I've lived in Tampa for 25 years and I've been to a half dozen optometrists over the years . For the last 7 years Visionary has been the optometry home for myself and my family. You will not find a more welcoming staff, a more elegant office, or a more adorable English Bulldog mascot (Nelly) . Both Dr. Cook(s) go above and beyond to provide the most thorough eye exams I have ever had in my life, but they also explain the results and go through the imaging with you so you have a more informed understanding of your vision health. Not to mention that their patients receive a spa like experience with fabulous massage chairs in the lobby, a selection of complimentary speciality coffees, and excellent service from when you walk in to when you leave. I actually look forward to my appointments. Give them try. I promise you will thank me later! read more

This company is exceptional! The service from the doctors to the front staff to the amazing selection of high-quality classy eyeglasses are phenomenal! read more

To start they are a "safe" site. Mask wearing protecting staff and clients. Frame cleaning extraordinaire and absolutely friendly, competent professionals on all levels. For me, the strength of anyone's reputation is their ability to garner accolades but also when individually and as a business they can admit errors and offer solutions. Visionary Eye Care did both. I am very impressed with their integrity. Not often found! They will have my eye care business from now on. My optician was Timothy. Easy to talk to and professional as expected. A good human being. I also need to give a shout out to Reagan. She was there for the assist. And because I don't recall the name of the other optician that sits across from Timothy, but she has always been gracious and of service. It's a full service, friendly professional eyewear business that deserves support. They have mine! read more

The eye exam I recently got here was extremely comprehensive. No more puffs in your eyes no more trying to put the light up close to your pupils this was incredibly automated and gave the doctor a full you'll forgive the pun Birdseye view of the eyeball inside and out. After the exam the doctor sat down with me and went through everything from my capillaries to my iris to the pressure in my eyes to the strength and stamina of my cones and rods and you know what I mean! The office is beautiful they have with a tremendous amount of high end eyeglass frames. The staff was accommodating friendly and very caring I highly recommend this This business for a full comprehensive I examination. read more

So as we continue the saga of finding really good doctors in Tampa, I happened to stumble upon Doctor Jennifer Cook. I've gone to an optical outlet store, like LensCrafters or some other chain, but I really wanted a professional to look at my eyes and make sure that there was nothing wrong. Finding the place was pretty easy as it's right next door to the Dollar Tree store in Lutz. Extremely convenient and of course lots of parking. So I go in and it looks like a salon or part of someone's home . I absolutely loved it! It felt very personable like you are welcomed in somebody's home as the staff came and greeted you at the door. Now mind you, I read all the reviews about Dr. Cook and I loved what I read. I have been waiting 3 months to see her and I must say it was not only worth the wait but worth every penny! So they bring me through the process of signing the papers for HIPAA, brought me into examine my eyes and take the normal test for glaucoma, and then I only had to wait about 10 minutes to see the doctor. While I was waiting, this beautiful dog named Bosco came to greet me! What an adorable english bulldog and only 10 months old. I got to pet him and see him spring into action. There was a playroom for kids and Bosco came out of the playroom on a little scooter! OMG! I just couldn't help but laugh. The office also had massage chairs in case you didn't want to sit in the traditional chair. There was also coffee, soda and water available as well. So I went in to see Dr Cook and we discussed all my concerns and what I was looking for in both a pair of glasses and contacts. She was extremely thorough and explained everything to me in detail. She was very personable and funny too! Bosco even got to join us as well. So again if you're really considering going to see a great professional optometrist she would be it. You will never find me going to an outlet like America's Best or LensCrafters to get my eyes checked out again. She also takes most Vision plans like VSP but I would call ahead and ask her staff to make sure that you are covered. It's definitely worth seeing her and worth the wait. read more

