Excellent as always! This clinic does everything right and I can't overstate how much I've enjoyed being a patient of CFV. Outstanding customer service is a hallmark of this group and includes everyone from front desk staff, to techs and physicians, and to the folks who help you select and size your glasses. A++ for the personnel and professionalism. As a patient the process is easy. They have flexible scheduling and efficient appointments with caring and knowledgeable providers. Prices are reasonable.
Only thing that could be improved is the turnaround time for prescription lenses takes about 2-3 weeks as they outsource them which is pretty standard practice. Sue helped us today and we loved working with her! She paid so much attention to every detail making certain we had exactly what we were looking for. Thanks Sue and all of CFV, you guys are awesome!

I'm new to Carrboro Family Vision and had my first visit today. Having been in and out of ophthalmologist offices all my life, it's important to find a place that feels like a good fit. The front desk staff was friendly, David the technician was wonderful, I appreciated Dr. Stiegemeier's direct and engaging energy, and lastly the fantastic lady that helped me pick out my new frames was friendly and very knowledgeable (I feel terrible that her name escapes me right now!) I'm looking forward to going back already because it feels like I'm in good hands with this team of people.

Everyone from the front desk, to the person performing the exam, to Dr. Moss is amazing here. They are so helpful, knowledgeable and warm and I'm so happy I finally found an eye doctor I'm not nervous to go to. Thank you so much! You make a big difference for people.

I did not have an eye doctor prior to a vision emergency that I recently experienced. I called their office as a first time patient and they were able to work me in the same morning. From the initial phone call to the exam, I experienced top notch customer service. Upon arrival, I was greeted by very friendly and knowledgeable staff and a vibrant atmosphere. Dr. Stiegemeier conducted a thorough exam, provided a diagnosis and treatment plan. I was blown away by their service and I look forward to working with them.
