Optometrists in Atlanta

“E X P E R I E N C E I have extension vision history and have considered lasik for a long time. I wore Ortho-K (hard corrective contacts) when I was 6 years old until 12 years old. Then have been wearing soft contacts (I hate glasses- bouncing around my face making me motion sick, and the side view limitations/distortion) for loong time after that. My vision is -650/-675. I did extensive research on which doc and company to go with. I've had several close friends come to this location and have a wonderful experience. The pre-procedure doc (Indian lady) said that they treated a woman of -1200 (my mind literally doesn't understand what that means bc without glasses, I could barely read a foot in front of me and anything more than a foot, were shapes and colors to me). This place, is the bombdiggity.com (does that expose my age lol). ***Initial Consultation: You'll go in for a consultation. Do not be alarmed at the sheer number of people there. The turnover is quick! I went in at 8am, done by 930am. They even offered same day procedure (but due to personal obligations, it wasn't a viable option for me. So I opted to do it 3 weeks later). ***Day Of: Overview: Check in. Sign papers (they really CYA bc they make you sign multiple paragraphs and parts of the paragraphs multiple times to make sure you understand lmao). Pay. (GO PEE NOW). You'll meet Dr Smith for a last assessment. Then procedure. Then Head home! I arrived at 7:55am for my 8am scheduled time and I was done by 10am. *The Procedure: From the moment you are called in, to the moment you walk out, it's a 15 min situation. You'll put your stuff down. (feel free to throw your glasses out the metaphorical window). You'll put on a bonnet. The staff will have you lay down on the OR table (in between two machines). It's a little chilly in the room (we love that. Less bacterial growth) and there's cool funky classic music on (makes you conflicted because i wanna dance but not really because I was nervous for the procedure loll it was calming/uplifting). They put some guaze on either side of your eyes then they'll flood your eyes several times with the numbing drops (It's really soothing). The doc comes in, floods your eyes again. Slides you under machine to the right, puts these clamps under your eyelid to keep your eyelids open (doesn't hurt I promise; you just see him doing stuff but no pain). Then tells you to look at the green light, then he puts this plastic looking circular thing (I bet you love my very proper official names) and presses down on your eyeball (all you feel is pressure. Again, no pain. My vision went black and I could see spots of light). Then he slides you over to the machine on the left and that's where the magic happens. Theres no light or laser to look at; so just look somewhere in the middle. (I just saw a bright white screen with white lights in a circle. He counts down "5 seconds'.."3 seconds"..."Done!" which is so reassuring). Your first eye is done. (Literally it's done before you know it). Repeat second eye. Then you're told to sit up. (I thought I f-ed it up bc I didn't know where to look for the second machine, BUT when I sat up, it was so hazy BUT I could already see better than without my glasses T__T it was. Amazing.) Walk over to the third part (separate machine), where he floods your eyes with more numbing drops and uses forcep like tools to go fishing around on your eyeballs (again, doesn't hurt. It's just weird lmao I'm assuming he's laying the corneal flap down properly). You look at a green dot. As he's moving the (I'm assuming) flap around, this large fuzzy red circular shape appears. You hear clicking and smell something burning. A few seconds and it's done. Repeat second eye. I literally gushed at the doc and the two staff members and thanked them (I was still stunned from the procedure tho) and walked out. YOU'RE DONE. (I could read some text on my phone!) Get home safely! *Post“

“This entire experience was 5-Star from the time I walked into Dr. Ray’s office. Each member of her team was professional, courteous, knowledgeable and kind. Dr. Ray was personable, caring, professional and a phenomenal Clinician. I’ve found my Doctor of Optometry!!!“

“So glad I found Eyeclectic. Dr. Knouff was patient and thorough, addressing all of my concerns. Eyeclectic has a great, curated frame collection — high quality Salt, Tom Ford, Orgreen. And the opticians do a great fitting. Thanks, Tim and David! Now I can see, I look nice, my frames are comfy. Yay!“

“Staff and Physician are equally dedicated to your eye health. A dedicated physician with support truly interested in their patients' care and time. The eyewear selection is conservative and fresh and imaginative. There is something for everyone. The office is bright, cheerful and interesting. A clever space with personal, professional care.“

