What Our Patients Say

Everyone was very polite and nice. It was my first visit. The front desk guy was courteous, the tech explained everything she was doing, and the optometrist was personable and professional. The VA scheduled and paid for my eye exam at Gaddis Eye Center because they are backed up for a couple of months. When they realized that they performed an extra eye test that the VA wouldn’t pay for they quickly took it off the bill and comped it. I did pay for my extra contacts exam that wasn’t covered, but I expected that. We moved here from Nashville about a year ago and will recommend that my wife and daughter use them!

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

I really like this place but one criticism is that they aren't open on Saturday.

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.
