I am so grateful to Whitby Vision Care and especially to Dr. Pamela Schmitz, I went to her thinking my eyesight was not as good as it was and she after doing some tests recommended that I go to emergency with all of the test results that she had given me. If she had not caught the issue I would have lost my sight. I cannot thank her enough for the care that she provided to me since I became a patient of hers. Thanks a million, Caroline

This is the worst place for customer service.
I was helping my mother with purchasing glasses.
I was told I could assist her as she has a hard time seeing and needed the help.
When arrived at the store I was rudely told I could not enter as it's only one person per family, but others were entering no question asked even a family of 6.
The staff here are rude
Only let me in when they wanted the payment, also payment was made at the rear of the store not at front desk, guess covid protocol doesn't exist when they want payment.
Definitely will never recommend.
Update, received a reply from

Wow! Big shout out to Julie at Whitby Vision Care. My elderly mother in law (who has advanced alzheimers}, broke her glasses. Julie was able to remove the lenses, find new frames they would fit into, all within a half of an hour, and didn't charge us. I truly appreciate such amazing customer service!!!!! Thank you so very much. You made a sweet little lady very happy!

Today I picked up me first pair of prescription glasses which I need for reading. My experience at Whitby Vision Care was great from start to finish. Dr. Ketha was very nice and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. The person that helped me pick out my glasses, Meme, was great. Since it was my first time I thought it would take forever (I have a hard time finding sunglasses that look good) but it was really fast. I only had to try on two pair. When I went to pick up the glasses there was a bit of a mix up, right lenses, wrong frames. I'm sure this is not a common mistake. Meme found the correct

After 20+ years of being with Dr. Schmidt, I've decided to quit being a patient here.
Not once in more than 20 years have I ever had an appointment that actually started on time. I'd be forgiving if the quality of the service merited staying but it no longer does .The sheer number of patients that she and her colleagues see cause lengthy, delayed appointments and it's gotten worse over time.
The last straw was my latest set of glasses. 4 visits, a new pair of glasses and $800 dollars later, I still cannot see properly from the right eye. I've explained the problem numerous times but they seem

I made an appointment which when I showed up to it, was told it had been cancelled months prior. No attempt to reschedule it was made, even when I called to complain about their cancelling it.
A basic failure of courtesy and competence. Highly unprofessional in both the original mistake and how they tried to cover for their failure in taking care of their patients. I know for a fact others have had their appointments cancelled as well.
I need glasses. Rest assured that I will spend a good long while recommending other vision care clinics.

I have been to a few optometry clinics over the years in the area and this is by far my favourite! The staff are very friendly and accommodating. I saw Dr. Jeannie Wong and she was wonderful. A very knowledgeable and caring doctor, she listened to all of my concerns patiently and was very thorough in her exam. I received BlephEx treatment from Amanda (she was great! friendly and professional) for Blepharitis and left feeling so much better than when I had arrived. I highly recommend this office and trust them for all of my eye concerns.

I have been seeing Dr Schmitz for my eye care for years.
Not only is she a wonderful and knowledgeable Doctor, also a kind and caring person who takes her time and gives her full attention to her patients!
The rest of the staff at Whitby Vision Care are always helpful and give great service to their clients!

Whitby Vision Care is by far the most professional, caring and punctual optometry clinic/business I have ever come across. Dr Schmitz went above and beyond to ensure that my eyes received the best treatment and her entire staff goes the extra mile. The appointments were always on time and I was never held up or had to wait needlessly. Even when I had an emergency and did not have an appointment, I was seen by an eye doctor within 15 minutes of walking in. This will be the ONLY place I will go to for anything that has to do with my vision. Highly recommend this institution. It's one of Durham's
