Report
I came as a new patient and I was so impressed. The location is beautiful, they have a huge selection of eyewear, including for children. The staff was happy, helpful and the Dr was very thorough and trustworthy. I noticed that the Dr, and others worked together to provide me less expensive options than the contacts I have been wearing (which are very pricey dailies). They didnt have to do that, and I didnt ask them to. I highly recommend!

Dr. Lutz and his staff are exceptional! My son's glasses have broken twice, and both times they have not hesitated to immediately fix them. Their new office is absolutely gorgeous and everyone is extremely friendly. I highly recommend Wendell Eye Care.

This was my first time to go to Wendell Eye Care, and they were strongly recommended. Everyone was friendly, professional, and helpful. Dr. Lutz didn't seem to be in a hurry and explained my eye problems thoroughly. I am very pleased with the service that I received.
