Berry Eyecare and Optical

This review is not for the staff. They’re nice enough and dr. Berry is very nice. What I have an issue with is going in for a yearly exam and it costing $ 244. and then them telling me I’ve also had a «contact fitting» I’ve worn contacts for 18 years. There wasn’t a fitting, just simply looking at a lesser prescription in my eye. One eye. I don’t believe I should have to pay for that as a «fitting» time to find a new eye doctor that doesn’t charge for a «fitting» and just a year exam instead

5 starts right off the bat.
You walk into a warmly, but brightly, lit waiting area accompanied by free water, coffee, and tea! The receptionists were welcoming and pleasant, and they have great waiting room chairs!
I really just had a great experience and overall painless exam. I will definitely go back and refer them to my friends.
Oh, and they also do price matching with their contacts! I think that’s a great thing to offer their clients.

Years ago I needed a new contact lens prescription and found a near by optometrist, Walked into the office and met Mrs. Amanda Berry who has guided me through my sightly needs for about 10 years now.
At the time I had no insurance and Dr. Berry helped me to afford having a professionals attention and assistance, later Dr. Berry found that I have a serous and rare eye condition, she worked with me through modern medicine and even to my surprise and pleasure she offered natural healing alternatives.
When your doctor cares enough to personally call to check on you or keep you informed about tests results, you have been luck enough to have found a caring and passionate professional, do yourself a favor and keep that doctor.
Thank You Dr. Berry and your wonderful Staff too !

I went here for a simple contact fitting. After one week in my contacts, they still did not feel right so I called to see if they would see me again and if so, how much the fee would be. I went back one week later and Dr. Berry herself made sure to perform multiple unnecessary procedures because she was under the impreession my health insurance would pay for it. The best example is she took unnecessary pictures of both of my eyes with her expensive camera without first asking me and without telling me what the charge would be. This is a critical time for many people. Unfortunately this is what is wrong with our health care system, providers are overcharging to make a buck. Whether my insurance had paid or not, these costly procedures just added up to someone’s bottom line. In this case mine.

A visit to Dr. Berry is like a catch-​up visit with a girlfriend who just happens to be asking you to read numbers and letters on the wall. Even with my irrational fear of any medical professional, I have never felt nervous or uncomfortable there. The whole staff is wonderful; they are always upbeat, eager to help and they genuinely care.
They get you in and out as quickly as possible while still doing a thorough job. These people really know their stuff.
The office is very cute and trendy. It’s in a great location in the Green Bank building in Green Hills.
They have a great selection of frames, including designer labels. They’ve never steered me wrong with a frame suggestion. They take their time to help you pick something that is in your price range and looks great on you — they’re like my personal face stylists.
I’ve been a loyal patient of Dr. Berry’s for years and will continue to be for as long as we are both in Nashville!

It’s pretty weird to write a Unilocal review on an eye doctor and optical place, but being as how being blind as a bat is a factor in my existence and I’ve been looking for a place to call my optical needs ‘home’ for the entire 11 years I’ve lived in Nashville — I felt I should give Dr. Berry and her crew a shout out.
This place is tucked above the Green Bank building in Green Hills, but instead of a bland doctors office interior these ladies have spiced things up with super cute décor as a cross between Vera Bradley and your hipster cousin’s place. They carry posh brands you’d expect from Green Hills — Coach, Vera Wang… blah blah blah. But with your trusty insurance card it shouldn’t set you back too badly! And, if like me, you actually need glasses — it’s a nice feeling to have some stylin’ specs!
The service is great! Nothing gets my blood pressure up like waiting in a doctors office. From the moment I walked in the door and filled out my paperwork I was getting my check up within 5 minutes! I feel like the good doctor is bright and efficient — beware you cannot get anything past her — she knows if you’ve been treating your disposable contacts like second corneas. She is also personable.
The girls at the front desk are really friendly and good at helping you pick out a flattering pair for your face. Most importantly they are really thorough in going over your insurance with you and helping you pick out something affordable and going with the features you really need — not just an up sell. I always feel like cheesy chains work on commission, but if these ladies do — you would never know!
Overall I do think since they carry ‘green hills friendly’ brands that it may cost you a little more than wal-​mart or another chain, but the personal service and expertise of the staff was worth it to me. And my glasses are super cute!
