MIAMI GARDENS EYE CARE, 4815 NW 183RD STREET, MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA. THEY called me and gave me an appointment, for 12:30 p.m. Transportation was provided. When I get there, I was told they were closed for Lunch. So I sat on the floor outside until someone intelligent asked me to come inside and sit in the reception area. Doctor told me my Right eye was 20/20 with the glasses I had; wanted to "tweak" the Left eye's prescription. Dr. Gary Berman is a sweetie! After the exam, a clerk came out with 4 trays of plastic glasses like the Sophia character wore in The Golden Girls...had the nerve to tell me my space age polymer RALPH LAUREN "cat eye" frames were out of style AND she could not guarantee they would not break when the ONE lens was inserted. I dated an Optician for years, and he taught me how you take a mold and a machine cuts it to the shape of the frame. I learned a lot. That girl should be working at Burger King and not trying to scam the elderly! She was trying to charge me what my insurance pays annually for a pair of glasses. Went on to say, "We have a payment plan!" I answered, "I'm sure you do!" I asked for my written prescription and said "Have a nice day." No answer. Gurl, go easy on the cafecito. Better still, quit...

Dollar General great place to shop...Night time staff friendly and very helpful. Thankful for security at night . Subway also a nice place to get a good sub. They are not skimpy with the food. Nice girls working there also. Basically only two stores I go to...

I work in this plaza and, let's be honest, its not that bad but there are a few deserted shops here. In addition, it could use some work appearance-wise. But they do have 24 hour security...
