Hauppauge Vision

I’m 37 years old next week and I’ve been wearing glasses for most of my life. I’m even related to the original owners of Davis Vision. Dr Martin & Deborah were an absolute pleasure and made me feel as though I was hanging out at home just having a chat about life. They were extremely professional and never pushy about all the extras that are available… Like when I’ve gone to Cohen’s & Sterling Opticals where they try to sell you everything under the sun. If anyone ever needed a recommendation of where to go to get an eye exam and glasses or sunglasses, Hauppauge Vision would be where I send them. Their selection of frames is incredible as well. Thank you again to Dr Martin & Deborah for a great experience while making a large purchase.

Unilocal removed my original review because I did not provide enough content. Hmmm, I thought that saying you were treated poorly after they discovered you were a member of the LGBT community was pretty self explanatory, was clear and detailed enough.
Let add more detail. I started going to Hauppauge Vision because they were close to my office in Hauppauge when I was working for a major Hi Tech firm. I used them without issue for a number of years without an issue. I thought that they were reasonably priced, friendly, competent, and always provided first rate service.
This changed one year. The time came for my yearly checkup and I noticed I had not received a notice from them, which they had been very regular in sending out. So I called and made an appointment. When I entered the office I was barely acknowledged and treated very abruptly by a clerk who in the past I had many pleasant conversations with. They were professional, just not friendly. As they have been in the past. Now I am active in working locally for the rights of LGBT people and I am very occasionally in some kind of media.
Well, time passes and my job changed so I moved on to other optometrists. My daughter however still used them, since I had recommended them. This past year she couldn’t go in to pick up her prescription, so I volunteered, since I am now retired.
Upon entering the office I am greeted with a «What do YOU want» from the clerk who was unfriendly last time I was in the office. So now I was treated poorly again by Hauppauge Vision. I just said I was here to pick up my daughters contact lenses. The clerk reluctantly searched for them, gave them to me and I left the office. One I will never be going back to.
So, the only possible reason I could think of that they would cease to be friendly, is because of their awareness of my LGBT status. Now I could be mistaken and they just decided they did not like me for other reasons unknown. I have always paid my bills on time, so it can’t be that. Not sure why they would not want all of the business they could get in this economy.
So I would summarize and say I would recommend them for non LGBT people. As I said I liked their convenience and service in the past. But if you are LGBT I would recommend you go elsewhere.
