I came to Chicago from out of state on 09/24/21 only the night. I threw out my contact lenses, not knowing I had forgotten to pack my daily disposables and my glasses. I called Vision Boutique on 09/25/21, and they were my saving grace. I first spoke to Dr. Hellen, who was incredibly sweet and empathetic and so very understanding. Shortly after, she handed the phone to Cynthia, who proceeded to ask me questions regarding my prescription and confirmed they had two pairs I could pick up at my convenience. I went to the store and interacted with the individuals mentioned above. Whitney allowed me to put my contacts on before leaving, and I walked out with some solution and a case to ease any troubles I may encounter. I can’t thank you all enough for being so accommodating. I plan on moving to Chicago soon, and I will most definitely make Dr. Helen my doctor of choice at Vision Boutique.
It was my daughters first experience with glasses. Dr. Amy was extremely informative and nicely answered all my questions I had. To be honest, this subject about prescriptive glasses its new to me. My daughter loved her RAY-BAN prescriptive glasses. I will definetely be going back for future appointments for my daughter. Also I will be requesting an eye exam for myself, as well. Customer service is great and employees are extremely nice 👌🏻😀✌🏻
This review is for their email services. I went to Vision Boutique in 2014/2015 and didn’t love my experience. I ended up moving away but found myself on their mailing list. No big deal. Unsubscribe. Well, come 2021 and I’m still receiving emails. I have clicked unsubscribe multiple times and nope I still get emails. I’ve reported the emails to Google and continue to do so. I hope the company sees this and updates their email mailing lists. Right now, this company is spam.
Excellence every time. Have had two optometrists who are excellent, and Greg in the front really took time to help explain all my options and pricing, as well as giving me much needed style advice. Nothing but good things to say.
My experience at Vision Boutique was wonderful from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. The staff was friendly, professional and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Cartwright was fantastic and explained everything in great detail. After the exam, Jason helped me select my glasses and let me say that he was beyond amazing. I’ve always been overwhelmed with the process of selecting new glasses but Jason made the experience so easy and stress free. I’m so glad to have found an eye doctor in the city.
I have only had positive experiences at Vision Boutique - The eye doctors are great and the staff is super friendly and helpful. I recently got glasses and contacts there and I thought the price was reasonable for what I received with my eye insurance. It is also a great location and the facility is nice!
I visited yesterday for my annual eye exam and the team was more than helpful. Veronica was very nice and walked me through the initial intake and preliminary exams. Dr. Neil was a cool cat per usual. Catherine did an incredible job of recommending various new glasses. She also took the time to educate me about my current glasses and how to optimize my vision with the new glasses.
I had the best experience at Vision Boutique. Staff was super friendly and accommodating during my trip. The place was very clean and sanitized. They even walked me through all of my insurance and what insurance would cover, and helped me find the best way to utilize my insurance to make it cheaper for me! Had my contacts in stock and even walked me through options for glasses. I would highly recommend going to this place for an eye appointment!
I love this place! I have been coming here for years and bringing my whole family. Dr. Neil is amazing, detail oriented, doesn’t leave a stone unturned, cares deeply about your eye health. Jason is a true gem! Has your best interest in mind, always there with a great advice on frame, style, features. Their whole staff is amazing, every person you interact with. Even after I moved, I continue to see them, worth a drive every time. Love this team!
Dr. Helen and all of her staff were incredibly courteous, professional, and helpful! Dr. Helen took the time to explain and answer all of my questions. I feel grateful and relieved to have such a good eye doc! Definitely in good hands here! Additionally, her staff are top-notch! I had a million questions about my insurance, and they were so patient and kind from the moment I walked in until the moment I walked out!
I have been nervous to make any dr appointments during COVID, but am so glad I entrusted Vision Boutique to take care of my eye needs. Their office is immaculate, they limit the number of people allowed in at once, and take every precaution necessary to make you comfortable. I had excellent service from Dr. Neil, Cynthia & Katherine and am so glad I found a trustworthy eye doctor in Chicago. Also, the office is just super cute, so that’s an added bonus.
