Мой правый глаз получил серьёзную травму когда мне было 12 лет. Делали несколько операций. Всё безуспешно. Сейчас мне 34 года. По специальности учитель. Вот уже 3 год не выхожу из дома из-за глаза. В школе ученики издевались над глазом. Это сильно повлияло на психику. Муж бросил из-за глаза. У меня двое детей. Некому обратиться за помощью. Помогите прооперировать глаз. Помогите мне вернуться в жизнь! yupitershastlif@gmail.com

I had a good experience with one exception. I have always gone to Dr. Tharpe. I accepted an appointment with Dr. Betz because I could get in much sooner. She was professional in all ways and I will go back to her. My concern is I wish I had been told that she was an optomotrist and not an opthamologist. The lady at the desk explained the difference to me and I realize I should not be taking up an opthamologists time as I have no problems at the time. I have gone to an opthamologist since I was a young girl and that is many, many years ago. Thank you.

Today is eight months from my last review, and I continue to post FIVE STARS! I had a small hair coming out of the liner of my upper left lid, which I've since learned is very common! It was quite irritating. THE VISION CARE CENTER worked me in TODAY, and I met DR. MORGAN BETZ for the first time! She was EXTREMELY THOROUGH, KNOWLEDGEABLE, PROFESSIONAL, PERSONABLE, and QUICK! She is my new eye doctor as my former one is retiring! THANK YOU, DR. BETZ and VISION CARE CENTER for helping the rest of us as if we were family! (PS - I was helped by RENEE, again, who continues do be thorough and comforting, too!)From the check-in desk to checking out, KUDOS to The Vision Care Center! I arrived a little early, got in quickly, and had a very thorough annual eye exam! I really appreciated the thoroughness of the lady who did my initial screening in the exam room, RENEE! RENEE was POLITE, PERSONABLE, and VERY PROFESSIONAL! She updated my medical history and made sure all my information was accurate! THANK YOU, RENEE, for not just doing your job but for doing is so very well! RENEE is a KEEPER! =)

Dr Green was very thorough and informative. Very laid back experience. Kim was great at making the new experience comfortable. She was funny and very inciteful. Asked all the right questions. Most fun I have ever had at an eye exam!

I went to the optical shop to purchases new glasses yesterday. Tamara is who took care of me. Back in my working days (I’m a retired operations manger) I would have bragged about hiring an employee as professional, helpful and confident in their skills as Tamara was. I don’t have to go to this shop but I will continue to do so based on my experience there yesterday. Tamara is a first rate employee and this company is lucky to have her as an employee.

What a great visit! Staff and doctors always provide the best options for ideal results. The receptionist are always up to date on insurance coverage or will find out. The nurse is thorough and provides great detail of presenting concerns to doctor. Dr. Eric provided a very thorough eye exam, education regarding my eyes, and options for optimal results. Needless to say, I am pleased with the options chosen. During the visit, I didn't feel rushed and the staff is alway respectful and kind. This office is a great example of Compassion in Action! Great Job and thank you for such a wonderful experience!

I have had nothing but superb service from Dr. Eric Weyer, nurses, and all the staff here. It doesn't matter if I am getting a check up or buying glasses or contacts, they always take great care to be sure I am taken care of with great service. I had to get an RX recently for an eye allergy and they put me on to a discount card that save me BIG $. I wish all providers were as good as they are!

Broke my glasses - went in for eye exam and new prescription. The eye exam was extremely thorough. Dr. Woods and his staff are incredible. They spent time with me and never rushed - and my appointment began almost exactly on time. The Vision Center Eyeglass purchase went equally as well. The staff in that area are helpful, thoughtful, and wonderful to work with.. A high class establishment that I would recommend to anyone.

Our whole family's eye care is looked after by Dr Jon Weyer MD and his practice. As a young promising doctor he's very attentive to patients' symptoms and treats with utmost care & professionalism. His nurse is very helpful and my family members loved the clinic a lot. The front office is also courteous and friendly. Way to go, VSC..!

I have been going to Dr. Woods and his staff for many yrs. I have always found them to be professional, informative, and patient with my questions and concerns. It has not been difficult to get a timely appointment, and the wait time, when at the office, is minimal. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Everyone at both locations is great! Sharon at Gateway is at the front desk, and has been with this practice for a long time. She is always willing to help out with any insurance issues, which is a big help. Dr. Loehr has been my physician for years. He is great! He takes his time, and answers any questions or concerns I have. He is very attentive to my family history, as well. I have recommended him to others, who feel the same way about him, and the staff. He took his time fitting me for mono-vision contact lenses (which I highly recommend). The staff is always available when you call, and if they are with other patients, you are assured a call back shortly after a message is left. My entire family goes here. My daughter who now lives in New York returns home annually and always schedules her appointment with the Vision Care Center. Karie B. was exceptional in helping me get my mother's glasses repaired. She was kind, and very knowledgeable. You won't regret changing to this practice if you are looking for exceptional eye care.

My wife had this to say about The Vision Care Center..."Dr. Tharpe is wonderful and the staff is friendly and polite. You get a sense that they really do you care about you and your experience. Highly recommend Dr. Tharpe for lasik. I was a little nervous and one of his assistants actually held my hand through the lasik surgery...which was quick and painless. All around great experience."
