After an eye injury this is the only place I trust with my eye care, they can fit you in, if it's an emergency.

Had to order replacement frames for safety glasses was told $59 and one week to get them delivered. I get a call 12 days later and told the price is now $79. I informed them i wouldnt have paid that so they offer $10 off. I couldnt believe it. Made me wait an additional 5 days for the wrong price then insult me over $10? Train your staff better on pricing and honour your word. My advice is get a quote in writing or an email sent. Lesson learnt.

I was referred to the Optometry Clinic of Stoney Creek by a close friend and finally decided to make an appointment. Upon first impressions, the lady at the door was very polite, offered me some hand sanitizer and asked me a few questions that were covid related. I thought it was lovely to see them following protocols and doing their part to ensure everyone's safety. Once I was inside, the receptionist was very friendly and got my account all set up. I did not have to wait long before I was called in to do my eye exam, which was done on time. This was convenient for me as I had to go back to work

I had an appointment in June 2020. I felt so comfortable because this office was so clean and has many protocols in place to protect from COVID-19. I never felt that I was at any risk at all. Dr. Felicia De Rubeis was very patient and informative, she explained things to me in detail so I could understand. The staff helped me choose the perfect pair of glasses.

First time here, I came in to see Dr. George De Rubeis for what turned out to be a scratched cornea. End to end a fantastic experience, from the front desk staff finding me a quick appt to leaving with a prescription and dark plastic shades to protect my dilated pupils. George was both professional and friendly and didn't rush anything. Coming back for my next eye test even though it's less convenient than where I've gone before.
