I am looking for recommendations for a ophthalmologist for my 6 month old son was hoping you guys would know some good ones around here :-)
Down O. replied:
Depends on your insurance. We've used vision enhancement clinic. http://www.visionenhancementclinic.com/. Dr Hart in Republic is terrific Dr Jarvis in Willard Let me know if you need more info
This boy needs to see an eye doctor... any recommendations?
Kelly B. replied:
Dr Scott Atkison at Mercy is good (but he's always running behind)...I have also used Dr Pierce off Freemont and really liked him
Missy B. replied:
Zeke always went to Dr. Judd McNaughton. He did Zeke's strabismus surgery. We always knew he had done a great job and we recently had that confirmed when a very experienced and highly regarded pediatric ophthalmologist in Tennessee saw Zeke and said he had been treated by a highly skilled doctor.
Lori R. replied:
Kristan not sure you want to come to Nixa but Dr. Daniel Boone at Nixa Family Eye Care is amazing with kids!!!! And takes most insurances!!!
Sarah E. replied:
Dr. Pierce at vision enhancement clinic. Specializes with kids
Missy B. replied:
Kristan: Message me if you want to know about our experience with Dr. McNaughton. Zeke STILL remembers that he was his eye doctor in Springfield. He was so wonderful with Zeke.
Becky P. replied:
Dr. Boone! I know he and his wife- amazing couple. He does a ton of missions work too!
Shannon Y. replied:
Dr. Pierce he specializes in children. I have not used him myself but I have many friends who have and they rave about him I have also spent time talking to him about what he does with children for a project I was working on and I was completely impressed with him if we ever need to take James that's where we will go
Amy U. replied:
Riley and Rebier... May have spelled that wrong but they are the best in town... On 31 and Indiana... The real deal they really check your vision for everything!!
Karen T. replied:
Dr. Pierce is where we all go. He is fantastic. He watches them read.
Need a new eye doctor in Springfield. Any suggestions??
Melanie D. replied:
Dr. Katie McElvaine at the Vision Clinic!: )
Lindsay B. replied:
I would also second the Vision Clinic. We went to the one on National Avenue. I think we both saw Mitzi Lewis, but I would venture to guess they are all good doctors. Good luck!
Tyler B. replied:
I see old man Herndon at the Vision Clinic.
Missy B. replied:
If you need retina care, Dr. Katherine Sun is amazing!!!!!!!
Roger W. replied:
We go to Dr. Pierce, he just changed the name from Vision Enhancements, but I do not know what the new name is.
Julie S. replied:
For the kids? We used Atkinson for years and really liked him. He was out of network so we changed, He is with St. Johns.
I need a referral for the best ophthalmologist in Springfield for Josh. I know the difference and don't need an optometrist right now. Thanks friends! Oh. My insurance...
Adie W. replied:
Emily Thomas with vision clinic!
Barbara D. replied:
Debbie, I'll have Rick ask the Drs. up in surgery, today, who they would use, in the Mercy system. (And yes, Dr. Essman is considered one of the best...and and is a really nice person, as well.)
Barbara D. replied:
Debbie...Dr. Essman and Dr. Katheryn Sun are the people the surgical staff & Drs. would send their own family to. (Rick works with both, in surg...they are both Mercy System, and highly respected & very skilled.)
Ann R. replied:
I had eye surgery with Dr. Essman in January. He did an excellent job and is very nice. I would highly recommend him!
Leslie P. replied:
Depends on the condition if you are looking for a specialist. The Mercy Eye Clinic in the Surgery Center Building at Seminole and Fremont has a pediatric ophthalmologist as well as other good docs. Of course right now I can't remember names, but I think it is Atkinson and mine was Peterson. Good luck and I hope Josh gets well soon.
Mary W. replied:
My mom uses Dr. Essman. He's wonderful! If you need their services, the people at the Vision Rehabilitation Center are fantastic! I think you have to have a referral to use their services, but not sure. Mom was referred by Dr. Essman.
Bob's insurance is changing to Cox Health beginning June 1st. So, I need to find the boys' a new pediatrician and eye doctor. Any suggestions? We have never been to...
Lori L. replied:
My kids see Dr Judd McNaughton for eyes. We really like him ang he came highly reccommended from Dr Atkinson who is only ped opthamalogist around.
Pam R. replied:
Thanks, Lori Leach! Matt saw Dr. Atkinson for several years. I will see if I can get appointments with Dr. McNaughton.:-)
Lori L. replied:
Dr Atkinson was willing to refer us to him if we needed it. We got in with no problems. They are great there. We loved Dr Atkinson, too
Less than 2 weeks until Sam gets here! One of the things we need to do while she is here is get her eyes checked. Any recommendations for an eye doctor (in...
Rachel B. replied:
Dr Jordan in Joplin is awesome if you are this way.:)
Pam G. replied:
My daughter saw Dr. Scott Atkinson from three years of age until recently when she needed a doctor to fit her for contacts. He works really well with younger patients. He's at Mercy in the outpatient surgery building.
Lindsay H. replied:
The Nixa Eye Clinic saw M last Christmas and were very kind. Have you asked the Lion's Club in Springfield if they would consider donating the exam?
Debbie J. replied:
Raynisha Robinson we are hosting an orphan from Eastern Europe for a month over Christmas. We'll see what happens after that.
Okay Springfield friends. Need recommendations for a good youth eye doctor in the Mercy network! Throw them at me....go! Thanks!!
Evan F. replied:
Scott Atkinson@Mercy, 100% who I have and will take my kids to.
Joleen P. replied:
Dr Atkinson is really good but doesn't take some insurances. We use Dr Slinker at Mercy.
Eden A. replied:
like someone else said, double check providers from your insurance. at Mercy, we used Paul Knick - LOVED him. and then our insurance changed. now we're at Vision Clinic. we've seen several there. really liked Brad Lewis and I'm getting ready to make an appointment with his wife Mitzi. they have kids at Harrison.
