We have been patients with Dr. Russell for 14 years and he has taken great care of us and identified a vision problem with our granddaughter that had gone undetected by our previous optometrist.

Mar 13, 2021

Everything was just great Kim

Mar 11, 2021

My first visit and I don’t plan on it being my last. Everyone was very friendly and helpful while still being professional. I rated my visit a 9, only because no one is perfect. E TN Eyecare came pretty darn close though. I would recommend them to anyone needing good eyecare in a low key but very professional atmosphere.

Dr. Russell and his staff are very friendly, thorough, and professional.

Dec 17, 2020

I have been going to East Tennessee Eye Care for about 9 years. The moment I entered I knew this was a place I would be comfortable. I told Dr. Russell I was very nervous and anxious about my appointment. As a child my grandmother lived with us and was diabetic. I saw her go blind little by little. So going for eye exams was worrisome for me. After knowing my fear I was treated so well and even relaxed a little. Between Dr. Russell and the techs that work there I am so happy to find people that understand me. From Jennifer who will greet you to Lori who will check you out you will be in a caring, professional environment. I strongly suggest this eye care center and know you will be satisfied every step of the way.

Dec 16, 2020

Dr. Russell and staff were all very friendly.

Dec 16, 2020

I’ve been seeing Dr. Greg Russell for annual eye exams for many years. His exams are always very thorough and he appears to keep his equipment updated at the state-of-the-art level. He is patient and has a great personality. My last visit was during the Covid pandemic, plus I had recently completed cancer treatments and had been strictly quarantining for 10 months, so I was personally a little uncomfortable to be in an environment around several other individuals.

Dec 12, 2020

I've been a customer of East TN Eye Care since my LASIK surgery in 2010. Dr. Russell has a passion for perfection and it shows in everything he does. I had -850 & -875 vision and thanks to his careful mapping of my eyes, I came away with 20/15 vision. I look forward to my follow-up visits each year as it is a chance to catch up on things that have happened. Dr. Russell and his staff are great to work with and I'd recommend them to anyone.

Dec 9, 2020

I have known Dr Russell since his son was in first grade. He is very professional, he takes the time to get to know his patients. He explains your needs in plain English that you can understand. His staff are knowledgeable and very friendly. They are always smiling and make you feel important to them. I made the mistake of going to another eye care professional, I came running back to Dr Russell. I highly recommend Dr Russell, and all the staff here at East Tennessee Eyecare.

Dr. Russell and his entire staff always help me to feel welcome and comfortable. They are a wonderful group and offer excellent eye care.

Apr 23, 2018

Service is excellent. Not a pressure job on the glasses. Client's satisfaction is their goal. PS. Not dilating your eyes for exam is well worth the small extra out of pocket cost.

Apr 18, 2018

Dr.Russell and his staff are always great to work with!

Apr 16, 2018

I was taken to a room where a staff member did my preliminary steps such as checking my glasses and dialating my eyes . i was given a complete exam by Dr. Russell who answered all my questions. I found the website user friendly. And i was impressed that the hours of the practice also includes an evening. Giving patients an options.

Dec 18, 2017

Dr Russell and staff are knowledgable, courteous, and dedicated. They take their time to assess your needs and answer any questions. I've never been kept waiting more than 10-15 minutes past my scheduled appointment time and appointments aren't scheduled every 5 minutes as is common at any other medical facility. Over the past 20+ years as a patient, I've never had anything but an excellent experience here. I've recommended him you many people and will continue to do so.

Dec 18, 2017

Love the entire staff. Very attentive & extremely knowledgeable.

Dec 11, 2017

I have been going to this office for about 6 years now. They are very good to work with and timely in the appointments and services.

Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I was amazed that the practice set up my eye surgery so quickly for me and will be seeing me the day after each surgery instead of driving downtown. Dr. Russell is kind, knowledgeable and caring. All the staff is also very helpful and kind. Thank you for taking care of my eye health.

Always friendly and professional services given by Dr.Russell and his staff!

Dec 25, 2016

I have been a patient of Dr. Gregory C. Russell for almost 10 years. He is always energetic, informative—letting me know what is new in eyewear and contacts—and curious about what brings me in to see him in the first place. He and his team have bent over backwards to help me out of a jam, when I needed contacts in a hurry for a last-minute speaking engagement. I'm here to stay.

Dec 22, 2016

We highly recommend East Tennessee Eye Care. Dr. Russell and his staff are second to none. They are always friendly, patient, and professional.

Dec 16, 2016

Great place and great people!!!

Nov 30, 2016

Dr Gregory and his staff are very knowledgeable about the latest procedures and equipment. The office staff and Dr Gregory are professional and also down to earth. You feel completely at ease. Dr Gregory explained every thing he was doing, what he found and what he needed to do to correct any problems. Great selection of frames to choose from as well. This is someone we would highly recommend.

Nov 25, 2016

Great reminders. In this busy and fast paced world now I appreciate these reminders.

Oct 29, 2016

Thanks Dr. Gregory C. Russell for seeing our whole family at the same time. This made it easier with the little one plus we able to get her eyes checked also. Everyone was very professional yet very home inviting. Everything was explained in a way that we understood and we walked away knowing where we stand on our vision. Thanks.

Oct 21, 2016

Staff was professional as always. I received great care from Dr. Russell. He was able to work me into his schedule and take an obstruction from my eye. Many thanks to him and his staff! By far the best in TN :-)

Aug 10, 2016

We waited an hour and a half with a 10 month old to be see for an 8:45a.m. appointment and finally left without being seen.

Jul 16, 2016

Thank you for your service. We appreciate all the friendly staff & their professionalism.

Jul 7, 2016

Pleased more than I ever expected. First, before seeing Dr Russell, the assistant tested me on 5 hi-tech devices. The devices that I was tested by my previous eye doctor, as recently as 7 months ago had been 3 commonly used devices . The additional 2 devices at Dr Russell's office, I had never seen. Impressive. Just after Dr. Russell flipped several of those lens he stopped and took a closer look and immediately diagnosed cataracts on both eyes and scheduled to had them removed. 7 months ago at my previous eye exam from another eye doctor I was told I had a small cataract on one eye and it was not big enough to worry about. Yet I still could not see clearly, I mean really not clearly. I felt so relieved that Dr Russell diagnosed this so quickly and knew what had to be done. I previously was afraid I was going blind. I look forward to the eye surgery and to be able to see clearly again !!!!!! I seriously recommend Dr. Russell.

Jun 30, 2016

Love Dr Russell and his staff

Jun 21, 2016

May 11, 2016

Have been seeing Dr. Russell for last 2 years, changed from another group I had been with for numerous years. Appreciate the friendliness and helpfulness of his staff, and his down to earth friendly approach when he deals with me. Feel like I am talking to a friend or family rather than my eye doctor.

May 2, 2016

Dr. Russel and his staff always does a great job. I am always treated kindly and with respect. I would highly recommend.

Apr 24, 2016

Dr. Russell and his staff are wonderful! He has state-of-the-art equipment and is very knowledgeable. He takes the time to talk to you and to listen, which I find very important. I have been seeing him for many years, and cannot imagine going anywhere else for my eye care needs!

Apr 24, 2016

I had a great feeling about this place when I called in to make the appointment. The person on the phone way very friendly. Once at my appointment the feeling was confirmed. Everyone on the staff from the receptionist to the Dr. were very friendly and helpful. One of the best experiences in a medical office that I have.

Excellent location, service and expertise!

Apr 11, 2016

I wouldn't change anything. They were fantastic!
