Everyone in this practice is awesome! I have been with this practice since 1976 so there must be something special to keep me coming back for this long.Dr. Klaus is super nice, thorough, and genuinely cares about his patients. Keep up the good work!
My experience at this clinic was second to none. The staff is so kind, receptive and happy to help. Dr. Stephenson did one of the most thorough eye exams I have ever had! She is as so patient and helpful in ensuring I am as fitted for the absolute perfect contacts. I have tried countless contacts over the years and was never able to find a pair that actually worked until I found her! Thank you Dr. Stephenson!
I am a patient of Dr Klaus and want to say that he is an excellent doctor . He is thorough and genuinely cares about his patients. He is a problem solver and is persistent to find the solution.In addition, the staff is very competent and they take the time get to know their patients. They are receptive, helpful and kind.I have been to other good eye doctors, but Dr. Klaus and Atlantic Vision Center is by far the best.
Being new to the area I am very fortunate to have found such a great vision establishment ! I had a small mishap with a practically brand new pair of glasses which they were able to correct and adjust as soon as I walked in the door ! The staff is incredibly friendly and Kim made sure I walked out with the glasses being as good as new !!🥸😎
They are extremely helpful for summer accidents with lost or broken glasses!! They found a quick appointment for my son and helped him with trial contacts before a flight... Urgent need!!! We appreciate their help so very much. Very polite and informative staff. My next necessary check up will be with them!! Conveniently located. Thank you so much!!
Dr. Brigman was FANTASTIC and really made my husband and I feel listened to. I work in IT and am staring at the computer most of the day, she was able to get me a Rx for glasses that really helped my eye fatigue.
Everyone here is so Gr8! I couldnt have asked for a better team, from the front desk to the doctor to the tech that helps fit you into your perfect new glasses, they are all simply amazing!!! Ill never go anywhere else for my vision care! Def recommend 👌
By far my favorite place to get an exam and glasses.They are the most thorough place with their exam and you know they actually care about your needs.Dr. Brigman was so impressive explaining exactly what was going on with my eyes and what to expect in the future. I felt so much more reassured after leaving there.My wife had a very similar experience so we highly recommend Atlantic Vision.
This was the first time visiting this eye doctor. I needed an appt. fast prior to leaving town, for a medical eye issue. They were able to get me in within a day which I was very happy with since my regular eye doctor could not.If I am to rate the doctor I saw, I would give her 6 stars. Dr. Sara Brigman was awesome. She was personable, knowledgeable and explained everything very clearly.Unfortunately, I had to wait an hour and 20 minutes to be seen. At first I thought it was because they fit me in, however, there were other patients waiting as long or longer to be seen.It is very frustrating when Drs offices dont respect peoples time.Im not sure if the wait here is always this bad or not, but if you dont mind waiting, at least the experience with Dr. Bridgman was excellent.
Organized and thorough from the first phone call to checking out! Very much appreciate your quality patient care. Dr Stephenson was very personable while being professional. Highly recommend!
FANTASTIC! I am very impressed with the friendly staff, great decor and surroundings and the unbelievable knowledge by Dr Klaus.probably the best optical eye inspection ever.
I was very impressed! Fantastic, knowledgeable staff and provider, excellent/very thorough eye exam. A very caring team, wouId highly recommend to others.
Always professional and very thorough. Tells me more about ny eyes than most opthomologists. Wouldnt go anywhere else.
Dr. Brigman is the BEST. Her expertise, experience, and attention to detail are only surpassed by her pleasant attitude and personality. She has provided excellent service to me and my familys eye care needs for several years. Her staff is professional and friendly. I highly recommend her and her practice.
As always, working with Dr Brigman is always a pleasure!. The staff works with a smooth efficient order with no waiting or delays. My wife and I are looking forward to having excellent visual care with Atlantic Vision Center..
Excellent experience! Everyone was so kind and patient, as well as very thorough to help me determine the problem I was having. I didnt have to wait long at all and everyone was so knowledgeable. Highly recommended!!
Dr. Stephenson carefully and thoroughly monitors my complex eye issues with professionalism. The office staff are always friendly, well trained and helpful. My appointment was thorough and not rushed.
I traveled from CA to NC to visit a new baby in the family. On my last day, I somehow sat on my glasses, bending the frame and popping out one of the lenses. It would have been nearly impossible for me to successfully navigate the airports on my return the next day with only one lense and a bent frame.(Not to mention how ridiculous I would have looked!)I called Atlantic Vision Center and Amber told me to come on in. Kim adjusted my frames and replaced the popped out lense. I am grateful for their kind and efficient service, especially as a desperate tourist.Thank you Atlantic Vision Center!
Dr. Stevenson is amazing. She is diligent, kind, caring, brilliant, and overall amazing. This has been hands down my best experience with an optometrist!
