Our highest priority and concern is the safety of our patients, staff, and community and we have made changes in our office to adhere to the ADH and CDC guidelines to enhance that protection. If you have had a cough, fever, shortness of breath, or are not feeling well, we ask that you reschedule your appointment. We also ask for patients only to enter the office unless it is necessary to have a companion with you. We will be spacing appointments to allow for thorough cleaning between patients and will do all that we can to limit your time in the office.

Dr Susan provided me with the best eye exam I have had in a very long time. She educated me in the changes that had taken place with my vision and what my new eyewear would do for me. The eyeglass selection was great and the optician helped me find the perfect frames! I can't speak highly enough about this practice! If you are looking for a great, friendly atmosphere where you are treated like family. this is the place! Thank you for the great service!

Person who answered the phone was not very pleasant. Statement of we are not taking any new patients. Nothing like "we would be happy to take your name as soon as we are able to take new patients, etc. no offer of any suggestions" I thought Hot Springs was pretty short on customer service, and I see it now extends out here to the Village. We've been here 6 years and the complaint is that Villagers do not support business inside the Village. could be a reason for that?

Came to Hot Springs Village on vacation for the kid's spring break. I forgot to bring a backup pair of contact lenses and happened to lose one. The nice folks at Eyecare Specialties had a trial of the exact one I needed on hand and had it ready for me to pick up immediately. They really helped save my vacation. Thanks Eyecare Specialties!

Disappointing visit just to pick up my new glasses. Glasses were brought out with a cleaner by whoever. Never invited to sit down and try them on. I needed to try them on standing up and was given a reading card with no explanation. I had to ask for the case that came with the frames. Left with no intention of returning. The worst "optical department" I have ever experienced.

Three points for improvement: - (1) Have the front door unlocked PRIOR to your first appointment - keeping people waiting outside in cold temps. is never appreciated. (2) The need for presentation of insurance documentation is hardly seen as necessary 2 weeks apart. (3) Promptness would be appreciated in refunding over-charged amounts. But for the foregoing I would have awarded at least 4 stars.