See all

I had found Visionary Eye Care through doing extensive Googling as a new Florida resident. I was certainly not disappointed. The office has a wow factor when you walk in. It is immaculate, bright, and airy. The staff was incredibly friendly and made sure I felt welcomed. I had the pleasure of meeting both Doctors who are amazing. I was given an explanation of everything that was going on during my visit as well an education. I fell very taken care of. I also loved how creative the staff was when it came time to pick out my frames. They have a high quality selection to choose from. Fun thing is I ended up with a pair of sunglasses with clear frames and I couldn't be any happier with how they turned out. This wouldn't be a complete review unless I mentioned that there is an incredibly adorable bull dog in the office. I 100% recommend Visionary Eye Care. read more

Great place, nice staff but I'm a little disappointment with the cleanliness of their equipment. I went in for an exam and by evening time I had an infection in my eye due to the dirty equipment. In a pandemic this is 100% unacceptable. read more

I had an appointment with Dr Brady Cook on Friday 10/4 for an eye exam. She was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions. She helped me realize that my current prescription was too strong for me, and that a variable progressive with an anti fatigue lens should help ease my migraines that are caused by the eye strain. I'm very happy with her and her office staff, and I will be returning next week to select my frames and order my glasses. Highly recommend, and Boscoe the office bulldog is always a joy to see. read more

If you are looking for an optometrist, go to Dr. Brady. She is fantastic... knowledgeable, competent, thorough and down to earth. Great staff, up to date technology, fabulous selection of glasses, and all in a truly beautiful setting. Seriously, the office is gorgeous! It looks more like a spa or art gallery than an eye doctor. Highly recommend. read more

Chelsea was super helpful at the front desk, and was a friendly representative of the practice. Great care as usual!

I was looking for a new optometrist because I got fed up with my previous doctor's staff. I will look no further - Visionary is fabulous! Beautiful office, personal service by the staff, nice perks like massage chairs and beverages, and visits from Joe! Dr. Brady Cook is very knowledgeable, friendly, down to earth and highly competent (not to mention hilarious!). She took a lot of time to address my concerns and try different approaches to my tricky prescription, which was incredibly appreciated. Highly, highly recommend Dr. Brady Cook and her Visionary staff! read more

I have been seeing Dr Brady Cook now for 4 years at Visionary Eye Care. I have been extremely pleased at each of my visits. She is very thorough and her equipment is all top notch. I always feel that I have had a personalized experience. Everything is explained step by step. The staff are great at helping me pick new glasses. I could not ask for better. I will continue to use Visionary Eye Care for my eye care needs. read more

Best eye care center in town. The Dr makes you feel like family. Anybody needing to get there eyes checked should give them a call

Tried making appointments after being a patient here for multiple years and was told my insurance wasn't coming up as a billable plan which I know is a mistake on their end and when I tried explaining this to them they got defensive. When I said if you can't fix this I will take my son elsewhere they said fine go and hung up. If this is how you treat returning customers that's really bad customer service! To say I am extremely disappointed in this office is an understatement. Would have gave zero stars if I could read more

My whole family (me, Mom, Dad, brother) all go to Visionary Eye Care for our eye care needs as well as when we want to buy glasses/sunglasses. Dr. Cook is excellent at her job, and I wouldn't want to go to anyone else. The selection of both frames and lenses for glasses are superb as well, and easily outclass any other place I can think of in terms of both quality and variety. read more

This place Is the best place ever! Friendly staff, quick and professional. Very effective screening . I'm so glad I didn't go to the kuffman eye ! Thank you ladies for all your help and understanding the urgency for vision! read more

Visionary Eye Care - Very elegant ! Sitting in a spa chair! - Optometrists Near Me - Lutz, Florida

