Had a great experience at Bittel Vision Care Center. From the minute you get there, you are made t... o feel welcome. My appointment with Dr. Matthew Bittel was very thorough. When picking out my glasses I got a lot of help from all of the girls there. I'm very pleased with my new glasses! They're beautiful. I'm very happy with the care I got .. so much so that I'm going to make sure that my son makes his next appointment at Bittel Vision Care.

This was the most thorough eye appointment I’ve ever had. The Dr was amazing. All my concerns we... re addressed and more. The lady that helped me picked out glasses was the BEST! She was completely honest with telling me what looked cute and what didn’t. I really appreciated how blunt she was. I will be returning there yearly for sure!
