From my first visit I have always been treated by a truly professional caring staff. I had cataract surgery on one eye and needing it done on left eye. Dr Shah found other issues that require other surgery to correct long existing problems. He has guided me through the process. Jenifer and Josie took great care on my surgery experience and it went flawlessly and fast. Erica is the person I have dealt with on my follow up visits and is very kind and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them for all your vision issues. Thanks to your entire staff. Rolla Prickett

So I was in Athens, GA for my Fall Break from school and I needed new contacts BADLY. I knew that…read moremy prescription had expired quite some time ago, so I figured I would need one of those as well. Being the procrastinator that I am (I'm a college student. What can I say?) I took the risk of calling the morning I was leaving town to return to school. I was sure they would tell me that I was going to have to come back to Athens another time, but they didn't! I was so amazed. I went to Thomas Eye Center right away and I wasn't even through filling out the paperwork before they were leading me into the room to start the exam. The people there were so nice to me and didn't make me feel bad about calling at the last second. And they really knew what they were doing! I've been to a lot of optometrists in my day, and no one has ever been has comforting and easy to work with as these guys. Especially the doctor, Dr. Noriko. She was younger, maybe mid twenties, but was obviously very knowledgable and trustworthy. I honestly probably would have let her touch my eyeball if she needed to, I had that much faith in her. And she was calming. Being in any kind of doctor's office makes me a little uneasy, but her voice was really soothing and pleasant to listen to, and she put me right at ease. The doctors there were very efficient. I must have been in and out of there in 45 minutes. Or, at least, I would have been if my father hadn't needed to speak to the lady handling the insurance and money issues. He can be a little wearing when it comes to money, but she was very patient and kind with him, which I admire. Needless to say, I don't think I'll be going anywhere else for my optical necessities. I want to tell everyone I know in the Athens area to go to Thomas Eye Center on Baxter St., and don't forget to ask for Dr. Noriko!!

I chose this clinic after changing insurance and based on strong reviews, but my experience was…read morevery disappointing. At my exam on May 8, I asked whether my prescription had changed and was told it had not. Based on that, I purchased a one-year supply of contact lenses without being given trial lenses. Within days, I experienced persistent migraines and blurred vision in my left eye. After returning on June 15, I was told my left-eye prescription was incorrect and it was adjusted. This confirmed the original lenses I was sold were not correct. I also had to repeatedly follow up to get updates and resolution, and communication throughout the process was inconsistent. When I asked about a refund or replacement for the incorrect lenses, the response was unclear and the issue remains unresolved. Overall, I did not feel the care, accuracy, or follow-through met the standard expected from a vision provider, especially when prescribing and selling a full year of contact lenses.

When she left,…read moreI followed her to her new practice in Cumming, but after a couple of years, she stopped practicing to spend more time with her family and continued on as owner of the Cumming practice with three or four optometrists working for her. As I could no longer get an appointment with Dr. Lawson, I've returned to Athens Family Vision and recently had an appointment with Dr. Patel. She is also an excellent optometrist, and responded very well to a couple of my concerns. She is thorough, knowledgeable, and very kind in her manner. I will continue with her and have encouraged the rest of my family in the Athens area to give her their business.

When I was looking for providers with my Insurance, they came highly recommended and were close to home. The Doctor we saw that day was Dr. Hackleman. He was wonderful. He took his time to go over everything, especially since I was having so much trouble with my current contacts. Upon checking my prescription, it was discovered I had a significant change in one eye that was the culprit of my fuzzy/blurred vision. He offered me several options depending on what my budget would allow for. My other half had his eyes fully examined as well....only to discover he still had perfect 20/15 vision and only I was the one that couldn't see. Kim was extremely professional as she dilated my eyes and performed a few tests. She lightened the mood relaying to me how my hubby did not care for things near or dropped in his eyes....I laughed thinking about him trying to get away from the drops. After it was determined I needed to update my contacts and glasses, Ryan helped us pick some sunglasses out and a set of frames for me. We never felt rushed even though I changed my mind 4 times.
