Polite, courteous, attentive and professional staff of employees. Nice, clean and comfortable building with plenty of seating in the eye doctor waiting area, with a big screen television. Nice line of eyewear to choose from, with helpful staff making sure you like the fit of your new glasses. Large parking area and an eye surgery building next door.

I was greeted professionally, and experienced very little wait time before my appointment. The technician who ran my pre-test exams was very friendly and explained each test. The facilities were very clean and comfortable. My eye doctor, Dr. Sobin, was very personable, and he didn't rush through his time with me. He was very thoughtful & thorough in his explanation of my diagnosis.

Just got my lasik eye surgery done with gailey eye clinic in Bloomington and every employee I had an encounter with was very professional. Equipment was very advanced, most I have never been tested with before. My surgery was uncomfortable but very quick and precise and they did everything to make it as pleasant as possible. Everything was incredibly clean and the waiting room was very hospitable. Communication and instructions from staff were very clear and replies were timely, especially with Courtney! Thanks Gailey eye clinic for getting me out of glasses for good!

In spite of having to wear a paper mask, I felt comfortable dealing with staff. Very pleasant people checked me in. I didn't wait long for Shelly to greet me and run through their comprehensive testing prior to seeing the doctor. Dr. Sobin was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He covered the findings of my testing and ordered another test to rule out glaucoma.

I was then introduced to Kaylee who helped me explore my options for new glasses or new lenses in my existing frames. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience. I felt my eyecare needs were met promptly, efficiently and professionally. I highly recommend Gailey.

It has been a year since my Cataract removal. In the middle of the pandemic they handled the process professionally. The care they give the patients is outstanding. Well worth the two packages of chocolates I gave them.

I was referred here from my school health services so I was a new patient but they made the health history stuff really easy! There wasn't any lengthy paperwork and the assistant I was with was super friendly when asking about my patient history and other information. I didn't have to wait very long to be seen either which is a plus! I was very impressed with how nice and spacious the office is, though it is a little bit of a maze. Overall very satisfied and impressed, and look forward to returning.

The technician who did my eye tests was friendly, Knowledgeable, and was easy to understand and work with. The doctor was also friendly, courteous and explained things ver well. The optometrist was very helpful and knowledgeable about my insurance and what I wanted. Accommodated me extremely well! I love Gailey Eye Clinic!

I had a wonderful eye exam at Gailey Eye Clinic! They were so helpful and explained every part of the process as we went along. The staff was kind, curious, and educational every step of the way! I absolutely recommend them to anyone! You can trust your eyes with Gailey!

I have been a patient at Gaileys for over 20 years. Visits are always efficient and prompt. My glasses have always been spot on when I receive them and they are very responsive if anything needs adjusted or fixed like the time I sat on my glasses and twisted with all my weight during yoga class Doctors and support staff are always knowledgeable and friendly too. Excellent in every way!

I have always been impressed with both the professional expertise and the human kindness of everyone at Gailey Eye Clinic. I have been going to Gailey since I got my first pair of glasses when I was about 6 or 7. I was fitted with contact lenses when I was in high school, and continued my yearly check-ups there for decades. I just recently had cataract surgery and could not have asked for better doctors, nurses, and office staff. I am thrilled to be able to type this 5-star review seeing my screen in sharp focus without glasses for the first time in over 50 years!

It's a month after cataract surgery & multifocal lens implants! So far I can see without glasses. Sometimes it's a challenge to read in low light. I still see rings around lights outside, after dark, especially car lights. It looks like bulls eye as seen on a target. I'm told it takes time for my brain & my eyes to get the message that I don't need glasses anymore. Sometimes I absentmindedly reach up to adjust my glasses

Worthless! Made an appt for an eye exam. They ended up billing my health insurance stating it was a medical visit without even having a diagnosis yet! They have yet to confirm a medical reasoning for their claim. We actually go back for another eye exam to determine the actual diagnosis! Go else where

The team at Gailey Eye Clinic has been my primary eyecare office for many years and my time doing LASIK was definitely no exception to the excellent care they've provided. Ray had previously walked me through the process when my partner had the procedure, so I was already very familiar with how things worked; he made sure that all of my questions were answered (and I had a lot of questions). Dr. Harmon and his team were professional and efficient.

During the procedure, Dr. Harmon counted down the time during the process, let me know how each step would proceed, and the whole team made me comfortable during the entire procedure. I would suggest that anyone looking at laser vision correction contact Gailey Eye Clinic to find out more about the process and get your questions answered.

