“I went to Gulf Coast eye center today for my annual checkup. The staff was helpful and efficient. The office is comfortable and has lots of frames to choose.”
“This optical store is truly a gem. From the moment you walk in, the experience feels more like visiting a five-star restaurant than shopping for eyeglasses.<br><br>Diana is warm, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to understand my lifestyle and was exceptionally helpful in selecting not only the right frames but, more importantly, the right lenses. Her expertise made the entire process easy and gave me complete confidence in my choices.<br><br>If you're looking for outstanding quality, exceptional customer service, and a genuine human connection, I highly recommend this optical store. It's rare to find this level of personalized care today.”

“This has been my best experience for accuracy and expertise as well as concern for my visual problems. Along with their patience and care, and great service.<br>Fatima and her doctor gave all the time needed and were always available to me.

“I woke up on a Friday morning with an eye infection. I called the office and they were so accommodating. They were able to get me in to see Dr Beck in the afternoon. She is the best.”
“Great experience! My first phone inquiry was a pleasure and they had an eye exam slot for the next day. When I arrived the staff member was wonderful to deal with and she took care of my initial short tests as is typical. Dr. Golden was very friendly, thorough and answered my questions clearly and provided lots of good information. Very happy with my overall experience and I will be returning for future exams and possibly some progressive glasses.”
“Great exam! Good info the young man that did the preliminary testing was very pleasant. Dr Fallon was very thorough but I wish he would have introduced himself when coming into the room.”
“This practice is phenomenal. I can’t say enough about Dr. Altman..never rushed, extremely thorough and takes the time to clearly explain things. The entire staff are so nice and welcoming. Forget the big box optometrists..this the best place around.”
“Dr. Sloan see’s my whole family. I trust her with my children’s eyesight since the first time I brought them as children and now their adults and they still go to her! My husband and I love the fact that she is an amazing eye doctor we would never go any place else!”
“I had an appointment with Dr. Brown to help me diagnose whether or not I needed a yak procedure after cataract surgery. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. She was very thorough professional, and gave me excellent advice.. I would highly recommend Dr. Brown.”
“The ladies up front were so kind! I went in for a last minute contact exam and they were so accommodating. Dr. Durante was amazing and had me in and out so fast! He got me set up with a pair of trial lenses that he put in for me and I was all set!”
“My wife needed some help with her vision. She works long hours and wasn't able to make the appointment cut off. So they offered to stay late so she can get across town and be seen. Very professional and helpful. Can't thank the Doctor and her staff enough for the special treatment my wife received. I would recommend them to everyone in need of eye care.”
“Dr. Shotwell is great, and the entire staff is the best! This was my first visit to the office, and they treated me like family. Will be a regular here from now on, and will be looking to bring the whole family over too! Happy i finally found an eye doctor in the area I really like! Thank you Shotwell family!”
“Came here in a pitch when my nephew broke my glass while on vacation. He came out and greeted us and said he would do what he could. He got me frames that would last until I got home. We asked how much when everything was said and done and he said “I just try to help when I can don’t worry about it” that left us completely speechless. 10/10 would recommend!!”
“I went to look at glasses and when I got there it wasn’t very crowded. I took a number and started looking at the selection of glasses, they have a great selection!<br>One of the Licensed Opticians Karin Jacob’s was very good. She helped me find a few different pairs and gave me her opinion about what looked the best<br>I ended up buying two pairs, one transition, no line bifocals and a pair of sunglasses<br>Very reasonably priced and I will have them in 7 - 10 days<br>So glad I went there, great service, great selection and very affordable”
“I went into Visionworks after purchasing 2 pairs of glasses from another optical store. I had to have both of my pairs remade and they still weren't right. The optician Collen Austin took her time and carefully measured and fitted me with great frames. The lenses were progressive and transition and she educated me on progressive lenses since they were new to me. I can see great now and learned a lot about frame sizes and fitment. I highly recommend Visionworks in Lakewood Ranch and suggest visiting Colleen if you're having problems with your current glasses.”
“Very professional and friendly. Good at identifying problems and recommending solutions.”
