So first off: GREAT place, but an even more AMAZING Doc! Will definitely be back!
So I walked into target today to pick up some house hold items...and little did I know, that nestled in the very back of target is a new optical center, complete with eye exams and a wide array of glass selections! Knowing that it was just about time for my annual eye exam (in addition to the fact that my vision has been bothering me recently), I popped my head in to see what the place was about.
I was greeted by Dr. Ciobanu and Kaila at the optical center, and after engaging in a thoughtful and friendly conversation with them for a couple of minutes while browsing their glasses selection, I thought that this might be the right place for me to get my eyes checked! I filled out some simple paperwork and then was escorted back by Dr. Ciobanu to the exam area.
The office itself is very clean and has some of the latest technology in eye care (definitely had some stuff my old optometrist never had). She checked my eye pressure, visual fields, and focusing abilities on her machines, and then had me go back to get a full eye exam. Dr. Ciobanu explained to me each step of the way what exactly it was that she was doing and why she was doing it, and her voice and soothing manner just put me at ease in the chair with the exam. She took her time and didn't rush me, and went over the exam in fine detail to make sure I got the right prescription.
At the end of the visit, I was actually kind of blown away by the amount of professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness that were exuded by Dr. Ciobanu and the rest of the staff. Although she looks young, she definitely knows what she's doing and I will definitely be coming back for future eye exams! Moreover, the staff was great and friendly to work with, and were extraordinarily accommodating to my needs.
