Texas State Optical

I have been going to Dr Marcaccio for years now… She is the best! Personable, efficient, knowledgeable and more importantly a caring person. A great listener and able to ‘translate’ my commonly described symptoms into a medical/​technical analysis in her brain and then revert back in common speak what is going on! Definitely recommend!!!

Angela Marcaccio is stunningly competent. She understands what’s going on in there, and she explains everything extremely well. I cannot even count the number of optometrists I’ve visited over the decades — it’s something north of 20. All have been reasonably good, or better. Dr. Marcaccio is in a different class. An advanced class, if you will. She is a superb technician and a patient and understanding advisor.

Ripoff. Doctor visit was great.
Frames were complete crap. My exam was on April 20 so got the glasses about a week later. The frames broke two months later. They replaced with same frame. New frame broke again in less than three months. Sorry, folks, that means you are schilling crap plastic frames at really EXPENSIVE price points.

I’ve been coming here annually for about 5 years now, but this time they have outdone themselves. I purchased a pair of glasses last week and after wearing them for one week I was unhappy with my choice of frames. They were so accommodating! No long explanation was needed. They told me to pick out another pair. Quite often for higher priced items you might get some static about returns and exchanges. But not this time! I’ll be back in the future.

Dr. Marcaccio is one of the nicest doctors I’ve ever had! She’s very personable along with the rest of the staff. When you pick out glasses, the workers give you plenty of suggestions on what will look good on you. I’ve never had to wait long for an appointment or for my glasses to come in after the order is sent.
Unfortunately, I got new vision insurance so I won’t be able to continue visiting this office :(This TSO is great and I’m glad they were able to get me my first pair of glasses and help me realize I am supposed to be able to see the street signs!

This was my first appointment with this TSO. The young lady that set my appointment was very nice and friendly. She also took me through the initial test before I saw the doctor. The young lady that greeted me when I came in was very nice as well as she gave me my new patient paperwork. There was another middle aged lady that was sitting at the front desk with her whose voice was kinda loud and she was having a conversation with a gentleman that was sitting behind the wall behind the desk. She was talking about the weather which was not a big deal and the day was very nice. The only thing was that she told the guy that at another location she apparently worked, they wore the same color scrubs that I had on. Lol, the funny thing was that she referred to me as «this little girl out here.» Thanks for the compliment but I am 45 years old… I would have liked for her to refer to me as «this lady.» Lol! This won’t keep me from coming back because Dr. Pezzia was sooooooooo nice. She was very helpful and made me feel comfortable even though my stomach was growling from hunger. I spoke with the other young lady that helped me order my glasses and she was nice and helpful as well. I have already told several people about my experience and recommended this TSO for their eye exams, etc. Thanks again!

I have gone to TSO since 1958. Most recently it has been the TSO Museum Dist on Main (past 5 years) since I moved about 8 blocks away.
The staff there has always been very friendly, attentive, and professional. And Dr Angela Marcaccio is always friendly and down to earth as she listens to you and talks to you like you’re a real person, not just the next client.

Have not been back since.

The staff here are extremely nice! They are very helpful with setting up appointments, ordering contacts, and picking out frames. I have seen Dr. Marcaccio both time I have been here, and she has always been very nice and quite prompt as well. I will continue to use this office for my optometry needs.

I have been wearing glasses and contacts for a long time, so I have had both good and bad experiences with optometrists and opthamologists throughout the years. My appointment with Dr. Marcaccio and the TSO-​Museum District staff was one of the best experiences I’ve had – one that was easy to book, informative, helpful, and relatively quick (as quick as an appointment to determine one’s eyesight CAN be!).
Booking was easy. No being put on hold for eternity, no rude «whaddya want?!» attitude. Just a pleasant check-​your-​insurance-​coverage, here’s-the-next-available see-​you-​then. PLUS, a call from the staff the day before to remind me of my appointment.
TSO’s interior was clean and well maintained. The front-​desk staff was cheerful and eased me into my appointment. The tests which were performed before my examination with Dr. Marcaccio were clearly and concisely explained to me, and attention was given to my comfort and comprehension. If there were any optional (read: extra money) tests, the staff member who was helping me didn’t try to pressure me into taking them, which I ALWAYS appreciate.
Dr. Marcaccio herself was very kind and informative, too. She wasn’t one of those who just looked at my tests and went straightaway to the «is 1 better or 2? 1 or 2? 1… or…2…» She took the time to explain all the tests results with me, even showing me the pictures of my eyes and pointing out where the gods of nearsightedness had cursed me. It was easy to build a rapport with someone who not only cared about my well-​being but showed it (and, yes, there’s a difference).
After my exam, another staff member helped me with payment and got me my eyeglass prescription with no hassle, no «well, instead of giving you your prescription, how about you get some glasses from us (though there glasses selection seemed numerous).»
I really had a pleasant experience with TSO, and I am DEFINITELY going to be a repeat customer. Inside the loop, no less!

Lost a screw in my Rx sunglasses while visiting TX on vacation. Conveniently located off The Strand. Quick and very friendly fix even for an uncommon sized pin. Big and stylish selection of frames, too. If I lived locally, I’d def be a customer!

Strange experience here — the doctor is pushy and clearly interested in forcing sales numbers up. Tried to order a box of contacts and was berated about the length of time I’d been wearing my contacts without replacing them — basically she wanted me to make a larger contacts order. The doctor went on at the front desk about her frustration with patients not following orders, etc. Totally unprofessional and just super odd.
I opted to get my trial pair and a receipt for the box I’d ordered over the phone and was there to pick up. which was not yet ready — decided to take my business elsewhere for a new pair of glasses.
Small boutique TSO location — very limited, unappealing glasses section and a doctor on some sort of power trip. My suggestion is to pass and make an appt elsewhere.

They’ve always done a great job explaining their procedures with me, and their selection of frames is actually quite good. They don’t carry the really off-​the-​wall funky vintage frames that Smith Opticians does, but they do carry some fairly unusual modern frames that I haven’t seen in other mainstream outlets, and even some of the other TSO branches. Their staff is very friendly and helpful, and most everyone I’ve dealt with there has great taste in frames.
