“Dr Belgrade went above and beyond for me. I had my annual exam and mentioned that I was still seeing halos after cataracts surgery. Rather than just saying he didn't see anything wrong, Dr. Belgrade researched the issue, including contacting colleagues, and personally called me back to let me know what he found. Very few doctors of any type would take that extra step for a patient. I highly recommend this caring doctor.”
“Staff was very nice and helpful. I love the front desk lady! Very funny and welcoming. I have had some eye problems in the past that caused me to not be comfortable in contacts. The doctor listened to my concerns and gave me a trial pair of contacts to see how I do with them. I am beyond grateful the he did not pressure me to just buy contacts with out trying them first. I've had that in the past at other doctors and have always had issues with the contacts. Very happy I came here for my eye exam!”
“The care I received from Dr Belgrave at my last visit, and all of my appointments for that matter, was first rate. I have diabetes so for me a thorough eye exam is very important. Dr Belgrave is very caring, very thorough, takes as much time as needed and uses very modern equipment. His office is not very fancy but that is not important to me. Dr Belgrave is the best eye Dr I have ever used.”
“Super awesome eye doctor. Very funny and made me feel comfortable because I get nervous going to doctors. I feel like he cares about the patient, which is really rare these days. Explain everything really well that was going on with eyes. The front desk girl was super sweet and nice. I recommend anybody going.”
“My husband and I was very pleased with our visit to Dr. Belgrave. We were impressed to see that he was so warm and friendly. He was genuinely concerned with our visual needs, and took great care of us. We will be following up with Dr. Belgrave in the near future.”
“I enjoyed the good customer service at the front desk and Dr. Belgrave is a cool guy! He likes to keep things light and funny while being to the point. There were a lot of this I didn't know about my eyes and he was able to break it down so I could better understand! I would recommend him.”
“Dr. Belgrave is the best in the area. He is knowledgeable, efficient, and talks to you with respect. I would recommend him to anyone. Highly recommend making an appointment over doing a walk-in, simply because of the potential for a long wait. I arrived ten minutes earlier than my appointment time and waited for less time than that to be served.”
“What an awesome experience!!! Dr. Belgrave and his assistant are very down to earth and friendly ...I laughed the entire time I was there. Dr Belgrave connected immediately with my 15 yr old son ...yes Dr Belgrave is a gamer ...lol. I recommend this practice to everyone. Very professional with a friendly warm feeling.”
“I have referred multiple patients to the facility and they always bring me back great feed back. I myself even had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Belgrave. Excellent service, I highly recommend this practice.”
“Have always treated me right and made sure I understood everything going on with my eyes. Has been one of the greatest eye doctors I've seen in the last 38 years.”
