I was very please with the process and the professionalism of Dr. Heinke's office. At a point I did get a panic attack (Did not realize it was a panic attack until pointed out to me) and Dr Heinke helped me relax and gave me an alternative to get the feedback regarding her findings. At the end I left the practice relaxed and smiling, Thank you great team

Very professional and caring staff. I have worn glasses for over 60 years and Dr. Heinke and her staff are the best. Dr. Heinke and her staff has provided eye care to me for many years and I intend to trust them with my vision needs in the future as well.

I got good information on my eye health, and compliments on daily care that keeps eye, lids, and lashes in good condition. Was offered a slight prescription change with no pressure to get new glasses. People are friendly and efficient. We even had fun. I can't imagine a better experience.

The level of service is much greater than I have previously experienced. Good physical exam too. Nice to have found this place

Pleasant people and effective doctor. Good visit.
Oct 28, 2023
Amazing patient interactions with younger kids. The doctors really took their time to see what would be best for my son considering his light sensitivity, during the exam they really put his comfort first. This was our first time following up outside of our home ophthalmologist and specialists out of Luries, and I have to say we were truly impressed! Highly recommend for adults with kiddos with low vision/blindness for in-between check ups/ glasses. Thank you again, for all your help!
Sep 30, 2023

My new hard contacts were uncomfortable and I was able to get rescheduled quickly. Dr. Heinke did some minor corrections to give me a great fit and improve my vision.
Sep 9, 2023
Dr. Heinke is always friendly and easy to talk to. This was my second time seeing her, and both times she told me what was going on, answered all my questions, and helped my get the proper vision correction for my needs. I like it when medical professionals are straightforward with me and informative, and Dr. Heinke definitely fits that bill.

Jul 25, 2023
All employees of Family Eye Care were professional and extremely friendly.
Jul 20, 2023
The only complaint that I have is, I sat in that office for two hours for a simple appointment. I like the doctor and I think he does a great job. I understand there was an intern, but for me to be in a doctor office for two hours is not appreciated. I think you should let your patients know if they’re going to be in the office for two hours due to an intern and let them decide if they want to wait.
Jun 29, 2023
Dr Heinke gave a very thorough exam and suggested reasons for my vision problems, not suggested by any other doctors I saw for the same problems. Perhaps she keeps herself current on recent events unlike some of the others - thanks Doc...Larry Davis
Jun 17, 2023
The staff at family Eye care are very professional. The doctors are like family and take great care with spending the time it takes to guide you through the testing procedures. I would recommend this office. I at this time don't feel any thing needs to change.
Jun 9, 2023
Very nice people, answered all my questions
Jun 6, 2023

May 30, 2023

May 17, 2023
Very professional and friendly staff!
May 11, 2023
Dr. Maxwell and Helen were so great with my 4 year old! My older two (13 year old twins) have been going here since they were five. Today I brought my almost 5 year old for his first eye visit. (He needed it for kindergarten this fall.) Helen and Dr. Maxwell were so awesome with him. They were kind, patient and empathetic. They took the time to explain everything to my little guy as they were performing the testing, which put him at ease. I highly recommend both of them to anyone needing eye care for their young or teenage kids!
May 9, 2023
Dr. Heinke was thorough and explained things incredibly well.
Apr 26, 2023

Apr 22, 2023
Excellent staff, attentive, professional, able to support me during a difficult time, lrovided resolution and referrals as I needed.
Apr 22, 2023
A lot of miscommunication regarding the appointment. I wasn’t informed prior that eyes would need to be dilated for myself or my daughter which has never been included for myself as a standard eye exam. We were about 20 min early and weren’t taken back until 20 min after appointment time. The Dr. Was very nice however never introduced himself as we were brand new patients. Was told to come back in 2 days for trial pair of contacts and when arrived they asked if someone called to say they were in. I was never told to wait for a call. Only giving a 3 for the doctors kindness and for his thorough care.
Apr 21, 2023
Always friendly and fun staff. I feel like they are part of my extended family.

