Bita Sabripour

My retina surgeon recommended Dr. Sabripour in 2008 and I’ve been a patient ever since and very satisfied with her and her staff.

A coworker recommended Dr. Bita and Clear Vision Center and my experience was perfect. I made an appointment for a Saturday afternoon and although it was busy, the wait time was manageable and normal in my eyes.
I explained I had PRK done almost a year ago and expressed a small concern I had. The dr was very knowledgeable in answering my question and turned out that my small concern was a normal experience for lasik/​PRK patients.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Bita. She’s very friendly and knowledgeable. No complaints here!

My experience was similar to others who have posted. I had a Groupon for a contact lens exam and a pair of contacts. When I called to make an appointment, I heard the optometrist arguing with her staff in the background about customers not paying enough which should’ve cued me to run away then. When i went to my appointment, she sat me down to the autorefractor (which took all of 2 minutes) and handed me a box of contacts. She then rushed me out of the room with barely any time to ask questions about the contacts or my prescription. When I requested my prescription be written down, she told me there’s no need for that, that I should order my contacts through them and they knew my script. I told her I would really just rather have my prescription written down and so, she charged me an additional 85 $ just to write down the script (something I’ve never even heard of anyone doing!). I called my old optometrist in Boston (where I used to live), and he told me that an autorefractor is often used as an initial screening, but optometrists must still use a Phoropter after that in order to get a true reading because an autorefractor gives optometrists just a baseline reading and it is often not your true prescription. He said the fact that she didn’t use a phoropter on me, coupled with the fact that my script was vastly different than the one he recorded the year before, he believes the script she gave me is more than likely incorrect and advised me to see another optometrist. So, basically $ 150 later, I have to start this process all over again. DO NOT GO HERE.

I went there for my first ever contact exam, and after waiting awhile she saw me and completely rushed through my exam, barely letting me ask questions. I felt so rushed I didn’t even have the time to decide which number for my vision worked best for me while she was flipping through them in the machine extremely quickly. Considering the fact that there was one other person, there was no reason to rush me. After the next few days of wearing my contacts, I realized it was pretty blurry and had made an appointment to go back to get the Correct prescription. After doing the exam again, she realized that she had given me the wrong numbers and replaced it with the correct ones. After all this, she wrote the wrong numbers on the new prescription and they didn’t even match the new contacts she had just given me. I’m never going back there again and I will not recommend clear vision center to anyone.

I purchased a groupon and made an appointment. My wait time was less then 15 mins and my doctor was very nice. Doctor Bita searched high and low and found a temp pair of my difficult prescription to take home that day. I ordered a year supply and received a mail in rebate to my surprise. My contacts were ready for pick up in less than a week. She was just as helpful and sweet when I picked them up and she remembered me. I will definitely be returning. :)

Poor service. Long wait times with an appointment.

My experience was somewhat similar to previous posters. I had previously purchased glasses before, when this store was at another location (with different staff who were great). That’s important to mention because the people really make or break your business.
This time, the receptionist was Victoria. She was very curt and stoned-​face and IMHO, she does NOT have the personality to be upfront dealing with customers at all. Mark was ok but just thinking about having to talk to Victoria again would stop me from returning.
Also, I had a glasses and contacts exam with Dr. Sabripour (my first time with her). I’ve had exams for 20 years and this one was the shortest exam I’ve ever been to. The wait was longer than the actual exam of 8 minutes. Not to mention the so-​called «contacts» exam is a rip off. She didn’t do anything more than she would with a regular glasses exam and I do feel sort of cheated having to pay the extra co-​pay for virtually nothing. I should mention that this was in the middle of a workday and there were no other patients waiting (she wasn’t rushed and should have taken more time).
She didn’t have the trial contacts for me so I was told Victoria would order them. I called back a week later to follow-​up because it took so long and apparently, they had not yet been ordered and it would be another 3 days. Hmm. I was not impressed. Like someone else said, Victoria showed no sympathy and wasn’t apologetic.
To their credit, when it did come in, I received a call from Mark. However, there has been no follow-​up from the office since then about how the contacts fit, or whether I needed something else. You would think that’s part of the «contacts exam» since I didn’t even get to try the contacts on at their office.
Overall, seeing that there are many optometrists and stores that sell glasses in the area, no, I would not return again.

I have had a horrible experience with this place. Raheem and Mark are friendly and polite, but it’s not enough to save them at this point.
When my glasses came in, they didn’t have the anti-​glare lenses like they were supposed to, so they told me they would order the lenses, but I should just wear them as is until the new lenses came in, and they would swap them out when the anti-​glare ones arrived.
Well… A week later I called to follow up… Turns out there was a «delay» in the order, and they would need to «re-​order» them… Another week and a half or so goes by, and I am cleaning them off one morning and one of the arms literally just falls off. Uh… what? Did I mention these are Prada? Aka $$$$.
I called to tell them and I am told they will now need to order me new frames as well… It should take about a week…
A week and 2 – 3 days later (today) I call to follow up AGAIN… And what do you know… My glasses are in! Was anyone going to tell me?
So naturally it’s not that simple. I am told by Victoria (with no sympathy or apology) that Mark is not there today, and he is the only person who can swap out lenses.
Great! So now I need to wait until NEXT Saturday to get them because they close at 5pm during the week, and I can’t get there from work in time.
I should have stuck with my first impression and left after 30 minutes on my initial visit (when I was called to come in early for my appointment and forced to wait over an hour.)

I went to the Clear Vision Center of South Florida as part of a Groupon I purchased. Really needed an eye exam for contact lenses and I couldn’t pass up on the deal because it’s usually pretty pricey if you don’t have insurance.
I was pleasantly surprised by Dr. Sabripour and staff. Called in to make an appointment and the young lady that answered was courteous and friendly. Called again the day of appointment to get directions (it’s a bit confusing to get there if you are not familiar with the area) and the gentleman that answered was friendly and patient and help me find my way.
Dr. Sabripour greeted me before entering for the exam with a smile and she was very professional and explained every step throughout the exam. You can tell she likes what she does and I can really appreciate that.
Overall great experience. Will come back and recommend.
