Testimonials

  • “THERE IS A NEW DOCTOR! And I think new ownership? lots of new faces. I don’t know when Dr. Ciobanu took over this place, but she is so nice! She is very knowledgeable and friendly and she brings a great vibe to this office. The office is pretty nice and they have a unique selection of glasses. I don’t think I’ve seen Chanel or a brand called Salt anywhere else. Located inside the mall, I would recommend!”

  • “I love this office and highly recommend for all eye care needs. I recently met the new owners, and they are great! I did my exam with Dr. Ciobanu – she is so sweet, friendly and knowledgeable. She is very professional and patient, answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable. The office itself is very chic yet cozy. They have a great selection of frames, from high end (Chanel- very hard to find offices that offer Chanel!) to local brands (SALT). The opticians are knowledgeable and friendly, and great at helping you select a frame that suits your face.”

  • “I’ve been coming here for the last several years because of the personalized and welcoming experence. This recent appointment on 8-5 there was a Chanel trunk event for a free set of frames. Helga was so helpful and caring on my specialized needs for lenses that help me see better; from having Retinal Necrosis in the past. I met the new owner Dr Ciobanu who was very nice and friendly. I also won a new set of Chanel frames! Highly recommended!”
