Meet Our Staff

About Us

We are not an assembly line, multi-doctor practice with long wait times, and grumpy staff members. We see patients on time. We don’t treat you like a number. Our space is warm, open and friendly.

We take the time to explain things to you. Your insurance/costs, the finer points of the exam, and the recommendations for your ocular health – we try and make sure these important things are clearly explained to you.

Our office is easily accessible online. Appointment scheduling and contact lens orders are both available via our website whenever it’s convenient for you. And Dr. Tom is happy to answer follow-up questions via email if needed.

My first experience with Decatur Eye Care went perfectly! Their office is very chic, comfortable, and welcoming. Their selection of frames were quite stylish, if a bit expensive (although they do have a lovely selection of lower cost options). Dr. Tom answered all of my questions and concerns and helped me make decisions on the type of lenses and contacts that would work with my relatively sensitive eyes. I'll definitely be returning!

I never leave reviews but I have to say Decatur Eye Care was phenomenal. I go by a nickname “Carrie” and no matter how many times I write that it’s my preferred name, doctors never get it. The whole team at the office called me my preferred name the entire time I was there, which I found to be such a nice change of pace. They were all incredibly nice, especially the doctor, who was very attentive and answered all of my questions. There was no rush to get out the door, he was truly interested in giving me a full understanding. I definitely recommend this place!

First eye exam since I was 11years old and I have to say the experience in general was fantastic. Everyone was super polite and very helpful. I ended up having 20/20 vision and didn’t really need anything, but if you do I’d definitely suggest going to them. So informative and nice. I wish other doctor offices took note on how they operate at their facility.

Super friendly staff and very quick eye exam! I didn’t feel like they tried to talk me into spending money I didn’t need to spend which I appreciate. Highly recommend!
