Central Square Eye Care, Dr. Geoffrey A. White

09/28/2007 Posted by robnager

A hidden gem! I have spent years searching for a place that is big enough to have a great selection of stylish frames but small enough to provide great service, it's usually one or the other. Central Square Eye Care is the perfect mix, I'm thrilled to have found out about them. Dr. White is a courteous, professional and caring practitioner. In my opinion, however, George is the real reason that I will never shop anyplace else for glasses. I know this will sound corny, however, he is the Leonardo of eyewear. It is so refreshing to see someone who so obviously loves what he does and is also naturally gifted at his craft. George is low-key, not pushy at all. He will also be honest about how something looks on you while making suggestions based on the shape of your face. He's so good that he could probably help you select the right frames with his eyes closed. After the selection is made George really shines, his technical skill and old-world craftsmanship are things to behold. I came in wearing a new pair of glasses that he had recently made and, after saying hello, he immediately asked for the glasses and began taking them apart in front of me because he noticed that they weren't fitting properly! That's not even why I came in to the store... If you are looking for a store that offers really fun frames (especially Lafont!) and where you can be absolutely certain that the staff will do whatever they can to make sure you love your glasses then this is your new eye care place. I hesitate writing this review because once the word gets out about these folks I won't be able to get near it...

Pros: Selection, surprisingly good prices and George, the eyewear superstar!

Cons: Parking.

This is, hands down, the best place I've ever gone to for glasses. A good friend first told me about Central Square Eye Care and had nothing but positive things to say about their service and selection. I decided to see for myself. I can always find a frame that I like, but can never find one that I love. Well, I fell in love with 5 frames and had trouble deciding which one to purchase. George was phenomenal and helped give me honest advice. He also helped me find frames that would fit my face (one of which I'm wearing right now). After choosing a frame, I realized that I didn't have an updated prescription with me. Dr. White brought me right back and in 1/2 hour, I had my new and improved prescription. I came out of my exam to find my fiancee with glasses on that looked amazing. He can never find frames that fit the bridge of his nose, but he didn't have trouble finding a gorgeous pair here. He ended up buying glasses the same day. I LOVE these glasses and am complimented on them everyday! Here's the unbelievable part. About 2 months after I bought my glasses, my dog chewed up the frames. I didn't know if they could be saved, so I called George. He told me to bring them in so he could try to fix them. After he looked at them for a few minutes, he took them to the back of the store, popped out the lenses (which were still in perfect condition), put them into a new frame (identical to the glasses I originally bought), and sent me home with new glasses - no charge. Outstanding customer service! I recommend them so often that I now carry around their business cards. If you're looking for unique frames and top quality customer services, this is the place to go!!!

Pros: Customer services, great atmosphere, fantastic selection of frames
