Just completed my first visit to Rosen Optometry. I could not be happier. The front of office staff were helpful, patient and genuinely appeared to enjoy their job. The technical that did the preliminary review of my general health information and prep for doctor was engaging and knowledgeable. Dr. Ernst is the ultimate professional. He was thorough and took time to explain the results of the examination and made sure I was comfortable with his answers. You will not feel like you are just a $$$ with Rosen Optometry. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this business without hesitation.

Scott was friendly but also knowledgeable about how to fix my glasses so I could once again get a good focus. He gave me a good piece of advice that I had not heard before and that is I should bring my glasses in at least every three months to get them adjusted.

EDITED: Dr Tary was great, she was very informative and caring by herself she would get 5 stars if I could I would give 4.5 I would. My giving four stars is due to price tag issue. The tag on the frames looked like it said one price and after I made the purchase the glasses were actually $100 more. I might suggest larger prices on labels to make it more readable to those using year old glasses. Dr and Dr assistants were great, just not price tagging the frames with clearly readable price was my only issue.

Q&A with Dr. Ashley Tary

Dr. Tary Answers Your Eyecare Questions

I have allergies. Can I still wear contacts?

People with allergies. Daily disposables may actually help with eye allergies! Since there is less time for dirt or irritants to build up in the eye, daily contacts allow allergies a lower chance to flare up. Additionally, a fresh, smooth, clean, new lens surface every day is the gentlest option for irritated eyes.