Long wait to see the doctor (45 minutes), but worth the wait! Dr Maxwell was incredibly great with my soon to be 5-year old son. He was very personable and easy to talk to.

Dr. Heinke helped my daughter who is away at college through a telehealth visit. With an eye infection and nowhere local for her to go, Dr. Heinke and staff got her scheduled and seen same day, and prescription sent to her local pharmacy. I cannot thank Dr. Heinke enough for taking care of her!!

Family Eye Care of Woodstock is a great practice with friendly, knowledgeable, and professional staff. Helen has done a great job explaining every minute little detail throughout the initial exam, while Dr. Heinke gave me a very thorough detailed exam, patiently answering all my questions along the way. I was very pleased with the smooth process from being greeted, examined, having my glasses adjusted, to checking out with a clear idea of insurance benefits (or lack thereof). Very welcoming practice - can only recommend!

Sep 16, 2022
I have spent over 5 years dealing with dry eye syndrome and a number of issues related to it. I have gone to several ophthalmologists and an optometrist prior to seeing Dr. Heinke. During my first appointment with her I knew I made the right choice. She is very knowledgable, uses state of the art tools, and takes the time to explain and answer questions with genuine interest.
Sep 16, 2022

Aug 4, 2022
Great customer service and professional eye exam
Aug 4, 2022
It is always a good experience. What is most wonderful for me is that Jessica always is willing to explain what she is doing during the exam, what she is seeing and how it is important. I learn so much and I believe I can take better care of my eyes because of her narration. BTW Jessica asked me to buy "Acuicyn" spray online and use it between now and our follow up appt. But I could not find it. So I got OCuSOFT HypoChlor instead. I believe it has the same active ingredients.
Jul 23, 2022
We had the best experience with Dr. Heineken, her intern Destiny (she would be a great full-time addition to the practice!), and the rest of the staff. They were amazing with my son who was there for his first visit and Kindergarten exam. I was very impressed with the whole experience. I highly recommend them!
Jul 16, 2022
I always feel like I'm listened to when I visit. When they examine your eyes I feel they do a very thorough job.
Jun 17, 2022
I was a walk in emergency and the staff graciously took me in. Dr Heinke diagnosed right away & was very thorough. I already scheduled my next appt for a routine exam. Thank you so much!!!!

So happy to have Dr Heinke address my vision issues. Have been to another doctor that did not take the needed measures. I was also having issues with the proper fitting of my existing glasses.

My 1st apt was the most informative eye evaluation I’ve ever had. They took the time to explain every test they were doing, why it was important, what my results meant, and showed me pictures of my vision issues compared to normal/abnormal findings.

Nov 6, 2021

Dr Heinke and her staff are thorough, compent and provide outstanding patient care.
Sep 28, 2021
Dear Dr. Heinke, 9-22-21 You make ‘going to the optometrist’ tolerable. The majority of people that I know HATE going to the dentist. I Like going to the dentist, and intensely Dislike going to the optometrist. Thank You for being your professional, reassuring, knowledgeable, wonderful self. Today I had an appointment with you, and was in the machine room getting my eyes tested for various things when Helen asked me if I knew that the appointment wasn’t with you. No. Nobody told me. No worries, she said: a lot of research was done before finally selecting this highly qualified optometrist. When I went into the exam, he did indeed appear to be a truly nice and highly qualified man. The intern there also seemed to be very nice. The intern started the exam, and I was hoping as we progressed to the lens in front of my dilated eyes, looking for any signs of trouble, that it would be the experienced person looking for any signs of trouble. After all, I’ve got significant challenges/potential for challenges in my eyes, am getting older, have a bit of anxiety about having my eyes looked at, and it would be fine to have the newer person ‘check the tire pressure’ but I’d rather the experienced person do the detailed work (at least first, and then have the intern look). But no, the intern conducted the entire exam, while the highly qualified optometrist sat in front of the computer, logging in information and looking at the results of my previous tests. When I got home, my son asked how it went and I told him how frustrated/upset I was, and why. He said he had the same experience: no one told him in advance, and similar story. Dr. Heinke, I am upset for two reasons: 1. That I was not told in advance that it wouldn’t be you. 2. That with a patient with non-typical eyes & etc, the experienced optometrist didn’t examine my eyes at all – it was all left in the hands of a very nice person without as much experience. Sincerely, Dorothy
Sep 23, 2021
Caring and attentive people. I was very impressed with the facilities and the kindness I received from them.

