Have been going here since I was a child. Almost 16 years. Love it. Love the people who work here.

Inconsistent and rude at times vision therapist but everyone else including other vision therapists are great. Wish they would change to another one.

We were told about eye therapy from a talk Dr. Graebe gave at a local school and thought our son might benefit from an assessment. We were surprised by how the process unfolded, especially a diagnosis of multiple eye conditions and the suggestion that he undergo months of eye therapy at a cost of over $3000 (also, a prescription for glasses that we later learned from an ophthalmologist actually made it harder for him to see). The diagnosis of eye conditions was given to us over the phone by an office manager, who couldn't answer basic questions we had--and given that each appointment costs hundreds of dollars, I was surprised to have not had more interaction with the optometrist. And since I was present for my son's assessment, it seemed a red flag that he was diagnosed as being in the bottom 3% when it came to activities like simply reading letters from a list (which he did at a speed that seemed completely normal as I sat next to him in the assessment). We got a second opinion from an ophthalmologist, and I understand that the training and backgrounds are very different for these two kinds of practices, but there was no trace of the conditions that my son was diagnosed with in this second eye exam. If there had been, though, the doctor told us there are much more affordable ways (e.g. $40 computer programs) for some of these to be fixed. Without any scientific evidence to support the efficacy of a therapy program that costs thousands of dollars, and without a valid second opinion that such a therapy program was even necessary, and given the enormous cost that isn't covered by insurance, it's concerning to know so many families can be convinced to take such measures for their children. My son's reading has completely turned a corner with some extra reading support at his school since last fall when he was "diagnosed." I'd read anecdotal stories from parents about how vision therapy turned things around for kids struggling to read, and I wondered if it was just a coincidence of timing since many kids turn a corner between first and second grade on their own or with help at school ... given our experience I definitely feel like the diagnosis my son received wasn't a legitimate one and wouldn't be surprised if any child coming in would receive something very similar. I've never written such a detailed or negative review before, but this seemed so questionable and predatory to me--and there is no other recourse given that there isn't any meaningful regulation of this kind of practice--but I hope it's helpful for families experiencing something similar to have this kind of context to inform their decision.

Love the doctors and staff here - they're great. Just make sure they use the correct code when sending claims to your insurance company. This has caused headaches for me for the past two years.

We took our child here when a pediatrician suggested she get screened for vision processing. The exam answered so many questions that we as parents had been asking in vain. Our child went through several months of vision therapy. It was expensive. It did take time from work, but today, our child likes reading. She reads on her own, where before she would fight us to read a couple pages. She is playing softball when prior to therapy, a ball would hit her in the face. I even notice her left and right orientation is better. If you have a child struggling with hand-eye coordination, or reading, have them checked out. It made all the difference with our kiddo. The peace of mind is well worth the expense and time devoted to it.
