Sarah Y. - Jun 11, 2026
I went to this office because of the good reviews on Google and because a neighbor had recommended i... t. I live in oak Forest and had never noticed that this was located across the street from the Krogers I go to. Since I have a newborn, it was easy to leave home and go to the office quickly. From the moment I got to the office I was greeted professionally and received a packet that was transparent about prices. Even with my baby crying I felt comfortable nursing. My baby in the waiting room and the staff were kind. Jasmine took me to the back room and watched me through a series of exams and used the various machines to scan my eyes. She prepared me and answered any questions about each of the testing processes. She was very cordial and professional. Then I saw Dr. Turner. She was also very thorough and understanding to let me take my time if the baby cried or needed a diaper change during the exam. She answered any questions and thoroughly explained my retinal scans. When I was done. I wasn't pressured into buying glasses. My prescription hadn't changed in the past 1 to 2 years. Roberto, help check me out and I was pleased that the price was exactly what I expected and very reasonable. Roberto asked what I would like to do for glasses and left it at that. No sales pitch. Just a question and then he made sure that I was comfortable and I could easily get to my car from the office with my baby in tow. I'll definitely come back to this office again in the future. Thank you! Great service, thorough exams, and convenient location!

Dr. Turner and her team are top-notch! They were relaxed, professional, and knowledgeable; I felt ve... ry comfortable. The long wait made it a slightly negative experience. As an MA, I understand running behind. However, I selected the first visit of the day, not realizing my appointment was scheduled before clinic started. Although I arrived nearly 30 minutes early, I checked in late and received a text to reschedule. I got to keep my appointment, but I’d recommend removing any visits outside of your business hours. And perhaps the first spots should be reserved for existing patients who don’t have to fill out new patient paperwork. Even though I was there from opening to lunchtime, I was very happy with the care.
