Reviews of Martinez Eye Associates

Jessica Gibson

I absolutely loved the customer SERVICE, friendliness of the staff, and the pricing is AMAZING!!!! They are very knowledgeable, funny, friendly, respectful, and made me and my daughter less nervous about the whole process. Me, my husband, and my daughter have all been here so far. After today, I will be bringing my other children as well. Keep up the great work! YOU'RE AWESOME!!!!!

Douglas Finkelstein

This is by far the best optometrist office I’ve ever been to. The staff are exceptionally nice and Valerie is the absolute best. I was in a bad spot with my eyes and Valerie completely took care of me and went way beyond what I could’ve expected. I’m thankful for her help and very happy to be a patient there.

Kristy Dean

Dr. Valerie Gallo, is the best, and her team. She is very thorough, spends time to answer questions and go over everything with you. I have worked for Optometrist and Ophthalmologist- probably a total of 20 years, put together. I have great respect and confidence in her.

Ayiana Herrera

There’s never a wait, just come on time for your appointment, get things filled out and shortly they bring you right to the back. Great customer service and attitudes. Always a pleasure coming here and never any problems. I leave as quickly as I come in and I’m very happy with my experiences.

Calvert Sproul III

Madhu and the entire staff couldn't be more helpful and accommodating! Terrific people, fast glasses (under an hour!) and options for any budget. Highly recommended!

Jeannene Miller

I love Martinez's Eye Associates. Best place to go. Staff is wonderful and very efficient.

Kim Davies

I’ve been going here for years - Great experience - Everyone was nice and helpful and Dr Gallo was very pleasant and informative.

Quentin Price

Love this place, I go here and I take my children here. The staff is friendly and very helpful, especially Morgan who is extremely knowledgeable and remembers you when you come in which makes you feel even more welcome. The doctors are patient and don’t mind answering questions, and they have given me the best and most accurate prescriptions of my life, I had no idea it was possible for me to see so well. I’ve been going here for about 6 years or so now and I’m so glad I found them. You will not regret going here for sure!

Douglas Brooks

The front staff ,nurse and the optometrist were very helpful and professional .This is only for the eye exam part of eye mart express.

Karim Sermon

Love the doctor she been doing my exams for three years thank u so much I love all Eyemart employees they are the best

Erika Wise

The Associates here are awesome. All of the associates are friendly, honest and kind. The doctor is thorough with her exams ans answers all questions. She even acknowledges the issues I might have with my large pupils and warned me about vision issues that will come. The prices are excellent here also.

Eunice Perry

I love Dr. Valerie, she is the best. It’s not just another eye exam, she is dedicated to the overall health of your eyes. If she feels you need further examinations or a different treatment plan that’s what you’re going to get! Some places just want to give an exam and sell glasses, not here!!! The staff is friendly and committed to service !! This is the place for me!

Angeline Evans

Our experience was wonderful. Even though they were short staffed, we were greeted immediately upon our arrival. After doing the necessary paperwork, we were taken back by the young lady at the front desk began the process. The exam was competent, thorough and completely quickly. Dr. Gallo is excellent. We'll never go elsewhere.

Harriet Flowers

I absolutely love my eye doctor!! She is very thorough and explains in detail what she’s doing and why. She is kind and very courteous. I get the absolute best eye care there!!

Brenda Barrs

I got my eye exam yesterday at Martinez Eye Associates and actually was able to see the same eye doctor that examined my eyes eleven years ago and I was very happy about that, Dr.Daniels and he’s a very good doctor and takes his time to explain everything to you and you can relax because he is so knowledgeable in his work and I recommend him and Martinez Eyy Associates to anyone that needs to get their eyes examined. I didn’t have to wait long at all either. I definitely give them an A+ Everyone that works there are also very kind and helpful to their patients. I will continue to go there for my eye examination.

Gena Bothe

My family has been going to Martinez eye Associates for a couple years now. The front desk staff are always friendly and accommodating, and the doctors are wonderful. I had an eye infection, and they fit me into their schedule right away, so I was able to start treatment immediately. The follow-up care was thorough, they take eye health seriously!

The Real Mrs Jones

Update: It's been 7 years now and the staff and doctor are still great. I always enjoy coming in for my annual exam. I have been going to Martinez Eye Associates for the past 5 years. The staff has always been really nice and the price is great. The office is very clean and the small waiting area is set up for social distancing.. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for eye exams for glasses and/or contacts.

Laquita Mitchell

The employees at Martinez Eye Associates are always welcoming. They take the time to answer all of my questions and are very accommodating. I love them so much that I even bring my son for his eye exams. I recommend everyone to give them a try.

Jeanie Cook

Great dr & staff . Took great steps to make sure I understood .

Millie Latimer

I highly recommend Martinez Eye Associates. Dr. Gallo and the entire staff were very through and results explained to me at each step. 👍👍👍👍👍 …

Aaron King

Dr. Gallo and her staff were incredibly thorough and friendly. They took time to explain my eye health fully. It was a great experience and I came away confident in my eye care choices. I will not be going anywhere else.

