"I had an outstanding experience at BetterVision Family Eye Care. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcomed and taken care of — their customer service is truly excellent. A special thank you to Dr. Richardson, who handled my eye exam with incredible professionalism and patience. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood my options. It’s rare to find an optometrist who combines expertise with such a friendly, down‑to‑earth approach."

"Dr. Richardson and his staff were absolutely amazing. Dr. Richardson was extremely thorough and took the time to make sure my prescription was perfect—my vision is crystal clear. The entire team was kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. His medical assistant was especially patient and helped me choose the perfect frames for my face. He also got me into a new brand of contacts that are absolutely amazing and don't make me "aware" or annoyed by the presence of the contacts on my eyes. No other doctor has been able to do that before. I was seen on a Thursday morning and my glasses were ready by Tuesday—after more than 20 years of wearing glasses, I’ve never had glasses ready that fast. I’ll be switching my entire family over to Dr. Richardson’s practice. Highly recommend!"

"I found Dr. Richardson through my insurance company. I haven't seen the eye doctor in over 4 years...... I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS OFFICE! Stephanie has amazing customer service, she is thorough in explain prices and frames, lots of patiences and understanding to newbies to the eye doctors. Dr. Richardson was AMAZING! He is very thorough with his exams, explains everything through the exam, and has tons of patiences. I WOULD HIGHLY recommend this office to anyone!"

"I have never been fully able to see. Dr. Derek Richardson called me out on this pretty much immediately. He had me come to Better Vision so I could get a special scan on my eyes to see if I had Keratanosis, turns out I do. He fitted me with lenses and he and his staff fought with my insurance to get me contacts for 6 months. They just came in, I’ve had them for a week and I promise you I have never been able to see like this until now. I can actually see! It’s quite amazing, I didn’t even know I could see like this. I am unbelievably grateful! Amazing care and comfortable environment! Highly recommend!!!"

"This is truly the place to go for your eye exam and vision needs! Always greeted warmly by the receptionist and they made sure I was happy with my eyeglasses after 2 attempts to get it right-/AT NO CHARGE. If you’re looking for a one-stop shop for your eyes, search no more!!"
