Western Carolina Eye Associates, PA

I'd give 10 stars if I could. I was on vacation in Banner Elk this past week. While there my eye situation became worse. I had gone to a quick care back home 2 weeks prior to my scheduled vacation where the Dr prescribed an eye drop that was incorrect. Went to my primary care physician for a referral to see an Opthalmologist.That appointment was set for the day after returning from vacation but I could no longer wait, I had to see an eye Dr immediately. My amazing Airbnb host found the Dr for me and they accepted my insurance! Dr. Blair Holden is phenomenal!!!! The eye drops she prescribed were already working within 2 applications! The staff was so nice and they got me in within hours of my call. I highly recommend them if you find yourself in need.

I would like to say thank you to Amber, the front desk receptionist, Ashley, Cassie, and there's one other girl that I am forgetting. My apologies. Western eye care has been amazing. They have provided excellent professional customer service. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who's looking for for an eye Doctor or glasses They will most definitely take care of you.

Great selection of frames even Medicaid frames. They even adjusted my glasses for free today. Thank you all so much., keep up the good work.

I recently visited WCEA in Banner Elk for my annual checkup. As always and gratefully, the lovely staff were there to assist me with each step. And the bonus is, the staff is the very same that took care of me the last three visits, Very nice to see little or no turnover. From the front desk to the closed door exam, everyone is friendly and accommodating. I love that it's a one stop experience. I was able to select reasonably priced frames from a wide selection and with my prescription in hand they did the rest!! I feel fortunate to have this team so close by to answer my vision needs. Thank you WCEA Banner Elk! D Mercer

The staff from beginning to end are just lovely. Amber was wonderful in scheduling appointments and answering my questions. Dr Holden and her team made my eye exam experience comfortable and finally working with Maria to see I had the right glasses was actually fun. And, of course, I love my glasses!!!

I want to commend and recommend Maria who is the optician at the Banner Elk office. I believe she fulfilled my need for two pairs of glasses with professionalism, courtesy, and personal warmth. She also made every effort to save me dollars which I appreciated.

I was hesitant to come here due to some of the awful reviews but gave it a shot since it is so convenient for me. I had a fabulous experience. My eye exam was thorough and I was listened to throughout the process. The Dr was very friendly and knowledgeable. I then got a fabulous deal on frames and lens packages (I only need glasses sometimes, so designer was not necessary). I was called when they were ready and the pick up was seamless. I will definitely return for my exams and future eyeglass needs.

If I could give 6 stars, this shop would deserve. From exams to optical services, they are professional, caring, and concerned about their customers vision help as well as their wallets. Maria's personality and perspective make her an invaluable asset to the business and sets the tone for the entire shop.
