Staff was very friendly and courteous with our 5-year-old's first eye appointment

Dec 1, 2019

Dr. (Eric) Nilsen is so friendly and helpful. He never makes me feel rushed and he always looks out for my entire family.

Nov 29, 2019

I have never had a bad experience at Nilsen eye care, everyone is so helpful and knowledgeable. I have been going to them for years, definitely recommend them highly.

Nov 25, 2019

Greeted warmly. Attended to promptly. Clear communication. Comfortable seating. Been a satisfied customer for 9 years and looking forward to many more.

Nov 24, 2019

This is one of he most efficient doctor's office I have ever experienced. Yet they do not lose the personal touch. They listen.

Nov 23, 2019

Excellent folks from front end to back end. Shannon was EXCELLENT and very patient during my contact lens training.

Nov 23, 2019

Dr. Nilsen is thorough and takes the time necessary to ensure that information is understood and her chairside manner is excellent.

Nov 21, 2019

If you're looking for skilled and attentive, personal attention for both your examinations and eyewear selections, Nilsen is likely your kind of place. And this includes recommendations to supporting facilities that are also excellent.

Nov 15, 2019

Always personable. I have seldom had to take a seat as I am taken in for exam upon arrival. All questions are answered. Patient input is always invited.

Nov 15, 2019

Best staff of any doctors office I’ve ever been in! Friendly, helpful and prompt. Never a wait. Dr. Perry is also very personable and very thorough. He explains things well and I never feel rushed. I highly recommend this office!

Nov 15, 2019

Very professional and proficient.

Nov 15, 2019

Fantastic staff and doctor second time none. They were there when I needed them most; extremely appreciative.

Nov 14, 2019

Dr Tony very warm, professional and caring!

Nov 9, 2019

Dr. Eric, and all staff members listen and answer questions from the time of entry into the office until making final payment and leaving with the next appointment in hand...professional and caring treatment is the norm...thoroughly qualified and connected with other doctors who may be needed as referrals, and all have positive and supportive attitudes. The office team works smoothly and efficiently with patients and each other. I've been a patient here for a long time, and highly recommend the doctors and staff to anyone at any age for eye care needs and services.

Nov 8, 2019

Very professional, knowledgeable

Nov 7, 2019

I love this office, all of the employees are knowledgeable, friendly and most of all appreciative of your business. They make you their priority and do not rush the process, from check in to check out. I received an eye exam, retinal scan, was fitted and picked out frames for my new glasses in one visit. I have referred all of my family and friends to Nilsen Eye Care and will continue to do so.

Nov 4, 2019

Dr. Perry is thorough & really listens.

Nov 4, 2019

It was ok, Doctor and assistant were good. The front staff seemed to spend more time laughing and talking than taking care of client . The optician (blonde lady) that came to my room to show me glasses seemed annoyed that I said I had an event to get to and would come back another day and purchase eyes after my husband had his exam (which is currently not scheduled) When making the appointment over the phone I also stated I would be in a rush for time and would come back.. I understand she would not know this but when telling her this she seemed irritated. She also stated I needed reading glasses and made a somewhat big deal about really needing them when the physician stated my eyes are fine with drug store readers at +150. As an optician myself from years back, I can read my prescription. My experience was overall ok but the ending with this staff member was a bit odd. Would I make an appointment for my husband and we come back together to get glasses, yes probably.

Nov 4, 2019

Thank you for being so kind and passionate about your work.

Nov 1, 2019

Great service, but every time my wife and I get fitted for contacts they are"on back order." Have been waiting 10 days for this one with no ETA. Fantastic staff, just takes too long to get contacts

Oct 28, 2019

Great and friendly people

Oct 26, 2019

Every aspect of my annual eye exam was handled efficiently, professionally, and in a very friendly manner.

Oct 26, 2019

Dr. Nilsen and his staff are always excellent. If you don’t have an “eye guy” make sure you visit them soon.

Oct 24, 2019

Very kind, thorough, and professional. I left feeling well cared for.

