What people keep saying.3

Every review this business has, read and distilled — the mood, the consistent praise, and the recurring complaints.

Customers report a mixed experience at Eye & Health, with notable praise for Dr. Joanna Latek's thoroughness and personable approach during eye exams. However, frustrations arise from the front desk staff's perceived rudeness and disorganization, leading to delays and issues with prescription handling.

Consistently praised

Recurring complaints

Rude behavior from front desk staff, particularly Anna
Frequent upselling and lack of transparency regarding costs