Dr. Is not in a hurry and takes her time addressing any and all concerns you may have. Have recommended them to others looking for eye care and have never heard any complaints, only compliments.
Jun 30, 2021
Dr. Heinke and her staff provide quality service and eye care in a personable, professional manner.
Jun 26, 2021
Dr. Heinke and her staff provide consistently outstanding care. Her knowledge is extensive and her staff are as compassionate as is she.
Jun 25, 2021
Services rendered to me on 6/18/2021 were superb and educational as well as helpful for continuing to use family eye care services. The whole staff was great in expediting check-in, preparing and performing preliminary tests. The doctor took the time to explain her findings and encouraged eye protection for my sole working eye. Paperwork to be sent to Illinois secretary of state was prepared and completed. Everything was super great.

Dr. Heinke is both very personable and professional

very nice folks and a beautiful selection of glasses

I was very impressed with the thoroughness of my initial exam. Having seen 4 other Optometrists in the area over many years, I had a good basis to compare and Family Eye Care of Woodstock far exceeded my expectations. Everyone in this office was a pleasure to work with and Dr. Paul Maxwell was exemplary in investigation and addressing my eye issues.
May 28, 2021
Dr Maxwell very nice and caring. Dora extremely helpful with obtaining insurance information. Thank you so much.
May 28, 2021
Dr. Heinke did an exceptional examination of my eyes, answered my questions thoroughly and provided me with great information for future medical attention that I would need for my vision.
May 26, 2021
I visited Family Eye Care for Eye glass prescription information.Received required Information. Thank You
May 24, 2021
Dr. Heinke is awesome! The rest of my experience is not what I could consider stellar. Such a disappointment.
May 12, 2021
all of the eye care tests were completed very well. The doctor explained things so I could understand the details of the exam.
May 11, 2021
I've been one of Dr. Heinke's patients for many years, and always feel my eyesight is in good hands with her! Her knowledge seems cutting-edge (as well as the equipment in the office). Plus she's not only always cheerful and frank; her assistants and office staff are also personable and "with it."
Apr 28, 2021
I would enthusiastically recommend Dr. Heinke and the Family Eye Care staff to anyone seeking excellent care. Dr. Heinke is both knowledgeable and caring, and takes time to answer any questions. Her staff are well trained and professional, and always willing to assist you.
Apr 27, 2021
Very professional, knowledgeable and prompt.
Apr 25, 2021
I have chronic, severe dry eyes and when I have a flare, I appreciate the kindness and concern of the entire staff to get me in so I can get help.
Apr 22, 2021
Great service and support. Product samples and order arrived within 2 days of my appointment. Keep up the great work.
Aug 11, 2016
Very thorough and compassionate-excellent care!
Aug 1, 2016
Dr. Heinke was very patient and supportive with Mary.
Jul 29, 2016
I've never had such a complete and enlightening exam as with Dr Heinke. I learned things about my eye health that I simply could not ignore any longer. It was honest and although difficult to hear, I simply cannot take my eye sight for granted any longer. Great experience with a kind and attentive staff.
Jul 22, 2016
I've been to Family Eye Care twice and have been very pleased both times - the staff are all knowlledgable and friendly and I didn't have to wait a long time for my appointment as I have with other eye doctors
Jul 17, 2016
Very impressed with the overall experience. Very competent staff, direct and efficient. Also, didn't have to wait long.
Jun 19, 2016
This was my first visit. All staff members were delightful and informative. The technology in use was impressive and was explained to me as it was employed. Dr. Heinke is extremely knowledgeable and able to comfortably explain technical terms in layman's language which made me very comfortable. I would recommend this practice without reservation. John Kopeck
May 27, 2016
As always the wait time was non-existent and also as always Dr Heinke and her staff very courteous and helpful. Always learn something new!
May 25, 2016

