What patients say

An older woman with short gray hair and round glasses smiles at a counter in an optical shop.
  • Dr. Brandvold put the pictures of the back of my eye on the screen and showed me exactly what she was watching.

    Sample review

  • I had given up on contacts after two tries elsewhere. Dr. Ellery tried three lens types with me and explained why each one felt different.

    Sample review

  • My daughter picked her own frames and Lucinda made sure they actually stayed on. Wednesday evening appointments saved us from pulling her out of school.

Meet Dr. Brandvold

I want you to leave knowing what I saw in your eyes, not just a new prescription.

Dr. Brandvold opened the practice in 2014. She does most of the full eye exams and runs the Tuesday dry eye clinic.

Why patients stay

  • You see what the doctor sees

    Your retinal photos go up on the exam room screen, and the doctor walks you through them.

  • Glasses fitted down the hall

    Lucinda, our optician, works ten steps from the exam rooms. Adjustments are free, for any frames.

  • A late day every week

    Open until 7 pm on Wednesdays, so nobody misses school or work for an exam.

Questions patients ask

Folded glasses on a notebook beside a cup of coffee by a window

Do you take my vision insurance?

We take VSP, EyeMed, Davis Vision and Spectera, plus Medicare and Florida Blue for medical eye visits. Call with your card and we check your benefits.

What is the difference between vision and medical insurance?

Vision insurance covers a routine exam and part of your glasses or contacts. Medical insurance covers an eye problem, such as an infection, dry eye or diabetes. We tell you which applies before you come in.

Can I drive after my eyes are dilated?

Your vision is blurry and bright light is uncomfortable for several hours. It may not be safe to drive, so please bring a driver. Bring sunglasses too.
