                    [comment] => I needed new eye glasses, but I wanted to try some place new that was close to my home. I located Memorial Eye Center on Eldridge near the I-10. From the time we walked in to the time we walked out the service was great. No sale pressure, friendly atmosphere and treated with respect. The eye examine went well, and they checked for everything, which I needed them to do. The price for glasses were reasonable, but the lens and a few other added things could be expensive. Overall, I would recommend Memorial Eye Center. Ask for Vanessa. Spider webs need to be clean up in the exam room behind the door and in the corners.

                    [comment] => I would highly recommend Dr John Tavares. I have been visiting him for the last 3 years. He is highly professional and take time to examine and explain each step in simple terms.
I did have some issues with my prescription specs which led to delays. However the new Manager Ms Alicia has improved the response with auto updates for pick up by text and email.
Overall a very good experience at Memorial eye centre.

I was observing while filling out paperwork how they clean and disinfect every single thing in their practice, door handles, pens, chairs, tables and equipments and frames that you tried on. I truly appreciate it especially with the on-going pandemic, Everyone has a very positive attitude at this office and seem to enjoy what they're doing. Dr. Emily Porier was very thorough and informative during the exam, Grace was very efficient and attentive the whole time and Carlo was very good at explaining the lenses that I was getting for my glasses. What an amazing team they have and leadership!

I was able to go to another location for my reading glasses that Dr. Tavares (in previous yearly eye exams said would come with age). I returned to the Eldridge location and the service I received from reception to Dr. Porter (my first time seeing her) to opting for a 2nd pair of readers and selecting frames was impressive. The level of service I received was a definite reminder of why I choose to go the Memorial Eye at Eldridge. Outstanding service that will have you referring family and friends for great eye care.

I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to get in for an exam to renew my prescription of contacts in time.  Thankfully, Memorial Eye found me an opening at a different branch than the one I normally go to.  The staff was very accommodating and friendly.  Everyone seemed very professional and the appointment was quick and easy.  I am very grateful and would have no qualms recommending either branch to friends or family.  My only gripe is the price of contacts; although, as bad as my vision is, I guess it’s a small price to pay for clear sight.

I would highly recommend Dr John Tavares. I have been visiting him for the last 3 years. He is highl... y professional and take time to examine and explain each step in simple terms. I did have some issues with my prescription specs which led to delays. However the new Manager Ms Alicia has improved the response with auto updates for pick up by text and email. Overall a very good experience at Memorial eye centre.

The office is easy to find, and they provide excellent customer care. I will definitely be returning... annually for my eye exams!
