The folks in the optical dispensary are okay, but the optometrist (Dr. Robert Horner) was horrible to me. He was rude to me and to the VSP customer service representatives when trying to confirm my insurance coverage. He was very belligerent and kept cutting us off, acting as though he was unquestionably right. Additionally, he was completely un-accommodating of my medical condition when acquiring readings for ocular pressure and such and kept rudely telling me to sit still. I felt rushed through my entire exam, and my concerns were not adequately addressed. Because of this experience, I absolutely do not recommend this provider. When I picked up my prescription glasses, I immediately noticed they were incorrect. I could feel the eyestrain right away and felt nausea in my stomach. I expect a slight change from one year to the next, but I have a gut feeling this prescription is grossly inaccurate. Even after wearing corrective lenses for 15+ years, the optician told me I have to deal with it for two weeks before the doctor will see me again. That is simply not right. I KNOW what glasses should feel like, and this is NOT it. I highly recommend that if this is your experience as well, please contact your insurance provider to file a grievance and to see about getting a second opinion.

I do not like to give poor reviews, and this is about the Dr. Not the staff up front. I have NEVER walked into an office and been told that I cant schedule an appointment. There's something off about this Dr here and I can see by other reviews that im not the only one who has had a poor experience. Im pretty sure hes the same Dr who did my exam here in 2020, and he asked me why I was there and I just thought it was odd that he was questioning me needing an eye exam. I cant see..... thats why I need glasses? Lol. Anyways, he was super unprofessional again just a few weeks ago and im surprised hes still practicing here. I just dont get a good feeling from him and it shouldnt be that way. Won't be returning.
This is about the OPTOMETRIST at this location. This guy is terrible. Absolutely no "bedside manner." Dismisses everything you say, his speech style is like he's reading a radio script. He rushes the entire exam and is condescending. And it wasn't just with me. I had to go back for a re-exam because he screwed up the first one and somebody was ahead of me, and he was soooo condescending to that older gentleman that I got up and left. I'm going to pay for a re-exam elsewhere. Now, the ladies at the vision center itself are great. No problems with them at all.
Absolutely LOVE the service and genuine care I feel at this Walmart Vision Center! Lisa is such a wonderful person, excellent and superb service from her every time. I'm always happy when I go in and have her to help me. She helped me navigate my insurance for both glasses and a year of contacts. I was so so happy with her service that I also bought a pair of sunglasses!!! All the employees at this Walmart Vision Center are fantastic. Highly Recommended for service and value! Thank you sooo much!!!
First class service. Lisa Stewart is absolutely exceptional. Ellie went above and beyond. Sonja is amazing. A friend recommended Vista Knoll Optical, after my doctor retired. Not only is their pricing the best (compared to 2 other franchises and 1 private), I did the research. Nikon is #1 in optical precision, lightweight high-index lenses, and excellence in premium anti-reflective coatings. Superior Product + Amazing Price = Thank You! I’m so happy I was referred to this location!
