I always feel well cared for at South Sound Eye Care, starting with the friendliest front desk staff to Dr. Greer and Dr. Kim who cares about my eye health and takes the time needed to provide excellent service every time. Iβm happy to be part of the family there. Their office is not a typical eye care office. You are not just a number, but a person with a name. I love the small town feel of the office and look forward to my appointments there. π They always try to accommodate appointments around my busy work schedule. I know I am in good hands for all my eye care needs.
VERY nice and friendly. I will be telling everyone I know (and dont). Dr.Kim is so sweet.
I normally leave eye appointments without a lasting impression. Pretty much feeling like thanks for the prescription update, see ya next year. Today someone finally listened to me and understood what I was experiencing. Thank you, Dr. Greer for hearing me! This was the best and most informative eye exam I have ever had.
The staff here are nice and welcoming, especially those in the back. It is a smaller space but that gives it a more personal feel. The Dr. was very knowledgeable and answered all questions during my visit.
The office staff are friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I had Dr Kim she took time to go over history and performed a complete eye exam. I highly recommend South Sound Eye Care.
Just a vary nice staff. Place was vary clean and we were in and out in no time at all. Great with the younger kids also.
This appointment was through the VA/Tricare. Everyone at the office was polite and respectful. The exam was pleasant and I didnt feel rushed. Dr. Kim was wonderful and I felt well taken care of. With Covid-19 - they had me check-in on line and wait in my car, till they were ready for me. Very well thought out process, to keep everyone safe and healthy. Highly recommended Dr. Kim and the clinic!
I am always impressed by South Sound Eye Care professional, knowledgeable, and caring Doctors and staff. I would highly recommend South Sound Eye Care.
Dr. Kim is amazing! She treats you like family. She does an awesome job explaining medical information into laymanβs terms. The staff is wonderful as well. Another bonus is the great system they utilize to give friendly reminders of your upcoming appointments.
Dr. Kim and the staff were excellent. Friendly, courteous, and professional. Dr. Kimβs demeanor instantly set me at ease with the exam and procedures. She even laughed at some of my stories. I will be returning in a year for my annual exam.
I always have a positive experience and trust Dr. Greer to take care of my vision.
My visit was a first class experience. The office staff took time to explain everything that was going to happen doing my appointment. They answered all of my questions. Quality service!Dr. Kim provided is a excellent doctor. This was my first appointment at the clinic but I will return.
Dr. Kim was great to work with. I have been going to Dr. Greer for many years and this was the first time Iβve seen Dr. Kim. She explained everything fully and we enjoyed a nice conversation and even shared some laughs. The front desk staff was also friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The assistant was very knowledgeable and professional as well. It was a very enjoyable visit. Thank you.
This was my first visit to South Sound Eye Care. I was very pleased with the staff and Dr. Greer. Every test they did on my eyes was fully explained prior. I would recommend South Sound Eye Care to everyone.Rosemary B.
Best eye doctor & clinic ever! Dr. Kim is amazing! Her personal care and kind hearted demeanor puts you at ease and you feel as if you are just talking with a friend. The whole clinic from the assistants and front desk staff are also just as kind and take great care of you. I would recommend this clinic to all! If I could rate it 10 stars I would!
Very courteous, professional, and excellent customer service. They went out of their way to help me.
Warm welcome by front desk staff, already on the phone to insurer; optometry tech very competent and described testing options; Dr Kim did a thorough history and exam, identified need for more prior records, diagnosed new condition, referred for specialty care and made follow up appointment. Thanks!!
Ive been seeing Dr Greer for 10+ years. Excellent doctor. Very knowledgeable. Works to make sure your vision is the best it can be. I would definitely recommend him to all my friends and family.Entire office currently following all the Covid protocols to keep you safe.
It is always a pleasure to see Dr Greer and his staff. They are very professional when treating their patients. I would recommend anyone to go to them to be treated.
Wonderful experience, everyone was very nice/informative. I felt like they did a very thorough eye exam and will be coming back annually.
