I would like to give a zero if i could. I was very unsatisfied with the product as well as the service. I work 3 jobs to support my family and yes i do get state insurance and i should NOT be made to feel like i was below you..because trust me i tried to find other places but its very limited. I needed bifocals and was told they will not pay for progressive which i understand so i paid the 70 dollars to get no line i picked the glasses up and they were just handed to me and out the door i was sent, i went to work the next day and tried them but could not see. So i brought them back and was told

My child needed an eye exam to enter kindergarten. I called my insurance to ensure it would be covered, which it was and Metzger was listed as a preferred provider so we chose them. When scheduling, and at the visit, I informed them it was for school enrollment and provided them with the paper that needed to be completed. Apparently the eye exam was billed/coded as a comprehensive eye exam FOR A FIVE YEAR OLD WITH NO PREVIOUS ISSUES. I was billed $135 for the visit even though I went out of my way to check with my insurance and this Optomitrist to ensure I wouldn't get charged an astronomical amount

Wont be back, the lady working there made my 2 year old and husband wait outside even though we would have been socially distanced as according to kentucky regulations. she measured my eyes and held the contraption in the wrong manner pushing against me at the wrong angle, not sure if this affected the quality of my glasses. when arriving to pick up my glasses the lady didnt try to see if they fit well and tried to rush me off. overall rude and treated me different because of my looks prejudice. they didnt even give me a hardcase for my glasses, I asked for one and the woman helping me looked at

This place is HORRIBLE!!!. If you buy glasses from here DO NOT EXPECT ANY HELP AFTER YOU HAVE PAID FOR THEM! The lady at the glasses counter could care less and is not willing to help at all and gives you terrible attitude. The arm fell off of my glasses less than 2 weeks after I bought them and they wouldn't do a thing to help. She pretty much said oh well! Sorry for your luck! So if you buy glasses from here you better not break them or need any help at all! Because this place is absolutely useless after they have your money! If I could give negative stars for this place I would!

What a fantastic experience.. This brought me back to a couple decades ago in my life where customer service, professionalism and friendliness used to be the norm. To say this entire staff went above and beyond what I'm used to in a average doctors visit is an understatement. They made me feel welcomed, taken care of and important as an individual. If your searching out eye care, please give Metzger a try as I know like I was you'll be wow'ed!

My son has his glasses filled at Metzger's and they girls working are always very nice to him and let us take our time picking his new frames. Last time we went to Metzger's though someone told me I would have his glasses in two weeks and when I called to check if they have them they told me it would be at least 2 more weeks. I understand waiting but no one told me about having to get permission from the insurance to get his frames. It's okay though I was still happy with how nice everyone was to us.

My experience must have been unusually bad, but I thought I should add it so that the reviews are more balanced.
I cannot speak to the entirety of the staff of the location, as I didn't get past the waiting area. The person working behind the desk was pretty rude. I filled out the forms as it was my first time. After waiting for about 15 minutes, the lady behind the desk calls me by the wrong name and tells me (in an accusatory tone) my insurance is no good there. I explain that I had called previously and was told my insurance was fine - the location was on a list of providers from my

I have worn glasses for over 40 years, and am EXTREMELY difficult to fit. I have never had such a thorough exam, been treated with such respect, or had every single member of a staff be so friendly.
Can't say enough about how positive the entire experience was!
Just picked up my glasses today, and because the staff took such care in helping me choose the proper style for my lenses (Dr. Julie even gave her opinion!), I couldn't be happier with them! Dr. Julie Metzger is a keeper! FYI I visited the Covington office.
