I moved from the Rush Eye Center to Northcenter Eye Care last year. Great decision! The service and helpfulness and experience of the staff far outweighs what I experienced at Rush.

Great care with Dr Liz and the staff was friendly checking me in, doing the quick exams and helping me pick out frames (despite my own pickiness and hesitancy during the latter)

North Center Eye Care is very professional and friendly. They have a great selection of eyewear and contacts. They remind me of me of my appointment in multiple ways. They made sure I was attended to and patient with me and any question I might have.

I love having an amazing experience that goes above and beyond making the first impression leaving me excited to share with friends and family. The moment I walked in the door I was greeted and felt lucky to be accommated by my very first eye appointment. The front desk person was very helpful by walking me through the steps and getting me scheduled immediately. Timing was good and I completed documentation, pre-assessment and my exam all in one day. There was a great selection of glasses and my order was submitted. Customer service like this is a rare find in today's businesses. It was great!

Dr. Liz is wonderful! She's attentive, friendly, and takes the time needed to get things right.

I have been a patient here for years. Each time I visit I am so relieved that I found an eye care professional that gives a thorough exam and clearly cares about her patient's vision. The frame quality and lens selection always offers the style and choices I am looking for. The staff are great at helping selecting and adjusting the frames for the perfect fit. Thanks again to everyone.

Dr. Liz is awesome! It's refreshing to have a doctor that never seems to be in a rush. She is very attentive and makes you feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs a great eye doctor.

Amazing experience. The optometrist was extremely knowledgeable, patient and efficient. Felt totally comfortable and at ease. Great selection of glasses for any insurance. Will definitely recommend.
Nov 7, 2016
Dr. Laura Blodgett was very attentive, pleasant, clear and concise, albeit firm and forthright. I was not harmed in any way during my eye exam. The selection of frames was ample enough and organized intuitively enough. If I had to wish for a more ideal visit to the optometrist's office on a Saturday morning, I'd go with more leg room in the waiting area. But, I really wasn't there long enough to notice. All in all, a very chill experience.

Northcenter Eye Care is exceptional. I see Dr. Liz and she is always on time and very pleasant! The front desk staff is very knowledgeable and help you with everything from insurance to choosing your new glasses.

Our daughter has autism, so I can be difficult to find care providers who are able to understand her foibles and have the patience and knowledge to get the right prescription and make her comfortable. Dr. Liz and the office team are fantastic! We will never go anywhere else!

