I love the doctors at this location! They are very professional and they take good care of their patients. I feel though, as a business, they seem more interested in money than actually helping people. My last appointment alone cost me close to $1,000 before insurance but when I ask for my prescription, they will only give me my partial prescription and hide the rest behind another paywall. The full prescription is already in my chart, already measured, and already accessible to everyone in the business. But I cannot have my OWN prescription unless I give them more money. I asked them why this is and I was told it's because another place could make my glasses wrong.... read full review

I have been going to Illinois Eyecare Center for over ten years. I used to see Dr Morgan but he retired. I then started to see Dr Assell.Dr Assell is very nice, personable and I feel comfortable with him. When I was new to contacts, I got a few samples to try at home. Each year Dr Assell seems to know my eyes and if adjustments are needed with my prescription. The office has a large selection of designer frames. The staff is always friendly. Luckily I have VSP insurance because glasses and contacts can be expensive.

I had a wonderful experience at Illinois Eye Care Center! Dr. Thakkar is the best optometrist I've ever worked with and I will definitely return for her. She made some wonderful recommendations and the billing department helped me get it all billed to my medical insurance because of the needs I had.She then referred me to Dr. Assell for scleral lenses. Dr. Assell was great to work with as well. Very knowledgeable, very friendly.
