I had a pleasant experience from the time I walked in the door! I was met with a nice welcome, and after a short wait, Myrna took me back to start my eye exam. After that, I was seen by the eye doctor. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. They were very professional in getting their work accomplished. I would definitely recommend this office.
I’ve been a patient of Oro Valley Eyecare for a few years now. The staff and doctors are always friendly and eager to help- I know it sounds cliche, but that’s exactly how they are. I have worked in the medical field (surgery) for my entire life and have a good sense of when medical professionals truly care. I’ve been seen by Dr. Mackelprang the last several times for my eye exams. He has made me feel like I’m the most important person in the world while finding the right prescriptions for my contacts and glasses. The staff and doctors show they really do care about my vision AND eye health. My experiences from the time I walk in until I walk out make me feel great about my decision to come back year after year!
Oro Valley Eyecare was amazing. The tech was wonderful while doing all the various exams, explaining everything as she went. The doctor spent a long time with me, at least 30 minutes if not more. He explained everything very carefully, showing me pictures of my eyes vs. eyes with the diseases we are watching for. He explained some nutritional things I could do to improve my eye health. Then the office people were very helpful in helping me choose new glasses. They carefully explained all the various options. I will keep this group as my eye care professionals.
Dr Mackelprang is so fun, friendly, informative and professional, total package. My first visit to this location and I’m not surprised the staff were all just as wonderful. Totally worth traveling across town to see him!
The staff and doctor are all cordial, patient and efficient. Very short wait time in COVID aware environemnt. Problem getting through on their phone line was the only glitch.
Everyone is friendly and efficient. We were seen immediately and the technician put my son at ease. Competent doctor, and the staff was super in helping him pick out new frames. We’re new to the area, and happy to find Oro Valley Eyecare for our family.
Has always been a pleasant experience, from the moment you walk thru the door, everyone is friendly and very competent. Knowledgeable staff and state of the art equipment, yet a small enough office so you dont feel like just another number.
Dr Mackelprang is absolutely awesome. He takes the time to explain eye health in an unhurried professional manner. Wish all doctors took the time and concern to show genuine interest in their patients as he does. The office staff was accommodating in scheduling my wife’s and my appointment at the same time.
Really like the office, Dr Mackelprang is thorough in his explanations and takes the time to help you understand diagnosis. This is a great office to choose.
Genuine care to achieve patient satisfaction, knowledgeable, and totally friendly to deal with. An overall pleasant experience.
We scheduled an appointment and asked to confirm 3+ time to the point I called twice to confirm as the text and emails did not seem to be working. Confirmed yesterday for today’s appointment and walked in and from the “hello can I help you” the receptionist Jennifer was so unfriendly. We said we had an appointment. She said we canceled yesterday. I said we called to confirm. She was arguing with me and so rude. Sooo rude. I hope the office manager or doctors are reading this. I know there is a shortage of staff all over but my goodness. You can do better.On a good note one of the other very friendly office techs was nice enough to help put a screw in my glasses. Thank you. I’m so sorry I did not get your name.
The tech who helped us order our glasses and contacts was great. He was quick to understand what we were looking for and helped us use our insurance benefits well. The thorough care and time spent with us to get our desires taken care of will have us coming back to OV Eyecare every time for our eye care needs!
The staff was awesome. Very friendly and helpful. The Tech that administered the majority of the tests was the best. Very sweet and funny. The Dr. was very friendly and knowledgable. Nobody pushed me to buy anything. Great business. Will go there again for sure.
Dr. Robert Mitchell,I want to THANK YOU for explaining so efficiently all the different eye tests that you performed yesterday. I felt so confident after leaving your office.Sending you hundreds of gold stars.Sincerely, Beverly Kratz
They took great care that I was informed of the lenses that I was purchasing and the person I dealt with was very personable. Thank you.
Dr. Mackelprang is wonderful. He takes his time with me and has worked with me to achieve sharper eyesight, both distance and close up. Office staff are helpful and friendly. So glad I found this office!
Dr. Andy Mackelprang, OD, performed my annual eye examination in a thorough and experienced manner, resulting in an updated refraction of my daily wear contact lenses, and a thorough explanation as to the status of my eyesight.In addition, he went out of his way to research for the most suitable contact lens brand and prescription, giving me several types of daily wear types to try out and choose from. He went far above and beyond what I had experienced with my previous eye doctor at another practice nearby.I highly recommend Dr. Mackelprang!
