  1. I have and continue to appreciate the expertise and service I receive at Excel Eye Center. The one thing negative I experience is the inconvenience of your parking lot. Every time I go there I am concerned because the parking spaces are so …

  2. After failing my Driver’s License renewal, I visited Dr. Morris at Excel Eye Center. He was so kind and has a great sense of humor. He helped me figure out the perfect prescription and after receiving my new glasses, I could see all the little trees on the mountains!

  3. I have had several excellent doctors at this facility. I have also been very happy with the glasses I have purchased through them. I have high index, progressive lenses, so quality is very important to me.

  4. I’ve seen a few eye doctors in the area and Dr. Mason Schmutz is my absolute favorite!! He is so kind and helpful. I have also been very pleased with the office staff- always kind, quick, and pleasant. Would definitely recommend this office and Dr. Schmutz!

  7. What I disliked about my experience:
    1) The receptionists were totally ignorant about my insurance and refused to help me with it. They just kept saying that it wouldn’t cover anything. However, …

  9. Thanks to the Excel Eye Center of Provo ‘s professional staff my vision loss due to a rare complication has been restored. Deanna has been especially delightful to work with. She made me feel relaxed and comfortable with all my tests and follow-ups. Thanks Deanna!

  10. Dr Wilkinson removed the cataracts from both of my eyes a few months ago and put lenses back in my eyes. He explained to me then that it might get cloudy which it did. I came back and he corrected both of them. He has always been very …

  11. The technicians were very efficient and friendly who helped before I saw Dr. ricks. Dr. ricks seemed concerned and very professional. I felt I got very good care. Thank you.

  12. They are very professional. I like the environment. The reason for the 4 starts is because the first few times I went in I was waiting there for about an hour. Other than the waiting time, the staff was great. The treatment I got done healed properly and everything seems to be fine.

  13. Quick to see me when I had an emergency. Good sense of urgency. Explained everything very well, helped us on our billing, answered every question and more. Thanks Excel!

  17. I went in hoping to get contacts, the doctor came in and told me he wouldn’t give me contacts and no other doctor would either. He also told me no one would ever perform corrective eye surgery on me, because no one would want to be liable …

  18. I have 20/20 vision after cataract surgery! Highly recommended. I often have to wait a half.hour past the appointment time, but that is a small price to pay. I am very partial to Dr. Justin Wilkenson.

  19. The doctor was good to listen to my questions. He also took the time to explain a problem I will be having, but there’s no reason to be concerned about it now.

  20. I’d rate the optholmologists and their assistants, and the opticians at 5 stars. They were friendly and capable, and the equipment used in the eye exams is more up-to-date than other vision clinics I’ve been to, and I’ve been to a lot of …

  21. The staff, including front desk, and medical, are friendly and efficient. They have taken good care of me in regular as well as emergency situations! I appreciate their wonderful service!

  23. I have been going to Excel Eye Center since experiencing a major eye injury almost 2 years ago. I have referred numerous people to Excel both for all the expertise available in one location, and the great staff. I can’t overstate the treatment and care I have received, particularly from Dr. Wilkinson and Dr. Parson.

  24. Great office and staff. Went in for checkup and had a couple tears in retina. They were able to get me right over to repair my tears with laser. Saved me from losing sight in my left eye. Great follow up. They were very on top of my care and aftercare.

  25. I have to give kudos to Dr. Lohner’s staff. They were incredibly busy, but handled it so well. They were really communicative. Thank you for making me feel like my eye exam was a priority when I know you were juggling other cases too.

  26. The Excel Eye Center is the only place I go for eye care. Every one is friendly as I enter and I can usually be informed when I ask how long the wait will be. I see Dr. Parsons and I usually have a long wait for Dr. Parsons, however he is …

  27. Great place for eye care. They do it all from my annual check ups to selling glasses frames and even providing affordable lasik options. I recommend them no matter your need.

  28. The staff was nice and friendly but that’s all I can say good about this place. Years ago I used to come here because it was covered under my parents insurance. It seemed fine. Then I got married and my husband could always see better than …

  29. The doctors and staff at Excel Eye Center in Provo are always fantastic! I’ve been going to Excel for years, even as I’ve moved around the county, I choose to drive the distance necessary to go to the office I know and trust.

  33. I ended up in the Provo office entirely by accident, but I’d like everyone to know it was a blessing in disguise. First of all I made the apt. with the wrong office, and arrived 30 minutes late. However, despite clearly being busy they …

  34. I am not one to give negative reviews but my experience with this eye center has been so frustrating. I took my daughter’s glasses in there to have the lenses replaced. First, I waited for about 15 min because the person was unable to pull …

  35. I have seen Dr. Wilkinson twice in the last 6 weeks. He has helped me with my overall eye health and plans for optimum vision in the future as I continue to age. Dr. Wilkinson and staff are very thorough and I appreciate their expertise and kindness!

