Excellent and kind staff all around! Dr. Montecalvo is obviously very knowledgeable on vision disorders too. Looking forward to getting more support here from the trained and professional staff!
I have been going to Nova Vision for 3 years now. Everyone I come in to contact with is so nice and caring. I have visited with all of the eye doctors at some point and they are all very thorough and knowledgeable. Dr. White and Dr. Jacob are amazing and really care about their patients. My whole family uses Nova Vision. We love them!
Excellent staff and doctors. And they use the latest advanced equipment, so I didnt even need full dilation or the annoying puff of air pressure check. Would highly recommend!
Number 1, Dr. White is the best ever. Not only does she know her stuff, she is also very compassionate and kind.Number 2, while I was out of state, this wonderful office sent me some contact samples to hold me until I got back. Thanks for all you do!
The staff was friendly and helpful. They take their time with you and explain procedures with you. And also my daughter who is extremely hesitant when it comes to procedures, they let her come in with me to see how things are done to ease her mind.
I rarely ever give one star reviews but, unfortunately this situation warrants it. I just recently moved to the area and was looking at which eye doctor had the best reviews, so naturally I made an appointment with Nova Vision Care. It took me over a month and a half to get in for a simple eye exam. I moved past that, because it sometimes takes a while to get new patients in. I finally have my eye appointment and they recommended Neuro Lenses to me (and every other patient in the office.) They claimed it would eliminate my headaches and would be a better alternative for me. Only to find out that they cost anywhere between $600 and $800 dollars out of pocket and are not covered by insurance. So I had to then request a different prescription for my glasses. I was hoping to get progressive lenses (no line bifocals) but they refused to write my prescription for those, rather I had to go with the Neuro lenses or a lined bifocal and those were my only two options. I moved on and said whatever. I left the office and they told me it would be two weeks to receive my glasses. Flash forward 6 entire weeks... and still no glasses. Only to call for the 7,000th time and to hear they failed inspection 10+ times and the lab was having their best technician work on them. It came to week 8 of still no glasses when I finally got them. They told us they would call us the next day to talk about compensation for this ridiculous hassle with their labs... its been another 2 weeks and have still not gotten that phone call regarding compensation. On top of that my glasses are still incorrect. So I have to go back to them to see if they can fix them, or Im out $200 dollars and still dont have glasses. So would I recommend? NO No no… find a better eye doctor, there are a million in the Dayton area and make sure they dont use whatever lab this place uses, because they are equally as bad. Alright rant over, but please heed my warning... this is not a high quality eye doctor office. Needless to say I will no longer be a patient.
Dr. Montecalvo is amazing. She gave my daughter her sight back. No problem is too big or too small for her to tackle. She always has a solution. Appreciate her an her staff so very much.
Great place, good service. 2 year warranty on glasses. Theyre hard to beat.
They were very thorough and kind for my first appointment to get contacts at every step of the way!
Ive had a lot of help from this office, and I like my doctor. But, they canceled my appointment and my daughters appointment with no explanation, they tried to find out why they canceled the appointment and they had no notes listed as to why. I have a strict calendar that I have to keep and getting something like an eye appointment is very difficult. I cant constantly wonder if my doctor is going to cancel my appointment without my knowledge. Getting into this office is harder than its ever been, because in spite of vaccinated people being able to live their lives again that isnt the case in this office. They still schedule everyone far apart and require masks inside the office. If not for that, rescheduling after they made a mistake with our schedule would have been easier, but now I have to schedule more than a month out to make up for their mistake. Im looking for a new optometrist now.EDIT: they reached out and got me back on their calendar within the week.
The Nova staff are so professional yet personable too. The vision therapists are amazing! Highly recommend!
My daughter was referred for vision therapy after a TBI. The doctor found no issues with her eyesight, but referred her for light therapy in their office. The person who administered the first session failed to give instructions and practically blinded my daughter because she was too busy sharing car accident horror stories. The therapy made all symptoms worse, and after doing extensive research we found that the wrong colors and times were used for a therapy that isn’t even proven to help anything. This office took advantage of our family by doing excessive testing, recommending a total sham of a therapy, and by selling us “therapy lens” that are just plain trivex lenses with AR coating. The referring doctor said other patients were never given these therapies or taken advantage of like this and recommended we stop immediately. We are months deep in a long recovery for my daughter and this unethical “doctor” bilked us. Stay away for the safety of your family
Dr White and the team are awesome! Attention to detail, customer service are the best! Thanks for taking care of our family for years!
