My children both go to this location. Everyone is very nice,and when I have to order replacement glasses for my youngest, I get them quickly! I would recommend going here to anyone.

My wife, Brenda, has Parkinsons Disease. Over the years we have had many eye test for her but never one as complete as the one she had at Volunteer Eyecare.We could tell they were truly trying to find a solution to her ongoing eye problems. We received her new glasses this week and what a difference.The professionalism of these folks is above and beyond anything we have ever experienced. Thanks so much for caring.

I went here twice and once today and I have to say these people are really nice and patient and they are really on top of things when it comes to your eyes and glasses.

Very first time getting service here and they are the most friendlyness and careing people I’m so glad we started going to them and you can tell they care about their customers

Great staff very friendly and attentive to kids!!!!

Staff is efficient! Eye exam for a teen was thorough and results were explained clearly. We appreciated frames being available within the office. Glasses came back sooner than expected. Happy teen = happy mama!!

Had a great experience, from the setting up of our appointments to picking up our new glasses today, everyone has been extremely curious, friendly, professional and welcoming. being new to Knoxville, were looking forward to creating great relationships with businesss here~

It was a great experience. The optometrist takes time to explain everything and the staff is super friendly.

I booked my first appointment with Volunteer Eye Care and it couldn’t have gone any smoother. The whole staff is amazing and I couldn’t have had a better experience. I definitely recommend Volunteer Eye Care to everyone!

Very professional. Very thorough. They made sure they sanitized everything. They schedule enough time between appointments so that they have plenty of time to spend with you, as a patient, however. May glasses were ready exactly when they said they would be and pickup literally took 5 minutes. I will definitely continue to use them.

Had my first appointment last week with Dr. V. Long and staff. The appointment was thorough, fast, and friendly.I was awarded with my first prescription for glasses. They said it would take about 2 weeks, but I had them by the end of that same work week! Excellent people!

Awesome eyecare. Great selection with helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

I have had 2 eye exams there now, and is almost time to schedule this years exam. They have treated me so wonderfully, I cannot imagine going anywhere else, even tho I have now moved an hour and a half away from the Chapman Hey location.

Great experience all around.....friendly staff and a lot of eye wear to choose from! Was very pleased with everything!

My experience was great and very friendly....really cute frames too.

Friendly place.. the best place for us to go to get eyecare and better selection of eyeglasses frames.

I love my new glasses from Volunteer Eyecare, so light weight and stylish! I had my prescription so the only person I worked with was April. She was so nice and helpful. A neighbor suggested I try them and am so glad I did and the office is very close to me. Thank you April and Volunteer Eyecare!

We’ve been coming here for 10+ years. We obviously like the service!!

Love this place! I needed to try a different contact lense brand and they let me try out several options til I found the one that worked best for me. Also I replaced my glasses lenses and got them back so fast. Overall great experience and I will be back again.

Very fast, efficient, and caring! Every single person I met was very nice. Dr. Long did a great job during examination and I love my new glasses 👓 😊

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. I’ve been in glasses since I was 6 years old. When I decided I wanted contracts the Dr and her amazing staff made sure I didn’t leave without them. I’m so grateful I got a chance to experience such beautiful and out going individuals. They made my life so much better.

I’ve been going to Volunteer Eyecare for a few years now and have been extremely pleased with their service and expertise. They are always willing to explain my current eye condition and what to expect in the future. They are very friendly and always helpful when deciding on glasses. If you are searching for a new place, I highly recommend giving them a try!

I had been hopping from one quickie vision center to another over the past several years bc my insurance had changed and my eye doctor that i had been seeing for years did not take it. Anyway, the last few prescriptions I had gotten were just wrong and these quick vision centers just didnt care. I was tired of paying all this money every year and not being able to see clearly. So,I went on a mission to find myself a good long term eye doctor. WELL, I think Ive found her with Volunteer Eyecare on Chapman Highway. I saw Dr. Long who was awesome. She took her time, thoroughly explained things and answered all my questions. The staff was great too, courteous and kind. I am now seeing great and am very pleased with my whole experience. I would definitely recommend seeing Volunteer Eyecare for all your eyecare needs.

