Everyone is so competent and caring. How rare these days! I am older and loved the fact that no one called me dear or sweety. Everyone was so respectful!Louise
The selection is anything but ordinary. As someone who has never worn glasses until now, it's pretty fun to have super cool frames! Abby and Mariah were so much fun to work with, too:) Highly recommend!
Having experienced a corneal abrasion on a Friday evening I was in pain and couldn’t imagine I’d find an ophthalmologist on a Saturday morning but I was seen at Art of Optics in Wayzata. I was able to make an afternoon appointment but they called back saying that Dr. Hollenbach would see me right away as he new how painful that would be.Everyone in the office was kind yet professional and my issue was taken care of. I left the office a happy camper and have been telling my friends what a good experience I had. Thank you Dr. Hollenbach and staff.
I had an eye exam and they were very thorough, friendly and professional. Plus they have a great selection of quality glasses. The staff was quite helpful in assisting me and not pushy or sales-y.
My wife and I make the drive from northern Wisconsin to Wayzata whenever we need an exam or updated frames . Always worth the drive . Great doctors and staff !!
My family and I have had eye care here for many years, they are very thorough, professional and have a great selection of frames. I keep going back to them because I learn how to take care of my eyes.
Love, love, love their varied and unique eyeglass selection and wonderful customer service. Purchased two pair of glasses on my visit and will very likely be back for more. Josh was so patient and helpful with wonderful suggestions.
I have been going here over 20 years and always have great service. I love their eye exams as they are very comprehensive. The frames are a bit more expensive, but you are getting a higher quality frame and the lens amazing. This is one of the only places I can find frames that make the statement I am looking for!
Very friendly and professional staff. They provided the most comprehensive eye exam! Great experience. Dr. Whitman provides researched based analysis and treatment to complex eye concerns.
This was my first visit to Art of Optiks & I was extremely impressed with Dr Caroline and the state-of-the-art equipment in their clinic. She was very kind and experienced. Abby assisted me with a choice for new glasses & she was very friendly too. I will definitely be going back!
I’ve been coming here for over 20 years for eye care and eye glasses. I’ve seen both Dr. Tim and Dr. Whitman for my eye care. They are both exceptionally good and professional doctors. They have the state of art equipment for checking your eyes. They have treated my glaucoma and kept it manageable for many years.Oh, and let’s not forget their selection of eye wear! A little pricey but I assure you you’ll get compliments on your frames.
Very knowledgeable staff, professional and courteous. Doctors collaborate to best resolve your issues. Sincere and kind doctors with depth of understanding to assist you with your eyesight.
When it comes to routine eye exams, I find that it is the technician who really makes the difference (no shade intended for the docs). Let me tell you, Dana out of the Wayzata location is one of the best I've every encountered. Competent, efficient, pleasant and knew exactly how to answer questions. She is terrific. Highly recommend.
This was my first time at Art of Optiks, and I was absolutely blown away by how amazing it was! Dr. Victoria was incredibly kind and gentle, and made me feel totally at ease. Conor helped me find the frames that best fit my face, and he was outstanding! His professionalism, efficiency, and sense of humor made glasses shopping a fun and enjoyable experience. I couldn’t be happier with Art of Optiks! If I could leave more than 5 stars I would. I will definitely be returning!
Just completed my third annual eye exam, and I continue to be thoroughly impressed with the professional caliber of the exams and equipment, and yet the wonderfully personal demeanor of both the techs and Dr. Whitman.
First eye exam in a while and these guys were wonderful - explained everything and made me feel like to most important person during my entire visit. Would highly recommend them!
Excellent care and service, my wife has been going there for years, I recently had an issue with catching a piece of Azek plastic in my eye and they fit me in right away...They're my go to from now on with optometric needs! Highly recommend...
I have been going to Art of Optiks for years. They have great/amazing glasses that are unique. Their service is wonderful too. I have seen both doctors and they are very good.
The front desk staff are top-notch!! They are very kind and make you feel welcome and are helpful to get you signed in on their ipad. The updated office is beautiful and I am still impressed by all the state of the art equipment and incredibly knowledgeable doctors who keep a good pulse on my eye health and how to stay ahead of any future issues. There are places that are a bit cheaper and closer to where I live but this place is WORTH every penny and the drive.
the team at Art of Optiks are always focused on my specific needs. Chris has been excellent in helping pick frames that look good on me and continues to follow up with status on new frames
As an immune-compromised person during a global pandemic, I haven't left my house except to go to the grocery store in 5 months. However, it was necessary that I get an eye exam and I am so glad I chose to do so at Art of Optiks. They take extraordinary measures to make sure all patients and clients feel as safe and supported as possible. I was never once uncomfortable or afraid for my health. If you're immune-compromised or just looking for a safe medical and/or shopping experience in these times, Art of Optiks should be at the top of your list!
