Fantastic place! excellent customer service. Very pleasant. The glasses came in misaligned and they immediately ordered me a new pair and let me wear the other until my new pair arrived.
They are excellent with young adults and have some fabulous optometrists for both adults and kids who can read.
Overall wonderful experience bringing my entire family for eye appointments and glasses fittings. They also help guide you which glasses look good one your face if you need help.

Our family has been coming to Pildes Optical (Now West Side Vision Care) for over 30 years and can't recommend them high enough. Jay and all of the staff are lovely to work with and beyond accomodating. Recently, our 12 year old daughter was fitted for contacts and everyone there was so supportive of her learning the process. We wouldn't think of going anywhere else for our family's vision needs.

I was fortunate enough to meet with Liselle at Pildes Optical. She was welcoming and full of ideas as to which glass frames I could choose from and look well in. After a short time, we both agreed on a lovely pair that I am enjoying now with new prisms. Thank you Pildes for your plentiful frames to choose from and hiring Liselle to. help me choose. With gratitude, Bonita

The in-store experience was fine, but when I needed to replace the glasses and asked for the prescription, they sent me an incomplete prescription and were nasty when I asked for the missing information.

I came in looking to upgrade from my standard readers to real prescription eyeglasses and had a wonderful experience. I was seen by Dr. Hyde, who was very friendly and professional. I was a person, not just someone sitting in the chair. Back out front, a super nice woman named Kenya was patient and informative with me as I made the choices of frames, progressives, etc. She carefully explained all of the billing, my insurance coverage, and the costs and benefits of different potential upgrades.
This was a very pleasant experience. Thank you, Pildes!

Just got two pairs of glasses. Ms. Ramirez helped me pick out the most fabulous frames!! Good discount! The optician was really nice also, as well as the other staff. Fast and efficient service. I highly recommend them!
