The girls at Stanton were amazing
The girls at Stanton were amazing! I broke my glasses and had to come from an hour away to see if I could get new glasses. They got me in immediately and started helping me. I was in and out with 2 brand new pairs of glasses within 30 min and my glasses were ready in less than an hour. I would definitely recommend!

Brenda is a gem
Your office is very comfortable and you have a lot of product. I am a senior and the thing that made my experience a 5 out of 5 was the person who assisted me named Brenda. She gave me old fashioned customer service. She was very cheerful and fun to be with but more than that she was so knowledgeable and answered all my questions quickly. She provided great service during both visits.

The staff at Stanton are so helpful
The staff at Stanton are so helpful, they truly do things for you and your needs. Not pushy not trying to up-sale. just genuinely great people trying to help you with your eyes. I loved that the manager took extra steps into finding me my exact pair of glasses that I already broke. I was thrilled! Great job everyone definitely coming back with family!

Lacking attention to detail...
I work in healthcare so I completely understand that things don't always go as planned, but I've just about had it with this office making mistakes. I booked an appt for a contact lense prescription but instead they just did a glasses exam. Thankfully I caught it while they were reviewing my prescription with me but I then had to redo the entire exam, despite nothing seeming to change. Then when I went to order my contacts from Costco, they rejected my order because I wear Acuvue 1-day Moist and they wrote the Rx for Acuvue Oasys 1-Day. I could see how this might be a common error, however, I have had my eye exams done at this location for the last 2-3 years and a simple review of my previous Rx would have prevented this error. I'm just asking for a little attention to detail here. I've spend over 3 hours getting this Rx and I'm still waiting for the optometrist to switch the Rx to the correct contact brand. We are all busy and do not have time to be correcting mistakes that are preventable.

We hope to have the opportunity to better serve you in the future.
