I absolutely love how organized and thorough the team at UAB Eye Care are! The optical clinics staff are there to assist you with making the best choice for glasses. They are all very polite and make your experience a pleasant one.
I had an appointment with Zachary Reynard, O.D.. He was probably the most personable doctor I have ever had to deal with. Very friendly and had zero issue answering my ever growing list of questions over the 2 hours I spent in his care that day. I left satisfied and convinced that what he was trying to do would benefit me greatly. I had little involvement with other staff except for a year 3 student, although she was a pleasure to speak with as well. I cannot say for sure you will have the same experience as I did due to my limited exposure, but I can say 100% I will be going back from now on.
Great customer service, the doctors are very patient with you going over your eye exam; and very professional!!
My family and I are very thankful for UAB Eye Care!! They are very detailed and professional. The students are absolutely wonderful to work with. They go above and beyond to make sure that your visit is a great one.
I have gone to the UAB School of Optometry for over 20 years. The staff and students are professional, proficient and friendly. I feel that my exams are equivalent to any care one would receive from a top notch eye clinic. I highly recommend them!
I have relied on UAB Eye Care/ School of Optometry exclusively for my eye care & contact lens service for well over 30 yrs. I continue to be so impressed & pleased with the excellent level of care provided consistently over these many yrs. Thank you to all the faculty, students & support staff for your expertise, professionalism & kindness.
This is a review of the optometry shop inside the eye care. I had terrible experience with it. I gave my own frame for a pair of progressive glasses. They gave me a different frame today telling that’s my prescription. That too after three weeks. Now i am worried that they lost my very expensive silhouette frame. Absolutely terrible place. Go somewhere else.Update: Oct 14. Its been over a month now and I have not received my glasses yet. Absolutely terrible experience.
I liked how they took their time assisting me.. I cant wait to go back and pick up my glasses.
A great place for children. Dr. Magee was very nice & patient with my children. Exam was thorough and a great experience.
I have gone to UAB Eye Care for over 10 years. Dr. Janine Sims is AMAZING. She has a caring spirit, impeccable eye care knowledge, and radiates positive energy. Her excellent customer service, giving heart, and true passion for her profession keeps me coming back. She also keeps me fashionable by helping me select the most fabulous frames for my face type and prescription level (which is the strength of a telescope). I would never let anyone else take care of my eye care needs.
Thank you UAB Eye Care for your great care! The doctors and staff are so friendly. Easy and efficient check in and support throughout my appointment.
The examination was very thorough and professional, and done in a caring and friendly manner. I feel very fortunate to be a patient of UAB Eye Care.
Danielle E was professional, detail oriented and answered my questions clearly.Dr Pate took the extra time to to show and explain the photos of my eye and the reason they were taken.From checking in to leaving the intelligent care was excellent.
I have been going to UAB Eye Care ever since I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in 2005. Their exams are always thorough and complete. Very professional and they offer valuable information concerning their exam. O would definitely recommend them to others.
Excellent eye care, newly renovated space, friendly staff and eye glass shop on site for ease in filling new prescriptions. I also like that the facility is involved in continued research and teaching upcoming Ophthalmologists. My doctor has a very easy and friendly personality with decades of experience in eye health.
They spent a lot of time with me even though my situation was very confusing. They were patient
They are so amazing with kids. I feel very comfortable with them with my child
The doctor was friendly, kind and patient. Answering question and making the eye exam effortless. It was a great experience, thank you UAB Eye Care Center
I’ve been waiting for a replacement of my glasses frame since August the 5th. It is now November 5th and they still don’t have my glasses. I’ve called several times and even left a voicemail for the manager who was on vacation and I never received a call back. Thai is my last time coming here.
Our optomolgist was extremely kind knowledgeable and had a sense of humor. She made going to the eye doctor fun for my kids.We will definitely be returning to this Eye Care center.
The staff was so kind and very professional. Dr. Elder was professional but very pleasant. The students are friendly and helpful. I would recommend UAB Eye Care.
I have used UAB Eye Care for 15+ years, so obviously I’m very pleased with it. It is a relaxed but professional office. I’ve never felt that I was rushed through. There isn’t any pressure to buy contacts or glasses from them, the main reason I hated visiting a eye exam chain.
