Whether I need to order contacts, pick out a new frame, or discuss my eye’s prescription changes I always feel that my concerns are respected, understood, and addressed. All of the staff, and particularly Brandy, Meg, Lexi, and Binelli (to name a few) go above and beyond to make sure I am pleased at with every visit or need I may have. Truly, all of the staff seem to do everything they can to make me feel important and cared for. Dr. Bill has helped me immensely by diagnosing me with MGD and offering sound advice, treatments, meds, and/or supplements to bring me great relief while getting me into the most comfortable contact lense, which prior to meeting him I couldn’t tolerate due to the discomfort of living with dry eye imposed on me. I highly recommend Atkinson Eyecare for all of yours and your family’s Eyecare needs.
From the moment we walked in, the staff was EXCEPTIONAL! My daughter was so comfortable, every test and process was explained, they understood budget and staying with what insurance covered. We will certainly be back!
My daughter and I were helped by Brandy who was basically our own personal shopper for glasses. I didn’t know someone liked glasses more than me. Awesome staff!
Came in looking for a solution to my broken glasses, as a new customer. They were able to get my old lenses into new frames so that I would have glasses while away for vacation. I will be coming back for sure
Atkinson Eye is truly amazing! Everyone that works there is Wonderful and funny. Great place to for any eye needs.
Dr. Jay was awesome at explaining our vision issues/needs. He answered all questions and we never felt rushed. Brandy helped us pick out amazing frames (with help from Jen too for a 2nd opinion on frame styles!) and we are so happy. Thanks team!
The staff and doctors and amazing! Cindy was a rockstar! She was very patient with me and calmed my nerves with having to get glasses for the first time. She really took the time to make sure I felt comfortable and got the right frames. She reviewed my insurance and out of pocket costs up front so there were no hidden costs. The doctors are very throughout and make sure all of your questions are answered. Highly recommend!
I wish there were 6 stars I could give to the Atkinson Eye Care Team. From start to finish everyone here was friendly and accommodating. My husband and I came in as new patients looking for a more specialized and personable experience than the average low price vision chain stores could provide. This visit was worth every penny. Dr. Patel took the time to thoroughly examine and explain our current situations, and recommend quality products to assist us with all of our vision needs. I also want to give a special shout out to Brandy and Meg. These ladies are the dream team of helping you find new frames. We have never been to any other eye care office where employees have been so knowledgeable (and excited) about the specifics of the inventory, as well as the best styles to recommend for your face type. These ladies made my day. They absolutely love their job and it makes such a big difference. Thank you to all of the staff at Atkinson Eye Care. We are so excited that we found you!
Absolutely Great Experience. Thank you Dr. Jay, Meg and Brandy you guys were wonderful! I Highly recommend Atkinson Eye Care.
I cannot say enough about my experience at Atkinson Eye Care. We moved to the Barrington area recently and chose them for my children’s back to school eye exams. I hadn’t had a visit with them myself yet when I woke up unable to open my right eye. Despite not being registered as a patient with them myself, they worked me in the same day and quickly diagnosed an ocular ulcer. Dr. Jay was able to immediately relieve my pain and set up a treatment plan. As part of the healing process, I needed to wear glasses instead of my usual contacts, but didn’t have any backup glasses. They were able to see me again the following day to update my prescription, chose the perfect frames, and walk away the same day with glasses. Thank you to Dr. Jay, Kathryn, Cindy, Brandy who together did an excellent job helping me to choose and fit frames and cut lenses on site.A++++++++ experience!
