Gimbel Eye Associates

As always, friendly, helpful and stand behind their products 100%. Too bad there is not one more star to give them!

The most comprehensive eye exam, the best customer service, knowledgeable and very friendly staff.
It was my first eye glasses experience (not the first eye exam though), I didn’t know anything about eyeglasses and lenses, but they were really patient with me answering my questions and explaining everything even after a few weeks I got my eye glasses. (I am a very picky shopper). I absolutely recommend Gimbel eye associates to everyone who needs an eyewear or the best eye exam.

Fantastic experience. This place is heads and shoulders above other retail shops like Vision Works. I received personalized, professional help from the owner Frank. There was absolutely no pressure, and he gave great advice on frames. He even allowed me to take them home to show to my wife on an open-​ended basis. Furthermore, he was able to process my lenses on the same day I chose my frames! Unlike other high-​end optical boutiques, they take insurance as well. Overall I was very impressed, and will be using them next time I need glasses.

I just had an appointment here yesterday and purchased new rX glasses. A lovely, modern eye doctor’s office. I especially loved how I could go pick out glasses right after my eye exam; so convenient. There was a wide selection of designer and non-​designer frames. Dominic (sp?) was especially SUPER nice, fun, friendly and helpful. He recommended glasses for me (I eventually went with Ray Bans, which I’ve been lusting after) and, get ready: he had them ready for me in 45 minutes! Amazing! This is my new place and I’ve already sent two colleagues from work over to them!

The best and only place to but glasses. Dominick treats every client like his only client and has delivered over and over to me with my glasses. He is amazing at looking at your face and knowing the exact glass to give you. It’s a must visit place if you need eye glasses or eye exams!

Gimbel Eye Associates is the best place to go for eye exams and eyeglass selection. Domenick is a master at picking the right frames for your face and personality. The customer service is outstanding! The eye exam itself was one of the most intensive and detailed ones I’ve had which made me feel even better knowing the Doctor was covering all bases. Go to them. You won’t be disappointed and you’ll leave feeling great!

Wow, I cannot speak highly enough of my recent experience at Gimbel Eye Associates! I knew nothing about them but they were in-​network with my insurance and I really feel like I lucked out!
Dr. K was professional yet very approachable and good-​natured. Every other staff person was extremely friendly, easy-​going and accommodating. My experience with Domenick — aka «The Master Glasses Picker» was phenomenal. He helped me find the perfect pair of new new glasses. I felt he was honest, not pushy and gave me the type of information I needed to make an informed decision as a customer.
They offered a wide variety of glasses selection at varying prices points. They match contact prices with 1−800-CONTACTS. It is clear this local business has been around for years and knows how to operate at it’s best. I was beyond impressed with the entirety of my experience at Gimbel Eye and will remain a loyal customer/​patient for years to come!

Improving my vision and buying glasses is a medical necessity. Gimbel Eye Assoc. made it a comfortable and pleasant experience. The selection of frames is excellent, but, most of all, the optician Domenick’s assistance was priceless. He not only exhibited great expertise in technical knowledge regarding my eyesight but worked with me in the most effective way to select the most flattering look while outlining various recommendations for features and taking price points into consideration — all with an extremely friendly and kind attitude. I would highly recommend this excellent shop.

We were referred to Gimbel Eye Care by a family member .We have been buying eye glasses for our daughter for 24 years. Domenick is in a word FANTASTIC !!! he could not be more customer focused. As a matter of fact the entire team is right on point in customer service. I would give this place 6 stars if it would allow me to .

The people here are ridiculously nice. Always willing to offer a complimentary drink or good for a tv change while you wait. However, you will wait. Both times I’ve been there I’ve waited over 30 minutes and both times I had an appointment. Besides the wait, the doctor is great and everyone is extremely friendly.

