!) and care about offering their patients the best. I really like everyone there. They are helpful, intelligent, and kind. I'm super excited about the beautiful glasses I bought with digital lenses (which are the best for terrible vision like mine.)

I'll be back!

Great place to get your annual eye exam. They have a great selection of eyeglasses in addition to sunglasses. Being Asian, I always have a hard time finding a pair of frame that would fit my face structure. I was able to find a pair here! The staff and Doctor are knowledgable and definitely not pushy; they took time to address questions and carried a pleasant demeanor. Their soundtrack is a plus too!