After many years of relying on Dr. Bill for the health and care of my own and my husband’s eyes, I realized that I’d never taken the opportunity to let others know what kind of experiences we’ve had over the years.Everyone we’ve come in contact with at Atkinson Eye Care have been top notch professionals. Starting with the scheduling of appointments all the way through to the final fitting of our new eye glasses and/or contact lenses, we have encountered kind and enthusiastic people.The practice is equipped with state of the art technology and procedures, which Dr. Bill uses to the fullest in determining the state of our eye’s health. He answers all our questions, and offers advice on how to keep the sight we have today from deteriorating.My most recent visit gave me the pleasure of working with both Meg and Brandy in choosing my frames. These ladies went above and beyond in finding not one, but two pairs of frames suitable for my needs. With protocols in place for mitigating the spread of the virus, Meg hand-picked over a dozen frames for me to consider. With Brandy close at hand to.offer a “second opinion “ I was able to find frames suitable for my lifestyle.They were patient throughout this sometimes difficult process, going so far as playing off each other’s comments and observations in a entertaining and comical way. Meg and Brandy actually made something that I generally don’t enjoy into a fun and relaxing experience!Kudos to Dr. Bill, Sam, Meg, Brandy and the rest of the staff for making my most recent eye care experience a positive one.
I have had some terrible experiences with chain offices in the past-so much so that it has been years since I have been to an eye doctor. My eyes have been fading a bit and I knew that I needed to find a new office to go to. So I did a google search to find a new eye doctor that would be a better fit for me. Enter Atkinson Eye Care. The doctors and staff are amazing, completely. They took time and listened to everything I had to say (and I can talk a lot) :) Sam took me back and did all my initial prep and was amazing. She made me feel comfortable and was so kind and nice and explained everything that we were doing. Dr Jay was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and talked through everything with me. Giving me lots of options and making me feel very comfortable with my choices moving forward. Brandy helped me with glasses selection and it was so much fun! She helped me pick out some fantastic ones and she and the other women in the office encouraged me to go with a pair that I really loved but felt that I might not be able to pull off. I CANT WAIT TO GET THEM! I am so excited and cant wait to rock them!Bottom line, every single people I spoke to at Atkinson Eye Care was warm, knowledgeable and completely lovely. They made me feel like I was important and my input was valuable. They are a bright spot and a warm hug compared to my past experiences at those shall not be named chain eye doctors. Thank you for existing and for being amazing. Book an appointment, you will NOT be sorry.
I haven’t had glasses I would wear out of the house for about 12 years now and I decided this was the year to get new glasses!!Brandy is super knowledgeable about eyeglass frames, face shapes and skin coloring. She chose frames that I would never have thought of! After we narrowed it down to three frames, the rest of the office staff came over and gave their opinion. I really needed that!I LOVE my new glasses! I am very grateful to the entire staff for their special attention and help! Thank you Atkinson Eye Care!!! :D
I was recently fitted for a pair of reading/computer glasses. It is no exaggeration to say my eyes feel great and much less tired at the end of the day. Should have done this months ago. Special shout-out to Kira for being so helpful and friendly!
I highly recommend Atkinson Eye Care!!! Every single staff member was friendly and helpful, the office was very clean and followed Covid protocols, Dr. Elizabeth and technician Kira were very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable, and the optician Brandy went above and beyond to help me pick out glasses and feel confident. Overall Atkinson Eye Care far exceeded my expectations!!!!
Walking into Atkinson Eye Care is like walking into a family members home. Everyone is so friendly, warm and welcoming. My appointments have always been on schedule (time) and I have never felt rushed through my exams. Sam the technician is always full of Joy and has a beautiful spirit And is great at what she does. Brandy the optician was so friendly and courteous, and had a wonderful sense of humor. Dr. Elizabeth Atkinson is patient, knowledgeable and explains results that you can comprehend. They use great technology and innovation. Its a wonderful place to have your family come for their eye exam.
I’ve been going to Atkinson Eye Care since not long after they opened in another location. Drs. Bill and Becky have become friends over the years. I know they do good work, and I trust them. I also enjoy talking to all the employees, who are all friendly and helpful.
I’ve been to Atkinson Eye Care three times this year and every visit was wonderful. From before you enter the building till you leave, the staff does everything to protect your safety (especially in these crazy COVID times) and make your visit as comfortable as possible. The staff and Dr. Elizabeth Atkinson (the optometrist I saw all three visits) are genuinely caring about you and your eye care. There was no rush feeling and they answered all my questions. On my last visit I had to get glasses for reading, especially since I do a lot of screen time with my job. This is the first time I’ve discussed glasses in 20+ years and I didn’t have a clue about what to get. Brandy and Carol were such amazing help. They gave me several options and were honest with which glasses looked good on my profile. I felt extremely satisfied with the option I chose. Thank you for a great visit!
