  1. They are nice people that works there.I went there last year I want go back A eye exam and glasses cost me 600 dollars out of pocket They are ripping people off

  2. Wanted to give a big thumbs up to Nic for excellent service and professionalism in making the absolute correct choice in my vision along with style.
    👍👍👍👍👍 …

  3. Dont trust their system of appointment. Called to simply set up an appointment and they convinced me to come in at 8am the next morning instead. Only to get there at 8am and not have an appointment set up

  4. I understand Covid precautions, but not being able to go inside to get new glasses is a deal breaker for me, snotty kid replied to my request to get them adjusted inside that he’s been adjusting for a year this way, but I’ll save hundreds and order online next time, at least they deliver to my door by my smiling UPS guy

  5. Told us there was a 10 DAY GUARANTEE to order and cut glasses… Then when they are over the 10 days they don’t do anything but they really just focus on really having them on time. The 10 days guarantee is not a big deal but rather chasing …

  6. Super friendly service they go above and beyond. The whole time I was there beverly smart was able to lend a helping hand and answer any questions or concerns I had. 10/10 would recommend

  7. I went in to look for some new frames and their staff was so helpful. They were all so friendly and attentive and were able to answer all my questions. I would highly recommend them!

  10. i went to other eye doctors in maryville for years growing up. and for years and years i was told that i couldn’t wear contacts because of my prescription. then i went to dr. tantum and guess what…he put me in contacts and i’m never going …

  11. This is the best eye place I have ever been to the doctors were so great and so are the techs Adrianne was so helpful and really put me at ease I really enjoyed my experience there I would recommend it to everyone

  12. Do not waste your time. I came in for an appointment. 3.5 hours later while left and forgotten in the waiting room after being promised that they would ‘get back on track’, I finally left, and asked to be contacted. That call never came. Reached out 3 more times with nothing. Again do not waste your time.

  13. this place has a amazing athletic, it’s a very lay back environment. everyone here is very sweet and so their job quickly and effectively the glasses have amazing quality and all around great service

  16. This place is hands down the friendliest, most professional, and helpful place I’ve been to. They have great staff, great physicians who don’t try to up-sell you or take advantage of you. Always happy with my experience here.

  17. Several issues occurred with BCEC. I purchased 2 pairs of glasses – 1 safety and 1 personal. Issue 1) While at BCEC Joe forgot to charge me the full amount for my safety glasses, resulting in me paying (on a separate trip) even more than …

  20. I’ve had 5 appointments, but only been there twice & they just called to change times AGAIN! my first visit was over 3 hours because they overbooked. Its too bad, because they seem nice & proffessional, but results say otherwise. Im going to cancel next apt instead of playing phone tag.

  21. All of the staff were very helpful and friendly. Dr.Alex, Ryan, and Austin were all extremely efficient, thorough, and knowledgeable. Great experience!

  22. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Lloyd Tantum for several years and have nothing but good things to say about him. I’m sorry he’s scaling back his hours, but he deserves it! My son also goes to BCEC and sees one of the other doctors there. Dr. …

  23. Blount County eye care is the best place for all you vision needs. I really enjoyed the experience thanks to Austin Underwood, and all the other friendly specialists

  24. BCEC is more than just a Doctors office, its a family. The service for the community is outstanding not only with service you recieve while being a patient but the services they provide other outreaches and our own community. I recommend giving a visit if you have not been in before.

  25. Our entire family goes here. They are very accommodating, understanding, patient and helpful. Not to mention their quality and affordable lenses contacts exams and frames! We’ll never go anywhere else

  26. Our family loves BCEC! Doctors Susan and Cassie are knowledge, thorough, and kind. My children’s exams are enjoyable without resistance from them because the staff is patient and explains everything that will be done. Optical and front desk …

  27. Before I start this, I just want to say that Dr. Llyod Tantum is great. This review pains me to write bc I really do think he is wonderful. The fact that I have to go find another eye Dr makes makes me mad, all because the office staff …

  36. I came in for a regular check-up and was helped by Kelsey and Dr. Matt. Kelsey got me settled in and made sure i knew what was going on before she went forward. Dr. Matt helped me realize i was losing my vision and it may be time for glasses.

  39. I highly recommend BCEC. Everyone at the office was very friendly and helpful throughout my visit. The office is beautiful and I’m seeing very well with my new glasses. Thank You

  40. I will not be a repeat customer and will not recommend this place. The ladies at the front are very nice and great, the Dr was great, but the manager over optical is very rude, an attitude and could care less if ur a customer or not. …

  41. Whenever you plan to visit any place of this sort, you carry some sort your personal issue, like some disease or not seeing properly or need to get eye sights checked for any problems, however when you visit BCEC , it is a different game …

  42. Every time I’m in the office, I never have to wait very long to go back for my scheduled appointment. Everyone is so friendly & knowledgeable. The atmosphere & building is welcoming & always super clean.

