Artisan Optical

Five stars all around for Artisan Optical! From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely welcomed. The shop itself is charming, and the adorable shop dog was such a sweet and unexpected bonus that instantly made the experience even better. The eye doctor was incredibly thorough and patient, making sure to answer every single one of my questions. He took the time to explain each step of the process and clearly walked me through everything he was seeing, which made me feel informed and completely at ease. I've been to many eye doctors over the years, but he has quickly become a personal favorite. I truly cannot recommend him or Artisan Optical enough an outstanding experience from start to finish.

Chose Artisan Optical on a whim, my previous optician stopped doing eye exams since i went to them last. Artisan Optical is a wonderful duo I was seen by Dr. Jensen and he took great care of me. I'm a curious person, and asked a bunch of questions regarding my optical health which he answered with care and depth. Alicia was a wonderful person to chat with, and she handled helping choose a pair of frames, I'm recently out as trans-femm and wanted help deciding frames to help me feel more correct in myself. She did a wonderful job helping me choose beautiful frames that fit my price range. They're both wonderful people and I will be going back each time I need to re-up on contacts or for my yearly.

Artisan Optical is amazing! I'm so happy that I discovered this gem a few years ago, and highly recommend it to people all the time! Alicia and Dr. Jensen are always warm, welcoming and have helped me find some of my favorite frames. Go visit them for all of your eye care needs--you'll be so glad you did.

Dr. Jensen and Alicia are an amazing team! I've had glasses or contacts for 20+ yrs and this has been my favorite office by far! Their office has modern technology and gorgeous frames to choose from too. Dr. Jensen is extremely knowledgeable and I feel like I learn something new about my eye health each visit.

Wow, the best eyecare ever! My wife has been here several times, and I wish all doctors were as thorough, thoughtful, and up-to-date in their practice as Dr. Jensen. He does a great job listening and takes the patient seriously, not to mention being full of helpful insights and practical industry-specific knowledge. I will definitely be switching to Artisan Optical for my eyecare needs from now on, even in spite of having to drive quite a bit more compared to my current optometrist. I should also give a shout-out to Alicia, who is a pleasure to work with, both over the phone and in person.

Dr Jensen is the first optometrist I have seen in several years who was able to provide me with glasses that give me clear vision. I have difficult eyes to refract, so I especially appreciated his patience and persistence in getting it right. In my case, it required some "out of the box" adjustments, which he was willing to try at no additional cost to me if they didn't work. Alicia, the office optician, helped with expertly fitting the glasses and with effective communication between Dr. Jensen and me. The office also has some of the most stylish frames anywhere in Denver. I cannot recommend Artisan Optical more highly.

LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE! For the first time in 6.5 years, I can see properly again! Background: My vision has never been right following a traumatic brain injury several years ago. Ever since then, and through more than my share of glasses, and every new set caused the same frustrations. Despite my pleas otherwise, eye doctors consistently ignored my concerns and gaslit me that my prescriptions were right, despite my telling them so frequently that I still couldn't see correctly. The gaslighting, and the cost to keep up my frustration, was beyond measure. Besides that, I have a pinhead, somewhere between kids and adult size, and it's extremely difficult to find frames that both fit my facial structure and my bridge, and that come in colors that look good on me. This time, I decided that if I still had to deal with less than ideal vision, at least I was going to find frames that would look good in me. Enter Artisan Optical. As I was looking for custom frames online, I discovered Artisan Optical through wholesale custom frame vendor. As I described my previous frustrations and pointed to some customs frames I was asking them to order, Alicia made other recommendations over the phone. Although I didn't particularly care for what she listed, when I went into the store for further consultation it turned out she was spot on! I ended up with amazing frames that I'd never have seen otherwise. Additionally, a custom bridge was all part of the price! I never even knew that was an option!!! Equally valuable was Dr. Jensen giving me an all-new exam--and new it was!!! For the first time in 6.5 years I can see again!!!! Now I'm typing with my glasses firmly and comfortably fitting in my face, no longer having to remove them to be able to read or type (previously everything had to be mere inches from my face!). I don't feel so frustrated when I can't see things, because i can finally focus my eyes again!!! And all of this came at lesser cost than any standard retail eye exam with glasses!!! There were a lot of happy tears in this process, and I will definitely return! TLDR; Fabulous new glasses, super-comfortable contacts, and a literal whole new outlook on life! Costumer for life!!!

This was my first visit to Artisan Optical, and I had a great experience. The staff very friendly and knowledgeable and the place itself was very nice, clean, modern, etc. I could tell they had my best interests in mind, not necessarily just what would make them the most money. And as a plus the location on south Broadway is really convenient. I would highly recommend Artisan Optical to everybody!
