Recent reviews mention that the staff is friendly and efficient, and that the doctors, such as Dr. Joshua, are fantastic with children, making checkups stress-free. Patients appreciate the knowledgeable and informative care provided by the doctors. However, some feedback indicates that the optical department has faced challenges lately, with opticians sometimes appearing unfriendly and not well qualified. There have been issues with glasses prescriptions, including incorrect measurements and delays in getting proper lenses. Despite these concerns, many still find the practice to be a good choice for eye care, especially for family visits and pediatric appointments.
Reviews
I love going to Alderwood Vision Source for my eye care. Whether it's a routine check up or a new issue, Dr. McKinney always takes time to hear me and then make suggestions for me.
The staff in front and in the optical department are always friendly and helpful too. I would not hesitate to recommend this clinic to anyone needing eye care.
Noticed a change in my vision and scheduled an appointment within a week. They were able to tell me it was not a big problem, simply a common change.
Ordered new glasses with new prescription. Glasses were ready for pick up within 10 days.
Had I known blue/computer glasses would have eased eye strain, I’d have done this sooner.
