Review content:
I am still waiting for my eyes to dilate, having come back from an exam just hours earlier, so all of you can rest assured that this review is 100% fresh and organic!! ... (meaning the likely typing errors are a product of blurry vision, and by NO means, pesticides)
OKOK, anyway, I made an online appointment with Cohen, at their homepage (printed a coupon or two too), but was a bit worried because the conformation of appointment email that I received in reply to my chosen date and time arrived immediately after I filled out the online form. I mean, immediately! Don't doctors usually have other patients, who might or might not be booked for the same time as I requested? Don't they usually have to consult their schedule books before they tell me if they are available at that time? Doesn't it usually take more than 0.5 seconds? Well, I was a bit worried, and seeing as I had nothing else to do until my 1PM appointment, I just walked in at 12 :15 or so, hoping to verify if they had gotten my information or not.
It turned out that their computer was down, and I hadn't been booked.
Nevertheless, I was handed a form to fill, and was inside the doctor's office within no time.
My doctor was very nice. She was thorough and patient, and even though some of the equipment seemed a bit old (what do I know about that anyway? I guess I shouldn't comment), the office itself was clean and accommodating.
I was there to get contacts, but I needed a new pair of glasses too, and once I was finished inside, I spent some time looking at frames. They have a lot of choices! The woman who helped me pick my frames was great! She had some kind of an accent, and it was adorable. At first, she launched at me with a pair of slick Gucci rims, saying how great I'd look in them, but when I told her that I was looking for something plain and simple, seeing as I wear contacts most of the time and almost never go out with glasses, (which, naturally, translates into = ""I am a poor college student who spent all my christmas money at amazon, so I can't afford those"") she understood and took me to the cheaper rims section. What I found interesting was that she unexpectedly collapsed in a fit of giggles when I took one look in the mirror and pronounced myself ""funky"" while sporting a pair of neon-blue horn rimmed glasses. Beats me, I guess I just hit her funny bone or something!!
Also, since my eyes are so dreadfully near sighted that I could almost be blind, my lens prescription is also something quite serious. In terms of cost, that is. The woman decided at some point to have mercy on me and she just knocked off the cost of the frames altogether!!! So I'm getting free frames for my big-deal lens prescription! Although I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be possible had I been getting designer glasses.
Altogether, the people here seem really friendly and outgoing.
Plus, the location couldn't be more convenient for me!
5 Stars!!!!!