Oct 24, 2019

From the minute you walk through the door, you get 5 star service. Every employee from the receptionist to the doctor provides exceptional service. I hate going to all doctor appointments but this place does it the way it should be done. They are professional, courteous, knowledgeable and on their A-game. They are very well managed and it flows from the top down. I unhesitatingly recommend them, knowing you will have a pleasant experience.

Oct 23, 2019

Everyone was extremely helpful and I was able to be seen the next day after my glasses were broken.

Oct 21, 2019

I was particularly pleased with how both the medical assistant and the doctor explained the purpose of different tests, my results, and how my eyes have changed since my last prescription. All of my questions were answered and I left feeling confident about the plan for my eye health.

Oct 20, 2019

I was blown away by the entire staffs friendly, prompt, and courteous service throughout the entire appointment. Everyone was very knowledgeable answering all of my questions quickly while explaining it in a way I could easily understand.

Oct 13, 2019

I have been going to Dr Nilsen for 20+ years. He is the best.

Oct 13, 2019

The eye exam experience was good. A lot of had offs for office efficiency. I would come back for eye exam. I was amazed by the pricing. Way too expensive. I would not buy glasses from them. Since the price was so high I lost trust in the sales people. I would recommend to friends not to consider them for purchasing glasses. Also the selection of frames was poor.

Oct 12, 2019

I called for an emergency appt mid-morning and my situation was addressed immediately with a noon appt the same day.

Oct 10, 2019

Friendly and makes you feel like part of their family

Doctor Nielsen is wonderful very thorough professional and a little funny too. The only doctor I look forward to visiting. His staff is great too

Oct 7, 2019

I’ve been seeing Alexandra Nilsen for years, and I have never been so confident in my eye doctor. I always feel like everyone in the office takes the time to listen to me and help me with any questions or prescriptions. I have had amazing help picking out frames. The lenses in my frames are phenomenal. Every time I walk in the office I have a great conversation. I truly don’t mind going in for an eye doctor appointment because not only is everyone nice, but everyone is so knowledgeable in the eye industry.

Oct 5, 2019

Everyone always friendly and professional.

Oct 4, 2019

I am 27 now and have been seeing the Nilsen's since I was 9 years old. They have treated my entire family like one of their own through out the years. I had been to a few other optometrists in between visits and always felt like they came up short and I end up coming back to the Nilsens to get my prescription done the RIGHT WAY. Their staff is professional and kind and always pay attention to detail. It can be hard to find medical professionals that you can trust when there are so many out there to choose from. Nilsen Eyecare is the only place I have felt comfortable and confident in over the years.

Oct 4, 2019

I have recommended your practice to many friends

I was treated like family from the time I walked in the door until I left. Dr. Nielsen and staff are the best. I would recommend Dr Nielsen practice to everyone looking for a good eye doctor.

Sep 29, 2019

From the front desk through all testing, and Dr. Alexander Nilsen’s perfect bedside manner, I couldn’t have a more perfect experience.

Sep 29, 2019

I love my visits with Dr Alexandra. I've been going to optometrists for decades and she's honestly the first one that I feel really listens and gives advice on eye care. She cares about her patients which can be a hard thing to find.

Sep 28, 2019

Everyone is so friendly and I never have to wait!! I feel like I get the best exam every time I go. All questions get answered and they do not rush you through.

Aug 30, 2019

Nilsen Eye Care consistently provides comprehensive care services, all while being compassionate, friendly, and warm. Appointments with this practice are never a "chore", and I always feel like a valued partner when I'm there (not just another patient to move through the assembly line). Dr. Alexandra Nilsen has provided excellent care and counseling to me for years now, and I can't imagine going to anyone else. Highly recommend this practice for your entire family. In fact, I've referred several people here, and everyone provides consistent positive feedback.

Aug 29, 2019

Most excellent and friendly group of people!

Aug 29, 2019

I've been going to Nilsen eye care since Dr. Eric opened his doors about a decade ago. I would not dream of going anywhere else. He is so knowledgeable, So professional, so thorough and so very positive. The entire office is such a joy to interact with.