Excellent experience. Eye exam outcomes and eye glass options were explained completely to my satisfaction. Staff was courteous and helpful.Highly recommend OVE!
A remarkable combination of caring people and technology! I selected the practice for my first eye exam since moving to the area largely because they have the scanner that makes dilating the eyes a thing of the past. The array of diagnostic equipment they have is really extraordinary! Wonderful people, and a doctor (Dr. Mackelprang in my visit) who doesnt end the appointment until he makes sure you have no more questions. Very, very pleased!
This was my first visit to Oro Valley Eye Care and I couldnt have been more pleased. Everyone there was friendly and caring. Dr. Mackelprang was very thorough and knowledgeable. I will definitely return there for all my annual eye exams.
Everyone is so friendly and Dr. Andy was very attentive to my concerns, even as a first time patient. Thankful for him and his great service!
The technology used by these physicians far exceeds any other Ive seen in eye care. I left with photos of my retinas that I can track changes to as I age. I come from a family history of macular degeneration and this gave me great peace of mind. Dr. Mackleprang listened to each of my concerns and addressed them very professionally. I left with a trial set of contact lenses that were more comfortable for my eyes that day because of the new technology of the lenses themselves. It was an exceptional customer service experience.
Everyone in the office was really nice and friendly. Dr. Mitchell was great and very thorough in his examination.
Great service. Up to date equipment and knowledgeable staff. They take the time to explain the procedures and what they test for. Will keep coming back for our check-ups!!
My eye exam was very thorough. Dr Mitchell answered all of my questions and explained in detail what he was doing and the changes that he was making to my prescription. My pupils were dilated for the exam. Another staff member took pictures of my eyes. Then an experienced, knowledgeable staff member helped me select frames and lenses that best suited my face and preferences and had my insurance information in front of him. The staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable and they have a large selection of frames. I feel fortunate that I found OV Eyecare.
Excellent location, office and perfect, professional, friendly staff who explained everything they did well. The Dr answered all my questions, explained results in detail about my aging eyes and narrow angles. So very unusual these days to get such attentive care!!I was also able to be seen months before any ophthalmologist would see me, and I received better care here than expected.They have all the tools needed for me to be assured my eyes are healthy. No dilation of the eyes needed here!I received a sample bottle of eye drops which are actually helping my dry eyes rather than making it worse!! I have wasted a lot of money looking for this kind of relief!!I received my last prescription lenses here a few years ago and they were also perfect. I made a mistake and ordered another pair from Costco but the lenses had flaws and they gave me a headache.Highly recommend OV Eyecare.
This is a delightful office with friendly and courteous staff. I recommend it highly! I recently switched to this office and it has not disappointed
A very efficient eye exam process. I especially like not having to dilate my eyes in order to get a picture. Thank you very much
Office staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Very little waiting before being taken back for exam. Clean and neat office. The doctor spent plenty of time with me to answer all of my questions and concerns.
I was extremely disappointed when I went in for my yearly check up. I was looking forward to getting new glasses since I verified with my insurance (VSP) I was eligible. From the very first appt., last year, I made sure they knew I have double coverage with my husband. Again I verified with the receptionist that it was noted in my record of the double coverage status with VSP. The exam and talking with the doctor went well. However when it came to to purchase new frames I was told they do not bill a second insurance (my husbands). I asked why and was told because they just dont. I said it was the first time (in 30 yrs) I had heard of that practice. I ended up telling her to tell the doctor that I would be going elsewhere to buy glasses. My husband was going to make an appt with them next but looks like this business lost 2 customers. The only reason I could think of why they would not bill our insurances; they dont know how to bill 2 insurances and/or the owners of the practice do not want to spend the money to have a well trained employee in billing.
The staff @ OV EyeCare couldn’t have been nicer. I really liked and appreciated Dr. Mitchell’s chair side manner.
I had a great experience from the time I walked through the door, exam and trying to find glasses. The staff was very down to earth and friendly, I felt very comfortable while waiting for my appointment. The doctor was very thorough with the exam and figured out finally with a problem that I have had for several years. He was soft spoken, respectful, listened and very professional. I feel I have found a home for eye care and would highly recommend Oro Valley Eyecare.