  36. Dr. Thueruer and Precious and all the staff have always been so good to my husband and me. We appreciate their kindness and consideration every time we have an appointment. The ladies in the front office are also so kind and helpful.

  37. My grandma has been coming to excel for years and the only complaint she would have is that it takes time to find an appointment. Everything else they are profesional, kind and patient when doing the eye exams. You can tell they are busy yet they still take their time to make sure they give you a good service.

  41. We had a great experience at excel eye center. The staff was friendly and professional. Dr Wilkinson took the time to answer all my questions and help me understand what was going on with my vision and what things we should do in the future to help it.

  42. Worst company policy I’ve ever heard of. Terrible service. Don’t know how they have such good reviews. Over priced and if they break your glasses when working on them they don’t give you a refund or replacement. They want you to buy a new …

  43. Worst office staff, worst doctor. I confirmed with my insurance web site, I confirmed with a phone call and at the day of my appointment I confirmed with the girl at the front desk if they indeed take my plan and it was a resounding YES. …

  44. My little boy got hit directly in the eye and had blood in his iris. Dr. Wilkinson was very caring and cute with my little guy.

  49. I didn’t have a very good experience here. When I got my first exam, the doctor was okay and nice. That part was okay but when I went in to try and get glasses, I was treated very badly. I was on Medicaid for pregnancy and went to get some …

  50. Excel Eye care is great. The waiting time is zero and the Doctors took the time to fully examine my eyes and when they identified a possible Macular hole in my eye they not only referred me to a Specialist for treatment but they had an …

  52. The staff here are so friendly and prompt here. I had an eye emergency and Dr. Schmutz came in on a Sunday to take care of me and refer me for a retinal detachment. After my surgery, I then needed a lens replacement. I was able to make an …

  57. Staff at Excel Eye Center were Outstanding in the services they provided. The staff were professional kind and thoughtfully involved at all times. Our ophthalmologist, Dr Theuer, was as well. We would highly recommend anyone to seek services here!

  58. We had such a great experience coming here to visit Dr. Schmutz. I have never had eye problems before but he made it a comfortable experience for me and helped me understand my eyes better. I will definitely be going back for all of my eye appointments, and will recommend my friends and family to visit this office.

  59. I have never been disappointed at Excel eye. Dr. Wilkinson has diagnosed my eye care with great care, and he and the technicians are very pleasant and positive. Thank you for taking care of me.

  60. My elderly Dad saw Dr Parsons today for a newly developed eye problem. Dr Parsons immediately put my Dad at ease and completely explained the procedure, pros and cons, and answered all his questions. Dr Parsons, and his Tech, Sunny, were …

  61. I went to Excel for PRK. Net: NO PAIN!!!
    Leading up to the procedure, I was expecting the worst. I was expecting a week of serious eye discomfort and pain. All of my pre-op work more or less agreed …

  68. The doctor who saw me, I think Dr. Morris, was great. He listened, examined, and treated my changed vision efficiently. I was on my way in no time, satisfied.
    However, one of the 4 secretaries in the front desk who checked me in almost …

  76. I just wanted to take a few minutes to say how much I appreciate Dr. Christopher Ricks.

He answered all of my questions clearly..

  91. They are concerned with your eye care and will spend the time needed to help you with your treatment. They have very good support staff assisting the doctors and you.

  92. They were able to diagnose my eye prescription and help me with a condition. However, when they dilated my eyes they did not give me any type of coverage at all. It was a bright and sunny day and it made driving extremely difficult. I never knew they offered eye covers after the fact I left. Nice staff and doctors though.

He is very personable and attentive, quick to respond effectively to any new concerns. He is active in humanitarian services abroad and I have great confidence in his knowledge and experience.

  142. I feel very comfortable with the office and staff at Excel. They always spend plenty of time with me and explain thoroughly what they are doing and why. Dr. Theurer makes me feel secure because he is really concerned in my eye health.

  143. This review does not reflect on the doctors at Excel Eye Center but on one of their billing policies. Beware if you are a new patient or are not a new patient but have not had an appointment there in the last three years! My 30-yr.-old …

  144. Capable, knowledgeable staff and providers with a great bedside manner. Excellent care whether it’s just an annual checkup or a true vision-saving emergency procedure. We’ve experienced both lately and we are grateful for the crew at Excel. Thanks for all you do.