Every aspect of the appointment from greeting me, checking my eyes, to picking out glasses was absolutely Excellent! I highly recommend Dr. Atkinson and the team!!! Also, Thank You Cindy for the fun in picking out the glasses!!!!
Dr. Jay was awesome! He was very thorough and helped me find comfortable contact lens for astigmatism. Brandy was absolutely fabulous with assisting me in choosing a new pair of frames. Everyone was friendly and helpful!!
An EYE EXAM ONLY for two people was billed/paid at $641, that included a 10% “no insurance” cost reduction….so $700+ or $350 per person. It took 3 visits (2 Saturdays & Monday) to get my prescriptions, and my son still did not get his contact lens prescription. We won’t be going back for a 4th, 5th or 6th visit to get what we are owed & already paid for.For comparison, an eye exam at Costco with prescriptions for both glasses & contacts is $80 per person or $160 without insurance. A savings of $481, so you actually have money left over to buy glasses & contacts with the prescriptions obtained from the eye exam.If you have more money than sense and enjoy endless visits, the fine folks at Atkinson Eye Care are waiting for you!
Atkinson Eye Care is a top notch practice. The staff is extremely outgoing, pleasant, and professional. I first visited the practice after experiencing headaches, and eye fatigue. This was new for me, as I have had no vision problems for 30 + years.Dr. Patel explained my condition (astigmatism), with such a great bed side manner, and helped me understand the factors that were causing my eyes to strain, which was the cause of my headaches.Meg helped me pick out glasses that were comfortable, and looked good as well. As this is my first time wearing eye glasses, I had a lot of questions, and Meg did a great job giving me options, and helping me avoid bad choices.Fast forward 6 months, I had a situation where my 2 yr old daughter hid my glasses on me in the morning, and I thought I lost my glasses. I had an upcoming business trip, and was in a tight spot, as not having my glasses would leave me unprotected from eye strain. This was a sign that I need to order a second pair of glasses, so that I had a backup pair.The staff at Atkinson was so helpful, found an opening in the schedule for me to come in that day to get fitted for a new pair of glasses. The glasses were on order that day, and since I was still experiencing eye strain, we add the Preventia coating to help. The customer service that Atkinson has demonstrated in all interactions, has been top notch. My wife and I are very grateful that Atkinson does pediatric opthamology, as our now 2.5 yr old has astigmatism, like her Dad.The last example that I would like to share, was several weeks ago, when I had gotten something in my left eye. It felt like there was sand in there, and I thought that maybe I had gotten pink eye. I was in a lot of pain, and since it was Sunday, I toughed it out til Monday AM, when the Atkinson office opened. The staff was great, they fit me in that morning with an appt with Dr.Patel. TL;DR, I had gotten something stuck under my eye lid, that was gently scratching my eye, and Dr. Patel was able to reduce the swelling with drops, and then clean the eye out a few days later.As I mentioned, every interaction that I have had at Atkinson Eye care, has been fantastic. My family and I will continue to trust the Atkinson team with our eyes, and I would recommend Atkinson to anyone, without reservation.Oh and one last thing...we found the first pair of glasses. Since my second pair of glasses had the Preventia coating, when wearing them, I was no longer experiencing eye strain. I followed up with Brandi about this difference between the two pairs, as I was confused why the Preventia coating (in addition to bluelight blocking Sapphire coating). Brandi offered to have the lenses for my first pair, remade, to include the Preventia coating, at no cost to me.This gesture went a long way with me, and solidified my loyalty to Atkinson Eye Care, as the whole team really sets the bar high when it comes to feeling like the most important client.Signed,A grateful client
I cannot believe how great my experience was at Atkinson. Very professional, friendly people. I went in for an eye exam and to renew my prescription for glasses. Never in a million years would I have picked out the glasses I ended up getting - but they are perfect. Lots of compliments. Never been so happy with a pair of glasses before. Thank you!
