Super nice staff and excellent customer service. I went there for a consult and a repair and they fixed my glasses within 5 minutes without even charging me. They also have a very nice selection designer and also generic frames. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to get treated with outstanding customer service and shop for a nice pair of glasses!! Gale was the one who helped me and is super super nice, along with the support staff at the front.

I have been going to Advanced Eyecare for the last 9 years, and always have a great experience. Eye exams are never rushed, and Dr. Hay always takes the time to explain things thoroughly. Staff is friendly and professional.

I went in for a regular eye exam towards the end of the day last week. Cassandra, Gale, and Pascal were friendly. Their service was timely and professional. All of my questions were answered thoroughly, and I was in-and-out with almost no wait time.
