I had a great experience at my first Wilmington Eye appointment today. Wait time was minimal. All the staff were so pleasant; polite, and informative.service with a smile! Crystal and Dr. Spring's nurse were awesome. they explained each test as it was performed. The staff took care to maintain office and equipment hygiene. Dr. Springs was skilled, courteous, and I appreciated the thorough exam/tests I received as well as the time Dr. Springs took to explain the summary of my visit. Thank you for a pleasant appointment! I look forward to my next visit!

These folks are totally tone deaf to customer service. Left them 20 years ago, then they bought our opthalmologist and screwed them up! Time doesn't heal all! DO NOT USE THEM!

I so wish I had met Dr. Geerts when I first moved to Wilmington 6 years ago. She is, truly, one of the most thorough Optometrists I have ever met. She spoke to me in layman's terms; she explained more to me about my eyes during that one visit than any doctor had taken the time to explain in all prior years combined. She was understanding and compassionate, two traits which I find are often lacking today. Although she spoke with complete confidence, it was obvious she was also listening to me and was responding to any of my questions at my non professional level. I cannot thank her enough.

Have seen multiple doctors/specialist now within Wilmington Eye. There entire staff at any location I have been to, are some of the best. They have you the patient in their best interest to and want to help you. As for the doctors on staff, Dr. Kelly, Watson, and Springs have provided the utmost care for me. Each one has taken the time to help me understand the issues I have with my eyes and want to set-up my impending cataract surgery to be the best they can do so that I can have the best outcome from this surgery. Bravo to all!

We've been going to this office for few years, my only complaint is the fitting fee charged for contact lenses- I understand a fitting fee for first timers but a recurrent charge in a yearly visit makes no sense- there's no need to meet again with a specialist to go over care of contact lenses and even the nurses couldn't explain the reason for the fee other that it's not covered by insurance companies.
And the last two times that I have gotten my contact lenses, one the prescription was mistaken and the second time the right and left lenses were mislabeled- so again a fitting charge when even prescriptions can be delivered correctly- just makes no sense. In the last two visits I had to pay 125 for myself and 125 for my daughter- I normally don't leave reviews in Google but since it's been asked and again I didn't get an answer only a Bill to pay.
