Love this office and staff.

Apr 22, 2020

I trust her. Her and her staff are pleasant to work with. So don’ know any more all I know is I trust her and having to type 20 words remind me of a school punishment. Not that I have anything better to do. Thank you Dr. Curl. I have faith in you as a person and doctor.

Melissa and her staff are extremely courteous and competent. She tries to keep patients informed of what she is doing during an examination and afterwards when discussing various courses of treatment. She wants you to be comfortable with your treatment and understand what she is recommending. Overall, a great person and very good eye doctor.

Total experience was wonderful!

Dr.Curl and her team are incredible!! They truly care about their patients.

Oct 9, 2019

Very accommodating in squeezing me in with an eye problem. Only recommendation was I didn't see any mints up front. I had a mint and didn't want that coffee breath...LOL!

Sep 11, 2019

Everyone was warm and friendly. My experience was pleasant and I look forward to my next visit.

Sep 6, 2019

Dr. Melissa Curl and "crew" are focused on providing complete vision care and associated services. From the front desk, exam, diagnostics, to selection of glasses frames, you are given optimal attention. Our family has enjoyed our experiences through the years with this practice since it started years ago. Dr. Curl is thorough and very caring with full explanation and consideration. Her staff is so personable and a pleasure, too!

My appointment for a routine eye exam was at 9:30 but I did not actually leave the building until 11:20. I waited at least 45 minutes in the exam room before seeing a doctor. Then I was told to go discuss frames and lenses in the lobby but told I could leave my personal items in the exam room as I would be coming right back. But the exam room was given to another patient and I was asked to sit in a hallway and wait. Thankfully I had taken my purse with me and didn’t have to worry about my purse being in a closed exam room with other people. The staff were nice but I had definitely not planned to for a 2 hour eye exam. I hope this was exception as my husband said he was in and out in less than an hour and my son’s appointment didn’t take over an hour either.

Aug 23, 2019

Knowledgeable, professional staff. Very relaxing atmosphere.

Aug 20, 2019

Very pleased with the staff and the professionalism that I received !!!!

Aug 15, 2019

Staff are very friendly and Dr. Curl made me feel comfortable during my eye check up.

Jul 19, 2019

Staff is very friendly and attentive to the patient's needs

Apr 23, 2019

Dr. Curl, the optician, the nurses and administration are across the board very competent and always friendly. I never had the pleasure that an oculist and an optician discussed my best options in front of me ! :)

Apr 17, 2019

Both Optometrists are experts and very compassionate eye doctors. All the employees are pleasant and very knowledgeable and know exactly what to do for each person. I enjoy coming to the eye doctor!

Never have to wait for my appointment. Every technician and doctor is friendly, professional, and listens to me.

Apr 13, 2019

We love Dr. Craig! She is very kind and personable and great with young children. I wish total appointment time could’ve been shorter just for the sake of my child, but that’s the only thing. Both ladies up front were super friendly and our tech was great too.

Dr Craig was great, but the front desk staff was very slow and did not know what they were doing in regards to billing or insurance. Took 15 minutes to check out.

Feb 16, 2019

I really liked everyone I met. I did not like that several staff members entered the room randomly during the exams.

Oct 24, 2017

As a new patient I was extremely impressed with the total experience. My call to AFE at 7:30 AM Oct 18, 2017 was taken by a polite and knowledgeable lady. She processed me as a new patient efficiently and professionally. I was having an issue with my left eye and was elated when I was able to schedule an appointment for that day! Upon arrival, the lady handling the patients was professional and nice. When I was called back to the examination room, the lady that process health information was also knowledgeable and professional. My appointment was at 10:45 am but I didn't see Dr. Curl until approx. 11:20 am( No big deal for me). Dr. Curl acted and spoke professional. She handle my evaluation thoroughly and promptly. Explain concisely what was going on with my eye. Provided a medical reference(with picture) that indicated what my allergy looked like and the severity. Dr. Curl provided a sample medication that mitigated the severity and then prescribed an OTC solution to finish out the treatment. (A cost saver for me! That's always appreciated). Dr. Curl wrapped up by asking if I had any questions or problems to call or come back. I have found an eye doctor I intend to stick with!