Dr. Elizabeth and Brandi were very professional, helpful and efficient. They answered all my questions in detail. Brandi is an expert in picking glasses. She knew exactly what pair would accentuate my face shape, complexion and personality. I will recommend Atkinson Eye Care to my family, friends and colleagues!
An excellent team! I appreciated the steps that they were clearly taking to make sure all staff and guests are safe (due to COVID). Dr. Elizabeth was fantastic and so caring when I was getting my exam and was patient to make sure I was getting the correct prescription. After the exam, Brandy was an amazing help with getting me the perfect pair of glasses and sunglasses! She knew exactly which pairs to show me and made it very fun! Way to knock it out of the park, Atkinson!
As a professional proofreader who has worn gas permeable contacts for 45 years, I know my way around eye care. In 2020, whether rushing through the exam because of the Covid pandemic or just having a bad day, my long-time eye care specialist had declined to address an annoying discrepancy that had developed between the vision in my two eyes. I switched providers in 2021 and I highly recommend the excellent clinicians Dr. Elizabeth Atkinson and Jay Patel to anyone who is intolerant of vision issues. Melissa took a thorough history that made me feel valued as a patient. Dr Patel conducted an empathetic consultation that took into account my work needs, an ophthalmologic exam that staged my cataract conditions, and a diagnosis of the vision disparity between my two eyes. Dr. Atkinson followed up with expert fitting of new lenses and state-of-the-art computer glasses to address my lengthy daily exposure to blue light. Brandy selected a few frames of their many options in my stated budget and she could be a stylist with her uncanny perception of my taste. Altogether I am impressed with the quality of the staff at every level.
My first time going to this place. I can’t say enough about it the people were just so friendly and the atmosphere was awesome. The doctor was very thorough and explained everything in terms that people can understand. This will be my consistent go to place to manage my glaucoma.
We went here last week and were very impressed. The staff was friendly. The place was super clean and very safe. The doctor was knowledgeable and found several issues that our previous place had missed. My son will see better than ever before. The office staff helped us find frames that fit well and suit our personal style. I highly recommend this place.
Thank You.... Thank you to Atkinson eye care for giving me my life back! I’m in my 40’s and have lived in a vision bubble for over 20 years. I couldn’t see much past 7 feet from me. I had seen many eye doctors that never listened to what I was telling them. I waited entirely to long to wear glasses. In doing so by the time I was legally blind it was to late. I couldn’t get used to them and it was way to much for me to transition. Headaches, depth perception and feeling sick to my stomach I gave up! Everyone I saw just kept putting into glasses and collecting my money. My wife made an appointment for me at Atkinson eye care and I was like here we go again. All puns intended this appointment was different a true eye opener! Dr Atkinson listened... something no other eye doctors did. He cared and the passion for what he does was obvious. He sat with me talking just talking no pressure to do this or do that. He was investing in me as his patient. Asking questions and taking the time to get to know me and why I was there. That made me feel good as everyone is different and everyone has different situations. In doing that I found myself dropping my walls and formulating trust!! We put together a plan. A custom plan that worked for me. He treated me as an individual with individual circumstances. As I sit here now writing this I tear up!!! He did more then just give me my vision back he gave me my life back!!!! For this I thank him!! I thank him for caring and thank him for daring to be different then all the rest!! If you are reading this you probably are in need of eye care. I would highly recommend this amazing doctor and is wonderful staff to everybody. If you see a different doctor that’s ok but if you want the best then make an appointment with the best!! Make your next appointment with ATKINSON EYE CARE! I did and it changed my life it just might change yours too!
I haven’t been to the eye doctor in 20 years so I was nervous and not sure what to expect. Dr. Atkinson was so nice! He asked about my family and told me about his and the nurse and the woman, Ellen, that helped me pick out my glasses were both so friendly and helpful! I appreciated the honest opinion I received when picking out glasses since I’ve never worn any before - I would hate to spend the money without having that opinion! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new eye doctor!
I highly recommend Atkinson Eye Care in Algonquin. Dr. Bill is amazing and all the women that work there are awesome. They have the most updated choice of glasses and really work with you to make you feel happy with your selection. My family has been using Atkinson Eye Care for many years and have never been disappointed.
