They've never used foul language, which has bothered me at some of the other places I've been too. They always make an extra effort to be polite and courteous. The staff was very helpful no matter how many times I called with a question or concern. They never made me feel uncomfortable for asking any question. Their eye equipment was state-of-the-art and really sophisticated. It's so much better than other optometrists I've been to. Their office was nice and quiet. I was worried it would be overly loud but it was fine. I was very satisfied with my visit. They were helpful and I left feeling encouraged.

Whenever I have a question, even if it's very basic, they always make me schedule an appointment, which is extremely frustrating. I love that they never cancel their appointments last minute here. I was glad that they were located in a safe neighborhood. There is very rarely a long wait. However, I ended up spending quite a bit for my visit. They were very expensive compared to other practices. I did not receive proper care or treatment. I was told one solution for a problem, yet when I continued coming in saying the problem was not going away, there were no other recommendations and no one advised me to make another appointment, nor was I informed of any other available treatment. When I called frustrated and ready to switch doctors, I was treated poorly and they talked to me like a four year old. I'd followed Dr. Malara from Lencrafters when he opened Malara eyecare to stay loyal. I was very disappointed that after twelves years of being a loyal patient and paying higher prices to stay with them, I was treated disrespectfully and expected to diagnose my own eye problems without any kind of alternative recommendation or informing me of any kind of treatment. When I called to switch doctors and get information for the new doctor, they were rude, sarcastic, uncaring and telling me I should have made aother appointment if the problem still existed, which I did and they did not have record of. I was told to treat it one way and after four or five more complaints that the problem was still persisting, no one cared to give me an alternative suggestion. I switched eye doctors and they began treating me for the actual problem the very first day.
