I had my first appointment with Dr. WIlkemeyer, and I have to say I was not pleased with the attitude the doctor and his assistant had towards me. Dr. Wilkemeyer does not seem to enjoy working there and in fact spoke frequently about how he is looking forward to retiring. His ‘bed side’ manner is sub par and when we began my eye examination, he took out my contacts with his fingers, without asking me before hand! I’m not certain whether this practice is common among eye doctors, but I would rather NOT have someone in my eyes like that. I called a few days later to query about my prescription(which the office did not give to take with me after the exam) and before the assistant would give me the information, she said the office HAD to know, whether I liked the trial contacts they gave me(what?). The assistant was rude and abrupt over the phone and hung up very sharply. I was thoroughly disappointed with my visit and my experience with Dr. Wilkemeyer as the rest of the reviews at the time were glowing! I would NOT reccomend Dr. Wilkemeyer and am going to be looking for another eye care professional.

I would highly recommend Dr Wilkemeyer. I came to him after years being at Lenscrafters. I was never happy with how I was seeing. Dr Wilkemeyer is very thorough. He took a long time on my first appointment, tweaking my prescription. And also in my follow up appointment(which was no extra charge. All part of the initial). I will be sticking with him for years to come!

Dr. Wilkemeyer is not only a very nice guy, but the best optometrist, with the most, state of the art technology of any eye doctor I’ve ever seen. This makes going to the eye doctor a very pleasant experience — which in the past I’ve kind of avoided. I hated getting my eyes dilated but with the equipment he uses there is just no need for that. In addition, I have never had to wait in his waiting room at all. He is always on time and never leaves you waiting IN his office while some technician takes values which he is only going to repeat. He is incredibly friendly and the chit-chat makes the appointment go by way too fast. I mean you are in and out in 30 minutes unless you want to buy new frames which I am ALWAYS happy to do thanks to his brilliant assistant who I’m sure he’s not paying enough :). She is like a private consultant at Nordstrom’s. You can really trust her when it comes to eyewear and let’s face it, what you put on your face is as important as a haircut, right? I send as many people as I know to Dr. Wilkemeyer! You cannot Lose! Did I mention that he really cares about you? Julie Calvey

Bob has been our O.D. for quite some time. He is extremely thorough in his exams and doesn’t quit until you’re completely satisfied with the results. Appointments are generally easy to get. His assistant, Kelly, is a wonderful receptionist. She’s genial and always manages to laugh at the stupid things I do… like leaving with great confidence without my box of contacts, etc. Sigh. Good thing I’m close by! Yes 5 stars for sure. But if I could, I’d like to give him six or seven.

Dr. Wilkemeyer was wonderful to work with. I had my two boys with me, and he explained and showed them what he was doing. He even let my 3 year old press the button to scan my 6 year old’s retinas. The office was also willing to rebill for my contacts and eye exam after I forgot to use my HSA the first time. I will definitely be back as a regular customer.

The Dr. And his assistant were very kind and helpful. Dr. Wilkemeyer was wonderful with my young, nervous son. It was his first eye exam and the Dr. dealt well with my son’s overly dramatic reactions to the exam. He was wonderful with my husband and I. He explained our son’s results and made us very comfortable. Worth the extra drive for a great Dr.

I’ve been coming to see Dr. Wilkemeyer with my siblings since I was a little girl. Although I live in the city now, I still come back to Hinsdale to come see Dr. Wilkemeyer and Kelly! They are both so great – Kelly helps you pick out the perfect glasses and Dr. Wilkemeyer is always easy to talk to while he examines your eyes. It is a great place that I will continue to come visit and maybe even bring my kids someday!

Love Dr. Wilkemeyer and his assistant Kelly! Thrilled to be able to get rid of my reading glasses with a one time fitting of bi focal contacts. I normally only wear my contacts, but Kelly helped me find some frames from their large selection I actually like wearing. Love the Retinal camera that takes pictures of the back of my eye, feel like I’m getting thorough exam to make sure my eyes are healthy.

1 or 2? 3 or 4? Going to the eye doctor is usually a pain, but I’ve been going to Avenue Eyecare for the past few years. They were a mile down the road from my office and took my insurance. What more could you ask for? It has been relatively easy to setup an appointment that was convenient to me versus setting one up 2 months in the vague future. Dr. Wilkemeyer is friendly and helpful. The office has a new machine that takes a picture of your retina. I find these are great conversation starters for my dates. «Would you like to see my retinas?» Their frame selection is pretty expansive and Colleen is super helpful in giving you style advice. My contact orders have always come back quickly. Stop by Avenue Eyecare for your next check up and see the difference.
