Welcome to the Tallahassee Eye Center

We at the Tallahassee Eye Center are committed to providing the highest level of professional, technologically-advanced eye health care possible through the ongoing education of our patients, our staff and our doctors, while maintaining our personal, "family practice" attention to each patient. We take the time to get to know our patients and feel strongly that a good doctor-patient relationship improves the overall quality of health care. When you feel at ease in our office, you will be more comfortable asking questions or offering suggestions. You can relax knowing that you've chosen eye care professionals with a sincere interest in your eye health.

Our optometrists, Dr. Susan Whaley and Dr. Suzane Mechler specialize in all aspects of primary eye care including eye examinations for adults and children, contact lens fittings (including those patients who have been told by other doctors that they are “difficult” to fit), and treatment and management of ocular disease. We also have a full-service optical department to meet all of your eyewear needs.

Our simple goal is to provide modern, professional eye health care, fashionable, well fitting eye wear, and safe contact lens wear. We want to help you and your family enjoy a lifetime of good vision.



 


Read what our patients say about us...

I looked at these reviews prior to making an appointment and they are spot-on! Everyone was so friendly and made me feel very welcomed. The exam was comprehensive and Dr. Mechler was great and very informative. I never felt rushed and didn't have to wait too long once I got there. GREAT experience!!

My husband and I just moved to the area and I started to experience flashers and floaters. Scared and with no established eye doctor to see in Tallahassee I am so thankful that I chose Tallahassee Eye Center!!!! As soon as I made the appointment I was made to feel at ease to the minute I walked through the door and seen Dr. Whaley. I cannot tell you how petrified I was. Dr. Whaley eased my fears, treated me kindly and I couldn't of asked for a more thorough examination. She explained everything to me. I recommend TEC extremely highly!!!!!

Dr. Whaley was able to handle my questions about eye care and tests clearly and concisely with ease and grace. She has carefully selected incredible people to work with her who demonstrate the kind, consistent, personable services that she models.

My husband & I have been seeing Dr. Mechler for several years and have started bringing our daughter for annual check-ups last year. The whole staff is incredibly cheerful and helpful. They were very kind and patient towards my 4 year old daughter, even when she was less than cooperative. It was a such a great experience that my daughter has been pretending to be an eye doctor since the visit. This is a very family friendly doctor's office.

Thanks for the work and results for my son's eyeglasses. He was very unsure about what would happen and you and your staff gave him confidence that he could be "cool" and wear glasses at the same time. He loves them...and not just because he can now see better, but that he really does think he is "cooler" with them.

I have been so happy with my glasses. When I moved to Tallahassee 5 years ago from West Palm Beach, the very thought of finding a new eye specialist was a dawnting thought. I have been wearing glasses since I was 2 years old, so it means a lot to me to find a doctor who fits my needs. Dr. Whaley is so interested and knowledgeable in her profession. My new pair of glasses were the best since I moved to Florida 23 years ago. I have been so happy to see so much so well again. Thank You Dr. Whaley.

Dr. Susan Whaley is my optometrist and she and her staff have always given me the very best of eye care while making me feel relaxed and comfortable. I trust her with my eyes, which is the highest compliment I can give someone in her profession!

I didn't know of any optometrists in town and had to search for one myself. After hearing many great reviews from the locals I came to the Tallahassee Eye Center. What a fantastic experience! Everyone was so helpful and really listened to me. I absolutely love my new glasses and will definitely come back next year!
