Spectrum Eye Center Reviews ( 250 )

  1. Excellent service, professional staff and a friendly environment with no high-pressure sales tactics. What more could you ask for? They were awesome, thanks!

  2. Excellent service. I highly recommend this vision center. It was fun choosing glasses with Jane. Staff were upbeat – a trait I appreciate in a pt service focused enterprise.

  3. Very disappointed. Order my glasse on Dec.2, 2019. Call 3 different time. 1st time, I were told they not there. 2nd time due to the holiday. No sense to me. The 3rd time , they been on back order. No one call to let me know anything. I call them back on the 31 Dec. Now ita Jan.2, 2020 no glasses.

  4. I have very dry irritated eyes. Lady testing my eyes repeatedly screamed at me to keep my eyes open for longer. She was so rude and her attitude was uncalled for. I came to get relief not to be screamed at and talked to disrespectful.

  5. Dr Keel and her staff are true professionals. They make an exam easy, relaxing, thorough and very professional. Any body looking for an eye Doctor should go to Dr Keel.

  6. Excellent experience with the center and specifically Dr. Keel. I did not have to wait long to be seen. Dr. Keel was very thorough and kind, explaining everything. Will definitely be returning.

  7. This office is truly a wonderful office. I see Dr Bumgartner, and my son saw Dr Athens this morning. The staff is extremely friendly, and kind. I couldnt ask for a better first experience for my son.

  8. I have great confidence in Spectrum Eye because I have received excellent, professional services each time for the past 25+ years. Dr. Kenny Bumgardner and staff are the best!

  9. I have had my eyes checked bv several doctors and Dr. Bumgarner was the most thorough of them. I would highly recommend to anyone that they make an appointment with him and experiernce an excellent examination. The staff is also very accommodating and helpful. I would give them a high 5 star rating.

  10. ….very comprehensive eye exam & not just vision checking…Dr. Keel is thorough & knowledgeable while providing compassionate care…Veronica was friendly, thoughtful & excellent at her job…..wonderful experience all around!

  11. As always, the team at Spectrum Eye Center is fantastic! Client care and processing was smooth and seamless with very little stagnant time. Employee attitudes merit a 10 star rating.

  13. This facility provides excellent professional, compassionate and caring service to their clients. All the staff exemplify friendliness, along with a professional kind and caring manner. I highly recommend that you consider visiting this …

  14. I have great faith in Dr. Keel; however, the time sitting and waiting seems excessive. I would like to receive more information about the findings in writing as well as what the upcoming tech tests are about. What should I be doing in writing would be appreciated. Much information, but documentation was not provided.

  15. As usual, top notch professional service. Highly recommend Dr. Keel. Opticians as well we’re focused on what was best for me, not what could they sell me.

  16. Dr. Keel and her associates were very efficient and friendly. Dr Keel explained everything she was doing in terms I could understand. They were on time and I was out the door very quickly. I highly recommend them for all your eye needs.

  17. Dr. Michele Keel was skillful enough to notice from a minor complaint that I had developed a serious condition that threatened vision in my left eye. She immediately referred me to a retinal surgeon for successful treatment. I would have …

  18. Spectrum Eye Center has excellent patient care by staff and doctors. The staff for eyeglasses is also awesome and very helpful to ensure your satisfaction. Appointment times are convenient, patients are seen in a timely fashion, and handled with care throughout the office.

  19. While the doctors are great the receptionist was awful! Her attitude reeked drunk and the whole ordeal was unpleasant with her- I’d rather pay full price then give them my health insurance!

  20. I developed an eye issue and needed to see a doctor quickly. Spectrum fit me in immediately and this unscheduled visit was handled quickly and professionally. Great service !

  21. I went here when I was in high school (many moons ago) so when I moved back into town this was the only place I considered going. I have a 5 year old and Dr. Keel was awesome with her during her first eye exam! I have always had excellent service from everyone that works here (from the front desk to the glasses/contacts department).

  22. Love the whole experience. From when we arrived early which was nice that we finished earlier than I expected. Love the help from John and Joy in the eye glasses dept. I had a great time getting to know Michele Keel. She was informative , answered all my questions … made me feel comfortable.

  23. We had an emergency weekend visit. Couldn’t have asked for better care! Not only did the dr give up his time covering for our dr who was out of town, our dr called and texted to make sure everything was fine! Can’t ask for better than that!

