Okay this is a very important review.... I stopped in today to get my glasses replaced. That is wher... Show Moree I was absolutely blown away by the level of customer service I received. Jackie, who took care of me was spot on. She handled my request with the utmost professionalism and she was able to get my glasses back to me in matter of minutes. I can not express enough how amazing that is.... 😀. Then the price of the replacement showed up and BOOM it was even more surprising that the fact I received my glasses back immediately. It was cheaper that I thought it would be. Now, I can see again and if you wear glasses you know what I mean when say without them life is challenging at best.
The good news doesn't stop there and I needed new prescription sun glasses. Jackie once again went above and beyond. She found an amazing price point for a pair of Nike mirrored glasses that blew my mind. So affordable I kind of thought she might have been kidding... 😀. Nope it was real...
The whole while she and I chatted about things like we were long time friends catching up on life events.
I highly, highly, highly recommend going here to get glasses see the optometrist Dr. Wong she is great as well.
Dont forget to meet Jackie because in my considered opinion she is the best in the business in El Paso.
I will be back for all my eye care needs as long as the good Lord above allows me.
*side note: Jackie needs a raise she is an amazing employee and one heck of a great lady. 😊
