Every single review for this place, including mine will tell you the same thing. Great friendly doctors, but absolutely terrible when it comes to getting glasses. Do not buy glasses from them.

Great place to get eye exams, but DO NOT buy glasses from them. They overcharge by a huge amount. Just take their prescription and buy it online. Glasses that they sell for $450 after insurance cost $90 for same frame and BETTER lenses.

I went there because they are open Saturdays and it was convenient. I was so impressed with Dr Rust and so was my husband that he changed his eye insurance so he could go and see him. He got his glasses back in less time than they had originally said. We love Dr Rust.

I'm 30 years old now, and have been wearing glasses since I was 4. Eye doctors have been a part of my life as long as I can remember, but none have been as awesome as Dr. Sam Winston. Dr. Sam actually cares about me as a patient, and takes the time to explain everything and actually listen to my concerns or input. The whole office staff is pleasant to deal with, AND they can do an exam without having to dilate your eyes! I'm so glad I found this group, and wouldn't hesitate recommending them to anyone!

We see Dr. Rust and he has been nothing but personable and knowledgeable. He’s easy to get into and really explains your diagnosis. Which is very important while dealing with our 8 year old who eyes are growing and changing. He has treated me and my husband. Ordering glasses and contacts has been super easy. The reason for 4 stars is it seemed like they didn’t have a lot of options of glasses for youth. They do carry baby glasses if that’s needed. They had tons for adults.

I've worn glasses my whole life and made the decision to finally get contacts. Terri took the time to show me how to take them in and out and coached me through the same process. It helped me sooo much. I felt so comfortable through the whole exam. Their frame selection is really nice as well if you need new frames.

I've been coming here since I was a kid (nearly 40 years) and I have always been treated well, never remember a very long wait. I wear contacts and they always have them in stock. They also have a machine that scans the eye so for a little extra you can even avoid the drive home with dialated pupils. I highly recommend them and I would never go anywhere else. Love these guys!

Doctor were great but not their Optometrists. I waited almost 2 months for my glasses. I called them after 3 weeks and they said they will call me back later, they never did call me back, I have to call them again. They keep telling me it will be here next week or it will be here soon and it just keep getting later and later. So don't expect your glasses any time soon.

The only positive thing I can say about this place is that the receptionists are kind. Doctors run 1hr+ behind schedule, then rush during the exam and treat the patient with little respect. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Do not waste your time or money.

I've been coming here for years, a decade or more. Love these guys! I even referred friends and family and they have all had equally pleasant experiences. If you let the receptionist know that you have limited time, they can work with you to get an appointment not during their busiest hours. Everyone here is pleasant and I feel as though the doctors take better care of my eyes than at your mall/retail locations.
