My wife and I were in need of a quick appointment. Lifetime Vision was able to get us in quickly. The office was well laid-out and the staff were professional. Dr. Wilkens did the pre-exam testing herself, whereas other offices tend to have assistants do the work for the doctor. I was so impressed with the thoroughness of the exam.

Aug 4, 2018

The Doctors are great! I always receive friendly service as well as a thorough eye exam. I recommend Lifetime Vision to all my friends and family!

Jul 5, 2018

I love going to the eye doctor!

Jun 20, 2018

Easy to work with, convenient appointment times, great location. My new contact lens prescription has eliminated the need to reach for the reading glasses when I get on the computer. Well satisfied!

Jun 16, 2018

Compassionate and knowledgeable staff makes each visit always a great experience! Dr. Wilkens takes to the time to explain each step and answer any questions you might have. The office staff are so very pleasant and engaging. I'm so glad I found this Optometrist office!

Dr. Wilkens is very professional and a joy to visit with as you get your eyes examined.

Apr 7, 2018

Great place everyone is very friendly!

Mar 29, 2018

My appointment was for a short check after reporting a change in my vision, however after seeing Doctor Tekippe, there was no change noticed, I will be returning in April for a full check up then.

Mar 22, 2018

I am so happy to find an eye clinic that considers me and my unconventional style. Calling the sales representative in the same day as my appointment really goes beyond service. I look forward to my appointment each year. I love seeing all the lastest styles and talking about new products.

Mar 19, 2018

Wonderful office staff and Great doctors!

Mar 7, 2018

As always, Lifetime Vision was fantastic. We just started going to them last year, but I wish we had found them sooner. Everyone in the office is amazingly friendly, and Dr. Wilkes is great at explaining everything and making sure you are comfortable with any next steps.

Mar 7, 2018

Quick, professional service! Friendly, helpful staff and dr.!

Mar 6, 2018

As always, my visit was a very pleasant experience.

Mar 2, 2018

I was able to get in before my scheduled vision exam due to a broken blood vessel in my eye. I explained my situation and was able to get in the next day. They explained to me if have any other eye issues or concerns to contact them.

Feb 15, 2018

Dec 12, 2017

Excellent Service! Dr. Erin Wilkins is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I very much appreciated the prompt appointment (in and out the door in an Hour) . I would rate one of the best vision doctor in the Johnston area.

Nov 17, 2017

Dr. Wlikens is very caring and does an excellent job! So does her staff. You always feel well cared for and she knows her stuff. We were both very pleased with our exams and new glasses.

Nov 1, 2017

The whole staff is always so nice from right when you walk in to when you leave.

Nov 1, 2017

I felt like I was the most important person in the office. Dr Tikppe spent a lot of time explaining what is happening with my eyes. I know I will always get a good examination from Dr. Tikppe.

Oct 26, 2017

Great eye exam, personal service, and overall just a great experience.

Oct 26, 2017

Fantastic service. Everybody was polite and friendly and made me feel at ease.

Oct 24, 2017

I'm so happy to have found Dr. Wilkens. She is super friendly and always answers any questions I have in a way I understand them! She is a great doctor and I would highly recommend her!

Sep 12, 2017

I have been going to Dr. Wilkens for many years. She and her staff are very professional and caring. Dr. Wilkens takes the time to answer all my questions and I never feel rushed during an appointment. I would definitely recommend her.

Aug 28, 2017

Lifetime Vision provides excellent care from a comprehensive exam to great selection of glasses.

Aug 11, 2017

I have moved my husband, 2 daughters and myself to Lifetime Vision. The people are friendly and willing to help with a smile!! Great place and very kid friendly!

Aug 4, 2017

Love the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. These folks make you feel comfortable and truly cared for.

Jul 27, 2017

I always appreciate the personalized care I receive.

Jun 17, 2017

I love coming to this place. Everyone is so nice and makes you feel at home.

Jun 13, 2017

I have always had good experiences at Lifetime Vision, and this most recent visit was no exception. All my questions were answered, the atmosphere is calm and clean, the staff friendly, the doctor intelligent and personable. I'll keep coming back.

Jun 13, 2017

The staff was very kind and helpful. They went over and above by adjusting my non-prescription sunglasses, making coffee for me, and taking care to make sure I was ok after dialation.

May 11, 2017

I have been looking for a place in the Johnston area for regular eye check-ups. I have a 2nd grader and a junior in high-school and Dr. Erin Wilkens and office staff were amazing with both of them. I would highly-recommend Lifetime Vision!

