Very friendly and prompt service. The exam was very thorough and the doctor spent a lot of time explaining my eye health.One suggestion: I drove myself to the exam. My eyes were dilated for the exam. Driving home was very difficult due to the bright sun even with my sunglasses. I would have liked to have been able to avoid. Recommend offering darker glasses to wear over my own glasses or recommend you have someone to drive you home.

Dr. Herron is one of the BEST Optometrists I have ever seen. She is very professional but yet friendly, making me as the patient feel cared for. She provided a very thorough eye exam and her Scribe, Kimberly Groves, was very engaging as well. The Tech that pretested me, Amanda Potter was also very engaging and comprehensive in her testing. I want to thank the Staff of Coastal Vision Center for a GREAT EXPERIENCE. On a Side Note, I will greatly miss Dr. McClane but wish him the best in his retirement!read more

Overall, a very positive experience. As they are clearly the preferred vision care center for Fernandina Beach and surrounding area, they were very busy when we arrived and our appointment ran about 30 minutes late. However, they made up for the delay with a very efficient screening/testing process and the rest of the appointment went very well. Staff were excellent and answered every question clearly and presented options. For this new patient (and my wife), a very good experience.

And I do sincerely apologize for missing my first appointment due to the reaction I had to the Moderna booster shot. And squeezing me in the very next day was amazing.

Wonderful staff and Office Manager....always nice, helpful, and very friendly! Both, Dr. Marks and Dr. Stowe are very knowledgeable and thorough in checking out any problems you may be having. They go out of their way to make sure that any symptom you have is addressed and solved before you leave.The only downside to my experience there is that their charges are a little over the top for a small town location like Callahan. I understand that we are having price increases everywhere...but if you want to keep a good, faithful list of clientele/patients you have to keep prices as affordable as possible or people will go elsewhere...even if they have to drive out of their area to do so....even small discounts or monthly specials are extremely helpful.read more

The office staff was very nice and professional. They all did a thorough job and enjoyed talking with them.Disappointed they required masks to be worn. I can’t believe they are perpetuating the fear and deceitful practices of masks even when the overwhelming number of studies show they don’t prevent transmission of viruses. The only reason I would return is the competence of the staff.

It was a treat to watch Dr. Herron act as a medical detective to identify the cause of my double vision. She was tenacious as she went through test after test to rule in or rule out different potential causes. In the end, she identified an abnormality that is likely the cause. Her efforts were exceptional.

Dr. Stackhouse is amazing when it comes to LASIK. He did a great job with my eyes, bringing me from not being able to tell there were any letters on the eye chart to being able to read the 15/20 line.While I was definitely scared going in, since they were about to operate on my eyes, he and his staff did a great job of making me feel comfortable and making it a smooth and painless process. Honestly, I can't recommend them enough, since normal eyesight has changed my life so much.

I recently went for an appointment for new glasses. Last year I was told my right eye wasn't correctable by another eye center due to RK surgery almost 30 years ago. Well.... My new glasses from Coastal Vision are perfect. I can see near and far with clarity. I feel so happy to know there's a team if people who can help me as eyes change as you age. Thank you!read more

Coastal Vision Center is a very diverse practice that can handle practically any eye care need and is great for all ages.Their optical shop will be the largest you’ve ever seen with a wide range of frames that can fit any budget (not like the hole in the wall eye practices that have a small selection for budget frames (on top of making you feel bad for choosing them)). They also have quite a selection of high end frames (if this is tempting, I suggest leaving the good credit cards at home - you can do some serious damage LOL). Regardless of what you choose, the optical shop will help you every step of the way and is very patient and accommodating when giving you options that work with your insurance. Even if you received your prescription elsewhere, I suggest going to Coastal Vision Center to purchase your glasses... you are much more apt to find a pair you like, with exceptional service on top of it.This practice likes to share their knowledge and has many train/intern under them, which shows how much experience they have. Each member of the clinic staff treats their patients with the highest regard and makes you feel like you’re important. The doctors are very down to earth and helpful and treat their exams more as a two-way street versus just telling you what you need and leaving. They want to make sure you’re leaving happy and comfortable with the right solution for you, as well as answering any questions or concerns you have.Overall, the clinic is caring and helpful, the optical shop is phenomenal and the front staff is friendly and efficient. Your visit may be quite a bit more lengthy than you would get at another practice, but it is worth it to get a higher level of service, care and better optical experience. I definitely would suggest this practice to anyone that is looking to make their eye care be an experience, and not “just another appointment”.read more

I am delighted to express my gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Herron and her staff at Coastal Vision Center.Upon arrival, the receptionists were very friendly, polite and accommodating and the wait time was very short. Dr. Herron was phenomenal! She’s very knowledgeable, diligent and attentive to my needs and concerns. She thoroughly explained to me the images and reports to help me fully understand the health of my eyes. Her ability to convey genuine concern and interest in me as a patient resonated with me. All of the staff followed the CDC guidances including sanitizing the equipment before each use, wearing masks, etc. This has been my best experience in over 15 years of wearing corrective lens! This is definitely my new home for all of my vision needs. I typically don’t leave reviews but Coastal Vision Center deserves the recognition and acknowledgement for their outstanding service. I highly recommend!read more

Be advised, there will be a 40.00 dollars charge for a procedure to test your eyes that is not covered by most insurances. I did not have a credit card on me and luckily had cash to pay it. A reminder of the charge added to the text for the appointment reminder would be nice. So, bring 40.00 dollars with you or a credit card. Dr. Heron is my doctor and she is very good at her job.

