What Our Hove Clients Have To Say

Hear from our Hove patients and discover the personalised care and stylish results that make Taylor-West & Co Optometrists a standout choice.

All the family have annual eye tests here and we have consistently found the team to be very welcoming and highly professional. Eye health is so important and it is great to get a really thorough and regular check. It is a well resourced optometrist and it is very helpful to get straight forward explanations of why particular tests are being carried out and then seeing the results year on year.

James

A 5 star service as always! I needed some specs before I left to do some travelling and they expedited my order and I was able to travel with my new glasses! Great service from both my ophthalmologist Kyrstie and her support team! Many thanks again!

Jeremey

The Optometrist, Kyrstie, is really excellent. She puts you at your ease, explains everything she is doing, answers any questions and generally turns the whole examination into an enjoyable hour. She is a great credit to Taylor-West.

Richard

All the staff are wonderful, very thorough eye exam and freaking awesome glasses – what is not to love?

Louise

Sophie is always very thorough and explains things extremely well – in layman’s terms so I fully understand. Also never tries to sell me things I do not need!

Joanna Kulik FBDO

Branch Manager / Dispensing Optician

I believe that being in optics was destined to me, but it wasn’t a straightforward journey. One of my first memories is when I underwent an operation on my eyes as a child and even now I can remember the outstanding people who looked after me.

Hove

Kyrstie Rankine BSc(Hons) MCOptom

Optometrist

When I was younger I always knew I wanted to have a role in healthcare and to work with people, and after displaying an interest in and an affinity for maths and sciences in school it was actually my physics teacher who introduced me to the world of optics and curated my interest in optometry.

Laura Vermey

Optical Dispenser

My passion for travel has brought me all the way from Australia to the UK. To experience optics from the other side of the world and still find it the same is such a comfort – I stumbled past Taylor West one windy day in Hove and was captured by the awe of the stores appearance & one thing led to another.

Parys Browne

When the opportunity to join the Taylor-West and Co family arose, I knew it was a great space for me to dive deeper into the world of optics. Having experience in professional styling gives me a chance to incorporate my love for styling with something brand new!