I've been going to Northcenter Eye Care for my yearly checkups and have loved the service and attention to detail. Recently I had an emergency, and I was able to get an appointment quickly and felt I got top notch care.
Sep 22, 2016
I had a great experience with Dr. Siegel was awesome. It had been five years since my last exam and he took the time to give me a compete exam and explain what he saw. I am looking forward to seeing him every year to keep my eyes healthy,
Sep 22, 2016
Friendly, thorough, patient, and on time. I'd been having trouble reading with my glasses and contacts, and thought that my eyes were just getting worse. As it turns out, the problem was caused by over correction. I've never had an eye doctor take so much time time to explain something and answer questions before. Love this place.
Sep 19, 2016
Easy to make an appointment, love the Dr and she understands and explains any question that I have. She is awesome, would refer family and friends.
Sep 7, 2016
The office workers were very friendly. The visit started on time, and the doctor was thorough, patient and kind.
Aug 31, 2016
As indicated below when we arrived the entrance and waiting area smelled horribly like a dirty diaper! If it had been my first time there I would not have come back. I strongly urge a remedy to this with some essential oils or something like that to make it more pleasant. Other than that we love you guys and have been with you for years!
Aug 27, 2016
Dr. Liz is so wonderful with my kids! We never feel rushed, she spends time talking with them, and has helped us over the years with any issues. My kids actually look forward to going to the eye doctor!
Aug 20, 2016
Timely and efficient! I appreciate starting an appointment at the actual appointment time and then having the whole process for an annual check up only take about 30 minutes.
Aug 17, 2016
Very good exam, staff was great, selection of frames was good and price more then far .
Aug 16, 2016
Great job as always. Dr Siegel is a true professional and his staff does a very nice job.
Aug 10, 2016
I have been a patient here for almost 20 years. Dr. Liz is amazing and my kids love going to the eye doctor. They provide an exceptional experience and are both professional and personable. I highly recommend this place!
Aug 8, 2016
Good service, friendly staff. They were patient with me when I was asking to break down the costs so I could figure out what options I had financially, though the process was a bit pricier than I was expecting compared to my past experiences with other vision checkups. A positive experience overall however.
Aug 8, 2016
Great experience at Northcenter Eye Care. Doctor Liz listened and is eager to problem solve to find the contact lenses that fit my needs.
Jul 28, 2016
Always a great experience. Dr. Liz is awesome!
Jul 18, 2016
We are still new to the practice but after just two appointments with Dr. Liz we are very happy. She is great with kids and takes the time to throughly explain every aspect of the exam.
Jun 25, 2016
Dr. Liz is fantastic. She treats our entire family and most recently our 5-year old twins for their school evaluations. She is patient, kind and explains everything in a clear manner.
Jun 24, 2016
Excellent service and professionalism
Jun 21, 2016
I truly love the exceptional time and care this facility takes with you. From the checking person to the check out. The Dr always takes his time talking with you about any issues or changes. The exam is thorough. They have a great selection of frames. Parking is easy. Its a very pleasant experience!
Jun 20, 2016
Great appointment. Really felt listened to and un-rushed.
Jun 10, 2016
This is a fantastic office. Dr. Siegel is excellent in every way. And the office staff are all very knowledgeable and helpful. Even though I live far, I would not go anywhere else. It is worth the extra traveling to get such good eye care, and such wonderful treatment from the whole office. I recommend them to everyone I know.
Jun 7, 2016
Once again I have nothing but terrific things to say regarding Northcenter Eye Care. Dr Liz awesome, staff outstanding and would recommend this place to everyone
Jun 7, 2016
I used to go to Dr. Siegel before I left Chicago for college, and I am so glad to be back. After some shady eye doctors in Ann Arbor, Michigan, it is great going to a doctor I trust. Dr. Siegel never tries to push any extra services or purchases, and he wants to make sure you are seeing as good as you can be. He let me try out two pairs of contacts (one with a stronger prescription for seeing farther and one that might be better for working on computers) to see which one worked better for me before I ordered a year's worth. I think the rest of the staff is also super friendly and helpful.
Jun 1, 2016
Very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, punctual and flexible. Always satisfied with my appointments here.
May 30, 2016
I have been a patient of Dr Siegel for about 30 years and I still come all the way in from the northwest suburbs. It is worth the trip. Thanks for servicing my eye care needs.
May 30, 2016
Professional, courteous, answered all questions, appointment time honored and not kept waiting. Impressed with the doctor who performed my eye exam. Staff very helpful picking out glasses and answering questions regarding cost.
May 23, 2016
Incredible job as always by Dr. Liz. She cares a lot about getting the prescription right and doesn't even push new glasses when there have been border line changes in vision. Really cares about your eye health. Appointments are on time and they really respect your time.
May 21, 2016
I was seen at my scheduled time. The waiting area is clean and inviting. The staff appears to be very efficient and capable. The Dr. was thorough and focused.
May 15, 2016
Dr. Elizabeth Saxon-Williams was excellent and very easy to talk with about my eye care. It's great you have a web site where patients can get information and make appointments. Your office staff was excellent. All were friendly and helpful. I felt very comfortable with my visit. Thank you for exceptional eye care. Paul
May 14, 2016
I have always had a great experience going there everybody is always so fast and friendly I would recommend this eye doctor to anyone.

