I have been a patient with Eyecare of Vermont for a long time. I always felt like an object being…read moremoved from one chair to the next by the staff but accepted that that was something I had to put up with. I would smile be friendly, what I received in return was luke-warm polite. Then one day I decided to try this little shop on Battery Street. They are busy, but they had a way of joking and making me feel like they are glad to have me there. I LOVE my glasses and the lens they recommended. I recommend this shop without reservation.

Some days, the doctor doesn't listen and it behooves the patient to follow their gut. Other days,…read morethe doctor really knows what she's talking about and you're seeking professional advice and you should listen. Today? The latter. Having found Eyes of the World to have good Yelp reviews, I decided to check them out to get my very old glasses script updated. After the exam, I told the optometrist that I really like things super clear, despite her reluctance to bump me up by so much in each eye. She did, though, against her better judgment, and I went home with my crystal clear new script. A week and a half later now, I still haven't adjusted to the new script and I'm getting headaches. I go back in, totally ready to shell out for another set of lenses (it was my own dang fault that I overrode medical advice) and the optometrist refused to let me pay for the replacement lenses. Cost of doing business, she says, and wouldn't let me pay for the replacements despite repeated insistence. In the immediate term, they earned a big bag of thank-you cookies from a local bakery. In the long term, they won the total loyalty of an appreciative customer. I'm deeply impressed by their customer care, their knowledge of vision care, and their unfailing friendliness. I wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend them to anyone needing new lenses, new frames, and/or eye exams.

Love most of the staff...except for the most unfriendly front desk I've ever encountered, ever…read more I've been going here for years but am seriously considering another doctor, just because I almost always leave the office never wanting to return. The importance of friendly and welcoming front desk employees becomes more apparent to me with each visit. The rest of the staff truly are always wonderful, however. Very, very knowledgeable and helpful. The doctors are fast but are also thorough. They are patient with children and are just as patient with many questions. I never feel rushed. Most importantly, my children enjoy their eye doctor annual visits. I just hope the not-so-nice ladies in the front will learn that in many ways, they are the first and last impression of a business and take that responsibility seriously. Sometimes a smile, kindness, and simple etiquette can go a long way!

I have been going to this place and bringing my children to this place for over 10 years. My…read moreyoungest daughter, who is 11 years old now, has never been to another eye doctor. Yet the last time we went, which was last month, the doctor asked me if she'd ever had an eye exam there before. According to her, there was no record of her in their system other than to order glasses. Tell me how you lose an entire patient's records and then argue with me about it? I stayed calm and tried to explain that she has never seen another eye doctor, and that she has always been to Eyecare Of Vermont. Hell, she busted her skull when she was two years old in their waiting room and I had to take her to the ER. And yet, what I got in return was a condescending attitude and an eye roll. In my experience, these people do not care about you. You are an irritation they have to put up with to get a paycheck.

I'm not going to take extra steps to submit an insurance claim for the sake of a contracting issue. I was able to get an appointment quickly, and get my replacement contacts quickly.

This is a review of two different My Eye Doctor locations: one in Burlington, VT and the other in…read moreWilliston, VT. I have ordered glasses and was examined by the Burlington, VT location. This My Eye Doctor was EXCELLENT ! Although, parking is somewhat strenuous and complicated, their doctors and personnel are excellent. I appreciated the professionalism and expertise of the older doctors and fitters of eyeglasses. Having been there twice, l was not so impressed with the younger people who received customers behind their counter. They were impersonal and cool, treating potential clients very blandly and impersonally. The second location, Williston, VT, l only had telephone contact trying to make an appointment for my son who was working at the time. The young lady refused to allow me to make an appointment for him and promised to send me the permission forms acknowledging HEPA rules. They never came. I object to this LACK of professionalism and follow-through by the receptionist !! My son needs to see an Eye doctor, but he is crippled and cannot navigate the parking problems with Burlington location . If this receptionist employed by the Williston, VT location My Eye Doctor, would keep her promise to send the permission form , l would be able to make an appointment for him. So, this Williston, VT My Eye Doctor location, does NOT get a favorable review ; but the Burlington, VT , does.
