Verified Patient Reviews
I was charged for a service I didn't receive. Upon question was told that owners were out of town and they couldn't do anything about it. I left and returned uncomfortable with the charge and was given an email address to try to get ahold of the owner since no one seemed to be authorized to do a refund.. I didn't need contacts but was told they give you a free pair. They were the wrong prescription. The doctor said, "It's not that different than your prescription, so it's no big deal." I'm currently waiting for my refund and unfortunately won't be returning to this office which is a shame as it looks nice on the inside and is a convenient location.
Thank you for your patience and the advice you gave me and my mother. Your staff was especially helpful and accommodating, especially Lena and Zeda. Thank you so much.

She provides appropriate recommendations and gives good advice. Dr. Mitchell is the by far the best optometrist I've been to. :-)
Dr. Mitchell sets an example of what all optometrists should strive to be like. She sincerely cares about all of her patients and spends the time necessary to provide them with a thorough exam. She educates her patient and is very personable and friendly (I actually enjoyed going to a doctor!). She works hard to keep all of her patients happy and will do her best to make sure they leave satisfied. Her staff is also very friendly and hard working. My vision is very important to me and I had such a wonderful experience coming here; I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thank you! :)
Very pleasant. Will refer everyone to Dr Kathleen Mitchell.
