“I was reminded of my appointment several times before I arrived. Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly by the staff. After a few minutes in the waiting area, I was taken back and received a round of pretests. When I saw the doctor, she was friendly and explained thing that was easy to understand. I recommend Dr. Mock to my friends.”

Very complete eye exam. I do not have insurance for Optometry, though the price I paid was very fair.

Dr Mock is wonderful. She explains your eye health in detail. She takes her time and you don’t feel like she’s rushing to the next patient. I’ve gone to her for many, many years.
July 25, 2023Laurie L.Verified patient
It was a great experience I arrived earlier than my app and someone had called saying they were going to be late so they switched our app times around and I got seen shortly after that, everyone was so friendly and so joyful, I work in healthcare as well, you don’t see a lot of friendly clinics like this one.

Very thorough exam and I didn’t feel as if the doctor was in a hurry to see the next patient. All of my questions were answered and she explained everything well.
The woman who assisted me after the appointment was friendly and efficient.

Welcomed even as I showed up early. Dr Mock had an awesome bedside manner and was attentive in addition to explaining things to me
May 21, 2022Irene R.Verified patient
The front desk gave me a hard time about not completing my new patient paperwork online, even though I came in 15 minutes early to complete it. That put a bad taste in my mouth.
But everyone else (Dr. Mock, the nurse, and the person who helped me pick out my glasses) were WONDERFUL! They were very thorough with my exam and walked me through each step. I had a lot of fun picking out my new frames and I look forward to my next appointment!
September 13, 2021Mary B.Verified patient
Very knowledgeable and kind.
December 15, 2020Stephanie D.Verified patient
I was hesitant to go so far for an optometrist appointment, since I live in KCMO but it was well-worth it!
The staff was nothing but professional and courteous. When I initially setup my appointment online, I was sent a message via email and text to contact the office before my office. There are forms one needs to fill out before an appointment and they can be done so on their website or in person at the office.
Upon arrival, you are asked to wait in your car and wear a mask. Once it is time for your appointment, a staff will come out and greet you.
Dr. Mock was warm, friendly, patient and overly thorough.
I love her professionalism and "bedside" manner. I can see why her and her staff deserve a 5-star rating. Can't wait for my follow-up appointment.

I was 20 minutes late for my appointment today. However, the receptionist and technician were able to quickly helped me to register and perform all testing needed before seeing Dr. Mock. I am able to walk out of the office within one hour with everything I needed. I am very happy with the results and recommendations I received from Dr. Mock. I will come back for the service for sure.

Very professional very efficient. I can see again thanks to the doctor and the glasses I got.
I’m a pilot and was having trouble reading some critical flight instruments. The glasses I got tint in bright light and are perfect in the cockpit environment.

Dr. Buffie Mock is the best! The office staff and technicians were extremely nice and helpful, explaining everything in a friendly and efficient manner. Dr. Mock took the time to find the perfect prescription for my eyes, which had changed dramatically. I have already recommended her to my family and friends. She is easily the best eye doctor I’ve ever had!
