What Our Patients Say About Us

Amy Smith
Courtney and Dr are absolutely wonderful. Always a pleasant experience. Love this place so much.
Kelley Holley
Im new to wearing glasses and was very nervous until Ms Courtney walked me through a terrific experience. She is a walking angle. If your looking for a new eye doctor this is definitely the place to go, ask for Courtney.

Being a new patient at the office, I felt very welcomed. The staff was very kind and quick to get me back to the Dr. They shared that they just got new exam equipment that offers more detailed testing. I was super impressed with their frame selections and how knowledgeable their optician, Kaycee, was for lens options. I was really excited to see that they had Costa Del Mar sunglasses and never knew they had regular style glasses with Costa. I look forward to working with them again in the future.
Martease Mccloud
Friendly staff with little to no wait time. They get you in and out and it is a short wait before your glasses to arrive.

My experience at family eye care was fantastic! When I broke my glasses, I was worried that I wouldn’t find somewhere that had available slots. I explained to them my circumstances, and they were extremely communicative and fast with their process. While in the clinic, the location was very clean and the staff were very friendly. Ms. Kindyl and Dr. B were very helpful as they led me through my appointment. Ms. Kindyl told me about their new machines and equipment as she help me with my pre-screening, which are all very well kept. Overall a great experience, I highly recommend going here!

Erick Stallings
I have been searching for an optometrist and brought my mom and daughter here. Everything was so well run with no waiting. Dr. B was extremely thorough and very knowledgeable in assessing my 8 year old and my 76 year old mom. We have found a great doctor and look forward to coming back in the future.
Sara Samson

Gina Ann Riggs
My wait was less than a minute. They did a very thorough exam, answered all of my questions, and I was out within 45 minutes.
Garrett Carson
I absolutely love the new eye doctor. She is amazing. The rest of the medical staff is just as good as the doctor I highly recommend family eye clinic to anyone.
Amber Cronan
All the staff is amazing! Doctor Bugneske is the BEST! She took time to discuss all my concerns for my daughter and even called her insurance to get them to cover her thinner lens because they were making her glasses fall off from the weight of her thick lenses. We were able to pick out a pair of glasses we both loved too! Thank you for going above and beyond for me and Jennalee today. She is anxiously waiting to sport her new frames.

We have been using Family Eye Clinic for years and the entire staff is wonderful. They are always running on time and efficient. The new location across the street from old location is clean and organized. Thank you 😊
Felicia Sheely
my eye visit was excellent finally felt like a person and nota number, my eye doctor found the root of my problem now I see why they calledit FAMILY eye clinic☺️
Lorie Jordan
The girls and Dr. are amazing with my 9 and 6 year old!! I feel so comfortable letting one go in at a time without me when the kids want to do it by themselves or they are so sweet enough to let us all stay together even though im sure its easier one at a time for them. They had such a hard time getting a pressure reading with my daughter because of her long eye lashes and she never got upset or frustrated with the girls trying until they got it. Thats just how comfortable they make them feel. That means alot! I have never taken them anywhere else and wont! I love it here!
Kelly Hensler
There are a lot of eye clinics/eye doctors in
the area, and my family and I have been to pretty much all of them. None even compare to Family Eye Clinic. So we all see them now! Wonderful customer service at the front desk. They always answer your call (also not leaving you sit on hold forever). The two doctors there are amazing! They are both pleasant, thorough and listen to your input and needs. And to top it all off, they have a brand new beautiful office!
Definitely give them a try
Alissa Larreta
The front office staff were very friendly and helpful. The doctor was great as well!
S. Coleman
My daughter and I have been coming to this office for several years and we love everything about it. The staff and doctors are amazing!
Heidi Bailen
This place is great. I always get in within 5 minutes of arrival and the staff is very knowledgeable and caring. And, they explain the procedures and results of our eye exam thoroughly. Me and my son both get our exams and glasses here. Highly recommend.
Colleen Bryan
This is my 2nd time visiting Family Eye Clinic…the first was with my daughter and I was so impressed, I decided to visit them for my own needs.

All of our doctors are certified in the detection and management of ocular disease, including glaucoma — so you can trust that nothing slips by.

Ocular Disease Detection & Management

Many serious eye conditions — including glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease — have no early warning signs. Regular comprehensive exams are your best defense. Dr. Bugenske is certified in the diagnosis and management of ocular disease and uses advanced imaging technology to catch problems early and monitor them closely over time.

Eye Care for Kids

Children rarely know when their vision isn’t right — because they’ve never known anything different. Our pediatric exams are thorough, gentle, and designed to put kids at ease. We check far more than just distance acuity, and if glasses are needed, we carry a great selection of durable kids’ frames they’ll actually want to wear.

Learn About Pediatric Eye Care

Contact Lenses, Made Easy

We fit all types of contact lenses — including specialty and hard-to-fit options — and make reordering simple through our online partner YourLens.com. After your exam, we register your prescription directly so you can place your order in just a few clicks. No faxing, no hassle — just great vision delivered to your door.