Amazing experience. I was seen immediately after I arrived and received friendly and professional care from each staff member and Dr. Cartwright. Jason did an amazing job helping me pick my glasses and made the usually tedious process a lot of fun. Ive had glasses for 20 years and this is by far the best experience Ive had with an eye doctor so far.
Been for contacts, glasses and eye appointment! Phenomenal customer service at both Lakeview and Old Town locations! Glasses selection varies a little per location but found two pairs I loved at Lakeview. 10/10 recommend and very fair pricing, paid parking usually available out front as well!
I absolutely love Vision Boutique! Everyone is always so helpful and professional, especially Jason. I recently called and needed help with an order for contacts and Jason was so friendly and knowledgable. He walked me through everything I needed to know, helped me get the best price possible, and made sure I was getting the correct amount I needed. Experiences like this make me so happy I found Vision Boutique!
I love this place. I alway put off going to the eye doctor because I just don’t like it but Vision Boutique makes the experience amazing! The eye exam was simple and easy. Everyone was so friendly, it was just like spending the day with friends. I would definitely recommend this place!
Highly recommend Vision Boutique. Dr. Amy Cartwright was wonderful and gave great explanations and in-depth detail of her findings and vision recommendations. Following my exam, Jason helped me find a great pair of glasses that I could customize to include blue-light blocking lenses.
I was very impressed with the quality of my eye exam, choosing new glasses and then coming back to get contacts. Jason at the Lakeview location, did a phenomenal job with helping me choose new glasses and spent quality time helping me find the right ones. He also did a great job with the adjustments and making sure that they fit properly.
The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating to my schedule. Very friendly staff and was also very careful regarding issues on cleanliness. They showed tremendous patience as I chose my frames and were extremely professional and offered good information. Thank you.
Great shop with super helpful staff. I got fitted for contacts and received a comprehensive eye exam as well. They do curbside pickup, acted responsibly and safe while adhering to strict Covid safety precautions.
I love this place! Each of the staff members are very kind and attentive. They really took care of me and were very honest and fair in our interactions. Special shoutouts especially to Jason and Dr. Cartwright, but really, everyone here is amazing. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!
We just had our first visit. The entire staff was super friendly and took every possible COVID-19 precaution. Dr. Helen was fantastic, and very patient, with my 6 yr old. Im glad we found Vision Boutique and will be going back.
The staff is fantastic every time I visit. Dr. Neil is very personable and knowledgeable with recommending solutions that fit my work/active needs. Greg and Jason did a great job helping me find a pair of glasses that fit my appearance and provided excellent feedback for my questions. Highly recommend the team!
The staff are knowledgeable about eye care not just eyeglasses. They have made useful suggestions regarding problems with dry eye, for example. They are very patient and take their time without resorting to a hard sell. Quite the opposite. If you really want their opinion, ask them in a way that lets them know you want some honest input. They can provide it in a tactful but informative manner. In my case, they have picked out some that they would like me to try on. This is a good spot to try something different. Last week I had the eye exam. I have had quite a few. Again, time was taken to do a good job.I say go here with an open mind and have a bit of fun. This is not a place with attitude.
I 100% recommend vision boutique on Sheffield to anyone looking for an eye doctor. They have the best customer service and the doctors are so helpful! I moved back home to Wisconsin and travel back to Chicago for my eye appointments ❤️
I would highly recommend Vision Boutique. They have a lovely selection of glasses and all the staff are so helpful and nice!
Jason was so helpful in my first visit to the shop, he make sure my glasses fit well and it was very efficient. The eye exam was also fast and pleasant.
I really like everything about this place! Dr. Helen is great. She listened to my concerns and addressed everything. The gentleman who helped me look at glasses, and put the screw back in my old ones, was fantastic. Catherine was so nice and extremely helpful! I think I found my new OD.
