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!

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!

The kindness and patience Dr. Nilsons practice provides is exceptional. Every step of the way they make you feel like you matter! (Not just another number) very happy I found them. I had Dr. Stacy, he was very knowledgeable in my concerns with astigmatism and cataract.

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

Mar 2, 2019

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

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

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!

I look forward to my yearly eye appointment with Dr. Perryand all the staff. They make me feel so special. I had fun with Denise and Jordan. All the staff is so professional. 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.

Oct 8, 2018

Thorough exam, very busy, did not appreciate being ushered into eyewear area when I indicated I would be shipping around first nor having an appointment orescheduled for next year.

Oct 8, 2018

Alexandra is very professional and keeps the customer informed regarding their optical health and what practices are needed to enhance eye care.

Oct 7, 2018

Great professional & personal care. We have had Dr Eric as our sole doctor for over 15 years. Never disappointed. He's keeping a good watch over our family's eyes. We have full confidence in him.

Oct 6, 2018

Got me in and out quickly, Dr. Was thorough. I'd recommend this center.

Oct 5, 2018

I have most often been taken in on time. Rarely is there any wait. I am in/out. Examinations are thorough and explained.

Oct 5, 2018

The staff is amazing; I have been fitted for contacts that work perfectly. My glasses are always well made and durable. If I have any issues or concerns, they are always dealt with. I never have an issue here. Thank you!

Oct 5, 2018

Dr. A. Nilsen is the best doctor a patient could ask for. Her bedside manner, knowledge and caring spirit make her the best in my book.

Oct 4, 2018

Overall I rated the office very good. It is not higher due to the Front desk Personnel was discussing other patients information and making negative comments about them in front of other patients. What did they say about me when I left?

Oct 4, 2018

LOVED my first time experience with them. Every staff member I came in contact with welcomed me. They had me back before I could even sit down. I didn't have to wait any amount of time to see the doctor. It was a very good experience.

Oct 4, 2018

What a wonderful experience. Everyone was kind and attentive. They scheduled my appointment the same day and the doctors and staff were thorough and interested in my concerns. I was also pleased to know that they offer optical service as well. Pricing and selection was top notch and I felt the quality of the products offered , especially lens crafting, is superior to the big chains. Overall, I'm very pleased with Nielsen Eye Care

Oct 3, 2018

My wife and I started using Nilsen Eye Care many years ago. We had a very positive experience then and that continues to this day. The staff and doctors are very personable and customer oriented. On the very rare occasions I have had an issue with glasses purchased through Nilsen, they have bent over backwards to ensure I have been happy with my purchase. I highly recommend them.

Oct 1, 2018

Friendly, helpful, professional, knowledgeable, affordable

Oct 1, 2018

Techs were great, Dr. Stacy was very attentive and answered all my questions. He suggested a new contact brand since mine were drying my eyes out and so far so good.

Great staff!!! Excellent service once again

Sep 27, 2018

As a new patient, I appreciated the amount of time all of the staff took with me to learn my health history and previous issues with my eyes. I don't remember ever having such a thorough exam.

Sep 27, 2018

We love the staff. They are so friendly and helpful and do a wonderful job communicating what our options are. They make you feel like they are really looking out for your best interest. It is great!

Sep 26, 2018

Good eye health is something that I do not take for granted, especially at my age (64). When I leave the office after my exam, I feel very confident in the results of the exam and if there was a problem or eye health issue, it would be detected and properly dealt with.

Sep 26, 2018

Thank you to Dr. Craig Perry, Denise, Alycia and Charley for providing great service! I am a new patient, and I had the best experience!

Sep 12, 2018

From the minute you arrive to when you leave, the friendliness and customer service are excellent. I was especially surprised at the amount of time Dr. Stacy took with me. He was extremely thorough in looking into an issue and then explaining it to me in terms I could understand. Then, Alfred and Patti were super-helpful in frame selection. I have never had such a positive experience with eye care. Every single person I interacted with was friendly and concerned about my comfort...and it wasn't fake friendliness. These people really love what they do where they do it, and it shows.

Sep 11, 2018

Very helpful and friendly staff. I didn’t feel rushed when I asked the doctor questions during my exam.

