GoogleI had a great experience with Dr. Ahmadi. Her exam was comprehensive and she explained the plan of care very clearly. She told me that I should wait longer before wearing prescription lenses which I really appreciated. It was clear she had my best interest at heart. The intake process at the office was extremely efficient and not burdensome as it is at other medical offices. The office values your time and adheres to the appointment schedule.
GoogleDr.Ahmadi made my experience amazing and comfortable!
GoogleGreat facility and amazing service!
GoogleWhile I was on vacation, I scratched a lens on my glasses. I found Darien Eyecare and I am very thankful that I did. I went there and met Christine. She was not only able to read my prescription but was able to order a replacement lens within a week. This is a great small business owned by Mary and Woody. The prices are very reasonable and the customer service by everyone was outstanding.
GoogleI cannot say enough good things about this place. The eye doctor is fantastic, took the time to listen to my concerns at my first visit, and I left with the first prescription in years that did not leave me with headaches or other issues. The store staff is friendly, knowledgable, and goes above and beyond to help you find what you need while working within your insurance/price constraints. Highly recommend!
