Reviews of Stonewire Optometry (Ophthalmologist)

Zaks Mitara

I had an issue with what I believed was an unfair charge, and the staff was cooperative and helpful. Every doctor I've interacted with here has been friendly and educational, explaining things well!

Ashley Vardy

I went to stoneware optometry on February 23, 2021. The staff was very polite and professional. Dr. Sobolewski was very knowledgeable and calming. He really explained what was going on with my eyes. It had been 5 years since my last appointment at a different eye clinic. Turns out my prescription was wrong the entire time. I'll definitely go to Stonewire again.

J.R. Dennis

Kirsty Cameron

RUDE Staff. The eye doctor didnt do my perscription right and gave me the wrong contacts. She made me put the contact in my eye even though it fell on the dirty floor. The contacts were simply blurry because they were not my exact prescription. If a doctor knows they are blurry they shouldnt just send you out the door. I told her the last pair of contacts I had were really clear because they were actually my prescription and she tried to tell me to being that exact prescription in when i went on to get a different one NOT the same one. I also booked for a contacts eye exam and they examined me for glasses and had no idea I was getting an exam for contacts when I told her about two times. This place is a waste of time and the doctor doesn't know anything. Go to lens-crafters instead and save your money.

Dr. Sobolewski is amazing with kids. He is friendly, personable, and treats them like big kids. He talks directly to the kids which makes them feel valued. We travel 2.5 hours to see him. We love Stonewire!

Neetu GK Purewal

My doctor, Dr holtz is amazing, he is the only reason i keep going back however the girls up front are rude and passive and just seem like they don't care about anyone coming or going. I'd get new staff someone who takes customer service seriously.. I was ordering a prescription and i asked for a phone call and the girl looks up with a look on her face that says "i don't care" and says I'll text you. Unprofessional! I will be finding a new optometrist which sucks because the doctor is great but i would rather not put up with the front ladies. Always make me feel unwelcome.

Maryanne King

Dr. Holtz was awesome- very friendly. He spent a decent amount of time with me & got to know my concerns. He explained my prescription and the changes since my last eye checkup thoroughly. I very much appreciated my appointment with him. The people at the front desk were terrific as well, and very patient with me, as I'm fairly sensitive to some of the precheckup tests. Probably the best optometrist office I've been to yet, and after being to some real duds, I appreciate the time and care Stonewire gives to their patients.

Tracy Nelson

Dr SheyZeen Dhala did a very thorough exam and helped my husband find an optical (Lenscrafters) that could get him glasses same day since he should not have been driving lol! Highly recommend her!

spracejus

It was a difficult exam for a senior citizen who is very hard of hearing. The staff was patient and kind.

David DeNeire

I'm 43 and have been putting off going for an eye exam for at least the past 12 months. Spent the day indoors on Saturday (so ridiculously cold here in Edmonton), which meant a stop into Kingsway Mall. The ladies upfront were able to accommodate a walk-in appointment for us and got us set up right away as new customers with direct billing to my out of province insurance provider. Dr. Ross is a bit of a rockstar, I appreciated his thoroughness, and the education that he provided me on the state of my old eyes. All and all it was a great experience, despite the fact I now will be wearing readers. Thanks again Dr Ross and staff, all the best on your next triathlon. ~ David D.

Nick Keyko

Saw Dr. Jeff Holtz for a routine eye exam. He was really friendly and efficient. I only had a slight change in my prescription and Dr. Holtz explained the pros and cons of changing out the lenses in my glasses. I liked that he wasn't salesy or pushy - just gave me the info I needed. The clinic is really cool and modern - different (in a good way) than most other optometry clinics. I'll also mention that the front desk staff was super friendly. Overall a way better experience then I've had at any other optometry clinic.

Nancy -Narges Azizi

I’ve been seeing Dr. Jeffery Holtz for 7years and he truly cares about his patients and takes his time treating my eyes (living with a rare) great manners and professionalism.

Steffanie Holden

Dr. Ross McKenzie is one of the best! I have had yearly eye exams with him for over 10 years and always leave feeling confident about the services and information I received. Thank you!

anna t

I really like the people that work there they were very nice, polite and the doctor answered all my questions and then some I really felt at ease with him. Thank you for taking the time to examine my eyes

Cathy Shupac

Very professional staff. They are caring and knowledgeable. Dr. McKenzie takes his time and explains fully to his patients.

Wilson T

Everyone was very professional, had a great experience for my first eye exam in almost 15 years. Dr. Holtz was great and super friendly and helpful. Mikayla (didn't catch how to spell their name) was also really professional and did a great job anytime I wasn't with Dr. Holtz.

Jackie Meloche

I have been going to Stonewire for years, for good reason. Dr MacKenzie is a very thorough and pleasant doctor. I always feel good after testing, as he doesn't have a negative attitude.

Dustin Dang

Friendly and professional. Natasha is cute.