While we grow older we want our eyes to get better or at lease stay the same and my record shows the BEST eye care, IM GETTING BETTER WITH TIME. The best staff ever, and the décor is lovely.

Sep 6, 2018

A very pleasant experience!

Sep 2, 2018

I have been going to Dr Nielsen for a number of years and have always been extremely pleased. Dr Nielsen is very professional but takes time to address all of my questions and concerns. His exams are thorough and tailored to my needs. He is prompt and takes me at the appointment time. His staff is warm friendly helpful and knowledgeable. I would not consider going anywhere else for my optometry needs and highly recommend him.

Review: "I'm quite impressed with the friendly and professional staff at Nilsen. All of my interaction, whether via phone, email or in person, is very courteous. The medical care is outstanding and my visits seamless." Personal note to staff: Sadly, in spite of my rave review, I will need to cancel my appointment next year as I will live in a completely different part of the Richmond area at that time and will need to find another Optometrist office. Thank you again!

Aug 2, 2018

What a great Eye Care Provider. My partner and I have both been going to Nilsen Eye Care for as long as they have been opened. We had followed them there as we were so impressed with DRs. Eric and Alexandra Nilsen at their former practice. The instill the greatest of confidence through their caring and professional attitude.

This year I saw Dr. Stacy for my annual eye exam and contact lens fitting and I had the best appointment in comparison to the past 4 or 5 years going there! I highly recommend him and plan to start seeing him at Nilsen Eye! His assistant also was very nice, answered all my questions, and explained things to me very well. Dr. Stacy also took his time with me, answered all of my questions in detail and ensured I had everything I needed before leaving. Most importantly he and his staff did not make me feel pressured to buy my contacts and new prescription lens and/or frames in their office and respected my decision to shop around. Thank you so much Dr. Stacy and his staff!

May 26, 2018

Excellent service from the time I checked in to the time I left. I was taken on time and received a thorough exam. Dr. Stacy quickly realized I had a serious issue with which he took the time to explain and make an appropriate referral. I highly recommend this practice!

Apr 7, 2018

The Nilsen Eye Service is absolutely the best experience anyone could have. What a group of friendly, efficient professionals who work at the Nilsens Eye Service. Have been going to Dr. Alexandra Nilsen since she and her husband opened the practice. The professionalism is absolutely the best. She detected my cataracts in such a timely fashion; found an issue with the start of my maccular degeneration and through treatment able to prevent it from continuing; and a severe dry eye issue became a non issue with the treatment she recommended. The Opticians who work there are super in finding just the right frames for you and getting them completed in a timely manner. The free adjustments to frames and glasses mean so much. You could not find very professional friendly service in any other business of its kind.

Apr 6, 2018

Most thorough eye exam I have ever had. Conducted by friendly caring staff!

Apr 6, 2018

Very friendly, relaxing office.

Apr 5, 2018

And they were able to see me very quickly afterwards.

Apr 4, 2018

This was my first visit here, and I was very impressed by the attention and treatment I received. It was well beyond my expectation and I would highly recommend to anyone.

Apr 3, 2018

To walk into an office 20 minutes before they close with an emergency and be treated with such welcoming is a true asset to your practice.

Apr 3, 2018

Awesome as always , pleasant experience worth the 30 minute drive

Apr 3, 2018

Everyone is professional and courteous.

Apr 2, 2018

Feb 28, 2018

I came in for my regular eye exam when leaving turned into a medical specialist appointment. instead of my $10.00 co pay it was $50.00 co pay which i was not expecting to pay. I will not be coming back never and will let my other friends know that come there as well. I have call Cigna to dispute the exam I hope you do not get paid as well. the desk staff tried to tell me i came in for a medical issue not I did not my exam is every year the same time for years. The desk staff was shown my vision card as well and when I started to look at glasses I was told by the staff i did not have insurance which was wrong. I will put it out there on social media as well how I was treated on Monday the 26th.

Feb 13, 2018

I was disappointed that i was not informed of a $25 "training fee" for contacts. Especially when i inquired about the exam co-pay and how much the difference would be opposed to the regular exam for glasses. It was for my daughter and I was even asked if this was her first time ever being fitted for contacts.
