Testimonials

WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY

4.9 AVERAGE REVIEWS
“

"I highly recommend Wood Eyecare with Dr. James Wood. My husband and I have been his patients for many years and I'd like to highlight 3 reasons why I appreciate his expertise in eye care. In the past, we've always taken our prescription for our glasses to discount places to have the new lenses installed."

Deborah L.

Patient

"Excellent experiences with Wood Eyecare!  The team is welcoming and professional, and Dr. Jim is amazing! He took the time to explain things and answered all of my questions (some other eye doctors I've visited often seemed rushed, and I didn't always ask all of the questions I wanted to).  I love my new contacts and new eyecare provider!"​​​​​​​

Candace C.

Patient

"If you're seeking an exceptional optometrist who combines expertise with a genuine passion for patient care, look no further than Dr. Nguyen. Specializing in eye care for both adults and children, Dr. Nguyen stands out not only for his professional proficiency but also for his wonderful rapport with young patients."​​​​​​​

Davis L.

Patient

"My hubby and I are new patients.  We are impressed with the customer service, impressive care we've received, and the kindness of the entire staff.  Our whole experience has been great!  We will continue our eye care here and will most likely have our son come, as well.  Would definitely recommend them!"

Diana L.

Patient

"This is my first experience with Wood Eyecare and it was quite some time since I've had an eye exam. Kyrra was absolutely wonderful and made me feel comfortable from the start. She explained every procedure in detail and the eye map picture was far better than getting your eyes dilated! She was also respectful of my claustrophobia, as was Dr. Nguyen."

Jodi

Patient

Lidio G.

Patient

"I have lived in GA for the past 9 years and I can’t believe it has taken me this long to find Wood Eye Care. My son and I had our first appointment today and it was excellent from start to finish. The entire staff was extremely friendly and provided excellent customer service."

Chris A.

Patient

"I've been going to Wood Eye Care for 16+ years at the Five Forks Trickum location. We lived in the area 11 years ago when I was fortunate enough to find Dr. Wood's practice. Now, although I drive 1.5 hours to get to his office from our current home, it is WELL worth the visit."

Karen P.

Patient

"I've been visiting Wood Eye Care for close to 20 years now.  It's a real pleasure to see them.  The entire staff is friendly and helpful.  It's very obvious they care about ensuring my eyes are healthy and well cared for as well as any contacts or glasses work well and look good too!  I highly recommend them.  Dr. Jim is the best!  I always enjoy my visits with him."

Catherine O.

Patient

"Go here, go here, go here! I recently moved to Lawrenceville and this location was really close to my house. After looking at several reviews for other locations I kept looking at this location."
