so I've been coming here for like five years now and I honestly think it keeps getting better every time i forget Ive had to switch my schedule around alot but theyve always managed to fit me in even last minute which is super rare around here the doctor actually takes time to listen instead of rushing you out the door like some places do and my contacts always shipping on time no issues last visit I was getting new frames and the staff spent like 20 minutes helping me pick between two pairs I couldnt decide on and they never made me feel like I was taking forever definately coming back next year and probably the year after that I never bother looking for anyone else becuase why would I when this just works

My son has been seen by both Dr. Shem and Dr. Phifer at Walnut Hill. We’ve like them both! My six year old seemed to click with Dr. Phifer in particular. We also really like the office staff, especially Sierra. My son is really rough on his glasses and has broken many pairs previously. It’s helpful that Walnut Hill carries the kids brand Tomato, which is more durable than typical frames. I find it’s easy to get an appointment quickly at their office, unlike some offices.

Wendy and her assistant were amazing with my non verbal adult. I was so happy they had patience and an early appointment to make it easier for Natasha. She has so many great ways to help test non- verbal patients . Thank you Dana Marie

If they hadn't insisted on a retinal scan, I never would have found out that my right eye had had a stroke (internal bleeding). They are professionals, but yeah, they should always tell you if a service will be out of pocket.

Loved how Dr. Phifer took the time to find a great monovision contact option for me and explained how the glasses to contact prescriptions work. Also appreciated how Maureen heard me and showed me the right frames for the look and price range I was comfortable with. Wonderful optometrist practice!
