He did an excellent job in evaluating my vision needs. Including pointing out an element of double vision that had not been corrected in my previous eyeglass prescription. There is an amazing amount of state of the art optical equipment in the office. Dr. Kelsch and all of his staff are knowledgeable in how to use the equipment they are assigned to use within their level of training. The staff documented the physical elements of my eyes and Dr. Kelsch did the visual examination to write the prescription for my glasses. Just like medical office staff uses basic equipment like blood pressure cuffs and pulse oximeters to relate basic physical characteristics to the doctor before he examines the patient. The doctor, the front office staff, and all of the employees in the office are extremely polite, professional, and knowledgeable. I have very high confidence in the doctor, the equipment, and all of the staff.

Like most "medical corporations," while the doctors and staff are pleasant enough, customer service…read moresuffers due to a focus on profit over consideration of patients. Today is Sept. 28 and the time is 11:00AM. I am scheduled for cataract surgery on Sept. 30, but have yet to hear from the scheduler the exact time, which I need so I can arrange for a ride to and from the procedure. I'm not sure whether this is from incompetence or just a general disregard for their patients. I'm a very unhappy patient at the moment. Update: It is now 9:30AM the day before my scheduled surgery. Still not a peep out of them to advise me of my arrival tine/instructions for surgery. If you have any other options besides Acuity, I strongly suggest you seek them out and avoid Acuity at all costs

Was so impressed with the level of care I received!…read more Made an appointment for a worrying concern about a blurry vision problem. Was promptly seen by Dr. Vorster and had my vision checked by the latest and greatest optometry equipment. In fact I have never had my eyes checked with digital microscopic read outs like these at other optometry facilities I have been to in the past. I think it was called OCT and Dr. Vorster was able to check the thickness of my retina and showed me the layers of the retina. I received my diagnosis and my concerns were relieved. Dr. Vorster suggested I follow up with a retina specialist to be extra careful and the ophthalmologist agreed fully with his diagnosis and prognosis. The reason I thought about going to Dr. Vorster in the first place was due to a friend's recommendation (the best kind) and after looking into his credentials, I realized he trained at Bascom Palmer, ranked #1 in the USA for the last 20 years in a row! https://umiamihealth.org/en/bascom-palmer-eye-institute#:~:text=Bascom%20Palmer%20Eye%20Institute%20is,annual%20rankings%2034%20years%20ago. Have since been getting my prescription distance driving and sunglasses over the past several years at Dr. Vorster and Dr. Gilman's office and the selection is premium. Dr. Gilman is awesome too as she has rechecked my vision a few times over several years to ensure my eye glass power is appropriate and always helps me find the right fit. Their staff is super kind too. They never rush me, letting me take as long as I want to pick out frames. I always feel bad about checking out all the different great looking frames, since I have a tough time choosing. They just reassure me stating, "we want you to get the absolute best pair of glasses so you will love them and be super happy". True enough, as other glasses I have bought online or at big box shops tend to get loose and floppy, have the lens pop out, or even break. You can't beat the selection and you get to pick any kind of lens you prefer. My favorite lens are the rapid shade transitions that allow me to run and hike in the full sun and then go directly indoors without skipping a beat. My glasses are super high quality - you just feel it when you put them on. You will love visiting Dr. Gilman, Dr. Vorster and their wonderful staff!

New patient/first time visit. They are a very friendly/welcoming office. I was seen by Dr…read more Voster. He was very thorough in my examination. He showed me the inside of my eyeballs and explained everything going on with my eyesight. He even explained how my medication also helps widen the veins in my eyes to get blood flowing there. We talked about how my vision affects me at work, daily life and what type of lenses suited my needs. Dr. Voster also recommended some eye drops to help with the dryness. He escorted me to another side of the office that was where the glasses were. They have a decent selection. The person that helped me gave me recommendations and broke down costs. Overall it was a great experience, but just an FYI - it was a bit of a sticker shock with the kind of lenses I got. I got the ones where I can see far when driving and have readers for close up. Personally, I should have just got regular glasses and bought some readers separately. Lol I say consider this place as an option. They are truly a great staff with excellent services - and the costs reflect that. That may be a little more than one anticipates. To give u an idea, exam + eyeball thing + frames + lenses... I think it came out to $260 out of pocket. Mind you, my insurance is pretty great. Anyhow. Hope this info helps!