Oct 19, 2017

Fantastic experience! Staff and doctor all helpful and so super sweet. I had minimal wait time, and I would highly recommend for quality and professional service.

This is the best Eye Care facility I've ever been to - in my entire life! I will never change. The only thing that would make them better is if they took Care Credit. :)

Nov 10, 2016

Everyone was very friendly and did their job well.

Oct 14, 2016

I was out of town when I was experiencing flashed and shimmering in my vision. Dr. Curl said I needed to see an optometrists to ensure this was not a retinal detachment. Being out of town I was not familiar with the area and she called one of her associates and setup an appointment for an eye exam. I’ve been seeing Dr. Curl for more than 15 years and this is one of the reasons I continue to see her in the future.

Oct 10, 2016

Friendly and Caring Staff.....explained everything in great detail

Sep 29, 2016

As always, over and aboard treatment

Sep 24, 2016

Aug 28, 2016

I LOVE this office! Everyone is very friendly and helpful. They truly care about the experience they are giving their patients. My daughter also had an appointment and was nervous about going. They immediately put her at ease. We will recommend to all our friends!

Aug 19, 2016

I had an eye emergency last week. I called Dr. Curl's office and they had me come right in. Once I arrived at the office I was tended to immediately!!! What a relief that I didn't have to go to the emergency room! I am recovering just as the doctor advised. Thank you Dr. Melissa Curl and her entire staff!

Aug 16, 2016

We love Dr. Curl. She is great with the kids. I love the convenience of her office and the ease of geting an appointment that fits our schedule.

Aug 16, 2016

Great visit this week. In and out in no time... no waiting. Love the new doctor, Jennifer Craig... so friendly, efficient and knowledgable!

Aug 6, 2016

I phoned the office on a Monday morning and they were able to fit me in that same day. I arrived on time for my appointment and I only waited 5 minutes before taken to a room. Tanya came to the room within a couple of minutes and Dr. Curl came to see me within a few minutes, too. I loved not having to wait! Yet Dr. Curl spent an ample amount of time with me explaining my condition and choosing the best Rx for me. I have nothing negative to say about this appointment.

Jul 27, 2016

Thank you for seeing me so soon.

Jul 19, 2016

5 Stars!!!!!! Dr. Curl and her staff are absolutely awesome!!! Please see #7 for additional comments.

Jun 3, 2016

My experience was absolutely wonderful. Dr. Curl and your staff are truly the best at what you do. Thank you so much.

May 22, 2016

Always a good experience going here. Dr. Curl is great and the staff is wonderful.

May 21, 2016

Convenient and beautiful office. They are slow to get to you in the exam room.

May 15, 2016

As usual, Dr Curl has again performed in an excellent and especially professional manner. She is and always has been an extremely knowledgeable and a totally competent Eye Doctor. I drive over 90 miles, round trip, because I have total trust in her actions. God Bless all the personnel at the Family Eye Clinic.

May 10, 2016

Great and thorough as usual

May 4, 2016

Dr. Curl and her entire staff are fantastic. Beautiful office and top-notch care. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

May 2, 2016

I was very pleased with my recent visit. I had many questions about my condition and Dr. Curl took the time to address all of my concerns and shared facts, concerns, and opinions. I feel more knowledgeable about my condition and more in control now.

May 1, 2016

Can't imagine any office or clinic anywhere that would be better.

Apr 29, 2016

I highly recommend Dr. Curl for all of you vision needs. They are very knowledgeable and take time to listen to your concerns as well as explanation of your individual needs. I will definitely recommend my friends and family to visit.

Apr 13, 2016

Each time I have visited I have received excellent care and service.

Apr 2, 2016

I always have a great experience at Alabama family eye care.

Mar 23, 2016

My experience was excellent! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and patient centered.I truly enjoyed my appointment.

Mar 16, 2016

I am still not sure if I am to pay my eye insurance or if I am not. I paid it anyway. I also would like to be given my prescription for my eyes even if I buy my glasses or contacts from you.

Mar 12, 2016

My experiences have been so good that I have referred others. I know at least one has changed to you. Her experience has been good as well. This office and it's employees are a fine example of how to run a doctor's office!

Mar 12, 2016

Friendly staff and great customer service!! Love this office!

