Marion Eye Centers

Dr Christine Begley is a wonderful optometrist!!! I trust her with the care of my aging eyes and know she is on top of all the things!!! The staff that helps you choose and order glasses is kind and patient! I’m so thankful to have this option for quality eye care!!!

Not great so far. Called the Murphysboro office months ago to make appointments for my two 3 year olds. I go in the day of the appointment to find out that they scheduled it at Carbondale’s location because this one doesn’t allow two family members to have an appointment on the same day. So I then rushed to Carbondale to do the appointments. Just to find out that they were going to do dilation that would make them blurry all day. Was never told that and I wouldn’t assume 3 year olds needed that. So I had to reschedule. Carbondale office said that they have to do my kids separately. I asked to do them together again and they said no. I said in that case, can I just do the Murphysboro office since I live closer to there. They said go ahead and call them. I called Murphysboro’s office and they made the appointments for the same day again in Summer. I had to ASK where it would be, and once again it was the Carbondale office. STOP scheduling people at different offices that they DID NOT call without telling them! How would they know!? I just had to reload and unload my kids multiple times because the communication here did not exist.

Out of all the Locations, this one is by far the best one! The staff here are so sweet, respectful, reliable, and professional! The Doctors here are great with people but over all great with kids. Very patient and sweet to my youngens! I have to also give a shout out to Lenzie Croft in optical! She is such a sweet heart and caring for people’s needs. I have been struggling to get my sons specific frames he needs and she has called and called about them until they fixed the issue. She doesn’t know me from Adam but she cares about my kids eye sight and that speaks volumes of the person she is. Thank you Lenzie! If you have kids I definitely recommend coming here if able to make the drive!

I had a disappointing experience at Marion Eye Center in Carbondale today. After correcting the pronunciation of my name, the interaction with a doctor’s assistant became unnecessarily unpleasant and unprofessional. Patients deserve to be treated with respect, and that includes respecting their names. I hope the office takes patient experience and professionalism seriously moving forward.

Dry. Tyhurst is just the best person to let you know anything about your eye health. He takes the time to show you pictures of your eyes and carefully and thoughtfully teaches you about the eyes and preventative applications. The eye glasses technician was absolutely outstanding and knowledgeable and friendly and helped me pick out an excellent pair of glasses. The front desk staff is above and beyond!!
