I recently started my eye care with The Eye Care Institute and I was very impressed with the entire team. Everyone was so kind, personable and professional. The entire service was efficient and they seem to take great pride and give extra attention to the level of care and service they provide to patients. The communication was top notch and I was told exactly what would be happening during my examination as it progressed. I met with Dr. McIntire who was thoughtful and thorough. She explained everything in detail and was delightful to meet. I could not ...

Dr. Woodruff has been my eye care professional for about 15+ years. She was pregnant with at least two of her children, and they are now in college! The staff has always been friendly and helpful. The facility is always clean. Procedures are explained and all questions are answered. If a question is asked, they have no problem saying they don't know and will research to give me the best information possible. Especially when it's about Lasik and contacts. Great staff and facility! I had a great conversation while waiting with another patient. She was ...

The check-in was initially difficult for me. Plus I had to reschedule to come back. Second time checked in, great. The young lady that took me back who did the pre-evaluation also going over my medications and then giving me my initial eye test was very professional and polite. I just had a very difficult time understanding her and sometimes she had a hard time understanding me. Her English was not very clear and made it difficult at times. The doctor was excellent helpful cleared some misunderstandings up very professional and kind. All in all my ...

I've gone to the eye doctor many times in my life, This was my first time here and it's never been as smooth and painless before All the women that took care of me were very nice and informative. They informed me of things I didn't know to ask. You could see the intense focus in their demeanor during examinations. That's what you want. 10/10

I trusted this clinic and Dr. John C. Meyer with my vision, and it was one of the worst decisions of my life. I am in my 40s and had cataract surgery on both eyes last year done by Dr. Meyers. Before surgery, I clearly explained that I wanted the best lens options available and that I did not want to end up needing glasses, since I had never needed them before. I was told I did not need the better lenses and was reassured that I would not need glasses afterward. After both surgeries, my close-up vision was completely destroyed. Anything within about ...
