Mid Hudson Optometric Associates, PC

I decided to give this place a shot because they accepted my eye and medical insurances. The girl who made my appointment was nice, but she really didn’t seem to know that much. She couldn’t even give me directions. The office was clean and the doctor was ok. I didn’t feel that he really spent time explaining my vision or what was going on. After the exam, I went out to look at frames. The selection was awful!!! They had maybe 5 different brands, the frames looked exactly the same and they were all the same size. When I said something to the dr, he didn’t want to hear it. He laughed and went onto say that he has been in this business for a long time and his girl who selects the frames is in her 20’s and she has been doing this for 10 years. He then went on to say that the people in that area won’t pay for designer frames. Well… I as there and was looking for designer frames. I ended up leaving without frames. I probably would not go back.

Great service and friendly atmosphere. Dr. Shulman is a true professional, takes time to explain things as well as listen to his patients. Jessica and Lauren are awesome!!! They are always very helpful and can help with anything from answering insurance questions to helping you pick out frames. Always a great experience, would recommend to anyone.

I brought my rimless glasses in to have the glass replaced with a new prescription. After a week I get my glasses back and there is a fingerprint underneath the anti glare coating. I brought them back and of course the girl plays dumb as to what’s wrong with them. So they send them out again to one of their labs they deal with. After over a week I am finally able to reach them (their answering machine always picks up) and the girl says the glasses failed the inspection and they have to remake the lenses again. I am so fed up with them!
I used to have my glasses done in an actual optical lab and have even walked through the lab so I see what goes on. I don’t know what kind of morons work at the lab they use.
Update: 3−6−13. Well since their lab screwed up so badly, they made my sunglasses for free. I wasn’t that pleased with the sunglasses. Some small scratches on the lens and major glare when looking through them.
Its been 2 months and they have remade my rimless glasses about 3 times now. I finally got them back today and there were two imperfections in the lenses.
Mid hudson gave me a full refund (after asking). I am happy with mid hudson but not the lab they use (lab is in pennsylvania).