  145. Dr. Ricks is amazing! I’m 52 and have been wearing glasses/contacts since I was 8. I looked into getting Lasix a few years back but wasn’t a candidate. First visit with Dr. Ricks he told me about an implant procedure that I was a …

  151. I have been going to excel eye center in Provo for more years than I can remember. I’ve seen Dr Parsons nearly the whole time. Happy for him that he is retiring but sad for me that he will no longer be my eye doctor. He has been an awesome …

  152. Dr. Ricks is the best! I was a first time patient referred to Excel Eye Center and was so impressed by how professional, kind and helpful all of the staff here was. I have been to several ophthalmologists and optometrists over the years and …

  154. Dr. Ricks performed my PRK vision correction surgery and I highly recommend him! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and ultimately someone I felt comfortable with performing a procedure on my eyes. Dr. Ricks also respected me and my …

  155. I got a PRK procedure done here a few months ago and I have nothing but good things to say. Dr. Ricks and the staff here at Excel Eye Center took time to make sure I understood what to expect and I felt very supported when my nerves kicked …

  156. I love that all of the eye doctors here actually went to medical school and really know what they’re talking about. I waited well past my appointment time to get called back, but it was well worth it. I saw Dr. Morris and he was the best! …

  160. All of the staff were very friendly and professional. I feel very blessed to have Dr. Wilkinson laser my eye for me. It made him and staff members stay after hours and everyone was so accommodating. My eye has healed well and Dr. Wilkinson …

  161. I have had seven eye surgeries and wonderful care from the doctors at Excel Eye Center, specifically Dr. Matthew Parsons and Dr. Mason Schmutz. They have preserved my vision which would have been lost due to hereditary glaucoma. Their assistants and the front desk people have also been very courteous, friendly, kind, and helpful.

  162. Everyone in the office was great with my 14 year old daughter. They were so thorough and friendly. We were being seen for a potentially scary eye condition but no one made her feel anxious or scared.

  163. From the time we arrived to the time we left was almost TWO HOURS. I don’t understand why Dr. Woolley so tightly schedules his patients like that. I don’t think the doctors and office managers understand that elderly people have lives and …

  164. Great place but go prepared to spend some time there because the shortest it has ever been for me is about 90 minutes. From time I arrive to leaving has taken over 2 hours before. They are thorough and good so it’s worth it to me. And I get …

  167. Excel Eye Center is the best place for all things eyes hands down. Dr Wilkinson has given my son new life with a cornea transplant. His vision went from 20/700 to 20/40. A simple thank you isn’t enough! All of the employees in all offices are so great as well!

  172. Dr. Morris was wonderful. I’m in my late 30’s and this was my first eye doctor appointment and it was great experience—fun even! He is very positive and encouraging throughout the appointment. …

  173. I had PRK done with Dr Ricks and had a great experience. I knew what to expect every step of the way. When I had a small infection arise in my after care Dr Ricks went above and beyond to make sure I had the medication I needed and called to follow up a few days later. I would definitely recommend working with Dr Ricks.

  177. Professional, excellent communication, very knowledgeable, caring, humor, “Excels” in every concern you have through listening to you and then offering your choices for resolution.

  178. They were knowledgeable and professional. The doctor was also focused on the health of the eyes. However, the patient doctor connection was lacking. It felt more as an assembly line vs a real relationship.

  179. I’ve seen Dr. Morris and Dr. Loveless for optometry, and Dr. Ricks performed cataract surgery on both my eyes last month. I have felt valued and cared for, and the results of the surgery and other treatments have been nothing short of …

  180. I had a great experience with Dr. Schmutz and his tech Celine. Everyone was very kind and helpful.

  183. When Dr. Parsons retired, he transferred my care to Dr. Woolley. I saw Dr. Woolley for the first time recently and was very pleased with the care and time he and his staff spent with me. I have gone to Excel Eye Center for years and highly recommended them.

  184. We have been coming here for years, even after moving out of state. Dr. Ricks handled our PRK procedure efficiently and professionally. He helped us weigh all the options in a no pressure situation. I would recommend family, friends, and …

  185. Dr Gunther is probably the most useless Doctor on the planet. I would take my grandmother to see him and he would just say there is nothing to do but keep taking vitamins. Her eyesight got worse and a nurse taking care of her now was able …

  186. Dr. Ricks was awesome! He explained every step of the procedure and that helped with my anxiety over the surgery. I had cataract surgery and had the new lenses that helps me see close and far. I love them, and am now seeing 20/20. Thanks so much Dr. Ricks, please consider him for your cataract surgery.

