The customer service was terrible
The customer service was terrible. I asked questions and literally had a young lady walk right away from me when I asked her why the same frames for $100 less online than I paid in the Store store she just tells me well there’s different prices online and walked away from me. Nobody asked me if I was comfortable with the way my glasses fit. My glasses were later than I was told they were going to be and basically they just didn’t care. It was horrible and I never go back ever ever ever and I would never recommend anyone else to go there either.

I would give Stanton Optical 10 stars if I could. After a horrendous experience at America’s Best, including a 3 week waiting period to hear back about my contact order, Stanton not only had a same day visit available but also got my order processed with extra trial contacts within 5 days of my initial appointment. I couldn’t recommend them more to anyone who is on the go and has very little time for BS.

I'm sorry I forgot the reps name I want to say Melissa. She was amazing and very patient with me. My insurance was through a temp service so not very known. I called other places who wouldn't even call to get my coverage. She explained everything very thorough and clear. My tech who did my exam before I met with the Dr was nice as well. I want to say Aaron. I'm kicking myself you would think for a good review you would remember the names. My appt was almost a month ago. I picked up my glasses yesterday around 6:50. I expected to be in and out since they close at 7. They didn't rush , took their time to explain the progressive lens, and made sure I read the correct passage . Will definitely be back
