Dr. Kelly's beside manner and thoroughness is unmatched. His calm demeanor and extensive training give assurance that you are in the best hands. His office is easy to access with free parking, and his staff is friendly and helpful.

After being born with hereditary cataracts and losing one eye at 12 years old, I waited until my other eye was at 20/100 before searching for a surgeon. Dr Kloess did my surgery and I'm now 20/20 and my life has changed dramatically. He's the Best !

This is my 2nd eye that Dr Kloess has done. He and his staff are always very friendly, professional and Efficient. They put you at ease before the surgery. Most important I have had perfect results with both surgeries. My vision is great with no discomfort. I can recommend Dr Kloess wholeheartedly.

My first visit was yesterday. I drove from Decatur. I found this place from an online search. The location is great and very easy to find. The office was very clean & presentable. The receptionist was welcoming and friendly. The Technician (Ray) was also extremely kind and helpful. I’m glad that I chose AVC. My visit was with Dr. Kloess. He was very pleasant, honest, knowledgeable, attentive and thorough. I’m experiencing red eyes along with some crusting. He examined my eyes very carefully, ran some tests and shared information with me that I had never received from my optometrist. He explained to me about my eye pressure and the effect it can have on my eyes. He sent me home with some drops. I will go back in a few months to see if there’s any changes. I am so glad that I found The Alabama Vision Center and that I was connected with Dr. Kloess. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!

Dr not friendly/personable. Had to wait over 8wks to get my glasses only to find out my prescription was incorrect. Told the mgr I no longer wanted the glasses & they still only gave me $30 of my $40 out of pocket back AFTER they'd already gotten paid by my eye insurance...beware

We have been going to see Dr. Mike for a long time. Always quick and competent service. He always does a great job along with his staff. I highly recommend them!

My girlfriend says that Michael Kwarcinski is great. Wonderful eye doctor, but it ends there. The office is terribly ran. If you went to another doctor's office and ordered blood pressure medicine through them, you could expect they would … More

I’ve been a patient of University Optometric Group Uab since 1982. 40 years later, I am a patient of my Original doctor. She steered me through more attempts to try contacts than I can remember and was always patient with me. She has talked me through radial keratotomy And why I will still need to wear glasses after the procedure. She also cared for my mother, father, brother, niece, wife, husband (Yes, you have read that correctly), and both of my sons. At one point in my life two years back, Rather than see my regular doc associated with Uab and still teaching, I was examined by an optometrist associated with a high-end eyewear shop which I thought would be just fine. It wasn’t fine. Ending up with a $1200 pair of glasses I could only read my computer. I realized that eye exam had actually led me down a road Towards purchasing eyewear which was really worthless to me for seeing almost anything else. I could not read road signs. Lesson learned. Big mistake. Now I know why my regular eye doctor would always ask if what A was clearer or just smaller and darker then B? I don’t think I’m gonna trust my eyes, as I age to anyone outside of Uab optometric. I appreciate all of the excellent care provided these 40 years. Thank you! and Rosa, you run the whole place and always have! We all love you!

BY FAR THE NICEST.....MOST COURTEOUS.... PROFESSIONAL STAFFS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED.. .AND I FOUND SOME PRETTY UNIQUE GLASSES.,,,,.LUVED IT!! :-)

My husband and I have been patients for many years. We have always received excellent care of our vision health needs. One year we chose to go for our annual vision exams at a practice closer to our home. But quickly decided we are willing to travel a much greater distance in order to be provided care that we know is comprehensive from providers we have complete trust and confidence in.

Dr. McClintock and the team at VisionFirst are so nice. They were short-handed the day of my appointment but no one was snippy or hateful, just kept things moving along. I definitely feel like they appreciate me as a patient.
