Dr. Katz and the staff at Advanced Vision Center have given my family stellar care for the past couple of years. Dr. Katz herself is a very knowledgable, caring doctor who has provided me with more than just vision care. I have relied on her expertise to see me through(no pun intended) a rather serious eye problem that I had previously only trusted an eye surgeon to care for. She has proven herself to be a more thorough and caring provider than the specialist! The staff at AVC is super nice and one of the women who works in the reception area(forgot her name) is especially knowledgable about insurance — a rare find these days! The waiting area is small and comfy, with complimentary coffee, TV, and magazines. There is never a very long wait. I do not feel overly pressured with sales pitches to purchase glasses or lenses here, which is refreshing. That said, I did purchase glasses for my child, who is very picky and actually found a pair to their liking. On top of all that, this facility has state-of-the art machinery for testing your eyes.(How cool to see a picture of the inside of your own eyeball!)

I have purchased 5 pair of glasses/sunglasses for myself and my family at Advanced Vision and could not imagine going anywhere else for my vision needs. There selection is terrific, the prices are reasonable and the staff is very professional. I highly recommend Advanced Vision Center!!!

This was my first visit with Dr. Katz. She was very professional and courteous. She knew exactly what I needed and what was the problem with my vision. The staff is very friendly and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Katz and her staff, and I can’t imagine myself going anywhere else.

Absolutely LOVE my new glasses from here(See pictures!) Trying to get a collection of different glasses to wear with different outfits and this place is perfect for that! AVC has a variety of styles and brands that I can choose from and their customer service is phenomenal. I’m pretty picky and can spend hours trying to decide between frames and they were 100% cool with it AND they were so helpful! This was my second visit and they certainly didn’t disappoint. Amazing doctor, frames and staff. I’m coming back for sure!

When I moved into the area a few years ago I went on the search for a new eye doctor. Although, this place isn’t too close I am very glad I gave them a try, and its totally worth the drive each time. The entire staff is fantastic, in fact Dr. Katz is my favorite eye doctor, and this is from someone who has had 33 years of eye doctor visits. I also love how this place uses the latest and greatest technology. My recent trip I purchased a new pair of prescription sunglasses. Their prices are competitive and I they did an excellent job fitting them for me. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Purchased a voucher for Eyeglasses. When I went to use it, Dr Katz, without any discussion or permission, started doing a full-blown eye exam, instead of just the refraction for the eyeglass prescription. I stopped the doctor and told her very specifically that I was not there for that, I only wanted new eyeglasses. I immediately had to pay a fee for the exam for the glasses on the spot. In addition to the cost for the eyeglasses … which ended up costing over $ 500MORE in addition to the voucher, which was only for a small amount off of the frames, it turned out. Three months later, I find out they billed my insurance for a full exam, which I have had to contest and has resulted in a year-long dispute. Moreover, Advanced Vision Center had the gall to send me bills for the service for which I had paid at the time I had the exam and ordered the glasses — fortunately I still had the receipt and had to email and mailed them a copy of it. I do not appreciate their underhanded and cheating business practices and warn everyone to stay away. Do not get duped by the promotional discount voucher.

Went here for an eye exam when I needed to upgrade my prescription. Was very pleasantly surprised with Dr. Hargis, she was extremely thorough and patient and answered all my(admittedly annoying) questions. I normally wouldn’t write a review for an eye exam, but I have had several over the years, and was super impressed. The facility was nice, they had a good selection of glasses, and the doctor really took her time to help me get the perfect prescription and explain the pros and cons of different contact types. I am very happy with my new contacts!
