Andrew Waters

The best optometrist I have ever experienced in my 35 years of wearing eyeglasses. Herb was very thorough and highly knowledgeable of the effect my medical condition has on my vision - the first optometrist I have experienced to recognise this factor. He explained everything so clearly and is an exceedingly pleasant person to deal with. The same can be said for the friendly and professional treatment one gets from Optician Sharon who went the extra mile to get the exact type of frame I required. I can sincerely recommend the services of Herb Maynard Optometrist. You will not be disappointed.

Dave Pink

Herb is the best . He is extremely professional, very relatable and friendly. Vigilant with background information and tells it like it is without up selling into glasses until you need them . Thanks for taking the time with my Daughter today . We won't go anywhere else.

Claire

Fantastic service as always! Sharon is amazing with helping you choose frames which can make a difficult decision such a breeze! Thanks guys!!

Carolyn Stirling

Sharon the receptionist is just soo lovely. Straight up happy bubbly person everytime I've been there. Shows no class distinction.. but she's all class. Herb Marnard has a "let's get to it" manner. Which I prefer and yet he's still very pleasant and thorough. I asked questions and he answers them simply with no fuss. They make a very intertwined balanced team.

Darryl Ginns

Very happy with service here. Herb is extremely thorough and professional. Sharon is so helpful when trying to select frames! Often stepped me out of my comfort zone. Their knowledge in this industry is second to none! Thank you.