Dr Mitchell is thorough and caring. The staff is welcoming and helpful.
Excellent choice for all eye care needs. The staff is friendly and helpful and the eye Docs are thorough and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
The staff and doctors at OV Eyecare are amazing. They are efficient, personable, competent and caring. Our entire family receives eye care here. Our 7yo went for her check up with Dr Mackelprang and for two weeks afterward she kept asking when she could go back to the eye doctor! Dr Mitchell is excellent as well- he is super kind and thorough. I highly recommend this business. Thank you OV Eyecare for continuing to serve your community well, even in the tough times of COVID. You are seen and appreciated!
They lost my business! I’ve been going here for years and when I tried to make an appointment for my yearly eye exam I was told that now the only way I could get an appointment on a Saturday was if I paid cash for my visit. Then when I asked for an appointment any other day I was told that it would be a month and a half until I could get one, unless once again, I paid cash. If I paid with cash they told me I could get in that week. Not only is this highly unethical it is completely ILLEGAL to do!! I don’t know if they got bought out by some scandalous company or what but this is not okay to do to your customers.
I didnt have to wait too long to get my eyes examined and to order a new pair of glasses. Everything went smoothly and quickly.
All employees are very polite and professional! Great service and Dr. Mackelprang is superb!
Great staff, great tech. We go there because they can do a retina scan without dilation. The prices for the exams are reasonable, but like all Eyecare offices, the prices for eyewear are high.
Very attentive, focussed on details. Answered all questions.
Just moved from NY to Oro Valley. This was a much more thorough eye exam than I have ever had. The Dr. explained everything very well. The gentleman who assisted me in finding new glasses was amazing as well. He was even able to improve the fit of my current glasses. I highly recommend Pro Valley Eye Care.
Dr. Mitchel is an exceptional optometrist and the entire staff is friendly, helpful, professional and efficient. Prices are competitive and a good value considering the high level of service and expertise.
I’ve been a patient of Oro Valley Eye Care for a year and a half. My husband and I both have VSP vision insurance, which they take and it covers most of the cost of exam and a pair of glasses.I like Dr. Mitchel and find him to be experienced and very thorough. I also like the fact that they have a photo scanner for the retina, which doesn’t require having your eyes dilated and gives a better diagnostic image. Medicare doesn’t cover this option, but it’s only $49.I love their selection of frames and find their staff very helpful with this decision making. They don’t make their lenses on site so it takes about 2 weeks to get your glasses. I’ve used the quick, local vender and the quality of lenses is like night and day, in my experience. I always spend the extra to get the Crizal finish. My copay is $35. It reduces glare at night, gives an extremely clear finish, and best of all, extends your lens warranty to two years. I’ve just requested new lenses for the two pairs I purchased last year. No charge. Who doesn’t end up with some scratches when you wear your glasses all the time!
Always professional, always thorough, always a great group of people. Thank you!
Very professional, from scheduling through the appointment. Up to date on latest technology and how to use it. I’ve been a customer for more than 5 years and will keep coming back.
I had not been for an eye check up in at least 15 years! My Primary Doctor said it was time. Made my appointment with Oro Valley Eyecare! WOW, have eye checkups changed! I was totally impressed with all the new technology they had! Simply Amazing! The Staff there were Professional, Courteous, On Time, & Dr Mackelprang was Extremely knowledgeable, Great sense of Humor, Professional, Comfortable, Did Not feel Rushed whatsoever!!! And Murna 1 of his assistants really took the time to educate me on all their amazing equipment! She was a Very Intelligent young woman!I could not Possibly be happier about my new Eye Doctor & his Expert Team!!!
I have worn glasses for the last 50 years and I am used to the Doctor going through the process of which is better 1 or 2. OV Eyecare uses a digital system to determine the most accurate prescription for my glasses.Oh, and by the way, the Doctor and staff are professional, friendly, and empathetic. They have earned my business now and for future needs.
