Exceptional service from all of the staff I encountered here yesterday. I've been suffering with symptoms from Visual Snow Syndrome for years and Dr. Hannaford is the only physician that has ever made me feel validated about my condition. Krista was also amazing at helping me find a tinted lense that helped lessen how intense my visual snow was. If I could give them 100 stars I would. Thank you so much. ❤️

I was in an accident last fall and has concerns that my vision may have been effected, so I booked an appointment with Dr. Hutchens right away. She was extremely thorough and did a series of tests to ensure that all was well with my vision and put all my concerns to rest with ease. The VDC & The Optical are bright and airy, the staff accommodating and kind, and meeting Indy was the icing on the cake.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. From getting proper care for myself, and making the experience fun for my young child, to perfecting the frames and lenses I need for my specific vision challenges, the doctors and staff here make me feel at home and heard with all my questions. I know more about my specific vision issues now than I ever had before, and that helps me adapt when I need to. Would recommend them, and I do, over and over again.

I can't say enough great things about the VDC. I originally brought my 2 children for routine eye appointments - the staff are so friendly and welcoming (and GREAT with kids) and we love the office dog, Indy. At my son's first appointment, Dr. Hannaford picked up on an eye challenge that had never been noticed or brought to my attention before at another eye clinic. My son was experiencing symptoms we hadn't even realized he was struggling with. After completing vision therapy, his reading and eye-hand coordination have improved significantly and his sport skills have improved significantly (especially baseball). We've also bought all of our glasses and contacts at the new Optical at VDC and couldn't be happier with the amazing service from the whole team!

Dr. Wensman and all the staff are amazing with children. Highly recommend! My daughter’s first eye exam was a fun experience.

Dr. Hutchens is awesome! The physical space is warm and inviting, and the staff are super friendly and informed. My eye exam felt very thorough, and everything that was being done was explained in language that I could understand. I feel more informed about my eye health, and I left in a great mood! Having Indy (their beautiful Husky mascot) wandering around didn't hurt :)

I seen Dr Hutchens for my bi-annual exam however this was the first time I have been at this practice . I love how fascinated she was with my previous ou condition of Keratoconus that has since been treated. You can tell she is very passionate about her work. She also went above and beyond with proactive measures involving the dmv. I had initially selected this practice due to the online booking option however, now I would choose this practice regardless going forward. Thank you again for taking pride in your career.
