Arleo Eye Institute

So normally I don’t review places other than food on here but after picking an eye place to go to in Ithaca without any recommendations I felt that this place needed a review as I was really pleased with everything here.
The front desk was a bit informal but that was okay because honestly I could care less, they helped me out, were nice and got me an appointment same day as a new patient.
The doctor I saw was Dr. Fazzary who was very nice and seemed to actually care about being there rather than the normal doctors I am used to who are rather unhappy which you can tell when they are asking «is it better in 1 or 2?» in a monotone voice. She was very nice, patient and let me know everything which was nice.
I also like that this place doesn’t do the blast of air into your eye for the glaucoma test, they have drops and some blue thing that is way better, I hate that air-​blast stuff.
Overall this is my new eye place and would definitely recommend this to everyone!
The only thing I didn’t like was their eyeglass selection was more than lacking, though I hear they have an online store, will have to check that out in the future.

I thought the receptionist (s) I spoke to were pretty rude.

They are very professional and competent, and I feel like my eyes are in good hands. I find it a little formal and impersonal, it is such a busy office. At the same time, that they are so busy reflects the quality of their care. They accept most insurance and are easy to work with.

Professional office. Would recommend to anyone in need of optometrist services.