As soon as I walked in the door I realized I wasn't seeing your typical optometrist. I was checked in immediately, offered a drink and to wait in one of the massage chairs. I chose to visit with the bulldog. I was brought to the pre-exam room within minutes for the usual, but it was anything but. The state-of-the-art equipment was impressive. By the time I hung my purse (on a purse hook no less) and sat down, Dr. Brady Cook was in the room. She was funny, straight forward and provided the most thorough eye exam I've ever had. Not only did she take the time to address every question she offered various suggestions and options. Choosing my glasses was another highlight of the visit. Options I didn't know where available for lenses where explained and wound up saving me money. I highly recommend Visionary Eye Care to anyone in need of an eye exam, glasses or contacts. It was truly a unique and pleasant experience. read more

Dr. Brady saved my eyes. After suffering for four months with viral infections, Dr. Brady was able to break the cycle. My eyes are great now! read more

Have been a patient of Dr. Brady and her outstanding professional team for many years. Today, after my visit, I decided that it was time to write this review, not only to let everyone be aware of this outstanding optical business, but to thank them for working so hard for their patients. Kim personally spent no less than 90 minutes working with me to select two pair of glasses, then worked and reworked my insurance benefits, to ensure that I was getting the most for my insurance coverage. In today's world, this type of Professional customer service is UNHEARD of!! So A great Big thank you to Dr. Brady, Kim and all the staff at Visionary Eye Care! Oh, and a special shout out to Mr. Joseph, and his ever so elegant tie. Where else can you go and get love from a charming Bull dog?? read more

When I started vision therapy I had problems with reading comprehension and staying focused. I was not enjoying reading books because I was not paying attention of what I was reading. Now I enjoy a good book, I stay focused and concentrated in what I'm reading. I just wanted Dr. Michael Cook and his staff to know how appreciative I am for all their help and support. Your commitment, and professionalism are just outstanding. Thanks a lot for everything, I will never forget... read more

I had the pleasure to find Dr Michael Cook. He has an enourmous patient. He worked with my poor vision and difficult to fit eyes for as long as it took to fit my contacts. I went to him as my last hope. I haven't found a brand of contacts that are comfortable and allow me to see clear., and believe me, I had been trying for at least 20 years to get rid of my glasses, or at least not to wear them full time. I found out Dr Cook was a provider for Wave lenses and went to him. I believe he really enjoys his work and is not afraid of a challenge. The staff is really good, never came across anyone rude. Crystal is the best. She is always there to answer any question and she is an expert when it comes to insurance. read more

I, and my family, have been patients of Dr. Brady Cook's for many years. We value the expert eye-care Dr. Brady Cook and her Staff provide (so much so that we drive from South Tampa to see her!). Visionary Eye Care has the latest in optometry technology. Additionally, their offices are beautifully-decorated and offer many comforts for patients. If you are looking for a trusted professional to address your family's vision needs - look no further than Dr. Brady Cook and Staff at Visionary Eye Care. read more

Back again this year for my annual eye exam. Still great. 5 Stars all the way.

A few years ago, I went to Dr Cook for the first time... and after having been to many different eye doctors for the last 25 years, she is the first one to have ever diagnosed me with a condition that could have been treated with therapy earlier in childhood. Because she takes the time and cares. It's a refreshing change of pace than a ton of people in a waiting room. Not to mention, I have never received more compliments on my glasses! They have a great selection in the store. Highly recommend! read more

I agree with other reviewers about the lack of customer service. I ended up with a contact lens prescription that I can't use because they wouldn't work with me to find the right lenses. I spent a lot of money here because I had an exam and both of my kids did as well. I also purchased glasses for my son. They still couldn't take the time to help me find the right lens prescription. read more

The staff and Dr. Brady are the most courteous and professional in the area. If I could I would give this office five stars.

