When I came to my appointment, I was asked multiple times if I was using insurance, I said yes, yet nobody stopped to tell me that my insurance plan was not accepted here. After my exam and I was purchasing my glasses, the saleswoman again did not tell me that my insurance was not accepted. The price was then given and I asked if that was the price after the insurance, to which the woman answered yes, it would have been even more with insurance. I was asked to pay almost $500 for simple reading glasses, not knowing that my insurance was not considered in the price. I was grossly misinformed throughout the purchasing process in terms of cost. Luckily it was easy to cancel my order and I ended up purchasing my glasses elsewhere.

Dr. Nguyen was fantastic. She answered all my questions, checked my glasses to make sure they were still the correct prescription. She recommended a new brand of contact lenses that feel 100% more comfortable than the AcuVues Ive been wearing for 20+ years. I did have to learn a new way to remove the new lenses, but it is totally worth it. Highly recommend her.

Dr. Gidlund is awesome--so awesome that I still drive to Columbia to see her even though I live all the way in the middle of Baltimore City these days. She is *excellent* about patient education, as well as extremely knowledgeable and personable. The office staff and technicians are friendly, professional, and thorough.

Dr Nguyen has always been my go to optometrist. She professional and explains your exam in a step by step so you clearly understand any vision issues you have concerns about. I value her skills and time spent in performing eye exams.

Dr. Gidlund is extremely pleasant, knowledgeable, and helpful - always. Ive been going to her for years for my somewhat complicated eye issue and plan to never go elsewhere unless she does. :-)

Dr. Delgado and her staff are great, and I highly recommend them.

Review №25

My experience was excellent, to say the least. The Doctor because of his diligence and attention to detail, was able to find a discrepancy in my prescription from another Doctor. I have always been happy with my care at Columbia Eye Care.

Review №26

My insurance prefers other providers most likely because it cheaper to them. But not all experiences are equal and for 2 years I suffered from inferior prescriptions. So it was nice to return to Columbia Eye Care to see Doctor Melissa Gidlund again. She prescribed sunglasses to me 2+ years ago that are still better than those I received for 2 years at a boutique store.While it was busy and some staff were being trained overall the initial screening process was pleasant and professional. They also have some of the latest technology which again the boutique dealer lacked.As for the Doctor Melissa Gidlund, she took extra time to examine me and explain in an easy manner the results. She made the whole experience pleasant. Highly recommend Columbia Eye Care and also recommend that when scheduling try to get Doctor Gidlund though I am confident the other doctors are also good she is wonderful.Oh, EyeMasters (which my insurance will not cover as they prefer Target...I what the Target?) is great, professional and quick to provide glasses. It was nice not being that I had to come back in 2-3 weeks to pickup glasses as EyeMasters can make them on the spot for you.Thanks to everyone for helping me see better!

Dr. Gidlund is the best. Knowledgeable, thorough, still manages to give individual attention despite the time crunch to see so many patients in a small amount of time!!

Absolutely great care and expertise.

Review №36

No wait time. Well cleaned and spatial distancing was well managed. The only reason you did not get 5 stars was because your receptionist had her mask under her nose. In front of her was the sign on how to properly wear your mask.

Dr. Gidlund was amazing. She explained everything to me during my eye exam as she was going step by step. Made sure to explain some very technical things going on with my eye in a way that I could understand them. Showed me images of my eye and pointed to different areas of my eye and explained what the picture might be indicating in terms of eye health etc. This is definitely the best eye exam experience Ive had. Ill left with so much more understanding​ about my eyes and what they look like...and Ive. been getting eye exams for 13 years!

Dr. Gidlund is the absolute best optometrist out there. She helped me with specialty bifocals, and she also helped provide the best prescription for my 16 year old son.

Gl
Review №74

Not exactly a high rating, is it? Frankly, it was a two-part experience. It is my opinion (as well as the opinion of the store management at LensCrafters), that I was robbed of $69 for an eye exam that should have been processed through my insurance. He said that this will be used as a teaching moment for the staff at Columbia Eye Care. What it taught me, of course, is that Ill take my eye exam business somewhere else the next time. I wont hold my breath waiting for an explanation. As for the LensCrafters staff....they were really very good.

The eye exam and staff there were GREAT. The staff and service at the LensCrafter glasses part were AWFUL. I am sorry I cant give five stars for the one and one star for the other. Go to the eye exam place, but take your script somewhere other than then LensCrafter part.
