The gentleman who guided me through the testing was pleasant. However, the receptionist who I first spoke with and asked for paperwork was cold, distant and could care less about her job! I work in recruiting, so I have a good sense of people. I compared charges for the exam\nWith my husband who went the week before and I was charged more - she didn’t even want my health insurance card at all. Again, the DO was amazing, pleasant and very thorough. It’s the little things that make a difference.","updateTime":"2026-02-08T15:44:25.609894Z"},{"reviewer":"Jazmyn Campbell","starRating":"ONE","comment":"Dr.paul was nice and friendly and knowledgeable but the girl who helps pick out glasses and the girl who goes over insurance were rude, unfriendly and unprofessional. They were talking bad about a customer who was on the phone while I was waiting so I could only imagine what they would say about me when I left. I opted to not buy frames there because of the staff.

I'm not an easy patient (many issues), but he does everything in his power and knowledge to help. I've been seeing him for several years, and he has consistently exceeded my expectations. They would get a 5 star rating if it wasn't for their scheduling. First appointment they had a doctor scheduling change, and did not call to tell me. I went in, found Dr Paul wasn't there, and had to reschedule. The following week, I showed up for my appointment and they had double booked Dr Paul. I had to sit for an hour past my scheduled time to see the doctor. I am not a well person, and came very close to having to leave. I did have to have my sister come in to help me. Had they called to tell me, I would not have been happy, but would have changed my appointment rather than make myself sick. Their office personnel needs to do better.","updateTime":"2026-01-22T17:54:08.506690Z"},{"reviewer":"E T","starRating":"FIVE","comment":"Dwayne was a 10/10 man. Professional, respectful, and kind.

I made this appointment to have my eyes checked, I have VSP eye insurance coverage. The receptionist demanded medical insurance card in case the doctor found something wrong so they could charge medical. Don't understand this policy, why do you advertise as an eye care provider if you don't accept eye care insurance? I would not recommend this location. That said the receptionist wasn't polite nor did she explain the refusal to accept VSP insurance coverage. Bad on you Pearl Vision.","updateTime":"2026-01-17T16:25:15.220811Z"},{"reviewer":"Rod Lenniger","starRating":"FIVE","comment":"Been seeing Dr. Pail for 25+ years.

I noticed that since my last appointment they have plastered the lobby and payment screens that a 3% merchant fee will be passed on to the customer. This is outrageous in itself for such an established brand. I declined to make a payment at that time as there was no reason for me to pay for their credit card services, and no advertisement or mention of mobile payment options. I stated at the desk that I do not carry my debit card with me for security purposes. At 12:46pm, I called back and made my payment, providing my debit card information over the phone. This is the only transaction I have made on this debit card, which lives in a desk drawer, in over 6 months. At 9:22am on October 14, I received a notification from my bank regarding two attempts to purchase $150 at Target.com. Pearle Vision is the only merchant that has received my debit card information.\n\n** Edited to two stars to reflect manager George reached out to me after leaving this review. He stated that the surcharge is a company-wide policy. He also stated that he would have waived this at the time of my purchase if the front desk had brought it to his attention. I was reminded that this charge would have been \"less than $3 total,\" but the point is that a nationwide company should not be passing this cost to the consumer - no other major retailer does. George was also concerned about the state of the debit card, which I appreciated. The event was obviously related to me providing my number over the phone to this location. After leaving this review I reviewed my debit card history. My last purchase on this debit card was well over two years ago, as this was as far back as my banking app allowed me to scroll.\n\nOne other item that I forgot to add in my overall experience was that when I went in the back to remove my contacts, there was an open and used contact lens case to the left of the sink. Because I watched her leave the back room, I had to clarify with the assistant that it was not the one I should use as it was from another patient. She said no and I did have to grab my own case out of the stack on the small desk in the back room. I'm thankful I had the intuition to ask to avoid any cross contamination from someone else's used contact lens solution!","updateTime":"2025-12-10T16:45:48.094009Z"},{"reviewer":"Patricia Yvette Gobble","starRating":"FIVE","comment":"Great doctor!

I figured I was already there and so I just gave in and payed for my glasses and was told they would be ready in two weeks. 3 weeks later I call them to see where my glasses are and the man that answered the phone said hold on let me check. I could over hear him talking to a lady who told him she forgot to put them for send off to the lab and that she thought she had done it. The man comes back on the phone and proceeds to say there was a delay at the lab and they would not be here until next week. When I raised my frustration at the over price coupled with this neglegent delay he told me that I had not waited that long and spoke to me like I had no right to be frustrated and that it was just one more week. After this treatment I will never give my business to this outfit and will be letting my entire Scottsdale office know what horrible service and high prices this place has to offer.","updateTime":"2025-11-15T18:33:11.965176Z"},{"reviewer":"Jason Brock","starRating":"THREE","comment":"I can't say enough about the optometrist that performed my eye exam, he was great.\n\nIt went south afterwards in the lobby when browsing through the various glasses on the wall.