Art of Optiks- WayzataThe eyeglass lens are superior to any that my husband and I have had over our lifetime!If there are any issues with products, this WILL be resolved promptly.Friendly and KNOWLEDGEABLE staff!The business layout is meticulous, and as nice as an ART studio!LHJ, M.D.
Over the years, I have probably bought more than a dozen pairs of glasses from Art of Optiks. They are a terrific, family-owned business that is just the best. I would highly recommend them. And while you're there, have lunch on Lake Street in Wayzata!
Art of Optiks has been my favorite place to shop for glasses almost since they have opened. The selection of frames is outstanding and the professional and friendly service make the experience very pleasant. This visit was for an adjustment after I had a fall and seriously messed up the fit. So happy to have my glasses fitting well again.
Art of Optiks is off-the-charts amazing.... from exam to picking a stylish frame from their amazing assortment of frames. 💕 Dr Whitman is the most thorough eye Dr I’ve ever visited (my 6 year old also adores visiting her for check ups!). The staff in their optical boutique amazes me. After trying a few frames with my recent frame upgrade, Carolina listened to my desired look and pulled THE pair of glasses on the first pull. It was utterly amazing to me. ❤️ Thank you to the entire crew at Art of Optiks for keeping my family seeing well... and in style! 👍
I really like the Art of Optiks Wayzata eye exams for several reasons. 1) high tech exam equipment to monitor my eye health 2) very thorough/efficient exams with NO eye dilation and for me, that means NO down time. 3) attentive staff and great atmosphere 4) amazing selection of frames. Highly recommended!
Made the appointment. Got in quickly. I am a new guest and was made to feel welcomed like a friend.Had my exam (very high tech and through). In and out 1 hour and completely satisfied. Good "after the exam" follow-up as well!
As always, the entire staff was very professional. I was having problems with my vision and feeling very apprehensive about the changes I had noticed. The care and attention to detail that is always provided at Art of Optiks is second to none. I received a very thorough eye exam. Both Lindsay and Dr. Tim took time to explain everything that was going on with each exam. When we were finishing, Dr. Tim explained what all of the facets of the exam told him and how the prescription changes could correct it. He put my mind at ease once again! Thank you all at Art of Optiks!
Art of Optiks has been my preferred vision provider for several years. Really appreciate working with Dr Whitman and the team for their thorough, professional and friendly expertise. I’ve had various eye issues and I am confident with their care for my concerns.
I'm asked daily " Where did you get your glasses? Followed by "I love them!"Clean, high tech, wonderful, thoughtful employees all around.Last year I started having a vision irregularity. The doctor sent me immediately to the ER at the U. I'm so thankful for his knowledge. We were able to stop any further damage.
I had the pleasure of visiting this office for an appointment with Dr. Whitman. The staff was efficient, welcoming, and kind. Dr. Whitman was so professional and thoughtful throughout the appointment. They have all the latest technology so my appointment was quick, thorough and very pleasant. Highly recommend Dr. Whitman and the Art of Optiks!
Great service, and a very thorough eye exam with Dr. Whitman. I could tell she was very knowledgeable and detail oriented with the exam. When it comes to eyecare, that's what matters. Everything else (like the great service and showroom) is a cherry on top.I had an eye exam with contacts after my eye insurance changed. It seems that they have a great selection of high end frames as well, I will probably be back for a pair of Lindbergs in the future!
Although I have traditionally seen the superb Dr. Tim Haupert, on this visit I was examined by Dr. Whitman, who was incredibly knowledgeable and caring. First-class eye care in a warm environment.
The best eye experience I think I've ever had. I have avoided going to see an eye doctor for a few years due to having some pretty terrible experiences elsewhere, but this place is great. They took the time to explain my test results, showed the scans to me and explained what I was experiencing, allowed time to ask questions and thoroughly answer, and both the student doctor and Dr. Hollenbach were thorough, kind and gentle.This location also carries some very snazzy eyewear, which was a fun experience trying on! The woman helping me on the floor was fun and really hyped me up while trying different styles, haha. I ended up with a pair of sleek Matsuda glasses that I'm very excited and actually looking forward to wear.
I have been going here for the last few pairs of glasses and eye exams. I have seen quite a few optometrists in my life. The "Service after the sale" is incredible in today's marketplace. First class glasses too. I would highly recommend them.
We just completed our 2nd visit with Doctor Whitman and it went amazing! She is very good with kids- making them feel comfortable. We had a student (sorry forgot his name) that helped out and he did a great job of keeping my 4 year old engaged and comfortable.
Great store with wonderful service. enjoyed my appointment for the eye exam, very professional and efficient, and staff helped me pick out the cutest glasses which everyone loves
5 stars easily! Grew up in the area but now live out of town. Visiting family in town and had an eye emergency on the sat afternoon right before Christmas. Urgent care couldn't help, ER not having the personnel to help but Dr Whitman at Art of Optiks was able to see me just before they closed and dealt with the issue on the spot!!Stunning service and professionalism from the moment we entered the store.AND....I was a new patient, NOT an existing well established patient. Amazing. I'm going back soon for my prescription glasses needs.Don't hesitate. Call them today for your own GREAT experience.
