Amazing staff, funny, friendly, and kind!! I've never felt so good about going to the Optometrist!
Dr. Almond is hilarious. What an awesome guy. The front end staff was also incredibly warm and friendly. Thank you for the hassle-free experience! I can "see" .. why you guys get great reviews.
Thank You Nuvue Optometry for the genuine service I received today! Dr. Almond, you and your staff went over and above getting me in to have my eye checked. After many walk in clinics, I felt someone gets it and wants to help. I left there feeling, what a great place! I would recommend anyone looking for good eye care, this be the place.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolulte 5 star from me.I work in a field where hospitality service must be provided. Hence, I know how is the pressure when it comes to rendering satisfactory service regardless of the situation. But hey, this clinic seemed all natural! Not even once I felt like a burden in asking them questions and giving them details of what I want for an eyewear. Two Thumbs Up NUVUE TEAM!!!
The professional and friendly Nuvue team makes eye exams an enjoyable experience. I was impressed by their state of the art equipment and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great optometrist!
I had an eye exam here, and ended up purchasing my glasses from Nuvue. I am trying to remember now, but I actually think I chose my glasses and they prepared them the same day! It was easier to choose the glasses because they had a program on an iPad that could put my face side by side to compare the glasses I was waffling between. They also gave me two types of contacts to try to see which ones I liked better before buying them. I ordered my contacts from here too, and was hoping to have them before my trip to Cuba, but they weren’t in. They hooked me up, and gave me a couple to cover at least a few days during the trip! I would definitely recommend Nuvue.
Dr. Devin Almond is an excellent optometrist. He is extremely thorough, explaining the relevance of everything he does through the use of visual aids. I was also very impressed by the fact that his staff even took my blood pressure, which is definitely a first for a visit to the optometrist. He spend a lot of time fine tuning both my prescription and lens selection – I have had a lot of trouble with contact lenses in the past, but not at Nuvue. Highly recommended!
