I haven't submitted a review in a while, but Red Mountain Eye Care deserves some love!…read more I've had an ongoing stye for the last few months that turned into a full blown infections a few weeks back. I couldn't get it to see my regular optimist so I called them for a last minute appointment. Not only did the receptionist put me at ease, but the doctor provided tons of feedback, solutions, and prescribed a regime that cleared it right up. A few weeks later my boyfriend and I returned for an eye exam. My boyfriend is legally blind and has trouble with optometrists in the past, but he loved Red Mountain Eye Care. They were friendly, easy-going, and really listened to the problems he was having with his vision. I would highly recommend this great practice!

I cannot recommend Dr. Gagnon and his staff enough! Not only did they explain the ranges of why my…read moreinsurance would cover and what I would be responsible for, they also never tried to talk me into the "high-end" of anything from the lenses to the frames. There was no pressure to buy anything from them at all. The prices of their frames are a fraction of what I was used to at my former eye care facility and I was truly impressed by everyone I worked with. Dr. Gagnon performed a thorough exam and helped me to understand the changes my eyes have gone through and helped determine the perfect prescription for me. I will definitely be going back and recommending Red Mountain Eye Care to everyone I know!

It's always easy to make an appointment and they have a good selection of glasses and contacts. They take their time and answer any questions you may have.

If you have bad vision, like myself, you know how important it is to find a place that's caring and always willing to help when needed. I found that in this place. If you're looking for an optometrist definitely check this place out!!!

So here is the deal.... If you want a good eye exam but don't mind it taking longer than most…read moreplaces then UAB eye care is the place to go. You can see optometry students or residents or attending physicians. If you opt for a student be prepared for the exam to take about 2 hours. The students are very thorough but have to clear things with the resident or attending. If you opt for the resident be prepared for the exam to take 1-1 1/2 hours. The resident has more experience but depends on their speed and thoroughness as to how long it will take. The attending is most experienced so tends to take the shortest amount of time but that also depends on their schedule. This past week I saw this years resident and he was not the fastest. He was super laid back and didn't seem to be in a rush to get anything done. He also had 2 other patients he was working on so this visit was longer than usual. I like that they are thorough here as an optometry school so I tend to come yearly to see someone. This may not be for everyone - especially those in a hurry. But with all my eye issues, I will take the extra time.

The past two years I've gone to this location for my eye exam, but after this past week's visit, I…read morewill not be going again. The office REEKED of marijuana. Really bad. Not sure if it was from an employee or a patient, but it was so much it was permeating the entire back part of the office. I had seen the doctor, and I was sitting in the back waiting for my eyes to dilate. My eyes were already sensitive from the dilation, and then the employee came through spraying febreeze in the air to remove the smell of marijuana, which irritated my eyes even more! I couldn't believe it. I was cleared to leave after 20 more minutes. I was asked if I wanted to look at glasses, but I couldn't stand to be in the office anymore. I'll go elsewhere to purchase glasses, and will go somewhere else for my exam next year.

I was greeted after a few minutes and told they would be with me soon. No problems, I took a seat and surfed the web while I waited. My reminder alarmed went off reminding me of my pending appointment. For some reasons a business conversation had turned into wedding plans conversation while I waited. When I stood up and headed towards the exit all of a sudden they wanted to treat me like a paying customer. Oh no thank you, this isn't a place I'm willing to spend my money. There was more than one employee that could have displayed professional behavior but choice to ignore me. My friend loves this place. Me? I will never darken their doorsteps again.

I only saw Dr. Phillips, and he was able to diagnose my troubles. I guess I would describe Dr. Phillips as sort of grandfatherly; he asked me questions about what I do and would comment on current news stories. The front desk staff and nurses were polite and professional. Marie, the contact lens fitter, is a nice lady who is patient, willing to explain everything and often just starts explaining things without you asking, and is dedicated to putting you in the best possible lenses. She also doesn't push you to buy contacts from them which is something I always worry about. I think Marie is part of the optical shop side of AOA (Optiks), but I'll just include her here. Minus one star because of the unpredictable doctor wait times.
