I had an emergency retinal tear and my physician called Dr. Hicks. They sent me straight from the doctor to Dr. Hick's office. I was taken back immediately. Dr Hicks was able to identify an additional tear in an unusual area of my eye. The surgeon who ultimately did the laser repair almost missed it and praised Dr Hicks for finding it. He's thorough and has amazing integrity with his craft! You'll be in great hands here read more

Dr Hicks and his staff exceeded my expectations again!!! They are the BEST, informative, kind and professional!!! I will always choose Dr Hicks for all my visual needs!!! The new facility is awesome! Love the colors, really reflects the light when eyes are dilated. Thanks Dr Hicks you ae amazing! read more

They don't understand insurance and can't do complex care. Very disappointed especially after they were referred to me. I highly suggest they take classes on understanding insurance read more

My 10 year old daughter is a patient and they have always been fantastic with her, but this morning my son became a patient emergently. My 21 year old son has had something in his eye for about a week. I had tried to get him to go to the doctor, but he was being stubborn. This morning at 7:45 I called the office and in the voicemail they gave Dr. Hicks number for ocular emergencies. I texted him and explained that my son was not a patient, but really needed to be seen. He texted me back within minutes and said to send him right over. Within 30 minutes of arriving, they took him back. My son said they were so amazing with him. They eased his worries and made him comfortable. He had to have shards of metal removed from his eye. I will recommend Dr. Hicks and Seeport to anyone and everyone! Some of the best customer care I have ever received. read more

Dr Hicks was so thorough and really took his time to diagnose what was going on with my eye. I have to say if you want to have a Dr that really cares about your well being and not just the $$dollar bills. Dr Hicks in my opinion is THE BEST optometrist in the North Port area. It's small, private and Professional not your average multi DR Associate office never knowing who you're going to see. read more

Dr. Hicks has a friendly, professional, and competent staff. Every person I dealt with knew their job. Dr. Hicks is concerned with patient care. I had the most thorough eye exam I have ever had. If you are looked for an eye doctor in North Port and Port Charlotte area I would strongly recommend Dr. Hicks and SeePort Optometry. read more

Dr. Jessie Hicks went above and beyond to help me. I went to see him as a new patient. His practice does not take my insurance. After an exam he discovered a horseshoe tear in my retina knowing my insurance he found me an excellent specialist and arranged to have him see me the next day (Sunday). Dr. Plous lasered my eye a couple of times and saved my sight. I went back to see Dr.Hicks again & my vision is excellent. I don't care if my insurance covers my visits I will continue to be a patient. He is very fair. read more

I can't say enough good things about this practice. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. The doctor takes his time with patients. He's thorough and will happily answer questions and discuss things with you. He is super friendly and makes you feel like a friend instead of just a patient. The practice is very family orientated and did wonderfully with my young children (3 years old and 7 years old) too. In fact, I had to bring my 4 month old with me to my appointment last year, a task that made feel very trepidatious. However, the doctor and staff were so wonderful. Instead of feeling like baby was in their way, it felt very inviting. Everyone was so sweet and accommodating. Though I must say, accommodating does not feel like the right word because they didn't make it feel like they were just being accommodating. It felt like they wanted baby to be there. They are just so warm and welcoming. Five stars! I recommend this practice to everyone. read more

Dr Hicks and staff are outstanding! Dr Hicks performs the most thorough eye exam I have ever had. The staff are excellent and very knowledgeable on all aspects of eye care. The total patient experience is like a well oiled machine-from the first hello when you enter the office to the completion of the insurance forms at the end of the visit. I would recommend Seeport to those who are seeking excellent patient care-you will not be disappointed. I would recommend highly! read more

We moved to Florida a couple of years ago and I needed to find an eye doctor. I was referred to Dr. Hicks by one of my neighbors last year and went for my first appointment. I was totally impressed with the way his staff took care of me and their ability to answer my questions. Dr. Hicks himself is extremely personable and takes his time with you. I got my first pair of glasses for which they have a special payment plan which I thought was extremely helpful. You literally pay so much per month for the year and everything is paid for when you're ready for your next appointment. I had my second appointment today and since there was basically no change in my prescription, he had no problem at all with my keeping the pair from last year. Other places you go to would insist you need a new prescription and new glasses. Dr. Hicks treats his patients "the way he would want to be treated". I highly recommend Seeport Optometry.

I was referred to Dr. Hicks by my primary Doctor at Epiphany Health care (also in North Port). I was able to get an appt. the next day. If you are a new patient, you can sign up online, prior to your appt. All of the staff are warm, knowledgeable and courteous. Dr. Hicks is by far one of the best eye doctors I've met!. He connects with you, the patient, and will answer any questions you have. All equipment is new, and no 'puff'' of air required with the new equipment! The office makes use of electronic medical records. I highly recommend Dr. Hicks and the staff at Seeport Optometry. They take various eye plans and have reasonable rates for self-pay. read more

Awesome doctor and staff! My insurance only allows my glasses to be done at an outside lab. They took a number of weeks to do them and send them to the office. Once there the staff double checked to be sure they were right. They weren't so the glasses were sent back. Another couple of weeks and I finely got them. Brought them home and noticed the lens had a wiggle in them. took them back to the office were the staff sent them back to the lab. After two weeks the lab still didn't have them done. I told the staff to just cancel them and I just wanted my money back for all the extras. Now here is the best part... the doctor wrote out the check for me!!! Instead of waiting to get the lab to refund my money they paid me!! How cool is that?? I will use Seeport and I will recommend them to everyone!! read more

A friend and I walked into Seeport Optometry to ask if someone could re-set a lens in my glasses. A young man told me he would take a look and within 5 minutes he returned them to me. He not only polished the lenses, he took my back-up glasses an cleaned them as well. Hats off to Tariq, a true professional and a gentleman. Thank you for helping an old man. Sincerely, Walter S. read more

First real eye exam I've had in years. Dr was very thorough & the entire staff was knowledgeable & friendly.
