Consistent Quality
As always, the opticians annual review was excellent and comprehensive with sound advice to follow. The frame choice was so easy, I just left it to the staff and their choice was better than mine! Its the main reason we return every year its a quality experience.

Everyone was caring and very professional. After a retinal migraine I was offered a next day appointment.

Faulty hearing aids repaired but still faulty
Went for Hearing check and testing. My current aids were not working properly so sent away for a full service and check. Very grateful that I was loaned a demo pair of aids whilst mine were away for 2 weeks. Unfortunately when I collected my own aids they were faulty and would not pair with Blue tooth on my phone. Returned to audiologist and despite many efforts over some time, they could not pair the aids. I was again loaned demo aids and mine have been sent back, so another two weeks without them. A downside of this audiology service is that they are not at the branch very often, on the positive side the staff are very friendly and helpful.
