Pickerington Eye Care

I went there last year because try could get me and my husband in when we needed...initial experience was great. This year had been HORRIBLE. I had an appointment scheduled the day a big storm came through in early July, knocking out power in many areas throughout Columbus and knocking down power lines in Pickerington, causing a huge traffic jam. After being stuck on I70 for over 2 hours of trying to get to my appointment I had to call and reschedule my appointment....earliest opening was a month later. The week of that appointment I was sick/contagious so I called to reschedule so I wouldn't get anyone else sick. The office staff was so rude and flat out refused to reschedule me becausebInwas forced to "cancel" the July appointment.. I had to threaten to find another doctor, etc. before they would give me an appointment....a month and a half later!! I called today to confirm my prescription because if headaches/blurred vision and was informed that I ha cancelled my appointment toward the end of next month-which I most certainly had not! Now they can't get me in until the second week in October?! I'm going back to Southwest Eyecare in Grove City...at least the service there is worth the drive! more

After posting a request for a recommended eye Dr., on Facebook. I had several friends recommend Pickerington Eye Care Center. And now I will do the same ;) I had a very good experience there. I thought the front staff was friendly and professional to me and my daughter. (I did not see ANY rudeness like the previous reviewer). The girl who did the testing before the eye exam was very nice,knowlegable, and engaged my daughter (8 y/o) the whole time. We were taken back for our exams at the scheduled time. (no waiting). I like the small town feel to the office, and staff. (Unlike walmart, where they kept losing my Rx, and called me several different times to come in, when my contacts were NOT in...but that is another story). Dr. Tracy actually caught something in my daughters eyes, that other eye doctors had overlooked. She had been having blurry vision at school, and through a detailed (and lengthy exam) he determined it was NOT her actual vision that was a problem, but the 'strength/ movement' of her eyes. News to me!! No wonder previous glasses were not working. Dr. Tracy set us up on a vision therapy program, and things are getting a little better for her. PS. To my surprise the cost for my contacts was actually LOWER than what Walmart quoted me! I will definitely be coming back. more

The office staff are rude. The doctor bad-mouthed another optical center, which is unprofessional. more

This office only has two Doctors so you are not overwhelmed with trying to figure out who you want to see. They have fast and friendly service and evening appoints a few nights per week and are open every other Saturday. The selection of frames is decent and the turn around time to get them back from the lab is under one week. I was pleased to leave the appointment with my year's supply of contacts. Most places, you have to order those too. If you don't have vision insurance, then check the paper and fliers for coupons. more
