I was very satisfied with my first visit to the Yorkville Eye Centre. I have never worn glasses before and was very impressed with the testing machinery and thoroughness of Dr. Patel. The staff were very friendly and reassuring through the process, as it has been so long since I have had an eye exam, I had never seen any of the new machines. The sales staff were extremely helpful and patient, and provided many options for my first frames. The pricing was also much less than I expected, which was a nice surprise. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend Yorkville Eye Care to others, especially first time glasses wearers.

I’ve been coming back here for follow up many times already! Dr. Xu Leah is honestly super friendly and patient.
My English isn’t good, but she always communicates with me politely and takes the time to figure out what’s going on with my eyes.
My right eye has had issues for over a year, and I’ve seen a lot of eye doctors who just gave me medication without really trying to find the root of the problem.

Very polite and pleasant staff. The entrance and exit for someone with a walker or wheelchair is very complicated. Signs pointing to the obscure entrance would be helpful.

Once inside it takes some time before you are taken in for the preliminary tests which are not done by the optometrist with whom you signed up. After those tests, you are made to wait in another room. From there you are taken for the real eye exam and tests.

My problem is that it is mentioned on the brochure that if you are 5 minutes late you will have to book another appointment BUT the wait between tests is between twenty minutes to half an hour. If the optometrist's time is valuable so is the patient's. I feel that we should be given more respect!

Why can the tests and the exam not be done by the optometrist all in one sitting?

I will be returning the eyelash wipes that were recommended to me by the optometrist. I feel that this is all a gimmick.

Your office came highly recommended--my experience last year was more efficient. This year, not so much.
Friendly and very professional staff.

I had previously had a very negative experience at a totally different optometrist - basically, he told me I had a tumour and sent me to the hospital only for a specialist to tell me what I had was a "variation of normal". As a result, I shut down from visiting the Optometrist for five years.

Fast forward to my appointment at Yorkville Eye Care and I couldn't have been more thrilled with the service received from the moment I checked in to the end of my appointment. Front line staff were kind, courteous and attentive. Dr. Patel thoroughly answered all my questions, provided substantive information, and ensured I left comfortable and confident.

Will definitely be going back!

Super impressed with the comprehensiveness of the exam and the state of the art equipment. I appreciated the doctor showing me the inside of my eye - awesome. Also the appointment was not too long, which i greatly appreciated. I'd recommend and I'd go back.
The assistant who did some of the testing lacked some personality and warmth - only negative.

Dr.Patel did an outstanding job of explaining things and answering all my questions about a variety of eye issues and concerns. No hint of upselling despite the Lenscraft location. I think this was the best of half a dozen eye specialists I've consulted over the past decades.

I have been going to Iris - and way back when it was Crown Optical on Yonge Street, - for many, many years.

I am very grateful for the years of eye glasses (and good record keeping) and always helpful suggestions.

And I also appreciate the excellent eye exams and medical care.

Everyone is very willing to work with my insurance plan and budget
That is an important plus. Also to help get things rapidly fixed or replaced.

And everyone was excellent during Covid.

I am posting this review as a longtime, happy customer and patient
of Iris (Crown Optical)

Impressed with the service, medical guidance and timeliness of my appointment. It was easy to book the appointment on-line and I was welcomed right on time. Very clean, efficient eye exams and thoughtful diagnosis, with a clear treatment plan shares. The only process step I suggest for a patient like me who was seeking assessment of a specific eye issue, rather than a general eye exam, is for the doctor to see ther patient right up front before moving to have all the imaging and pressure tests, so that the tests are crafted to the specific patient issue. Thanks and I am already recommending your services to friends.

Idk about their eye care because I didn’t get served. I asked for making eye exam appointment and a lady asked me to wait to be served. I waited for 6 7 minutes, nobody on the reception desk then another lady asked me to book appointment online. If you don’t accept in person appointment making just tell me at first rather than ask me to wait. So disappointed as I can get immediate appointment booking in any other stores.

The eye exam was fine but the location is not accessible and I was forced to go the back way like some third class citizen and all of that extra walking became painful and exhausting. There is no reason why a ramp couldn't have been added to one of the front entrances. The excuse that it would encroach on the sidewalk doesn't wash: they could have moved the store back a bit and made room for a ramp. They obviously don't want walk up business except from those in perfect condition. Please note: anyone with accessibility or mobility needs is NOT welcome at this new location. They spit on us. I will not be returning unless there is a ramp at the front entrance. So the exam and the people gets five stars but the lack of accessibility means no stars for the overall experience but it won't let me post without indicating a star so I have clicked on one but I really mean zero. I know when I am not wanted. Perhaps the optometrists need to move to an accessible space so that this does not impact their practice negatively?

Hello My Name is Nanda Banerjee.
I recently visited Yorkville Eyecare for an eye checkup with Dr. Sara Samii, and I couldn't be more pleased with my experience. From the moment I walked in, the receptionist Mady greeted me warmly and made me feel welcome. The facility itself is top-notch, equipped with the latest machines, ensuring a thorough and efficient examination.But what truly sets Yorkville Eyecare apart is the exceptional care provided by Dr. Sara Samii. Despite her recent location change, I made it a point to follow her because of her excellence in patient care. Dr. Samii's warm demeanor and expertise put me at ease throughout the appointment, and I left feeling confident in her diagnosis and treatment recommendations.Overall, I highly recommend Yorkville Eyecare and Dr. Sara Samii to anyone in need of comprehensive eye care. Their professionalism, warmth, and commitment to patient well-being make them stand out in the field.
Excellent service with warm welcome. From the minute you walked in yiu were treated with a friendly smile followed by Excellent customer service. The staff at Yorkville Eye Care is worth coming back and will definitely recommend them to others. Dr Sami and the Madeline (front staff) keep up the good work..

