Very welcoming to new patients and very informative. I enjoyed the staff and the doctor. I’ll bring my entire family should they need eye care.

I first gave 3 stars for a few issues I had with my first visit - I waited over a year to give them a second chance.
However, my second visit was great and I no longer have concerns and will return in the future. I am amending my review accordingly to reflect my subsequent good experience.

I had a very pleasant and enjoyable experience (except the glaucoma test) with everyone I met in your staff at the Merle Hay facility. Dr. Kemmerer was very efficient, professional, courteous and kind during my visit. I will recommend your location to all of my friends and family.

Called and was able to get an appointment that day later in the afternoon! Dr. Katherine Kemmerer was just exceptional! She explained her findings and discussed options for contacts versus lenses. She was apologetic for being behind in schedule, but I was just pleased to be able to get into see her that day, which for a medical professional of any type is unheard of unless you go to urgent care. SUPERB staff! Highly recommend!!!

I've been going to both the Merle Hay & Valley West Huseman Eye Care locations for my eye exams for well over a decade. Everyone I've encountered there over the years has been very caring, skilled, & professional. I normally see Dr Soults or Dr Huseman & they are both excellent. Service is quick but never feels rushed or impersonal. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful surprise to find such an amazing doctor's office inside a mall. After my previous Optometrist dropped out of network for my insurance plan three years ago I started going to Huseman Eye Care. I have always received excellent care from this office, but yesterday was incredible. I scheduled an appointment online several days ago, and promptly showed up at the front desk yesterday. Unfortunately, I scheduled my appointment at the wrong location, so I was in the wrong place at the right time. It didn't even phase the wonderful people working the front desk. In just a few

Had an exam yesterday, everyone was very nice. I also had my rowdy 3yr old and they were so patient as he was very curious to what was going on, they had crayons and paper for him. Dr. Katie was who I saw and she explained everything so well I had no problem understanding what she was telling me. I was impressed with how quickly I was able to see her since this was my first visit and check in went quickly. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a comfortable atmosphere.