I brought my mom to Atkinson Eye Care today for an eye exam. The doctors and their team was simply amazing. They were warm welcoming and extemely patient. We felt a geniuine concern for my mothers eye health. She was given a very thorough exam. I have to say it is difficult to find a doctors office that can serve someone who is in a wheelchair and unable to transfer. We was so pleased to see that Atkinson Eye Care was able to provide service for my mother while sitting in her wheelchair. They made sure she was comfortable during every process. We appreciate the experience we had on our visit to Atkinson.
Atkinson eye care has the most amazing and caring staff! They are thorough with exams and very knowledgeable. Brandy one of the eye care clinicians will do an incredible job finding the perfect frame to fit your style!
About a month ago my wife took our 12yr old son to Atkinson Eye Care and felt they did a fantastic job. Since it was now time for me to have an exam my wife strongly suggested I make an appointment there too.I went in today for an exam and was absolutely blown away. From the cleanliness of the office and it’s professional front end staff to the time and attention the doctor gave to me and my eyes. I have seen quite a few eye doctors in my almost 45 yrs and never before have I been made to feel like I was the most important patient they had.If you are looking for a new eye doctor I strongly suggest you check out Atkinson Eye Care. I know one thing is for sure, I will never ever go anywhere else.🥇
I have had great experiences with Dr. William Atkinson. He prescribed Ortho-K lenses for my son nearsightedness. My son wears the lenses at night while he sleeps and he can see great next day without eyeglasses. It is fantastic! Dr. William is very professional, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and can fit my son in for appointments first thing in the morning. He is always helping us to find appointments that will work for us. I highly recommend Dr. William because he truly cares about his patients. It was such a great atmosphere, wonderful, knowledgeable staff and especially a fantastic doctor.
Everyone at Atkinson is very caring and professional. They helped me pick out frames that looked good with my face and made recommendations. This is by far the Best eye care practice. So glad I found them.
I always get VIP treatment. The doctors and staff are super. I have some eye issues going on and Dr. Bill took the time to answer questions and provide info about every question I had. The staff is friendly, efficient and attentive. I’m getting frames this time and Ellen was so helpful it was as if I had brought a family member to help me pick out glasses. Thank you Atkinson Eye Care for you top notch service! D Loobey
Every single person we encountered at this practice was incredibly friendly and helpful! They have a very nice facility and use new technology. As two people who havent had their eyes checked in well over a decade, my husband and I are very impressed and happy with Atkinsons!
The best Optometrist in this area! They have very friendly and professional staff and optometrists. What I really like about this place is their equipment are all latest technology. This really makes it easy on young kids. My kids likes getting their eyes checked at Atkinson. I think its combination of their equipment and friendly team. Recently my daughter broke her glasses at school. I was surprised to hear it was covered under warranty and no cost to replace. They ordered exact frame my daughter owned overnight express, so we got her replacement glasses next day! Wow, Atkinson proactively took care of everything. I was pleasantly impressed with this entire process. I highly recommend Atkinson eye care.
Katie, Meg and Jenna are the best eye people in the world . Thanks for the glasses
My experience at Atkinson Eye Care has been quite wonderful as I have multiple eye conditions which require extra attention. The entire staff especially Dr. Bill has provided me with the necessary , professional care. I feel extremely fortunate to find such a caring, family oriented eye care team. I would highly recommend this provider.
Amazing service, you will love coming to Atkinson’s, no stuffy environment here.Staff was so helpful and familiar with all their products.Thank you Atkinson’s!
I have been going to Atkinson eye care for a few years after a referral from my sister. Today was the day, I got contacts! Their glasses selection has always been fantastic, and with a few simple questions and answers, the dr and the staff suggested contacts. For the first time in nearly 10+ years, I can see ! Thank you for the trial pair and answering all of my questions along with being patient with my children who go for their routine check ups. I will be back next week for a post check up to ensure the contacts are working out!