  187. I was so pleased with Excel Eye Center. We were stuck on the freeway for and hour from a terrible accident. Making me an hour late for my appointment. They took me right in and I didn’t have to wait at all. Everyone was very pleasant and professional

  188. Everyone was fantastic! In particular, the first lady that did the majority of the eye tests, her name is Kimmy. She was quite probably the sweetest and most helpful person I have ever found in the medical field. Full stop. …

  189. I was checked in by a knowledgeable, charming, efficient receptionist, waited for a very short time before being shown to the exam room by yet another friendly, efficient individual. After a brief work-up prior to meeting with the doctor, I …

    Otherwise, very unimpressed with the administrative staff at the Provo location…seem to be bothered when patients need to check in/out etc., unwelcoming …

    They are friendly, considerate and knowledgeable. The physicians that I have …

  195. I was very pleased with my experience of going for an eye exam at excel eye center. The staff and doctors are welcoming, and professional. They explain what they are doing and help you understand about your eye health. They definitely focus on quality care for each patient!

  196. We loved Dr. Gunther. I had To bring my 3 yr old in for an eye checkup, and Dr. Gunther was very happy, engaging and fun for my little (and distracted and non-cooperative) boy! His assistants also were friendly and professional. Very pleased 🙂

  197. Dr. Ricks is fantastic! He is very professional and an expert in his field. His team (including Hunter) are also excellent! I am overjoyed with my results from LASIK & recommend their team to everyone. Thank you for this amazing gift!

  200. Dr Rick is amazing!!! He explains everything and was so good with my 14 year old son. My son had a clogged oil duct that had to be drained. He was very kind and gentle with him and did an amazing job. I can’t say enough, they also called …

  201. Can’t say enough good things about Dr Lambert! He’s very personable and does an excellent job teaching you about your eyes and answering your questions. Even with a busy schedule, he took extra time to make sure I had excellent care. Best Ophthalmologist I’ve ever been too!

  203. Came to excel on recommendation of a friend. I had been looking into either Lasik or PRK. Dr. Ricks did a fantastic job of answering my questions and walking me through my options. I went with PRK and have zero regrets. Went from a -3.0 in each eye to 20/15 vision. Fantastic staff, great doctors, would recommend to anyone!

  204. My wait time was minimal. The procedure was very fast and almost painless. The facility is clean and the staff members are friendly and efficient. My eyes are remarkably better in just one day.

  205. Dr. Justin Wilkinson is one of the best he is thorough, he listens and runs needed test. My daughter suffered a trauma to her cornea and had to have several surgerys plus a cornea transplant and she couldn’t have been in better hands.

  206. The people are great (Dr. Woolley was especially easy to work with) but a basic eye exam is $457. This was too high even for my insurance so I still had to pay $158 (compared to $75 at Costco that has more up-to-date equipment).

  207. I found Dr. Theurer about two years ago. He has helped me through a couple of serious problems with my eyes, and I trust him explicitly to know how to help me in any situation. I am extremely grateful for his attention and expertise. The staff at Excel Eye Center are efficient and professional.

  208. I always have a good experience, the whole team is willing to help, they are very very nice and kind. I have visited Órem, Provo and American Fork offices and I always receive the best attention. I recently got lasik and I was super better than expected, Dr Wilkinson and his team were amazing!

  209. I had PRK surgery here and it was a great experience. Dr. Ricks is the nicest person and he made me feel comfortable leading up to the surgery and during the surgery. He always has time to answer my questions and he makes me feel heard. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who is looking to get PRK surgery done.

  210. Don’t go here for an eye exam. Find yourself a better place. I went in to get an exam, when I got my glasses, my prescription was way off. When I returned again for the fix, they said they had a slight change but that it was still showing …

  211. I got the PRK laser procedure and Dr. Ricks especially is really amazing. He’s knowledgeable and clearly explains the procedure and what to expect. He confidentially and empathetically answers concerns and is extremely personable. A++++ …

  212. I took my elderly client to see Dr. Gunther for her macular degeneration. He was very professional and thoughtful. He was very easy to talk to and answered questions in a thorough manner. He was gentle and positive. I worked as an RN for 40 years and can say he is an exceptional physician and person.

  213. I saw Dr Ricks for my PRK. I am completely satisfied. I would recommend his services to anyone wanting to have this procedure done. He has been kind, helpful, and professional through the entire process. I have had great outcomes and am already seeing 20/15 after just a few weeks.

  215. I had good experiences with the doctors here so I thought when I needed some lenses for some special frames I had purchased I would also be taken care of by the optical center. They were BRAND NEW frames in perfect condition. They were …

  216. I had cataract surgery on both eyes a year ago, with Dr. Christopher Ricks performing the surgery. I opted for progressive lenses. I absolutely love them. I was warned about seeing halos around lights at night, but it isn’t a problem. I …

  217. Had a dense cataract. Basically was blind in my right eye. Dr. Ricks and the crew at Excel were AWESOME. The surgery went perfectly and I had 1000000% confidence in Dr Ricks. So kind and professional and now my cataract is gone! 5 Stars across the board.
