St. Lawrence Optometry East - Kingston, Ontario

I am 60 now and can honestly attest never have I experienced such a friendly, pleasant Optometry Office Clinic, located on Innovation Drive. The waiting area is comfortable for adults and children. The range of A1 quality eyewear product choices, huge! Dr. Yowakim and his technician were quite thorough, gentle, tests didn't hurt one iota of a bit. I was floored by their modern technology and the ability to diagnose problems, within minutes! The staff team are undoubtedly the best I've ever encountered. Very knowledgeable, answered my questions, provided tireless help and honest perspectives of prescription glasses I considered. I learned choices to consider for lenses based on my lifestyle. This office is vibrant, honest, positive. Everyone was cheerful, I felt like a valued customer who deserved the utmost in complete eye care needs. Best of all, I absolutely adore my new eyewear! They are from Eco, an environmentally concious company and part of the purchase will be donated to plant a tree somewhere on our precious planet. Added bonus as I wasn't aware of it when I chose this pair. I thank every team member from the bottom of my heart. P.S. One staff employee is also an extremely talented artist!

Do NOT go to the Innovation location! First time there looked for two pair of glasses. Was quoted a reasonable price. Unfortunately decided to pay up front (with credit card). Next morning worker called saying a mistake had been made on price. To get the same frames and correct lenses it was going to cost about $600 more!. A check was offered to reimburse me or a refund on my credit card. Or choose ugly frames that are available for the same price. I am angry that I'm paying interest on the credit card or will not get a check I can deposit today. Plus the extra gas and time making a special trip here. I feel THEY should honor the ORIGINAL frames/lenses that I in good faith paid for. If you choose to take the chance to go to the Innovation location be careful.

St. Lawrence Optometry is the best. Dr. Nazareth is amazing. She is so knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. The other staff in the clinic are equally knowledgeable in their respective positions, and again, very friendly and attentive to your needs. I've been to several other opticians over the years due to relocating frequently, and none of them can compare to Dr. Nazareth and the team here. I whole heartedly thank them & recommend them 100%

Since our move to Kingston four years ago St. Lawrence Optometry has served our eye sight needs. In particular Dr. Alex Yowakim has been our go to doctor when help is required. He is an excellent optometrist, personable, professional, very knowledgeable and extremely easy and comfortable to interact with. The staff is friendly, attentive and very complimentary to this business. The five star rating is well deserved.

Dr Nazareth sold me glasses and the prescription was too strong. After booking a follow up appointment (paid out of pocket) to tell her this she dismissed my concerns and did not assist with getting a lower script.

Highly do not recommend this establishment.

Our family had one successful eye appointment with this clinic. Then, we tried to book 3 times to get contacts over 6 months unsuccessfully. The first appointment came up during covid and as we heard nothing we called to confirm and were told to re-book. We were fine with this. Once things opened up we had an appointment a month in advance but called to check again as we heard nothing. We were told they were about to call us, but had not gotten to it yet and that we had to re-book. We then booked 2 months into the future to be sure it would be ok. Just called and were told exactly the same thing, that they were just about to call us and needed to cancel and re-book. After 6 months of trying to get the cllinic to keep an appointment we will be going elsewhere. 3 unhappy customers here.

Had a fantastic appointment with Dr. Chapman at the East end location. The staff before my visit were personable, warm, and very kind. They got me in as soon as possible and my time with Dr. Chapman was both enjoyable and educating. She explained what she was doing every step of the way and made me feel like I was an active part of the process. All in all a fantastic experience and very quick.
