Patient Reviews!

My entire family goes to Tallahassee Eye Center, and the staff is ALWAYS amazing. They are courteous and respectful. When looking at glasses, they help you work within your insurance/budget. Dr. Strickland and Gail both make the process fun, with explanations of what they are seeing/doing - as well as entertaining commentary and stories!

Everyone at the office is always so helpful and friendly. Dr. Vanderpool Strickland and the technician I saw answered all of my questions and took the time to explain the test results in depth. I have consistently had excellent service here and am made to feel comfortable throughout the visit. I can't recommend them enough!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Strickland for about 3 years now and I must say she is hands down the best. She and her staff are very patient and do a good job of explaining everything. They have affordable glasses as well which is a plus for us students. I’m so sad I’m moving away and won’t get to have her as my eye doctor any more. Thanks for ensuring I could see Dr. Strickland and your commitment to ensuring my vision was as good as it could be.