Technical examinations superb,👀however lack in customer service attention. Need to organize the process so the client is not left unattended. Communication is important to be communicated very well.
Dr Jacobs and her staff were outstanding. Fast efficient. Optical was a different story. I wanted new lenses only and person said my glasses needed to be sent out for 3 weeks. I asked how can I drive without them? I finally said ok I don’t want new lenses. Person finally figured something out so should be ok. Then person repaired screw in other glasses. The lense fell out screw broken in two days. Meaning I have to come back to get fixed. Overall still very happy but optical stuff was a bit off.
From check in to check out, everyone is professional and courteous! The whole team went above and beyond to make my kids (8 and 10) feel at ease. We even got a science lesson from Dr White about what all the numbers mean.
When I mad my appointment I asked if my insurance was in network. The receptionist said it was so I booked the appointment. I waited 4 months as they were booked out. Arrived to my appointment and was made to wait 30minutes and the receptionist said my insurance was not in network. She asked if I wanted to just pay. No I Have insurance. Why lie or not check before when I asked when I booked the appointment ! Receptionist was not empathetic at all. So frustrating now I have to wait again to be seen else where and deal with migraines. Definitely not okay!
Dr. White has been seeing me for over 10 years, and she is the absolute best. She and her team take the time to talk to me and answer my questions. Her care is personable, and you can tell she loves what she does. I am so grateful for her care and determination. Thank you, Dr. White, for taking care of my eye health.
Just got a pair of glasses from Dr. Montecalvo & I have to say the whole experience from start to finish was beyond my expectations.. I can see perfectly now, & that matters a lot to me because all I do for a living is drive 500 miles a night on interstates..Everyone that works at nova vision was extremely nice & professional, and I absolutely want to go back there again for my next pair of glasses.
The entire staff is friendly and welcoming. My doctor took time to answer all my questions and made sure I had an understanding of my diagnosis. If you are in need of purchasing glasses frames or lenses this is the place to go. They do a great job with children as well! I’d recommend this place to anyone!
I see Dr. Montecalvo and she’s amazing. Every time I go I learn something new that’s going to help my eyesight be its best it can be. The staff is very professional and during this pandemic time they’re very hygienic between each patient which is very much appreciated.Also they have an amazing collection of I frames That is updated often.
Dr.Jacobs was very thorough and addressed all my concerns, best eye exam Ive ever had. Betty was patient and informed me of all of my options with eyewear and insurance coverage for certain features. I highly recommend this practice. Everyone was polite and professional.
The staff is attentive and compassionate. Dr. Jacobs was thorough, listened to my questions and shows a genuine concern for her patients. Third year as a patient and very pleased.
Ok, all of the staff were extremely nice and professional. The exam was through and the results were explained to my satisfaction. However I was a little concerned about the prices of eye wear. I realize that vision insurance compensates the buyer but I am a military retiree on a fixed income who cant afford vision insurance. Therefore, I can buy a lot of groceries and a weapon to keep them safe. Eye wear should not cost $500.
Excellent care from Dr. White for our whole family. The staff are all so patient with kids too. Thorough, friendly and nice. Couldnt ask for better care. Thank you.
My primary care physician recommended Dr. White at Nova Vision Care. I was impressed with the attention to detail from Dr. White and her team. Dr. White spent as much time with me as I needed, The exam was very thorough, Dr. White and her team are very personable, and the cost of the exam was reasonable and they took my vision insurance. If you need a new ophthalmologist or are not satisfied with your current one, give Dr. White a call!
We loved our experience at Nova Vision Care! It was our first time there. The dr was very thorough and listened to my concerns. We will definitely be back for our next eye exam. Thank you!
