Target Optical

I had an eye exam and frame-​fitting here. Although my Rx didn’t change from last year, Dr. Patel suggested I try the High Def lenses… and I love them! My glasses arrived about a week later. They look good on me and fit my face. I’ve gotten compliments from coworkers and friends.
FYI: If the dilation drops burn you may have Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. When I had the drops at this location, they burnt like a son of a gun, so I went to a Dry Eye clinic a couple of weeks later and was diagnosed with the above. Knowing this, I can save the future of my sight by taking therapeutic action now. Sensitive eyes are not normal FYI.

Dr. Patel is great! I arrived a little late for my appointment and they still got me in. Dr Patel gave a very thorough exam and provided helpful information on what the various tests were for. I have posterior vitreous detachment in my right eye and Dr. Patel made sure to check for problems with retina.
Best optometrist I have seen.
The sales floor was also very helpful. They picked out some styles for new frames and were helpful rather than pushy.
Great experience.

Appointment made easily & all was on time etc. Great experience.. I was disappointed that ordering contacts is a pain so I went to get a copy of my script & whoa! Rude rude rude. It’s MY prescription. I don’t need attitude. Probably won’t go back. Unfortunately. .it left THAT bad an impression.

I literally have no idea what Daniel X is talking about. I think he’s confused about which office he went too because the staff was anything but pushy. I had an extremely pleasant experience upon arriving 20 minutes late and still being completely accommodated.
Dr. Patel was friendly and knowledgable and it was quick and easy. The girl who helped me pick out my glasses (wish I could remember her name) was just the right amount of helpful. She didn’t push me and helped me compare prices after I picked out a few frames. All the staff were super nice and talkative which I appreciate. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat. The prices are lower than most and I got a discount with my AAA membership!
Also, I called on Monday and got an appointment for Wednesday — way quicker than Costco that had a 2 week wait. Give Dr. Patel and Target Optical a chance!

Even though I did not purchase glasses here at the end I was given very good customer service by Tad. Pretty funny guy and down to earth. Answered all my questions and thanks to him I became more educated on the different type of lenses. (Most shops offer the same type of lenses but with different names). At the end with insurance I was better off purchasing a name brand at LensCrafters but I will refer friends with no insurance to come here for the discounts.

Have not received my glasses yet but I was just there 2 business days ago, but I wanted to review Dr. Patel and the staff. for 10 years I have been jerked around by optometrists and their offices, this is the first AMAZING experience I’ve had. Dr. Patel was helpful and VERY informative. the staff was amazing and very clear on how to use my benefits.

I have a new job, new insurance, and weakening vision so I made an appointment with Dr. Patel. Boy, was I pleasant ly surprised! He is efficient, personable, and very encouraging! I was very impressed by his demeanor and plan to become a permanent patient of his. He operates out of the Target at Spectrum mall, which is close and has convenient office hours. The office staff is pleasant and the frame selection is affordably priced. My glasses were ready in a week; overall, the experience has been stellar :)

Dr. Patel is quick and professional, which is as much as I can ask of an optometrist.
The crew out front are like used car salesmen, though. I wasn’t particularly interested in new frames and told them this from the outset, but they pushed for me to browse, and then did that obnoxious hovering move that salespeople do. When I didn’t find anything, they suggested that I get sunglasses instead. «Optical Technician» is a misnomer for these folks — they’re mostly there to push Foster Grants.
They also insisted that not using my insurance to get new frames is just «leaving money on the table» which isn’t true — no carrier forces you to buy glasses from the same place you’re examined.

Update on my experience with Target Optical:
Since my recent bad experience Dr. Patel himself has been going above and beyond to finding me the right fit for my contacts. He contacted me himself to have me come back and followed up with my eye exam.
My updated review is strictly for Dr Patel himself. I will be going to Target for Dr Patel only. I do recommend anyone looking of an eye doc then to schedule with him, but make sure you verify that the appointment will be with him. You won’t be disappointed.

Dr. Patel was very helpful and explained everything every step of the way very clearly. He asked if I had any questions a few times. After my exam I was helped by Laryssa, who was super helpful and explained all the promotions that were happening. I’m terrible at making decisions and I didn’t feel rushed at all. Amazing services and they have a great selections. I even got a pair of shades!
While I was being taken care of there was another woman being help by another associate who was going through about 20 different pairs of frames. The associate seemed super patient and helpful as well.
Everyone working there seem to enjoy it and were all very knowledgeable.

I bought my glasses a little over 3 months ago at this Target Optical. I’m not one to go into one of the bigger chains, with all those frames and make a decision, so Target was perfect. They have the latest styles, and the girl that was helping me gave me some good feedback. Now fast forward a little over 3 months, and I somehow got a scratch in the middle of my lens. I stopped at Target to get my glasses tightened, and ask them about the scratch. The gentleman that was helping me, looked up my records and told me I was just beyond my 90 days, however he would honor the warranty, and fix my lens for free! He could have easily told me my warranty had run out, and I would need to pay, but he didn’t. And that made my day! I would recommend this store for frames!

I can’t say enough good things about this office– after a hellish nightmare with eyeglass world, i got on the target optical website booked an appointment online for that same day. got to the office-​the front desk staff was amazingly friendly, they got me back right away, dr ziff (?) very was friendly and thorough, and my exam was done in 15 minutes! i wasn’t planning on buying glasses there and they gave me my prescription with no pressure or hassle– i would definitely recommend this office!

The service here is TERRIBLE! Right from the beginning, every aspect of my experience there was painful!
I went in for an exam and glasses, and the doctor there was very uncaring. She mumbled most of the way through and really rushed me out.
When it came time to choose a frame, one of the attendants would not leave me alone. She seemed to be rushing me too and talking over me to point out frame after frame.
Finally, when I found one I liked, she sat me down to sell me lenses. However, instead of just explaining the options one by one, she focused on the type of lens first and, with complete immaturity, stressed over and over again how «clear» they were. She said that they DIDNT HAVE ANY GLARE, that they were perfect! She was like the worst kind of used car salesman– blatantly over the top without actually giving any information. After some time, a clerk in the back piped up and said that they were actually the lenses that get dark in the sunlight, and that she was WRONG.
And although they said they’d call me after a couple of weeks, I ended up calling THEM after nearly a MONTH in order to check the status! The woman said, «Oh, they just arrived today!» which just has to be a complete lie.
Lastly, when I finally got my glasses, I discovered that they had a tremendous amount of glare, despite all the hype, and that it would be $ 80 extra if I wanted no glare. I was livid.
To sum it up, the staff here is very childish, uncaring, and unprofessional, and they really lack basic understanding of their own products. I am never coming back, and I advise you to steer clear.

Had an eye exam a couple days ago and I have to say the best I’ve had in a while. When my eye doctor retired 10 years ago I thought I’d never like another doctor, til now. I’ve been to many places and finally found an eye doc that knows what he’s doing! I ordered ray ban prescription sunglasses and can’t wait til they come in. The have an awesome assortment of ray bans and the girl helping was fantastic !!

Wow!!! I’ve never had such a great experience getting an eye exam. The front desk staff were fun and friendly, and the doctor was quick and knowledgeable. I am thoroughly impressed with this office.
