Dr. Manning and his staff is fantastic. He eased my fears and corrected an incorrect prescription from another doctor. I won’t trust my eyes to any other doctor from now on.

The staff here are very friendly and helpful. Dr
Manning is patient, knowledgeable, and super nice. The office is clean and they have a nice selection of frames by different brands and at a variety of price points so that you can find something that you love and will fit your budget.

It won't be hard to receive a normal level of service when you buy a brand new pair of glasses. However, any step in the exam and selection has to be communicated well. If you have specific requirement, you don't expect they can read it although they are obvious, like your nose is not high like others, and the way you wear it, they try to change the position they think the glasses should place at. All of these won't help you get a good pair fit your need, as they won't think what else they can do to fix it, they only do what you think is the problem. And I am giving up to squeeze time from work

I had such a positive experience at Northwest Vision. All the staff were so helpful and kind. I hadn't had my eyes looked at in a few years and it was great to have people work so hard to get me an updated prescription.

Doctor and staff really friendly, kind, and helpful. FIVE stars to them. I knocked off a star because the pre-doctor part of the exam took a long time and although they have a nice selection of glasses, it is a little small.

Dr. Steven Manning is very thorough and efficient. I felt quite confident in his examination and diagnosis of my eyes. We are very happy with Dr. Manning at North Star. My husband, myself, both of my daughters as well as their children are all patients of his. It is nice to know that he has taken advanced Practice Fellowship in Binocular Vision as well as Pediatrics at OSU.

I’ve been going here for years and I will continue to! Since the pandemic, they have lots of precautions in place and it’s very organized and easy to follow. Dr. Steven Manning is awesome, charismatic and he showed me a lot and made everything easy to understand! The rest of the staff were also positive and helped me find a pair of glasses while finding the best prices with my insurance plan. I can also tell they have a good synergy as coworkers, which makes the environment more welcoming. I left feeling positive, too!

Dr. Manning is the most compassionate and empathetic Optometrist I have ever met. He not only has a wonderful personality but is also extremely intelligent and an amazing teacher. He actual listens to what you and genuinely wants what is best for you. If you are looking for a new eye doctor, I highly recommend North Star Vision.

Everyone at this location was great! Friendly and super helpful in providing breakdown of costs when ordering new glasses and answering any questions. Dr. Manning was awesome. I'm new the area and am super happy to have found this location and it's not a long commute for me.