May 25, 2016
Friendly and patient staff! Even my 5 year old and baby enjoyed their visit.
May 15, 2016
Dr. Heinke is great at explaining medical information regarding eye issues and options. She is knowledgeable and cares about her patients.
May 4, 2016
Dr. Heinke is extremely knowledgeable, warm and friendly. I look forward to working with her to find the best solutions to my unique vision issues.
Apr 30, 2016
It is worth the drive from Caledonia to come to you.
Apr 9, 2016
This was my first visit to Family Eyecare of Woodstock. Everyone was friendly, attentive and efficient. No long waiting, even though they were busy that day. Great experience.
Mar 23, 2016
Inform clients of a full financial range of an eye care product, from lowest to highest.
Mar 22, 2016
Very nice and professional office. This was my first visit and I will return.
Mar 19, 2016
Really like Dr Heinke and most of the staff. Unfortunately, spent over 2 hours in office total for appointment. I appreciate that Dr. took her time with us and didn't have one hand on the door, however 2 hours is a bit long considering my busy family schedule. Still, I will continue at this office because certain staff members make it worthwhile!
Mar 16, 2016
Eye Dr. always top notch but staff could use some courtesy training.
Mar 11, 2016
I can't recall the name of the woman who helped me choose my glasses, but I loved her and she picked a fabulous pair for me! Ophelia was also wonderful, as was the doctor. All-in-all a most pleasant experience!
Mar 8, 2016
Prices on glasses are too expensive for the average person.
Mar 1, 2016
My husband and I have been going to see Dr. Heinke since 2007. She's friendly, thorough, and stays up to date on the latest findings and treatments. She goes the extra mile to make sure we get great care, even consulting our primary care doctor with health concerns. We couldn't be in better hands!
Feb 26, 2016
Everyone is always so pleasant and helpful. A pleasure to go there
Feb 16, 2016
Everything was wonderful and I was pleased with the thoroughness of my exam and the courteousness of the office staff.
Jan 16, 2016
Everyone was friendly and helpful. The new doctor was very knowledgeable, friendly and answered all my questions.
Jan 11, 2016
I had a great experience and feel like I got a much more comprehensive exam than I have anywhere else in the past. Your selection of frames is also very good and I love that you're so helpful in guiding us toward frames we may like.
Jan 1, 2016
Great visit. My favorite Dr. and place to visit - always great. And Helen rocks too.
Dec 30, 2015
I forgot to bring in my birthday discount the day of my appointment. I will be stopping by to see if you will honor it.
Dec 15, 2015
I am very happy with the exam and the staff at Family Eye Care of Woodstock. I struggle with the price of glasses. I ordered new lenses for my existing frames and my bill was still over $300 after insurance. In the future I will likely come back for my annual exam but, buy my glasses elsewhere.
Nov 25, 2015
I had asked for some guidance so that I could make a decision about ordering glasses. Although I left last night with some knowledge, I was contacted today with additional information that helped me come to a conclusion. Thank you for following up!! PS - The new team members I interacted with were great!
Nov 25, 2015
I feel lucky to have found Dr.Heinke and her team - Dr.Heinke is thorough,very personable and gives you her full attention;I always know I am in good hands ! Kathy takes the time to assure the glasses are a good fit and look;Cindy is efficient and patient when assisting with billing problems,etc.Thank you - you are the best ! I have recommended you often and in fact was referred to you initially also.
Nov 21, 2015
A visit to see Dr. Heinke for my eye care needs is always a very positive experience. Her staff had contacted me a few days prior to my appointment to offer me an earlier time slot, which was very much appreciated although my schedule did not allow me to accept it. On the day of my appointment I actually got in a few minutes early! That was a welcomed surprise when most health care professionals run at least a few minutes to an hour late! Dr. Heinke took the time, as always, to inquire about overall health and any pertinent issues, which lends important context/insights to the doctor-patient relationship and treatment process. She gives you her undivided attention and never rushes. In today's challenging healthcare environment it is truly refreshing and reassuring to know that I/we have such an outstanding professional to rely on and TRUST. Thank you Dr. Heinke!!
Nov 17, 2015
Wonderful caring doctor and staff. If I could change anything maybe user friendly testing machines.
Nov 15, 2015
An email, phone call and text the day before to confirm my appointment seemed like a bit of overkill. Also, website was unavailable to print out forms before I came in. Minor inconvenience.
Nov 6, 2015
EVERYONE was so warm and friendly. The doctor was thorough and informative in explaining my eye health and contact lens options. I am so happy to have found you as my family's new eye doctor.
Oct 31, 2015
