I have been a patient of Eyes of the World and Dr. Channing Baird for more than 25 years. I keep coming back because the care I receive is always thoughtful and kind. I feel seen (no pun intended) as an individual patient without my own unique optical history and needs.
Verified patient
Office staff was extremely rushed and rude even though I showed up on time. They didn’t review what I would owe or whether my insurance was accepted until I explicitly asked. The doctor was great, only complaints is with the office experience as a new patient.
It was fine
Great team. Super lovely. Dr. Channing was professional and straightforward and answered all of my questions. Short appointment as my prescription doesn’t change as much. The office was clean and lovely. A note on parking: is street parking so do give yourself extra time to find a parking spot in a busy area and even without being busy it was difficult.
Verified patient
Long time patient, excellent service, professionalism, prices. I've recommended many friends to this practice, none are disappointed.
Verified patient
The doctor was personal and professional
Verified patient
A very nice experience overall. Limited paperwork to complete as a new patient. Benefits coverage was clearly communicated in person before my appointment began. Office staff were friendly and helpful.
Amazing. Caring, timely, and friendly
This office was efficient and high quality. They got me in/out no wait and got through the exam quickly/thoroughly. Will go back.
