Keep up the good work. Be encouraged everyday good or challenging because your service speaks volumes about your excellence."

"Really enjoyed this location. I've been to several Berkeley locations in the last 11 years and the Downtown team is by far the most efficient and most personable. Everyone from receptionist, the assistant and Dr. Obie was great. I was thrilled that they have the "dropless" glaucoma tests and imaging! I didn't have to get numbing drops. Amazing service."

"Dr. Spencer Obie is awesome!! He was working at a different location , when I became a patient. When I found out he relocated to Berkeley, I made an appointment at BEC downtown. He has always been very professional, patient and knowledgeable. I always feel free to voice any concerns or questions about the overall health of my eyes, exams, contacts, etc. And I feel like I learn something each visit. Additionally the entire staff was very friendly and helpful. It's obvious they strive to provide great customer service....mission accomplished and job well done!"

"Dr. Obie is very knowledgeable and he was so patient when he saw both my toddlers my children loved the experience they had."

"I came here due to having vision issues post-lasik. When I saw other doctors, it was just alluded as "dry eyes' which doesn't help my situation, but was not the only issue either. The staff at Berkeley were wonderful and answered every question I had. They were able to give me the answers no one else did. Brittany brought me into the room and gave me an eye exam to see where i was at and really listened to my needs/issues. Dr. Obi then came in, and was very thorough, kind, and informative. If you have any eye issues at all, or just need a checkup, I strongly recommend you visit this team and let them help you."

"Exactly staff did fantastic"

"I can't say enough about the staff, care and treatment I've received at Berkeley Eye Center at the Park Shops. Dr. Nikki Kokel is extremely personable and patient with me. I wanted to be fitted with contacts and didn't have a good experience with another doctor/facility. Dr. Kokel has been helping me navigate finding the right pair for my prescription. I work downtown, but Dr. Kokel also practices in the Pearland location. She's worth the extra effort to see."

"Great atmosphere. I always enjoy at looking at the picture of Houston on the wall. The staff if very friendly and helpful and the doctors I have seen since I started going to Berkeley are great and good at explaining the procedures and what is going on with my eyes."

"For the first time in life, I needed glasses! With the help from the VA, I was referred to this eye center. Now, the location is nostalgia because it's in the mall...I went in as a kid.....and it's not the same. But the clinic is nice and the staff is friendly. The optometrist is like a nurturing fourth grade teacher during an exam and that was relaxing since I haven't been for an exam in....well...! From exam to prescription to glasses was a great experience!"

"Always a great experience when visiting Berkeley in The Shops. Staff is very attentive and pleasant. Love going there for the newest frames!"

"I had a very positive experience today with my eye exam, and contact fitting. Dr. Kokel, OD was patient and kind. She explained everything thoroughly, and was very engaging. The technician who got me ready for my doctor, was equally kind and attentive. The staff was pleasant and a delight to work with, and provided me excellent customer service."

"I had a good experience at Berkeley. I had an eye exam and got fitted for glasses. Very friendly staff!"

"I have been going to this location for years! Still very clean and a great staff!"

"Berkeley eye center has been my go to location for my eye RX and any eye issues. They also performed my Lasik back in the day. I trust them more than any other optometrist I've ever been to. Their doctors are welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. I'm always in and out fast and they have the best selection of glasses. All around the best in their field."

"It was a great visit… great staff. They “opened” my eyes to new possibilities!"

"Had a great experience at Berkley Eye Center at The Shops Downtown. Dr. Groff and her staff are fabulous to work with. I used to see Dr. Groff at Memorial City. When she moved I moved with her. She's a great doctor! The staff are first rate. Excellent at providing customer service."

"Thanks so much for your great staff and her name is ciara a very great person god bless her and her family"

"Cierra and Sam we’re so helpful and knowledgeable about their practices. I was able to find a pair of glasses that fit just right and was able to place the order within minutes!"

"Thorough eye examinations, staff is friendly and covid19 safe. No longer will I go to department stores (target, Walmart, etc) for service as they will quickly get you in and out. Thorough Eye Examination!! I really felt like a person, not just $$ at Berkeley Eye Center Downtown Shops. My appointment was two days after my call. Dr. Nikki was the best, she talked me through each procedure, explained eye vessels and answered questions that I may had without feeling hurried which was very insightful (pun intended). Knowledgeable experience Highly recommended."

"Thank You Dr. Geoff for your OTC recommendations. "Pataday" eye drops are more than AMAZING. # berkeleyeyecenter. # Pataday eye drops"

"Always professional and friendly"

"I am a patient at the Wesleyan Office and they're always pleasant and understanding. If your appointment is at 1145, you will be seen at 1145 or 1150. Excellent! I was assisted by Jorge whom has been an opt tech for 9 years and i could tell he knew what he was doing. Definitely recommend"

"The staff and doctor were all extremely professional and friendly. Making an appointment for myself and my husband was easy and straightforward, even during Covid times. The person handling the frames even helped me pick out a pair! Honestly such a pleasant experience, I highly recommend this office!"

