Reason for visit is cause I had a metal shard get in my eye cause I was doing some custom work to car, I was having issues with seeing, came to Dr. Carol Johnston office and spent not even 1min with her working on me and then she said done, I was like what you mean your done!! she removed the shard, rust, and gave anti drops and made me feel comfortable the whole time which by the way I was freaking out cause the ER put a needle in my eye so had a bad taste for it, which she didn't by the way, she has skills. Barely felt anything at all. I would absolutely refer and return back if needed. Thanks again.

It was initially recommended to me by several other hospital staff members that I work with who were in agreement that it was far above average, and they were right. I found the team at CVC to be friendly, professional and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The wait has been short and the atmosphere very pleasant and immaculate. But most of all, Dr Christensen is amazing!! Definitely the best! -- kind, knowledgeable, thorough and explains it all explicitly. Overall, my visits here have been an exceedingly positive experience but above all, I know my eyes are getting the best care, and good health including vision ranks high on my list of needs :)

I normally see Dr. John (Desmone), but I've also seen Dr. Barbara (Desmone) over the years when he was unavailable. I have high intraocular pressure, which means I'm at risk of getting glaucoma. Everyone who works here is so kind about my nervousness with eye exams. Additionally, both doctors never rush me and always answer the many questions I have! Their optical technology equipment is modern and provides excellent testing to establish a history of your eye health. I used to drive 2 hours to see my previous eye care doctor because of bad experiences with others in the area. When I found DFEC in 2020, I was relieved and happy to be fortunate enough to receive excellent eye care, with the focus on the word "care"!

I watched Dr. Taylor put in the prescription right then and there which was also fantastic, don't remember the last time I saw a doctor put everything in instead of an assistant. Dr. Taylor was extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions and was very patient with us. Turns out my daughter has the unusual and rare anisometropia that will need correction but ultimately he left it up to us for when why. Anywhere else would have immediately put her in glasses and charged an arm and a leg for the insane prescription she needs. Can begin to say how much I appreciate being in charge of our care and wallet. They were fantastic enough to do both me and my daughter's appointment at exactly the same time. And I don't mean I did mine and she followed behind me. We were together for the entire appointment, PERFECT for a kid's first appointment or in our case someone who struggles speaking to strangers. Which actually wasn't a problem, partially because I was there and she was able to watch me and partially because of how great the staff was. They really were so great with her that I know that she won't need me with her but has the option of she wants me. They helped up maximize our insurance benefits which is one of the most important things. They didn't just max everything out they helped us get what we need and use all of our benefit, our out of pocket costs were negligible. I prefer contacts but I need prescription sunglasses for those days I don't wear contacts. Previous providers have just put in orders for contacts not even asking what I want and I walk out $600 lighter and ALWAYS have many contacts left over that what am I supposed to do with?? I was never allowed to just order a box or two, or more accurately I probably was the office just never let me because why would they? Jacksonville Visions Center however let me, I felt like I could actually ask questions and had control over what was happening. Dr. Taylor wrote the prescription for whatever I needed for a year but they are allowing me to order a few boxes at a time so I don't end up with a stock pile of contacts I don't need and don't know what to do with. I cannot rave enough at how patient, knowledgeable and helpful they were with helping my indecisive daughter pick her first pair of glasses. It is a very big decision and they were so AMAZING. I cannot remember her name ((I'll update when I do)) was so great. She put so much attention into making sure the glasses fit her face and complimented her. She was more than happy to collect all 59 pairs and let her keep trying them on. She had a great system for narrowing them down, let her walk around the store and hang out with them while I was searching so she could get a feel for them. It took a bit of time and effort but she found the perfect glasses and she is so happy with them. I believe she's had them 4 months now and she's not complained once, except of course she needs them tightened again and we know we just gotta head in to the office (today hopefully) and they'll get her situated. We REALLY love Jacksonville Vision Center. The only complaint I have is not knowing they existed before! We wasted so much time and energy with EyeCare center just to talk to a tv screen. My whole family has switched and we couldn't be happier. I am certain you will not regret seeing Dr. Taylor.