Easy to schedule appointment. Excellent Covid-19 protocols and cleanliness. State of the of art optical and ophthalmic testing. Communication between staff and patient were clear and concise, including all medical explanations from Dr Kim. Overall Iβm very impressed. I wish i would have found this eye clinic 5 years ago!!
The staff is always super friendly and Dr. Kim listens to what I want instead of trying to sell me on something else. She also has great suggestions for things I wouldnt think of. (Like wearing one contact for long distance, one for closer viewing. The bifocal contacts werent working for me but that did.) Our family have been customers for around 10 years and they gave always been great!
South Sound Eye Cares staff is excellent and veey caring. Dr Greer is extremely thorough and explains what he is doing and what it means. He follow s through on any thing that is trouble some. I completely trust his care for my eyes.
Wonderful people. They take the time to explain whats going on with your eyes.
Attentive service for check in and scheduling. Dr Greer explains tests, photos of eyes and science behind it all with full color images.
South Sound is a great place to go. I feel at ease and comfortable with them taking care of something as important as the eyes. They are thorough and competent. I am always at ease when I am at their office.
Great visit! First time here & the staff was wonderful! Very professional, thorough & courteous. Highly recommend.
Doctor Cathy Kim and her staff were great andvery professional.
Great team, excellent service. It is wonderful to have good vision and a team that will help me preserve it.
I always have anxiety before going to any Doctor appointments. The staff made me feel welcome and made my visit extremely easy. Very clean clinic. The staff are very knowledgeable and I felt in good hands!
Wonderful. Your staff as well asyou are wonderful. I usually develop anxiety when seeing doctors, not in your establishment. Your staff chat with me upon entering, waiting and leaving. All I can say is keep up the excellent work.
Took my teen girls here today for their first visit as new patients. They LOVED Dr. Greer! The staff was friendly and helpful. So glad to have found them!
Dr. Kim and all of the staff are amazing! Always felt very welcomed and honestly have fun seeing them! As a practice manager I am always impressed by this clinic. β€
Very professional, definitely worth the wait getting appointment for eye exam. Would highly recommend.
Dr Kim was very thorough with my followup exam after my cataract surgery. She answered all my concerns. Strongly recommend South Sound Eye Care.
Everything was done professionally and courteously. A lot of their assessments are very detailed. Appreciate the whole staff; Dr. Greer is an incredible optometrist and really knowledgeable. I do recommend South sound for an outstanding eye care visit.
My 23 yr-old daughter went to this place and told them she is under VSP insurance and she has 2 benefits (my husband is a teacher with great insurance coverage). She even showed them the screenshots from VSP.COM so they could apply her benefits. In the end, my daughter is charged for $237++ instead of $90+ (excess of the coverage plus co-pay) because they said they are out-of-network. WHO WOULD BE IN HER RIGHT MIND TO AGREE TO PAY THIS AMOUNT WHEN SHE COULD HAVE 2 PAIRS OF EYEGLASSES FOR FREE??? The lady there Kay or Faye, (cant remember which one is her name) said they explained to my daughter the prices. Well, obviously, they didnt explain well enough. They could have advised her to try to go to other places in that area so she could use her insurance instead they went ahead and charged her. This is totally a misinformation and they took advantage of it. By the way, the lens are not good too. Premium lens but still very thick! We called to get a refund and she insisted not to. Their office might have made money out of my daughters pocket (she just got separated with a one year old kid) but they will not earn any respect and referral from us for sure.
This is my second visit. When I called to schedule my appointment on Tuesday, I was able to get in by Thursday. Due to medical conditions I must have exams yearly to be able to fill certain prescriptions. I was appreciative of this promptness to get me in. I hardly had to wait to be helped. I was taken back for my exam quickly. All scans and images were done and I was seen by the doctor right away. I love the proximity to my home. The staff is amazing. Glad I transferred my care to South Sound Eye Care.
The staff was very pleasant and very helpful. Made the visit to their office very nice and welcoming. Would recommend this office to others, a nice hidden serect.