"I always enjoy seeing Dr. Groff! She's a great doctor and always puts me at ease. All of the staff members were friendly and helpful, but special thanks to Ciara, who helped me pick out glasses and was a pleasure to talk to. Highly recommend Berkeley!"

"I had a great experience with Dr. Caplan and the staff at Berkeley Eye Center. They have a good protocol in regards to COVID 19, which made me feel safe. Thanks! I will be back!"

"I like how safe the staff were in making sure anyone and everyone that comes in has to have a mask and get their temperature read. Ciara was very helpful when it came to choosing the style I was looking for and explained how much each plan would be. It was simple, in and out."

"Ciara was awesome she helped me get in and out quickly and safely, the whole process go smoothly thanks to her. Dr. Groff was very thorough, plus they're Astros fans!"

"I have been going to the Berkeley Eye Center at the Shops for the last 3 years. I see Dr. Kokel. She is absolutely PHENOMENAL! She puts you at ease during your eye exams and explains everything thing she is doing without rushing you. She is my favorite Eye Doctor for my eyes without a doubt. Her nurse that assists her I wish I knew her name she is amazing, too. She makes you feels at ease and answers all your crazy questions with patience before the Doctor sees you. She's AWESOME!! Then there is their AMAZING Floater Optician Mrs. Fletcher. She will help you pick at eye glasses that are best for your needs. She will help explain to you what your insurance covers and what are your options in purchasing your glasses. Then lastly, there are the front desk people who are super friendly and helpful to make sure you are checked in and ready for your visit. Berkley Eye Center at the Shops ROCKS!!! Thank you, all for ALL your hard work and dedication to your patients!! You are ALL very much appreciated!!"

"This was my eye center while living in Houston. They were great. Victoria remembered my name after only one visit and always made me feel welcome. They were also great about always getting me in and quickly ordering contacts. It really felt like a small town place even though it was in downtown."

"I have been going to the Downtown Berkeley Eye Center for the past 6 years. There has been turnover, but my reason for going to this Center is because of my interaction with Victoria and Dr. Holly Groff. Victoria makes this facility run smoothly, her stellar attitude, highly knowledgeable, professionalism and the interaction with ALL patients. Victoria is a role model for other employees in which they can emulate her. Her character and culture will always make me return to this Center. May she remain and we hope to never lose her. She's simply the best! Thank you."

"I have been a patient at Berkeley for many years and have to say Dr. Hollas is amazing. When I called to make my yearly eye exam and found that Dr. Hollas moves to the Clearlake office, I was so upset. I made an appointment anyway with Dr. Goff, and she is great! Everyone here has always been helpful, friendly and accommodating. When it came time to chose my frames and finalize everything Victoria M. was so helpful and gave me great suggestions. It was so reassuring that even though Dr Hollas was no longer there, the service and great staff still was. Thank you Dr Goff and Victoria for a great experience."

"The Ladies at the Shops Downtown were wonderful. I had a fantastic experience with 1st Class service. I had a new Dr. Nikki Kokel and she was very informative and helpful in checking my eyes with the upmost care to make sure I have the right prescription. I had a great time with Victoria in picking out glasses, I always like change and she was great to help me find exactly what I was looking for at a reasonable price. Thanks to everyone for a great experience."

"Victoria helped me with my selection of reading glasses and made my experience very pleasant. She is one of the nicest people you'll meet. Highly recommended to visit her for any of your vision needs"

"Very convenient location, for someone that works downtown and I easily connected through the tunnels - no additional driving or parking required. The staff were friendly and the doctor's assistant was very professional, listened to my concerns, and I could tell she enjoyed her profession. Dr. Hollas took the time to answer my questions and I felt like a valued patient."

"An Amazingly kind, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Everyone genuinely seemed to have my best interest in mind when searching for the perfect specs, not to forget about the care that preceded the final step in my appointment. Accommodating & Professional, I have a new eye care home."

"The downtown location has great customer service and selection of eye glasses. They will make sure you find the right fit of glasses for your face. . . . you will want new glasses every time you go visit! Thank you Ciera for all of you help today, you were great!"

"The downtown location has great customer service and selection of eye glasses. They will make sure you find the right fit of glasses for your face. . . . you will want new glasses every time you go visit!"

"I went in for my yearly eye exam and worked with John to decide on a new pair of glasses. I was looking for glasses very similar to the ones I had one. After trying on several different frames, I didn't find one that I really liked. John asked if I would like to see if my current pair was still available, it was! I love my new glasses!"