Apr 25, 2017

always enjoy going to lifetime vision they are so pleasant to me. All the employees are friendly and ready to answer any question I have.

Apr 17, 2017

Great experience nice staff

Jun 20, 2016

Had very bad experience with eye doctor in different town but when I came here to lifetime vision to see Dr. Erin I stop in every year and best experience ever. She helps me with my contacts and I can count on her!! Her assistant is great also :)

Jan 5, 2016

Great office Dr and staff

Jan 4, 2016

Friendly staff and awesome service.

Oct 17, 2015

Dr. Wilkens is very nice and a pleasure to work with. She knows her stuff and runs a very friendly and organized office.

Oct 12, 2015

Very easy to get a time that works best for me. Very courteous and knowledgeable staff.

Jul 30, 2015

Dr Wilkens is a wonderful eye doctor. She is always patient, thorough, and listens to any concerns.

Jul 18, 2015

Lovely office, great location, friendly doctor and staff. My 5-year old daughter claimed she needed glasses but I wasn't so sure! Dr. Wilkens was great with her and got to the bottom of it! I plan to bring my 9-year old son in soon for a check as well because he's never been to the eye doc before.

Jan 30, 2015

Outstanding service by everyone. Welcoming office setting, feels very comfortable and relaxed. Dr. Wilkens gave me the most thorough exam I have EVER had, and she took time to explain everything and answer all my questions-wonderful! Appreciate all the help from ?Rachel with my eye glass selection, she is great!

Jan 28, 2015

Dr. Wilkens was pleasant to work with. I had some issues with billing when I picked up my contacts. They were going to charge me considerably more than what it should have been. There were two errors that had to be fixed and the desk person did so with a good attitude. The only difficulty was getting the problem figured out.

Jan 16, 2015

Excellent service, very happy.

Jan 16, 2015

Every aspect of my visit was great. Greeted upon entry, welcomed, minimal wait time and great experience during the exam. Very pleasant to work with and very personable. Erin Wilkens and her staff ROCK!

Jan 16, 2015

I saw Dr. Wilkens years ago prior to her moving to this company and thought her practice had moved elsewhere.I was thrilled to find out she was still practicing and saw her this week for an irritation with my eye. In the process though her staff helped make me aware that I am eligible for my annual examine and got me set up for that as well! I will be back next week for that.

Jan 15, 2015

Courteous prompt service

Jan 15, 2015

My husband and I were very happy with the service we received. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. We will definitely keep coming back. Thanks

Jan 15, 2015

Being a new patient, I was nervous as to how my experience would be. I felt right as home as soon as I walked in. Thanks for a great experience!

Jan 15, 2015

I had a great experience at Lifetime Vision. The entire staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgable. I'll definitely be returning and recommending it to friends and family!

Oct 24, 2014

Everyone was so nice! Love Dr. Wilkens! She is very easy to talk to!! I would definitely recommend her to anyone!!

Sep 10, 2014

Friendly staff

Aug 22, 2014

Dr, Wilkens took the time to do a thorough exam, discuss problems I was having & offering me a 10 day trial option to improve my concerns. She also did a great job explaining her findings of the multiple exam components. I found the receptionist very patient & helpful in choosing new frames. I was very pleased.

Aug 19, 2014

It was good and efficient and she answered any questions I had also.

Aug 16, 2014

All staff was very helpful and courteous. Had a wide variety of frames to choose from. Dr Wilkens was very nice , professional, and knowledge. Our (my wife and I) had a great experience having our exams and purchase of frames and lenses. I would recommend any one to lifetime Vision for any and all of Thor vision needs.

Aug 14, 2014

I still don't have my glasses so I will give you more feedback when they have arrived. I very much liked Dr. Wilkins. She was personable, professional and very thouroughly examined my eyes. I was impressed. I felt it was a more comprehensive exam than I had been getting from my opthomologist. I also appreciated Rachel who helped me with frames. She was very good. BUT my frustration is with the long wait for my glasses to arrive. I ordered them on July 11th. It is now the 19th and I'm told they will be here by Monday the 23rd. Too long! These glasses were not inexpensive, over $1000. My husband just ordered glasses from you in April, spending $400. He had the same frustration with a long wait time ( about two weeks) for his lenses. If we ever needed emergency glasses after an accident, thae wait times would be absolutely unacceptable. We'll most likely give you another round of glasses in a year or so because we like Dr. Wilkens so much, but if we have to wait this long again, we'll be heading for Costco.