Was a new patient and had initial eye exam. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The Dr. Sara Samii was really nice and efficient and explained everything. The lens crafter staff are also really friendly and helpful to find a well suited pair of glasses that fit your style and face shape. I'll continue being a patient here as it was a great experience.

The doctor explain everything you need to know and take the time to ask question about you. I"m young, my eyes were very healthy. The technology used is I think advanced. This is why I think it's overpriced, 180$. If you just want to go and have blue Light screen glasses because you do a 9-5 job in front of a screen. There's other clinic who proposed an eye exan for less than 100$. But for people with serious eyes problem and want high quality service I would definitely recommend, doctor is very competent and there's a lot of frame choices.

First on Google it's called Yorkville Eyecare but it's hard to find because it's actually a Lens Crafters...
The practitioner that took care of me was very short and didn't explain the process so I was taken off guard. The doctor was insightful and made the process easy for me to understand

I think the receptionist working during the weekdays is allergic to the phone.. I had an appointment and called 4 times for an hour before my appointment to reschedule. After not hearing back I decided to go but was running 10 minutes late. She then called me back and told me because I was going to be late and the doc has other appointments I would have to wait……
I cancelled my appointment. I even called a day before for something else and no one answered.
Everyone’s time could have been saved by picking up the phone.

I’m sure their eye care service is great but I had a long morning, it’s freezing cold outside, and I already was on the subway by the time she returned my call. So not a good way to start the day.

PS. The new space is absolutely stunning!
From start to end, the care I received was amazing! With advance technology, I was able to learn more about my overall health based on my eye health. I really appreciated the staff and Dr that assisted me today!

I am a long-time patient of Dr. Sammei I have always enjoyed the thorough, professional appointments and friendly, open demeanor. I was somewhat disappointed during my recent appointment. Previously, the assistants were helpful and warm. I found the assistant this time to be somewhat condescending and her aggressive manner added to my stress, rather than minimizing it. I felt pressured.

Regarding the exam itself, Dr. Sammei was not as explanatory and detailed as before. Explanations were rather quick compared to previous visits. Also, the retinal exam was done by machine and not discussed at all. I will only hear from her about it if there are "problems".

I find this approach less than reassuring. Previously we viewed the retinal scan together and discussed various aspects together. I realize that the retinal scan technique has changed but I think that a detailed discussion of the scan is important.

In summary, I found that my recent appointment was markedly inferior to the excellent, professional, in-depth and friendly service that I have received in the past.

I've been going to Yorkville Eye Care for 4 years with Dr. Sara Samii. Location is great and easy to find. Everyone (receptionist & optometrist) is always friendly & patient. Billing with insurance provider is easy. They also give generous samples of contact lens if you go for a contact lens fitting. Sometime the wait to be seen can be long, but that just depends on the time of the day and the day of the week. Overall, always a great experience and highly recommend!

After giving a 1 star rating, the owner responded saying I’m not a patient. Wow, great way to maintain reputation.

Don’t tell me to call if I have any questions or if I’m following up for the 300th time to get my doctor’s prescription. your concierge just won’t pick up the phone or won’t do anything.

We had a wonderful experience at the 33 Bloor street east location . Kind and very helpful staff! Treated my little princess great staff was not bothered by my daughter and her active self while we waited to be seen by Dr. Sara . Ana was very kind and sweet and very helpful during our hour long of picking which frames to get . The technician who did my pressure test and all the other tests ( wish I got her name ) was great , kind and understanding . Dr. Sara was kind, warm and knowledgeable and very soft spoken I didn’t feel rushed , felt understood and felt she cared about my concerns. Third time going to lens crafters leaving satisfied . Super satisfied that the photos are included in the exam usually at other places this is extra!
Look forward to picking up my glasses soon!

Thank you for all your help!
Today was my first visit to this Lenscrafters’s/Yorkville Eye Care and I was quite impressed. I’m disabled and use a power wheelchair and although the street entrance has yet to have a ramp installed the staff took me through to entrance of the adjacent building and into the eye clinic which is at the rear of the Lenscrafters’s store. Very nice store indeed with extremely polite well presented sales associates.

I was most Impressed with Dr. Sara Samii and Associates practise and in particular, Dr Samii who was extremely patient and helpful throughout the exam. She was very professional and took me through all the steps. I felt very comfortable with her and she always asked if there were any questions that I needed answered. I use a lot of eye specialists for various issues but I shall add Dr Samii to my support team and she will become my regular Dr.

You can tell immediately that their clinic which by the way is immaculate and modern that you are in good hands. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and treated me with the utmost respect.

I highly recommend Dr. Samii and Yorkville Eye care to anyone in need of an optomitrist and eye care.

Best eye exam experience ever!
From the receptionists till doctor every person was super helpful.
I found there from google, booked the appointment easily and visited the clinic. Dr Sara Samii visited me and my husband , she did a very comprehensive examination, showed everything to us on the computer and prescribed my contact lenses, she diagnosed my husband that he has a serious retina problem. He is referred to the retina specialist in a day and completed his eye surgery in 1 week with the help of dr Samii. The receptionists even sent me the copy of his medical report and scans.
I say a big thank you to her and the team.
Thank you very much!

Atiya is my daughters optometrist. She examined my 5 year old daughter and even put the drops in her eyes to open her pupils. She was so amazing and patient. She was great at explaining exactly what our options are and made her and I feel comfortable. I highly recommend her. My experience was stress free and relaxed.

I just moved to the city and needed a new eye doctor and Dr. Samii had great reviews, so I booked and had a great experience! The whole team was lovely, the exam was super fast and it was so cool to see the retinal imaging - I also got lost on my way to the office and the girls at the desk helped me out and gave me very good directions over the phone! Awesome experience overall
