“Scrivens rent a room at my local doctors surgery. On the face of it I thought it was an NHS hearing test centre but found out this wasn’t the case when I went several weeks ago for a hearing test. I was provided with a pair of hearing aids matched to my hearing requirements for just under £4,000. Unfortunately, the hearing aids didn’t perform very well with me constantly taking them out to hear conversations (and yes, they were switched on). I had to wait 2 weeks for my next appointment and decided enough was enough and handed them back for a full refund provided under the 30 day trial. I was reliably advised that I would get the full refund of my money in 10 working days. Unfortunately, Scrivens appear to not honour the return of your money and when you phone they tell you someone will phone you later the same day to credit your credit card. As you might guess, they don’t phone you back. You try again the next day and once again Scrivens promise to phone you back with a refund and the phone never rings. To date the refund or return call has not happened despite waiting for up to 30 minutes on the phone while they say they’re ‘sorting it out with another department’. I can draw no other conclusion other than that they provide a very substandard service and don’t honour (to date) any refunds. I’m currently taking the matter up with my credit card provider and my doctors surgery as Scrivens have not lived up the the professional standards I would have expected.”

“An overall good experience , very friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. Would just like 1 thing to improve, I'm a very nervous person and suffer from anxiety so telling someone i couldn't afford the glasses i wanted and having to choose a free per in front of other customers was a very awkward situation i wished i wouldn't have had to be in. Other than that one thing i would definitely use Scrivens again. Thank you”

“This concerns your Lymington branch: having been prescribed and supplied with EAR AIDS (as my little grandson calls them!), I was delighted. Then I had a problem with one. Into the branch, two busy ladies sprang into action and my aids were given an M.O.T., I know what to do another time, and I am a happy bunny. Thank you for such brilliant, cheerful service”

“Optician insisted that I came back that morning for eye pressure and retina checks. He caught a serious pressure change and got me an urgent hospital referral for glaucoma. This may have saved my eyes from serious damage. I can only give top marks for his thoroughness.”

“I have been going to Scrivens Opticians for many years. About 10 years ago the optician found I had cataracts and arranged for me to have them removed in hospital. I have recommended Scrivens to other people in the past. The service continues to be excellent, as I found in my most recent visit there.”