Sam Alewine

Madhu was the associate that helped us. She was very courteous and professional in helping us and answering all of our questions. Hopefully when we go back, we can work with her again.

Robb Jackson

Appointments are quick and easy to make, the staff is friendly and helpful and the wait time is low. The Doctors are friendly and professional and do their job thoroughly. It was almost enjoyable. 😊 …

J-J Mc.

I visited Martinez on 9/1/21. This was a few weeks after my daughter visited for an eye exam. She was so pleased with the care and patience she received from Dr. Gallo. I, too, received the same level of professional care. I was considering leaving prior to Dr. Gallo and the new staff coming on board. So, cudos to Dr. Gallo and the newly improved staff. 👍🏻

Todd Archer

Great experience. Staff very knowledgeable, patient and willing to explain everything in detail. Dr. Gallo was exceptional! Took time to try different contact lenses for the best vision possible. I have been a contact wearer for 35+ years, but needing something different now, she was very helpful. Would recommend Martinez Eye Associates to anyone!

Deedra Heriot Sons

I was very impresses with the system they have put in place to handle COVID-19. At no time did I feel like there was a chance I would come in contact with the virus. The staff was constantly disinfecting surfaces that the public came in contact. Dr. Valerie Gallo gives the most comprehensive eye exam I have ever had. She will spend the time that is needed to get your vision as close to perfect as she can. Wonderful staff. Great service.

Karen Frye

The Doctor went well above to make sure she showed me all the options

Meliss Eddings

Very positive exam! I love the digital part.

Michele VanPatten

I have mixed reviews......the optometrist is AMAZING! This is the first time I have had her and she worked very hard to find the correct lenses I need. She even told me she hesitated to give me bifocals and wanted to try the new prescription first. I would go back to her in a heartbeat! However, the girls that work the front desk need to learn some professionalism and math. I tried to call there 3 times to make an appointment and even left a message but never got a call back. To actually make an appointment I had to stop by. When I went back for the exam I was asked if I wanted the extras - one was a deeper look at the eye and the other was to check peripheral vision. I wanted the look deeper into the eye as I know my vision has gotten worse but I didn't feel I needed the peripheral vision test. They told me the price then said if I got both along with my $15 copay, the total would be $50. According to the separate prices they told me and the total price, it was a savings of $10 to get both tests. I even said to them, "Oh, so it is a deal if I get them both." "Yes, it is a good deal." So I got both tests. I went to pay and I was charged $60. I spoke up and was told I was quoted $50 (the girl ringing me up had also been in the room). She said the girl made a mistake and the actual cost was $60. Not impressed and I will not be going back as long as those girls are there. Hoping wither the optometrist or these girls find a new place.

I'm new here to Columbia South Carolina and before I came down here I looked at reviews of where I could go to have my eyes checked. I couldn't have made a better choice, the staff is so friendly and the eye doctor was very attentive and thorough and took her time to make sure I received the care that I needed. If you need an eye doctor, and you're looking for good care and treated with respect, then by all means, this is the place to go.

Icequeen143

I love this place so much! Everyone that works here- from the receptionist to the doctor- is very courteous and friendly. They listen to your concerns and provide you with wonderful care. This is my 2nd time coming here for an eye exam and I bring my children here, also. I would recommend this place to anyone. Hands down the BEST place to receive eye care and get glasses!!!

Kathy Stewart

My experience was a pleasant one. I felt safe with the Covid-19 protocols they have in place. The doctor was thorough and spent time making sure I understood and answered all my questions. I liked that she wasn’t rushing in and rushing out. Everyone I interacted with during my visit was friendly and professional.

Sherry Cates

Staff is very helpful and friendly. Doctor is very thorough and attentive. Office is comfortable and provides great COVID safety accommodations. This would have been 5 stars except the wait time to be seen was about an hour and a half.

Jacquelynn Shuler

The staff and Dr. We're understaffed, the day I went. You wouldn't know it. They were very professional not in a rush. Explained throughout the visit. Making sure I understood asked if I had questions. Great experience.

Brenda Stinson

The people were friendly and courteous to me. The Dr. Was outstanding I couldn't ask for better service.

Pat Dunbar

I've been getting my eyes examined here since they opened. Great doctors and staff.

Jean Pesce

Madhu provided very helpful advice in choosing among available options for my glasses. She was also very concerned that the temporary air conditioning arrangements were affecting me, which they weren't. My only regret was not being able to use a mailed coupon because it was at home 45 miles away. Since it was sent through my contact info, couldn't that be accessed through the same system at the time of purchase (as available at Vitamin Shoppe)?

