Our Customers Testimonials

J and D Smetham, Wallsend

"I am writing to congratulate Keith on winning the prestigious award 'The Most Inspirational Eyecare Professional'. The competition included Optometrists, Ophthalmologists and Dispensing Opticians drawn from Russia, France, Korea, Hungary, Canada and The Netherlands.

I have been a patient of Keith's from when he was director at The Eye Clinic, through his six years at The Big Optician. He shows an obvious passion for his work with great emphasis on patient care.

I particularly appreciate the fact that I receive digital retinal photography at no extra charge. We must also give mention to Karen, George and all your technicians.

The prices are keen - the service is first class - all with a welcoming smile and a cup of tea.

Best wishes to you all - see you next year"

M and D Young, Houghton-le-Spring

"We thought we would send you a thank you as you provided Martyn and myself with such a high level of service at The Big Optician. It was our first time at The Big Optician and the service you provided was excellent. Debbie, you are an asset to the company"

Mr. S.J. Bulmer, Leeds

"I recently brought my 84 Year old mother to The Big Optician to have her eyes tested and for new spectacles. As she is infirm and not very mobile, I was looking for a venue that had primarily the following: ease of access and range of spectacles (from the point of view of price and choice). I made my decision to use The Big Optician via the web and then made the appointment.

I am not normally given to write testimonials but was so impressed I felt I had to share my experience.

Location is excellent, easy to find with great access. Just as I needed, parking was brilliant with only a few short steps into the store.

My mother was really well cared for by The Big Optician team, having the whole process of testing her eyes to choosing her spectacles clearly explained.

We particularly liked the clear pricing and the depth of range available. Whilst we were mainly looking for range and access, we were delighted to have the further benefits of care and value to add to the whole mix which made, what might have been a trying ordeal for an elderly woman, into a very pleasant experience indeed."

Ben Hope, The Coast

"I recently visited The BIG Optician in Newcastle. I chose to visit them above other opticians in the area for several reasons :

1. Their website grabbed my attention. More professional than any other in the area, and one that I really felt they had put the time and effort into to portray the level of dedication to their field.

2. They open when I need them to be, after the working hours and on weekends.

3. The friendly but professional approach that they say they provide, as well as my favourite brand, Tom Ford.

So after my first visit was I as impressed as I hoped? More so... The optician found out about my vision, what I did, how I could improve what I do in regards to my vision, and I got excellent feedback in terms of style and what was best for me, and thankfully... they helped me choose the Tom Fords!"

Ms. K.Orr, Newcastle

"I recently visited your Out of Town Superstore as a new customer. I felt it was important to give you my impressions and Customer Service Feedback.

The store was bright and airy and clean and tidy.

I was greeted and made welcome. My eye test was carried out with great care and professionalism. I have ordered my spectacles. There was a good choice of spectacles and also varied price tags.

I would like to give the following staff a special thank you: Joanne, Eddie and Matthew who made my visit to the store a great experience. I look forward to picking up my spectacles.

I definitely will be recommending my family and friends to the BIG optician experience."

Monica, NORWAY 2010

"I have a big thank you for The Big Optician team. Unfortunately I live far away from the UK in Norway, and I don't have the possibility to visit Newcastle or The Big Optician, but I found them on the net and I'm happy I did!! I'm so glad I decided to order my glasses from your company, I got all the help and support I needed on the phone and by email. I want to thank you all, especially Karen, who helped me find and order the frame I wanted, even though it wasn't in stock anywhere.

Keep it like that, keep being nice, kind, patient and helpful with your clients, all of you from The Big Optician are doing a great job with our eyes!

Thank you again, best regards"