I can say without exception I have never experienced such incredible customer service from an entire team of professionals as I did with Gimbel Eye Associates. They were listed as a provider who accepted my vision insurance & by sheer luck I called their practice to schedule an appt for my 2 children who had each broken their frames/​glasses, and getting them replaced by our previous optometrist’s office was going to take longer than we could wait. Domenick was phenomenal – he took it upon himself to call my previous optometrist, validate my son’s current prescription, confirm his inventory, and educated me on every possible option to get my children into a new pair of glasses ASAP and as economically as possible. We found beautiful glasses for both my son and daughter, expertly fitted and crafted by Frank, and a very thorough eye exam for my daughter by Dr. Karagiannopoulos who is absolutely wonderful and compassionate as a doctor and a person! Everyone went completely and unnecessarily out of their way to help me and my family with our situation, all the while with smiles and great personality. Every customer walking in and out that day was clearly more than a number. You can see how passionate this team is about providing exceptional products with exceptional service. Truly an amazing group of people – I can’t thank each and every one of them enough. We’ve definitely found our new practice!

I hurt my eye at work and made a call to their office in Glenolden, They informed me that the Dr. was in at the Wayne office and took me in right away. Dr Karagiannopoulos was in the office at the time and took care of me… she was GREAT!!! The Dr. gave me a call the next day on her day off to make sure I was doing well, really feels good to know people take your health serious and your not just another job!!! Keep up the great work, you will be my Eye care as long as your in business! Thanks again, and keep doing what your doing!

Gimbel Eye Associates is the best eye-​related business I have ever experienced. The storefront is beautiful and they have a large selection of frames. More importantly, the service really sets them apart — whether over the phone or in person.
I worked with Domenick and he was fantastic. He helped with insurance, was very transparent, and offered great prices. He picked out about 20 different frames and gave me his opinion for each one as I tried them on. He really has an incredible ability; I ended up purchasing the first frames he suggested. This was a personal level of service I have not come across at other stores. And, I only had to wait one day for my new glasses to be ready for pickup.
This is the place to go on the Main Line, no doubt about it.

I agree with the former reviewer. Domenick is THE MAN when it comes to selling eye wear. He over-​came my initial objections, which were plentiful and sold me a new set of lenses. Best of all, he found a way to get it all covered by my insurance company.

Our experience with Gimble eye on two difference buying occasions has been great.
Frank & Dominic really listen & evaluate the customers needs and provide a high quality product and personal service and very competitive pricing. Look no further.

If you are looking for a great place to find a pair of glasses with the best service, Gimbel’s eye associates is the place! First of all, they have a huge selection of glasses. What is even more impressive is the professional guidance in finding the right pair of glasses for the right person. Domenick was engaging, professional and informative. Shopping with my sisters is always a treat, picking out many different types of glasses, but Domenick picked up one pair and said «these are your glasses». I would never have tried them… and let me tell you, he was right. I have a new look and a new way of looking at myself, thanks Domenick.
unfortunately, my new corrections needed some tweaking and Frank, the owner, did an outstanding job in figuring out exactly what the problem was. It took 2 visits and now I must say, everything is perfect! thanks Frank.
I have been so satisfied with my experience! Well done!!!

I’ve had nothing but positive experiences at Gimbel thus far. They gave me a great deal on a new exam and replacement lenses. Haven’t bought frames there yet… unfortunately they carry a lot of brands that I’m not really into (otherwise I’d give them 5 stars). But Frank and the rest of the staff are great; super nice and helpful. Gimbel was recommended to me and I would recommend them to anyone else!

Frank is awesome! So was the doctor, Barbara. Very detailed oriented! No bs-​most friendly and honest eye opticians I’ve ever dealt with! Very comfortable store and a great selection. I never write reviews but they deserve the business for being so wonderful!!!

I had the greatest experience at Gimbel Eye Associates! I showed up for an appointment over half an hour early and they were still able to take me immediately. The exam itself was thorough and it was obvious Dr. Karagiannopoulos knew what she was doing and was passionate about her job. I have two insurance plans (my regular medical insurance covers some eye care and I have a separate vision insurance) and Frank sat down with me and made sure to take full advantage of both. I was originally just going to get 6 months of contacts as I plan to get Lasik early next year, however with my two plans (and some finagling) Frank was able to get a full years worth of contacts AND replace the lenses in the frames I had that I loved while only paying $ 5 out of pocket! The last place I went I ended up shelling out $ 60 for a «contact fitting» and then $ 120 for contacts because they didn’t look at my insurance ahead of time.
After 15 years of wearing contacts and glasses, this was by far the best experience I’ve had with any eye doctor. Kudos!
