 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Rice is fantastic! She clearly and genuinely enjoys her work! Her knowledge and enthusiasm are contagious and she has a very strong ability to make her exams and findings clear and easy to understand. You will love her! The whole staff is great really. Friendly is great but being cared for by people who obviously enjoy what they are doing and have authentic interest in your specific needs is a rare and hugely appreciated experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Rice is phenomenal—compassionate, meticulous, and genuinely invested in patient health. I never felt hurried during the exam, and every diagnostic finding was explained clearly. The front-desk and clinical staff were equally warm, professional, and efficient. A standout practice from start to finish." Sincerely,  Rose M.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best experience of my life. The nurse was fantastic and the eye doctor was absolutely perfect. I can’t thank them both for dealing with me with so much professionalism but also fun.  My doctor reviewed everything with me and explained so I could understand everything, even reviewing the internal pictures of my eyes was amazing. I will recommend the eye care facility to everyone, especially my doctor and nurse. Thank you again

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I walked in, I was greeted by a very friendly receptionist who got me an appointment for the same day from there I was greeted by Dr. Rice she was excellent never had anything negative to say when I couldn’t see what the letters were she told me I did a good job Even when I couldn’t read the whole thing She explained everything that she was doing. I understood everything it was great.. from there I was greeted by Melissa She totally made my day Very, very helpful helpful in picking out a new pair of glasses. Let me know if She like them or not. It was kind of funny. I totally loved her. Plus we had something in common and we both like to go rock picking. I may ask her to go with me someday all in all, as you can see I had a really fun day and hopefully they had fun with me. Yours truly, Kathy Kelley

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my annual visit the other day and I was very impressed again by the entire experience. Dr. Rice was great and my exam went well. It was recommended that I would benefit from new lens for distance and driving. I had Karyna help me and she was great. She found the perfect frames, in a color I really liked, and the comments I received from other customers told me  Karyna had picked the right one. Thank you both for making my visit so pleasant. I highly recommend Eye Works to anyone looking for professional eye care.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a good experience. I was taking right away. The eye exam was better than I usually have gotten in the past as two of my problems were taken into consideration. I was also given information about an upcoming visit from a vendor whose glasses I like and was told I can come then and talk to that representative about the special frames I like. All in all it was a good experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish, my experience at EyeWorks was nothing short of wonderful! The staff is so kind and compassionate, it truly felt like I was hanging out rather than getting my eyes checked. They do a great job explaining the process as you go through it, and they listen! I didn’t feel rushed or like a number. I hope they had as much fun as I did!
