 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very thorough and personalized service. The team not only treated me with care but shared an attitude of warmth and kindness toward each other. I was provided information regarding my vision insurance, labyrynthian as that is, with patience so that I was clear about how my benefits work regarding my exam costs as well as what to expect when I purchase my frames and lenses. Overall, the eyeworks staff feels exceptionally professional and at the same time like a welcoming family. Thank you for what turned out to be a pleasant return to your establishment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my annual visit the other day and I was very impressed again by the entire experience. Dr. Rice was great and my exam went well. It was recommended that I would benefit from new lens for distance and driving. I had Karyna help me and she was great. She found the perfect frames, in a color I really liked, and the comments I received from other customers told me  Karyna had picked the right one. Thank you both for making my visit so pleasant. I highly recommend Eye Works to anyone looking for professional eye care.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a good experience. I was taking right away. The eye exam was better than I usually have gotten in the past as two of my problems were taken into consideration. I was also given information about an upcoming visit from a vendor whose glasses I like and was told I can come then and talk to that representative about the special frames I like. All in all it was a good experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish, my experience at EyeWorks was nothing short of wonderful! The staff is so kind and compassionate, it truly felt like I was hanging out rather than getting my eyes checked. They do a great job explaining the process as you go through it, and they listen! I didn’t feel rushed or like a number. I hope they had as much fun as I did!

Very nice and professional in every way. My appointment was on time and the tech staff that did tests were great. I understood what they were doing and why Dr Higley is very nice and calming. The exam went quickly and easily   I clearly understood his assessment of my eye health. My appointment for next year is already scheduled. Their new location is great too.
