Patient Reviews!

Top rate in my book. Amanda helped me select some sunglasses today and I was astounded at her knowledge of not only their own inventory but what else is available. She was able to easily answer all of my questions as well as make recommendations, yet I never felt pressured. I have been out of the office not ten minutes and already recommended them to someone else. They have a very nice selection in stock comparable to the size of the office, and carry Kate Spade, Vera Bradley, etc. frames. I also got contacts and they had them in stock which was very convenient.

My eyes have been a challenge since diagnosed with karatoconus at 16 yo. Various surgeries with temporary relief. 20-200 most recently with correction had me giving up hope. Dr. Whaley fit me with a sclera lens (about nickel sized for graft patients) that changed my life - I can see again! Safe to drive and no more blurry faces. I can't praise her expertise enough. Thank you Dr. Whaley!!! I owe you a very big one.

OMG!!!!! I loooooove this place! Dr. Strickland is Awesome!!!! These opticians are very personable and they truly care about their patients. I wish that I could find a family doctor as caring as them. I will never visit another optician again. I recommend this place to anyone.

- Shatia M.

- Kathleen C.

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.

- Bense F.

I'm very pleased with the service I received very pleasant people here. M so happy about my glasses!

- Charlott P.