I had my first visit at Oro Valley Eyecare yesterday and was very impressed. The scheduler, Ron, was so friendly and helpful in getting me an appointment.I with Dr. Mackelprang and was very impressed. He was extremely helpful, and he really took the time to understand my situation and explain how to treat my dry eyes. I have tried several different eye doctors in the Tucson area and Dr. Mackelprang is definitely the best. Im very glad that I kept trying and finally found someone who could help me.
What a great experience! I would highly recommend Oro Valley Eyecare if you are needing just an eye examine or in need of contacts or glasses. They were helpful and friendly from the minute I walked through the door.
Very professional, very glasses-wearer oriented, very friendly and conversational!
Eyesight improved from last years exam. Thorough exam. All professional, and friendly atmosphere.
I agree with all the previous reviews regarding the professionalism, expertise, kindness and caring of the doctors and staff. As a new patient in 2020, I was so pleasantly surprised and happy that Dr. Mackelprang performed my eye exam himself. He is an incredibly good listener and and responded so thoroughly to my questions and concerns. I had previously been a patient at a large eye care company and only saw the optometrist as the last step in a series of having eye tests done by several different technicians. When you have the full attention of your eye care provider it inspires a feeling of confidence in your doctor and you dont feel like just another numbered patient. All of the staff made me feel comfortable and at home!I highly recommend Dr. Mackelprang and the other optometrists at Oro Valley Eyecare without hesitation! Diane B.
I had an excellent experience at Oro Valley Eyecare. I was a new patient and saw Dr. Andrew Mackelprang. He was very professional and explained everything to me. The actual exam was very thorough and I did not feel rushed. I would definitely recommend Dr. Mackelprang.
I have been using Oro Valley Eyecare for two years for my annual exam. I find the staff to be friendly and professionals. I feel very confident in knowing my eye exam is thoroughly done and explained to me in a way I can understand. I dont feel pressured into buy new glasses from them, but they are available if I wish or I could go elsewhere.
I give Oro Valley Eyecare five stars for their professionalism and the time they took with me on my first visit there. I would recommend them to anyone.
I experienced the most comprehensive contact lens fitting & eye exam that Ive ever had! And the optometrist (Dr Mackelprang) is really a great guy!
Very good experience with annual evaluation and contact lens eval. Very thorough. Extremely pleased.
Excellent experience. Friendly, professional and efficient. Did not upsale on glass frames or lenses.
I like this eye clinic. The staff is super friendly. They are expensive but give those of us with no insurance a discount on glasses. Their equipment is current and kept clean. The receptionist is very sweet and helpful. She sanitized every pair of glasses I tried on.
Dr. Mackelprang was great, informative and educated.
The worst eye care experience that I have ever had. During my exam I told the doctor (Mackelprang) twice that I wanted single-lens reading glasses. What I got - after spending money on lenses and frames from a third party - were not single-lens reading. When I brought the glasses in, the tech told me that the prescription was for progressive lenses and that the lenses were true to the prescription. When I told him that I specifically asked the doctor for single lens reading glasses and that therefore Oro Valley Eyecare made a mistake, he tried to give me the runaround and refused to acknowledge it.If I could give Oro Valley Eye Care zero stars, i would.Dr. Mackelprang, your bio says that you are driven to make people happy. If this true, you will make good your mistake at no cost to me. My contact information is in your files.
Dr. Mitchell has been my only ophthalmologist for ten years. An accomplished professional my wife and I think hes the best!
Doctor was fast, thorough and easy to talk with. Support staff also gave me options and were happy with the choice I made in contacts. All great.
Oral Valley Eyecare does quality customer service. The place is very nice and clean. The staff are very welcoming and organized. Great place to go if your looking for an eye doctor.
Great experience! Dr. Macklepang is very personable, professional & thourogh.
Our family has been seeing Dr. Mitchell for years. He and his staff are very friendly and helpful. I appreciate their kindness and will continue to use their services for our familys eye care needs.
Outstanding treatment, exam and service. State of the art testing. Above and beyond what I expected. Very grateful to have found a special place to take care of every aspect of my eyes. Highly recommend Dr. Mitchell.
Had such a great experience! Dr. Mackelprang Was very kind, knowledgeable, and professional. He took the time to give detailed responses to the various questions I had and seems to really enjoy the work he does. Would definitely recommend!
Dr Mitchell is very professional and caring about me as his patient.