Christiana Dizon

The staff here are amazing. I have sensitive eyes and always have issues with pre exam procedures. The staff are always patient and try their best to help me get through the pre exam. The optometrists always take time to explain the changes to my eyes and how my eye health is. My daughter has also started going here and both optometrists she has seen have been great with her at her young age. If you want thorough and professional service, I would come here. Appointments can also be made well in advance and online. A bonus for busy individuals who need to come off work hours.

Kendall Barber

My kids love Dr. Matt - he’s fun, friendly and really knowledgeable. My 3-year daughter can’t wait to go back to the eye doctor. She loved the fancy machine that takes photos of her eyes.

Audrey Friesen

Dr. S was awesome, super informative!

Corey Conroy

I had a great experience with Dr. Holtz. It was a great optometry appointment; however, front desk staff, follow-up and trying to order contacts has proven to be far too difficult and very unhelpful.

Lianne Ens

They had the best pricing I could find for an eye exam. I was able to make an appointment the same day, and was happy with the service.

J P

I just called inquiring about being a new patient, informed your admin that I just had an eye exam 6 months ago and that I could have my optometrist fax it to you--she told me that you wont recognize it because your office wants patients to have an exam EVERY 6 MONTHS... I tried explaining to her that the going rate is every 1-2 years, but she insisted that your clinic wont let me purchase eyeglasses with a 6 month old exam. Ridiculous. If that's your policy, it might be masked as patient care, but its overkill and borderline blatant money grab. Hard pass.

Michelle Pugh

We came in due to one child suffering from moderate eye irritation; because of a light appointment schedule that day Stonewire was able to accomodate all three for an annual exam. The various portions of the exam were done back-to-back for each child and each member of the team was ready to go (special thanks to the front desk staff who took our file info once - new clients - and let me wrangle kids while she handled the rest). The entire exam process took about 1hr, 15 min for 3 people. All results were clearly explained, questions answered (from my children and myself), and at no time did we feel rushed. I brought the family in because of my own positive experience last year and was not disappointed. The team is professional and works well together and it's obvious in their great service delivery. I feel we were well and efficiently taken care of.

Ally Logics

Extremely friendly and professional I highly reccomend this optical experience to everyone. Fast, no wait time, and clean.

Aaron Caouette

As always the service was excellent very friendly and pleasant and the staff are always ready to assist you in anyway to make sure that everything's working to get the best results for the eye exam ????????????

Jaelyn Piasetzki

Great clinic! Girls who work the front desk are nothing short of wonderful. I phoned needed contacts ASAP as I had misplaced my second set of boxes. The girls were so kind and very helpful in providing me with fast service and even giving a set to make it through my soccer game that day! Also I adore my Dr. as he always explains every step and goes through results and concepts in a down to earth and understandable way! Thanks for your great customer service! I will continue to use you as my optometrist!

Greg Bosse

I called them an hour before they closed on Good Friday in a panic for contacts as I was leaving for a trip the next day. They were able to accommodate me and provide me contacts that day! They are amazing!

John Ward

The optometrist was busy, but didn't forget about me. All the staff were professional. I feel like my eyes got good treatment. I got a nice pair of glasses on the way. I'm satisfied.

Ramneek Sidhu

I saw Dr. Puneet Randhawa and I had an amazing experience. She is very attentive, patient and personable Doctor. She patiently and carefully examined my eyes, listened to my concerns and made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Puneet & thank you.

C Martinez

Stonewire Optometry is by far the best Optometrist store for our family. We have been coming here every year and have not had one bad experience over the years. This June, I saw Dr. Sheyzeen Dhala and she is fantastic. I told her the truth about how I felt about the Pearle Vision store (which is located next to the practice), and how we will continue supporting Stonewire Optometry but will not support their next door neighbours. Dr. Sheyzeen listened without judgement and it was appreciated. She was thorough and even said, I could bring my eyewear once I purchase them to verify the new eyewear prescription if I desired. The ladies at the front desk are quick, efficient and very helpful during the initial parts of the assessment. They keep the area clean, disinfected (COVID-19) and there was instructions to keep us all safe. Way to go! To note, that we have also been seen by Dr. Ross McKenzie (in the past) and he is excellent as well, very personable, provided explanations on our individual assessments, kind and answered all questions. I would definitely recommend Stonewire Optometry for all members of the family. Whether you require glasses or contacts, they are the ones to come to! Thank you for your continued professionalism and your understanding of our needs in these times. Keep it up!

Danny Electronics

They did a good job for my son, really appreciated and recommended.

Andres A

Thank you Dr. Holtz and you wonderful staff. This week I had an emergency (something got into my eye). I came into their office as an emergency, and they all help me right away even though I've never been at their office before. Dr. Holtz and his staff went above and beyond to help someone in need. I can not express how grateful I am for your help and for your quick actions that prevent having any damage on my eye. God bless you all!

Kim P

Friendly staff and quick and efficient. I will 100 percent reccomend.

Robert Mccombie

Had my first visit to Stone Wire today. Could not have been more impressed with the entire experience , from booking my appointment with Liz, and Paige, Dr.Dhala’s Assistant. Extremely thorough and professional in every way!!

