Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My daughter recently went to see Dr. Budd. She refuses to go back to him because each time he has been rude. She has seen him 3 times now. He made the comment to her "I do not know why you and your mother do not purchase contacts here". When her appointment was over he just said "Your done" and left. The staff at this location has been kind and helpful, as for Dr. Budd, he is rude and unprofessional.

Been seeing Dr. Budd for nearly 8 years (so several appointments and new prescriptions). They have more of a mom&pop feel vs larger more corporate places. Staff is okay, but I'm not there for them. The selection is fine; I'm always able to find something I like well enough. They do not have endless amounts of choices, but it's extremely difficult to compete with online retailers who have pages upon pages of options. Their website is fine but the online scheduling section simply doesn't work and really never has. You really have to call and speak with someone in order to get what you need. Dr. Budd is knowledgeable, kind, and is happy to tell you the truth about whatever eye questions you have. I never have felt rushed or that he was rushing.

Don't see this guy. Very rude and condescending. He didn't even do a full eye exam. It was done haphazardly and he used my old glasses to prescribe a new pair instead. To add insult to injury, he accused me of being a perfectionist. His new prescription was off slightly in one eye and it was slightly blurry from that eye of the frame. It was an annoying experience so I went back to him not once but twice and he just sneered at me in a condescending way each time and refused to fix the problem. I ended up going to Eyetique in Wilkins Township and they fixed the issue quickly. Don't see this guy. Save your time and money and go elsewhere.