Jun 19, 2014

Thank you for taking good care of a friend in Christ. Darrell

Jun 18, 2014

did a outstanding job for me thank you

Jun 17, 2014

Erin is extremely knowledgable and has always done a great job with eye exams and if I ever had an issue like scratching my eye on accident, etc. she has always found time to see me right away and that is great peace of mind. I always like seeing Dr. Wilkins. She has a warm smile and a kindness that is very accessible. In short, she is fantastic and I can't imagine seeing anyone else, unless of course she moved to another city, than I would have to consider it.

Jun 12, 2014

Excellent exam and with no complaints. Only suggestion I will make is prior to the exam ask the question about eye dilation. If I will like to have my eyes dilated, I will be able to plan accordingly; this was an optional test for me.

Jun 11, 2014

We've been patients of Dr Wilkes for many years. We followed her from her from her previous employer. This exam was very thorough and she is such a delightful personality to work with.

Jun 10, 2014

Fast, easy and everyone treated me with respect :)

Mar 30, 2014

The doctor was wonderful and answered all of my questions about laser eye surgery. She even said she would help me manage the process if I chose to have the surgery.

Mar 24, 2014

Very professional and caring

Mar 20, 2014

I have been wearing glasses for about 10 years and have never had a positive experience with an optometrist until now. I have incredibly sensitive eyes to light and touch and each appointment was a painful one. This would lead me to avoiding eye exams and updating my prescription. Dr. Wilkens was very patient, gentle and kind and provided the best care I've experienced thus far. She explained every step and answered all my questions. I am confident and very relieved that I can return for an eye exam every year from now on. Thank you very much!

Mar 20, 2014

I liked the ability to have my forms filled out prior to the oppointment. A nice touch would be if I could have done that online instead of printing them out. I arrived early and did not have to wait over 3 minutes. Greg, the assoc manager was very pleasant and helpful.

Mar 17, 2014

I felt like the Dr. was in a rush. When I was putting my contacts in I told the lady that the one didn't feel right, could the Dr look at it. She told him and he ignored her because he was in a rush to leave. He just left. She just looked at me and didn't know what to say. She was very good and patient with me. I would not recommend your office. I would not want a friend or family member of mine to feel how I felt.

Mar 11, 2014

Appointment was quick, but not hurried. Staff was knowledgeable and efficient.

Mar 8, 2014

This is my second time visiting Dr. Wilkens, unfortunately she was not in the office the day of my appointment so I saw Dr. Schulz. I felt he was so impersonal and basically brushed off my question about my sensitivity to light. After that, I wasn't about to ask if I was a good candidate for lasik or if I should switch my brand of contacts. I also will not return due to the fact that the office is in Pearle Vision and the associates there are always so busy with breaks, lunches, and the occasional customer that I wouldn't want to bother them with picking out glasses or helping me with ordering contacts.

Feb 24, 2014

Very efficient and professional.

Feb 23, 2014

Excellent eye exam.

Feb 22, 2014

I was very pleased with the service and help I received at my recent eye exam and the subsequent choosing of new frames. Thank you.

Feb 20, 2014

Great service fast and through.

Feb 20, 2014

Awesome

Feb 5, 2014

Very professional physician and excellent at explaining my diagnosis.

Feb 2, 2014

My exam was handled on time, professionally and it was informative. When the Pearle Vision people had a question about the prescription, they double checked it with the Doctor which I felt was good in that I knew I would be getting the correct script. When I was having trouble with the eye exam in that I could not read clearly out of one eye, the Doctor took the time to find out what was happening so it could be monitored or corrected. It was a wonderful experience.

Jan 27, 2014

Very informative and friendly.

Jan 25, 2014

Dr. Wilkens was very helpful, answering any questions I had about my surgery and about how to choose "cheaters" to wear when I am doing close-up work.

Jan 23, 2014

Everyone was very professional and easy to talk to. I didn't have to wait for anything.

Jan 15, 2014

Dr. Wilkens is great!

Jan 13, 2014

I really really like Dr Wilkens. She is the BEST. Dr Schulz? Not so much. His response to my anxiety over bifocals was to make me feel old and stupid. The worst part of the whole ordeal was when I wanted to use my own frames the kids had given me for Christmas to get lenses put in. They refused to do it. So I simply walked upstairs to Lenscrafters to get it done. And then took my son up there as well to get his new glasses. After coming here for 10 years and spending around $500-$900 each January--I am done. I will no longer be returning.