We have been with Atkinson Eye care for 15+ years. Dr. Bill and Dr. Elizabeth Atkinson are very knowledgeable and professional eye care specialists. They have a very well run and up to date office and their staff is outstanding. We like to support local businesses and we feel that Atkinson Eye Care is one of the best in Algonquin.
Who wants to go to the doctor for anything. Well at Atkinson Eye Care I had so much fun with the staff. Dr. Bills exam was awesome had a test done that I never had done before for macular health. Its nice to go into an office with people smiling. I will be back every year just to have fun!!! Love my new glasses!
My first experience with Atkinson office was when I walked in one morning with no appointment. My eyes beet red, swollen, itching and hurting. I had been seen by two other doctors with no results. I so needed help and answers. The staff was wonderful and understanding they set me up to see Doctor Bill Atkinson and after filling out paper I was in his office. After my exam he was helpful working with me with my insurance for meds. Even the next day when I called they were able to get me in again right away. I was so impressed with the service and care I would recommend them to my family and friends.
Brandy is a treasure…great service and great taste! Love my new glasses!😁
I cannot say enough good things about this place! I brought my VERY stubborn 2 year old I with the assumption she was having vision problems. Upon examination, my instincts were correct. The Dr was so patient and made the experience as kid friendly as possible as did the entie staff. My daughter was diagnosed being SEVERELY farsighted and had probably never had clear vision since birth. Dr. Bill fitted her for her purple glasses that make her a super hero princess!! Fast forward to our 2 month check In and today she was able to see with 20/20 vision while wearing her glasses. He changed my daughters life! If youre looking for an honest, trustworthy, caring Dr and staff this is the place to go!! 🤓😎
Extremely accommodating! They were able to squeeze me in at the last minute. Very friendly and personable staff. Doctor Atkinson was awesome and explained my prescription in detail. Definitely coming back!
My daughter needed new glasses and an updated eye exam today. It was a very pleasurable experience to work with the very friendly and caring people at Atkinson, and I really mean that. I highly recommend them for your eye care.
Awesome experience I am new to the area therefore looking for someone that makes me feel comfortable is important. The moment I walked in I was greated with a smile. I didnt have to wait over 10 minutes the entire staff was vert pleasant. Dr. Atkinson did a very precise exam they helped me choose just the right color contacts i had to get a second opinion and they didnt mind asking another employee which color looked the best. The office is decorated with beautiful artwork .i have found my new eye doctor thank you guys for making me feel special.Valerie. H.
I was seen by Dr Bill who took a lot of time with me and was very thorough. His staff was wonderful in tracking down my insurance information to be sure I got the most from my policy. They were also fun and included everyone, including other patients, in helping me pick my pretty new frames. I highly recommend this office.
Thank you all the staff at Atkinson Eye Care!! Your staff is always so kind and helpful. I truly appreciate your help during this time to get my glasses replaced that were eaten by our puppy, thank you Kim!! Keep up the great work and stay healthy!!
Awesome staff!!...Thank you to Lexie, Melissa and Brandy for making my visit so much fun...Thank you to Dr. Elizabeth for making my eye test so comfortable..cant wait to go back and pick up my glasses!!
First time visit and was pleased with the level of care. The office staff was pleasant and Dr. Atkinson was very helpful. He explained my condition and reviewed several options. He promoted a more natural method of relieving my condition, which I appreciated. So far, so good and based on this first visit experience, I would recommend Dr. Atkinson to others.
Brandy did an awesome job working with me to complete my Maui Jim order.
Went to Atkinson Eye Care for the first time.It was a great experience.Everyone was so nice and you can tell they all enjoy what they do.Thank you to Dr. Bill, Meg & Brandy.
Everyone here is so very nice and patient, the doctor is very professional, knowledgable and kind.Sam and Ellen are so much fun, while choosing frames, they make it so painless. Even with a very picky indecisive person like me, they managed to make it fun. I’m not kidding, I was having too much fun picking out frames... I had Almost everyone working helping me choose the best frames..!Best place for eye exam, and eye glasses, by far!!!
Fantastic provider. Very professional and evèryone is always focused on taking care of your needs. State of the art equipment and great selection of frames. 10 plus rating. Highly recommend!