Dr. Kim ruined my sons vision. She was my eye doctor from 2006 to 2013. Why we left? My son was referred to get an eye exam from his pediatrician when he was 3 years old. So naturally, I took him to my eye Dr. She examined him and said he was normal for his age. Kids at 3 are naturally a little far sighted so nothing to worry about. It would correct itself. My sons preschool teacher said she was wondering about his vision too because of things he did in school. I said we had it covered. The pediatrician recommended an eye exam at his 4 year old well child visit. So we went back with the same result. Same thing happened for the 5 year well check, with the same result. At school, my son failed their eye exam they have all the kids do. I brought his exam back to her office as she had just seen him 2 months prior to this exam. Dr. Kim gave him a prescription for being far sited in both eyes, but still defended her diagnosis while doing the exam. Next school year he came home as failing that eye exam, and she had just seen him 2 months prior that time. I took him to another optician who said my son had a severely neglected astigmatism, and WITH LENSES would only be able to see 20/50. He had a diagnosis of amblyopia. I took the diagnosis and prescription to her office where they took a copy of it. I told them about the exam visit, and they said they would tell her. We never got a call from her, or anyone apologizing for her mistake. I left a review on Google, and I filed a complaint with my insurance company. We had to do eye exams every 6 months for the next 7 years, and only one of those visits per year was covered by insurance. If there was a new prescription, only one was paid for per year. This woman caused my son to be delayed in at school, requiring extra attention. She has changed their office name 3 times, but she is still practicing. I would never take my family there if I were you.
Very thorough, but very personable. Always look forward to my appointments. They are very trustworthy!Thank youJet Haggerty
Great service. Friendly staff and itβs clean.
Very nice staff and Dr. Greer is professional and takes the time to explain everything about your eye health and what can be done for you in your best interests. Iβll be continuing to go see Dr. Greer as heβs a great guy and as long as Iβm around π
Comfortable environment. Dedicated staff. Overall great Experience. I just adore Dr Kim. Staff called around until they found Pharmacy that had the eyes I needed so that I could head out on vacation. It was a major thing that I did not have to worry about before the trip. I recommend South Sound for all your Eye Care.
If you want your eyes checked by the best and most friendly Opthamologist/optometrist in the Tacoma/Lakewood/Steilacoom/Dupont area, check them out.
Friendly, professional, and easy to find.
Gregory Greer OD and all the staff are professional, kind, and friendly. The staff go above and beyond for their patients.
Excellent people and excellent service.
Outstanding care, they make you feel like family and truly care about you!! Thanks
Highly recommend South Sound Eye Care! Very personable place. The staff there are amazing and funny. Dr. Kim is absolutely wonderful. Very comfortable environment. Should check them out!
Iβm not one to leave reviews but for Dr.Dahlin I would be wrong not to tell you all how amazing he is. He is hands down the best medical professional Iβve come in contact with. He genuinely cares about his patients overall well-being. The remaining staff are all also very warm and welcoming. Not to mention I called and was able to be seen the next day! I always look forward to going to my eye exams 100% recommend!!!
Very friendly, informative, thorough.
Very efficient and pleasant service personnel. My technician was thorough and knowledgeable. Dr Kim was patient and gave me a thorough eye exam, and helpful info on my eye care. Will be seeing her again for followup care. The office was clean and attractive. Nice selection of eyeglass frames.
The employee was professional and kind It was a nice experience
Absolutely terrific service in all respects.
My front office check in was quick,appointment,was on time, Dr.Greers,optical tech was absolutely Five Star, so detailed, professional, personable, great job ! Dr.Greer patiently explained every process and finding. Was a very positive experience.Thanks to everyone. Military Veteranson the Veterans Choice Program/Community Care...this provider is a great.choice.
Excellent service.....Iβve been with this agency for more than 10 years....they are clean and practice COVID-19 protocalls. I would give them 5 π....ππ»
Everyone at this place is really nice. They greet you with a smile!! The eye doctor was very helpful. She found out my eye problem. She answered all my questions and sent to to a cataract institute for surgery. I was glad I came here rather than a generic place to get glasses. You will be happy with this place and the people that work here! If you have an eye problem, the doctor will find it.