Mar 9, 2016

It was a very pleasant trip, polite and courteous folks, and a thorough exam. Thanks.

Mar 5, 2016

Staff is awesome everyone makes you feel comfortable and that they truly care about you.

Feb 26, 2016

I was hesitant to pay money to get my eyes checked. My insurance isn't great for eye care. I had been to another well known place two years ago and I ended up being "sold" packages that I never used. After a friend went to Dr. Curl and told me she was thrilled with the results, I decided to go. The entire staff was professional and helpful. I now have contacts instead of readers! It's so liberating to be able to read without them. I found my forever eye doctor!

Feb 12, 2016

My visits with Dr. Curl and her staff are always excellent. I know they take every step to monitor the heath of my eyes. I make sure my 21 yr old son sees them regularly. Dr.Curl has been my eye dr. for about 8 years. She recommended Dr. Adams when I needed cataract surgery, and did my follow up care afterwards. Also, the prescription eyewear purchased at the office is excellent quality.

Feb 7, 2016

Excellent service. Prompt appointment for my issue.

Feb 3, 2016

Excellent - Dr. Curl is so nice and very knowledgeable. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. 5 stars!!

Feb 3, 2016

Jan 7, 2016

Excellent care and service as always.

Jan 6, 2016

Overall great, but had to wait outside a few minutes after appt for 2:00 appt (lunch break)

Jan 2, 2016

Always great service and a friendly staff. Would recommend Alabama Family Eyecare to anyone.

Dec 30, 2015

Great service and a friendly staff. Would recommend to others.

Dec 30, 2015

Dr. Curl and her staff have managed my eyecare for 10 years. Not only has the team handled my routine exam and corrected vision care, but Dr. Curl has diagnosed more serious eye issues which other physicians have missed. Alabama Family Eyecare is perfect for any family's vision needs.

Dec 20, 2015

Dr. Curl is wonderful and so is her staff. Always very pleasant to deal with, and most importantly, Dr. Curl does a thorough job.

Dec 16, 2015

5 is not enough. was may first visit and was treated with respect but with kindness. thanks to all the crew.

Dec 6, 2015

My eye doctor forever. Everyone in the office shows their concern for your health and the need to help with your issues.

Dec 6, 2015

Nov 25, 2015

Nov 22, 2015

I had a wonderful experience. I was having some problems and they got me in right away. Overall a great visit.

Nov 21, 2015

Initially, I was bombed that my previous eye care provider didn't accept my new insurance. Now, I'm so happy that they didn't. Alabama Family Eyecare is phenomenal. No wait time. They were very thorough. Answered all my questions. Didn't pressure me into buying anything, but rather had wrote all my purchasing options so that I can review my finances and come back later. Highly recommend Dr. Melissa Curl.

Nov 20, 2015

Wonderful experience. Feel confident about my eye health after my appointment. I rate this office a 5

Nov 13, 2015

Since it was Women's Night Out with vendors being set up, it was a zoo and not the typical experience...which probably would have been 5-star.

Nov 12, 2015

Everyone is always friendly and knowledgeable. I feel extremely comfortable there. Dr. Curl knows eye care 360.....I am so fortunate to have her as my optometrist. Her knowledge of eye care is so extensive, yet she is sensitive to the needs of the patient. I just Love Her!!!

Nov 8, 2015

Staff is extremely friendly, courteous & knowledgable. Connie was extremely patient, knowledgeable, helpful & thorough when it came time to choose frames and answer all my questions. Thank you all!

Nov 7, 2015

Friendly, fast, and easy. Great job.

Nov 6, 2015

I'm so happy to have found such a professional, friendly, and convenient office to meet our family eyecare needs. We're happy to be new patients.

Absolutely the best eye care experience. Dr. Craig is a great doctor and took time to explain my eye care to me. Overall, highly recommend Dr. Craig and Alabama Family Eye Care.

Sep 14, 2015

Melissa Curl was on point as she's always been. I've been coming here since a kid and although now I live in Calera and there are more convenient places to go, I look forward to coming here for many years hence. Also special mention to the lady who brought me to the back (why can't I remember her name?) and Richard who were both expedient and precise in their work.