Good evening Dr. Turner and the person that was helping me with my eye exam were amazing. The young man it was working with Dr. Turner I was very very patient with me. Dr. Turner was polite and pleasant as well.
In all the 14 years I’ve gone from the children’s clinic to the adult clinic it has always been Excellent service both during the appointment and when choosing glasses. They’ve always Answered all my questions and helped throughout the entire process
Great place for eye exams, very thorough, makes everything simple and easy to understand. Staff are all polite, sure it’s a teaching facility, that’s great because I learn something too, they get the job done and it’s done right.!
I really love the service I get at UAB Eye Care! They are an awesome team and I really trust them with the health of my eyes. Students are impressive in their knowledge and exams are verified by attending providers - I have seen several over the past couple of years and have been very happy with their attention plus they have the latest state-of-the-art equipment and only use gold standards for testing. Visits are not quick, but they are extremely thorough.
Ive used UAB eye care for yrs but my recent visit was one of tge best, OD that performed exam was very personable and likable, the student that shadowed her was great too, even recommended a new contact that Im trying! Couldnt be more positive about my experience.
I had an unexpected immediate need to see an eye specialist and mine had no available time slots. I called UAB Eye Care and they got me in within a few hours. Very appreciative :)
Nice facilities, the residents Doctors and staff Doctors are very knowledgeable, good at helping you understand what theyre explaining to you. Very welcoming atmosphere. And they have their own parking for patients so no paying and looking for places to park. The office is busy a lot so be prepared to spend some time.
Everyone was very nice and patient with my 4 year old.
Have been going to UAB eye care for 39 years and have never had a bad experience! From the front desk staff to the students and attendings, it has always been a pleasant experience.
Dr. Katherine Clore has cared for me for more than a dozen years. She is an excellent practitioner and deeply caring person. Her clinic coordinator, Kelly Forbus, is very personable and efficient, helping to make for a pleasant overall experience at the clinic.
I loved my experience at UAB eye care center. My Drs were thorough, knowledgeable & professional, & the administrative staff were also professional & attentive to needs. The facility was clean & welcoming.I look forward to continuing my care needs with UAB eye care clinic.
I have been coming here since I was a fifth grader. It has undergone changes in location, name, and layout, but the quality of care and friendliness of the clinicians is unchanged. I love helping the students get hands on experience. Keep up the good work.
Very nice staff and very detailed. Made sure explain all aspects of my exam.
Staff is friendly. I felt like I was the most important patient.Dr. Weise and her staff are cheerful, knowledgeable and very good with kids. Love it!
Dr. Elder was super nice and very pleasant to talk to. The students were great and took their roles seriously and they were focused on the job. I would definitely recommend UAB Eye Care!
The staff at UAB Eye Care are efficient, prompt and diligent about providing a safe environment for their patients.
Dr. Laurent has been great in trying to get me fitted for my lenses and I am not the easiest patient! The students are so great and willing to take the necessary time to help me and accommodate my schedule in coming from out of town. Minty was great at scheduling and explaining the process and really, everyone was extremely comforting and patient!!
They have execellent service and all of the staff is so kind and patient. I just love Dr. Sims. Sandra Mccalpine
Dont waste your time; they dont want to see you. Was made late by there terrible parking situation when there was zero available parking within a block of the building. I called to tell them I was gonna be late because of it and was told in response to still come to my appointment. When I got there, was turned away for being late even though they just told me I was still good for my appointment and even acknowledged the lack of parking.
The staff were very competent and I received a thorough eye exam.They are very friendly, and I was comfortable with them performing my eye exam.
My fitting went smootly, and my new glasses are great!
Very prompt friendly staff. The eye exam was extensive and thorough. It was an excellent experience all away around. Thank you, UAB eye care😁😁😁
The staff are very skilled and gave me the most thorough eye exam I have ever had.
Dr Pate is a very good eye doctor and spends a lot of time with you
Was a very good experience, although the whole visit went longer than I expected they were throughrow and I truly appreciate it.... Now i havent gotten the bill yet [ insurance is supposed to pay ], Buuuuutt.... Lol Definitely will be going back.