I recently relocated near the west loop location but will always go to Sheffield. Great staff who are very friendly and helpful.The place is very bright and clean and their COVID protocol is great.
Very professional, helpful and considerate, especially during the pandemic. I felt very comfortable during my visit.
I have been going here for the last two years and really love how friendly the staff are and how efficient they are with their patients. I mostly wear contacts and my eyes have always been sensitive and Dr. Helen T. recommended daily moist acuvue and it has completely changed my experience with contacts. Also, knowing I’m always staring at the computer she recommended blue light glasses over my contacts and that has been super helpful as well.
Overall amazing experience! The staff was polite and welcoming. There was an array of frames to choose from. One of the specialists helped me pick out frames that were the style I was looking for and picked ones for me that best fit my face shape. The experience was quick and efficient. And on top of it, they have their own lab so I was able to take home my new prescription eyeglasses the same day!
Able to see me right away and earlier than my scheduled time. Everything was sanitized well and frequently during these covid times. All wore masks and I felt very safe. Dr Neil was great and answered all my questions.
I had an all around great experience at Vision Boutique!Will highly recommend.A nice selection of frames too!
Went here to get my glasses adjusted. A guy (didnt get his name, or I forgot it, because thats my superpower...) helped me out. He was good. Very. Thanks, guys.
Everybody that took care of me was amazing. I am terrible about going to the eye doctor. Dr Tzanetakos was very insightful and didnt shame me for not coming in sooner. She helped me understand my eyesight and what I can do to better my lifestyle. She has inspired me to return annually. Also Stephanie was amazing as well. She helped me find the perfect pair of glasses. She made me feel very comfortable and inspired me to try new looks. She was very easy going and didnt pressure me. Loved the experience!
Greg was thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly. He made sure I was aware of all my options for both frames and lenses and was very patient and supportive while I made my final decision.
This place has a great selection of frames from conservative to ultra funky. I walked in with no appointment and spotted a frame I wanted. The doctor was able to see me.Derrick was extremely helpful. The entire team gave feedback on which frames looked best and fitted my personality.Derrick also showed me pricing with and without my insurance.They dont to up sell. It was an excellent no-pressure experience.
Dr. Neal is a great! I dont live nearby any more but I make sure I come back to see him. He has a great demeanor and treats his patients respectfully. The office is always clean and appointments are timely.
I highly recommend this place. Dr Helen is the best. She’s very professional. She takes time to go through the eye exam with you to get the perfect vision. She understood my problem that my hormones fluctuated a lot while breast feeding, which affected my vision. She was very patient. She welcomed me back many times to replace the prescriptions. She definitely made sure I found the right contacts. I moved to suburbs but I would still come back to see her.
Dr. Boldus and the team are always friendly and professional. I have had problems at other eye places where they try to get you to spend as much money as possible, but that never happens here. I have also been impressed with their attention to procedure during the pandemic.
Dr, Neil is excellent and explains everything that he is doing and why and is open to any questions. The rest of the office staff is also very knowledgeable and polite. I highly recommend.
Always amazing and friendly service! They also make sure I never go home empty handed sending me with extra contacts and travel size contact solutions! Would highly recommend!
Great service. I see Dr. Boldus and he always gives a thorough exam and makes everything easy to understand. The staff help me pick out the cutest glasses every time that I would never think to try on myself. Great selection of glasses too.
I needed to refresh my contacts supply but couldnt make an appointment or go anywhere due to being in quarantine. Matt at Vision Boutique PERSONALLY DELIVERED my new boxes. His thoughtfulness blew me away. Ill definitely be back at Vision Boutique when its time for my next appointment.
Great, professional, friendly, patient, and accessible every time. Im able to get an appointment within 1 week. One time I needed a couple trial contact lenses before getting my prescription just right. They quickly saw me an extra time and I see crystal clear 🙂 Ive been going to Vision Boutique for a few years now and would definitely recommend.
Very laid back place. I was able to tell them exactly what I was looking to get for my lenses and what price point I wanted to keep to. They didn’t try to oversell me and gave my the total break down of my bill. I will go back for yearly exams!