“Allyson was incredible! Realigned my glasses in a matter of minutes. Excellent service highly recommend!“

“I was so pleasantly surprised by my first experience here - and would definitely look forward to going back. The staff were all super- friendly and personable and pleasant, and also very efficient. Dr. Choe was great. She took time with my s.o. and me (we had back-to-back appointments) and listened to each of our concerns and our individual vision issues. She made a recommendation for me that was fairly different than my previous doctor and prescription and the improvement is already very apparent. This experience far exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely recommend!“

“Greg was very helpful in suggesting frames and collaboration on the best style for my face!“

“Amazing care and service exceeds expectations. Dr. Patel is one of the best doctors I’ve received care from. She is thorough, attentive, and pleasant. She answered all of my questions and genuinely seemed to care.The service there is outstanding as well. I recently had to have a pair of glasses repaired that I purchased from Windsor over a year ago. Despite having nothing to do with the frame getting damaged themselves (was likely caused by another eyeglass shop) and the frame being out of warranty, Windsor repaired my glasses for free— I didn’t even make the request. 12/10 recommend.“

“Love Dr. Pence, Saundra, Alethia! Everyone is friendly, professional, office is clean, quiet! Highly recommend!“

“We love Family Eye Care of Atlanta! Dr. Locke and her staff are so kind, welcoming, patient and caring. We drive an hour just to see them. They are especially patient with my little one who is autistic and requires more explanation and patience. Great job!! Highly recommended!“

“Target Optical is great on customer service and a wide array of stylist frames for everyone , you won’t be disappointed.“

“Gavin Cohen is the best there is from his compassionate manner to his cutting edge technology and knowledge of the latest trends in eye care industry ! He has helped family members and friends from their day to day issues to much more serious issues and they are all very happy with the care they received.“

“Professional, knowledgeable and helpful! An amazing staff who always makes me feel welcome and taken care of. Thanks to Cindy Cieszko and her team of professionals!“

“Insight eye care is the most thorough, effective, professional and friendly health care around. I always have a stellar experience with Dr. Rachel Sweeney and her associates. I trust my eyes to this outfit and I have tricky eyes. I cannot recommend them highly enough.“

“Dr. Patorgis is great! He always provides excellent customer service and answers all my questions and concerns.“

“Business professional, Strong focus on healthy eye care and quality of vision. Great Customer Service team. Personal service in a COVID safe medical environment. I am completely satisfied with my visit.“

“Very pleased with Dr. V and staff. Professional approach and solid diagnosis. Good team, highly recommended.“

“About a month ago, I escorted my mother to a location in ATL for a follow-up visit. I was impressed with two busy secretaries while my Mom filled out the usual forms. One employee named Star came to my aid after a trip to the cafeteria with an array of tips and information as to my mother's circumstance. She had a very pretty associate who got up and left, but it was definitely Star time. All in all, this trip proved to be a very sure step in my Mom's recovery.“

“These positive reviews don't lie! I experienced excellent customer service and the prices are really good.“

“After suffering a brain injury that involved disrupting my mental vision processing center, I was recommended to visit Dr. Serrano for a functional eye exam. At over 5 years out from my original accident and several doctors later, I have undergone a lot of vision testing and diagnoses. Dr. Serrano was friendly, competent and extremely thorough - he spent nearly 3 hours with me and actually uncovered a major eye condition that still had not been detected! I was very impressed. Post appointment dealing with his staff regarding insurance information, billing, and receiving documentation from the day has been quite difficult and non-communicative. I subtracted one star for dealing with those particulars.“

“Dr.Patorgis makes me (someone with severe health anxiety) feel at ease and comfortable. He takes the time to answer all questions and to explain things thoroughly. I never feel rushed or uncared for!“

“They are great! Quick appointment and very helpful with what I needed. I recently moved and was nervous about finding a new eye doctor because I had a great one back home, and they did a great job! I would recommend.“

“Shanteria and Kayla helped me repair my glasses , I've been needing to do it for weeks and finally found the time“

“Both my wife and I picked up new eyewear with Charisse! She was great and so is our new look!!“

“Dr. Boxer is always extremely professional and timely. My whole family relies on Dr. Boxer and have for years. I would 100 recommend him.“
