Third Avenue Optometry

I just walked in without an appointment (not recommended) but Dr. Lee and Susan were so nice and told me they’d give me a call if they had a cancellation– lucky for me they did, and I got an eye exam and contact fitting! Dr. Lee is super cool and gave me advice about exploring the city (since I’m so new). After I left, she even emailed me photos (per my request) of what the inside of my eyeball looks like– so awesome. Appreciate it Dr. Lee!

The optometrist and receptionist are so friendly and nice. I feel welcome and invited at each visit. The exam is thorough and relatively quick. Dr. Lee speaks through her motions so you know what she’s doing and why. She doesn’t use medical jargon to explain things, it’s easy to talk to her. Sharon is a delight, she’s useful when picking out frames. Their selection is decent but I find other places are a little more trendy.

I dropped in to look up my glasses sizing measurement, which should be in my file. The receptionist, which the new owners must have inherited when they purchased this practice from Stanley Lowe, first stated that I was never a patient there. This was based on looking at me!
This reminded me of how difficult she was when I was last there in 2011. Fortunately, the optometrist’s husband came out, nicely asked what was up, and generously measured me.
So try to limit your time with the receptionist to improve your experience here.

Nothing but a glowing review for Third Ave! My wife has been going to them and Dr. Lowe for years and when I had to switch providers and find new frames… this was the first and only place I considered. Extremely friend front desk, Sharon is the BEST! I’ve gotten both my persciption glasses and sunglasses from them and they’ve been amazing. Great selection… not too many or too few to choose from and Sharon really is skilled in helping you select the perfect pair of glasses. Will be coming back here for man years to come!

I don’t have eye trouble, but still get my eyes checked every year or two to make sure I’m healthy. I have been to many optometrists who recommend glasses no matter what your vision. Here there was no pressure to do something that was unnecessary.
Everyone was extremely kind and helpful. I’ve been to many places that were fine, but I have no interest in going back, but I will return here and refer my family as well.

I used to see dr Lowe and so I went to dr Susie lee when he sold his practice. She was fantastic! She did a really thorough exam and even double checked her work. She was very patient, esp since I’m a terrible eye patient (I hate putting things in my eyes). She even offered (insisted) to wait for me when my meter ran out of time and I wanted to put more money in. She also showed me a comparison of my past eye exams and how my eyes have changed. She explained everything really well so I could understand what was going on and why she was doing such procedure. Also, she’s really friendly and kind! My mom also really enjoyed her appointment too.
I would really recommend seeing her. She’s a wonderful optometrist!
