I went to the doctor here for a checkup 1 1/2 years ago, They found an issue with my lens and reccommended my seeing a specialist. 2 opinions in Chicago later, they were absolutely right and I had surgery to repair the damage. 6 months ago I went in for another exam as my vision was getting blurry since the surgery and they found an enlarged artery (they have a much better name than that for it) and, of course, I got 2 opinions and am now getting monthly injections in my eye in Chicago. That's twice they literally saved my vision. On top of that, they are very professional choosing the right lens for me. read more

Love it! Best eye care in town! All the workers are super nice and accommodating! The eyewear selection is amazing also

I had an issue that required an immediate appointment to evaluate my situation and rule out a more serious issue. The office got me rite in and diagnosed my problem and relieved some of my anxiety! The staff is very professional and exceptionally friendly. I highly reccomend this office, you won't be dissapointed. I would not go anywhere else for my eye care !!!! read more

Top notch full service eye care. Dr. Grove does a great job taking her time going through her exam. My prescription based off her exam is always spot on. Solid selection of frames and they do a nice job ensuring you are able to take full advantage of your insurance benefits if you have insurance. read more

I generally find eye doctor appointments to be tedious and confusing. (Which of these lenses is better, option 1 or option 2? I don't know! Can you see that? I don't know! Does my insurance cover this? We don't know!) In other words, I don't typically leave an eye doctor appointment in a good mood. Not so with 21 North Eyecare. This place is fantastic. The staff are incredibly helpful and attentive, and Dr. Grove was positively a delight. She strikes the perfect balance between being incredibly knowledgeable about her field but also incredibly good at explaining complex concepts to a lay person. I left the appointment feeling more informed than I've ever been about how eyes work. Who knew they were so interesting?!?! On top of that, I had several questions and concerns that Dr. Grove and her staff addressed thoroughly and thoughtfully. The office space itself is also quite lovely. Everything was clean and looked practically brand new. All in all, while I still can't tell the difference between option 1 and option 2, I had a positively delightful experience at 21 North Eyecare and will be quick to recommend it to others. read more

I took my 89-year-0ld father to this eye care center after he was complaining of not being able to read the newspaper any more. First, I was pleased that I was able to get him in the day I called, since all the other places were scheduling 5 weeks out. I'm assuming there must have been a cancellation. Anyway, the office is quaint & everyone I came in contact with was warm & inviting. However, it was the doctor (Dr. Alabama) that impressed me the most. I did not go back with my daddy for his eye exam; however, the Dr. came out & explained everything in great detail. He told me that his actual prescription had changed very little. He attributed his vision challenges to a couple of different issues, neither correctable with new glasses. It was extremely refreshing for my father & myself to have a doctor that could have easily milked us & had my dad get new glasses, but instead we ended up buying some just super bright light bulbs. Now, not only can my dad read the paper again, he has a renewed faith in humanity. I sure didn't expect that when we headed for the eye doctors that day! Anyway, I am compelled to share about this doctor & this place. I am not local or else I would undoubtedly be a patient for sure! read more

I started taking my daughter here for eye exams because she was recommended as a good pediatric eye dr. She was SO great with my daughter. She made her comfortable and took her time. I liked it so much I am switching eye drs this year! They have a great eye glass selection as well. It is a quiet office and the wait is never long. Highly recommended. read more

Don't go here. First off, even with your insurance, you have to pick your glasses out of this tiny room with ugly cheap glasses instead of all the glasses displayed when you walk in. Second, even with your appointment, you still have to wait a very long time. Then, I wanted the same brand of contacts I previously had, but she recommended this cheaper brand that was "just the same" which then I got an eye infection from, which was an even bigger hassle to get that taken care of. Then, she got my prescription wrong like 3 times. We waited weeks for a call to tell us they were in. When we finally went in person, the post man "just brought them in." Would not recommend. read more

After years of 20/20 vision I found myself using "cheaters" over the past few months. I had my eyes tested at 21 North Eyecare and found that my deteriorating eyesight was within normal range and was age related. I had previously had an expensive prescription for veri-focus glasses filled at a national chain but was unable to wear them. Basic store bought cheaters worked the best, after my evaluation at 21 North Eyecare I was told that if cheaters are working for me to stick with them. No pressure or suggestions for expensive glasses, but I received a truthful and honest explanation of my condition without an high pressure to spend unnecessary money when it was not needed. This is what I want in a professional service provider, I would highly recommend 21 Noth Eyecare to everyone for their eye care needs. read more

This was the best experience I have had with an eye appointment. The entire appointment was excellent from the staff to the doctor, to the service I received. I have been to a lot of eye care offices and this one exceeded my expectations. I also love the selection of glasses they have to choose from. I would highly recommend this office! read more

I thought it was great that I could schedule my appointment on line. I received confirmation that my son and I had an appointment and that was the last I heard. I filled out the paperwork on line and brought it with me to my appointment. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist that informed me that we didn't have an appointment. She called back to a woman named Amber who came out looked at the screen and began to argue with me that she talked to me about insurance information and that I cancelled my appointment. I tried to tell her that I never spoke to her and that the cost of the exam would be out of pocket since I don't have vision insurance and never spoke to anyone from the office.The more I debated the more hostile and rude Amber became. Finally I just started to walk out and the receptionist tried to reschedule the appointment. If that was the type of service that this office offered I didn't want any part of it. Maybe it was the simple fact that I would be paying for the treatment on my own rather than having insurance that Amber felt I wasn't deserving of the services offered and cancelled my appointment. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone let alone EVER reschedule an appointment there. read more
