The atmosphere of the entire office is great from the moment you walk in the door to the time when you leave. The entire staff is professional, friendly and respectful. Dr Paxton is the greatest! I will definitely recommend that my friends and family come here the next time they need vision care.

I visited due to a friends recommendation and was extremely impressed with the quality of service from the front line staff, to the Dr. himself. Dr. Benjamin Paxton was absolutely wonderful and took the time to educate me about everything he was doing. The professional staff that did the work prior to the doctor walking in were out of this world. I really couldn't imagine a better place to go now that I've been. Also, if you need to get your eye's checked, consider the Optomap instead of getting your eyes dilated. It was worth the convenience in my opinion. I was reminded 4 times of my appointment and when I arrived 5min before I was to be seen in less than 10min and I was done in about 40min

Overall, I like Gaddie Eye Center fine. I was able to get in fairly quickly for an unexpected issue. Dr. Bassett is super sweet and even did extra research for an issue I was having. I really appreciated that. I do, however, wish they would be more upfront about the cost of appointments before being seen, rather than telling me the cost after the appointment when I don't have a choice but to pay. I also wish they would inform patients of additional costs of certain things they do during an appointment (such as taking pictures). I was not aware it was an additional charge until I checked out. Otherwise, I think it's a good place for general eye care.

I had a wonderful experience. I have been to competitors and the level of service at Gaddie Eye Centers vs. the others can't be measured accurately with stars. I would highly recommend these physicians and their staff.
