Western Carolina Eye Associates

I've been a patient there for a while and my wife is still goes every year for regular check-ups, everyone is very nice especially Dr Davis which is her doctor. They all treat you very courteous and the service they provide is great.

5 thumbs up…..I was on vacation, staying in West Jefferson, when I began having trouble with my eyes….burning, couldn’t keep them open and very sensitive to light. Called one place and described my symptoms and their answer was “we do not take new patients “. Called Western Carolina and the receptionist LISTENED to me and I had an appointment within an hour. The staff was extremely courteous and made the visit very pleasant. Dr. Davis and Ashley were professional and couldn’t seem to do enough for me. I was back in the office the next morning, at Dr. Davis’ insistence, so that she could check my eyes and see that they were improving since I was leaving that day. If “top-shelf” courtesy and professionalism are not your thing, go somewhere else!

I usually do not like to write negative reviews, but I want others who my need eye care to note our experience. My wife had an appointment and from beginning to end it was a negative time for her and for me. The staff was downright unpleasant and rude. They only time I saw any enjoyment by the staff was when they forced patients, who aren't even sick, to wear ridiculous, useless, unsterile and unhygienic masks that all businesses everywhere else do not require. They gave my wife, who was there for another medical reason an unwanted, unwarranted eye exam and was charged for it. There was supposed to be a follow up, but nobody ever called. My wife called twice, and nobody wanted to help. I fully DO NOT recommend this establishment for any eye care because they don't care.

I had my first visit at WCEA today and I could not be more pleased. The previous practice I was going too, I would literally be at my appt for 3 hours. This was always just a yearly check and I have no major issues. I seen Dr Lanier today and she was very helpful and so pleasant! I'm very pleased to know that I have options to try other contacts as I have battled with significant dry eyes for years. I have been told there wasn't any other options for me and they recommended prescription eye drops which were $400. I am excited to say I will be a permanent patient at WCEA.

I've never enjoyed my time getting my eyes checked as much as I have here today. All of my interactions with staff were fantastic. They were courteous, friendly, and helpful. Not only did they listen, they took the time to answer my questions and explain the results of my eye exam in an easy to understand way. By far the best experience I've had for vision and glasses.
