On May 19, 2015, I visited Avant Garde Eye Care office in Peoria, Arizona. I had previously seen Dr. Richard Stewart, on multiple occasions, for eye exams, but he was located in a different facility. Therefore, I located him in his new facility in Peoria, because I had been impressed with the thoroughness and precision that he had displayed in all of my previous eye exams. Once again, he was extremely thorough, very professional, very kind, very knowledgeable, and, most importantly, he took his time and did not rush me. In fact, he took the time to thoroughly discuss additional issues beyond the eye exam, such as preventative measures for protecting against macular degeneration. He has at least 20-25 years of experience in this field, so I knew that he was very knowledgeable. In addition, he displayed no high pressure sales techniques, so I left the office feeling very comfortable that, when I am ready, I can purchase eyeglasses at his office (he has a large selection) or at any location of my choice. Finally, Dr. Stewarts Avant Garde Eye Care office is a beautiful office, which is very clean and comfortable. It is also important to note that Dr. Stewart has an assistant who is very professional, very knowledgeable, very thorough, and very kind. I am sorry that I did not write her name on Dr. Stewarts business card, so I am uncertain as to her name. She was very kind when she greeted me, and she discussed various eye-related issues with me. She also performed some tests, as she, for example, tested two of my pairs of glasses to determine the prescription for each pair. She processed paperwork for my insurance, and she gave me a pleasant surprise by stating that my insurance may cover part of the eye exam, as I was previously uncertain about my insurance coverage. For the reasons stated above, I highly recommend Avant Garde Eye Care and Dr. Richard Stewart and his assistant. I will definitely go back for future eye exams. Finally, I thank Dr. Stewart and his assistant very much for all of their assistance.

Every year when its time to get new glasses and contacts, I end up going to a different doctor because Ive struggled to find an office that I was willing to visit more than once. Honestly, even with insurance, glasses and contacts together are very expensive. The good news is that I found an office that I really, truly enjoyed. Making the appointment was easy, getting my paperwork done was unexpectedly efficient, and when I arrived for my appointment there was virtually no wait time. It was glorious. Dr. Stewart was very personable and made some recommendations that I thought were not only intelligent, but show how much he cares about his patients. The office staff was so friendly and everyone who worked there seemed like they really enjoyed being in the office. When it came time to pay for contacts and glasses, a rather expensive venture, the price was really reasonable. Denise and Candis did a fantastic job explaining what my options were and helping me to make the best choices. Ive had some really poor experiences at other places in the past and have been bouncing from place to place for years, so I wasnt confident that I would find an office that I was really excited about; that is no longer the case. Ive already told my family and coworkers how great Avant Garde Eye Care is, I dont have a bad word to say about them. They have great frames, great people and great prices. Even though there are multiple providers closer to me, I am willing to make the drive if it means I get to have this experience each year. I can say with confidence that I WILL be back for my appointment at Avant Garde Eye Care next year.

Everyone at Avant Garde is friendly and helpful. Dr. Stewart has been our optometrist for over 12 years and we followed him from LensCrafter to his new location. The office personnel are always pleasant and our appointments are always ontime. Dr. Stewart is a caring professional, who makes you feel comfortable to ask questions and takes time to listen. Our family would and has recommended Avant Garde to friends and anyone looking for a local eye care small business with a personal touch.

Overall, my experience with the eye care center was good. However, I was displeased when I requested a copy of my images. Avant Garde does not provide DVDs and you must take your own DVD if you want images for your records or to provide to another doctor as needed. Most places do provide DVDs as part of good customer service.

I first saw Dr. Stewart 10 years ago when he was at the LensCrafters in the Arrowhead Mall. When he opened up Avant Garde Eye Care, I followed. I have gotten married recently and now my wife and step-son see him. He is THAT great. Everyone at Avant Garde is awesome. Very friendly and helpful.

I have been going here for a few years. The staff is very nice & helpful. My appointments have always been on time. They also have a great selection of frames, including quite a few smaller options which can be hard to find. I highly recommend this office.
