As an employee, I notice that these doctors are not like many doctors that I have seen in the past. They are not about cramming people in and "get in, get out" mentality. They are about spending quality time with each individual patient. I have heard them conversate with many patients asking about family and other non-business related life events because they care about that person as an individual.
From a patient standpoint, the eye exam was very professionally handled, the MAs are kind and guide you through each step. When Dr. Michael Croft came in, he asked questions about my life and what I was experiencing. Then in the actual measuring in the exam, he was thorough in explaining what was happening with my eyes and helped me understand in layman's terms.
I came out of it feeling proud about my vision, more knowledgeable about my eyes, and understood as a person. And again, working here, I have seen each of our doctors show that same professionalism and personalization.

The team here is amazing! I always feel like family! I recommend any of the three doctors that are at this practice. From the first min you walk thru the door you are greeted with lovely smiling faces, then treated kindly by your medical assistances. The doctor always takes time with me to explain everything so I'm happy and comfortable with our future plans.

Staff was absolutely amazing here! Had to bring my two year old to my appointment and was honestly dreading it because he can get to be a bit much. The staff here were incredibly kind, patient and helpful to us. They were very thorough yet were quick, knowing that I had an impatient toddler. Dr Foote was fantastic with answering all my questions and was so patient with my mischievous toddler grabbing anything and everything in reach. Thank you guys so much for the immense kindness and great service that you have provided.

Buyer beware! Con- we (my family) have been with Dixie Eyecare multiple years, due to them having the Best assortment in town! However, I would double-check your insurance, because they will NOT. after multiple purchases /exams, I've come to find out the office stance is it is 100% the patients responsibility to make sure your ins is something they accept.
Example they will take payment from the exam part and not tell you that none of your frames, lenses, RX, is covered and is $750.00. You will be held 100% responsible for all charges, this may not be illegal, but the greed n non flexibility is not the way I would do business in a smaller city. You can (we have) regretted walking out thousands of dollars unsatisfied, and left to think our ins was the problem and bi annually covered.
Which is NOT the case. They had to know the entire time. Suggestion, get pre auths don't be a part of the problem! Zero accountability within the office here, no flexibility. (Even after asking for some flexibility w billing.) Ric G

We went to Dixie Eyecare when we lived in St. George, and then when we moved to Las Vegas we decided to stay with Dixie Eyecare. We were very happy and everything was efficient and fairly quick. Dr. Foote took his time with my teenage son and really made him feel comfortable. They sent us home with a couple of contacts to try. They were very accommodating for us living so far away and were very prompt when we have needed to order or get the prescription. Thank You!

So I've been nearsighted since the first grade. That means I have a great deal of experience with eye doctors in multiple cities and states. So believe me when I say that this was the best eye doctor and care I have ever received. Dr. Michael Croft and his assistants were ASTOUNDING. I immediately felt cared for and they utilized the latest technology.
But all the best technology is useless without coming out feeling like you're seeing better before and you were truly taken care of. And I have never had such a thorough exam. Add Dixie Eyecare to the reasons I've fallen in love with St. George.

I absolutely love Dixie Eye Care. We went to another doctors office for years and never felt like anyone cared about us. It was always a long wait to get in and once you got in the doctor didn't even know you by name. The doctors at Dixie Eye Care are fabulous. They are caring and personable. The staff is wonderful. They are all so kind and accommodating. I highly recommend Dixie Eye Care.

I have been going to Dixie Eye Care for the past 16 years. Both of the Drs. I have seen have been professional and informative. They are also kind and understanding. The office staff is superb with their customer service. Always happy and greet you with a smile. I would highly recommend this office for all of your eye care needs.

If you are in the Saint George, UT area and need to find an Eye Doctor. THIS is the place to go! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the doctors are so well informed and obviously keep up on their stuff! They offer the latest technology at no extra charge (I have VSP insurance). I got my glasses sooner than they had originally promised I would get them and OMG, I CAN SEE! It's really weird to think that I put up with my poor vision for as long as I did! Thanks Dixie Eyecare! I will recommend you to EVERYONE I KNOW!

Last summer we went to St. George on a quick three day family vacation. While at a local lake, I lost one of my contact lenses. At first I thought it would be no big deal, that I could handle it for the two remaining days and my wife could drive us home. I had not packed glasses or an extra pair of contacts due to the short nature of the trip. However, I have a heavy prescription and within hours, my head had started to ache and spin.
A couple of hours after that I couldn't even open my eyes without immense pain. I tried calling my doctor back home with no luck, my wife found Dixie Eye Care and I gave the emergency number a call. Doctor Croft heard my situation, I thought he would tell me good luck, instead he asked if I could get a ride to his office and we made arrangements to meet in just a few minutes.
After a quick check of my eyes he had a new lens in and made sure it fit with my astigmatism correctly. Hours later my headache had subsided, and I was back to enjoying our vacation. I might add that when I called Doctor Croft it was around 8 pm on a Saturday night! As we were leaving for home at the end of our trip, my wife and one year old baby girl ended up getting sick.
I had to make the long drive home as quick as possible and would not have been able to drive at all if I had not been healed by this good Doctor. I can't tell you how much I appreciate Doctor Croft and his willingness to help a stranger on a Saturday night. If I lived anywhere near St. George, Dixie Eye Care would be my place!