I've been seeing the same optometrist for nearly 16 years but felt it was time for a change (for various reasons). After a lengthy search for something better and for someone with more expertise for what I needed, I found Visionary Eye Care. I'm SO glad I did!!! From scheduling the appointment to a follow up call on my part, the whole experience has been a dream. I was warmly greeted immediately upon entering and offered a drink, more than once. My exam was extremely thorough. All the rooms are very clean and the staff is super friendly. I sat in a massage chair while I waited to see Dr. Cook. I have a small purse dog that I generally take anywhere I can but chose to leave her at home. I was thrilled to learn that I could have brought her because Joseph, the resident Bulldog, is on site as well. Its always wonderful to get to interact with animals so having him there was a treat. Dr. Cook was very thorough in her explanations, wasn't the least bit rushed and was very patient as we found the right combination of lenses for my new multifocal contacts. I new this was what I wanted and didn't want to trust just anyone. I needed someone with more expertise and she was it! I highly recommend Dr. Cook and Visionary Eye Care to anyone whether you need a routine eye exam or progressive eye wear! read more

Great professional eye care service. Staff was helpful in explaining the different tests they performed. Dr. Cook was on time, and kept the examination schedule and recommendations for eye care and issues with peripheral vision and other age impacted issues to eyesight was very helpful. Dog was helpful too. The choices in frames, prescription lenses and prices were very helpful in narrowing down the choices and completing my order in a timely manner. Keep up the excellent work. read more

The doctor and staff are great. The office staff are always so helpful and friendly. Being a transplant from the north east I have found it sometimes challenging to find the same exact care or better since I moved. Dr Brady Cook care meet my expectations - I feel very confident that I meet the right choice for my new doctor since I moved to FL. I would recommend her and her office to anyone looking in the area. She really is great read more

After moving back to Tampa from the woods up north I needed to find an Optometrist that was people friendly, knowledgeable and caring. After researching the net I decided on Dr. Cook at Visionary Eye Care. Home Run! Totally exceeded my expectations in every category. After the most comprehensive eye exam I have ever had. I learned more in an hour and a half than the Dr.'s up north could tell me in ten years. I finally have hope. I may have lost vision without this visit, plus I finally have an explanation for the pain and discomfort. The explanation alone gives me more peace of mind than I could ever tell. Compliments to the staff also. Megan Smith is terrific. Very caring, a great listener and very knowledgeable. As soon as you walk in the door you will feel welcome. Welcome combined with high tech equipment, highly skilled Dr.s and a caring staff knocks this place out of the park. I recommend this Dr.highly....... read more

I take my mother (81) to see Dr. Brady Cook. They are always so patient with her. I would recommend this office highly!

Dr. Brady Cook & her staff are awesome. I truly enjoy coming into the office every time for an appointment. They make you feel welcome and the selection of frames is awesome! read more

I followed Dr. Brady Cook when she started her own practice and I'm glad that I did. During a recent exam, I was alerted to a potential serious eye problem, given a referral to a specialist and was told to call back for help if I couldn't get in right away. My eye was operated on and all is well thanks to Visionary Eye Care! read more

I had a very positive experience with Visionary Eye Care. I had problems with my prescription (from another doctor) and Visionary was very understanding and remade my glasses several times. I want to recognize Kimberly for her great service. I would recommend Visionary without hesitation. read more

Is it weird that I actually really ENJOY going to see the eye doctor!? I have been seeing Dr. Brady Cook for as long as I can remember and she always spends a lot of time answering my questions and giving me a very comprehensive exam. They have the best and latest technology, a great assortment of products, and the friendliest staff (even the 4 legged ones)! read more

I love this place! Dr. Brady Cook was amazing! Everyone was so kind and very helpful. I got in right away without waiting for more than a few minutes. I needed to have my eyes dilated but I couldn't wait to have it done at that time. Rather than having me make another appointment, they let me come back later in the day when it was convenient for me! I'm pretty sure no other office would have been so accommodating! read more

I have been a patient of Dr Brady for many years as well. I have nothing but positive praise for her, Dr Cook and all of her wonderful staff. Now that I have my two girls, I have trusted her with their eyes since they could start reading an eye chart! We all give two thumbs up - trust me you wont be disappointed! Much better quality than any cookie cutter eyeglass place!! read more