Thank you to the entire staff at Atlantic Vision. It was a great experience. One of the best eye exams Ive ever experienced. Dr. Klaus was exceptional.
I was in from out of town and had an eye issues. They took me in immediately. Very impressed with there level of professionalism as well as kindness.
Dr Klaus was so detailed in his work with us and even though we went past closing time he never rushed anything. His staff was also very complete in explaining us the eye exams we received all through the picking of the frames.
I love Atlantic Vision Center! I have been a patient of Dr. Klaus for almost 40 years. He is very thorough, and his office staff works like clockwork.
After 20 years of the going to the same eye doctor, I was hesitant to look for a new one when we moved here to Wilmington. I feel so lucky I found Dr. Brigman at Atlantic Vision Center. The exams were very thorough, the staff was so friendly and Dr. Brigman went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. I unknowingly had a scratch on my eye that had been killing me and she quickly identified what it was and how to help. Between that issue, my annual eye exam and ordering contacts, I was scared about the total cost. I don’t have vision insurance and found them to be very affordable! It sealed the deal and I’ll definitely be going back for the next 20+ years!
Dr. Sara Brigman is the new doctor on the block at this practice. My husband and I really like her so we followed her there. The office is nice and clean and well organized. All staff presented professional and did an excellent job during my visit. I highly recommend this practice for above average eye care.
I am 62 and am starting to have complicated vision issues.Dr Stephenson and her staff were excellent in explaining how to treat my early signs of glaucoma. I also need to use my computer for work and have had great difficulty finding the best solution. Dr Stephenson explained several different options available clearly and with empathy that I have rarely seen. I didnt feel like just a number at all, and the entire staff was super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.
What a great place! Staff was warm and welcoming, and very professional. Dr. Brigman was thorough, and took the time to explain in a way that was very clear. Miss Candy took care of our Eyeware needs on the spot, and was a joy to deal with. Good experience!
Thank you Dr. Klaus for giving me great knowledge and listening to my needs.
Dr. Klaus and his staff are truely amazing. I am very impressed after my husband and I had our first appointment today. We just moved here from AZ and we have never had a check-up this thorough in our life. Very professional and still down to earth. Both are very important to me. We feel very blessed we found them.
Excellent all around service . DR Sara Brigman was both professional and personable. State of the art computerized testing. Highly recommend
Professional, knowledgeable, and i felt my needs were important to Dr. Brigman. She was very thorough. Her positive attitude and up-beat personality was refreshing.
My eye exam was thorough and Dr. Bridgman was professional, courteous, and carefully explained every aspect of my exam. I couldn’t have been more pleased. My complaint is with the front desk. When I called to make my appointment I clearly stated my insurance provider and was told that they did accept Humana. When I came in for my appointment, I presented my insurance card at the front desk along with my photo ID. Either of those two occasions would have been a good time to let me know that, while they do accept Humana, I would be charged a specialist copay and my vision coverage with Humana (which is a zero copay and a $300 allowance plus 20% off anything over that amount) was not accepted at Atlantic Vision. I was not told that until my exam was completed, my prescription was written, and I was presented with the cost of my new prescription (which was well over $500). Now I have to find another optometrist and start all over again.
Always a great experience here. Highly recommend this practice. Dr. Stevenson is brilliant!
DR. SARA BRIGMAN listens. She has never rushed through my appointments. I aways feel like I’ve had a thorough visit. Dr. Bridgman is kind and knowledgeable. I’ve seen her for acute eye problems as well as follow up visits. *She fits scleral lens for keratoconus*. I was referred to her by Intracoastal Eye.
Ive been seeing Dr. Klaus for almost two decades worth of eye care and Ive enjoyed every visit. If you want it done right, and thoroughly, then Atlantic Vision Center is where you need to come. Its complete eye health, and thats peace of mind, as well as quality vision care.
Love the place and all the people!! Dr Kraus. Is great!!!
A very thorough eye exan
Was a very good exam. Staff was friendlyI love Dr Brigman have been seeing her for years!
I was very happy to see Sarah today found out that I got to have operation and also have a spot on my eye and I was very glad to find out this great job guys
Professional Care and the attitude is always positive. Great experience..
Candy very professional and personable. Glad to have found them for eyeglass needs.
I believe this is the first time I give a clinic five stars. I was taken care by Olivia and Dr. Stephenson. Both were very kind and helpful. They explained each procedure and answered my questions. I’ve paid almost the same amount at a different optometrist for only a vision exam and frames. Dr. Stephenson diagnosed me with some things that are very important. I’m grateful I found them. I highly recommend them.M
Dr. Brigman is extremely knowledgeable, professional and above all has a wonderful manner..Could not have asked for more pleasant staff...