I was here for a follow up yesterday.Gold stars.Last year and this year I have had the best and most comprehensive exams I have ever experienced. Dr. Mitchell is so knowledgeable and the staff very helpful. I have hereditary issues that could be a future problem that are being addressed.
Helpful and knowledgeable with very updated equipment.
I just had my first visit with Dr. Mackelprang at OV Eyecare and had a great experience. The doctor did my exam himself rather than an a tech. I was surprised at how much time he was able to spend with me and delighted at how thorough the exam was. He experimented a bit with different ideas to insure that all my prescriptions (distance, computer & sunglasses) were ideal. The experience with choosing and fitting frames was just a great. I highly recommend this office.
I wasnt kept waiting and all the people there were friendly and professional. Everything was explained to me and all my questions answered. I recommend these folks.
My first visit, and everything went fine. Friendly staff and doctors, and no pressure to buy glasses or other services. During my exam, the doctor carefully explained what he was doing and his findings, which I thought was very helpful.
Very professional and thorough service. Good selection of eyewear also. Kind and pleasant doctors too. Happy with my eye doctor Dr. Calderon.Personnel were so kind and pleasant to deal with.
Friendly atmosphere! Enjoy going to Oro Valley Eyecare for my yearly eye exams.
Oro Valley Eyecare and Dr. Robert Mitchell are very professional, thorough, and extremely proficient. Thanks for all you do.
Excellent experience. Dr. Mackelprang spent nearly an hour with me, answered every question patiently and in detail. Front office staff is exceptional. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend Dr. Calderon and the team at Oro Valley Eyecare. Our family has been going here for a couple of years and we always have a positive experience with everyone at the office.
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. My husband and I both had a wonderful experience here. We highly recommend Oro Valley Eyecare.
Very attentive. Modern Equipment. Answered all my questions. I will continue using their expertise
Don’t bother going here. They don’t listen when you speak, don’t answer questions, don’t bother looking for medical problems, and refer you to a different place if you want to get testing for medical issues. At least at JCPenny or Costco I can get better service and some shopping done!Edit: Just got home. Pulled my old prescription out to check. They told me that ‘Congrats! You’re prescription hasn’t changed!’ According to these people, yes it did! All four of the numbers are different! That’s a huge change!!!I feel scammed and like I wasted my once-a-year eye check.
My wife and I really both enjoyed our visit. Knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. Would highly recommend!nt
Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff!
Timely appointments, friendly staff, great doctor. Would definitely recommend.
Great service. Dr Mitchell is excellent and spends all the time needed to serve you.
Excellent overall service. Dr. Mitchell is very good, and his staff are wonderful and professional.
We loved the new crew . We did have some previous bad experiences, but this last visit was the best.
Thank You, Dr. Mitchell !! Thorough eye exam with clear and detailed explanation of results.
The people are very friendly and helpful. The Dr. Mackleprang was thorough and explained each test and its significance. He also provided optical options (glasses) and an outline of potential treatment in the future.
Nice friendly office. Dr Mitchell is very professional.
Love this place! Everyone is so knowledgeable and helpful. Won’t go anywhere else!
If you want the best in eye care, This is the only place to go!
I’ve always had a great experience here.
Dr. Mackelprang is an excellent eye doctor! My husband and I both have some eye issues. Dr. Mackelprang took his time with us and upon leaving Oro Valley eye care I was confident that both my husband and I would be seeing better when our new glasses came in. Kudos to Dr. Mackelprang and his staff!
I learned a lot at my eye exam today and actually had fun. The staff were all very caring and attentive. This is my favorite eye doctor/office ever...and I have been to a lot of different ones through my 41 years of wearing glasses/contacts.
Very thorough visit and doctor and staff took the time to explain everything! Very friendly office!
They all were very helpful. We’re knowledgeable and answered my questions
I was fortunate to get into this office quickly on a cancellation -- and lucky to see Dr. Victor Calderon (a very skilled eyecare provider). After ready many reviews of Oro Valley Eyecare, I did not hesitate to take the first opening they had with any of their doctors. The office staff are very friendly and professional. I will continue to utilize this group for eyecare in the future.
Friendly staff that are so attentive. Dr. Mitchell is pleasant, friendly, listens to you, and shows compassion for your concerns.
