I love Dr. Dobbins and his staff. Dr. Dobbins is very thorough and he explains things in common…read morelanguage. He talks to you and not at you. He also has a wicked sense of humor and a terrific bedside manner. His office is comfortable and inviting. I also get great service from his staff. Everyone at the front desk and the technicians are friendly and helpful. A few years ago I had an eyelid cyst that needed surgery. Dr. Dobbins was so helpful. He helped me not be frightened of the procedure and he referred me to an eyelid surgeon (who knew there was such a job) who was masterful at the surgery. On at least one occasion when i have called Dr. Dobbins himself answered the phone. I had to chuckle because that is just how he operates. There have been many services he has not charged me for, either. He did not charge me to find an errant contact lens or to get a phone diagnosis. I would not think of going anywhere else in Lawrence to get my precious eyes examined and for my eye care.

Staff, clinic, and treatment are very well put together! However, if you are a new patient, instead…read moreof asking if you'd like to do a retinal imaging scan (which isn't typically covered by insurance), they just go ahead and do it (I've never seen their technology before). Also, unless your wallet allows otherwise, your only 'budget friendly frames' are Tom Ford or Oakley. You may walk out with samples and a coupon, you may also be offered $250 rebate via virtual visa if you order a 12 month supply of disposable contacts, only a total of $700+ out of pocket (if insurance shells out $150) and have 'single vision' no biggie. My bill was $136.20 and I didn't even purchase frames nor contacts, not even offered/given a copy of my updated prescription. I sent an email requesting an itemized receipt as well as the prescription to the address that sent a screenshot of my 6 month supply quote, we'll see if I get a reply. I wish they had a patient portal because the website is too finicky to submit a 'Contact Us' form.

Lawrence Pediatrics is exceptional. From the first meeting while pregnant through all of our…read morenewborn appointments so far, we have been impressed. The office is decorated in a perfect way for children with each room having a theme and being super colorful and fun. Dr. Evans is GREAT with children. She really invests in your child, making them the biggest priority she has while with them. Everyone else on the staff has been fantastic as well - personable, professional, kind, warm, friendly - just what you would hope to expect from a doctor's office where you take your most precious little human. I can't imagine seeing any other Pediatrician.

By far the most incompetent staff that I have ever encountered at any business in my entire life…read more DO. NOT. GO HERE! First off, I very rarely take the time write bad reviews. I am not some "Karen" who goes around searching for things to get offended at. I have simply had so many consistently terrible experiences as a visitor here that I want to warn you so I can spare you the agony of dealing with these people. Without fail, every time I've come here, the staff has made some sort of MAJOR mistake that has inconvenienced me, wasted my time, caused me frustration, etc. Here is just a sampling of some choice highlights: 1) They ordered me the completely wrong contact lens prescription. (Then when I call to tell them about this major mistake, instead of profusely apologizing for the embarrassing mistake like you might expect, the lady on the phone instead rudely argues with me, and tells me that I'm wrong, that I don't know what I'm talking about, and that that is indeed the correct prescription. So I was only even able to finally get around to getting the correct prescription ordered after I had to keep arguing with her about the matter until she finally put someone on the phone who cared enough to look into it more carefully. Not exactly the ideal customer service experience.) 2) They gave me the wrong "lookup code" (or whatever it's called) for a pair of glasses I liked, so I could reference it later and buy them. Instead when I looked it up online, the code they gave me was for a totally different pair of glasses. 3) After my last visit, I decided to switch to a different contact brand after discussing some eye issues I was having with the doctor. The staff at the front, when they were going to order my year's supply of contacts, was about to order the wrong brand that the doctor and I had just agreed to switch away from -- and it was only because I double-checked what brand they were ordering that I caught the mistake and didn't get stuck with a year's supply of the wrong contacts that I didn't want. 4) The previous time I had ordered contacts through them.... the contacts just never even arrived. Not sure if they got lost in transit, if they never got ordered to begin with, no clue -- but I had to get them re-ordered after several weeks of waiting. 5) After they screwed up, ordered the wrong contact prescription, then re-ordered the correct one, I called to confirm if they were there or not, they put me on hold, said they'd check, then returned and said "Nope they're not in yet." Which was strange because I was set up to get shipping tracking notifications for those contacts, and I had an email right in front of me which said they had arrived 4 days ago. I let her know about this, she checked again, and the contact lenses somehow magically appeared in front of her after she had just told me they weren't there. 6) As a bonus, one of their employees who works in the key customer-facing position (ie the lady at the desk, answering the phones, etc) is consistently very rude as well. She'll be rude on the phone, she'll be rude in person, she'll give pushback, she'll have an attitude and clearly seem annoyed with her tone and her body language when you're just asking basic questions -- it makes you want to just *run away from this place* to avoid having to deal with her. She was even loudly badmouthing some of the other customers to her coworkers while I was browsing glasses like 8 feet away and could clearly hear what she was saying -- LOL. Every single visit, without fail, the staff here will screw something up, and they'll leave you feeling frustrated. That has been my experience every single time I have come here -- and I could not more strongly recommend that you avoid this place.

I've been seeing Dr. Green at Lawrence Family Vision since I moved back to Lawrence in 2009. Four…read moreyears and two new prescriptions later, I'm still thrilled with the care I receive there. I usually show up a few minutes early for doctor appointments, and I have always been taken in to see Dr. Green right on time. Since I've usually got better things to do than sit in a waiting room (who doesn't?), I really appreciate the staff's promptness in getting my appointment going on schedule and making sure I'm in and out in a timely fashion. Dr. Green is a fantastic doctor and just a really nice person in general. She is always very professional but also very friendly and personable during my visits. She takes the time to explain what she's doing and never minds answering the questions I ask about what the different procedures measure and how they help her take care of my eyes. She's also very patient. You know that test they do where they have the lenses that they flip back and forth, and they say something along the lines of, "Which is better: one or two? Three or four?" I'm always afraid I'm going to get that test wrong, like I'm sitting for an exam and being graded on whether or not I give the right answers. (I totally get that this isn't how the test works, but I'm still always paranoid about it.) Consequently, I end up asking her to flip back and forth a couple of times on each one to make sure I'm getting it right. She never acts like I'm anywhere near as ridiculous as I know I am. The clinic also has a really nice selection of frames with lots of lens options, from featherweight scratch-resistant plastics with anti-glare coatings to special solar-activated darkening coatings that turn regular glasses into sunglasses when you're outside. I've never had a problem finding a pair that will both look great on me and fit all my needs. All in all, the staff and Dr. Green have made my visits a really pleasant experience, so much so that I actually look forward to my yearly eye exams with them. Now, if only I could find a dentist that makes me feel the same way!
