I’ve been to my fair share of optometrists in my 20 years of wearing glasses and Dr. Stupiansky is f... antastic. Incredibly nice, and explains everything clearly. Couldn’t ask for more.

Dr. Stupiansky is amazing. She is very thorough, knowledgeable, and caring. The staff is also profes... sional and friendly, and nobody tried to upsell anything on our first visit recently. My daughter and I felt very comfortable.