  24. Highest level of my eye physician’s professional treatment. Support personnel were equivalently dedicated, and managed all aspects of my Dr.’s examination with great care.

  25. I have been going to Spectrum Eye Center and Dr. Kenneth Bumgarner for years! I have always been impressed with their level of care, service and friendliness of the staff. Dr. Bumgarner genuinely care for his patients, and tells you every …

  26. I’m always treated with the best customer care at Spectrum Family Eye Center. Even during these challenging times with Covid-19. They treat you with kindness, make sure you’re comfortable and professionally they cover all the bases of eye care. That’s why I’ve been with them for over 20 years!

  27. Michelle at the check in desk went over and beyond to help me with an issue. Everyone I came in contact with was courteous and helpful. Thank you for a very impressive first time experience.

  28. Dr. Athans has no patience or care for patients outside of normal routine visits. If you have light-sensitivity, he will belittle your pain, and state the light level can be increased and treat you like a hypochondriac. Pain is pain, have a …

  29. I always get the best care here. I been seeing Dr Bumgarner for many any years, and he is so carrying about my eyes.The people here are so awesome and certainly they are so very friendly. Rosie Gilmore.

  30. This is a very professional and well run organization. The Doctors and everyone else I have had contact with are highly motivated, go the extra mile, and top notch, what more could you ask for. I recently had a significant eye infection, …

  31. In my experience, Dr. Athens and his staff are caring and knowledgeable in treating my eyes. I wear both contact lenses and glasses and am seen annually at Spectrum. The staff is very friendly and helpful especially with the antivirus precautions necessary today.

  32. Being my first time to Spectrum Eye I was quite impressed with how friendly the staff was. Also I felt that everything that was done was professional. The staff, Doctor, front desk people etc. made me feel welcome.

  33. The exam process, Dr., and assistants were excellent. The young girl helping to purchase new eyewear was not helpful nor did she seem like she wanted to be. I was told at least a half dozen times to my questions, “I don’t know “ with no …

  34. Always friendly and competent. Thinking my one burning question is whether or not I need to change my prescription for my glasses. It was not mentioned and I failed to ask. Pls advise, if possible. …

  35. Great care and quality, but the wait time is terrible. Appointment at 9:00 am and not done until almost 11:00. Over 60% of time is spent waiting. Patients wait to see the eye specialist so the eye specialist never has to wait for the patients. A terrible inconvenience.

  36. This is literally the best eye doctor I’ve ever been to! Ever single staff member is so warm and welcoming and it was such a wonderful experience! I’ll be letting everyone know to come here and I’ll be going here forever. Thank you Spectrum Eye!

  38. Very well organized and efficient. Doing a good job with social distancing and hand sanitizer available. I have been seeing my eye doctor here for 18 years and have complete trust in the eye care I receive. I would recommend their services to anyone.

  39. From beginning to end I appreciated the kindness and service provided at my appt. The technicians who updated my history and performed my testing were experienced and thorough. Dr Athans took the time to listen to my concerns and worked …

  40. I have been a patient there for two years. I have received my second pair of glasses. Both my doctor and the lab do very good work. I also referred my husband and he was well taken care of. He likes his new glasses quite well. Everyone there is professional and friendly.

  41. Great first-time visit at Spectrum Eye! McKayla was super, all employees from check-in, different testing to Dr. Keel were awesome. Thank you for the thorough & pleasant experience!

  42. Dr. Athans does not take light-sensitive patients seriously and patronized me when I was in visible pain from the examination. This man should has his license removed. Other than him, the staff was completely fantastic and helpful and the …

  43. This was my first visit. Wait time was very good. Great eye doctor and staff. They all made me feel comfortable. If you are looking for excellent eye care go no further, it doesn’t get any better this.

  44. Me& my family love this business,the staff are respectful, professional,& do there best to help you any way they can. Customer service is a top priority here & when you leave you will know it too.

  45. Unfortunately I have not been very proactive with my eyesight. It had been 6 years since my last visit, ouch. I was very pleased with the entire experience. Dr. Athens is always professional and thorough. John the ophthalmologist was great helping me select a new pair of glasses, ok 2.