Nell Davis

I had a very wonderful and rewarding experience during my appointment with Martinz Eye Associates (Eye Mart). The associates took their time and explain every little detail about the things I had questions about. They also explain the different types of eyeglass lenses and which one would benefit me the most, according to what the Optometrist referred. At the end of my visit, I was truly satisfied! EyeMart Express (Harbison), Columbia, SC is an awesome place to visit.

steffie Godbolt

I had intended to submit a review after my appointment which was actually my very first appointment with this practice but it somehow escaped my memory. Here's my backstory, I was hopping from eye clinic to eye clinic because my former optometrist of over 15 years had moved out of state. Dr. B was the consummate professional, provided above standard examinations, valued patient care, but most importantly, he had a wonderful personality. After trying 5 different eye doctors over a five year span, I came across Dr. Mallory Troyer's name and optimistically booked my appointment. From start to finish, my eye examination was one of most thorough on record since Dr. B and frankly, I was uncertain that another doctor would this meticulous but Dr. Troyer did not disappoint. I was involved in a car accident which caused some mild retina detachment, I never mention this issue during examinations because I'm honestly holding back to see if the doctor diagnoses it. Guess what, Dr. Troyer immediately noticed it, asked tons of questions about the circumstances surrounding the detachment, and took it a step further, she referred me out to a specialist because she wanted to ensure the condition posed no threat to my vision. Dr. Troyer provided a thorough, diligent, and careful examination of my eyes without an ounce of haste. As a doctor, she took her time, asked questions, and didn't constantly look at a chart to remember my name plus she has a wonderful personality. In fact, all of the employees were so very kind and pleasant from the minute you enter the office. It was truly the best optometry visits experienced since losing my previous eye doctor and now, I can happily say that Dr. Troyer is my optometrist. Before leaving the building, I actually set my daughter's appointment because I definitely felt comfortable with her being a patient of Dr. Troyer and Martinez Eye Associates. As my mother would say, "You were only born with one pair of eyes so must take care of them!" but this requires a great eye doctor which it why I highly recommend Dr. Troyer.

Luisa Rincon

I have to start by saying that my doctor was amazing! She listen to my concerns and bothers and did everything possible to make sure i was ok and comfy. She really took her time checking my eyes. First time ever a doctor checks my eyes so well. All the staff is friendly and helpful! 100% recommend this place.

Samantha Taylor

The doctor I had was so nice and made sure my contacts fit right. Even gave me a couple different ones to try on and kept measuring my eye to make sure it fit just right with my stigmatism. They will definitely have my business next year At my yearly check up.

Tiera Curtis

From the Front staff to the Dr. They are so professional, understanding and friendly. I highly recommend Dr.Abdul. Hands down the best experience I have ever had. The ladies up front are SO friendly and informative. They also price match contacts!

Jen R.

I decided to try this eye doctor because I was unhappy with my last doctor and they have good ratings online. The reviews were accurate. The doctor took time to listen to my concerns with my old glasses and provide a prescription that worked well for reading computer screens all day. There hasn't been any difficulties adjusting to the new prescription. Thank you for fixing my glasses! My only suggestion would be to please consider a digital eye scan so eyes are not diluted and I can shop for new glasses easily after my appt.

Q Sutton

I do not remember the Doctor's name that day just that she was so short and cute lol. She was professional, understanding, helpful, knowledgeable, and had a great personality. I now have better contacts with no major issues as before.

Dawn Skipper

The front office, exam area and rooms are very clean and well organized. Staff is very enjoyable and doctor is awesome, laid back and professional. Prices are really good also. Great experience and would recommend to anyone.

Harry Williams

The staff is very courteous and professional. I thoroughly enjoyed going to this eye clinic. They made me feel comfortable. I would highly recommend using Martinez Eye Associates for your vision needs.

Jalessa Schofield

I am a wheelchair cutie, and very hesitant about going to places in general. Every year, for the last 2 years, I’ve been in this wheelchair this has been the BEST experience! They are so friendly, willing to do whatever it takes to make me comfortable, the doctors are very knowledgeable, and let’s not forget they don’t see me as disabled but as a person that does things a little different! I will continue to come here as long as I possibly can because of my experience! I would suggest if you have a family member or even yourself, that has some challenges, bring them here! You won’t regret the decision! I just wish they had more handicap parking spots (only 2 in the parking lot) and the two spots aren’t wheelchair friendly. But I don’t let that stop me!

tami ervin

I think they're a great eye service place! Not expensive with a good staff. Been going there for 2-3yrs. and I needed my contacts this year. One eye prescription didn't look right and they gladly checked and had to adjust! They worked until they got it right! No issues or extra expenses.

Malika Jamison

Everybody was very kind and sweet, they practiced cleanliness by going out of the way to sanitize between every customer. They were also fast and efficient in taking care of me and getting my order taken care of for glasses.

Kathleen Love

Felicia Wells

Dr. Martinez is super knowledgeable and thorough. My whole family has been to her for glasses and we are all very impressed.

Cassandra Dickinson

Nothing but great customer service and experiences every time we come to this office! Worth the drive from Lexington and looking forward to the kids exam again next year.

Efrain Berdecia

I had problems with my prescription and frames from the begining. The prescription was incorrect and when they sent me for a re-check the doctor found that the magnification was to much. I had my glasses at home and they couldn't order my new prescription without them. After suffering for 6 months they couldn't make an exemption and order my glasses even though I did wait patiently. I had a good experience on my first visit but now I have reservations recommending it again.

Shelley Bronson

The customer service was great as well as the doctor being very informative regarding my eyes. I actually learned some new things and I've been wearing glasses for over 20 yrs.