South Sound Eyecare is a full service optometrist and glasses shop. Care is excellent and consistent. Doctors are really good and care about the patients. Iβve been going there since 2007 (when it was at Tacoma Mall).
Dr. Kim really cares about her patients and is very knowledgeable. The staff is also very professional.
Dr.Greer is a very knowledgeable professional. His easy going manner melts any tension away and makes your visit stress free. There is no rush during an appointment and everything is explained thoroughly to the patient. Any forgotten questions and the staff is prompt to contact you back. The difference between this practice and other practices i have been to is the fact that you actually spend most time with the doctor who examines your eyes as well as does the checkup for glasses. The staff is great! I am very happy I am a patient at South Sound Eye Care.
Very professional and nice people. My exam was very thorough. I felt secure in the knowledge that everything was interested in making sure my eyes were good and my vision as good as possible.
I had to get in last minute Wednesday and Thursday because of having Shingles near and possibly in my eye. Dr. Greer did not hesitate to let me come in late in the day. Both Dr. Greer and Dr. Dahlin were extremely warm and empathetic. The nurses were all very sweet. This is a great office full of fantastic people! I am very grateful for them.This should be your future eye care place, hands down!
Would recommend for prescription based services, not medical care. Had an issue with my eye, didnt resolve after the first visit, optometrist seemed flustered at recheck and recommended similar treatment & recheck with possibility of punctal plugs as the next step. Optometrist did not recommend referral.Went to an ophthalmologist, was prescribed medicated drops & am starting to see improvement. Wish I had gone to an ophthalmologist first or recommended that as an option at the recheck.
It is a pleasant experience. Eye exams and treatment for eye problems is essential to have good eye health.
Staff is friendly and knowledgeable, helpful and Dr. Greer is great.
My husband, Dan, and I are long time patients of Dr. Gregory Greers. We recommend him highly to our friends for his friendly and professional care. We are in good hands with Dr. Greer. We recently received care fromDr. Kim. We found her to be personable, informative and highly competent. Very good eye care from this team!
I am a Dr Greer stocker...Ive followed him from a few practice sites because Ive always gotten EXCELLENT care but also because hes got a great sense of humor. The practice staff at South Sound Eye Care are all professional, friendly, caring and helpful.
If you are looking for friendly, helpful, non-pushy, professional eye care, this is the office to go to! Dr. Kim and her staff are very knowledgeable about their job, and are very polite. They dont talk over your head and make sure that you understand how to get what you need. Great customer service!
Great Apt today especially when I found out Iβm not going blind. Very friendly and helpful staff
Excellent doctor, staff & optician. Understanding & kind. Capable to handle difficult cases (like mine). Professional & non-judgemental. Business on 2nd floor with access by stairs or elevator. Highly recommend. Bonus, I can see well too. βΊ
Wonderful office great Girls behind the desk and a wonderful eye doctors. I enjoyed my experience
Dr. Kim listens well and is thorough in her exam also using the latest technology. I appreciate how personable she was and the care she provided for me and my family. The technicians are also remarkably knowledgable and caring. I moved two hours away and find that it is worth it to come back to see Dr. Kim and her staff.
I would highly recommend South Sound Eye Care. Dr. Kathy Kim is very knowledgeable, friendly and takes time to answer questions. The rest of the staff are friendly and make sure your needs are met while choosing frames. The office is clean and comfortable and had a calm atmosphere. Great place for all your eye needs.
I went in to south sound eye care, my appointment was at 2 I got there at 145 and they were ready for me. My first time there and they caught things my other doctor didnt catch. Im a member for life. Thanks dr. Kim
Very good. Dr very nice and seems to know what she is doing
Dr. Kim is so sweet and is great with my kids. She has been seeing my 11 year old since she was 5 and has a knack for understanding how to ease kids into successfully completing the exams. We love her! Thank you Dr. Kim!
