Very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff! Dr. Avery was very nice and warm hearted. Made my visit much more fun and entertaining than I was expecting. Never had glasses before but he explained in clear language exactly what was going on with my vision. Look forward to picking up my new glasses!

I love going to Dr. Avery, he has been my eye doctor since the 7th grade and I'm am 30 now! He gives me the best contacts that I can possibly see out of and has reversed the blindness significantly. Always makes me feel welcomed and so does the front receptionist.
I understand that your closed for covid-19 and you and your staffs health but you have patients that need some assistance. My insurance only pays for one examination a year. I need new glasses and I have already gotten my yearly exam from Avery Eye care and with you being closed and no one taking calls or answering messages, I can't access my prescription therefore can't get the glasses I need. I don't have a license if I don't have glasses. Please help! Your mailbox is full. 2 of those messages are from me trying to get my glasses prescription sent to my house. Which was an option on your voicemail until it it filled up. Thank you. Unsatisfied Avery eye care patient! Julie
I have been a patient here for nearly two decades. The staff are friendly and Dr. Avery is very personable. As the doctor enjoys connecting with each patient, you may have to wait awhile for your turn, but it's worth it. Despite the rustic building and immediate office set-up, they have modern exam equipment and some of the latest frames and lens technologies available. Dr. Avery helped invent/create the toric lense -- if you have astigmatism, you'll definitely hear about it! :)
Edit: Dr Avery was very wrong about his diagnosis & prescription of my daughters vision. She had another eye exam & was diagnosed as nearsighted, not farsighted which is what he said she was, even though I told him she could see close up, but not far away. He was rude & unprofessional. My glasses that I got from him have also made my vision much worse & my glasses are peeling, which causes itching on the bridge of my nose. I suppose you get what you pay for. I had an appointment with Dr Avery one week & took my daughter the next. My visit was pleasant. I thought the dr was knowledgeable & nice. The next week, I took my daughter & after "mapping" her eyes, which was literally looking at her eyes thru a machine for a couple mins, he told me she was farsighted. I said "farsighted, but she can see close up, but can't see far away". He looked right at me & said "this quarter million dollar machine knows more about her eyes than you do". I told him I was basing my judgment off of what my 12 year old daughter tells me she can & cant see (she couldnt see the board in class, but can see to read close up). He then went on to give her an eye exam. He told her he could see thru his machine what she could & couldnt see. He told her that he knew she could see the letters clearly & demanded that she tell him what the letter was after she repeatedly said she couldnt see it. My daughter is honest & respectful. Shes not going to lie about what she can & cant see during an eye exam. I'd say that Dr Avery puts way too much faith & trust into his quarter million dollar machine & none in his patients. I was so worried that my daughters glasses would be an incorrect prescription, especially considering my own glasses gave me a daily headache for 2 weeks after my own appointment. She says she can see clearly, but she also has had headaches for a week now. The best part about our visit was the lady who helps pick out the glasses. She was sweet & took her time to make sure they fit correctly. I dont think I'll be going back there though & I had high hopes for this place because I had always heard good things.