I had major anxiety and stress of getting Lasik, but I still wanted to do it! I've been wearing glasses since 2nd grade. I just got Lasik done nearly two months and I'd have to say it is the most painless procedure. It was definitely worth it! Dr. Halpern did an amazing job and Ray does a great job at your consult appoint to inform you of everything you need to know and yes, this includes all those crazy questions like, "Can I go blind from getting Lasik?" I have three other siblings who wear glasses and I have convinced them to get Lasik as well.

I can not emphasize how this procedure has changed my life. The procedure itself was about 6 minutes and completely painless! Stop watching YouTube videos and stop doubting, and just do it!

Horrible clinic I must say. I 'supposedly' had a visit 6 years ago according to them, and it resulted in a balance of $100. I am not aware of the balance until PanAm, a collection agency, repeatedly harass me with calls. Apparently they did not bother to let me know that the insurance did not go through for 6 YEARS, and conveniently let it stay there as outstanding for the whole time.

Apparently it negatively affect my credit record with an outstanding 'collection'. When I call in to ask why, they didn't have much to say and only care about getting the money. Whatever, I decided to make the payment because I dont want to deal w any further BS. Despite that, the lady at Billing was showing attitude (really?!?) with her condescending tone "Yesss. Yes Yes.". urghhh. Really?

I absolutely recommend having lasiks done here. Ray walks you through everything and answers any question that you ask. Everything in that office runs smoothly and I'm really happy with the success of my surgery. It's the greatest feeling walking in with glasses and walking out without.

I had my initial Lasik consultancy with Ray in September 2017 or so. In December, I had my Lasik done. I am now a month and a half post op done. I will say it is one of the most life changing experiences ever, and that if you're on the border, you should definitely make the jump and get it done. Ray did an amazing job of explaining the procedure to me, even though I get very queasy when hearing medical stuff.

From there, the pre-op was pretty painless, and the facility was the nicest eye doctor's office I've ever seen. All the staff I dealt with were friendly and memorable, and the waiting area downstairs comes with some snacks and drinks. On the day of surgery, it went way quicker than I expected, and the machines definitely seemed top of the line.

You get to mingle a little bit with the other people having Lasik done in the pre/post surgery room in these huge comfy chairs which is definitely a plus and calms you down beforehand. I was able to see right out of the surgery, and it was mind blowing. Ray did tell me initially that I would need a lot of refresh drops (he mentioned 3 boxes for the first week or so).

I would amend this by saying that you should go to Target (cheapest I've found) and buy one $20 box of 70 refresh vials about 2 weeks before, pull out the coupons that are in the box, go back a week later, buy 2 more boxes with the coupons, and then the day before your surgery buy another 2 boxes. This will leave you with 5 boxes, or 350 vials, by the day of your surgery.

You will use every last one of them plus more. Overall, Gailey Eye Clinic did a great job, and I've recommended them to several people interested in Lasik that I know in person. You will not be disappointed.

I am SO HAPPY about my new eyes and my new life! I had such an amazing experience getting Lasik done at Gailey Eye Clinic. The surgery center is very clean, updated and stylish but more importantly the staff makes you feel right at home. I mean come on, what other place makes you delicious homemade cookies on surgery day? Everyone is very friendly and they made me feel very comfortable during my Lasik surgery because they were very open in communicating everything they were going to do and everything they were doing. I now have a new lease on life and would highly recommend this place to anyone!

I recently took my 81-year-old mother there to get her eye tested. The doctor (I think it was Halperin) briskly told her she has macular degeneration after spending five minutes with her. Told her nothing about the disease, offered no advice except don't drive at night. Didn't tell her what devices might help her see better. Didn't give her any options like shots or surgery or medication or vitamins. I am really disappointed especially since I have been a patient there for 7 years and been very happy with regular eye care and Lasik. Shame on you!

I had an amazing experience at Gailey's! Ray was phenomenal at answering any questions or concerns that I had. It was great to hear how knowledgeable and passionate they all are. Doctor Aprahamian is absolutely amazing at what he does and really puts you at ease during the process. I was very nervous and this ended up being the easiest procedure I've done thus far. This process has truly changed my life and I am so grateful to everyone involved that made this happen for me!

There are a few things you should know about Gaileys before you walk in the door: 1. Block a few hours off of your schedule because you will be waiting. 2. You WILL need glasses. 3. Don't bother bringing your children there -especially for a school required eye exam. Because I chalked it up to one particular technician having little patience for 5 year olds I made the sorry mistake of bringing another one of my children in to Gaileys for one of these school required tests.