  43. Glasses, and eye care have always been a struggle for me. Blount County Eye care has been the turning point though. Always welcoming, and even as busy as they may be at times, they treat each customer with patience and care.

  44. The doctors and medical staff are outstanding!! They make the patient’s needs a priority and have a family environment. Our family wouldn’t want to receive care, or have Courtney work, anywhere else!!!!

  45. I enjoy using this office for routine eye examinations. They do not, however, accommodate you if you come down with an infection and need to be seen. I called today for an appointment due to suspected eye infection and I was told the …

  46. Amazing experience here! Austin Underwood has great customer service along with being friendly and helping find the perfect lenses!! 100% recommend!!

  47. I would like to say I have had a good experience with Miss Heather Bryant she gets me in and listens to what the problem is and she let’s the doctor know of anything I might have forget from telling her. …

  48. BCEC is simply the best eye care in East Tennessee. They are far more than annual eye exams, they provide total eye care. Not only do I use them for my annual exams, contacts/eye-wear, but also any and all eye related medical care. I cannot …

  49. I will begin by saying my eye exam was everything you would expect. This is the only reason I gave 2 stars. The Dr was very nice. But you can get an eye exam at Walmart. …

  50. I had an emergency situation with my eye. I had never used this facility prior. They saw me almost immediately…then 2 follow up visits the same week. I can’t imagine any friendlier staff and Dr. Cassie Bruno was absolutely the best – THANK YOU !!! (If I could give 10 stars I would)

  51. I had put off having a comprehensive eye exam for the first 31 years of my life but decided to go make sure there were no hidden issues since my vision insurance would cover it. Dr. Cassie and the staff did a great job making me …

  52. Loved Blount Eye Center. Everyone was so nice and professional and took care of my every needs over and beyond. I highlly recommend them for all your eye care needs

  53. amazing office, great staff and doctors. They have great programs that help with eye glasses. They even have great clearance! I’d recommend this place to anyone. I’ve had awful experiences at other eye doctors but I have nothing bad to say at all about this one.

  54. It’s been almost five weeks since we took our daughter’s prescription in, and while we’ve gotten a number of excuses for why they haven’t been able to get the glasses, we still don’t have them. They claim “ The region’s largest eyewear gallery and an in-house optical lab,” but we’ve been sorely disappointed.

  55. Was referred to this place by a church friend who knows the difficulties we have with our 9-year-old Downs/Autistic daughter. Just the atmosphere alone is clean, calming and comfortable. Then when you add the top-quality customer service, …

  58. Dr. Will is an amazing Dr.! He came up here to Montana, to work for our eye Dr for a couple of months, and he was loved by ALL!! Members and his staff here were very sad to see him go. If you need eyecare….go see him, you won’t regret it!!

  62. My first experience with BCEC was wonderful. I had issues with my glasses the second time around. They reached out to me and offered to replace my glasses with any other glasses on the market free of charge. This went a long way to help with my bad experience at the company.

  63. I came in for an eye exam on Saturday and was greeted by polite and friendly staff. Dr. Sarah performed my eye exam and took the time to really understand what was going on with my eyesight. I love the staff here and would highly recommend this place to anyone!

  98. If you’re looking to go somewhere that you’ll be treated with respect, don’t go here. We sat and listened to their staff make fun of patients to each other for half an hour while we waited to be seen. Extremely unprofessional behavior.

  99. Everyone is super nice. Jessica Harper who works in the glasses department is amazing. She was able to help me get a great pair of glasses on a budget.

  104. The staff at the front desk was very polite. I recommend Dr. Alex as it was a pleasure to be seen by him today. Extensive eye exam, large selection of lenses and frame options. The rustic theme in the lobby is lovely.

  105. Front desk staff is incredibly kind and Dr. Alex who I saw for my visit was awesome! However, when it comes to ordering contacts, it’s a no for me. You have to stand around for great lengths of time before you’re even acknowledged. The …

  106. I saw Dr. Matt today and he was unbelievably helpful and kind. I went in nervous and he helped me sort everything out. I instantly felt at ease around him and really appreciated him taking his time. The nurse I had was so friendly as well. Overall, great experience!

  108. Had a 2:15 appointment. Arrived at 2, wasn’t seen until 3 and by then I had already had the frames I wanted picked out. Dr. Sarah was pretty good, but the people who sell you frames seemed kind of upset that I had taken the time to choose …