I have always had great experiences at Nova Vision care. My son sees Dr. White and has always enjoyed her. I needed in for an emergency visit and even though I was a new patient they didn’t hesitate. I saw Dr Jacobs and she was fantastic. Everyone is always so polite from the time you walk in the door until you leave. Thank you for all of your kindness and compassion.
I was very impressed with Nova Vision Care. I had an eye exam and selected some frames and the entire appointment only took about 35 minutes. The staff is so friendly and professional. I also appreciated the cleanliness of the office considering the current environment of COVID-19. I felt that the staff was taking the health of their patients very serious. Thanks to Dr. Natalie and Betty who helped with my frames. I can’t wait to get my new glasses!!
Easy to schedule an appointment. Arrived and was taken back to exam in under 2 minutes. Great experience at each step. I will definitely return
The doctors are very thorough, compassionate and personable. Dr. White listen to my concerns and addressed every one of them. The staff is efficient and caring.
Ive been going to Nova Vision Care for almost 4 years now. Office is always prompt, clean, and staff is all very professional. I love that the doctors always offer multiple options for advanced eye care and give me info to make my own decisions on treatment, rather than pressuring me into something I dont want/need. Great selection of frames, and always available when I need an appointment.
Very easy to find very clean and very kept up place the people were very friendly and helpful
Great technology and great folks!
Im near-sighted, and the glasses I got from another optical place were fine for driving but didnt work for things around the house, such as computer work or anything at about arms length away. My step daughter, who works at Nova and likes it there (disclaimer), suggested I give Nova a try. I learned about computer glasses, and I had them make a pair for me. Honestly, I was a little skeptical about whether they would actually work, but I tried them and I love them - good focus and clarity and proper placement of the bifocal line. Nova has a really nice office, and everyone is very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Well worth the drive across town.
Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I felt bad because my mask kept fogging up the machine, but they were very patient and kind and my doctor even helped me with my mask. I feel awful I don’t remember her name. She was very nice and knowledgeable. I’ve had bad eyes for years and she told me more about my eyes than I had ever known. Everywhere else I have been they just have me go the tests, put in my orders, and send me on my way. It was very refreshing having someone sit down and explain everything to me including how my own eyes work haha. I will never go anywhere else and will be bringing my husband here and then my kids should they ever need glasses. This place is amazing!
They got my son in same day appointment. They explained everything in detail to me. Wonderful staff and dr cannot recommend enough! Great place
Weve been patients for years. Professional and thorough. 100% Covid compliant. Strongly recommend.
This is a wonderful business, Betty is an amazing technician, so helpful and warm. I cannot give NOVA enough praise. They have all the latest trends and high end brands in both eyeglasses and sunglasses.Client for life!
Very pleased with the efforts taken to provide a safe and clean environment during COVID-19. They staff were all very helpful and friendly to work with. You won’t regret coming here.
This is the best place I have ever gone to for vision improvement. My eye condition has taken me all over the Dayton area and Columbus to see many Doctors and specialists over the years. Never have I been treated as good as here at Nova Vision. Dr. White especially, pushes me to try new things. To get the most out of what little vision I have. She goes above and beyond what I have incountered Doctors to do. Dr.White is on the cutting edge of technology and diagnosis as well. If you are looking for the best eye Care possible, you have no need to look any further. You have found the right place.
I took my elderly mother there today for an eye issue. Dr. Busch and his staff are exceptional. She had a very thorough exam and very personable service. Highly recommended A+.
Professional, fast and informative. If you just want glasses, then go to Lenscrafters. If you want eye care, then this is the palce and the staff to visit.
Brought our son in for a second opinion and was very pleased with the professionalism of the staff and the care they took with him. We’re very hopeful this office will be able to help our son correct his strabismus with the vision therapy and avoid surgery.
Nova is very professional with caring people. I was helped immediately and am so impressed
The whole office was very friendly and professional. Highly educated and precise. They all took their time and explained thoroughly. I can highly recommend Nova Vision Care.
