Dr. Amy Atherton, is an extremely through personable, and knowledgeable doctor. This was my annual eye exam. Dr. Amy's technician and her work extremely well as a team. During the exam the technician was wondering about an eye concern when doing her routine tests. Dr. Atherton came into the exam room and willing evaluated the situation to determine if there were any medical issues. Overall, Dr. Atherton is an excellent optometrist, she appears to enjoy patient contact, likes her job, reviews exam procedures, answers all questions and provides follow up instructions.

Dr.Atherton is excellent. She listens, recommends and always takes her time. Her assistant was also excellent I hate drops in my eyes, but she did so with such ease and care. Thanks to the woman at check in/out.

I like the early appointments, but with the department not opening until 8, you are already behind your appointment time. I felt rushed, no one at appointment checking desk, checked in in the exam room by the tech. Otherwise no complaints

Picking out the glasses after was not as pleasant as it could have been.

Amy was very delightful and friendly. Enjoyed getting to know her better.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/18/2026
The optical staff (the one who assists with getting glasses ordered) was very rude, extremely pushy and rude. Everyone else medical assistant and doctor were amazing!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/14/2026
I have already recommended this provider two different people.

I was called back even before my scheduled appt time.

Eye exam. Eyes dilated. At end of appt was not offered temp dark glasses. Should have been. Had a hard time walking to my car due to sun in dilated eyes. Dark glasses in my car. This appt was a referral and I did not u derstand what was to be covered. Should have been explained to me. It almost seemed like tech did not even look at referral and purpose.

Received a new prescription to be filled for new glasses. Supplemental insurance covered $300 if I ordered through the network-- $850 is outrageous.

Dr. Atherton and her staff were wonderful.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/21/2026
The check in process is a little murky. The gal peddling frames is not anxious to do anything but that. If your insurance doesn't cover them, its a no go for her but she's happy to put down area places to get frames.

The doctor who treated me is incredible. She explains things very well and her treatment is excellent; she's very professional. Thank you.

Okay, I was our first experience with you and it went very well, but there were a few, well, just being strangers to the operation. It's kind of hard to tell what to expect, but overall it's very good.

Dr. Amy Atherton is the best!! Even though my insurance has changed, and Emplify is not in my insurance network, it is worth the money I am required to pay to see her. I have been seeing Dr. Atherton for several years now, and she is amazing. She is very attentive and listens to my questions and concerns. I always leave feeling like I have understood everything she tells me. I have a few issues with my overall health including my eyes, and Dr. Atherton always encourages my progress and keeps me informed of things to come.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/18/2026
I have other health issues and every one was very understanding and helpful

Was impressed with the time team spent with us addressing our issues
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/19/2025
Amy went on and on about my 'options' and wouldn't stop when I said I understood and I finally asked her to stop talking about it. She seemed very competent but kept saying the same things over and over.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/14/2025
I absolutely love Amy and the scheduling lady (don't know her name)

Doctor Amy was fantastic and really explained things very well.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/19/2025
Waiting for the doctor, no one told me she was still with another patient, which is understandable. I was leaving and tried to schedule another appointment. Did get to see the doctor.
