This was my first time going to this place, and it will definitely be my last. I was referred here by a coworker. My appointment was on 04/04/26 for a contact lens eye exam. The eye exam itself went great, and the doctor was very nice. However, at the end of my visit, I was told they did not have my prescription in stock because of how strong it is, which I completely understand. The doctor told me the office would order a trial pair of contacts for me, and if I liked them, I could place an order. I was quoted about a week for them to come in, which is normal since I’ve ordered contacts many times through my previous eye doctor. I was also told I would receive a text or phone call once they arrived. After waiting about 10 days, I called the office and was told my contacts still were not in yet. Again, I was assured I would receive a call or text once they arrived. I waited another 7–10 days and still heard nothing. Now here I am over a month later with no update at all. This is ridiculous. I literally went into that appointment wearing my last pair of contacts. If I had known this office was going to handle things this way, I would have stayed with my previous eye doctor

Came in as a walk in first thing in the morning everyone seemed to be going fairly smooth till I was taken back and left sitting there while other customers were taken back and in rooms to see the Dr. The staffed seemed lost and I believe there was only one Dr trying to juggle all these patients. If you know you're going to be short staff then don't take walk ins. I would of rather been turned away than stuck sitting in the back waiting area while everyone else went into a room. Do not recommend!
Dr. Heather has always been great and very professional. The staff is efficient and polite. I HIGHLY recommend this office for your eye visit! Be sure to book an appointment early in the morning and on a weekday. P.S. I get my contact lenses at Sam’s Club, $240 out-of-pocket, or $91 after VISION insurance ($150 benefit)
The whole staff are solid. If your appointment is 1pm, be prepared to see your Dr an hour later but that seems to be standard procedure. The doctor is efficient and personable.
Nice staff & great visit with Dr. Gill who is very personable. I did wait in the exam room awhile after the first interview. Overall a good experience, and my new prescription is perfect. Great location near Target.