Aug 29, 2019

On time and very friendly. Very willing to listen to my questions

Aug 28, 2019

The optometrist made a personal phone call to me to tell me the results of my eye scan at Virginia eye Institute and gave me her recommendations. It was service above and beyond the call of duty and I think her for it.

Aug 24, 2019

Patient for about 18 years now. Dr. Nilsen and his staff are top-notch. They are always professional, personable and their expertise is above reproach. Our whole family has been very happy with this practice for many years. Highly recommended!

Aug 23, 2019

Would be happier with 60 minutes or less with total appointment. Over an hour for a regular yearly exam is too long.

Aug 23, 2019

Everyone was very nice and helpful lots of people working so no waiting gave me more Options Then other eye doctors so it was a real good experience

Aug 23, 2019

Always smiling faces. So nice to see a business that takes care of their employee's as well as their customers. Outstanding practice.

Aug 22, 2019

Denise, the optical tech, was amazing. She was a very patient teacher. While I was unable to be successful with contact insertion and removal ,she was very supportive in all my attempts to learn contact wear.

Aug 21, 2019

Aug 17, 2019

I have had nothing but positive visits. Everyone is friendly and quick to get you checked in and through the entire visit.

Aug 15, 2019

The people at Nilsen Eye Care are always so welcoming, professional, and helpful in every aspect of my visit. Checking in is pleasant, Dr. Perry is always great to talk to and he is very thorough, then checking out is great as they always double check my insurance and ask how I prefer to use my benefits, figuring out how best to benefit me! I wear both contacts and glasses, so I have to plan well and they help me every step of the way.

Aug 12, 2019

Every staff member in this office is so pleasant and professional. I was taken back immediately. The tech and Dr. A Nilsen took time to explain each step and why/what was being done. Highly recommend!

Aug 1, 2019

I have never had an eye exam at my age of 52! WOW! I am so glad that I chose this practice. Everyone was so nice and professional. I felt very comfortable and informed. Michele was especially so nice and reassuring, and I can not say enough about Jennifer in the eyeglass department. She made my nerves settle right on down and was absolutely THE best in helping me pick out my glasses. I would recommend this practice to everyone! Keep up the great work guys and you all will continue to go far!!! Thank you all so much!!! TJ Day

Jul 27, 2019

Everyone here is so friendly and professional! Dr. Nilsen takes an interest in his patient's lives and even if he sees them once a year, he still remembers and is eager to chat. Alfred helped me pick out a new pair of glasses and gave great, honest feedback about each pair and how they looked. I know a lot of people have anxiety going to see an optometrist, but I always look forward to my appointments here.

Jul 26, 2019

I know I'm a tough patient, and Dr. Nilsen has taken extra time to listen to me with excellent "bedside" manner. It has been much appreciated. T.O.

My husband and I both see Dr. Perry and love his mannerisms. He is an excellent doctor! The staff is very friendly and I never have to wait. Before I can get checked in someone is there waiting for me to go back to start the examination.

Apr 17, 2019

I love Nilsen - we switched from Virginia Eye and it was the absolute best decision ever. We get amazing service and the people are wonderful to work with - I highly recommend them.

Apr 17, 2019

No waiting time. My doctor is very helpful and patient. The optician was also right there ready to help with lens and frame selection! Lots of frames to choose from.

Apr 13, 2019

I wish I had found this place years ago.Everyone was so friendly courteous and very professional .

Apr 12, 2019

Everyone was very helpful and pleasant. They even replaced the nose pads on my glasses. I didn't realize how loose they were until I had the new ones. The doctor did a good job of explaining everything and answering questions.

Apr 12, 2019

Nicest group of people!!! So friendly...

My regular eye doctor was not open, and this practice saw me as a new patient for an emergency. The front office staff were great and Dr. Nilsen was very thorough. I really appreciate that they saw me so quickly and would definitely consider this practice if I didn’t already have a 25 year relationship with my current practice.