I had been a patient at Northcenter Eye Care for years, but there was a mix-up with my contact lenses. I approved contact lenses and ordered my six moth supply as usual. At some point, someone accidentally put the astigmatism in the incorrect eye so when they arrived they were no the same as the pair I had tested. Not only was I responsible for the cost of half of lenses, I was told I had to pay $55 every time I went back to try to fix the prescription. I also was treated as if I were intentionally causing problems for the staff and doctors at Norhtcenter EyeCare when in fact, all I wanted was to be able to see. Finally, I chose to go to America's Best contacts instead and I received the correct prescription. I was held responsible for their mistake financially and that I was not taken seriously when I said that things were not right. I also find the $55 fee for follow up visits rather punitive. I found that most eye doctors don't do that.
May 3, 2016
Dr. Saxton-Williams is fantastic. She's extremely nice, personable and professional, as is the entire staff of Northcenter Eye Care. I highly recommend it.
Apr 28, 2016
Model Customer Service! You guys should teach other businesses how to treat people. You are amazing and I thank you for not only providing great eye care but really caring about my well being. It is much appreciated. Thank you
Apr 22, 2016
This is a great optometrist prcatice- Dr. Siegel is a real pro
Apr 22, 2016
Dr. Liz is the best! She has the nicest demeanor, plus it never feels like she's rushing me through the eye exam so I always feel confident that my eyes are healthy and my prescription is going to be correct.
Apr 20, 2016
I have had great experience every time I go to north center eye care. Great staff they understand questions that are asked very helpful and knowledgable
Apr 12, 2016
For we with aging eyes, it is very helpful to have a practice to return to where there's a point of reference about you history AND reasonable suggestions and options. Dr. Siegel has always been direct with me and I trust him. The staff was helpful and thorough with my choosing glasses, and gave input on style when asked. All in all, tho hard on the pocketbook, I was given a discount I appreciated AND I know I can get advice if I need it. An excellent place.
Apr 12, 2016
I've always had positive experiences at your office and my most recent experience was no different. I'd recommend anyone to use Northcenter Eye Care.
Apr 10, 2016
I have recommended Dr. Liz to several people. I give "the practice" my highest rating.
Apr 8, 2016
The doctors and staff at Northcenter Eye Care are kind, caring, and professional. Every appointment is quick and efficient. This is the kind of practice you stay with for life, couldn't be happier!
Mar 30, 2016
Excellent treatment, thorough examination, explanation of all aspects of the exam.
Mar 20, 2016
The doctor took the time to explain my options in terms of my eye disease. She was very thorough and discussed the pros and cons of each option. This was my best experience with an eye doctor and I would highly recommend them to anybody searching for an eye doctor!
Mar 15, 2016
Staff is very friendly, we have been going there for years. Love the Doctors.
Mar 9, 2016
The staff was friendly and Dr Ghandi was pleasant to work with. She explained the procedures and discussed my prescription. I was teetering between two prescriptions for one eye and the Dr gave me two tester contacts to try out and see which I liked. Again a pleasant visit. I'd go back again, and not just because it is a 5 minute walk from my place.
Feb 29, 2016
I have been using North Center Eye care for over 20 years and find the service exceptional. I recommend anyone that cares about their eyesight to give North Center a try.
Feb 29, 2016
My son had his exam at another office and I was able to get a great deal on his glasses and frames. Best part of it was that they were ready in a matter of minutes, and he loves his new glasses!! Great service Thanks
Feb 26, 2016
over all a very good experience. I loved everything about the place.
Feb 24, 2016
The environment is clean, friendly, and well arranged. Everyone was incredibly friendly, and I wouldn't hesitate to return for any of my eye care needs.
Feb 20, 2016
Loved Dr Siegel and how he spent extra time well beyond normal to help me understand different options for my aging eyes. I needed it and I feel like I have a good sense of what is going on with my vision correction. And he and Dr Liz were great with my kids. Very happy to have found a neighborhood eye doctor.
Feb 7, 2016
Everyone was so kind and helpful as I selected my first pair of prescription lenses!
Feb 3, 2016

Jan 31, 2016
Everyone that works at Northcenter Eye Care was very welcoming and professional, and most of all helpful. Dr. Liz Saxton was very professional and informative about my eye exam results and testing. I would definitely recommend Northcenter Eye Care to ALL my relatives and friends.

