“I have high praise for Karla in the Vision Center who helped my husband and I with getting our new glasses ordered after updating our prescriptions last Thursday. Karla made sure that everything was properly measured, gave us our options for additional features and the costs associated with them, informed us of the time it would take for our new glasses to arrive, and set us up to get alerts when they were ready for pick-up. She was extremely personable and professional.“
“Dr. Re was amazing , engaging, and extremely nice while answering questions and giving us a ton of advice! He’s very knowledgeable and I definitely recommend.“
“The practice was top notch but the price for glasses was a lot more than I expected. I thought they might have had a senior citizen discount. But no such luck.“
“Excellent staff, I wish I remember the young lady's name who answered the phone. I had the wrong doctors office, she was so helpful she directed me to the right office also found the phone number for me, she just went above and beyond.“
“Love love love Dr Chika however, the optician in her office is umm well my family stopped going. Eventually We’d just take our prescriptions with us …see the Dr and move about.. now we don’t go at all. Not sure if her optical lady took over but she was avoided for a reason. My family of 6 didn’t proceed with any appointments moving forward after our last visit… she hovered the front desk and rudely treated the receptionists. I work in ophthalmology but my kids need an a optometrist so for that alone Dr Chika is great… getting to her.. not so great“
“The ladies here are very friendly and take ample time with you. The glasses arrive quickly and precise. Pretty good selection with a wide variety of prices. The optometrist on duty is great too!Even if you have your exam somewhere else, you should compare pricing with them. They accept most insurances. I saved $300 and was able to get a new pair and replaced my lenses on my old pair, with bifocals, normally this totaled $740“
“My family had a wonderful experience at this location. The staff was welcoming and efficient, Dr. Apple was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough, and the wait time was minimal. We will definitely visit again for our annual exams next year.“
“The Optical Shoppe of La Plata is the finest optical store I have ever done business with. Why? Because its owner, Donna, is a master in her field, an experienced and accomplished optician, trained in the complexities of grinding and properly fitting lenses into eyeglass frames so that you can see well. As someone who has had poor vision since childhood, my eyeglasses havenever been simple to produce, a source of great frustration until I met Donna years ago. I have stayed with her ever since because she is a perfectionist--she always gets everything right the first time around, a rare characteristic among nearly every other optician whom I have ever used. What's more, Donna has a keen sense of cosmetics and would never, for instance, if you have vision like mine, fit you in large eyeglass frames; instead, she would find smaller ones and make sure that you look very attractive in your lightweight eyeglasses. When Donna opened her shop in La Plata, Md. and relocated out of the immediate DC metro area, it was a long drive for me. So she assisted by sending my eyeglasses by USPS, thereby reducing my number of visits; and when I fell seriously ill, she met me half-way to her shop so that I wouldn't have such a long ride. She has always been amenable and eager to help in any way possible. Which brings me to my final observation about Donna: She is a very kind and compassionate individual, someone who cares about her customers and wants them to experience joy and happiness--and for sure they will, especially with her striking and precisely crafted eyeglasses.“
