LLOYD T. DIXON, OD REVIEWS

My eye exam went well. Nothing unusual occurred. No major changes had taken place since last year. Dr Dixon is good at explaining the findings from the tests. He always does a good job and is easy to understand. The woman who sold me the frames had excellent knowledge of her job. I really appreciated her help and her comments. All in all it was a good, well done visit to have my eyes checked out for this year, 2025 and buy new frames and a prescription for new glasses. I arrived at Discover Vision in Independence, MO at 9:50 a.m and returned home in Lee's Summit at 11:50 a.m A very good morning.

Great staff! Was a little nervous at first but was quickly put to ease with the doctor answering all my questions and concerns I had. Absolutely recommend getting your procedure done here! Been wearing glasses since I was 5 years old and am so happy with how my Lasik operation turned out. No more glasses for me!.

Dr. Dixon has performed my last two annual eye exams. I am very happy with his attentiveness, demeanor and communication. I would highly recommend him for this purpose.

TIMOTHY A. WALLINE, M.D. REVIEWS

I am very happy with the care that I received. The Sabates team of professionals over the past 13 years saved me from a deadly melanoma in my left eye (that started as a small pimple) and is now doing everything possible to preserve the vision in my right eye. These people have given me years of life that I probably would not have had without them. I highly recommend that everyone see an opthalmologist for eye exams. I am so very glad that I did. I trust the doctors and professionals at Sabates. I give them the highest rating. Thank you.

Mom has been seeing Dr Walline for a few years and loves him. He listens to her and doesn't try to get her to do anything other than her exam. Other doctors have tried pressuring her to get her cataracts removed but she doesn't have sight issues. I would definitely recommend him.

They were very friendly and helpful and the doctor was pleasant and he give me my options. So I think they did a good job. I give him a 10.

RYAN POWELL, OD REVIEWS

Two of your employees were fantastic. They are Jena and Anissa. Dr. Catrell was the best and I've had several in the past year due to difficulties including Cataract removal. These three people really make your office above and beyond the others. I would highly recommend them. There are many many places to go in this area for eye concerns but only the people listed above would you recommend.

The eye doctor is very personable and friendly, and being my first time there he made me feel comfortable, which usually going to a new place and doctor for the first time I'm a nervous wreck, but wasn't here. The girl that helped me with my contacts and glasses was very friendly and explained my vision plan and what it covered and what it didn't. Very pleased with my choice of them as my new eye care place.

Everyone was so friendly but professional! They went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. Seriously. They exchanged my first pair with no problems and worked with me to find another. Definitely recommend and will be back!