Dr Brigman is one of the best. Strongly recommend her for professionalism and great communication skills.
New to the area and found this practice online. So glad we did! Dr. Stephenson and staff were so friendly, attentive and efficient. The optician helped pick out the perfect frame. The waiting room may be a little dated but if you’re looking for personal and professional eye care, reasonably priced then this is the place!
Excellent service by everyone.
I got something in my eye, and my doctor was closed on Mondays. Atlantic Vision worked me in and was very friendly and professional in making sure I was helped and free of pain.Dr. Bridgman was fantastic!
Very professional Dr., staff and office. I am so glad i found them. Will be sending family for sure to Atlantic Vision... Thanks for a great appointment!!
Another great experience! Very friendly, personable staff!
Great service and information - thank you.
Dr. Sara Brigman is EXCEPTIONAL. Best comprehensive eye evaluation ever received.
Dr. Stephenson is just the best!! Quick in and out also!
Dr Brigman is the best! Explains everything in detail.
Love Dr. Stephenson and the whole staff! Highly recommend!
I’ve been a patient at Alantic Vision Center for over 30 years. The staff has always been very thorough and professional.
The staff and doctors are always friendly and are string me concerned about each person. They listen to each concern of their clients.
One of the best dispensing optometrists Ive ever been to. Dr. Stephenson is very thorough, making sure you get the correct perscription. Shes also very patient, and doesnt rush the exam. My glasses came out perfect, and I can see better than ever.They also did a very comprehensive glaucoma test, making sure my eyes will stay healthy.They may be more expensive than others, but you get what you pay for. And how much is good vision worth?Updated 3-14-21.Still getting excellent service. Very comprehensive glaucoma and cataract tests.
I can clearly see why this is the best VISION center.
The exam was very through. The staff were friendly, professional and courteous.
Comment already posted....I think they were inadvertently posted under my husbands name (Lonnie).
Dr. Stephenson is extremely knowledgeable and a joy to work with. All the staff are pleasant and competent . I have been with them since 2012 and am very happy there. If you’re looking for a vision center, give them a try.
Very friendly and efficient staff. Clean office
Dr. Stephenson is fantastic...very thorough and explains things in a manner that is easy to understand.
Dr. Stephenson is very interested in making sure you leave her office with the best possible prescription to meet your needs. She is very patient with all the testing and changes that come about when trying to get the best fit and prescription for contact users. I have never had a optometrist dedicate the time and effort she has with me, she really has a passion to make sure her patient’s needs are met.
My whole family goes here and we are treated as friends as much as patients. Kudos to Dr Stephenson for not being freaked out by my litany of eye conditions. A great place to go for your optical needs!
Dr. Stephenson is great. She is extremely knowledgeable and kind. She is also open to answering questions and explaining things in a way that is simple to understand. I would comfortably recommend her to anyone.
Very caring as well as professional
Great private practice. I am sick of corporate clinics. And this private clinic reminds me why. The physician and staff were extremely competent and carrying. The were concerned about doing the right thing, not corporate protocols.
Dr. Stephenson is the best.
Dr. Jessica Stephenson and the rest of the staff who helped her to check my vision were very thorough and respectful. Dr. Stephensons manners are impeccable, she is a very attentive listener and a compassionate person. Young as she looks, I trust her professional judgement and experience. Every time I see her, I feel more optimistic about preventing the loss of my eyesight.
Dr. Klaus has saved my “optical-life”. His knowledge, patience, and expertise have enabled me to retain my vision for years beyond my expected limits. He, Dr. Stephenson, and the competent and friendly staff at Atlantic are a prized resource in the Wilmington area.I recently had an eye emergency. AVC quickly arranged to see me in their offices to assess my problem and they helped me deal very satisfactorily with my situation. I met Dr. Brigman for the first time. She did my examination. She was excellent and will be a wonderful addition to their Team.
This was the best eye exam I have ever had. .Dr Klaus is very thorough and takes the time to explain everything. The staff are friendly and helpful.
Dr Stephenson conducts the best eye exams I have had in my 80 years. She is very concerned about preserving your health. Strongly recommend this practice.
This was our first experience at a vision center. I brought my 8-year-old for his first visit. Every staff member that we encountered was very friendly, patient, and professional. I picked this office based on Google reviews and Im so glad I did. :)
I love Dr. Stevenson, she is a awesome eye doctor. They really take care of you and your eye health. They go the extra mile to make sure you can see your best. I would not go anywhere else. I tell all my friends how good Dr. Stevenson treats you. Simply the Best!!!
Excellent and personable care!
Excellent service. Exam was through and process and results explained in detail.
The day of my appointment when I went they were extremely busy. Even though they were very busy the staff was super friendly and very thorough. The doctor was explanatory on all my tests and extremely friendly. The price for my new glasses and lenses was very reasonable. I highly recommend if you are in need of an eye exam or new glasses to please check this location first.
