James R Hall

I have had a n excellent experience with Dr. Hall that spans over 30 years. He has helped me with successfully fitting gas permeable contact lenses that are comfortable long lasting and have excellent acuity for precision sight needs (such as trap shooting). He and his staff are pleasant and responsive. He is technically adept, invests in high tech modern exam equipment, he is thorough and understanding. I highly recommend Dr. Hall's expertise and trying his staff for any eye glass, exam or contact needs. Jack Smith Villanova PA.

My experience with Dr Hall was the worst I have had with any optometrist in the last 40 years. He showed little interest in my vision. He spent most of the time bragging about how much his practice is worth and how he plans to retire early. I don’t think he takes pride in his actual job. He charged me extra for Optos retinal imaging, but when the photos were not very clear because my eyelid blocked part of the field, he did not bother to take another image, telling me that it was “enough.” He talked me into daily wear disposable contacts, which I do not regret. But he sold me a brand that is only available wholesale to optometrists, hoping that I would always have to order through his office. He had them in stock, but he charged me the $15 shipping charge. He said, “I’ll have to pay that to restock them,” as if he had to order all his boxes individually. I assume he charges everyone and then places a bulk order. (If you want a nearly identical brand, get Clariti from any online retailer.) Worst of all was the eye infection I got after my appointment. I went back two days later and Hall said that I couldn’t have gotten it from his office. Illogically, he cited another patient who had been in two days earlier with an eye infection. He took my insurance information so that he could tell me that it was pollen or allergies making my eyelid swell (I have never been affected by allergies). My eyelid was swollen and red for two months, and then I went to a better doctor and got medication to clear up the infection. I know that this is an eyewear shop on the Main Line, but I was still stunned by the prices of frames—starting at $500 before adding lenses. I guess Hall has a target demographic, and it was not me.

Dr Hall was very patient with my 90 year old father and answered all of our questions thoroughly.. He is very respectful and kind!! We wouldn’t go anywhere else! His staff is also A++??!

My experience with dr. Hall was great. He doesn't rush through your exam and I feel does a thorough exam.

Amazing! Kind , courteous and very knowledgeable . Would definitely recommend to a friend

While Dr. Hall's office does have a variety of eyeglass frames to offer, his emphasis is on eye care. I feel my eyes are being examined by an expert and one that really cares. I will continue to trust Dr. Hall as I, and my eyes, proceed through the future stages of my life.

Extremely competent. .professionally courteous...friendly office..certainly a cut above. There isn't anything that Dr.Hall will not do for a patient. Would highly recommend this practice. Dr. Hall has corrected my issues in a timely fashion. I couldn't be more pleased.