Jan 8, 2014

Very knowledgeable and he did a quick efficient job on the exam!

Jan 7, 2014

Dr. Wilkens and the rest of the staff are top notch professionals. Friendly and courteous, a great place to trust your eye examinations.

Dec 27, 2013

Professional, friendly, helpful, couldn't ask for more.

Dec 20, 2013

The last few times I've been there, I wasn't seen by Erin but other doctors. I'd like to have a consistent OD. I also would like to see better pricing for those of us who are self-paying. We're a lot less overhead compared to those with insurance headaches.

Dec 19, 2013

Erin was very friendly and helpful. She explained everything she was going to do and why she was doing it. Just the right combination of professionalism and helpfulness.

Dec 12, 2013

Quick and good service

Dec 10, 2013

Thank you - I enjoy coming in for exams.

Dec 8, 2013

Doctor was very pleasant, thorough and explained everything. Great job!

Nov 17, 2013

She was very good with my son. He over thinks things before he answers questions sometimes and Dr. Wilkens was very patient with him. Very appreciative of that.

Nov 15, 2013

Very pleasant, professional service

Nov 9, 2013

I got right in and was diagnosed quickly and efficiently!

Nov 2, 2013

Dr. Schulz was great to work with. The Office Manager was very patient in helping me pick out my frames! A good experience all around.

Oct 22, 2013

Everything was explained well and service was prompt and friendly.

Oct 20, 2013

I as very pleased with my visit, the Staff and the fact that I did not have to wait very long once I arrived for my appointment.

Oct 8, 2013

This office is the most friendly. Everyone was pleasant and caring. Will recommend to everyone. Thank you so much for taking care of my family.

Oct 5, 2013

Outstanding, prompt, and knowledgeable service.

Sep 28, 2013

Erin is awesome! Very nice and seems to care a lot :)

Sep 25, 2013

Dr. Wilkens is extremely thorough in her examinations and takes the extra time to make sure her patients needs are met.

Sep 25, 2013

Great doctor, my husband and I are sorry to hear your associate Dr. Angela TeKippe is leaving. She is wonderful, kind, makes u feel very comfortable.

Sep 23, 2013

love it when I don't have to spend my entire time at the doctors office. thank you for making it quick! I have always like coming to this office. the employees there are always so nice and helpful.

Sep 16, 2013

Dr. Angie was terrific - she's very focused on explaining your results and identifying potential improvements to your vision. I appreciated the extra time she spent with me to talk about reading glasses or possible upgrades to my contacts. Would highly recommend her to friends.

Aug 30, 2013

Good!

Aug 16, 2013

excellent

Aug 13, 2013

Couldn't be better

Aug 13, 2013

Great place, love Dr. Wilkens :-)

Aug 10, 2013

I thought the exam went fine the added cost of seeing the eyemapping was a little much. $40 extra dollars for less than 3 minutes of viewing was a stiff price to pay. I think $5-$10 dollars would be more appropriate. This gouging will probably effect my decision to use your services in the future. Weekend services could improve your business. Serve the public and not yourself.

Aug 7, 2013

Dr. Wilkens is always a delight to see. :D She was EXTREMELY accomodating considering my husband and I read our "reminder cards" as appointment cards! She squeezed us in and it didn't even phase her. Thanks again for understanding our mistake and making room for us in your schedule. :D

Aug 5, 2013

Everything is great. Very kind, friendly and fast

Aug 4, 2013

My eye exam was a very pleasant experience. Dr. Wilkins was, as always, thorough, professional, courteous and friendly. I would recommend her to anyone and would not consider going anywhere else for an eye exam. I have complete confidence in her expertise.

Jul 24, 2013

was on time, knew what they were doing, and I did not have to have any eye drops put in.

Jul 24, 2013

she was great , i enjoyseeing her year after year - dependable

Jul 22, 2013

Dr. Wilkens is very professional and also personable. She answers all questions and truly cares about her patients!

Jul 6, 2013

Very informative of questions asked and most caring of me as a patient This applies to Doctor as well as staff Thank you for a pleasant visit

Jun 29, 2013

Very pleased with my experience. Did a through exam and spent time with me to get contacts that worked best for me.

Jun 28, 2013

Jun 28, 2013

Excellent Service with no wait - I was in and out and Dr. Wilkens provided great answer to any and all my questions.