They have the nicest and the most knowledgeable people working here. I have always come here every year to have my eyes checked as I worked in an office in a stressful job. At age 68 I know that my eyes are not going to improve, but these people make sure that every change is monitored and that I will have no surprises in the coming years!!
I was very pleased with the treatment I received on this visit.
Very friendly, I was able to get in and get out without waiting an absurd amount of time !
Great visit they talked my son through everything they were doing and super friendly!! Overall great visit
They did a fantastic job ! Much better than the chain eye care places i previously had been to
Loved it. They are student working under the direction of a licensed optometrist. You will receive the most comprehensive eye exam you have ever had. The student will leave the room and confer with the doctor several times during the exam. Don’t be worried it is a normal practice. You will be there longer than a normal eye exam but, this is because they don’t cut corners and are not trying to rush you in and out.
The Opthalmology resident was, professional, and didnt get offended when I asked her to wash her hands before she touches my face. Very informative.
Knowledge, helpful, and easy to work with. Puts patient first!
The two techs that worked on me were fantastic. I did not feel rushed through, I felt heard, and I felt like I would be taken care of. I could not recommend UAB Eye Care enough!
The staff is professional, courteous and thorough. There was practically no wait time before my appointment. My check-up went smoothly. My examiner was competent and skilled, but always took time to explain things to me. When my appointment was over, the staff went over everything with me, laid out their recommendations, but leeft the decisions to me. I am completely satisfied with my visit, and look forward to my check-up again next year!
My doctor gave me the best care. I absolutely had great experience. I will go back again.
Dr. Daluyin is by far one of the best health-care professionals I have encountered. I enjoyed every moment of my appointment with her, and she really expressed how much she cared about the health of my eyes.
Excellent appointment with Dr. Gordon. Great service from optical and love my new glasses!
I had an impressive experience. They were cautious about COVID. Patient stays in their vehicle until they call for you. They check temperature and provide hand sanitizer at entrance. Holly worked with me the entire visit and she was wonderful. I am a difficult case for lens fitting and she was so sweet, patient and took her time with me. The 3+ hour visit was comfortable and never felt rushed. I loved hearing the teaching that took place. Dr. Laurent in fantastic at his job... brilliantly smart yet still has the ability to break it down so that I could understand. I’m happy to have found UAB Eye Care and I’m excited for the vision that I am confident they will help me gain!
The appointments can take a while depending on how busy the doctor is and what all they are checking. I had one appointment that was almost 4 hours long but it was very thorough and everything was checked that needed to be. Be prepared to have Optometry students doing a lot of the exams and helping the Optometrists. I personally did not mind this at all, but if you do, keep that in mind! Everyone is always so helpful and professional!
Im grateful for the care and patience of Dr. Daluyin during recent months she has been working with me through a series of vision problems. Shes tweaking for a final fit of new contact lenses that are already far superior than any Ive had in the past. Thanks Dr. D and UAB!
Dr. Hopkins and staff are amazing. They gave us a great comprehensive plan for dealing with my daughters vision issues. I definitely recommend this practice.
Great place. Most likely you will get a student working with you, then doctor comes to verify everything. It is actually great, students have much more time and will try everything for their own practice (and your benefit). I’ve spend over an hour with my student trying to get all the numbers for my eyeglasses right, and he sure did! Try to get that attention somewhere else... Highly recommend!
Great people who truly care and go beyond the expectation of professional due diligence.
My experience was not what I expected everyone was so caring to mu feeling and needs they were very polite and to the point made me feel special
The service is absolutely wonderful! They always give the absolute best care.
The staff went above and beyond to insure that I received the best care possible, and explained everything so that it was easily understood. I will never go anywhere else for eye care
Gave a very detailed examination and were very courteous. Got me in and out quickly while maintaining many Covid Safety protocols, including: checking temps of patients on entry, masks, one way hallways, spacing, Safety shields, etc. I felt safe and like I was getting a great examination. They also offer pretty decent discounts for university students.***Update: Went back for a follow up and the teaching doctor used me as a teaching tool. I didnt mind this and had consented to this previously, but my concern is that she used a lot of complicated medical terms to describe something to the student and never once simplified or discussed what she found with me directly. Its outrageous to say someone is young to be developing something in front of them and then not explain what it is or if its something to be concerned about. I was furious and had to look up the findings she had discussed with the student on my own. Felt like I was just a piece of meat.That said, the students do a great job and I will probably go back since its cheaper than many places.
