...just wore my first soft contact lens...Jennifer, Refractive Coordinator in Contact Lens Ofc., was very helpful, patient and knowledgeable! She explained all about proper, hygienic care and handling, use of various solutions, and demonstrated and demonstrated and helped with first insertion and removal.

A very nice eye clinic. The Dr. I saw was nice and helpful and was really good at explaining everything. Downside: waited FOREVER. I finally saw the doctor about an hour later than I was scheduled. I would say it was worth the wait, but if you're on a tight schedule, you might want to check out someplace else.

I was the type of person who, since gaining independence, always frequented vision centers inside gigantic malls or shopping centers (read: Wal-Mart). Because of my nomadic nature, until recently, I had never sought the services of a professional-looking, independent optometry practice. Now, Milwaukee is my home. I needed an eye doctor two years ago, and asked around at work. This was the overwhelming favorite. I dig the location -- East side, close enough to bike, decent parking, easy access. The docs are top-notch. They actually take time to talk with you, discuss your test results, prescriptions, options...unlike those mass-market places where the goal is to get you in and out as quickly as possible and customer service tends to fall by the wayside. Not only have I been here for three eye exams, I called and was given an emergency appointment for what appeared to be a major eye problem. That doc was great; after a brief exam and round of questioning, figured out the problem and all was well. I must also add that my first optometrist here was kind of an idiot -- I made a note and asked for a different doctor the next time. I also heard he "left" the practice...kudos! The support staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and I appreciate the "heads up" calls to remind me about appointments and when products are in. The guy who works with frames and glasses (blanking on his name) is utterly fantastic...super nice, explains how your insurance coverage works, and works with you in terms of options. The frame selection isn't overwhelming, which I like -- plenty of options without feeling like I'm looking for hours or wasting time. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the prices on said frames/lenses -- whew! Even with my insurance, which is pretty stellar, I'm still looking at upwards of $175 for frames/lenses. Yeowch. I know I can get cheaper options at mass market places, but this is close by and I don't need to walk through the mall to get there. The staff makes a world of difference.

Bottom Line: Excellent docs, limited frame selection. I was impressed with the professionalism of this office. They seem to run a tight ship. The doctor I saw was very good and took the time to answer all of my questions. I've had some real kooks give me some bad eye exams in the recent past, so it was so nice to get someone I felt I could trust and that gave me a good prescription. I couldn't find any frames I liked, but the guy tried his best to help me.
