This company are by far the best opticians in Newcastle. My daughter required glades and after doing the normal rounds at the high street opticians and getting the same poor service we got recommended Querido & Davidson. Just outstanding service by top staff. Both myself and my wife have also needed glasses for reading and we go here. Just a top company with top employees.

I have been going to Querido and Davidson for well over 10 years. All the staff there are fabulous, giving excellent service at all times. They are always helpful with both contact lenses and glasses, they keep you updated with products and reminders. I have had several issues with my eyes, specifically dry eyes and John and the staff have provided answers and solutions to manage the condition very well. The service and commitment to their clients cannot be faulted.

I've used these guys since 2013! Nice and cool service. No hassle just easy. Some eye scoping equipment had been upgraded to the max which appeared to my punter eyes as pretty immense kit. Yes, I have had respectable cheaper tests at several different places but this is still the most thorough eye care that I have experienced. Thankfully my forty-something year old eyes are far from shot to pieces, so my prescription is straight forward. You'll leave with hopefully a clean bill of optical health, or at least the wheels will be fully in motion to address any needs you might have on that front.

I can highly recommend Q&D as we have been regulars here for many years. We are treated more like family than customers, and the service has always been first class. Thanks to John, my teenage son and I both use 'nighttime' lenses that give us such freedom from glasses. If the best eye care in the north east is what you want, look no more.

My family has used this practise since from the 40s so I hane seen many changes. This partnership has given excellent treament and kept upgrading and knowlegde and equipment. Having manages to put essential oil in one eye at 5am instead of Hypromellise I d4cided mr Davison was bettere euipped than thecRVI emergency dept. Eye vastly improved. Will be making a appt soon I hope. The consultant is going to do a phone call asap!

Very pleased to have Querido & Davidson as my new opticians and even more pleased with my new glasses. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of eye-health care here after sad years being stuck with one of the high street opticians. Also, the professional help and advice in choosing the frames from their wide range was unexpectedly helpful too! Highly recommended place!

Have been going to Querido & Davidson for more years than I care to count. I can remember when John first became a member of the team! I have always had superb service. I used to wear contact lenses and now spectacles and the care taken with both has been excellent. The whole staff take an interest in the care of the client. They are welcoming efficient and professional. I thoroughly recommend Querido & Davidson.

I have been with the practice since the days of Victor Graham and would never dream of going anywhere else. The care and treatment I have received has always been first class and in a modern and well equipped environment. The staff are friendly and always make you feel welcome and at ease. I would have no hesitation in recommending Q&D to everyone.

Brilliant professional service from Q+D every time. Use with complete confidence- you're always made to feel more than just a customer by their friendly staff through their hugely considerate, caring approach to your eye- care. Can't recommend strongly enough. If it's first rate service you're after, look no further (if you'll pardon the pun).

I have been using Q&D for my son for many years now for his glasses and would highly recommend. Staff are always very professional and friendly and go out of their way to help. My son has just recently started wearing contact lenses and we have found the whole experience outstanding from the fitting to the follow ups. Thank you to John and the team.

You always get a warm welcome and professional service from staff at Q&D, with a good range of spec's to choose from for us and our teenage children. I found that the staff were exceptional with regards to hygiene and implementing strict social distancing within their practice. I felt very safe, as their standards are are so high. Lovely staff and would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a good optician!

John and his team are fabulous. I have been a customer for many years and am always struck by how friendly, helpful and professional all the staff are. I would not hesitate to recommend Q&D to anyone wanting quality eye care. The OrthoK lenses that I use from them are not widely available and have transformed my life - 20/20 vision without the need to wear anything during the day - who knew this was possible?!

What a difference a local opticians makes, unlike the big impersonal corporate places the experience here is friendly, welcoming and personalised. Great advice and a really great choice of frames, I paid a little more than I had planned but got the perfect glasses and am very happy! After care is great too. More than happy to support this local business

I have been attending Querido & Davison for some years and would not look to go elsewhere. The practice is furnished with up to date equipment which saves me trips to hospital for scans. The range of eyewear available is fantastic and appears to suit all budgets. I personally have an eye care plan which is an affordable way of spreading payments for routine appointments over the course of a year.
John and Angela are professional in their approach; they listen and alleviate concerns and are always proactive if a second opinion is required, ie a hospital referral.
The team as a whole reflects a family feel in the practice. I always think it’s a good sign when you can retain staff over many years and this is certainly a plus for this practice. I would highly recommend this practice to people of all ages...my children love going!

John and his great team of professionals have looked after me and my family’s eyecare for many years now. They are the only guys I would trust with something so important. With Q&D you are getting state-of-the-art care and prescriptions that are right for you. From prescription swimming goggles for my daughter, that have enabled her to swim at the next level, to sensitive care and prescribing for my mum post-stroke, they are superb