  46. My daughter will have to have glasses for the first time! The doctor and assistants made the appoint go very smoothly. My daughter was excited! Dr. Keel was amazing! She explained that she was about to expand my daughter’s world! 😊 …

  47. I have been a patient of Dr. Bumgarner for 20 years. He is amazing and his eye exams are extremely thorough. The staff is pleasant and they engage in conversation making you feel important. The convenience of ordering eye glasses is wonderful. I am happy to recommend Spectrum and Dr. Bumgarner for all your eye needs. 🙂

  48. Dr Athens was great! Very nice and knowledgeable. Way better than Carolina eye in getting my prescription correct and bedside manner. Staff was also great! Had to wait a little longer than I expected, but still did not wait anywhere near as long as I used to at Carolina eye. 5 stars for sure!

  49. This was my first experience at Spectrum eye. My former Dr. retired. Everyone was friendly, warm, and thorough!!! I loved how thorough flawless the workflow. I didn’t sit and wait as I transitioned through the office process. I have a …

    No hard sell when I asked for a simple and cheap pair of glasses which would act as my spare whilst I get me regular glasses fitted with new lenses.

  77. My only negative feedback was the time it took to get through the process. Most of the checking was done by the assistant and then I was put in a waiting area to see the doctor for 10 minutes. Whole process took over an hour which is unnecessary.

  78. Dr. Poindexter is very thorough and will ensure your eyes get the right fit. My first prescription did not adjust well with my eyes. I was told my eyes “rejected” the prism lens and he was willing to recheck me and adjust to a different …

  80. At 57, I can say that this was the best experience at an eye care center that I’ve ever had! The level of detail in the initial questioning, getting to know me and my history, and the expertise of Dr. Poindexter, made this an amazing experience. I’ll look forward to my next visit!

  81. Nicest experience I’ve ever had in a doctors office. The staff made me feel so comfortable. Everyone there was happy and in a good mood.. This kept me from being nervous about the exam. The doctor was so nice.and also in a good mood. I will recommend Spectrum to all my friends and family.

    Absolutely loved meeting Dr.Poindexter for the first time.
    Very thorough,and explained in terms I could understand..

  87. Dr. Keel is the best! She takes her time and answers questions. You never feel like you are in a cattle line waiting to be auctioned. Tired of waiting for hours — come to Spectrum!

  88. Up until today they were great but customer service is terrible. Got hung up on when I was told they didn’t take my insurance (but did take its medical version) i simply said well that makes no sense and I asked them to cancel my apt bc …

  91. The patient service is outstanding! Dr. Keen’s exam was thorough, helpful, and in “everyday” language I could understand. I especially commend Emily R. and Ali P. for their professional service during the process.

  92. I LOVE this place! The staff are so bubbly and positive that I leave my appointments feeling like I’ve been visiting with old friends… It does the heart good! They provide incredibly thorough, compassionate care and always make me feel …

  93. Right up to staff’s and Dr. Keel’s outstanding standards of professionalism and friendliness. Although I knew they were short staffed that day, I’d never have guessed from efficiency and cheerfulness I experienced from everyone there.

  94. No parking available. Waited over an hour to see the doctor. Very stressful. I’ve been coming here for 20 years. It was like a cattle herd. Most likely will find a new practice.

  95. I called needing to have an appointment for my eye infection. Got in first thing next morning. Was checked out and left with a prescription for eye drops. After a small snafu with the prescription. All is good now. Thanks so much.. See you in January.

  96. Dr.Keel is very professional, a good listener, thorough in her exam, explaining everything well and makes me feel like she cares for the health of my eyes as well as my whole being. I have been going to her for years and trust her.

  98. Dr. Kenny Bumgarner has been my eye doctor for 38 years since I moved to the Pinehurst area. He has retired, and I had a recent eye appointment with Dr. Michelle Keel with Rebecca assisting. Dr. Keel and Rebecca are very competent and very nice. I highly recommend them.

  99. I have always loved Spectrum Family Eye. Everyone is so friendly, the doctors take time with you. This visit they were running really behind (which is way out of the norm for them) everyone was very apologetic.

  100. Good Dr, service, and decent selection of frames, albeit typical MSRP prices, but I don’t appreciate having an annual appointment automatically scheduled with the threat of a $35 cancellation fee. That’s a poor business practice. If I want …

  101. Dr. Keel provided excellent care for my daughter suffering from vision issues related to a concussion. Her bedside manner was gentle and reassuring and her willingness to seek answers outside of the practice was a breath of fresh air.