"Had a great experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The exam was quick, and the optometrist explained every step of the process and how my vision might change as I age. One team member, Ciara, was particularly helpful and knowledgeable when it came time to selecting my frames and lenses. She was charming, upbeat and honest about the products. Overall, I'd use their services again."

"Stopped in earlier this week for help determining if my new prescription glasses (bought elsewhere) were as off-balance as I thought they were. Not only did the Optician gentleman spend the time with me to review my records and the glasses, he helped me understand there were other items that were not quite right with the lenses that I would never have been able to determine on my own. In the process, he reviewed an optical promotion with me that I could benefit from with my remaining insurance coverage. The offer was exceptional and now I will have top of the line glasses and backup glasses through Berkeley. I would have wasted the benefits had he not taken the time to review my benefits. Many times people will answer your questions but not go beyond what you ask. I'm so glad he was proactive and willing to take the time not only to address my concerns with existing glasses I bought elsewhere, but put me into two new frames with all the extras!"

"I picked this location because I can walk there easily from home. I've been a patient here for a couple of years now. Dr. Hollas is who I usually see, and never rushes, is very thorough, and listens to your concerns. His staff is professional and help you with anything you need. As someone who works in healthcare, this is so nice to experience! Their glasses selection is also very modern and trendy, you will definitely find your next pair!"

"My entire experience was above average. The entire medical staff exceeded my expectations The First Class Service provided by all the Lady's in the office was Superb. From the very first interaction with Samantha on Oct 31 while making the appointment and verifying KelseySeybold Medicare Eye exam was an approved service to the date of the visit and checking in with Victoria, and Karen with their positive energy and professional attitude. Cecilia provided kind bedside manners in English and Maribel aiding with her warm and accurate Spanish interpretation. Dr. Cokle delivered the very best eye exam my mother has ever experienced Thank you all 7plus star rating i recommend Berkeley Eye to all i would also encourage senior leadership management to provide keurig single self serving 8oz coffee tea for all paying customers with fresh individually packaged cookies or pastries for paying customers only and in a reactive manner, meaning only for those paying customers who ask for drink and pastry This will give customer an additional inexpensive reason to COMPLETE survey and refined BerkleyEye to office collegues which will increase sales by 10 or 20 percent on 90 day period. Food for thought. Consider it a gift from Miguel for the Grrreat service recieved"

"EXCELLENT experience all around. Great staff. 5 stars reserved for locations that explain the impact of everything they offer on your overall payment."

"My mother selected the Downtown Shops location because she needed to see an eye doctor right away. You see she fell working on her yard; (she is 90 yrs old) and her eye was very red and the side of her face was bruised. She called her MD and they could not see her for a month! go figure. Berkley saw her the next day; Dr Hollas was very thorough; mother commented "she liked this office better ; the assistant is very kind.

I chose this location for convenience, considering I work downtown, but I am so impressed that I will continue to come here regardless of where I work in the future. One of the things I hate doing most is filling out paper forms at Dr. offices, I was able to fill out all my paperwork from their website and turn it in once I arrived. Two electronic signatures later, and I was ready for my appointment!"

And I can say they have awesome eyewear for any budget. Thank you all!"

After first crafting a contacts system for near and far and astigmatism issues that worked great, I tried some place more 'convenient' the next year/scrip. Wrong move. I am back at Berkeley Downtown for good."

I will be recommending this place to others as it had been recommended to me by coworkers! It is not easy to relocate to a new state and look for new health care providers, therefore I am glad it was a painless experience for me at Berkeley! :)"

"My daughter and I came to Berkeley and had eye exams with Dr. Charles Hollas. The minute we stepped in the office, the staff was friendly, professional and very thorough. The entire experience from beginning to end was delightful. I ordered a pair of sunglasses and Brittney was the best. My daughter ordered some contacts and they were in stock.

"I have been going to Berkeley Eye Centers in Katy and The Shops Downtown Houston for 14 years and every year is a great experience. They are kind, courteous, knowledgeable, and always get me in promptly. I will never use any other eye doctor or center!"

"This us the best place to go in Downtown Houston for an amazing eye care experience. I work downtown and Berkeley Eye Center is so convenient. Located in The Shops, it is easily accessible from the Tunnel System or ground level. The staff is very caring & knowledgeable and I got appointments the same day if needed. If you wear glasses, you know how important that is. I bought a pair of glasses from another distributor and was getting headaches daily. They were too far to go back to during the week so I searched for an eye doctor and found this Berkeley close by. I will never go anywhere else. Dr Kokel diagnosed that my glasses needed remade and I'm free of headaches.
