I didnt know I could get such great service at an eye exam place. Carolyn, Dr. Johnson, and another gal helped me. The team there was really accomodating and really cared. They were thorough and made sure I left with the best pair of glasses and contacts. No wonder I had to schedule an appointment to get my eyes examined, theyre great and busy. The optometrist knew what she was doing and really kept me in the loop with the health of my eyes. I have always had a very heavy prescription so it was very refreshing to know that theyre doing everything they can to help me get the most comfortable and fitted glasses possible. I cant think of a better place thats treated me so well when it comes to my vision. I went in a little apprehensive bc of the not so great service Ive had from previous places. My last pair of glasses frame from another place wasnt even the right fit and was heavy. Im very excited to get my glasses! I wish I came here all the previous years! I can be difficult (unintentionally of course) yet Carolyn and Dr. Johnson were both very patient with me and showed no sign of resentment.

I scheduled my first appointment online. When I arrived, a problem with the website meant there was no record of my appointment. Betsy was helpful & we rescheduled for the following week, but stated they were aware that the website was experiencing problems. Why not disable the appointment function on the website until it is working properly? When I arrived the second time, none of the 3 office assistants acknowledged me in any way until I greeted them, & they didnt seem friendly or happy to be there. I was on time but had to wait 15 minutes. Dr. Lawrence was condescending & failed to disclose that he would be charging me for a contact fitting, when my appointment was for an annual exam. He simply asked me if I wore contacts and then launched into a sales pitch for the Dailies contacts. He didnt offer to answer questions, just assumed he knew what I would want to know. I actually like the contacts, but will be buying them online instead of paying a $69 fee.

I had the BEST experience here, after a bad experience at another eye clinic. Jo Ann, optician, is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I received invaluable contact lens info from her. I was nervous, as my current brand, style, and size of contacts are no longer manufactured! The front desk staff and other opticians are friendly and welcoming. Dr Lawrence is the most likeable Eye Dr Ive seen in years! In addition to being very experienced and knowledgeable, he is kind, compassionate and understanding. His exams are thorough and accurate. He was 100% focused on my questions and eye concerns. He listens well and cares that the patient is happy with the outcome. I was very impressed and look forward to my next appointment. Thank you Calhoun Vision!

Told contacts would come in between 3-5 business days. Called on business day 7 and told "well call you when they come in". When asked why they had not come in during the time frame they promised they would response was "we just ordered them". When I questioned why such a long delay in the order when I was told the order would be put in the day I had my appointment, they sounded frustrated and repeated, "well call you when they come in". No apology for the delay, no explanation for the delay, just a well call you, dont call us attitude. FAIL. Looking for an alternative.

If youre looking for new glasses, talk with Jason at the family-run Calhoun Vision. Amazing comes to my mind when I think of the team. The doctor literally got onto his knees to talk with me; his dad, the other doctor/owner, jollily offered me peanuts and is known to tell people when they dont need glasses or an "upgrade." Jason listened to what I was looking for and quickly helped me to pick out a pair better than I was imagining. Im thankful for Jason and the team at Calhoun Vision every time I put on my earthy, fun glasses. Stop by--theyll make your day brighter.

Dr. Johnson and everyone at Calhoun Vision Center are great. I had my regular exam and they were friendly and helpful. I ended up having to come back (my allergies were making my vision blurry). Dr. Johnson made great recommendations about what would solve my problems. They are very encouraging to come back if you have any issues. They even changed the lenses in my old sunglasses for me. Great experience!

I do genuinely like Dr. Lawrence, however, his desk assistance are pretty poor. I called giving my detailed insurance information asking about pricing on glasses and contacts. I was given 3 different definitive prices from 3 different people. When I finally asked the manager about this he said I should go elsewhere for my service. Take home: if you want straight forward pricing GO ELSE WHERE!

The best Eye Doctor I have ever been to. I had an appointment with Dr. Lawrence on a Saturday morning. One of the very best doctors experiences I have ever had. Dr. Lawrence is an absolutely all-around great person and intelligent doctor. I came in with some serious concerns and left with all the knowledge I could ever need and more. He loves his field. I would highly recommend.

I love Calhoun Vision and their entire staff. Has been my eye doctor for 27 yrs. Have gone to other eye doctors who have fudged my prescription and ended up with migraines. No reason to ever go to a different place when I already have the best there is. And so it has been for many years. Could not give a higher recommendation to anyone else.

Ive had glasses for 10 years and I have been to countless places for glasses. Calhoun Vision is my all time favorite. The doctors and receptionists are so nice and flexible. I dont even live in the cities anymore and drive an hour and a half to see them, they are just that incredible. The lenses and frames are always incredible quality.

Great service, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Although i have switched due to distance, I went there for about 20 years along with the rest of my family! I definitely recommend Calhoun Vision to anyone looking for a great eye clinic! Thank you for all your great years of service to everyone at Calhoun :-)

I have been seeing Dr. Lawrence since 1982 and I have been using extended care lenses since day one. His off-beat humor and all-encompassing expertise has provided an excellent eye care experience for my family throughout the years, through three of his locations.

Dr. Lawrence is very funny and always explains whats going on with your eyes and his recommendations thoroughly. He also frank with giving affordable options and what you need or dont really need. Facility and staff are nice as well and short wait times.

This place is great. Its a little hard to describe, but the place has a very relaxed vibe in spite of everyone being completely knowledgeable and professional. I rarely write reviews, but this place deserves one. Highly recommended.
