    Quite pleased with the exam. Selection of frames was great. Glasses arrived quickly. Will not hesitate to go back.

    Had great service at Bards. The Doctors are very kind and they answer your questions if the patient would ask them.

    I can't find much of anything to complain about. A great experience all-around!…read more First, the whole process was easy. After the initial paperwork, I was immediately taken in for eye tests and then promptly seen by the doctor (Dr. Ronald Suarez, OD - who was absolutely awesome!). Out of all my years of annual eye exams, this exam was definitely the most efficient; quick yet thorough. They did not have the brand of contact I have been using for years in my new prescription's strength, so Dr. Suarez gave me a trial of a new brand to try. The new brand he gave was still slightly off on the exact prescription, so he gave me a sample pair in the strength closest to my prescription, and will give me a new sample pair after the ones for my prescription come in. (Long story short, he basically gave me two pairs of contacts to try for free with the exam). I usually take the prescription from my eye exam and buy my contacts online. However, All About Eyes had about the same price for contacts as the cheapest place I could find online (and without all the hassles of coupons and mail-in rebates). So I simply bought my contacts in-store. Plus, with the sample contact lenses they gave me, it allows me to try the new brand of contacts before opening the actual box of contacts I purchased (free exchanges for unopened boxes of contacts; no questions asked). I was then seen by Tallie W., who handled all the insurance info. She was also very courteous and helpful. Dr. Ronald Suarez and Tallie W. were great from start to finish. Overall, I was really impressed with this place. I will definitely be coming back to All About Eyes for my next annual eye exam and to order contacts.

    Well, originally my first appointment I was only 6 minutes late (issues at work) so they cancelled…read moreme and forced me to reschedule. Everything was fine when I came back for the appointment and through the appointment but after they got my orders in for glasses and sunglasses they apparently were made incorrectly because when I tried them it definitely wasn't my prescription as everything was blurry. The girl I talked to about it looked over paperwork and confirmed something was wrong so they had to remake them. This was like two weeks ago and haven't heard anything back from them since. Trying to give them the patience they didn't give me when I was 6 minutes late on my first appointment. Going to bring going in soon and if they are still not I'm going to just ask for my $400 back.

    During my senior year of high school I switched from glasses to contacts. I went to Dr. Brtva's…read morePeoria office, got an exam and purchased a year long supply of two-week lenses. This one year supply of two-week lenses ran out last week, 6 and a half years after my original visit. Not being able to recall any negative memories from my first trip, I went back to Dr. Brtva to get an updated prescription, this time for both contacts and glasses. Overall, I'd have to say they do a pretty good job. I had no problem setting up an appointment over the phone. They even pointed me towards a form on their website I could print out and fill out in order to save some time when I got there. I did and it did. The wait wasn't too bad. I had a 2 pm appointment and they called me in at about 2:10. I consider this an acceptable wait for a Dr's office. They start with a preliminary check. One of the assistants will take you into a room and get some basic stuff out of the way. I was asked a few simple questions, read a few lines from a projection, and took the color blind test. When I went into the room, I still had my contacts in and they were kind enough to give me a case and a little bit of solution --no charge-- so I could pop them out before testing. They encourage you to get your eyes dilated so they can do one more test. However, I declined when they told me it would cost $20 extra. After that, it was back to they waiting room for 10 more minutes. Again, I can accept that type of wait. Eventually I was called back by the doctor; after reviewing Dr. Brtva's website, I can confidently say that it was Dr. Christopher Wetzler. I have nothing but good things to say about him. He was friendly and capable. When he was done he asked if I had any questions at all. I didn't. From there, I was shuttled to the contact fitting room. The assistant gave me a contact for each eye based on Dr. Wetzler's findings. I tried them on and they fit perfectly. Dr. Wetzler took one more look to see how they were sitting in my eyes and agreed -- they fit perfectly. Now my only gripe (and it may be outside of their control, but...): I wasn't given my prescription that day. I was told I had to wear the test pair for a week and then come back so they could check them again. I really didn't think this was necessary. They fit perfectly. They felt no different than my old contacts. I asked them to make an exception in my case as I didn't really want to make a second trip; I just wanted to take my prescription and order a few pairs online. No dice. They said they were not allowed to give me my prescription without a follow-up. I guess they had to do what they had to do. I went back last weekend for the follow-up. They still fit perfectly. Shocker. Since I was there I went ahead and ordered 6 months worth of 30 day lenses. If 1 year's worth of 2 week lenses lasted 6 years, I would only need half as many 30 day lenses for the next 6 years. Please note they explicitly told me I should not do this. However, they also told me my eyes are perfectly healthy, so I really fail to see the downside. Final gripe: They had to order my lenses so I couldn't have them that day. I have to go back for a third visit to pick them up. Grrr. My bill was pretty reasonable. $58 for the eyeglasses exam. $70 for the contact's exam (this included the pair of contacts they gave me to test). I don't have eye insurance, so I think this is pretty reasonable. My 6 months order of contacts cost $128. Again, I can't complain -- it seems fair to me. I'm pretty impressed with Dr. Brtva's practice. If my opinion of them changes, I'll let you know in 6 years.