Sep 13, 2015

Dr. Craig was great with my daughter. She made her feel comfortable. Her exam was very thorough and she spent a lot of time talking to me about her results. The technician who helped us with glasses was very nice and offered to order frames for us to try when we didn't find what we wanted in the office.

Sep 10, 2015

My wife & I have always experienced excellent treatment and care at this facility.

Sep 2, 2015

I have been utilizing Dr. Curls' services for a number of years and have never had to wait past my appointment time. In fact I usually am taken care of prior to my appointment time. My wife and I are always greeted in an exceptionally cheerful manner and are treated with the greatest respect. I would personally strongly recommend the Family Eye Care Clinic and personnel to anyone who enjoys excellent care.

Sep 2, 2015

STAR rating of 5! I felt Dr. Curl was very professional and knew what she was talking about. I am so glad I went to see her and am anxious to get my new glasses. Thanks!

Aug 28, 2015

The folks in the office are true professionals and take great care to ensure you have a good understanding of what is going on. I highly recommend Dr. Curl and her staff to anyone looking for a caring, personable and knowledgeable staff.

Aug 26, 2015

A little past my appt time but no problem because they squeezed me in last minute!

Aug 16, 2015

We had a great experience with the staff and doctors. They worked hard to make it an enjoyable and easy process for Miss You young children.

Dr. Curl and her staff are friendly, professional and expedient. They take care to make sure you understand everything going on with your vision health.

Jul 30, 2015

Overall an okay experience. We arrived early so that we could fill out the new patient paperwork and then had to wait a good 20 minutes after the appointment time to be taken back to an exam room.

Jul 23, 2015

Everyone was professional and polite. I have already told my family and friends how much I liked it and I cannot wait to get my new glasses!

Jul 21, 2015

My experiences with Dr. Curl and her staff ranks among my best ever. I used an Ophthalmologist for about 25years and have found Dr. Curl to be not only more personable but also more knowledgeable about current eye technology and research. I felt that she wants to work with me to keep my eyes as healthy as possible. I have referred several friends.

Jul 15, 2015

Dr Craig was great with my 7 yo son. Very sweet! She explained what she was doing so my son wouldn't get scared during the exam. It also satisfied his curiosity!

Jul 4, 2015

"2" spent almost 1.5 hours in office, could have been quicker at 8am in morning

Jul 3, 2015

My Post Op with new doctor was a unexpected but it turned out to be a good experience. Thank you Dr. Craig for putting me at ease and making me feel comfortable. I believe you will be an asset to Dr Curl's practice.

I had been using IAN Eye Care Center for about 30 years, because when we moved here we were told it was the best and my Ophthalmologist was the best of the best. I assumed these things remained unchanged in those 30 years. Boy, was I wrong! When my doctor retired I was referred to Dr. Melissa Curl. What a refreshing change. Dr. Curl seems genuinely interested in her patients. She takes the time to explain any diagnosis and its treatment in terms anyone can understand. She then took great pains to let me know if there was any problem she would be available. This concern for her patients shows in every person who comes in contact with her patients. A top notch operation headed by a knowledgeable and caring professional.

Feb 6, 2015

I've been going to Dr. Melissa Curl for years and would not even think about going somewhere else. I keep on coming ever after moving 60 miles away and I have to separately file insurance claims due to my provider limited options for covered providers.claims due to my provider limited options.

Feb 1, 2015

Everything was nice, clean, and up to date. Very warm and friendly. They explained everything to me and my daughter, who is 9. It was her first time getting an eye exam and she was very comfortable. I can't wait for the rest of my family to be seen there. Love them!

Jan 29, 2015

Very professional service.

Jan 16, 2015

I felt well cared for, perhaps more importantly, I felt as if I was listened to. This may have been my first visit, but I plan to return year after year. A very professional and friendly staff.

Jan 9, 2015

I'm a new patient with Dr. Curl and my first visit was one of the Best visits I've ever had. From the time I walked in, to the time I left, everything was explained in detail. The atmosphere was very inviting. I'm glad I was referred to Dr. Curl.

Jan 7, 2015

For more than a decade of going to Alabama Family Eyecare, I can say that you are truly special and provide excellent care and service. Many thanks for taking care of my family's vision.

