Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Well Explained
Got an appointment same day due to a recent eye problem. Office staff and Optometrist assistant were great. Not much waiting time in the lobby. Dr. Tisdale relieved my concerns and took his time in explaining the next step. Would recommend.

Great with kids
This was the first time my daughter visited an optometrist and so she was quite nervous. Everyone from the front desk to the assistant to Dr. Tisdale to the lady who helped my daughter select her glasses were all incredibly nice and helped settle my daughter’s nerves. Dr. Tisdale and his assistant were both thorough in all the parts of the exam, and they not only explained things to me, but included my daughter in the explanations and in a way that helped her understand. It was a completely positive experience. When we got home and called Grandma, we both told her how wonderful everyone was and my daughter said, “Everyone was patient with me.” I think that says a lot for a 10-year-old to recognize that about Dr. Tisdale and all the other staff we encountered.

Excellent service!
Even though there were several clients there the service was excellent and it didn’t take long before I was waited on. I was greeted warmly by the staff and Dr. Tisdale himself. Highly recommend their business for any type of eye problems!

The staff at Willmington Eye was awesome. Dr. Tisdale’s associate working with me prior to seeing the Dr was great, warm & friendly and very professional. The Dr answered all of my questions & even spoke to Dr Clark Springs on my behalf. I was extremely pleased with Dt. Tisdale & his staff. I will & have recommend him to other people already. My sister was very impressed with the visit also. I have not had an eye exam this thorough since my eye surgeon in Boise, ID. Thank you so much Dr Tisdale!!!

Excellent Service. Very through and detailed exam
Dr Tisdale and team was very much Involved in the initial interview/ exam. I have had many previous checkups and exams in Pinehurst, Albemarle, and Concord. This initial exam was by far much more intensive and comprehensive than any one of all the rest . He and his staff were much more complete and involved. Ron Smith

Excellent OD, skilled assessment, patient oriented
I had a pleasant visit at Wilmington Eye today. The staff were congenial and skilled. Dr Tisdale is an exceptional OD and after completing his exam/ assessment, he was thorough and skilled in explaining his findings. I felt he answered any questions I had to my satisfaction and was reassuring of my concerns. Very personable and just plain nice young man! I look forward to my next visit. Thank you Dr. Tisdale and staff for making my visit a pleasant experience.