Apr 1, 2019

My family and I have been coming here since 2013. We have moved several times since then however we love the staff here so much that we have never gone to another eye doctor. To us they are worth the time and drive to get there.

Mar 31, 2019

Take plenty of time with each patient. Very knowledgeable and thorough. Good system using ancillary assistants.

Mar 21, 2019

Most thorough eye exam I have ever experienced. Trust Dr. Nilsen to get it right!

Mar 21, 2019

I had a very pleasant experience going to get my first eye exam of my adult life. I was greeted by friendly faces all around, and every person I interacted with in the office was very inviting and professional. Dr. Stacy was very knowledgeable and explained things to me in a way that somebody with zero knowledge of the subject could understand. He was very patient with what I would think are stupid questions and always gave me clear, elaborated answers. The entire process from start to finish was painless and stress-free, even though I was a bit scared going into it. I've already scheduled my appointment for next year, and I can't wait until I can try on my new glasses when they come In soon!

Mar 21, 2019

Everyone is always so friendly and helpful!

Mar 21, 2019

Everything done with total professionalism

Mar 20, 2019

I didn't realize how bad my previous eye doctor appointments had been until I came to Nilson Eye Center. After a frustrating experience with my previous eye doctor, I started looking for a new provider and I'm so grateful that I found Nilson. Dr. Nilson explained everything to me, helped me to understand what was going on with my vision, and came up with a plan to help improve my long distance vision without affecting my short distance vision. I'll be a patient here for years to come!

Mar 20, 2019

Been using Nilsen for years. they are great, fast and I am happy with my contacts. Fit and testing were easy and fast. thanks much,

Mar 12, 2019

Jaylen is my daughter and often has trouble making up her mind about things. She must of spent at least an hour trying on glasses and couldn't make a decision. Cara, the lady helping us was more than patient Jaylen. She was more patient than myself! Finally, she was able zoom in on exactly what is was Jaylen wanted and pulled them from the storage room. They will definitely make sure you are happy with your glasses no matter how long it takes to find the perfect ones!

Mar 11, 2019

Mar 4, 2019

#1 in every possible way. Impossible to find a better, more caring, and knowledgable eye care specialist. A pleasure and privilege to have their care and expertise... for the past several decades. Would never consider anyone else; and have made many recommendations to friends and family; all of whom have been as pleased and well cared for. Simply the BEST!

Mar 3, 2019

Friendly and professional staff. Comfortable clean environment with plenty of help and convenient for repairs, fit or order new glasses at decent competitive prices

Dr. Alexandra Nilsen was extremely through and knowledgeable. She made me feel very comfortable. Her ability to put in eye drops so I did not blink so much was amazing. Loved that. Her assistant Denise, walked me through everything that was taking place. She was very kind and took time to answer my questions.

Mar 1, 2019

Always very friendly and courteous.

Feb 28, 2019

Great organization of competent, efficient, and caring doctors and staff...it's like "coming home" to share the time with all of you. I'm impressed with the continuing evolution of facilities too. I have to try out Commonwealth Eye Care Associates for a few weeks or more now since you don't remove cataracts yourselves - but - "I'll be back"!

Feb 28, 2019

Friendly professional atmosphere

Feb 28, 2019

Dr. Perry is always focused, answers my questions and does not appear hurried when meeting with me, I am his #1 priority when my eye health and vision is being evaluated. He is professional but personal. He does not waste my time or his during our encounters. I am very grateful to have such a knowledgeable and competent person providing the excellent care I receive.

Feb 7, 2019

This was the most caring and professional group of people I've seen in the medical field, hands down.

Feb 4, 2019

My optometrist was excellent and very knowledgeable. We came up with a plan for my vision problems that wouldn't cause me to break the bank .

Jan 31, 2019

I have been a patient for many years. I wouldn’t go anywhere else

Jan 26, 2019

The words to describe the staff here are far too many ! My husband and I were here for an exam and to get our new glasses and during that time we discussed a personal reason that we may have to leave . Well that call came in just as we were picking our new glasses . The staff rushed us out to take care of our family , without worrying whether or not we were done or paying for what we had already completed in our visit . And when we returned we were greeted , hugged and welcomed back with smiles and compassion to the circumstances of a passing family member . We finished our visit and Cara spent a very long time making sure we were satisfied fully . When we got home that day , we also received a card in the mail from the entire staff . If you go anywhere else , DON’T !! I know we won’t !!

