I've been going to Vincent's Opticians for almost 20 years and have never been disappointed. The optician, Paul, takes his time with you to ensure that you're getting the right frame for your prescription. Unfortunately my insurance didn't cover everything, but Paul was willing to work with me to find something in my budget.
My moms eye doctor recommended Vincent's to get her new prescription and frames and I can see why!
Paul and his staff treated my mom like a rock star/ celebrity. They took their time and made double sure that mom found the best frames for her face shape and that she was 200% confident and satisfied in her choice. Mom has been raving about her glasses ever since! This is where you want to go.
SO Far SO good! I have had soooo many negative experiences with "Vision Centers" in and near my home neighborhood of Bayside, Queens, NY. That includes major negative issues and shady business practices of . . . 1. Cohen's Optical, Bay Terrace Shopping Center, 2. American Vision on Bell Blvd & 3. the last (and worst that I have ever bought from) "Bayside Family Eyecare". .AKA THE "Elmer Fudd" of the eyewear profession! So, when I needed to replace a missing nose pad, I came to this (Vincent's Opticians) shop, after having read all of his glowing reviews. I found that all of those (super-positive) reviews were/are in fact . . ."100% justified!" Paul spent about ten + minutes trying to find a nose pad that would be a good fit. He installed a new nose pad that works well and fits "just right". When he brought them back to me, he then fitted them to my face and adjusted them for the best possible fit. He did all this while maintaining a {sincerely} friendly attitude. When I asked him . . . "Pail, how much do I owe you", he said "NO CHARGE" !!! And then, when I attempted to place a $10.00 bill in the palm of his hand . . . he refused to take it, handed it back to me, and said . . . "I'm glad I was able to help you out". In my opinion - Paul represents the kind of retailer that we ALL WISH FOR - every time we enter a retail store. But . . . we rarely, (if ever) get one! He, Paul, actually did "make my day", (as Clint Eastwood - might say), lol , and in the process of doing so, he also renewed my faith in the "potential" for some (though not many) retail store owners/operators and their young and mostly (clueless * * * especially at Bayside Family Eyecare) employees to service the local community in an honest and straightforward way. THANK YOU PAUL . . . . for restoring my faith and "re-igniting" the "candle of hope" for my fellow Man! PAUL . . you be "TOTALLY EPIC DUDE" . . . as the kids, now-a-days say. :-)