My first ever eye visit was a great one. When I walked in I was really impressed by the waiting room and the selection of frames. They took me back there maybe two minutes after signing in. The staff was so friendly and Dr Jacobs really took her time with me. I knew my eyes were bad but I didnt know how much I needed my glasses until I put my first pair on from Nova. I am so pleased to call them my primary eye doctor office.
Debbie, the technician was so amazing! She was so friendly, kind, and, reassuring. She is a real asset to that office.
The staff was amazing, my exam was very thorough and not rushed, and the Covid protocol was spot on! Thankful that I chose this practice!
Very polite staff and I got what I was looking for a complete eye exam.
Excellent service! Highly recommend.
Did a nice job w my daughter. Followed pandemic practices well...good hand washing, masks; there was a delay w seeing Dr, staff did a nice job w communicating with use. Erica, Betty, Dr Montecalvo great. Nice explanations w my daughter about how to keep her vision. Thx
They did a great job but it wasnt as kid friendly as I was hoping.
I came here for my yearly eye exam and was so impressed by the customer service! They got me right back and the doctor was so amazing! Staff really helped me with everything!
I actually enjoyed my exam! Great people, all were friendly and kind. They told me when my glasses would be there, and they were ready earlier than they told me! Thanks for all the help!
Dr White is top notch in every way with a great supporting staff. Extremely comprehensive exam...the only doc I will trust with my eyes.
Very professional and patient focused. Tailoring a vision plan for my grandson. We are very impressed.
Excellent professional vision care. Comprehensive medical examination. Highly recommend!
Considering the current circumstances...they were cautious and yet very courteous. Prompt service and very thorough. Already have my next eye appointment set for next year!
My glasses came in sooner than expected. The opticians helping me choose my glasses were exceptionally great! Highly recommend Nova Vision Care.
This place is great. The staff are all super nice and super helpful. The doctors actually took the time to explain in depth what was going on with my eye and reviewed possible remedies. Highly recommend.
Pleasant well-trained personnel and planning made my visit to their facility, especially during the current pandemic, easy to accomplish. Now if they could something about dilation of eyes and the discomfort after the visit.
Highly recommend this office for all eye care. Office staff extremely helpful and friendly! Best experience and best selection of frames!
Was a great experience for the whole family! Was able to help my daughter with vision/learning problems. I HIGHLY recommend Nova Vision to everyone
It’s so wonderful to have an eye exam that is detailed and where they actually care about health of your eyes.
I have never had such a thorough exam and fitting. The staff is very professional and most of all knowledgeable.
I have been coming here 25+ years—all staff courteous and helpful. Dr. Bush is great!
The staff seems a little disorganized. There seem to be consistent problems with their various technologies, and the communication isnt always the best. Currently still sitting in the waiting room 45 minutes after my appointment time. Im a new client and will probably go somewhere else next time.
Ive had trouble getting glasses I could read with. This has been going on for years. Nova Vision Care finally put a prism in my prescription. Now l can read.
Great staff and knowledgable doctors. Best eye exam experience I have had in a lot of years.
My wife and I made first-time appointments with Nova Vision Care a few weeks ago. Our experience was wonderful from start to finish. First, they had openings within a couple of weeks of calling which was a pleasant surprise. When we showed up for our appointments, we were both seen within a few minutes of our scheduled times. After the initial screening, we were immediately seen by the optometrist (Dr. Fisher). My wife was seen first and they actually brought me into the same room and I was seen while they were waiting for my wifes eyes to dialate after putting the drops in. Dr. Fisher and the staff were very friendly and answered every question. We ordered glasses on a Monday and they came in by that Friday. Yesterday, we received a letter in the mail and it was a handwritten thank you note from Dr. Fisher and Nova Vision Care thanking us as well as seeing if there was anything else that we needed until our next exam. Overall, our experience was great and cant say enough about how nice and friendly the staff was. Highly recommended!
First time here for an eye exam. Modern equipment and friendly staff!
Dr. White is my favorite optometrist I have had, period! Excellent with kids of all ages. Highly recommended!
Dr. White does a great job of explaining everything after the exam and the staff is great with helping with any needs or questions you have regarding your glasses. Overall, a great experience.