Had the most thorough eye exam I’ve ever experienced with Dr. Hollenbach! After my exam, Josh helped me pick out a pair of Lindberg glasses that feel amazing. I can’t even tell have I glasses on because they are so lightweight. Amazing doctors and sales team. Cannot recommend art of optiks enough!
The doctor was excellent. She fit me in and diagnosed my painful eye condition. She had to refer me to a specialist for treatment and told me what I could obtain to lessen the irritation in the eye until I could be seen by a consultant. So grateful for the last minute treatment
I was pleased with my experience at the Edina location. They helped me understand the appropriate adjustment needed to my glasses to aleviate eye strain. Nice friendly place. Lenses are expensive but made on location.
I had a great experience with Dr. Whitman! She was very thorough and took the time to explain my specific prescription / diagnosis. I also had a great experience with Stephanie choosing glasses! Super glad I chose Art of Optiks!
Victoria is absolutely a master of her craft: quick, knowledgeable, genuine, patient, and understanding. From the beginning to the end the experience with Dr. Whitman was amazing and highly recommended!
the team at Art of Optiks are always focused on my specific needs. Chris has been excellent in helping pick frames that look good on me and continues to follow up with status on new frames
I am a new client of Art of Optiks and only recently have begun to use glasses. My first exam as someone over the age of 40 had my first exam from one of the big chain locations and didn't know what to expect. I left with a new pair of glasses and little instruction on how it was going to change my day to day. A year later, I was introduced to Art of Optiks and had my second eye exam just recently. The AMAZINGLY THOROUGH and EYE OPENING view of what my prescription is, how my vision is limiting, how my new glasses will benefit me was extremely valuable! The level of customer service was GREAT!! In addition, I was able to work with their SAVVY SALES TEAM to some great frames (lighter & super comfy) that I was sent away with. I highly recommend you give Art of Optiks a shot on your next eye exam or eye glasses purchase.
Everyone here is absolutely wonderful . Great team of employees. Dr. Whitman is priceless. She totally cares about you & very knowledgeable. Totally recommend Art of Optics for everyone.
I have been a customer of Specs since shortly after they opened. They are so good that I continue to buy my glasses at Specs even though I now live out of state.
I love the high quality of my frames and the crisp eyesight I have from the ultra-high quality lenses. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about their products and skilled in their fittings.
Great experience end to end from eye exam to eventual purchase of eyeglasses. The staff was incredibly friendly and courteous while going out of their way working with my insurance to ensure I received the most bang for my buck.
I am so happy with the service I received at Art of Optiks! Blythe was so helpful in picking out amazing frames! Her follow up by phone call and card was so thoughtful! She made me feel special throughout the entire experience! I will definitely be shopping at Art of Optiks next year for my yearly new pair!!Thanks Again for the wonderful purchase and experience!!Monique
Great team and amazing tech to check your vision. The team and Dr were incredibly hospitable and professional.Plus… the frames selection is AMAZING!I had a tough time deciding on which frames I liked most. Ha!Thx team!! My daughter said her visit was also too notch!
Really great selection and service! I was looking for a limited run pair of frames that I couldn't find anywhere else, and they actually had them in stock. Blythe was very helpful with picking out lenses and getting the frames correctly sized, and they wound up being ready almost a full week before I expected them to be. The frames actually cost a little less than I expected as well, which was another nice surprise. I came in a second time to get them adjusted again after a week or so and someone else helped me, and they as well were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend Art of Optiks to anyone.
I was able to go in with an appointment, Blythe was there and helped me pick out my frames. She definitely has a great sense of what looks good on a person. She helped me pick out a completely different style of glasses I was use to since I started wearing glasses. I love the glasses I have now. They fit very comfortably and look great on me. Thank you Blythe. :)
I almost never write reviews, but I have to say that Art of Optiks is that rare treasure that should be held up as the ideal of remarkable customer service and really killer inventory. They carry eyeglass frames that are unique, many one of a kind, made all around the world by artisans using materials like wood and horn and sterling silver, etc. You won't find anyone else wearing your eyeglasses if you bought them at Art of Optiks.I just purchased 3 new pairs of glasses, and 2 were shipped to me. The reason? The optimagicians didn't like some small detail or other so they are having the lenses in 1 pair remade for me. This small "flaw" is something I would never have seen, but their attention to detail is complete.Don't worry about not shopping with your best friend to find the perfect pair. The staff at Art of Optiks will tell it to you straight and help select a pair that is just right for you. This is a rare gem of an optical boutique and the only place that I buy eyeglasses.
Blythe was amazing throughout the entire process: selecting the perfect frame for my unique face shape, applying insurance wherever possible, providing ease of pick-up/final frame adjustment all the while being helpful, knowledgable, stylish, and kind.
