Dr. Julie is an exceptional optometrist, and this rating is strictly a reflection of the practice's front-office management. Having been patients here for several years, we consistently experience unacceptable hostility from the reception staff. Because our family of five chooses to decline optional diagnostic testing and purchase our eyewear elsewhere—where our benefits stretch further—we are routinely met with snotty remarks, visible eye rolls, and substandard service. This pattern of unprofessional behavior has occurred year after year across multiple staff members. Dr. Julie’s clinical excellence is unfortunately severely undermined by an front desk team that penalizes patients for making financially practical healthcare decisions.

When concerns about my daughter’s vision started I began searching for an eye doctor who sees pediatric patients. I found Dr. Julie at Advanced Eyecare and scheduled an appointment. This was my daughter’s first appointment and she gets a bit anxious about medical appointments, so I was nervous going into it. The staff were all phenomenal. They were friendly, energetic, and kind. They talked to my daughter, not just at her, asked her questions and made the appointment fun. They were able to address our concerns and determine a treatment plan. They explained everything so well and we left with all of our questions answered. I’m planning to move my whole family over to Advanced Eyecare and would highly recommend!
I've been sharing my wonderful experience with everyone. Dr. Julie was VERY helpful and informative. I have never had an eye doctor explain things to me like she did. Highly recommend!
Dr. Julie was absolutely fantastic. She explained everything she was doing in detail and was incredible informative. I've had pictures of the back of my eye before, but no one had ever given me as detailed an explanation with everything being pointed out before. I was honestly amazed by the amount of time she spent explaining everything to me, it was greatly appreciated. The entire staff is wonderful, and while you might pay a little extra for the extra testing, it's well worth it.
If I could give them 10 stars I would ! Tina, Bella and the entire team went above and beyond against all odds to ensure that my husband had his prescription in time for a last minute cross country road trip. We were not even previous clients of Advanced Eye care but were in town for a doctors visit. All we had was his previous prescription in Hand, and the fact that our vision insurance referred us to them. We stopped in unannounced, no appointment yet they understood the urgency of him needing his prescription in less than two weeks; and they pulled it off. They followed his prescription glasses from start to finish to ensure that they were moving along in the process and even helped me coordinate expedited shipping . I didn’t think we had a chance of such a tall order But they pulled it off!🙌 Everyone was so kind and so helpful and we cannot thank them enough!
