Overall great customer service with the Duluth, GA location. From the moment I walked in, I felt taken care of by each member of the staff. They take the time to get to know you, understand your health concerns, fully educate you on all of your options, and make you laugh throughout the process - child or not. There is such an air about the place that promotes inclusiveness, professionalism, and family.
Excellent experience with a skilled and professional staff interested in offering the best options for their patients.

By far the best Optometrist I have ever been too! And he truly cares and uncovered something that I would have never known. He does a thorough exam.

Love this office's doctors and staff, my daughter is changing to this office from her current one. Would absolutely recommend.
Verified patient
I went here for the first time today (3-29-16). Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. Dr. Smith was very professional and kind. He took his time with me and was open to any questions. I was seen almost immediately upon my arrival. Overall, it was the most pleasant office visit I have had in many years.
Verified patient
This is an excellent practice with an extremely talented and courteous group of professionals. I was impressed with their attention to detail, willingness to explain my options and the time afforded to begin discussing a continuum of care. This is the first time I have ever been impressed by an eye exam. The value of the visit was much more than simply a new prescription. I have found a permanent home at this practice for my eye health.
Verified patient
Prior to this visit I have been going to a big box retailer for my contact lenses. My last visit resulted in contacts that made seeing up close very difficult and I wanted to go to an independent vision center for better care. The reviews I have read about the Briggs Group in general were overwhelming positive and my experience proved that those glowing reviews were absolutely correct and deserved. I was greeted quickly by the receptionist. My wait was only a few minutes. This is a very organized and professional office. The nurse who did my initial tests is a delight, very competent and personable. I wish I remembered her name because she deserves much better recognition for being great at her job. Dr. Smith is also very nice, professional and thorough. He explained his concerns about my retinal photo and was very gracious about answering my questions and other concerns. I am entirely happy with my experience and think I have found a permanent place for my eye care needs
Verified patient

Dr. Smith was really nice as was the rest of the staff. The office was nice and clean and we were seen right away. Very good experience!
Verified patient
I have been going here for years! The office is always running on time, and I've never had any issues. When I do need to get a new pair of glasses, they are always so helpful and work with you to find a pair on your budget and explain what your insurance will cover. They are also great in helping you select a pair that looks good on you as well! :D
Verified patient
Very Professional service provided. The staff is knowledgable. I was impressed by Donna - the Assistant to Dr Smith. My experience with other clinics is that Assistants are interns so they are still in the "training" phase - but Donna was highly knowledgable and professional. This is what a customer expects from the clinic. I highly recommend this location and clinic.
Verified patient
Julie took me for the initial tests and was very enjoyable to talk with. Dr. Smith attended to my eyes. He was very friendly and offered many explanations when I requested them. He was thorough and I felt at very much at ease with him. I will definitely recommend Dr Smith and his associates to my friends and acquaintances. Thank you.

This is my second year going to his practice and I enjoy the service that I receive while there. He and his staff were very attentive and advised me on the proper eye wear that was best for me. Definitely will be returning for my yearly check up.

I would highly recommend Dr. Smith. He did a through exam in less than an hour, which I appreciated. They had state of the art equipment which made me feel that Dr. Smith is well informed about the health of the inside of my eyes as well as my vision. I've already told family and friends about his abilities!
Verified patient
Entire staff was friendly, helpful and professional. The dr was very thorough and I'm satisfied with the treatment I received.

Verified patient
Although the office was small, the attention to detail and feeling like I was getting a thorough examination was wonderful. I didn't feel rushed and all questions and concerns were welcomed. Had a great experience.
Verified patient
Dr. Smith is a very nice doctor. He was thorough in is examination and explained everything that he was doing. I am a new patient at this office and I was very pleased.
Dr. Smith was very pleasant and fully explained everything to me and gave me honest advice. I haven't had an eye exam in a dozen years and haven't had any eye problems. But being in my early 40s now I'm having trouble seeing the computer and reading. He actually told me I could get away with drug store readers - he wasn't trying to sell me anything. I decided to get a pair of prescription reading glasses and his staff was extremely helpful.
I was very pleased. This was my first visit to this location after having visited the other office for many years. This location works much better for me. Dr. Smith and Julia were absolutely wonderful.