Jun 24, 2013

Everything went smooth from setting the appointment to getting the exam, and had all my questions answered promptly and professionally

Jun 24, 2013

Dr. Wilkens is professional and knowledgeable. She provides a quality experience. I recently switched my children to her for eye care, because she provided better services to them than the pediatric eye doctor.

Jun 18, 2013

The doctor was caring and friendly, yet professional. The exam was very thorough with impressive equipment for eye tests. I left feeling confident with the results and prescription.

Jun 11, 2013

I felt like a had a thorough and informative exam. Everything was explained to my satisfaction in an efficient and professional way.

Jun 11, 2013

My review is excellent, since the moment I came in to the moment I came out the doctor the receptionist, the ladies, that help me and my brother in law, were very nice and very kind, helpful. My experience in your clinic was wonderful, perfect and defenetly I would recomend to anyone to go there.

Jun 5, 2013

Very good service and worked with my daughter very well for her first eye exam!

May 8, 2013

Very nice

May 4, 2013

Our dr.(Dr. T) was very thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly!

Apr 25, 2013

The doctor did a competent and thorough job, however I was very unhappy with the business of the practice. A benefit check prior to my arrival would have confirmed benefits. The solution to have me pay out of pocket rather than "risking" no benefit coverage was insulting and poor business practice.

Apr 24, 2013

Very professional and courteous.

Apr 24, 2013

PERFECT

Apr 22, 2013

My experience with Dr.Wilkens was great. She was very helpful and I was in and out of my appointment in around 15 minutes.

Apr 17, 2013

Professional, courteous, quick, and diligent.

Apr 16, 2013

Their services were average, and they didn't accept Medicaid or Medicare.

Apr 14, 2013

I had a great experience. Dr. Wilkens was very helpful, took care of me and answered all my questions. I'd definitely recommend her to others.

Apr 9, 2013

she was vary helpfull,and for the first tme ever an eye doctor was not rude to her because of my bad eyes.

Apr 1, 2013

Erin is my neice, what do expect me to say? If I say anything bad she might poison my Easter dinner. Really, she did a great job and is really thorough. Pearle is lucky to have her.

Mar 28, 2013

I thought the staff was excellent. professional Curtis and very helpful. I was lucky someone had cancelled and they let me take their place. Great staff great experience. They doctor did a great job of explaining everything.

Mar 27, 2013

This was my first visit with Pearle Vision and I was very pleased. They did an excellent job in doing my exam and explaining things to me. I felt they did a real thorough exam.

Mar 24, 2013

Feb 26, 2013

Dr. Wilkens and her staff were great!

Feb 18, 2013

We had a great experience. I should have, however, had the dialation done then. Oh well, I'll have it done when we come back & pick up our glasses.

Feb 16, 2013

Very good service thanks

Feb 9, 2013

I have always had a pleasant, friendly experience.

Dr. Wilkens was great. She explained everything and was very knowledgeable Thank you and your office staff for getting me in and out fast.

Jan 29, 2013

Very friendly people

Jan 24, 2013

My eye exam with Dr. Tekippe always goes smoothly. She is knowledgable and friendly. I recall a time when a new version of soft lenses with silicone hydrogel weren't agreeing with my eyes and she recommened a different type and that solved the issue right away. I can see her on the weekend which is convenient so I don't have to use my vacation time. She laughs at my jokes even if they are not funny, but they usually are. This is nice to have that rapport because I saw an optometrist at Merle Hay Mall for 15 years until he retired. He recommended Dr. Tekippe and I am very glad he did.

Jan 24, 2013

very good.

Jan 18, 2013

The office of Dr. Erin WIlkens is very professional yet friendly. Charlene and Dr Wilkens truly care about the well being of their patients eye sight and overall well being. I have been a patient for several years as well as my family. I would definitely recommend their office to anyone who is looking for a knowledgable and caring eye doctor.

Jan 18, 2013

Dr Wilkins is kind, caring, considerate and my whole family enjoys meeting with her every year for our eye exams.

Jan 14, 2013

Great experience.

Jan 12, 2013

Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Plus the hours and online scheduling are very convenient.

Jan 12, 2013

Friendly and thorough staff. In and out in less than 30 minutes!

Jan 11, 2013

Erin and/or team have cared for my eyes for several years now. Nothing but good to say.

Jan 11, 2013

It was a good experience as before and I was in and out in a good time. Very pleased
