Reviews

Dr. Meffley and Staff are professional, thorough, friendly. They are genuinely concerned about my eye health and always go the “extra mile.” They are also readily available if you need contacts or eyeglasses repair. I highly recommend Defiance Optometric Group!

Dr. Sandy is very professional, knowledgable, and friendly.

Aug 15, 2019

The entire staff is great - from the time we (my husband and I do back to back Saturday appointments) walk in to the time we leave. Getting scheduling reminders, appointment info through post-exam follow-ups online allows us to make direct contact when most convenient for us. Wait time on arrival is minimal but would seem too long except that as I was the second appointment for the same doctor between my husband and me; he was taken back in less than five minutes.

Aug 13, 2019

Love the doctor. Not only is she thorough and my daughter in law but she is treats everyone as if they were her parents. We're proud of her.

Doctor Meffly and his group are second to none, they care about your comfort and with the utmost of respect. Shelly takes the time to help you with the decision of the best fit and style of glasses.

Mar 6, 2019

The docs are great, but the woman who did my intake needs to be retrained on how to take a person's blood pressure with the machine that they use. She did several things wrong which made my blood pressure appear much higher than it typically is. I kindly pointed out her mistakes and she laughed it off like it was no big deal. If the test result doesn't matter, then why do the test?

Mar 1, 2019

They are always respectful and seem to care about me and my needs. They rendered professional and quality services.

Aug 2, 2018

I didn't come in for an eye examination but only to have my glasses adjusted. I had an appointment for 3:30 and had to wait almost 40 minutes before I was seen. I realize the lady said it was due to people being on vacation but I feel that long a wait time is unacceptable.

Aug 2, 2018

It is always a worth while experience.

Aug 1, 2018

Dr. Tom Sandy gives a very thorough eye exam. He explains all procedures in language easily understood by the patient and the patient never feels rushed. Office staff are very friendly and everything is run with utmost efficiency.

Nov 22, 2017

I have been a patient of Defiance Optometric Group for 40 years, regardless of where I have lived and worked throughout the US, Canada and South America. The skill and knowledge of Dr. Meffley is second to none, but when you add the high level of customer service to the equation, Defiance Optometric Group is quite simply the best option for eye care anywhere. The customer service team have always treated me like I was the only and the most important customer, taking time to advise and guide me in my selection of frames and options for my lenses. I have a difficult vision Rx and I trust the recommendations and advice that I receive from the entire staff. Without a doubt, their goal is to correct my vision and provide the best possible frames and lenses and customer service to ensure that I can see clearly and my eyes are protected. Choosing another provider for your eye care is.....well....very nearsighted!

Nov 8, 2017

Always a pleasant place to be! and they want everything to be 100% to my liking!

Oct 26, 2017

Oct 13, 2017

I would prefer getting just one reminder by phone and email.

Oct 13, 2017

The doctors, technicians, and receptionists excel in their professionalism while providing a friendly and helpful atmosphere.

Very polite, helpful staff

Jan 2, 2017

Defiance Optometric Group is an excellent service for eye care and glasses recommendations. Every time I have had an appointment with Defiance Optometric, I have always left with greater knowledge about my eyesight. Whenever I have needed new glasses, they have arrived within 2 weeks after my appointment, and they have corrected my vision perfectly.

Dec 22, 2016

Dr. Stein is very good. Several years ago I had a detached retina. The eye surgeon who corrected the problem told me that Dr. Stein was very competent and to contact her if I have any problem.

Dec 19, 2016

Appointments are always on time and a nice experience!

Oct 22, 2016

I always look forward to my visit with Dr. Sandy and his team. They are always very kind and most helpful.

Sep 19, 2016

Nice staff, no complaints in general. The optometrists might make you wait five or ten minutes, but they are pretty quick and knowledgeable. Exams for contacts and glasses combined run 145 bucks (without insurance) so that might be something to think about. I expected it to run about a $100 price tag based on Google searches, but maybe your insurance will make it cheaper, I don't know. I didn't really find out the price until they swiped my card.

Sep 4, 2016

very good ==appointment went very well

Aug 27, 2016

I could not ask for better service. Thank you, especially Shelly. She knows how to fit my glasses and goes above and beyond to help me.