Small children have a hard time holding still and even if they're sitting still their eyes will likely move. On two separate occasions I have had a technician get quite upset with my kids over this. Believe me when I say that my children are very typical, not especially rowdy, and compliant with most instructions from grown ups. And the angrier these employees got the more the kids would fidget.

These people actually acted like they were angry at the kids. But kids get less cooperative after they've been waiting for an hour. In addition, Gaileys will always push to dilate your eyes. One of my children was not at all interested in eye drops. I think the technician was upset I didn't put him in a headlock and pry his eyes open. She was, in fact, so angry that after giving us nasty looks she walked out of the room without a word.

We waited for about 5 minutes and she didn't return. Then in dawned on me that I could just leave. So I did. Remember, at Gaileys you will need glasses. Even if your vision is near perfect they will come up with a reason you would benefit from their overpriced glasses. Maybe you have a weak eye muscle. So you've been warned my people! Save your kids from an unhappy healthcare experience-which they will remember! -and save yourself from rip off and frustration. Go anywhere else.

Bad experience for me. Took over 2 hours to get in for my appointment and get my classes. Also when I called to ask about my insurance they said it was excepted, come to find out it isn't and I have a large bill from them now.

This was in the 1980's maybe the 90's, had a kid give me a exam for contacts. I had not been able to afford an exam in a few years and my eyes had gotten worse. Come to find out he just reordered the same RX I had before and HE WAS NOT A DOCTOR and NO DOCTOR ever came in to check his work. And now more recently.(2014-2015) My 70 some year old mother was referred there for some surgery where they permanently place a contact on your eye. 13 surgerys later she was still not right. She said they run you in and out like a heard of cattle. 13 mistakes! And she still has to wear glasses the rest of her life! NEVER GO THERE FOR THAT PROCEDURE!

If you've ever had the thought, "I wish going to the eye doctor was more like visiting the DMV" then Gailey's is the place for you. You wait in waiting room number 1 for 10-20 minutes after checking in, then the tech calls you back and you have some eye exams with them. Then they take you to waiting room number 2. After waiting in waiting room number 2 for 10-15 minutes, they then take you back to your exam room and check your prescription and then you wait 20-30 minutes after getting your eyes dilated.

The doctor then comes in and checks your eyes. You will see that actual doctor for about 5 minutes, max, unless you have any issues. Then, God help you if you actually need to get glasses, because your eyes are still dilated you can't see what the frames look like or the prices. This whole system is not for me in many ways. I don't like that the tech is the one reviewing your prescription.

It always felt rushed and took about half the time that it does with my current doctor. I also hate the assembly line method of getting people through the whole process. We had to go back for a quick check-up 8 weeks after an initial exam, which had nothing to do with vision, and had to go through the whole process again, 45 minutes for something that should've taken 5. Lastly, I hate that they dilate your eyes, no choice.

My eyes are light colored, which means if I get dilated in the afternoon, it's not until the next morning that they are back to normal. My new doctor has a machine that takes a nice, pretty picture of my eye, no dilation needed, and it's covered by insurance. We were Gailey patients for several years, but I had enough. I now have a doctor who checks my eyes thoroughly. I'm in and out quickly, and I can see to drive home.

I've been going to Gailey's since I was a little kid. I like the get in get out no hassle way of business. I don't want to spend all day at the eye doctor, personally. I think the office is beautiful and up-to-date and they have a nice assortment of eyewear. I've never had to wait very long here like some people say they have, but then again I often make my appointment for early in the day. There seems to be a large older clientele here, naturally, so I'm sure they get chatty and slow (no disrespect) and slow things down by the end of the day.;)

Kind of a goofy system if you wear contact lenses and it takes a while of waiting to get through it all. 1. check in 2. wait for contact lens tech, get examined 3. wait for doc's nurse 4. get eyes dialated, vision checked 5. wait for eyes to dialate 6. get ushered to exam room, wait for eye doc 7. see eye doc for 4 minutes 8. back to contact lens tech to get written copies of your Rx's if you want them and check out This process usually takes at least an hour sometimes a little more. But they are very thorough with all of their testing. Their optical department is pricey - I go elsewhere to get my glasses an online for contact lenses.

Wow, this place is labyrinth! Much moreso than it would seem when walking or driving by. 40 people in here on a Monday morning? OK! They do keep us organized and moving. That said. it's a labyrinth with friendly and capable staff, doctors and multiple technicians who know what's up and how to handle it, and fair prices. I like the location and the fact that they take my insurance. But I'm also certainly happy enough to stay put.