  102. Staff is ALWAYS so pleasant and professional at the same time! That’s hard to find now in days!!! I never have to wait long for any services. One of the top 3 best finds I have made since moving here from Las Vegas 13 years ago!!!

  103. Wonderful experience. Well organized “trunk” glasses frames sale. Gave me many options for deciding on a new glasses frame. Alissa is always fantastic, knows her stuff, professional, and patient. And as usual gets my existing glasses realigned when they need it.

  104. We recently purchased a pair of glasses. We were assessed a 3.5 % surcharge which also applies to debit cards. My wife, a former banker questioned your rep who said it was over her pay grade. Upon returning home, we checked it out. …

  105. Great experience! Mica was very professional,efficient and friendly! Dr Poindexter is a great addition to practice…explained things and made sure you understood. Would definitely refer anyone to practice.

  106. My husband and I had our first appointment at Spectrum Eye Center yesterday. I already wear prescription glasses, but he uses only readers when necessary. We could not have asked for anyone to have been more welcoming or nice to us, from …

  107. I have been a patient at the Spectrum Eye Center for over 15 years and I have been more than pleased with the care my eyes received. They are very efficient and take personal interest in every one. Dr. Baumgarten does a through eye exam and I have confidence in his treatments.

  108. Today I met recently retired Dr Kenny B filling in for Dr Keel. What an amazing doctor and how lucky are we to have such talent and kindness willing to step up when needed! Great care and experience.

  109. Great eye care center. I came to them because if insurance coverage, and my favorite eye care specialist is there now. The doctors, staff, contact and glasses staff too, are all really pleasant and knowledgeable people to work with. The …

  110. Dr. Keel is great! She takes her time and is friendly and professional. Alyssa is my go-to- person in picking out frames and making sure I have what I need with my prescription. She also makes sure to go over what my insurance will cover.

  111. Every time I have gone here lately, the rooms have been overbooked. I was there for 1 hr 20 mins for a routine eye exam. I spent 15 minutes in the lobby waiting for a room and then another 15 minutes in the room waiting on the doctor to …

  112. Extremely friendly and pleasant personnel.
    I have been a patient of the clinic for many years.
    My very special is Michele Keel…..always so pleasant and helpful. Very …

  113. Dr Keel and her staff always treat me well. I feel like a guest and not just a patient. I have the utmost confidence in Dr Keel’s abilities and I know she does everything she can to make sure my vision is as good as it can be.

  114. Love my Dr at this location and have been going here for years. This year They implemented a 3.5% surcharge if you pay with a debit/credit or HSA card. I’m not a fan of this so that is the reason for my four stars instead of five. I feel …

  115. I’ve been a patient at Spectrum for over 10 years and have always been extremely impressed with Dr. Keel. I can’t say enough about her professionalism. The issue I have is with the billing department. My most recent appointment went …

  116. As a new patient, I was treated kindly and efficiently by all staff. Very positive experience with minimal wait time. I had a fairly extensive evaluation and had contact with at least 5 technicians and the eye specialist. All were very knowledgable and capable. Would definitely recommend.

  117. I was happy with the service I received up to the point of dealing with the lady in billing, to me, she seemed to have a bit of an attitude. Also, I completely understand the 3.5% fee if paying by credit card but not if using a debit card. Other than the two previous mentioned issues, I would have rated them with 5 stars.

  118. Great experience! They really took time to ask me what my issues were. Hands down has the best assistants in the world! Really took their time to understand what my day-to-day looks like (no pun intended)! As a grad student my glasses were not clear enough and the doctor explained why and what I needed!

  119. Dr. Keel was very personable making conversation during the exam & decreasing my stress. Staff was very detailed in reviewing my history, medications & tests to be completed during my visit. Staff explained tests before starting to decrease …

  120. Spectrum Eye staff were all very kind, professional and caring. We had a little glitch at first about appointment times, but after that everything went smoothly. I waited less than 5 minutes each time I was placed in the waiting area. Dr. Keel is just about the friendliest Dr. I’ve ever had. Everyone was very efficient.

  121. Great experience! Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. No long wait times. I was in and out in 45 minutes. Becca in particular was wonderful to work with. She has a great attitude and her positivity is contagious. She made me …

  122. Great experience at Spectrum Eye Center. The front desk associates were prompt and very nice with. Mr.John was over all just AMAZING! He was very friendly and customer service oriented. He also was very knowledgeable, answered all my …
