My daughter and I had such a wonderful experience at our eye appointment. We were met with such friendly, caring faces!!! We saw Dr. Salter and her amazing staff. Felt so comfortable with our eye care and they are very passionate about their jobs! Jeana was hilariously honest with her opinion on picking our glasses. I LOVED her honesty. Everyone there was amazing and so friendly. They were also very upfront with the pricing/cost of services, which was a nice change. No surprises. Would definitely recommend this practice.

I have been coming to Lowcountry Eye Care for years. Based on the days that I make my appointment I don't always see the same doctor.That being said, I have always had a great experience, whether it was with Dr.Pitcavage,Dr.Shealey or Dr. McCormack. Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Vitta.She made me feel right at home during my visit and was able to help and advise me with some of my allergy concerns.I would also like to thank Shanna for being so patient with helping me pick out the right frames. She was right about which frames to choose and I am happy with the choices that I made. Thanks to Morgan for explaining all about the floaters.I can't imaging going anywhere else for my eye care needs. SG

If you need an eye doctor, look no further! This place has it all: friendly staff, yep! Updated technology, yep! Large selection of frames for any budget, yep! Petting zoo, ye……!! okay…they don’t have a petting zoo. They are extremely thorough and make sure that you get the best solution for your peepers. I’ve seen lots of the doctors since I’ve been going there, most recently; Dr Vitta - and she was awesome!