This is by far the most professional and efficient eye doctor I have ever visited. From your pre visit registration to the friendly welcome, you feel youre in good hands. The exam equipment looks to be state of the art and is explained to you every step of the way. Then if you need glasses, professional opticians are right there with a wide selection of frames and fashions. They take their time and help you make a good choice. Im impressed and of course will return. Highly recommended!
The staff was friendly. Online process for gathering patient information was well thought and efficient. The staff explained all the tests performed during the eye exam. The instruments were latest and well maintained. The Doctor provided great advise on eye health. Overall great service. Just one thing, frame selection is limited.
The facilty is tucked away in a cul-de-sac on Indian Ripple. Id make my appointment before rush hour. When I called to make an appointment the assistant was friendly and informative. She was able to verify my insurance over the phone and quickly made my appointment.Days later I started receiving random text from them about my appointment. Normally, Id get messages a day or two before. This was a week or so before.The are definitely practicing social dustsnxe and require a mask and run a checklist for Coronavirus. They do not take your temperature.They report that they sanitize every room after every client and make clients wash their hands ✋. This is good. However, i was still a little nervous because they do touch your eyes with bare hands in addition to the numerous instruments they put on your eyes. Just to warn those who may not be ready for this type of experience. I did feel reassured about the safety of the procedures.My favorite interaction was with the assistant who sold me the glasses. She was friendly and engaging. I guess you have to be when you have to tell the client about the various co-pays they have to pay that drive the price of the glasses through the roof.Overall, it was a good and quick visit very streamlined.
Great people! Went above and beyond to find glasses that would look decent on my head, which is easier said than done!
We had a good experience until we were recommended for vision therapy. The lady Holly Harlow was horrible to deal with. She could not answer any questions and LIED to us several times. I was also told 3 different times they would be testing for something I requested and then after Nova getting 1500$ worth of visits, tests, and glasses I found out my son was not tested for what we requested. Holly told us that no one was qualified at the facility to do that test. WHY DID YOUR OTHER STAFF SAY YOU ARE? THREE TIMES? She then said she would get to the bottom of what happened and would call me back the next day to follow up. NEVER CALLED. I am so disappointed and we will not be doing the vision therapy now because I dont trust them that we even need it. Holly told me she called my insurance herself and they told her if we paid Nova 5000$ for therapy the insurance will give the money back to us. When I called the insurance they said they never said that and it is not covered at all. I will be getting a second opinion of everything.
Have been going there for vision needs for years. Never disappointed
Nova vision center offered a very comprehensive exam. But as important the staff was friendly and efficient with every test. Dr. Rachael White was very knowledgeable in a variety of eye problems and listened to my concerns and experiences with my eye problems. She gave me a thorough exam and advice I will take for future eye care.Also there was no waiting my appointment was honored almost immediately on my check in. John
Never going back here again.Beware of refund policy.I could not see well with my new glasses. A repeateye exam done by one of the new doctors Was found to be inconsistent with Dr Monticalvo’s exam, done earlier in the year. The Staff and doctor decided to have the lenses done correctly. The Optician said no because they have a policy of 3 months on returns.I tried to resolve the issue but I kept getting put off and My calls were never returned.It took 4 in person visits to get a refund. The only way I got a refund was to contact the Ohio Attorney General’s WebAnd found that Ohio has a revised code 1345.03 stating that if they do not have a refund policy conspicuously placed intheir office that the refund is given to the client. I got my refund.They have very poor Patient PR and It seems the only way You can get them to listen to you is to show up in person.
The eye check up went great. Dr. Bush was very good. I have been seeing him for about 5 years. Very pleasant staff also. I won’t go any where else.Thank you,Beverly Schultz
Only place in DAYTON with high quality and exclusive brands (Gucci to Tom Ford) and the customer service and professional care to match!
Every staff member we encountered during our visit was extremely professional, helpful and kind. Dr. Busch was exemplary and patient and solution oriented. He also was an amazing listener, which was refreshing and helpful, to say the least. I would recommend this practice to anyone seeking low-vision optometry services.
