Report
Excellent: I have been a customer of Baverstock Opticians for several years and they have always provided an excellent service, both friendly and professional. Recently, both my mother and myself have needed more support regarding access and Covid and the staff ( particularly Becky ) have gone well above and beyond with their kindness, efficiency and professionalism. I really couldn't recommend them more highly. Nothing is too much trouble and it's greatly appreciated. Many, many thanks

Report
Visited this optician for a checkup recently. The staff were very professional and friendly. My appointment was on time and they didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need, which has been my experience with a few other opticians in the past. They also came up with a solution to allow me to read things that are close up as well as at arms length away. A real bonus for my work as a photographer. I am happy to recommend them.