This was my first visit to see Dr. Nelson Klaus, who I met in the St. Therese parking lot after Sunday Mass. Dr. Klaus’ staff members were all very professional and quite personal.They were thorough and detailed in the various tasks, tests, procedures, etc. My examination by Dr. Klaus was extremely detailed and clearly made me confident with his ability as my new eye doctor. Thank you Dr. Klaus and staff.
Was a patient of Dr Klauss for many years then moved away for 18 years and when we returned to this area after retirement, I called for an appointment and was able to get reestablished. I am very pleased with the professional staff and the concern they have for me as a patient . I typically see Dr Stevenson. I highly recommend this practice.
I have been a patient of Doctor Klaus for over 30 years. He has always been incredibly professional, thorough, and without a doubt sincerely interested in the health of my eyes. And now with the addition of Dr. Stephenson, who is equally as professional, competent, and personable, I definitely recommend Atlantic Vision Center. In addition, the staff is also very friendly and responsive!
We have used Dr. Klaus for many, many years and started using Dr. Stephenson when she first joined his office. Both are outstanding!We consider them and their whole staff as family!
I am the referrals coordinator for a pediatric clinic and had referred several patient to Atlantic Vision. One day I decided to ask a few of the parents how they liked them as I was new to the area and needed an ophthalmologist myself. They all highly recommended AV. I have been a patient of theirs ever since! I absolutely love these guys! Whether it is working with them on patient care or in my personal life they all positively rock!
Dr. Klaus has provided my eye care for many years and I have been extremely happy with his professionalism, attention to detail, and level of care. I am confident that I am getting some of the best eye care available in the industry. One of the things that I really appreciate is the time that Dr. Klaus takes to explain exam procedures and his findings. I have always found the staff at Atlantic Vision Center to be very pleasant and helpful. Highly recommended.
I was a patient at another local vision center, but recently switched to Atlantic Vision Center and LOVED the quality and care that they provided! From the front desk to the dilation, they were all so friendly and welcoming. I was also impressed how thorough they were. I definitely recommend Dr. Stephenson!!

Dr. Stephenson is thorough, knowledgeable and communicates clearly. Friendly and efficient staff.
The best office we have ever been to! Dr. Jessica Stephenson is amazing; very engaging, knowledgeable and such a professional. The entire staff is so helpful, from check-in to assisting during the visit to helping to purchase our glasses and contacts. Highly recommended!
I am a patient of Dr. Klaus’. He has always taken the time to work with me to get my very best correction. I am definitely a challenging patient with challenging vision issues. He does not settle for anything but the best. He and his staff are very knowledgeable and professional. I trust him.
I had an eye injury and Dr. Stephenson saw me as a new patient the day after I called. She and her staff are very professional, knowledgeable, and very caring. I had a great visit and will use Dr. Stephenson for my eye needs in the future.
Dr Stephenson was extremely thorough and very professional. We would highly recommend her! Takes lot of time to explain each part of the eye exam. Her staff is also great and took lots of time to assist in picking out frames in our budget. George and Gwen
It was an extremely through and complete exam by Dr. Stephenson. She explained everything describing what I had to look out for and what was found. I look forward to seeing her for my next exam in 1 year.
The doctors at Atlantic Vision Center are professional, thorough and caring. I have been going to Dr. Klaus since I moved to Wilmington 24 years ago. Dr. Stephenson is also excellent. Either Dr. Klaus or Dr. Stephenson sees everyone in our family! They always have the latest and best equipment for the best in eye care. In addition, the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. You cannot get better care anywhere. We enthusiastically recommended Dr. Klaus and Dr. Stephenson. - submitted by Pat Walters Lowery
I had my first appointment here and Dr. Stephenson, as well as the entire staff, was great! She is so personable and you can tell she really cares for the well-being of her patients. The staff took their time and really helped me find the perfect pair of glasses. I can’t wait to see them again next year.
Dr Stephenson is the Best. Very professional and caring. The appointments are not over booked, giving plenty time for each patient with very little waiting between exams (Unlike some of the larger offices) All the staff are courteous and professional treating you as the only patient. The best eye care I have had in my 50 years of wearing glasses. Very convenient location too, on Shipyard right off of College.
I have been seeing Dr. Klaus since I was in preschool (over 30 years) and he is the smartest, most thorough, most gentle, and kindest doctor of any specialty that I have ever seen. The staff is also excellent-- from the front desk to the nurses to the staff adjusting eyewear, I have always been impressed. I highly recommend Atlantic Vision Center!
Lynn Sykes now. I just love Dr. Stephenson and Dr. Klaus. They are very nice and know their profession extremely well!
Very professional, competent and caring optometrists.