I was surprised that when it says family eye care it did not seem to be family friendly. One bead toy in the corner and not much sympathy for a crabby baby. I'm not expecting for a babysitter, but maybe not a glare while my 16 month old is crying. Other than that the visit was satisfactory.
Oct 24, 2015
The Dr was fantastic and the front desk after the initial when I got there 5 min before my apt I filled out my name on the sign in sheet In font of atleast 3 people behind the desk. No acknowledgement until I went back up 10 min later.
Oct 24, 2015
I have been going to you since Dr. Schuberth retired and have been assisted by Helen and Kathy many times and they are great! They are both so much fun to chat with, very professional and have given good recommendations when having to choose glasses. This was my 3rd time (I think) with Dr. Heinke and she's wonderful, very informative and thorough. Your clinic is just wonderful!
Oct 21, 2015
I was so surprised about the diagnosis; I guess overwhelmed is a better word, I couldn't focus on the information presented. It was displayed and explained well, but perhaps a handout on the whole diagnosis and possible resolutions would be nice to review following the appt. As far as the cost involved, I didn't ask about payment plans because I foresee a cash payment, but that was something I might have thought to ask about anyway to see if a plan is actually possible. It was nice to have the reception staff go ahead and schedule the necessary "pre-op" appt for me while I was checking out. That puts a plan in place and gives me some direction with regard to time off requests at work and planning around holidays. Thanks so much, everyone! Best regards, Laurel
Oct 7, 2015
Only about 10 min past my apptmt time when I got in.
Oct 2, 2015
I was not a fan of the woman who had to take the pictures of my son's eyes. She was rather rude and not patient. My son is 3. He doesn't just sit still when told to do so and her saying "you need to sit still, he can do it himself". Her ton and attitude definitely conveyed she had no patience or tolerance for small children. I did like the eye dr though she was patient and tried to do her best with the situation.
Sep 18, 2015
The wait time was less than 15 minutes --approximately 10
Sep 5, 2015
I was not happy that the appointment took 1 hour and 45 minutes. I was not prepared to be there that long and was unable to accomplish other errands that I had planned that afternoon. I did not know ahead of time that my eyes would be dilated. I might not have made the appointment that day had I known that. The office staff seemed rather disorganized maybe because they were trying to handle too many patients at once. However, I have noticed some disorganization previously regarding appointments, insurance details, and billing.
Sep 1, 2015
There was a little of a wait and that was hard at the end of a long day with two small kids. The lady who did the pretest was not super kid-friendly and seemed impatient when my daughter did not do the test accurately (being her first time I would assume some issues and more kindness). We LOVED Dr. Heinke and the office staff. The doctor was very friendly and very informative. Loved our visit despite the two little mishaps.
Sep 1, 2015
Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Extremely efficient. Dr Jessica is fantastic. She explains everything and is super patient. It's always a great experience when visiting the office.
Aug 27, 2015
I always feel like I have received a quality exam and care after my appointment. The doctor and staff generate that feeling in their attitude and demeanor.
Aug 21, 2015
Very knowledgable and wonderful staff. Excellent steric and really thorough exam. From my 6 year old to Mom and Dad we were very happy with Dr. Heinke and the entire staff. You and your family will not be disappointed.
Aug 21, 2015
In this modern day it was such a pleasure to visit your "Old School" practice that sincerely cares and was so through! I wish I was local. Thanks
Aug 6, 2015
Everything was excellent. The only thing that I would find different to the big box stores is thag the glasses and frames appear to be more expensive.
Jul 31, 2015
Very friendly staff. I feel I received excellent care.
Jul 23, 2015
Dr. Heinke was extremely informative and took a thorough look at my health history and supplements to ensure that everything was in balance from an eyecare perspective. The front desk staff was kind and helpful. They squeezed me in that same day to take care of my eye emergency. It was busy, so my follow-up appt wasn't scheduled. (We all forgot about it!) I called back a few days later to schedule.
Jul 23, 2015
This was my first visit and I am glad to say it was very enjoyable. Dr. Heinke took the time to explain what was going on and was very thorough. I am really pleased in my visit and will continue to use Dr. Heinke in the future.
Jul 23, 2015
All staff were very nice & helpful. I wish I could've chosen frames before dilation. Couldn't see very well & prices, not at all. I wonder if I should've taken my lens Rx elsewhere to save money. A bit shocked at price of glasses and could only have receptionist read invoice to me, so did not really get to see details as to what cost what. Perhaps there were other options that would've saved money. No options were discussed.