Love Dr. Helen. She’s on time, patient, and takes the time to help you understand all important aspects of eye health. The staff is also great with navigating all things insurance. I’d recommend Vision Boutique to anyone!
Dont go there stay away. They have a lot of issues with coustoners.Be warned.
I worked with Jason for sizing for my new glasses. He was extremely personable and professional. Vision Boutique is not my normal place to get my eye-exam, but I was so impressed with the facility and customer service that I will be scheduling my eye exam with them this upcoming year!
Service and care are excellent. Best vision place in town for sure.
Everyone here and Dr Helen were incredibly friendly and actually eager to be helpful, especially considering my visit was during COVID-19 pandemic... The facility was clean and plenty of sanitizing supplies were available. They also limited people and controlled random walk-ins to reduce capacity.
I am such a fan of Vision Boutique! Dr. Neil Boldus is great - he got me into a new pair of contacts that have made all the difference. Hes kind, funny, and thorough. The front office staff is just as fabulous. Derek help me find 2 pairs of amazing frames I love. He was so incredibly helpful and patient as I tried on pair after pair. He has a real talent as an optician in making people feel comfortable and relaxed, while finding them the perfect pair of glasses.
Vision Boutique is great. They are always super transparent about maximizing insurance benefits to keep your out of pocket costs low when purchasing contacts or glasses. The care is always exceptional, and the doctors are extremely personable and kind. Ive been going here for a couple years for all my vision needs, and dont think Id consider going anywhere else!
If you are looking for a new optometrist, look no further. I had an absolutely great experience and would recommend highly Vision Boutique. From the office atmosphere to the employees I felt very welcomed and the customer service was superb. Derek was extremely patient with my indecisiveness when picking out new glasses AND got them made the same day! Great place, even better people.
Very good patient experience every time I go. They also carry my contacts at the store so it’s a one-stop-shop for me when I have an eye exam. Staff is very friendly and informative, they do a nice job explaining the procedures.
Super great. Super accommodating. My glasses look and feel great. Thanks! :)
Always courteous and professional. Fast to resolve issues and answer any questions.
Nice, helpful, and patient staff. Great variety of frames. New glasses were cut and framed in a short time frame. (They offered to have them ready in 20-30 minutes, but I opted to pick them up the next day.) Im wearing the glasses now, and they are both comfortable on my face and perfect for my eyes.
The staff is amazing at Vision Boutique! They were all so nice and helpful. And we’re very helpful finding the right frames for me when I had no idea what ones I should get. It also helps that the interior design is beautiful!! Definitely going to tell all my friends about this place.
I have been a client at this eye client for over 3 years now and absolutely love it. They are very attentive, well organized, friendly, helpful, efficient, and best of all they have such a great selection to choose from! I have gotten two pairs of Tom Fords glasses from them and my Chanel’s from them! I love my eye contact from there too!
Love their frame selection along with sunglasses. The doctors were also amazing in helping me find contacts that were comfortable (we went through a few trials). Staff is incredibly helpful. Highly recommend Vision Boutique
Vision Boutique staff are always extremely courteous, professional, and helpful. My appointments are always completed efficiently and I always feel valued as a customer there. Highly recommended!
Super clean and up to date equipment. Staff is very nice. I have been seeing Dr. Neil for years. He is very quick and knowledgeable in all eye care needs. Dr. Helen is also very patient and helpful.
Great experience. Very knowledgeable and was able to fit me in for an emergency visit and checked my insurance. Will use again.
Vision Boutique was a great experience. Easy booking, low pressure exam and very timely! I find it hard to find frames that I really like, but Jay and Jayson made it easy to find some that work for me. It is a laid back personal atmosphere with nice people willing to work with your preferences. Thanks for your help and attentiveness, I feel great in my new fancy frames!
