Experiance ForEver

I went today for vision check. The lady on the reception wellcome me with the theory that if my previous aye doctor give me expired medications is not big of a deal. She tells me that it not such a problem/mistake and if I actually used expired drops NOTHING will happen! Especially because they were expired only for 6 monts. She insisted that is not a big thing and even if I use it, will not be harmful for me!!! But in the end added,"I suppose your aye doctor shouldve not given you expired medications". The measuring aparats were old. The reception lady which was a nurse make the first chech and tell me that I am "Not very good,but she have seen worse!", make me feel very uncomfortable,during the 2 checks she did, Almost making me believe that I became blind since my last aye chech (2weeks ago) In conclusion after minute she tells me that I better have my glasses all the time because I dont see anything at all! New glasses that they offer,and i felt very uncomfortable here,i wanted to get over The exame,already knowing that i have to find a better doctor, a better specialist who takes my ayes seriously. The doctor, did followed exactly the nurse advise. She did make very superficial exame with the lenses and in conclusion tell me that I have myopic view of -4,5 to boout ayes, prescribing me glasses and requesting me to see their options immediately. While che was doing the exam i felt so imbaresed that i wanted to walk away,but I felt unable to do so (I was ashamed and imbaresed). But I had aye check about 2 weeks ago with onother specialist, whom accurately check my vission and I had -2,25and -1,95. Honestly I personally see the different vision ability of my ayes. But this clinic couldnt notice that. The doctors said that the glasses they prescribe me will make me feel very uncomfortable first weeks,but I will get used to IT! And after they give me a glass prescription telling me that if I use it in onother optic,I shell after bring them to adjusts the glasses, that they will adjust them for free,insisting few times,making me feel like I am pressed and constricted to do as she says! They charge my insurance 125$(-25), and make me pay 2$! It was terrible and not professional services and I just wanted to live, but I had to wait for the doctor to sign the paper and in this time the nurse come back and try to make me buy some lenses 85$ starting price(in the other optics the lenses start from 45$)....Just felt not like humen,but a sheep to which they try to sell glasses in a very arrogant and shameful way....I felt so imbaresed and uncomfortable and I share it here, in order to safe to someone my same experience. I believe that when we go to doctor is to pay for solving a problem and making us choose what by hour personal opinion will fit us best, make us see better and feel more comfortable,not a business where you are pressed by rediculas speeches and actions. I share this in order to prevent other persons to have that same shame as I did.

I really liked American Vision Center in Littleton, so when we moved to Denver, I started going to that location. Staff seems like they are ready to fall asleep or are bored and then give attitude about any question that requires any effort on their part. Ive gotten two different pairs of glasses from them and each time they were wrong. The last time I was told I could bring them in to get corrected any time. When I tried to get them corrected, they said I could only do it within the first two months. This is after I had talked to one doctor and two receptionists and had never heard this policy. Completely disorganized and unprofessional which leads to extra money and time.

An alright location, nothing special. (You need to be amazing to get 5 stars.) I forewarn people that it will be typical: dont expect to be able to call and have your information readily available or to have clear explanations at hand. And while they have never been rude, I also dont find them asking me for my input. Yes, I have high standards when paying people. Shocking, I know. Also... WARNING! This a medical location where you have to go up a narrow flight of stairs? I can handle it no problem, but many people cannot. And being a family location? It might be a bit tough for a mother with an infant and her 4-year-old.

I called to make an appointment for a regular exam to get some replacement daily contacts and the receptionist that answered was so condescending and rude that I just told her to "nevermind" and hung up. She told me Id have to wear my contacts to the exam. I explained to her that I only have 3 pairs of dailies left, which I didnt want to waste, and thats why I wanted an appointment. She said I had to wear them in. I told her I thought that was odd because Ive never been asked to do that and Ive been getting contacts for 20 years. Her response: "well....theres a first time for everything." Wont be going to that office!

I was a first time patient at this practice and was very happy with the experience. they were able to squeeze me in quickly and the evaluation was thorough and speedy. the staff and doctor were very nice and the price for my evaluation was one of the most reasonable ive found. i was getting contacts but they have a nice selection of frames too so I will be back for glasses. i would highly recommend this practice.

Absolute best group of doctors and vision specialists in the business in the Denver area. Ive been a client for over 10 years and even though I live out by Franktown now, I still drive to downtown Denver each year to see Dr. Greenstein, Jan and Kathryn. They have the right selection of products and always make me feel like Im part of the family when Im there.

I walked in on a weekday just before closing and the staff was very inviting and knowledgeable. They repaired my sunglasses at no charge and I was able to schedule an appointment within a week for an exam. After my exam, my glasses were ordered and received in less that five working days! I highly recommend American Vision Center on Broadway!

They doctor was both competent and nice but ended my engagement on a sour note. Dont buy contacts from them. They keep a pair out of the box for themselves to "replace" the sample set they used to fit you with. I was never told that when I bought them. Ive never encountered this before. I feel like they stole a pair of lenses from me.

Very kind staff. The staff has been nothing but kind to my children. We have used American Vision Center in Denver for 5 years, and have had excellent service. I am grateful for all of the help I have received from the staff and doctors. I moved out of Denver, but continue to bring my children into town for their eye exams.

I have been going to American Vision Center for over 15 years and they are not only top notch professionals, but they are also extremely nice people to have in our collective community. I recommend this clinic to anyone who needs excellent eye care and optometry services.
