Fantastic clinic! About 4:00 pm on Tuesday I realized that there was something stuck on my eye that I couldn’t move or flush out and it was extremely painful! I called my regular office that I have gone to for many years, and they informed me that they couldn’t see me for two weeks. I explained to them that I felt like it was more of an emergency situation and they wouldn’t budge. I knew I needed to see an eye doctor, and I knew it was late but things that happened to you don’t always happen when we want them. I immediately went to look and see if there was possibly another clinic that would take me in. I called here first, and instead of being met with a bunch of pushing back the front office asked me a few questions about what was going on i.e. triage put me on hold for not even a minute and asked if I could make it there by 4:30 which I could although I was out cleaning Horse pens so I was a mess, but I jumped in the car and headed in. It turned out It was a pretty good size sticker or seed coat embedded in my eye that wasn’t coming out without the help of numbing drops. The doctor made me feel very comfortable, was friendly and not once did I hear from the office complaints about working extra because of my issue. They have won me over and I highly recommend them because they will take care of you. Thank you so much to the entire clinic and the doctor for staying late. As she put it, if I had waited two weeks, it just would’ve festered badly because it left a good size tract where it was embedded. She gave me a hard copy of my antibiotics in case I needed to shop around, which I didn’t,, I am happy to report that things are on the mend.

Our special needs adult daughter was born prematurely and with the cord around her neck causing cerebral palsy, intellectual disability and some others things but this also negatively affected her eyes. We went to see Dr. Vela at Gainesville Eye Care and he was so absolutely kind and patient with her! In fact the whole office was good to her! He spoke directly to her and took his time. I know we don’t like to talk about discrimination, but Angel has faced some really rude & just plain mean people…so when an office goes out their way to meet her where she is at….we appreciate that and would like the community to know!!!!!
New to Texas and so pleased I visited this eye care center. The premises were welcoming, clean and staff so pleasant. The vision testing was thorough, doctor very professional and personable. The atmosphere is relaxing ~ glad to be a new patient
Gainesville Eye Care was able to fit me in while experiencing a semi-emergency. The office staff was wonderful, and I'm very impressed with Doctor Warren. He is treating my issues, and will be my new Optometrist since I recently moved to the area.
We were in a crunch because my grandson failed his eye exam at DPS and we only had a limited time to get his eyes checked and glasses made and get back over there that day. And they made it happen. Fast and very friendly staff. Thank you Dr. Casey and Staff for everything.