Im someone who actually enjoys going to the eye doctor, however, if you are someone that is nervous or gets stressed when thinking about going you should definitely check out this place! Great customer care from the moment you walk in and continues throughout the experience. I saw Dr. Shah, who took the time to really explain what she was seeing with my eyes and current prescriptions and made sure that I actually understood what her plan was for my vision over the next year. I didnt feel like I was just an in-and-out number/customer and truly valued the experience that I received.
Dr. Helen is wonderful. She was so kind and patient with my 5 year olds eye exam. Everyone on staff was professional, helpful and attentive.
Love the guys at vision boutique! Every year I go in, there seems to be a couple new employees, but everyone I have worked with with has been kind, honest, straight forward, and so helpful. I have been going here for 3 years now after checking out a couple other eye doctors, but and I am glad I found them :)
I went in for an eye exam and to get my prescription updated. The check in process was incredibly easy (coffee, hot chocolate, etc. provided) and the exam itself was both painless and quick. They have a lab on the bottom floor so you can get your prescription changed quickly and painlessly. I’ll definitelt be going back!
I went to this place on a whim and found I that I loved it! I worked with Jason and he picked out the right glasses for me right away! Everyone on staff was so friendly, I felt like I had known them for years. Their frames are beyond beautiful and they have such an array. I would definitely recommend Vision Boutique-Lakeview to my friends and family!
I went in to Vision Boutique Lakeview for an eyeglass vision renewal after my eyeglass prescription expired a year ago. Dr. Helens eye exam was very through and she really did a great job explaining my eye glass prescription change, and how I can keep my eyes healthy. I needed a slight eye glass prescription change, so I immediately saw optician Jason.Previously, I typically purchased neutral looking eye glass frames at LensCrafters that werent very exciting and did help me stand out. Jason immediately identified that I needed a bold new look. After reviewing several options, I found a pair of frames from an independent company in California that I couldnt have found at the big box eye glass stores, and further these frames fit very comfortably.Jason offered to have the glass lenses cut and ready in 15 minutes. Derek did an amazing job with preparing the glasses, and they were ready before the promised time. I literally walked out with my new eye glasses within an hour in arriving. I dont think Ill go to another eye glass store in Chicago. Thanks for the new found confidence.
Vision boutique has been my go-to for years! Ive worn glasses since I was 8, so at 32 I can say Ive been to MANY eye doctors. Dr. Helen Tzanetakos is the best! That said, I suddenly found myself with what turned out to be an eye infection during Covid Shelter-in-Place. I had been intending on making a regular appointment around this time because I was a few months overdue. I was concerned that the Doctor would not see me because it had been a while, but Dr. Neil not only made time for me via telehealth, but he was able to diagnose the problem quickly! Matt, who helped me set up the appointment and paperwork for their new system was kind, patient, and genuine, helping me troubleshoot while I only had one eye to use.Really looking forward to my usual eye exam when shelter in place is over!
This is a lovely boutique with super friendly and helpful people! Dr. Helen took time to answer my questions and talk about my eye health. Stephanie was a huge help in narrowing down frames for me from their large selection.
Dr. Neil is amazing. He really took the time to make sure my contacts are perfect for my eyes. Can not recommend him enough!
I love this Vision Boutique location on Sheffield. Sarah and Jason are very professional and friendly. Dr. Neil is my optometrist. He is always great!
Everyone on staff was very friendly and professional. They didnt waist anytime getting me checked in and running the tests. Dr. Neil was very helpful. He listened to my concerns and share a lot of valuable information with me. He put me in a new brand of contacts and for the first time in years I finally feel like my contacts are not strangling my eyeballs. Thank you everyone at Vision Boutique!
Love the team at Vision Boutique they always provide the best service, thorough in explanation and really take the time to assist me in finding the ideal frame ! Would recommend them to anyone !
Great first experience. Staff were very friendly and upfront on pricing. Doctor was very friendly and extremely helpful. 10/10 recommended if you are looking for a great vision location.