Cutting edge eye care...we are so lucky to have this facility in Birmingham! Never a wait; always friendly and professional. The docs will tell you what they’re testing and why (if you care to know). I have been here for eye injuries, regular check-ups, dry eye problems and glaucoma screening.
The student intern was very friendly and did everything efficiently and swiftly. The professor doctor was very knowledgeable and answered my questions satisfactorily.
I thoroughly enjoyed my eye exam with Dr. Nguyen. She was excellent!
Everyone was very knowledgeable and service was fast. I’m very satisfied with everyone at UAB Eyecare!
Professional, unrushed and informative in all ways. We wish all medical facilities were operated this well.
Dr. Gordon and the staff at UAB Eye Care are great. I highly recommend them.
Parking only complaint I have is thpaingissues
Great staff. Dr Bailey is very friendly and helpful
Dr. Laurent is the absolute best. Hes very caring with his patients and always professional. Also I had the pleasure of getting the same student twice and she was wonderful. ( sorry I cant remember her name)
Very good experience. Dr. Dicus was very attentive and patient during my eye exam.
Everyone was so kind, thorough, gentle, professional, and took their time to explain what they were doing and to answer all my questions.
The best people and the most complete eye care check up!
It was my first time at the UAB Eye Care and I was seen by an intern who did the eye exam and everything. He was nice and patient and answered all my questions. I saw Dr. Sims briefly at the end, but she was also very and gave me some more information. At last I had some issues with billing for which I called them and they were able to fix it promptly. Overall, I had a great experience and so far its the best eye doctor in town that Ive been to.
Everyone was so great! Dr. Bailey is amazing. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
I have used UAB Eye Care for many years and have always received excellent care. I highly recommend them.
The staff here are AMAZING! I absolutely love Dr. Weise and Kelli!
Dr. Rothchild and Traci were very professional and courteous. The exam was more thorough than previous eye exams that I had received at other venues. They ask relevant questions to understand my issues. I highly recommend!
I’ve been a patient for 30+ years! I’ve always had the very best of care from the docs in this group. They have the latest technology and very thorough testing procedures.
I loved my first visit to this place. They were well organized to take care of people doing this pandemic. They got me in earlier than my appointment time scheduled. The staff was so friendly. The doctor was friendly and courteous. I loved mostly that they didn’t ask me about my insurance card until the doctor was finished. It felt good to walk into a doctor office and be considered a patient first and and insurance card last.
I felt confident in the safety of my visit, and the accuracy of my prescription. The doctor made me feel at ease and was thorough. Everything you want in eye care!
I have been going here since 1998. I have been very please with my doctors and residents. I have always had the latest fashion in eyeglasses. Great price and since I work here, payroll deduction is awesome!
Dr Bailey was extremely sweet and kind to my 7 year old granddaughter. She listened to what my daughter had say. Took her time didn’t rush etc. Then wrote a letter to the school Principal!
UAB Eye Care was personable and friendly. All students encountered were awesome and Dr. Bailey is the best!
Great job by Matt and Dr.Pate.
The uab school of optometry was awesome. My little 4yr old can be uncooperative sometimes with exams and their students knew exactly how to get him to comply and made it so much fun for him. We spent 2 hours there and it was a blessing the whole time. I will definitely go back. Excellent service.
Love U.A.B. Eye Care. Students are well educated, very thorough as well as courteous and kind. Overseeing Teaching Physicians are very thorough in their follow up.
The check in process was smooth. The person doing the exam was knowledgeable, empathetic to any discomfort or worries, communicated wonderfully, and had a great disposition and professional bearing. The doctor was knowledgeable, communicated clearly about the appointment, and did a great job explaining the need for constant exams.
Very professional and proficient.
Was able to help me out without having to have surgery with scleral lenses. Gave me hope again. Great staff and definitely appreciate Dr. Daluyin.
