“Went to this clinic today November 12, 2024 to see if they would do a "fitting" of my new glasses that I received today thru USPS that the VA sends me each year after my eye exam. I figured to try this route instead of going to the Minneapolis VA hospital to have the glasses fitted trying to save gas money. The VA told me clinics like this one would do fittings either for free or charge a small fee to veterans. This clinic doesn't charge a fee. :)
With that said. Once I entered the clinic was greeted by a nice young lady. This place had a few customers at the time, but I waited my turn and as a military retiree has time to "kill". Lol. Anywho, I waited maybe 20 mins for someone to fit my glasses. They did a good job at it and my glasses fit nicely on my face.
The young lady who did the fitting told me that they give a 30% military discount for cutting lens, and frame purchases which would come in handy. As the VA only gives out one pair of glasses each year. So, in essence if I break, lose, etc. these glasses then I must pay out of pocket for another pair. I asked her if they would establish a record at their business for future needs. All in all the experience was nice and professional felt welcomed as well. Would recommend to fellow veterans.“
“Dr Will was a great time and very knowledgeable. He was cracking me up with all his canned jokes, and also was real, authentic, and efficient with the exam.“
“Thida and Chris are miracle workers. I was having eye lid surgery the following day and I had wear contacts but do to my surgery I’m unable to wear them. I lost my glasses and these ladies helped me and expedited my glasses to receive them 3 days later and 1 day after surgery. Exceptional customer service and going out of your way for the customer. Will definitely return.“
“I highly recommend Dr. Bjore. She is thorough, courteous, very professional. She cares about her patients.“