Jan 24, 2016
I have been a patient here for more than ten years. Now, my entire family goes here, too, for their eye exams and needs. Everyone is wonderful and very capable.
Jan 7, 2016
My visit with Dr. Liz was great, however, I ended up leaving without getting glasses because I waited over 40 minutes for someone to help me. Additionally, it's almost a week past my visit and I still don't have a copy of my prescription yet.
Jan 4, 2016
Small eyewear selection in comparison to other places I have gone, but exam itself was excellent

Dec 19, 2015
Dr. Liz is great. Support staff not as friendly.
Dec 15, 2015
Virginia was friendly and warm when I arrived. Isabell came out immediately to assist. Dr. Gandhi was early for my exam, which was super nice. She's caring and so professional. She answered my questions in a professional and caring manner. Thanks for the great experience.
Dec 13, 2015
Isabel and Dr. Siegel were wonderful as always.
Dec 10, 2015
The staff was gracious and helpful, and Dr. Liz is AMAZING! I guess that's why my family continues to see her. Outstanding service by outstanding professionals.

Oct 31, 2015
I have been going to see Dr. Siegel for over 20 years. He and Izabel are the best.
Oct 29, 2015
Dr. Ghandi and the team at Northcenter Eye Care was professional, knowledgeable, courteous. I appreciated their efficiency, and how they didn't try to upsell me or circumvent my insurance, as some other optometry centers do. Pricing was straightforward, there was a good selection of frames, the store was clean and comfortable.
Oct 24, 2015
We have been satisfied with our eye doctors since the first visit my husband and I made years back. That is why we have stayed with your clinic. Dr. Siegel has a wonderful personality which helps to overcome the fears and physical discomfort. We had to switch to Dr. Gandi's services only because of Ed's condition requiring the attention of a medical doctor. She is very attentive to our needs. I also appreciate the fact that she doesn't rush to solve problems in a main stream way but rather only if alternative methods are not effective. Fortunately for us, she happens to be charming and easy to be around. The staff is professional. Isabelle stands out as an experienced and reliable professional. Again, it is nice to know that she is very friendly and likable. In other words, we have no complains.
Oct 23, 2015
I got there early and was seen right away. The whole process from walking in to walking out took 30 minutes.
Oct 19, 2015
I was happy that I was seen earlier than my scheduled appointment time.
Oct 11, 2015
Dr.Seigel is simply wonderful. He made my visit fun and enjoyable! He was thorough and he explained everything that he was going to do before he did it. He's the best!

Everything was good and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

This was 5-year old son's first eye exam appointment. The technician that took us for the initial exam asked me to fill out forms in a chair while my son struggled to sit in the adult-sized swivel chair in front of the eye machine. She told him to sit on his knees and sit up straight in this wabbly chair, and I watched him get more and more frustrated as she told him to "hold still" until he had almost fallen off the chair in tears before I finally intervened. He was then able to sit on my lap but she kind of apologized and walked out. Dr. Gandhi was wonderful - patient, kind, encouraging and immediately made my son feel very comfortable in a new situation. Bottom line - if you are going to take children, then you better have child-size equipment/chairs and you better train your staff to handle them better.
Oct 5, 2015
He takes the time to explain things and make sure that prescription and contacts are correct.
Oct 4, 2015
Excellent accommodation of schedule for me & my two young kids, have been coming here for years.
Oct 4, 2015
Whole team and facility put this 5-year-old at ease!
Oct 4, 2015
Dr. Liz is amazing! She answers all your questions and doesn't make you feel rushed.
Oct 1, 2015
I didn't find the person who helped me look at frames very friendly, but maybe she was having a bad day. Still, I didn't find a pair I felt was just right. The doctor is terrific, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
