Don K Steensma, OD FAAO

I needed glasses because my eye sight got worse recently and I was scared to drive night time (I think it’s because I’m getting old… but also I was afraid if it might be an initial symptom of serious disease) so I went to see this doctor.
The reasons I decided to try him were…
1. This place was the closest optometrist from my place.
2. Reviews were very good.
3. I could use my insurance.
As a result, I think I made a good decision. The staff and doctor were very friendly and nice.
I’m not a native speaker but didn’t have any problems in whole process.
I did eye check but also did the screening they recommended.
I heard that the screening tells you in very early stage if there is something wrong with your eyes, and I felt relief at knowing my eyes were ok after the screening.
They are selling some glasses but I found one at another store incidentally when I went shopping, so I asked them to write a prescription and bought the glasses at the store.

Dr. Steensma does an outstanding job of explaining everything he is doing, and never seems like he is rushing to get to the next patient. He takes whatever time is necessary and answers all of your questions thoroughly.

Dr. Steensma and his staff are wonderful and take excellent care of the vision needs for my husband and myself. We look forward to our annual check ups because they have the latest equipment to check our vision so we know that we’ll always get the correct diagnosis while there. Great doctor, staff and all around good experience! We hope Dr. Steensma doesn’t retire for ages!

Everyone is very nice and very professional. They make sure you feel comfortable and well taken care of.

It meant a lot that both Dr. Steensma and the staff cared so much for me and my sister when we went in as first time patients. Dr. Steensma is very thorough and did a great job of explaining my overall eye health to me. The front desk staff was friendly, professional, helpful and made this first time experience great!

Friendly, efficient and always informative. Received new glasses in a very timely manner. Highly recommend for regular eye care.

Rooms are clean. Staff is amazing and friendly I love this place I’ve been to to few places before and I’ve never been happy! He’s funny and he eats a mint before getting so close to your face lol. It might seem like a small thing but trust me there are a ton of optometrists with bad breath. He takes the time to talk to you and explain everything to you. He never rushes you and answers all of your questions. He’s awesome!!! His staff is amazing and I didn’t feel like I was being judged for not wearing my glasses. He preformed more tests than I’ve ever had before and I’ve been wearing glasses for my whole life!!!

Great service! Friendly staff as always! Love talking to them and making jokes. Very clean, patient, they take there time in helping each and every person. Love coming here!

The staff and doctors at this office are always very pleasant and efficient, you never have to wait long before your seen. They take time with each patient ensuring you don’t feel rushed. I also appreciate the follow up reminders for my appointments. Thank you!

As an ophthalmologist, I have worked with Dr. Steensma for over 20 years caring for patients together. He is one of the most talented optometrists that I have ever worked with, both in terms of his professional expertise as well as the customer service that he provides. The patients that we share are uniformly happy with his service in providing general eye exams, glasses and contacts as well as post-​surgical care for LASIK and cataract surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Steensma and his practice

Great service! Definitely looking forward to coming back! I highly recommend Dr. Steensma and his staff!!!

Had a pleasant experience at this office, Krystal was very helpful and patiently helped me filter through tons of glasses until I found just the right one. My only downside was after my glasses were priced and ordered I received a call stating that they were actually more than what I was originally told and when I asked if they could help me out by honoring the original price given they stated they could not. It wasn’t a huge difference so I was able to pay it but I would’ve been more satisfied if they could’ve worked with me from a customer service standpoint and given me the glasses at the originally stated price.

Exceptional staff (Krystal, Pearl). Great front office. Truly appreciated that Dr S was able to get me in on an emergency consult within minutes and treat me as if I was his most important patient. Truly put my mind at ease in diagnosing my eye condition until I can see my regular doctor. His professionalism, knowledge, and demeanor make him am excellent choice for the day I choose to change doctors. He also stays on top of his field and on top of rapid changing technology. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an optometrist in VTA county.

Very impressed! Friendly staff, clean office and Dr Steensman is incredibly welcoming. My first visit there and I plan on bringing my whole family to be seen by this amazing team of professionals. Very thorough with my eye exam and explained everything in detail. Thank you!

Once again, great service. Esp Dawn. Adjusted frames once, haven’t had to fiddle with them in over 12 hours.

Dr is great the staff is wonderful and friendly my visit was great the Dr is great and professional explains everything and anything in a way anyone can understand so caring and considerate of the needs of the patients will recommend him to family and friends

Dr. Steensma and his staff are caring, knowledgable and experienced. Definitely go with him if you’re in the market for a new eye doctor. Heck, leave your current eye doctor just to go with him anyway! Best eye appointment experience ever!

I really appreciated the staff here. Everyone was friendly and patient. My young daughter was a bit wiggly trying to run tests, but they were very accommodating. Dr. Ross spent a lot of time making sure he had an accurate assessment for her prescription.
I would recommend this office to anyone. The only thing is, they don’t carry children’s glasses in the office, but they are willing to order them from a catalog.

My daughter goes here to get glasses, maybe contacts in the future (crossing my fingers), to get her eyes checked or glasses repaired. The staff here is friendly, welcoming and understanding. They are willing to help or answer any question you may have. Dr. Steensma is quirky, funny and makes you feel at home when your visiting. He often comes out from the back room to say hello and chat with the patrons waiting to be serviced.

This review is in regards to my experience shadowing Dr. Steensma. Not only was he professional and personable with his patients he was also very welcoming towards me encouraging me to ask questions and be engaged. I have shadowed 4 other doctors and I can say with confidence that my shadowing experience with him was my best. His staff was very friendly and knowledgable as well!
Thank you for having me!
