First of all I made two appointments for me and for my son. The pre checkin online asked you to be there 15 min early for whatever reason and I thought it was appropriate since we were first time patients. Our appointments were at 1:00pm and 1:30pm. The office is closed from 12:00-1:00pm for lunch so we waited and as we say the ladys come in from lunch I got so excited because they looked so friendly. The last lady comes in and doesn’t lock the door so I give them a couple to get in and situated and then we go in. I was greeted by a very kind lady I can’t remember her name but it’s ok because we will get pretty acquainted after this last visit. I’m a woman with three sons all over 17 so it’s not hard to please me at an eye dr appointment but how you treat my son is everything. They were so kind and very patient with him. He wanted contacts so they had to teach him how to put them in his eyes. And he got it. It’s a very caring and knowledgeable staff. My son left calling his vision HD. I cried in the car because he has never seen downtown Dallas so clear. Thank you guys so much! I appreciate EVERYTHING!

They do what they are supposed to do but (I got my vision checked) but I felt more like a customer than a patent. It took 90 minutes to get in and out. I will give them credit where credit is due, it is a well oiled machine when it comes to sales but that's not what I look for in an optometrist.

Dr. Hatton was great during the exam but the office staff (Kelle) that I worked with to try to get glasses was impatient and rude. When the information Kelle gave me was different than what Dr. Hatton had said, she refused to ask the doctor for clarification. I ended up leaving without knowing which prescription to fill so the visit was not at all successful. I will have to consult another professional to get my answer since I am unable to get access to Dr. Hatton.

Dr Fain is extremely thorough while being charasmatic, completely transparent with what is going on with your vision, Understood my wanting to buy more than one pair with a less expensive pirce. So had not trouble giving me my RX, but warned me the quality might be less than i am used!
October 5, 2020James T.Verified patient
Great experience! They use what seems to be the most up to date + cutting edge technology in your eye exam. She took the time to explain everything in detail to me so I could understand what and why certain tests were done. Everyone was friendly, competent, and efficient!

July 29, 2020Terri M.Verified patient
I really enjoyed my appointment. I was seen quickly and the technology utilized for both the preventative care and exam room were state of the art. On top of that Dr. Hatton is amazing! She made an effort to know me as a person not just a patient, and took her time to make sure I was in the right prescription which is something other eye doctors skimp on.

Excellent visit. Dr. Hattan was very professional and answered all my questions. She took the time to explain test results and to recommend specific items for my eye ware needs.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. The facility is beautiful, and I loved all of the updated technology. I feel that this is definitely the most in depth eye exam that I've had. The physician spent a lot of time with me making sure the prescription was perfect. Everyone was helpful, and they did all apologize for the long wait. I was fitted for my glasses prior to the exam since they were backed up, which I did appreciate! My appointment was at 3:30, and I did not leave until 5:15. However, everyone was helpful and I would recommend!
June 1, 2017Rebecca K.Verified patient
Dr. Hatton and her staff are wonderful! They're welcoming and organized, and provide great care with all the latest and greatest technologies. That terrifying puffy thing - you don't have to do it! Dr. Hatton also walked me through these awesome retinal images they took of my eyes and sent me home with two types of contacts to test. Parking is easy - they have reserved spots - and they saw me right away. So happy I booked with them!
FYI: They're right next door to Mint dentistry. If I'd known, I would have knocked out my dentist appointment as well (assuming they're well reviewed. Haven't been to Mint personally...)
April 26, 2017Sherry S.Verified patient
The office is very charming and didn't feel overly "medical". The equipment was all modern and top of the line which made me feel well cared for in such a comfortable environment.
The entire staff was very nice and hospitable.
Dr. Hatton took her time to explain everything that she was looking at so you understood the process of the visit.

Everyone I spoke with in the office was extremely friendly and easy to talk to. Dr. Linda Fain Hatton explained my test results thoroughly and answered any questions I had. I never felt rushed like I have at other offices. They even picked out a number of frames for me to try on and helped me pick out the right pair for me. I highly recommend visiting her and have already recommended her to friends and family in the area!
July 29, 2016Andrea K.Verified patient
Dr. Linda Fain Hatton is very professional and she shows great interest in what's going on with you and will go to lengths to find exactly what is needed for your condition. She has a wonderful personality. I highly recommend her.

She is upbeat, friendly, and makes sure you know every option about your eyecare whether that is the pricing, the varieties of contacts/glasses, etc. I would definitely recommend! The staff were very welcoming. Will be making sure I return to her :)
March 11, 2016Emmaline C.Verified patient
I was very disappointed in the services provided by Optix Eyecare. I felt that everyone was more concerned with trying to sell me expensive glasses and contacts that my eye sight was overlooked.
When my glasses came in, I tried them on and said that I couldn't see out of them. They told me I would get use to it.
I ended up having to go back and have my eyes re-checked, because I was given the wrong prescription in both my contacts and glasses. I was told I would not have to pay for a full eye examination, only a contact fitting. I ended paying in full for the examination.
It was a very frustrating and expensive experience.

This was my first time to visit Dr. Hatton and her staff. They were all great and pleasant. They explained everything in detail so I understood what was going on with my eyes. They made it very enjoyable being at the eye doctor.