I have seen Dr. Greer for several years now and couldnt be happier with him and his staff. Dr. Greer is more thorough than most others Ive been to and fun to talk to. He explains everything and makes sure I understand what hes telling me. I would recommend him anytime. :)
I have never been billed from vision visits until visiting this clinic. I have the same insurance and I donβt know why I had to pay anything! They said they are PPO. They billed $75!!! for lenses fitting and I have to pick up the coinsurance?what the?!!! And other charges? And the lenses fitting was checked by one of the technicians for a few minutes and not even by Dr.??? Wow! I will stay away from here. BS billing charges.
Educate your support staff! Ive never actually been here, the doctors might be fantastic. However, I called with an emergency (seeing flashes of light, a symptom of a condition that could lead to blindness) but the receptionist I spoke with had no idea and said she could get me an appointment three weeks out. I dont mind they couldnt get me in today, I mind that people could be calling with this same emergency and the support staff doesnt know anything about it. I called two other offices and they both immediately urged me to get in right away. If you work in a medical office, learn about the different emergencies you could be faced with. At the very least, put the phone down and go get a consult, something she didnt bother doing. To the doctors, you should have a great interest in educating your support staff, theyre the face of the office. In this case, she couldve cost me my vision if I hadnt known enough to call elsewhere.
I had fun today! Everyone was very upbeat. Jenny, the assistant, and I laughed and joked and Dr. KIM TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF ME.
I love and highly recommend South Sound Eye Care! Very polite and professional staff, smooth process from check in to check out, and Dr. Kim is a joy to work with. Check them out!
Friendly staff and comfortable environment. Dr. Greer was very professional and knowledgeable. I definitely would recommend others to come here.
We have been with South Sound Eye Care for several years and I have to say this was one of our best decisions we made concerning our eye care. We have tried different offices, but we have found none that cared like Dr Greer and his staff .I have some health isusses and Dr Greer always makes sure to inform my PC of his findings and if need to he makes me come back to make sure Im okay.And I think the staff is really friendly and very helpful and they are so nice.I am so glad that we have found this Care Center and I really hope that Dr Greer stays there for a long time.Thank you everybody !
I had so much fun at my eye appointment I wish I could go more often. The staff are all courteous and pleasant as well as fun to chat with! I also liked all their new state of the art equipment.
Dr. Kathy Kim is amazing. The ladies at the front desk are so accommodating and friendly.
Very kind and helpful staff! Dr. provides great care and educates patient on your eye health
Dr was great but office staff horrid. Paid for contact lens on dec 4 waited all month for them to come in. Called on the 26th still not in, said they would call me. Then on the 31st get certified mail returning my payment and told me they were terminating me from their office and to go somewhere else. Upsetting cause insurance for coverage ran out for this year. Lied and said I broke their trust? Whatever that meant. All I was doing was waiting for my contacts. I donβt think they ever sent the prescription out. Their staff was very rude to me in beginning. Never will I do business with them again and I wouldnβt recommend them to anyone.
Personable, professional, took time to really listen and tailor a plan to my needs. Plus friendly and fun. Will bring the whole family here!
The eye exam is very thorough, Dr. Greer is very knowledgeable and explains everything in depth and the staff is friendly and helpful. They are the best! I recommend them to all my friends and family members.
I have seen Dr. Greer for several years, as have my kids. He is always courteous and thorough. He addresses my concerns and gives clear understandable explanations. His staff is friendly and helpful.
Dr. Kim is great. She answers all of your questions and is very thorough. She spends time on your assessment and reviews your current health issues with concern for your overall wellbeing. Thank you, Dr. Kim.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff! Will definitely utilize their professional services in the future, thanks!
Great service with great people.
Dr. Kim is very thorough and genuinely wants to get your vision correction spot on. Always a great experience in her office.
Happy to revisit Dr Greer & Dr Dahlen in their new digs in Lakewood. Always the finest in eye care. Will see you in 6 months.
Very relaxed atmosphere, extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend.
I have to travel from Alaska to see the Drs here and they always fit me in and accommodate me in any way they can. Great place to visit.
Best experience at an optometrist. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Would recommend to friends.
Such a great team in this office. Highly recommend them!
