Dr. Gordon and the staff at Family Eye Center are the best. They have taken good care of my eyes. And I have gotten some great glasses. Thank you for everything. Blessings too.

I lost my glasses and Family Eye Care got me an appointment the very next day. Their prices were extremely reasonable (they also take certain Medicaid and many insurance plans). Everyone was very kind. Masks must be worn and there is a cute hand sanitizer station at the door. The nurse took an in-depth patient history, including family history and medication I take. Dr. Anthony Lamar took my his time with my exam and answered all of my questions. I opted for a contact lens exam too, and the ladies were so patient on my 12+ attempts to insert my contacts! I was sent home with 4 boxes of contacts

I love Family Eyecare. My daughters have been going here for a few years now and the service has ALWAYS been impeccable! Staff is always friendly and professional. It's never a long wait. We're always in and out with both kids within an hour. My kids love their selection of eyeglasses. Dr. Gordon is awesome and we don't plan on going anywhere to see anyone else any time soon!

I switched to Dr. Lamar about a year ago and I have no regrets! I love his staff, especially his assistant, Stormy. She is always so helpful and nice! The office's atmosphere is another reason I'm happy he's my eye doctor. I bring my kids here as well and they seem to enjoy it!
