Reviews at Advanced Optometry
"Been going here since I was a child. I love that they don’t push prescriptions on people. I use readers and they recommended that I just use the cheap ones for now until I actually need to spend money in a prescription. Always timely and incredibly kind. They go over everything they find and explain things thoroughly."

"

I was visiting Cadillac from out of town and accidentally left my glasses and extra contacts at home. Advanced Optometry was quick to help me find a solution on short notice. If they take such great care of someone just passing through, I can only imagine how well they treat their regular patients! My mother-in-law is a patient there and has been happy with their care as well.

Haley G.

"Was very satisfied with my recent visit.   I went for an eye exam, new glasses, and new safety glasses for work.  When selecting the frames, lenses and options for both sets of glasses everything was clearly explained so I had a clear expectation of what my insurance was covering and what my portion was going to be.   Having gone to a few other places around Cadillac over the years I believe I have found my new home for eye care."

Michael M.

"I’ve been to a few eye doctors, and this office is hands down the best I’ve been to. Everyone was so kind and great at explaining my vision insurance to me. The price I paid for exam and new glasses was more than fair. And they were extremely helpful at helping me pick out new frames. I always struggle with what frames will work best with my face and they helped me find the perfect pair of glasses!"

Katelynn W.

"Great place, they stand behind their work and product."

Steve P.

"I had concerns about a blood shot eye, and I was able to get in right away.  Dr. McDonald was very thorough and spent adequate time to explain."

John G.

"Love this office! Kind, knowledgeable staff. I won’t go anywhere else!"