Rhonda Trodd

Very professional I would definitely return and recommend

Garry Ingram

Prompt, friendly and professional service and a large established optical shop next door. I recommend them.

Tempestt Quinonez

This place is not even worth 1 star. VERY RUDE incompetent girls at the front desk. I booked an appt for the very next day and they neglected to tell me I needed to bring 2 pieces of photo I.D. for my appt. When I showed up the girl tried to lie and say she told me yesterday to bring my photo I.D. I then was going to go elsewhere and she told me they will charge me $110 and they already charged my insurance. That is VERY illegal. They are not legally able to charge any insurance until after the services are rendered. They are only allowed to send a predetermination or call and get a pre approval. This place is a joke. Save your money and go elsewhere !!!!!!!!

Neelu Bajwa

Amazing staff and Dr. Randhawa is one of the best. She has been taking care of our family's eyes for years. I am so grateful to her for correctly diagnosing issue with my son's eyes when he was very young. My son loves going there for his checkup. Thank you.

Neville Longbottom

Unfortunately the exam was having me feeling quite ill, but the optometrist and staff did an incredible job of going slowly through everything and giving me space when the appointment was over to sit and breathe. I was told that getting ill is actually not too uncommon as the exam hits a particular nerve - and this really did reassure me! I had been so embarassed but they put me at ease.

J Matvichuk

Wonderful friendly staff. Being able to book online is a fat addition to your services. Thank you so much for your good work.

Shawna Warner

Very professional, and explained alot more to me than any other optometry office has done before. They were awesome and definitely going back. If I went to them before my lasik eye surgery, I would never had my surgery done!!!!

Derek Tylke

Quick, cheap exam and friendly staff.

Margaret Carriere

Everyone was very professional and polite.

R D

Dr. Mackenzie is a great optometrist. He’s always treated me kindly and has been a true professional… And not to objectify him, but to simply compliment him; he’s very, very good-looking, so this also helps. See you next year Stonewire!

Cevdet Karaceper

Something in my eye it hurts badly I went to see the doctor for it and he checked out told me there was a stone very small stone he put some thing to make my eye numb so I didn't fee any thing 20 minutes layer when the numbness faded a way I can still feel it the stone still in my eye it hurts and I can feel the stone in my eye so I went back to explain the doctor it .s still in my eye it hurts I can feel the stone ...the doctor tells me to go home sleep you will get better in the mornin wow I guess he is not 5aking the patient s seriously that's what I will do if I loose my eye I guess have to go back to him for some answers

Goo glesucks

Extremely poor service. When i entered the store at 1615 hrs, The lazy person at the front said they were closed. The internet says 1645. The front door was also open. Not impressed, wont go back, will not recommend.

Carl Blewitt

Efficient .friendly staff

Angela Christanson

Great staff. Very professional. Dr. Holtz took the time to explain everything.

Kate Spencer

I really like Dr. Holtz. I've had glasses since I was 9 years old, and I've seen a few different optometrists. Dr. Holtz is not only a great optometrist, but also a great healthcare worker. He takes time to explain things to you, and is caring and informative. I usually don't like going to the optometrist (it sucks feeling like you can't read the letters!), but I'm comfortable going to Stonewire. At my latest visit, I mentioned I was planning to purchase my next set of glasses online and the staff were very helpful. I didn't feel judged or scorned upon for this decision. If anything, they took extra care to explain what each part of my prescription meant. When I moved to Edmonton, I chose Stonewire solely because it was conveniently located near my work. However, I'm happy with the care I've received and don't plan to change offices any time soon!

Tonya Holowaychuk

I have been seeing Dr. Ross McKenzie now for a few years. I had not been able to find a Dr. for over 10 year who was able to uncover the issues I have had with my blurred vision and it had been extremely frustrating. Not only has he figured out the problem but he has walked me through step by step what to expect how things will progress and be treated. He has a great sense of humour and is really good with my young son as well. I have referred others to him and appreciate his expertise very much. The other piece is that he keeps very much up to date with latest trends and technologies in his field.

Guadalupe Schraeder

The staff was very friendly and the Dr. was very nice, friendly and knowledgeable. Yes I’ll go back for my next exam

Lance Lang

very caring

Chris M

Dr. Holtz was pleasant and professional. Staff were quick and friendly, whole appointment was thorough and seamless.

Dalal Abdelgadir

Great with kids!

Stacey B

My hubby and I went for exams today in St.Albert with Dr.S.Dhala. We were nervous as we hadn’t had the greatest experience else where. Anyway...I just thought a review was important as this Dr. is amazing! I have anxiety and she was so kind and caring. She answered every question we had, didn’t rush us. We will be seeing her from now on for our eye care needs. Thanks so much for the amazing, professional care!

Tim M

Dr. Jeff Holtz is fantastic! He was great with myself and my 2 boys. He was very thorough and took the time to explain everything. My kids really enjoyed the experience. I would recommend him to anyone.

Fay Poholko

Friendly, professional staff all throughout. They made me feel comfortable, explained each steps and answered all my questions. Thanks to the whole team who helped me today!

Mary starr
