My daughter had the best experience coming here for her first eye exam and pair of glasses. She was very nervous but Emily was very welcoming. She made my daughter feel less anxious and more excited. Dr. Patel was very patient and tried to explain every step to my daughter so that she’d feel comfortable. Emily helped my daughter pick out the cutest pair of pink glasses, which make my girl feel confident and pretty. I also had an eye exam with Dr Patel and I just love how informative he is. He really cares about the health of my eyes which made me feel confident in my decision to change eye doctors. Emily made me feel comfortable right away and she made sure everything went smoothly for my visit. I will continue to sing their praises and recommend this office to everyone I know! Thank you Emily and Dr Patel!!!

Excellent service. The team was professional, prompt, and resolved everything I needed. Highly recommended
Dr. Heimlich and the office team are awesome! Dr. Heimlich was very thorough in explaining my eye test results, listened to my questions and concerns, and genuinely cared about my eye health. He offered some great, practical tips to take my daily eye health routine to the next level, and I'm incorporating them into my routine moving forward. He's also hilarious! The office support team is also very kind and personable; I had a great experience. Thanks!
Hands down the best optometry experience I have had in a long time. The staff were courteous, efficient, and worked with my budget. The doctor was able to assess my eye health and prescription even though I did not have any records from my previous doctors. Lastly when I was diagnosed with a stigmatism and had trouble getting used to my new glasses, the doctor worked with me, lessened the correction, and replaced my glasses with ones that I was able to get used to. Now I see better than ever. I highly recommend Buffalo Grove Eye Care Center!!!
I went to get tested for reading/computer glasses, and the had to go two different times because the first doc went way too fast while testing my eyes. The second time wasn’t much better, always being rushed to make a decision of what you see, and the results were different on the two different testings. The glasses provided to me were progressive which I had no idea they would make you feel like you were on LSD. If you would have explained the effects of that type of glass, I would have not chosen them. Had to bring them back and I was then given another progressive pair of glasses that were similar to the first pair several weeks later, REALLY ?? I just told you how much I didn’t like the first pair. Maybe I should have brought a translator because I made myself very clear what I wanted in the beginning on day one. I then got a third pair weeks later and felt they were just trying to get rid of you like all this was my fault. There are so many Eye Care Centers in this neighborhood (one across the street) as I drive around it, I REALLY regret not going to one of them before I visited your place. To summarize the experience at Buffalo Grove Eye Care Center, I really didn’t expect to have to go there eight different times just to get a pair of reading glasses. I would say there are better places to get your eye care from. The only referral you will be getting from me is a negative one because you have earned your grade. I suggest anyone who wants accurate eye care to go somewhere else.
