- MDMichael DandridgeJun 14, 20261.0During my eye exam the Dr did multiple test then put drops in my eyes then had ne wait 40mins he then did more poking on my eyes from different angle when the dilation solution wore off painful. After that he released me I asked what about my glasses or contacts. He gave me a contact I put in my eye the after 15mins I decided to leave 55mins of waiting a little more than two hours total I left not happy. I'll finish somewhere else.
- BOBrian OstrowskiMay 19, 20265.0A great place for picking out glasses and seeing an ophthalmologist. When it comes to getting your order done and picking out glasse, Becky is the best!
- LALaurie AndersonFeb 17, 20265.0Rebecca picked out the best glasses with me, I ever had. She was patient and very informative, top notch service . Thank you to all the team there
- DBDylan Baney-GormanJan 29, 20265.0I’ve been using NIO for over 15 years. Hands down the best optical clinic in the area. Highly recommend.
- GGGlennJan 28, 20265.0Everyone in town I called would not repair my wireless frame glasses. Brought them here to see if they could be repaired. Kyla said “be right back” and in less than 5 minutes my favorite pair of glasses were fixed. That’s why people come back here year after year.
