I arrived 30 min early. There was no one in the waiting room; however, there were patients in the back. I was able to fill out new patient info on my phone, which was very easy. The receptionist, Taneshia was very polite and professional. I was called quickly and the exam began. The tech, Gabby was also professional, approachable and demonstrated pleasant patience with me. Dr. Alspar is also very professional, thorough, and explains using Layman's terms. Overall it was an enjoyable visit, yet I do need bifocals. I highly recommend St. Luke Eye Institute / 9th Ave Optical.

3.5 to 4 star review. The doctors and staff of on the optometry side are friendly and very efficient with timing and patience. But when it comes to the store that is inside of the clinic they upcharge over insurance costs by 30 to 40%. They give you a price while you're browsing for frames but when it comes to them telling you the total is higher.

I have been a patient for over 25 years and would not consider changing. Dr Lipshy has provided excellent care, knowledge and concern for my eye care. Due to Lupus and the needed medication my eye care is very complicated and I appreciate having a great doctor and staff at St . Luke Eye Institute!