I have been going to Atkinson Eye Care for a few years. I see Dr Bill who always fits me with the correct prescription eyewear. I wear multifocal contacts and progressive lenses. They use upto date technology for testing the health of your eyes. Wonderful staff. Well trained I highly recommend them to trust your eyes.
Awesome place, awesome staff, from reception to the technicians to the doctors to the sales people. Great selection for frames, lenses, contacts, and other vision needs. I had a more one on one experience with Dr. Bill, Ellen, and Renee (I think thats how her name is spelled. Its pronounced Rainy). I felt very comfortable and felt like I was being educated to be empowered to make my own decision rather than being told what to get. Ellen was very helpful in helping me select my frames and everything else I wanted. In the end, we were conflicted between two frames, so the ladies behind the desk helped with the tie breaker. And Ill put this out there since its a concern for me and others who may look different from the societal norms, but the way I dress and look, you can clearly tell my religion and culture, and Ive been to businesses where Ive felt uneasy because I clearly wasnt welcomed there, but I felt very accepted and welcomed by everyone in this office, and they have done a great job creating an inclusive environment. This is my new eye care place moving forward, and I am really looking forward to working with these folks in the future.- Ashur Khan (aka Joe, Ellen will get this joke)
Always a pleasure to visit. Doctors and staff are very friendly and put you at ease. Drs. Atkinson are up to the minute in technology. I have been a patient of this practice for many years and have never been disappointed.
An eye exam may have saved my Dads life! Dr. Atkinson took a photo of the inside of my Dads eye. This photo revealed that my Dad possibly had high blood pressure or diebetes. My Dad went to the doctor and found out his blood pressure was dangerously high.My Dad was impressed by all the details of his exam and said hes never seen better. My Dad has problems with his eyes and other doctors just couldnt seem to get his glasses prescription right. Atkinson got it right. Ive been going to Atkinson for about 8 years and recommend them to everyone!
Atkinson Eye goes the extra mile! The staff is friendly and professional and Dr. Elizabeth is kind and knowledgeable. Appreciate the warm and positive atmosphere!
Everyone at Atkins is very professional and friendly. My husband and I have been coming here for a few years and are very happy with the doctors and staff. They also have an excellent choice in frames and work well with our insurance.
They are really nice. Brandy helped me pick out my glasses. She is really good at her job and quickly found frames that I love! Highly recommend her!
I’ve been seeing both Becky and Bill Atkinson for years. Wanting To surgically correct my eyes since I’ve needed glasses/contacts, they recommended LASIK with Dr. Probst at TLC In Westchester. After the consultation I booked the procedure the soonest possible date I could. I was in and out of that office in an hour and less than 5-10 minutes in the actual room getting the LASIK done. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made, I get asked often, is it worth it? ABSOLUTELY! I see better now than I ever did with contacts. Westchester is a slight haul for me but you’re only there for the consultation then the actual procedure itself, all follow up appointments are with Dr. Atkinson. I can’t thank Dr. Atkinson’s enough for the referral.
I wish I could write something new that hasnt already been said by so many of the other previous reviews. Theyre all true, in spades. Friendly staff, extremely competent medical professionals, and the newest and latest in medical optical technology. Very impressive. If you live within 25 miles of their office, there is no reason to go to any other eye doctors office. You WILL come away impressed!
Have been a patient here for many years. Dr. Elizabeth is knowledgeable and easy to talk with. Staff is very pleasant and professional. Usually not a long wait to get an appointment and almost always run on time. Have a large selection of frames and options.
Excellent staff!! On quite a busy day we were in and out with ease!! Great group of employees eager to help you find the right glasses for you!
I’ve been seeing Dr. Atkinson since I was 4 years old. Wouldn’t want anyone else to take care of my eyes! All of the staff that works with him are super friendly and very helpful! I always have the best visits with them.☺️
Everyone was wonderful and so helpful!! I’m so glad I stopped in today . This will be my eye care office . I got my money’s worth and some !! Make this your best decision!! Great service and great people and a great big display of different And designer eye wear .