Already two visits and both experience exceeded expectation. Eye Exam started as scheduled, polite staff, new up to date equipment, and so on. Their selection of glasses are wide and modern - just think that there prices are a bit high though. Overall highly receommded.
Had an eye exam for the first time in 20 years. Apparently a lot has changed in the time! I was amazed at all the tests they performed to critically assess the health of your eyes. Dr Gilbert was helpful in addressing my eye health. He provided information and mentioned useful products without being pushy. Fortunately, I have good eye health but I would definitely return to Nova if I had any issues. I will likely return to Nova for check-ups....maybe more often then once in 20 years....
Very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend.
The doctor and staff are very professional and friendly. They took time with me to pick out glasses and listened to my needs
Dr. Montecalvo at Nova Vision (lame pun alert) opened my familys eyes to vision therapy. She is on top of all the latest research and practices and has helped both of our kids who have different categories of vision issues. The staff is friendly and reliable. The vision therapists are kind, knowledgeable, and dedicated. We have all learned a lot, while our kids vision has improved in the process. Highly recommend.
I visited Nova Vision Care for a second opinion. I was impressed with the office layout, the attentiveness of the optical assistants, and especially, the way Dr. White handled the testing of my eyes. She conducted four additional tests on my eyes and took her time evaluating the situation. Sure enough, my prescription from the other office was too strong! I was so relieved. They offered to help me get my new glasses lenses made if the other office would not help. Thankfully, they did. I am still very grateful to Nova Vision Care for taking my case and helping me. They have won a new client! I look forward to having my eyes cared for by Nova Vision Care in the future.
Horrible business. Never returned calls when u have a issue or have questions about refunds. Told many lies to get you to purchase a package. Not a good place.
One of the best eye exams ever ! Very professional very caring answers questions easily explains everything I left knowing more than when I came, a feeling of confidence and the care does not stop with Dr. Gary Bush everyone from the front desk to the lovely lady who showed me my frames, to the person who repaired a pair of glasses that I messed up. the service went beyond my expectation..
Dr. White is awesome and Betty is the bomb. You can trust the team here.
I walked in just to check out what a friend told me about Nova Vision Care & was immediately blown away by the selection of quality frames from top brands. A young lady by the name of Kiana was really helpful & on top of her game in answering my questions. The service was so great it prompted me to schedule an exam. Absolutely recommend Nova Vision Care to all my friends & family
The most comprehensive eye exam I have ever had. I loved the friendly staff, no wait time, and frame selection. They offer alot of different lens options, the one I choose was a blue light reducer one that will help my eyes when looks at a computer all day. I would definitely recommend going to this practice for all your eye needs. Wonderful!
Excellent patient centered careful treatment.frindly courteous and prompt focused attention for Pamala Genson. (Severe ischemic Stroessner Aron day the base of her brain. Among other symptom she has problems with eye alignment, tracking and limited field of vision. Head position and rage of neck/head movement. She is very severely invovolved and as a result limited functionality. She is waiting for new reading glasses now hoping to restore the ability to enjoy her passion for reading which she has been unable to do for 13+ months now. We are greatful
I called and talked to a nice lady on the phone and explained to her i work full time dont health/eye insurance and was having minor eye irritation. I asked her if she could give me a ballpark on price and she said that wasnt possible not knowing the exact cause which i understand! The Doctor proceded to check my eyes with dye pretty typical and then she dumped a saline eye wash in i knew exactly what she was doing trying to charge me for a procedure that i could have done at home for free but $105 for that??? it took 10 minutes!! On top of that she proceded to take the over counter eye drops she said i needed off there shelves and told me you will need these INSTEAD of saying these are available if you would like sir...Not the first time i felt like i got Hustled by a Doctor Unfortunately...
I have been going to Nova for about 3 or 4 years and have been extremely happy. I have seen Dr. Montecalvo and Dr. White and been very pleased with both. I have always felt that they are very thorough and that they educated me on my options and then let me choose what I feel is the best route.The office is convenient to get to (being right off 675) and the wait times have always been reasonable. Okay...if I had one suggestion, it would be to replace the lobby chairs. :)
Very nice clean practice, amazing doctors an staff,highly recommended 😊😁