I’ve been going here for a few years. They are extremely professional, prompt with their appointments, continue to update their technology, and take their time to answer all your questions. They even give you a personal shopping experience to find the right frames for you!
The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Helen took extra time to answer my questions without making me feel rushed. The last place I went to, they were always trying to sell me something and I didn’t get any of that here. They were prepared to help me buy glasses and/or contacts and really explained my insurance benefits. Will definitely go back next year and will refer my friends and family.
This place is awesome! From check in to check out I felt comfortable and informed. Check in was easy and quick and I was taken to the pre exam room immediately even though I had arrived 20 minutes early. Rosie was great and made sure to explain each step as she did some initial testing before my visit with the doctor. She also made sure to wipe down all of the machines to ensure they were sanitized prior to having me use them. Dr. Tzanetakos was friendly, prompt and addressed my concerns. When getting new sunglasses, Derek was super helpful letting me know what my options were, what my insurance would cover and made recommendations for styles. I first met Derek last year when he helped my husband pick out new glasses and am always impressed with his level of service. He truly goes above and beyond to make sure you leave happy and stay happy. Overall a great experience, I will definitely be back.
Dr. Boldus was really knowledgeable - he was able to identify an inaccurate diagnosis from a previous doctor and did his diligence to identify changes (for the better!) in my vision. I didnt feel rushed, and thats hard to come by in a medical office in Chicago.
Really professional and knowledgeable, very happy!
Great selection and great customer service!
Had a great experience! Yesterday was my second time getting my annual eye exam with Vision Boutique and they are always quick, helpful, and very knowledgable. I also really appreciate having the ability to make appointments after work. Definitely will continue to call Vision Boutique my optometrist.
They go above and beyond! I initially needed an annual eye exam + contacts. Turns out I also needed assistance with a pair of glasses I didn’t purchase with them. They didn’t have to, but went out of their way to help me solve my problem and I really felt valued as a customer. The Vision Boutique team is really dedicated to delivering a great customer experience, much appreciated! Thanks!
I had a very pleasant and efficient experience at Vision Boutique! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!
I’ve never had a better experience in eye care. The doctors are super attentive, friendly, and efficient. They will not rest until you are happy with their work. The support staff is also stellar, taking time to explain all my insurance benefits to me. I’ll be coming back to vision boutique for a long time!
I’ve been coming here for a couple of years now and every time I step foot inside I am treated with respect. Both the doctor and staff care about everyone. I like how they sit down with you and lay out what insurance covers before talking about buying any new glasses or prescriptions.
Ive been going to Vision Boutique for years, ever since they opened a location in the West Loop. Dr. Helen and Dr. Neil are always friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.Not only do they really care about their patients but the rest of the staff at the Sheffield and West Loop locations have always been just as friendly. As for the frames, my only complaint is that I have a hard time choosing between frames whenever I visit.Lastly, if you have vision insurance, they are great at figuring out the best options for you!Vision Boutique for the win!
Fantastic service, friendly staff, great selections, and cute store. Highly recommend to any.
Dr. NEIL BOLDUS, O.D. & his staff are as good as it gets. Top Rate talent skills, responsive & prompt services top rate products. This isnt a corporate shop. Just a great team of professionals who care about you
Exam was quick and painless! They had my glasses ready the same day! Friendly service and helpful staff. Great frame selection as well
Great service! Dr Neil is very straightforward and does a great job of explaining things to his patient. Ive been so happy with my decision to go to Vision Boutique.
So compassionate, so professional, so personable. A really wonderful experience with this place. Highly recommend these folks!
The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly. They made my new glasses within 15 minutes of me choosing a pair. The vision exam was comfortable and enjoyable.
Had a great experience! The office was efficient and timely and accommodated for exactly what I was looking for.
Great experience here, really friendly staff, quick appointment and helped me understand my insurance to get the best deal for a years worth of contacts. Very nice place and very clean!
Had a great experience. Everyone there was very nice and helpful.
I love the staff and the technology Vision Boutique uses. It’s a very pleasant experience.
