Had an appointment yesterday. Now, this appointment was made, canceled by me, rescheduled, and then snowed out for a week. Finally got the exam yesterday. The staff was incredibly friendly and kind throughout the process, and kept me fully informed through the weather nonsense. Once I got to the appointment, I came in prepared for a wait, but was almost immediately brought back. The exam was thorough and both the assistant and the doctor were clear about what was happening. The doctor seemed happy to answer my questions, and I felt very heard and understood about my concerns. I wanted a copy of my prescription to order new glasses, but my eyes were dilated during the exam and it was more uncomfortable this time than it had been before, so I was thinking of other things when I left, and forgot to ask for the prescription. I remember the doctor letting the front desk staff know, and them acknowledging it, but they were also trying to close and were taking care of me, and it was forgotten. I called this morning, and the call lasted less than a minute, and my prescription was emailed to me. No problems at all. Overall, very impressed with the entire facility. They seem to be very up-to-date with exam equipment and with any new tech coming out for eye care. It felt well-rounded, and I will likely be going back.

Always a great experience at Midtown Eye Care. Dr. Powelson and his staff are professional and timely. The office is always clean and up to date with latest technology. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you for taking care of me.
Dr. Powelson and the team are amazing. I had been seeing another doctor and had gotten my glasses from another provider and was having problems focusing my vision. I passed by Midtown Eye Care every day, so one day I just stopped in on a whim. The staff members were kind enough to take a look at my lenses and frame and make some adjustments, even though I wasn't one of their patients. I decided to go ahead and make an appointment to have my prescription redone. They were super meticulous and helpful. They have cutting Edge technology and their doctors are highly trained in all the latest techniques. Unfortunately, because my prescription is a little tricky (perfect near vision, horrible far vision, astigmatism, etc.), it took multiple tries to get my progressive lenses just right. Thankfully, they did not get annoyed with my multiple returns for slight tweaks. They offered lots of options, educated me so I could make informed decisions based on my lifestyle, and encouraged experimentation. On the fourth try, I think we finally got everything just right. I can't tell you how grateful I am for Dr. Powelson and the entire staff being so patient, accommodating, and absolutely determined to correct my vision to perfection. I am recommending them to my family and friends, and I plan to make an appointment for my mother very soon. Thanks again!
EXCEPTIONAL!!!!! Customer Service. We were walk-in just inquiring about an appointment. We were seen the same day within 20 minutes of arrival. Friendly, Courteous and Professional staff. Easy forms completion. A wide variety of Eye wear to select from. We’re so grateful we found this Mid-Town Gem located in Memphis TN. Our new Eye Care Family. Ricky & Neffy Cole
Great friendly staff and a thorough eye exam. They are very helpful in choosing new frames.
