I've been seeing Dr. Green at Lawrence Family Vision since I moved back to Lawrence in 2009. Four…read moreyears and two new prescriptions later, I'm still thrilled with the care I receive there. I usually show up a few minutes early for doctor appointments, and I have always been taken in to see Dr. Green right on time. Since I've usually got better things to do than sit in a waiting room (who doesn't?), I really appreciate the staff's promptness in getting my appointment going on schedule and making sure I'm in and out in a timely fashion. Dr. Green is a fantastic doctor and just a really nice person in general. She is always very professional but also very friendly and personable during my visits. She takes the time to explain what she's doing and never minds answering the questions I ask about what the different procedures measure and how they help her take care of my eyes. She's also very patient. You know that test they do where they have the lenses that they flip back and forth, and they say something along the lines of, "Which is better: one or two? Three or four?" I'm always afraid I'm going to get that test wrong, like I'm sitting for an exam and being graded on whether or not I give the right answers. (I totally get that this isn't how the test works, but I'm still always paranoid about it.) Consequently, I end up asking her to flip back and forth a couple of times on each one to make sure I'm getting it right. She never acts like I'm anywhere near as ridiculous as I know I am. The clinic also has a really nice selection of frames with lots of lens options, from featherweight scratch-resistant plastics with anti-glare coatings to special solar-activated darkening coatings that turn regular glasses into sunglasses when you're outside. I've never had a problem finding a pair that will both look great on me and fit all my needs. All in all, the staff and Dr. Green have made my visits a really pleasant experience, so much so that I actually look forward to my yearly eye exams with them. Now, if only I could find a dentist that makes me feel the same way!

Parking lot had one customer car in that I could see, but the person on the phone said there were four people ahead of me. Really? you couldn't accommodate one more, or get me in before 30 minutes? You really can't expect customers to put up with this nonsense, especially when many people have had their vaccinations (I have had mine). This is the second time I have had this experience here. I have been coming to LFV for over 20 years, but I am done with being treated like I work for you, rather than the other way around.

Also, unless your wallet allows otherwise, your only 'budget friendly frames' are Tom Ford or Oakley. You may walk out with samples and a coupon, you may also be offered $250 rebate via virtual visa if you order a 12 month supply of disposable contacts, only a total of $700+ out of pocket (if insurance shells out $150) and have 'single vision' no biggie. My bill was $136.20 and I didn't even purchase frames nor contacts, not even offered/given a copy of my updated prescription. I sent an email requesting an itemized receipt as well as the prescription to the address that sent a screenshot of my 6 month supply quote, we'll see if I get a reply. I wish they had a patient portal because the website is too finicky to submit a 'Contact Us' form.

I have not purchased glasses or contacts from him yet, but he has a nice selection of reasonably priced frames and accepts insurance, so unless there is some miracle and I don't have to wear glasses, then I will be patronizing his glasses store soon.

When I asked her doctor's name, it was Dr. Smart. I said, "I know - that is my doctor, too, and I don't blame you." My vision through my glasses are always crip and clear. He get's it right every time. When you get a good one, you stay with them. My hat is off to Dr. Smart of Smart Family Vision!

HOWEVER, when I got to that dermatologist office, they said they didn't have record of me in their system. *Even though I had called and confirmed the appt!!!* I had already waited over two months to get in. They asked if I wanted to make an appt, then saying it would be another month before I could be seen! So, I walked next door to Free State Dermatology and they said they could get me in as early as next week! I was very impressed with Dr. Buxton and his staff. They were so friendly and helpful. Dr. Buxton took the time to listen to me and my concerns and answer all my questions. I never felt rushed or stupid for anything I asked. He explained everything thoroughly. I was, and still am, sooo thankful for him. I felt like I got my life back and wasn't embarrassed to go out anymore because his prescription and regime was spot on and cleared my face up!! I HIGHLY recommend Free State Dermatology for anyone seeking a knowledgeabl and friendly clinician.
