I called this morning and was able to get an appt for my elderly mother. Everything was exceptional starting with scheduling, reception, the initial work up with Taylor, Dr V and the wonderful young woman (her name has slipped my mind) who helped with ordering new lenses. They were able to work with my mother to make it affordable for her. Everyone was so patient with her. Highly recommend!

Today was my first visit and they will now be my new eye care office. All of the staff was absolutely wonderful and Dr. V was awesome. If you are looking for exceptional eye care you need to see the team at Low Country Eye Care in Crowfield.

I had a great experience here today. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming. Dr. Wasack was amazing and showed genuine interest while discussing my vision. The main reason I was searching for a new provider was because my previous provider had become very utilitarian and corporate, making me feel like simply a customer to be shuffled through the processes. That was not the case at Lowcountry Eye Care - Goose Creek. Here it was much more of a friendly, neighborly atmosphere. I beleive I have found my new vision provider. Thank you for the great experience.