I am 21, and this was my first time going to an eye appointment with my own insurance through my employer. It couldn’t have gone smoother. I set up my appointment over the phone in about 5 minutes, showed up early to my appointment to fill out paperwork and was seen right away. I saw Dr. Poveromo who was very kind and knowledgeable, and the rest of the staff was extremely sweet as well.

I ran out of contacts and didnt plan ahead on my yearly appointment needed to renew my prescription. Volunteer Eyecare fit me in the same day and gave me a great consultation, along with ordering new contacts for me. Im very pleased with the service and plan to make this my primary optometrist. Dr. Hesse and her team are awesome!

Everyone I met or interacted with at volunteer Eyecare were professional and very friendly. I’m glad I came here to get my eyes checked. Highly recommend!

Im a new patient and Im very impressed. From beginning to end, my visit was great. The office staff has the covid guidelines in place. I picked up my glasses yesterday. I can see! Thank you all so much.

I have been going here for years, and have been very happy with the service. The doctors are top notch, and the office staff are extremely helpful and accommodating. Their selection of frames isn’t “huge“, but sufficient, and they carry a lot of designer brands, which I like. I would definitely recommend them

Entire staff are very professional and friendly. Take time to answer all questions.Highly recommend. Also they all wear a mask.

As usual VOLUNTEER OPTICAL on Chapman saves the day again.. I broke my Chemistries last week while visiting a client at the Jail.. and knowing I drive a lot.. and the next day they fixed them on the spot Ive been spoiled since last January when I walked in with what had once been nice glasses but over the course of years had been reduced to what amounted to a monocle.. 3 weeks they said on my new ones.. and in 3 days I had new glasses and chemistries.. ( Highly recommend Chemistries too.. they are magnetic sunglasses and attach to your main frame without looking like those clip ons Granny used to wear .. folks are always amazed when I pull them off and they are so super convenient. Wont go anywhere else.

The staff at the Chapman Highway clinic are very professional, personable and highly knowledgeable. Dr. Hess takes as much time as needed to discuss your test results and make recommendations. Ive done business with Volunteer Eyecare for many years at a different location and am so pleased to recommend them!

Very friendly, professional staff. Good selection. Great prices.

I was able to schedule my kids appointment for the following week. Even through the Covid crisis they were so great and helpful. Clean environment and very nice people!

These reviews must be from people with insurance that are not affected by the price. I received the bate and switch treatment. $ 100 for a pair of glasses with the diagnostic for new customers. The diagnostic was friendly and thorough. The frames and front desk not so much. In the end I ended up paying $ 350 for a single lens (low grade of frames) glasses. I was advised that I should get the progressive lens - so I trusted the recommendation and paid the extra money. Then when I couldnt handle the progressive they took those glasses back and gave me a single lens. The new glasses did the job for reading. The problem is I still need progressives. (I think). They should have not taken my progressives. Now 6 months later when feeling the need for progressive glasses in the class room they want me to start over and pay them the $ 350 for the LOWER GRADE - Limited Selection of frames glasses. Hmmm... just not feeling like this is a fair trade. Customer service does not care ! Its a shame - Good Diagnostics - Not so good in the frames and customer satisfaction area!

Love the visit! Very caring ❤ and very detailed in eye care! Takes time to listen and very helpful! Best eye care for me!!

One of the worst parts of relocating to a new area is finding a whole new team of healthcare providers you can trust. Im so glad I found Volunteer Eyecare on Chapman Highway in Knoxville! Dr Hesse is terrific, and her staff is friendly, professional, and super helpful when it comes to answering questions. So glad I found these amazing ladies! Thank you for the excellent care!

Everyone at Volunteer Eyecare on Chapman Hwy was very professional and yet warm and caring at the same time. I especially enjoyed the lady who helped me choose my frames and then fitted them for me. She was a joy to be around.

Great friendly service. Dr and associates were very professional and helpful.

We highly recommend the practice for comprehensive eye health and care. Excellent, highly responsive skilled care when your eyes need medical help, as well as for preventive, diagnostic care and glasses. The entire team is compassionate and ready to go the extra steps to provide emergency care whenever it is needed. This professional medical team well understands the issues of aging eyes as well. If you need surgery such as glaucoma lens replacement that is beyond their office practice, they will refer you to Top area surgeons, and actively follow your progress, not just hand you off.