I was seen as a new patient with an emergency. They were very kind in scheduling me quickly so that I could be seen in a timely manner. Thank you!
Jun 18, 2015
Very professional staff and the doctor was great. I would suggest one thing and that is if you know the patient needs glasses give them the option to pick out frames before you dialate their eyes. I am a little concerned that i picked a good frame for me because i couldn't see very well when I was picking out my frames because of my eyes being dialated. Crossing my fingers that they look good at this point
May 28, 2015
Very helpful and friendly staff. Dr took extra time to be thorough and even helped me choose glasses
May 20, 2015
Am anxious to try new procedure for dry eyes and will comment on that after it is done.
May 19, 2015
Nothing comes to mind at this time. I am very pleased & comfortable with your service
May 12, 2015
The doctor and the staff were very thorough in providing me a comprehensive eye exam. I feel comfortable in the fact that I received the absolute best eye care.
Apr 11, 2015
very easygoing visit felt that i was in professional hands.
Mar 19, 2015
I really cannot suggest any changes for the better, everything was handled quickly, efficiently and all questions were answered. Dr. Heinke put me at ease and allowed me to feel that with my new glasses I will be able to read again without struggling. Thank you all.
Mar 16, 2015
Staff is always very nice and very helpful.
Feb 27, 2015
Everyone is patient and kind. That is rare in busy environments. Thank you!
Feb 17, 2015
The receptionist was rude for no reason. When asked how much longer I would wait I was again given attitude.
Feb 17, 2015
I think the office is very friendly. However, the young girl that did the testing was a bit unsure of herself. She started one of the tests without explaining. When I asked for clarification, she acted like she didn't really know what the test looked like. She was nice but needed more training.
Feb 13, 2015
Dr.Heinke was great at explaining everything and very thorough. I appreciated her care.
Feb 13, 2015
Neither I nor my child will return to this practice. The staff was rushed and impatient. The equipment used in the first room smelled nasty and it looked greasy. I asked the woman who brought me into the room to change the paper on one machine, and she seemed annoyed. She did some testing on my eyes, but she didn't introduce herself and she never explained what the tests were nor what the results were. Later, I had to interrupt the doctor from a conversation in the waiting area so that she could finish my eye exam. I felt very uncomfortable and poorly treated.
Feb 11, 2015
I would change nothing everything was great
Feb 11, 2015
I arrived at 2:00 and left at 4:30. And a gentleman before me was there when I arrived and still was there when I left. I've never had so much waiting between testing with the machines, waiting for Dr. Heinke, waiting to have frames fit (and I had already picked out the frames), waiting to get my present glasses tightened, waiting to pay and make another appt. and I've never had to have my eyes dilated twice for one appointment. There was nothing extra that was done for this appointment and that's never taken more than one hour. I was very disappointed. And the gentleman before me was unbelievably patient!! He was certainly more of a gentleman than I was!!
Jan 23, 2015
JUST REMINDING YOU TO SEND MY RECORDS TO DR P. NARANG IN MCHENRY IL. THANKS
Jan 14, 2015
There was an automatic assumption that I'd be purchasing new glasses without any discussion. The person who assisted me with this didn't explain much and disappeared for 20 minutes to check on the insurance etc. I was then called up and given a bill for something I hadn't agreed to buy or given the price for. The dr was great, I just feel that being there for almost 90 minutes was a long time. I was there for an exam, not to purchase new glasses.
