Reviews of Somers Eye Center (Ophthalmologist)

My wife and I have both used Lenscrafters for years but recently we thought a change was in order after Lenscrafters moved to a location further away from us, so we tried Somers Eye Center located in the North Kansas City Hospital tower. Two pairs of glasses from them in a row have both fallen apart now literally while my wife was laying in bed reading at night and not even two months after getting them back from being fixed - so they have both fallen apart!!! None of the glasses we got from Lenscrafters or even Sam's Club ever did this. The screws are very small even smaller than my jeweler's screw driver and these frames go haywire when they come apart so of course we have to make an appointment to get them fixed which is a huge pain and major inconvenience. And they do not seem to like to hand out new cases with their $300+ pairs of glasses unless you ask specifically for one. I would have to say do not be fooled by a location in a major hospital which they are not actually affiliated with, this outfit clearly does not know how to make a pair of glasses. At least, not glasses that can hold together for longer than 6 weeks of reading books in bed or sitting in the office. That seems really poor for the $300+ purchase price for each pair.

I had debris spray into my eye at a house fire. He was my third different eye doc visit and the only one who caught the 2nd abrasion. He is thorough and direct, doesnt mince words but he is dedicated to making sure your eyes are good to go. Also does Lasik eye surgery. I plan on using him. I really like his staff. They remember you and you can be formal or casual talk with them. They are very kind. I recommend this place!

1st time visiting, after several years of the same prescription I decided to have my eyes checked. getting to the office was easy and parking was close by. I arrived on time and was presented with papers to fill out. The process took all of 5 minutes before I was taken to the exam room. The girl who took me back greeted me with smiles and a happy attitude making me feel comfortable. After she ran a few tests the doctor came in about 3 minutes after she left, he greeted me, smiled and proceeded to perform additional tests and observe my eyesight. His explanation was thorough, his demeanor was humorous and fun, he was intelligent and genuine. He explained my issues and asked if i had any questions...He didn't seem hurried nor anxious to "move on" to the next patient putting me at ease that he wanted to make sure everything I had concerns with, were covered. All the staff was nice, the office ran professionally the Doctor was genuine and professional as well. Great experience, I'll go back again when needed.

I was very satisfied with the care and patience that Dr. Somers had given me when I had gone in for my eye exam. He put me at ease by answering all of my questions about an eye condition that I have been worried about developing. He's very thorough with his exams, the atmosphere is comforting and the staff is wonderful.

Dr. Somers put in punctal plugs for me. He was so quick it was over before I knew it! And it didn’t hurt a bit. I would definitely recommend him for all your eyecare needs.