Jan 24, 2019

Went there with my toddler. Staff was very attentive since we had two appointments; one for me and one for my toddler. It was a great experience.

Jan 23, 2019

I have always been taken in on time for an appointment and seen an associate to buy glasses, let alone great care from Dr. Nilsen!

Jan 21, 2019

Very professional and service-oriented staff. After using this practice, I would not go anywhere else.

It was my first visit to Nilsen and it was a good experience. I felt that the Dr was very thorough. The Dr and the staff were very courteous and helpful

Jan 10, 2019

I don’t have an eye doctor I go to yearly, but rather go to whomever whenever and wherever I want. These guys might have changed my mind!

Jan 9, 2019

The customer service was incredible

Jan 9, 2019

Best eye doc office in the area! They have perfected the art of customer service!

Jan 7, 2019

I higly recommend Dr. Eric and all his staff. Dr. Eric works with you until you have the best vision available. It is a very happy experience there!

Jan 7, 2019

You were never able to fit my daughter with contacts and sent her home with some to try that didn’t work. After over 3.5 hours of time there, I would expect professionals to be able to fit my daughter for contacts. Staff was in and out and in and out. Staff changed in and out. I understand there are other patients, but we expected undivided attention once we were seen.

Jan 5, 2019

I received a warm greeting as soon as I walked in the door. The provider took time to listen and make sure that I understood my test results and gave me ample time to ask questions and did not rush me through the visit. I was very impressed by my first time experience here. All of the staff went over and beyond to create a great patient experience. They have a patient for life.

Jan 4, 2019

The staff are very friendly, Dr. Nilsen is very willing to work with me to help solve my vision problems, and there is very little waiting!

Jan 4, 2019

From the moment you walk in, the friendly folks at Nilsen Eye Care greet you by name and they often inquire about the details of your family. They actually remember you and are a part of your life! Then, of course, they proceed to provide the same type of experience in caring for your eyes. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Dec 31, 2018

They answer all of my questions no matter how many times I may ask. Nilsen work with me to make sure that I can get the glasses that I need. I am going to tell all of my co-workers about the Nilsen Eye Care. Thank each of you for all of the support and kindness.

Dec 28, 2018

why can't you get all the things/test that was needed done on the same visit? always seeme we have to reschedel a nother visit a couple weeks later that causes more timeoff / more fees to our insurance company and out of pocket exspenses. JGW

Dec 24, 2018

This was my first time at Nilsen’s Eye Care and my experience was wonderful. The staff and the doctors are very nice and professional. They take their time asking questions to make sure they fully understand your prior eye care experiences and make sure you leave satisfied.

Dec 24, 2018

They really take their time with us. I never felt rushed and they providers really listen to our concerns or any questions I may have.

Dec 18, 2018

David (?) was EXCELLENT!! I don't like ANYTHING near my eyes. Instead of trying to pry my eyes open to put the drops in, he had me just close my eyes then he put the drops in & I just had to blink. Genius!!

Dec 10, 2018

We recently relocated to the area and were referred to Nilsen Eye Care. Very grateful to have found Dr. Stacy and such a good practice. Everyone was very kind and professional.

Dec 7, 2018

Staff is very caring,super nice.

Dec 5, 2018

Outstanding service from the time I entered the building, checked in, did initial testing, complete examination by Dr and through check out. Thank you, thank you

Dec 1, 2018

The doctors at Nilsen are all great, they helped me out during an optometric emergency a great deal. They clearly explained the injury I suffered and discussed all the treatment options before moving forward. It's the best experience I've had with an optometrist in the Richmond area.

Nov 29, 2018

They were on time and efficient.