Dec 29, 2014
Everyone that works at this is office is wonderful. The service is excellent and we love coming to this office. No complaints :-)
Dec 29, 2014
Dr Heinke does a great job. She is thorough, takes her time, and has made good suggestions as to how to improve my eye health. Highly recommended!
Dec 17, 2014
My visit great! I couldn't have gone better.
Dec 14, 2014
Kind of a long wait when my appt. was scheduled for 10:15.
Dec 4, 2014
At this time I can not think of anything that should be changed. Everything went very smoothly and no problems.
Nov 25, 2014
I had a great experience on my first visit. All my questions and concerns were addressed in a positive manner. Staff was friendly and Dr, Heinke was very professional and genuine.
Nov 19, 2014
Due to a medical concern from my physician, Dr Heinke and staff responded to see me in Nov '14, ahead a scheduled Jan '15 appointment. In addition to an exam, they ran two different scans so results could be forwarded in a timely manner to my physician and also to my neurologist. Dr. Heinke has always taken the patience to review my Keratoconus condition using gas permiable contacts, an very accurately prescribe a correction.
Nov 15, 2014
It was helpful having photos taken wearing the different frames. Choosing frames before the exam and dialated eyes might be helpful if you know you want new glasses.
Nov 8, 2014
Got A very fast appointment Dr Heinke Explains things very well.
Nov 7, 2014
The entire staff at Family Eye Care of Woodstock was wonderful and very professional. My exam was thorough and informative. My choices of eye wear were explained and my lifestyle was considered when options were presented.
Nov 5, 2014
I was very pleased with my visit with Dr. Heinke. I appreciate that she is very cautious and told me what needed to be done. Thanks.
Oct 4, 2014
Grateful that you have the quality standard you do in frames as I have had my glasses for years saving so that some day I can purchase a new pair. Please remove me from text messages, if you are able to.
Sep 28, 2014
I was a new patient and I felt very welcome. The Dr. was caring and concerned. The staff was very pleasant and so very helpful.
Sep 27, 2014
As always, the visit was friendly, painless
Sep 26, 2014
Could move your entire staff up to Lake Geneva,!,!
Sep 16, 2014
Dr is great. But, I am very upset. At my son's appointment my husband was told that there were not any free frames. During my appointment I was shown the free Davis vision glasses. I was very upset to learn that there were, in fact, free frames available for my son(who loses everything). It was to late. He already recieved his glasses.
Aug 31, 2014
Can't imagine a better exam anyplace else…love your frames and staff!
Aug 11, 2014
Every one is friendly and incredibly knowledgeable.
Jul 27, 2014
Time is a key for me. The total appointment time was an hour and a half. I, of course, appreciate the individual attention and want to make sure everything is appropriately and thoroughly covered, but wait time is occasionally a challenge in my schedule. Otherwise, everything was great! Thanks for asking.
Jul 21, 2014
Every time I come in to the office the staff is so warm and welcoming. Add to that a doctor that is determined to get things as close to great as possible, and you have a winning combination. I highly encourage anyone to stop by for their eye care needs.
Jul 14, 2014
Have been patients for many years, always have been treated very good, they are very professional but very friendly
Jul 9, 2014
It seems like the cost of glasses is really high. Is there anyway you could be more competitive?
