What an awesome business! First, the building itself is large and so clean with probably 20 racks of glasses (literally 800-1000 frames, easily). Every single person I dealt with was so kind and friendly, from the moment I walked in until I left. The doctor I saw, Dr. Miller, was super friendly and very knowledgeable and explained things so well. Also, the ladies that helped me plck glasses gave me excellent attention and helped me find what I wanted. They even went and picked out more stuff for me based on what they thought would look good on me. I just can’t say enough good things about this place! The people, the facility and the service were all top notch!

This is a wonderful practice. The staff were so polite and friendly. I saw Dr. Beckham and she was fantastic. She spent a good amount of time with me, addressing my concerns and reviewing the details of my retinal imaging and prescription. I will definitely be going back year after year. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for an eye doctor.

Athens Family Vision is a great place to have your eyes checked! Everyone was pleasant and appointment was on schedule. Dr. Beckham is very professional, personable, and most importantly very knowledgeable. Ruby got the visit started and she was super efficient but you didn’t feel rushed. If you need contacts, Angela will set up things ..I got two types to try before I buy ..just to make sure I don’t get stuck with something I don’t like! I have never been so pleased with a doctors visit ever.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr. Springer and the entire team at Athens Family Vision Clinic are truly phenomenal. My son is an adult with autism, and the time, care, patience, and compassion they showed him were exceptional. They treated him with dignity and kindness, and for that I am incredibly grateful. As a parent and caregiver, it can be challenging to advocate for someone who cannot always tell you what is wrong. It means so much when healthcare professionals take the time to truly listen—not just hear your concerns, but understand them and pay attention to the little details that make all the difference. If you're looking for an eye doctor who provides outstanding care and treats patients like family, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Springer and everyone at Athens Family Vision. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience such a positive one. — Lisa Harris
