I’ve been going to Dr. Birmingham for over 20 years. I think he is great and his staff is very friendly and accommodating. He is a little more expensive than chain stores, but it is worth it. I highly recommend him!

If I could give zero stars I would. Don’t show up late within a 10 minute window or they won’t see you. Staff is absolutely rude and not accommodating. I guess they forget some of us are single parents with a life outside of their “strict” schedule. Dr Fred is a fantastic guy, it’s a shame he has such a terribly pissed off clerical staff. I won’t be returning. It’s not the same place it used to be.

The staff is excellent. Ashley is my favorite. She has a wealth of knowledge about all things optical. Her expertise is phenomenal. She is the only person I trust to make any adjustments and repairs to my glasses, knowing they will fit perfectly when she’s done. From start to finish, pre-check to walking out after the final fitting, Ashley will get you there and you’ll love the result. She absolutely knows her stuff. High praises to the whole staff 🤍

My husband has been going to Dr. Birmingham for years and recommended him to me every year,but I always settled for the 'cheaper' box stores. I finally listened, made an appointment, and am so very glad I did. Everyone was absolutely professional, competent, and friendly. And I feel - at last - my eyesight is in good hands. I could not be happier with my experience.