Jun 21, 2014
Dr. Heinke always takes the necessary time to fully evaluate my situation and make recommendations. In the years I've been going to her for my eye care I have never felt a moment of being rushed. Her full attention is on the patient. She is extremely knowledgeable and her professional demeanor is compassionate and kind. I always feel confident in treatment direction. Her staff is friendly and attentive.
Jun 18, 2014
Have been going to this facility for over 25 years and highly recommend.
Jun 16, 2014
Was very happy to learn about and sign up for the Care Credit program to help with payment. Thanks.
Jun 6, 2014
Take care of your eyes here. You use them all your waking hours. They will 'see you through' any issues.
May 11, 2014
I love that every time I walk in I am given a friendly greeting. My boys are given so much fun attention that they never mind going to the eye doctor. My boys can be rough on their glasses and I always feel that the office staff works hard to fix the for us! Great selection on glasses, friendly and hard working staff, and doctors that take their time to evaluate and make sure you understand! Thank you!!
May 6, 2014
I was seated just under 10min after our appt. Wanted to clairify bc there was no option for that.
Apr 27, 2014
Liked Dr. Heinke and her staff very much. Everyone was warm and friendly. Kathy was a great help in selecting frames. Very positive experience.
Apr 25, 2014
Very thorough exam. Excellent explanations. Always on time. I highly recommend.
Apr 9, 2014
Everyone there is amazing. I have always had excellent care. The staff is friendly, caring and well-trained and I never feel rushed. And Dr. Heinke is top notch. I wouldn't trust my sight to anyone else. Thanks to all!
Apr 4, 2014
Short-handed that day and I didn't get focused attention on my selection of glasses and costs. Staff is friendly and seem to know their areas of expertise (e.g., Kathy knows frames and Cindy knows billing). I didn't feel the level of customer service I would expect for the amount of money and time invested on my part. Felt like I was squeezed in between others -- not attentive or focused on me which I feel every customer should experience.
Apr 2, 2014
The front office staff is very impersonal. There doesnt seem to be a positive upbeat atmosphere between the ladies and the customer. And I have noticed that for a while and have decided it was time tk say somethjng.
Mar 27, 2014
I was billed through my health insurance rather than my vision insurance without a proper understanding. I was supposed to get a phone call back explaining why, but no one ever called back. Was seemed rush purchasing my frames. They used to give a 4 screen split shot to show different frames on you. Wasn't even given that option. Next time I won't schedule my appointment so close to lunch. Seemed like I was an inconvenience to them.
Mar 21, 2014
I was very grateful for the explanation of my insurance coverage -- that I would not be eligible for new lenses until June. Thank you.
Mar 21, 2014
Dr Heinke is very thorough and explained everything to me in very easy-to-understand terms. She listened to my issues and did some extra tests to determine the cause of my issues. I only wish my other doctors could work with the same thoughtfulness and professionalism.
Mar 10, 2014
Dr. Heinke is an outstanding eye doctor. She's pleasant, attentive, & explains everything. She has caught several problems with me & my family that have gone unnoticed by other eye doctors. She's awesome!
Mar 7, 2014
Dr. Heinke was very thorough and I feel very well taken care of. The glasses area in the waiting room seems exposed, but I don't know how this could be remedied, as it would need another room with adequate space.
Mar 7, 2014