My first time experience here was nothing short of terrific !My wait time was reasonable and Sara the intern that started my appointment has the best chair side manner - she was friendly, patient with me answering my many questions, and very professional.Dr. Marks is very calming, reassuring and extremely thorough - one of the best Dr.’s I’ve ever been to. She gave me options on what to do going forward - I really liked that !read more

Dr. Herron is one of the BEST Optometrists I have ever seen. She is very professional but yet friendly, making me as the patient feel cared for. She provided a very thorough eye exam and her Scribe, Kimberly Groves, was very engaging as well. The Tech that pretested me, Amanda Potter was also very engaging and comprehensive in her testing. I want to thank the Staff of Coastal Vision Center for a GREAT EXPERIENCE. On a Side Note, I will greatly miss Dr. McClane but wish him the best in his retirement!read more

Overall, a very positive experience. As they are clearly the preferred vision care center for Fernandina Beach and surrounding area, they were very busy when we arrived and our appointment ran about 30 minutes late. However, they made up for the delay with a very efficient screening/testing process and the rest of the appointment went very well. Staff were excellent and answered every question clearly and presented options. For this new patient (and my wife), a very good experience.read more

I’m confident that my future visits will be handled in the same way, thank you to all the team at coastal vision for helping me out. And I do sincerely apologize for missing my first appointment due to the reaction I had to the Moderna booster shot. And squeezing me in the very next day was amazing. Again, I’m a very satisfied customer and will sing your praises to all of Amelia Island!read more

Wonderful staff and Office Manager....always nice, helpful, and very friendly! Both, Dr. Marks and Dr. Stowe are very knowledgeable and thorough in checking out any problems you may be having. They go out of their way to make sure that any symptom you have is addressed and solved before you leave.The only downside to my experience there is that their charges are a little over the top for a small town location like Callahan. I understand that we are having price increases everywhere...but if you want to keep a good, faithful list of clientele/patients you have to keep prices as affordable as possible or people will go elsewhere...even if they have to drive out of their area to do so....even small discounts or monthly specials are extremely helpful.read more

It was a treat to watch Dr. Herron act as a medical detective to identify the cause of my double vision.

Dr. Stackhouse is amazing when it comes to LASIK. He did a great job with my eyes, bringing me from not being able to tell there were any letters on the eye chart to being able to read the 15/20 line.While I was definitely scared going in, since they were about to operate on my eyes, he and his staff did a great job of making me feel comfortable and making it a smooth and painless process. Honestly, I can't recommend them enough, since normal eyesight has changed my life so much.read more

Absolutely the best!! Not even a patient yet, my hub had an emergency due to something in his eye. Coastal Vision saw him right away and took care of the problem. I recently went for an appointment for new glasses. Last year I was told my right eye wasn't correctable by another eye center due to RK surgery almost 30 years ago. Well.... My new glasses from Coastal Vision are perfect. I can see near and far with clarity. I feel so happy to know there's a team if people who can help me as eyes change as you age. Thank you!read more

Coastal Vision Center is a very diverse practice that can handle practically any eye care need and is great for all ages.Their optical shop will be the largest you’ve ever seen with a wide range of frames that can fit any budget (not like the hole in the wall eye practices that have a small selection for budget frames (on top of making you feel bad for choosing them)). They also have quite a selection of high end frames (if this is tempting, I suggest leaving the good credit cards at home - you can do some serious damage LOL). Regardless of what you choose, the optical shop will help you every step of the way and is very patient and accommodating when giving you options that work with your insurance. Even if you received your prescription elsewhere, I suggest going to Coastal Vision Center to purchase your glasses... you are much more apt to find a pair you like, with exceptional service on top of it.This practice likes to share their knowledge and has many train/intern under them, which shows how much experience they have. Each member of the clinic staff treats their patients with the highest regard and makes you feel like you’re important. The doctors are very down to earth and helpful and treat their exams more as a two-way street versus just telling you what you need and leaving. They want to make sure you’re leaving happy and comfortable with the right solution for you, as well as answering any questions or concerns you have.Overall, the clinic is caring and helpful, the optical shop is phenomenal and the front staff is friendly and efficient. Your visit may be quite a bit more lengthy than you would get at another practice, but it is worth it to get a higher level of service, care and better optical experience. I definitely would suggest this practice to anyone that is looking to make their eye care be an experience, and not “just another appointment”.read more

I am delighted to express my gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Herron and her staff at Coastal Vision Center.Upon arrival, the receptionists were very friendly, polite and accommodating and the wait time was very short. Dr. Herron was phenomenal! She’s very knowledgeable, diligent and attentive to my needs and concerns. She thoroughly explained to me the images and reports to help me fully understand the health of my eyes. Her ability to convey genuine concern and interest in me as a patient resonated with me. All of the staff followed the CDC guidances including sanitizing the equipment before each use, wearing masks, etc. This has been my best experience in over 15 years of wearing corrective lens! This is definitely my new home for all of my vision needs. I typically don’t leave reviews but Coastal Vision Center deserves the recognition and acknowledgement for their outstanding service. I highly recommend!read more

Be advised, there will be a 40.00 dollars charge for a procedure to test your eyes that is not covered by most insurances. I did not have a credit card on me and luckily had cash to pay it. A reminder of the charge added to the text for the appointment reminder would be nice. So, bring 40.00 dollars with you or a credit card. Dr. Heron is my doctor and she is very good at her job.read more

I can't say enough good things about this entire office and staff! We were on vacation and my daughter had an ant in her eye and experienced severe swelling. We called in a panic at 4 p.m. and the front office was so nice and accommodating and said they could see her that day. When we arrived, we were greeted by a caring front office staff and there was little waiting time before she was examined by the doctor and medical staff and given a prescription that worked like a charm! From start to finish, everyone was friendly and professional. We are truly thankful for the care she received and would highly recommend Coastal Vision Center.read more