I have been going to Volunteer Eyecare on Chapman Hwy for a few years. I am extremely pleased and satisfied with the treatment we have received. The doctors and the staff are excellent and always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend them to everyone.

Great quality fast service Amazing quick response services was amazing love my new glasses 😍

Love my new glasses ..the staff at the Chapman Hwy store is always nice and very helpful, I’ve been a customer for 2 yrs and love them.

They are nice people and they treat me good in there and they where patient with me when picking out my glasses.

Dr. Hesse and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I needed a script for both prescription glasses & contacts so that I could shop online for savings. They gladly supported me in my endeavor and recommended online shops to check out. As it turns out, Volunteer Eyecare’s contact lenses are less expensive than most online retailers. Impressed!!!

Dr Hess was Very informative and Knowledgeable about My questions concerning My vision as I am a Diabetic. Also a Very nice person.

I am quite pleased with my experience at Volunteer Eyecare. Th doctor and her staff are both professional and friendly. appointments are easy to obtain and I highly recommend them.

Great experience. Everyone was so nice and likable there. They also seemed honest and knowledgeable and were willing to answer any questions I had.

Both my daughter and myself was seen at Volunteer Eyecare everyone was friendly and caring and very professional. This was my daughter first eye care visit she’s only 4 and they took excellent care of her! Thank you we will definitely be back

Kind and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Connell was very diligent in exploring various types of contact lenses for my eye condition. I have been a patient there for about 5 years and I am very pleased. They have a great selection of eyeglass frames and they are terrific about standing behind their products and customer satisfaction.

Absolutely best place I have been too! Everyone is is amazing and nice ! MY New Glasses are great!

Theyre so helpful

Staff was fantastic. They have a great selection of glasses and were very helpful during the whole fitting process.

They are kind and sweet plus I would go back too them next year and the staff was wonderful and so was the doctor too. I enjoy my eyeglasses from them!!!

Staff was AMAZING great doctor. They were very fast we got in and out. Tgey have great glasses to love it here going to keep coming back :)

Great service! Love it!!

The doctor is wonderful and very patient and I felt like she really cared about my needs. She explained things in ways i could understand. It was a great experience from beginning to end.

My kiddos love it here. I feel they are always getting the best care.

This place has people that are kind, attentive, aware, professional and is just an all around great place to go for your eye care needs. Wouldn’t switch for anything!!

I visited the office at Chapman Highway. The office staff were friendly and efficient. The doctor I had was excellent. He really cared about making sure I got the best prescription for my eyes. He spent probably 45 minutes just trying to figure out the correct strength for my eyes.I used to see Dr Bizers Vision World in the West Town Mall in Knoxville. No more! I will stick with Volunteer Eyecare now. They actually wanted me to have the proper care for my eyes, not just to make a sale regardless of whether the strength was right.

I have been going to Volunteer Eyecare for quite a few years. April, Chapman Hwy. location, is so very kind and always answers all my questions. Check them out! Thank you, April!

Dr. Connell is the best! He is very persistent and patient!!! My vision is not an easy one and he doesn’t give up until he finds the right contacts that work for me. The office staff is terrific! They make you feel very welcome and right at home. Love my eye care!

Had an awesome experience here and would recommend to anyone. The staff is friendly and will answer any questions you have. You don’t feel rushed in or out. They also have a great selection of frames for glasses.

Had an appt today with a new doctor, Dr Hesse. She is great!! The staff is so friendly and helpful!!! They are always very accommodating. I highly recommend this eye doctor!!!

Great! Repaired my glasses for free, right there, even though I didnt buy them from there. Great selection too!

Very pleased with my visit! This was my first visit with Dr. Connell and I will be back! He was very knowledgeable and the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Awesome place!

Smooth process from appointment, to prescription, to delivery of glasses. Had a minor issue with my prescription, and needed it adjusted, and the doc had a 15-20 minute appointment with me, just to insure that everything was exactly what I needed, and didnt charge me for the appointment.Long story short, its a good bunch of folks there.

