I had an appointment, last Friday at The Oaks in Havant, with Abby. She said she came from the Gosport branch of Scrivens. I wasn't expecting much success as I've had my NHS hearing aids for several years , without much success, and my hearing has deteriorated even more since I had Covid. The aids had never sat right behind my ears and I found them so uncomfortable that I would take them off after about an hour. Abby was so patient and kind. She did the necessary tests and fitted me with new aids and fully explained fitting them properly. The next day I sat in my garden and heard birds singing for the first time in years and I have worn the new aids constantly for nearly a week, discovering new sounds every day. I am so grateful to Abby and hope she knows how good she is at her job.

Transferred to Scrivens from local hospital Audiology department for new hearing aids, old aids had a function for tinnitus sufferers which was very good. Scrivens do not supply hearing aids with a tinnitus function and when I asked to be referred back to hospital audiology department was told I had to deal with them for the next 3 years and couldn’t go anywhere else. Avoid being transferred to them if you can.

Great team and service at the Newark branch, especially Sam the manager. Called in after a fall had damaged my glasses. Sorted there and then without an appointment. They always go the extra mile. Thanks to Amelie for being so helpful on the phone too.

I have been coming to this optician’s for years. The staff are so lovely and helpful. I have picked a lovely pair of glasses thanks to the help of the staff and my mum. Would highly recommend.

I have been a loyal customer for many years. The staff at the local store in Sheffield are lovely. But lately the service from the central labs is very poor indeed. There have been numerous delays in delivery times despite the promise to deliver before we went away in 4weeks. The second pair order has been changed repeatedly with added charges and I am still waiting to receive them. This is despite the store assistant calling the lab directly to confirm in front of us. Their service is not competitive either in comparison to other high street ones. Most disappointed.

From the minute I walked in your receptionist made me feel very welcome. The other two ladies I met were equally as welcoming and explained what would happen and not feeling the best on the day really cheered me up. The young lady who showed me glasses had great sense of humour and overall ladies you did a great job. I will recommend you should the need arise. Thank you

They are very helpful and have always sent out new batteries for my hearing aids before I run out so I'm not left trying to find somewhere to replace them

My eye test was an absolute pleasure The main feature being that I felt totally relaxed in a friendly and professional environment This was totally opposite to my recent experiences when accompanying my wife ( as her carer) at other large opticians in Colchester where it was like being an item on a conveyer belt. Thank you Scrivens

A letter was sent to my 88 year old uncle to complete a questionnaire re his hearing aids he has no computer knowledge and limited use of his mobile) he has tried to phone helpline several times with no success. Should not a letter be the more obvious choice of contacting this gentleman !

My 86 yr old mother in law used the Peterborough branch for a hearing test in April.She was told that on the follow up appointment they would talk her through how to get hearing aids via the NHS, this was not the case!!! Told that the NhHS wait time would be at least 9 months and was promptly sold all singing all dancing hearing aids that connect to Bluetooth etc ( she only ever puts her mobile on to make a phone call). at s cost of £2500. No mention of what would happen if she lost them, ie having to add to home insurance, or follow up after care packages. We cancelled the order but she received a follow up phone call saying that she should have taken someone with her and the audiologist was very upset that she had cancelled the order.!!! We felt that she was taken advantage of and sold hearing aids inappropriate for her needs. She has since got a NHS appointment mid May. 6 weeks NOT the 9 months she was scared into believing.

Hanni Mohamed for Scrivens, at Wickham Surgery did a full hearing test on me, for the NHS. I would like to commend her for her service. She was very clear and patient. She did not rush me and explained everything very well. She answered all my questions thoroughly.
