Even if you don't live in this area, it's worth the drive! Great people who are knowlegable, reasonable and very helpful! It's refreshing to do business with a company where they listen to your needs, and go out of their way to try to meet them. I'm a fan of being treated like a person and not just a source of profit. :)

This was my first time to the eye Dr in a few years and I must say that I was delighted. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The Dr was very knowledgeable and personable, moreso than any other place I'd ever been. I didn't have to wait at all and in fact was seen slightly early. I would highly recommend Alachua Family Eye Care. Will definitely be going back!!

My wife and I both went to see Dr. Avondo for our annual eye exam. We both believe this to be the most thorough eye exam we have ever received. The staff was friendly and professional. I also had the opportunity to utilize the services of the Optician. Sabal was very helpful in assisting with picking out the correct frames and has been fantastic in getting my new glass to fit correctly. I would highly recommend for any of your future needs for both eye care and glasses.

Great to have them in Alachua - glasses were ready sooner than expected. Love that they are connected with Dr. Khuddus who we see for specialty concerns.
