The best experience I've ever had! Everyone, from the front desk to the doctor to the nice man who helped me pick my glasses, were very kind and informative. I had an appointment and didn't have to wait long to be taken back. Everything was explained to me as we went. No questions left unanswered. Doctor's assistants were very caring and thoughtful. The doctor asked me thorough questions to make sure my prescription was what I needed.
The man who helped me pick out my glasses explained everything my insurance covered (which was nice!) and didn't try to upsell me. Gave me freedom to roam and look around and asked questions to make sure I got a good fit. This was a very pleasant experience for me and my prescription is perfect! I can see haha I almost started crying when I came home to show my partner that I can finally see. Will definitely be coming back for future exams and glasses!

The optometrists at Edmonds Eye Care are fantastic. This rating is for the group that provides the frames and lenses. Unfortunately, their sense of customer service is in the toilet. I'm really not sure why these great doctors keep that frames business around. I got glasses a couple years ago and I was treated like I was inconveniencing them. The lady who serviced me kept rolling her eyes every time I asked a question.
The next time I got glasses I went somewhere else. I thought I'd try them again, so I ordered glasses. The person who fitted me was new but he was very nice. Now I can only pick up glasses on the weekend. It's too difficult to get away from work. A Google search shows them open on Saturday so all is good, right? Now I find out that only the doctors are in on Saturday! The people who fit you for glasses can't be inconvenienced to work on Saturday. Does that group understand anything about customer service?! It sure doesn't seem like it.

My husband's eyesight declined rapidly last week, and we are new to the area. By luck, mostly by proximity, we called Edmonds Eye Care Associates and got an appointment very quickly with Dr. Stoebner. He couldn't have been more wonderful. He was attentive and supportive. After many test over 2 hours, he told us gently and clearly that the problems was not in my husband's eyes, but in his brain.
He made a follow up appointment with him and a referral to a neuro ophthalmologist. He couldn't have been kinder. He gave us so much time and answered every question thoughtfully. At the end, we told him how much trouble we were having finding a doctor, and he walked us downstairs to a Virginia Mason family practice and asked them to make appointments for us, which they did. His whole staff was friendly, competent and compassionate. We feel we couldn't have found a better eye doctor.

Went in there on 7/23 to fill new prescription and received no acknowledgment after saying hello to the Eyecare Staff. They just stared at me and went about their conversation and had no customers. I went to the reception desk and the lady was very nice and said to have a seat. After 5 minutes, the eyecare staff said I needed an appointment so after booking appointment, they said see you then and went about their conversation again. I didn't feel welcomed at all by them so I'm opting to go elsewhere. Such a shame because I was referred to them by my Doctor whom I will be notifying as well.