This is the only eye care place Ive went to other than the eye vision care at walmart and i was very happy with the way they treated me, especially since I lost my brand new anti-glare glasses and they were very respectful when i called to order new ones again!! Very nice people!

They were patient and great with my 9 yr old son! I am very pleased with the experience, staff, and visit! I would recommend anyone to try them out

These people are Awesome, definitely will go back!

Have only had great experiences with the folks at volunteer eye. Thanks guys.......

Absolutely loved my experience at Volunteer Eyecare! Dr. Poveromo is incredibly helpful and patient. I will continue to use her services and recommend her to friends and family.

Great place for eye care. Dr. Poveromo and the staff are great. Never have a long wait time, they operate efficiently. Have been going here for several years and dont plan on going anywhere else.

I had to take my prescription from another doctor there to get get my eyeglasses and they were very helpful and friendly.

I think they are great and would recommend them to anyone. Friendly, informative, helpful, a wonderful group of people!! I see so well now, and it has been a long time since I have seen so clearly!!

The doctor I saw was very nice, competent, and explained everything. He gave me a more thorough examination than the big opthamology practice I had been seeing. The big practice had given the wrong prescription and he understood and made sure my prescription was correct. They have a large supply of frames.

Dr. Hesse provided the most thorough eye exam I have ever had, though neither it nor the contacts I purchased were any more expensive than they were at previous providers. Actually, with my my insurance and a rebate, they were less expensive than previous providers.

Being new to Knoxville, we are glad we found Volunteer Eyecare. From the moment we made the appointment to when we picked up our new glasses, they were friendly and professional. We couldnt have asked for a better experience.

Very comfortable atmosphere with the doctor and staff. Great selection of frames like Oakley, Coach, and RayBan! I would recommend this place to all my friends and family!

A fine location with optical services.

Dr. Caroline Poveromo was amazing! My new prescription is perfect! Staff is very patient and accommodating! Love my frames! Great experience!

Great place to go, staff are nice and caring

Clean office, amazing staff, great selection, very knowledgeable, and the best doctors. Dr. E, Dr. Connell, and Dr. P are the best you will find anywhere. Highly recommend!

Great friendly staff. . very accommodating ... thorough. .. will definately always go back here😁

I have always had the best service here at Volunteer Eye Care on chapman hwy! I have even had same day appts when I have had an issue with my eyes! Staff is very courteous and helpful.

The doctor and staff were amazing and professional. I will definitely be back!

Dr Hesse, and staff were very friendly and accommodating!!! I would highly recommend them to anyone in the Knoxville area.

Great selection of glasses. Friendly and helpful staff. Will go back for all my Eyecare needs.

I had a great experience at Volunteer Eyecare, My husband has retinal issues and Dr. Connell was very through in his examination and took the time to explain everything and answer any questions either of us had. I would definitely recommend them to anyone, they really do take the time to take very good care of their patients.

The people are great to work with and are super nice to talk to. They are super efficient with patient care and pay attention to the client s needs.

I was at the chapman Hwy office this past monday for a eye exam and glasses. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, the doctor was great. Told me more about my eyes than my previous eye doctor. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a eye doctor

Very very VERY good experienceI WILL be coming back.Such nice staff, great dr

I have been to multiple places for contacts and this one is by the far the best! The staff are awesome, and Dr. W. Connell is the best optometrist I have ever had! This office deserves 6 stars!

Amazing service and extremely nice workers, they helped me fine the right glasses for me! i would 10/10 recommend going here for anything eye related!!

Very fast and friendly staff, paid less than I expected too

Great place very clean and professional

I was in from out of town and having issues with my eye sight. The office staff was great and got me in promptly! The doctor took a long time with me and really wanted to help fix my problem so I could enjoy the rest of my vacation.

They was very professional and they was nice

Very nice place and good group of people I go twice a year and in and out in no time

Always a good experience, I stopped by to look at Sunglasses and they have a great selection of Oakleys. They were very helpful and professional.

Absolutely great experience from the front desk to the doctor. when you walk in you are greeted with smiles and people who want to help you. Dr.Poveromo is the best, very kind and professional. my insurance covered a lot of my glasses so it was very affordable. I wouldnt recommend you go anywhere els. I couldnt be happier with my experience here.
