Dr. Steven D. Gerber

I have been diagnosed with an eye condition when i was 2 years old. I've been to many eye different eye doctors through my many years. I have to say that this was the best experience I've ever had during an eye exam. Dr. Gerber was very through and explained everything to me in a very thoughtful way. I haven't felt this cared for with my eyes since i was a kid. They also have a very expansive collection of eye glasses for every budget. The turn around is quick Overall such an incredible experience. I highly recommend Dr. Gerber Eye Care!

This was my second visit and this time I brought my daughter. The new office is very nice! Dr. Gerber is very knowledgeable and this helps because he breaks things down in a way that makes sense. He was kind to my daughter and took the time to educate her even explaining additional info. He taught me a lot in my short visit that will support how I use my glasses and more importantly his office team is consistent. Each member is professional and patient!

-->> When you arrive, park in the back and enter the back entrance facing Cottage Grove. You just make a left from the hall. Ring the bell at the reception counter before you take a seat. Dr. Gerber is very kind, helpful MD and Army Veteran. His dedication to his community, country and medical training extends into his optometry practice. He took the time to understand my vision needs, and answered all my questions with patience. His practice combines professional expertise with a warm, caring environment, making every visit not just about eye care but about feeling valued. Highly recommend for anyone in need of an optometrist who genuinely cares about their patients. I loved that he had state of the art equipment and he was able to make lenses for my frames on sight. I used to have to get lenses shipped out and wait almost a month to get my prescription filled. Dr. Steve hooked me up by putting progressive lenses in my Tom Ford eyeglasses. I have 2020 distant vision but I need reading glasses and it's so nice to wear these all day. It's exactly what I wanted.

I recently had an appointment here and, while I appreciate the staff fitting me in, my experience wasn't quite what I expected. I didn't receive a reminder or text notification--just a call a few hours before my appointment. When I arrived, the waiting area felt a bit uninviting, and since the glass is painted, you have to ring a doorbell to let them know you've arrived. During my visit, things felt rushed. I even had to remind them that I was there to pick out new glasses, which was the main reason for my appointment. Even for an eye doctor's office, the experience felt impersonal--the doctor barely made eye contact while speaking and spent most of the time facing away from me, which made the appointment feel disconnected. Although this is a new location, it still carries the same atmosphere as the old one. The customer service was okay overall, but one staff member seemed to have an attitude, which made things a bit uncomfortable. I understand everyone has off days, but maintaining professionalism makes a big difference in patient care. I hope the office can improve communication and create a more welcoming experience for future patients, but unfortunately, I'll be looking for a different eye doctor moving forward.

I went to Dr. Gerber for help becausea prior pair of progressives from Target Optical weretoo strong and I needed help. I must say, the experience was exceptional with my vision testing. Not only does he offer an outstanding array of designer glasses, but his genuine care for his patients truly stands out. I didn't think he would have frames to fit my quirky style, but they nailed it with the current trends. The tech helped me pick out the perfect pair of glasses that matched both my style and extreme prescription needs. The selection of designer frames is impressive, providing options for everyone, whether you're looking for luxury or just something unique....treated yourself! My eyesight is on the bad side so I got the works done. When I was in the waiting room, I looked up what I got: Eye Health Technology: The optician prides itself on employing cutting-edge technology for eye health assessments. They provide detailed scans that can detect issues like glaucoma, cataracts, or macular degeneration early. The technology includes: - Digital Retinal Imaging: For detailed views of the back of the eye, helping in early detection of eye diseases. Visual Field Testing: To assess peripheral vision, crucial for diagnosing conditions like glaucoma. - OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography): Provides high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina, useful for monitoring changes in eye health over time.

Dr. Gerber is a wonderful doctor. My whole family goes there. I love the service and he's always helpful with helping us get glasses and doing our exams. Some of the staff is rude, but the females are wonderful.

Dr. Gerber was very polite and professional. He listened carefully and explained everything clearly. The visit was efficient and well organized.

As a Quality professional, my standards and opinions are on the hardcore side. After my visit here on 12/3, I would say they are a great group with very good service. Give them a try.
