I've worn glasses since 3rd grade and have been patients of several eye doctors over the years…read more There is only one eye doctor that I liked immensely but his offices are now 2600 miles away. So, I don't think I'll be visiting him any time soon. Since moving here to East Tennessee ten years ago, I've had two eye doctors but neither really did it for me. I was without insurance for two years, and so when I got new insurance, I began my search. I wanted an established practice with a great reputation that was nearby. My search included Hardin Valley Eye Care and because it was nearest to my house, I made an appointment. The minute I walked into the office, I was encouraged. COVID protocols are still being practiced - 1st star; reception and staff were super friendly - 2nd star; I was seen at my appointment time instead of waiting around like other offices - 3rd star; When I met Dr. Travis Thompson, the deal was sealed - 4th star; and they have a large selection of frames - 5th star. I could go on with more stars, but they've already secured my business for years to come. I picked up my glasses today and I haven't seen with such clarity since my eye doctor in California. This is a classy, professional and welcoming practice which I have already recommended to others. So drop by and SEE if they are a FIT for your optical needs.

If you want excellent customer experience and an extremely competent and knowledgeable optometrist,…read morelook no farther than Hardin Valley Eye Care with Dr. Thompson and his staff. Dr. Thompson's exams are thorough, and he seems genuinely caring about patients. The staff is efficient as well.

Dr. Best lives up to her name. What a patient, prompt, and caring doc. In Ohio, our son was…read moreterrified of going to the eye doctor, as they didn't explain things well and were impatient with him re: immense fear of eye dilation. Here, they provide an option of having a photo taken of eyes instead of dilation (at an extra cost). This was a welcomed alternative and saved us all a lot of time and tears, too. As someone who has never worn glasses, Dr. Best explained to me what she was doing and why, and answered any questions I had without a lot of medical jargon that would make me scratch my head in confusion. After the eye photos, she even had my son come over to look at the pics and ask her questions. He thought that was super cool. He (shockingly) told me as we left, "That was pretty fun, Mommy!" Whatttt?! We were seen very quickly and the appointment only lasted about 30 minutes, including picking out and purchasing new frames. Speaking of, there was a pretty big selection of youth frames, which was refreshing. They were all fairly affordable (most under $150) and ended up being fully covered by our insurance. Thrilled to have found this office, with high-tech exams, and highly empathetic staff.

But....all that is irrelevant when you look at the purpose of the visit. Had an appointment with Dr M. After 45 mins in the waiting room, a Tech engaged and he covered the routine measurements, and then moved me in the exam room. Here he collected the additional routine, background info (5 more mins). And then I waited...for another 20 mins with no dr to show for. About 70 mins past my appointment time I walked out to the front desk and asked to pay what I owed, and to cancel the appointment. Dr. M came to the front escorting another patient. Front desk girls explained to her why I was in the front , and without any other explanation, or any other glance towards me, told them that I don't owe them any payment. And Dr M walked away in the back again without a second look. I would have much rather pay for a much needed appointment than wasting 70 mins waiting for a doctor. I was looking forward to this appointment after seeing all the 5* reviews. But now I saw that most of them are older than 2 years; maybe this office started focusing more on the business and lost track of caring for the patients.

The staff were warm, welcoming, and worked together seamlessly like a well-coordinated team. Dr. Fry was not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely friendly and attentive. He took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and never made me feel rushed or like he was in a hurry to move on to the next patient. I was especially pleased to learn that Dr. Fry is capable of performing nearly all of the services an ophthalmologist can--aside from surgery--which gave me great confidence in the level of care I was receiving. The entire office was spotless, modern, and equipped with the latest technology, all of which appeared to be in excellent condition.

They are IN NETWORK on my insurance. They charged me $45 that day, and today I received a bill for $150 more to be paid. The total charge for a standard eye exam for contact lenses was $483.00!!!!!! FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY THREE!!! I have a $10 co-pay on an eye exam. And they have billed me $195. Thank goodness my insurance covered some of the charges. I can't imagine if I didn't have coverage! I must return to pick up my contacts and hopefully the new ones are correct. I can't imagine what I will be charged if I need an adjusted prescription! Once I am all set with contacts I will NEVER use this group again. My husband has also been a patient of this group in the past but will find a new provider for his exam this year. Unless cost is not a concern, I absolutely do NOT recommend this provider
