Knowledgeable staff who take the time to really learn about your needs and assist you. Great selection of top quality eyeglasses and related vision gear. Went after a friend recommended them for purchasing Silhouette glasses, and very happy with their service and wide range of demo frames.

Dr. Miller and the entire staff at NW Hills are amazing. I was referred by my glaucoma specialist over a year ago. The staff was polite, thorough and so very accommodating. They helped me with a cosmetic contact for my right eye. Due to my glaucoma and many corneal transplants, the eye is white. It took them making the contact several times to get the eye color and size of the pupil to match, but they were diligent to get it where I was happy. Their patience with me through the ordering and making of several was nothing short of amazing. AND I was never charged until myself, Dr. Miller, and the contact folks were all satisfied. I will be ordering another in the near future. Everyone from the time I walked in the door through the entire process were friendly, patient, professional, and knowledgeable. Thank you!!!

The team at Northwest Hills Eye Care is so kind, caring, professional, and knowledgeable. They take good care of their patients and they know what they are doing! For regular exams they are quick yet thorough, and i had the best experience I have ever had trying to decide on a glasses frame with their guidance! In a possible serious situation I was seen almost immediately, I felt very prioritized and cared for, and the issue was very well diagnosed and treated. I highly recommend this practice!

I also forgot to ask when do we go back ?We are from Lubbock TX about 5 1/2 hours away and are New patient, it was one of the best Decisions I made for my son to see Dr. Miller. My son is disabled and has very high anxiety when coming to the Eye Dr and Dr.Miller made my son feel so Comfortable and relaxed. All the staff went above and beyond. I will for sure continue seeing Dr. Miller for my son. Thank you to the staff for making us feel so welcomed.

Northwest Eye Care runs a tight ship- their practice is clean and efficient. They are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Dr Schutte is everything you might need in an optometrist. She really cares about the health of your eyes and takes time to explain the results of your exam and answer every question you might have about your vision and eyes. Thank you, Northwest Eye Care.

Dr.Miller came highly recommend to assist with my 93 year old mothers low vision. Dr Miller and her team did a great job making her comfortable and engaged. The results were astonishing. My mother,who just hates doctors,was just as happy as could me. Her vision is not restored but the eyesight she has left was greatly improved. Thanks to Dr Miller and the staff.

Today was my first time going to Northwest Hills eye care and I will definitely be returning. The office was clean and everyone took care to clean everything thoroughly. They even wiped down my insurance card and license after they handed it back! The staff was very kind and quick. I was only waiting a few minutes before being called back. The technician was thorough and knowledgeable. Dr Schutte was friendly, thoughtful, and took the time to explain things to me. The person who helped me pick out glasses was fun to partner with. They gave me honest opinions and suggestions. Anything I tried on went into a box so that other patients couldn’t touch them before they got cleaned. Over all, I’d highly recommend this place. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!

Review №31

My first visit here was rather chaotic because they had an unexpected power outage. No worries. My second visit was frustrating because I made appts over the phone and we went through all of my insurance benefits, but only to find out day of, after waiting 35 mins, that my insurance was in network for appointments but not glasses. Why would I make an appointment for glasses to use my insurance benefit if this office was not in network? Total waste of my morning that I moved around for my work schedule.

Review №35

I called for a regular eye exam quote and they will charge you $37 extra if you do NOT want your eyes dilated, no exceptions. They force you to dilate your eyes if you dont want to pay extra. Its your body, but its certainly not your choice here.UPDATE OF RESPONSE TO OWNER: This location employs uneducated professionals. The front desk is adamant that patients must submit to an eye dilation, no exceptions, unless you wish to pay a fee. Be weary when contacting this establishment as it IS possible to opt out of having your retina examined within the state of Texas by signing a waiver. This establishment is eyeing money, not the wishes of the patient.

I’ve been a patient here for many years and the practice is outstanding! Everyone is polite and friendly. The staff work together as a team and their common goal is taking excellent care of their patients. This is the way the practice has always been. Now that we must take Covid precautions, I am pleased to say their protocols are over and above any I have experienced in any other doctor’s office. Their care and concern for all patients is a beautiful thing to experience. I’m thankful this is my family’s eye clinic and highly recommend them.

I was 15 minutes late and they hay had already given my appointment to someone else and refused to try to work me on even after I explained that it is an three hour round trip commitment to come back on a later date. This is the first time I have been treated with lack of respect by the office staff. The doctor Is very good.

Joe provided outstanding service during the fitting for my eyeglasses. He took the time to make sure that glasses fitted correctly. That made a huge difference in the comfort in wearing them. In addition, he explained how to use the case for the eyeglasses as I had not seen one like that before. I appreciate the time he took to explain the warranty, how to care for the glasses & how to use the folding eyeglass case.The service at Northwest Hills, as I have come to expect, was exceptional& tailored to what I needed. Thank you.

The best Eye doctor, IMHO! For an entire year I thought my eyes were going bad & when I decided to try another place & saw Dr Miller, I learned that my prescription was so incorrect!?! I would like to name the clinic that gave me incorrect prescription, but suffice it to say, it is located very close to IBM location. And part of a major hospital. Thank you, thank you Dr. Laura Miller!🙏

After 5 different doctors trying to get feedback from my son during an eye exam, Dr. Miller comes in with her nice demeanor and cool confidence. She obviously projects that onto my son, helps him feel comfortable, and completes a full exam with great results. I cant say enough good things about her positive interaction with me and my son.He is legally blind from Keratoconus. Finally, hell be able to see with glasses that some said could not be made.

Dr. Miller and her team are awesome!! My family and I have been going for years due to decreasing low vision and blindness and we are always treated with the best in customer care!! Honestly, I wish that other businesses and medical providers would receive training from her/staff to learn how to be courteous, kind and patient to customers. The entire staff respectfully and sincerely provides services to patients regardless of our income status, disability status or any other issues. Dr. Miller is extremely knowledgeable about her field and services for her patients and she advocates for us and our rights. Laura Miller gives back to her community and is a real joy to work with, everytime!!

Review №85

2 stars for the fact that they are taking coronavirus seriously, the rest are gone for how hard it is to get appts scheduled with their vision dept (exam was fine). Front desk hardly ever answers, then they need to wait for vision on a different appt, then they dont answer, it is endless back and forth and a poor experience for someone with a day job who cant sit around waiting for a call. Today I came in and they told me I had the wrong appt time despite the fact they texted me the time in writing.I will never return here because I believe businesses can operate and take precautions against the coronavirus but not entirely make one jump through scheduling hoops over multiple visits to actually get glasses. There is software to solve this in 2020, but they would rather provide excuses.

Review №96

Good doctors, shady clinic policies. I am an established patient and found the Doctors to be great in the past, but reception needs better training badly; unless trained poorly on purpose to limit culpability...The medical office refused service because I would not sign their HIPAA agreement, which was NOT a HIPAA agreement but rather a thinly veiled consent form to charge you more if insurance doesnt pay for it; e.g. gotcha billing. I wasnt using insurance but they refused service since I refused to agree to this.As a CASH patient, I was also not able to waive their OPTI-Scan service and its fee which is an additional $49. If I was paying for the exam with insurance, you have the option to NOT include this service since insurance wont cover it. If an insurance company wont pay for it, why should a FULL CASH paying patient be expected to??Additionally, as a Cash patient I would have expected much better service from this office seeing as I am paying the *full exam price* and not the 30% the insurance companies pay.I will be filing formal complaints with the appropriate authorities so the clinics billing and HIPPA policies can be examined and brought into line with the rest of the industry. However, because of these shady policies and incompetence of the front office, I will not be returning as a patient.