I called to get my son in for an emergency eye exam. They got my son in right away and the doctor was able to get a piece of white fleck out of his eye giving him INSTANT relief. I decided to make my boys eye exam appointments before I left there office. Not only are they close to home but the staff is AMAZING!!!!!
I needed an urgent appointment when businesses were closing due to the pandemic. I was able to get a same day appointment, I saw both doctors over the course of a few visits. They were great, friendly, efficient and detailed.
I highly recommend this place. Everyone is very nice and I have nothing bad to say about the whole experience. Brandy was super helpful with picking out frames. I went here because of the good reviews, and they weren’t wrong. Very happy I came here. Thanks!
Had an awesome experience with the staff and Dr. Patel. Melissa was great she worked with me prior to pandemic, and also made sure I was scheduled once lockdown was over. I would recommend this company to everyone!

Love this place. Great service and staff !
Very professional explained my options clearly
Such great service.
This place is awesome!
Dr. Atkinson visited my Dad at his senior living community which was greatly appreciated as he is bed bound. He was tremendously patient, helpful, and courteous. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything in an understandable way. Reasonably priced, extremely thorough and friendly! Would definitely recommend!
Cant say enough about the level of care that we received at this office. My husband needed an emergency visit with extreme eye pain and this office is the only one out of about 15 phone calls that we made not only showed concern, but fit him in. The staff and doctor are not only professional, but fantastic, and gave immediate care to help in a time of need when we werent even existing patients. They not only efficiently treated the issue but did it with such a caring manor.

2022-02-26Dr. Patel and his assistant Ola we’re amazing during my eye exam. Very thorough and really took the time to understand my vision experience to then provide me with the proper lens and contacts. Best exam experience I’ve ever had!Brandy was also amazing in helping me select my frames! She selected options that she felt would look good with my face shape and the look I was going for and I was able to find two pairs to fit my work life and personal life! This was the fasted frame selection process I’ve ever had as well!All in all, I truly recommend Atkinson Eye Care if you want efficient, friendly service and expertise in optometry!Amazing job to the entire crew there!

2022-05-14Atkinson Eye Care has been wonderful to work with. They worked with me until I was fully satisfied with my glasses and contacts. When I was not totally happy with the color of my new frames, they allowed me to change it to a different color at no extra charge. Brandy and Meg were so very helpful with everything, and Dr. Jay was super.

2022-04-08Cindy was so very helpful in picking out just the right frames that would be best for my prescription. My new glasses look great and I’m very happy with the results!Just picked up my new prescription sunglasses. Once again, Cindy helped me pick out a great frame and I took advantage of the discount price for my second pair.I’ve been going to Atkinson for many, many years and this current experience was one of the best!

2022-08-04Dr. Jay was wonderful at my last eye exam appointment. I feel like he listens and treats me as an individual, not a number. Kathryn was also most helpful in helping me find frames that would suit me.I always have a pleasant experience when I come to Atkinson Eye Care.

2022-03-15Ive been coming to Atkinson Eye Care since I was little. As a healthcare provider who focuses on detail, my eyesight is paramount. Dr. Atkinson and her husband have always be amazing. Dr. Patel was also great. They know how to run an eyecare center! Brandy and Meg were pretty good too... I guess. Just kidding, they were fantastic and entertaining!

2022-04-20Our low vision specialist was unavailable and Meg at Atkinson Eyecare encourage my disabled brother to come in and see what couldn’t be done in the absence of his regular care!!! It was amazing!! Meg was able to hear him and create solid solutions!! Thanks for caring for everyone!!! I have been using Atkinson Eyecare for about 10 years and my brother still needs his separate care, but WOW!!! Thanks again so very much!! Every staff with or without the doctors knows their trade and work for solutions!! #1 They just care!!

2022-02-25I have been wearing my new computer glasses and they have been life-changing! My eyes are no longer strained and tired after a long day of staring at computer monitors! Everything is so clear including my laptop monitor, my large monitors and I can read printed documents clearly. It was a struggle to wear progressives while on my computer but these new lenses have changed everything! I highly recommend them! Thank you Dr. Atkinson for suggesting these lenses!