Nov 28, 2018

The associates did not know my benefits. As a result, I had to pay for services that should have been submitted to the carrier. In addition i was quoted the wrong benefit for frames and lenses. This was quite different than prior service.

Nov 23, 2018

Great service and a great place. People very friendly too

Nov 23, 2018

Fast service. Very friendly. Expert advice. Great contacts. Thanks much

Nov 23, 2018

Having been seeing since being in Virginia - over 20 years. Consistently the same great service, always available for follow-up, staff friendly and helpful, products have always exceeded my expectations. I wear both glasses and contacts that address a special eye need.

Nov 23, 2018

I've been seeing Dr. Nilsen for at least 12-15 years. He has always taken the best care of my eyes. One of my eyes is shaped weird (not the medical term) lol....but he worked many hours with me to figure out why I wasn't seeing correctly. He will always be sure everything is right for the patient. Not just his business. Plus, he is a really super nice guy!

Nov 19, 2018

Very professional, explains every step of the process. The entire staff goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable.

Nov 19, 2018

Excellent customer service. Very caring and thorough.

Nov 18, 2018

Exam was prompt, thorough, and professional. There was time to address any concerns.

Nov 18, 2018

Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Thank You

Nov 18, 2018

Have been with Nilsen Eye Care for many years. Was impressed with their entire staff from check-in through testing and eye glasses selection. Warm and friendly people. Eye sight testing was of an understanding nature and not so clinical. Very pleased all these years.

Nov 16, 2018

Efficient and friendly. The office is well organized. As you go from one station to the next they have a system to indicate to the staff who is there and what is happening next. Everyone really seems to like working there and is glad you chose their practice.

Nov 16, 2018

Dr. Nilsen is awesome, friendly and thorough; staff is great too.

Nov 16, 2018

Office is very friendly and efficient. I got there a half hour early and was taken right away, talk about fast service !

Nov 14, 2018

This was my husband's and my first time coming to Nelson Eye Care. It was one of our best experience. The staff is AWESOME! Helpful caring and just plain wonderful. I will be telling all my friends who need an eye Dr. to come here.

Nov 12, 2018

The associates were very friendly and really helpful and the doctor

Nov 12, 2018

I found every member of staff I came in contact with excellent. Also everyone was very helpful,kind and polite.

Nov 11, 2018

Totally satisfied with Dr Nilsen and all staff. Everyone was courteous and competent.

Nov 9, 2018

I arrived 15 minutes early for my appointment as instructed. It took less than 5 minutes to get checked in (as a brand new patient)! I expected to wait a little bit, but someone was waiting on me to get checked in and immediately took me back. The exam was quick and easy. Dr. Stacy took his time and made sure I had no questions about anything when I left. He listened to my concerns with my current glasses and instructed the staff member who assisted me with finding glasses to be sure we found a pair that were comfortable and fit correctly. All of my insurance information was pulled while I was looking at the glasses so that I knew exactly what I was working with. I was not pressured into buying the most expensive pair and, in fact, we ruled out the most expensive pair first as they didn't look great on. I was in and out in under an hour! I am really pleased and i'm excited to have found my new eye doctor!

Nov 7, 2018

This is my second annual eye exam and I have to say the office is absolutely amazing. Anytime I hear someone say they are looking for a eye doctor I don't hesitate to suggest this practice.

Nov 6, 2018

Great got needed care and 2 valuable glasses. Would recommend Nilsen's. Good service. Very professional. Will use them in the future.

Nov 5, 2018

Dr. Nilsen is Awesome. I love her professionalism and energetic attitude. Bobby is a sweetheart at the front desk. Her smile makes you smile.

Nov 5, 2018

Prompt and professional service.

Nov 5, 2018

Nov 2, 2018

The staff is always great. The visits are always pleasant.

Oct 31, 2018

It’s rare these days to go to a place of business where everyone seems happy and genuinely cares and wants to help you. I liked the friendliness and upbeat staff and professionalism of the technicians and doctor. Overall just a fantastic experience.

Outstanding as usual. No issues smooth and easy

Oct 22, 2018