Jan 4, 2015

I have always been taken back to a room at the time of my appointment, and wait no more than a minute or two before seeing someone. The service is quick and great, and the staff is very friendly.

Dec 24, 2014

Very friendly office staff and extremely helpful during the choosing of new glasses. Doctors are very down to earth and take their time during each appt. highly recommended.

Dec 11, 2014

Though the staff has mostly turned over since my last visit (3 years ago), they were great. I really liked some of those that are gone, but the current staff is great, as well.

Nov 19, 2014

Everyone in the office cares about their work. My family will only go there. I won't miss an opportunity to give you a plug. Thanks

Nov 15, 2014

Exam was very comprehensive. Dr. Curl took the time to explain every detail quite thoroughly. Eyeware and lens pricing was quite high in my opinion.

Nov 14, 2014

My husband and I had a great experience with Dr. Curl and her staff. We were very comfortable and understood everything she explained about our vision. We are very excited about getting our glasses and being able to see.

Oct 23, 2014

My experience with this staff gave me a feeling that I was valued from the moment I walked into their office. All my questions were answered thoroughly and they were attentive to making sure I was ready to proceed to the next phase of my visit. All tests done to my eyes were explained beforehand to me at a level I could understand. All staff members who were involved with me in my visit took a personal interest in me. I received a very professional service and a level of knowledge about my eyes to satisfy my standards. I would recommend Alabama Family Eyecare and Dr. Melissa Curl to everyone seeking the best routine eye care.

Dr. Curl is my doctor. She always treats me as if I'm the only patient she has. She and her staff always give me a very in-depth examination and keeps my best interest at heart. This is also true when I need new glasses and getting frames selected that fits me the best and how they look on me for outward appearance

Jul 19, 2014

Eye exam was very thorough. And the staff are so helpful with choosing the right glasses that look good on each patient. The staff is also very patient and helpful with patients like me who have never worn contacts. A+++

I'm not much on going to the doctor - of any kind. But, everyone at your clinic made me feel very comfortable. I felt that Dr. Curl took a little extra time to make me feel comfortable and to fully explain the results of my test. It was a good experience, and I would highly recommend Alabama Family Eyecare to anyone looking for friendly and professional eyecare service.

Apr 19, 2014

I was recommended by Kristi Beaird and told she and I would receive a $25 credit. I did not receive this and called the next day so that your office would at least give Kristi her rebate.

Apr 19, 2014

Everyone is very friendly, personable and professional.

Apr 5, 2014

I do not remember how long I waited to get into the room so I did not rate that. The appointment was at 9:00 and I did not have enough time to grab some lunch for my daughter in time to make her noon hair appointment also in Hoover. Therefore, the total time was over 2.5 hours which was disappointing. Also, the digital photo was not taken and I felt almost rushed while talking to Dr. Curl. Again, I don't think she completely understood my issue and I did not feel she asked ME why I was there. I felt she talked with Connie and things must not have been understood by Dr. Curl. I have worn contacts for over 35 years and have had a dry issue for 15 years. I have seen an MD because of my issues for 20 plus years. I went there because I thought, although Dr. Susan Eiland is a wonderful physician, that Dr. Curl might be more up-to-date on current contact lenses, etc. She entered the room and began talking to me but did not talk much with me.

Apr 4, 2014

Star Rating 5. Everyone was pleasant and professional. I was listened to and I was taught at the same time. You can't ask for more than that!

Mar 29, 2014

A friendly staff who knows there job.

Mar 26, 2014

Mar 22, 2014

I am a firm believer to support locally owned and operated business. I will share my experiences with all of my contacts.

Mar 21, 2014

You guys always do a great job.

Mar 20, 2014

I always get excellent service at Alabama Family Eyecare. Never a complaint of any kind.

Mar 17, 2014

Mar 15, 2014

I always look forward to getting my eyes checked at Alabama Eye Care. The people are so nice, and the eye wear selection is awesome. I wish I had to schedule more than one appointment a year.

Mar 13, 2014

I always feel like I've been with family when I leave my appointment with Alabama Family Eye Care.

Everyone in this practice is kind and friendly and caring. I feel my questions and concerns are always addressed adequately and immediately.
