Advanced Family Vision Care

First time getting a thorough eye exam, and only need minor corrective glasses if I’d like. Advanced Eye Care was extremely helpful. They were flexible when I needed to reschedule. They explained everything during the exam and answered all my questions. I felt calm and comfortable the whole time.
They allowed me to browse their glasses selection without any pressure to buy. They priced the glasses I was interested in and noted them in my chart if I want to come back and order those glasses. I also have a copy of my prescription so I can go elsewhere, but since they were so nice, helpful and reasonable I’m sure I’d buy glasses through them.

I have not been to an eye doctor in almost 20 years, so imagine my anxiety when looking for one and the dread of getting an eye exam. I turned to Unilocal to help me out, and was immediately persuaded by the amazing reviews for Dr. May at Advanced Family Vision Care.
The process for making an appointment was very easy. I printed the patient forms from online in advance to help ease the check in process. I was warmly greeted at arrival (Dr. May checked me in, I did not know this at the time but she was great!) and waited briefly in the clean, spacious waiting room.
The overall exam was a breeze. Brooke, my technician, made me feel very comfortable and thoroughly cleaned all instruments before use. She explained the process thoroughly and was very nice. Dr. May put all of my anxious feelings at ease– she was very thorough and wanted to know if I had any questions for her. Overall, I was very pleased with this practice and look forward to my next visit!

Hands down the most thorough and informative eye exam I have ever had. I can’t say enough great things about the care and professionalism of Dr. May and her staff. I am one of those people who dreads the eye doctor more than the dentist. I hate the up-​selling and often distant bedside manner of the doctors and their support staff. Dr. May’s practice proves that you shouldn’t generalize, as they were the exact opposite of what I have experienced in the past.
Dr. May thoroughly examined my overall eye health, even letting me know some interesting facts about my own eye development that she could see as part of her examination. When the appointment was complete, they walked me through exactly what my insurance would cover with my eyeglass purchase and what they wouldn’t, as well as what insurance covered for the appointment itself (please note that contact consultation is rarely covered by insurance, so expect to pay that out of pocket). The selection of eye glasses there is very high end with a plethora of designer names, you will be paying a grip for them, BUT they are worth it. Since my eyes were dilated and I didn’t want to commit to a pair I couldn’t fully see and appreciate at the time, I told them I would come back and they let me know they would happily fit me then.
Looking forward to seeing the ladies there again and picking their brains on which pair will look the best on me ;)

It feels good to have eye care at a private practice where the doctor displays genuine care in her work. Customer service from the front desk and the doctor herself couldn’t be better. I would recommend this practice to everyone.

To be very honest it was by pure luck that I ended up seeing Dr. May. I needed an Optometrist close to home but I did not know anyone that could refer one. I arbitrarily picked Advanced Family Vision Care via the Internet. It was an excellent choice and I highly recommend them. The entire staff was very professional and they use state of the art equipment which was important to me and necessary for an accurate eye examination. I am happy with my new eye glasses and I will definitely go back in the future.

I brought my 4 yr old daughter to see Dr. May and her staff for her first eye exam. I can not say enough nice things about our whole experience. The technician was so great with her and very child friendly. Dr. May was wonderful with her and was very informative and did a great job explaining everything to my daughter during the exam. My daughter did great through out the entire exam. We will be returning and our entire family will be using Adanced Family Vision Care. Thank you again for making a nervous mommy/​daughter experience a very great and comfortable one. My daughter said «I love going to the eye doctor» :)

I visited Dr. May a couple of weeks ago for an eye exam and new glasses. I actually saw her two years prior in her old office, and even though the new office is a bit far from where I live (West Baltimore), it’s definitely worth the drive. Dr. May is second to none in her attention to detail and, if you will, exam chair-​side manners. I’ve worn glasses for 20 years and I can’t remember anyone being as thorough and knowledgeable as her. She doesn’t just go through the motions like a lot of doctors; you can tell that she genuinely cares about what she does. Dr. May is always happy to answer her patients’ questions and make sure they understand the process as well as eye health in general. Like another reviewer said, she takes the time to find out more about her patients to help her select the best course of action. Since I sit in front of a computer all day, she recommended I get the blue light blocking lens to make it easier on my eyes, and that made a noticeable difference.
The new office is indeed very nice; there’s even a Keurig machine for those early morning appointments! Exam rooms are clean and everything seems to be laid out very well. There is a very good selection of frames; maybe not be as many as at a LensCrafters but there is a great range of brands and styles. I tend to be picky when it comes to frames and ended up getting two great looking pairs (sunglasses and regular). The staff is very courteous, professional, and helpful, going the extra mile to adjust the frame to sit perfectly level on my face.
All in all, I highly recommend Dr. May and her team, and will definitely be going back.

I visited Advanced Family Vision Care a couple of weeks ago for an exam, new glasses, and contact lenses cleaning. It was a great experience. Scheduling an appointment was very simple. The staff and Dr. May were great– professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I really appreciate the time Dr. May took in explaining everything. She took into account my lifestyle to suggest contact lenses that were more comfortable, easier to maintain, and more cost-​effective in the long run. Plus, they have a huge glasses selection!

I went to see Dr. May shortly after having a nasty car accident that caused me to begin experiencing headaches and tunnel vision. Dr. May ran an astounding number of tests to check for a variety of potential problems and issues, spending a great deal of time explaining the tests and their purpose as well as going over the results with me — Dr. May’s depth of knowledge and expertise were clearly evident.
In an age when most doctors seem to spend the least amount of time possible with a patient, I found Dr. May’s willingness to invest dedicated time and attention to be greatly refreshing. I would, without hesitation or reservation, recommend Advanced Family Vision Care for whatever your eye care needs might be.

I went to Advanced Family Vision Care a few weeks ago for an annual exam and new glasses and couldn’t have been more pleased with my experience. The staff and Dr. May were very knowledgeable. And Dr. May took the time to fully explain each of the tests to me and their purpose. After my exam, I enjoyed the large selection of glasses that I was able to try on without any purchase pressure from the staff. I’ll definitely be going back to this place for my future eye care needs.
