I have been coming here for the past 10 years and have always had great experiences! Dr. Mertins and the whole team are great at what they do. She is accommodating for scheduling when possible and has always helped with anything I’ve needed over the years. Glad to have a great place close to home!

What Dr. Mertins and her staff have built at their practice is nothing short of magical. They are my absolute favorite medical place Ive been to for either myself or my kids. They listen to our concerns, are always available to talk things through, and are flexible no matter what our needs are. They truly prioritize their patients experience. My kids love Dr. Mertins and she makes what could be a scary eye appointment a breeze. Forever patients.

I Love Dr Mertin and her team! She is very knowledgeable and gives honest feedback that helps you as a patient. I was sent to her for a second opinion and it saved me a LOT of money! Dr Mertin truly does what is best for you as a patient. I love the service and care that I get here!

My family just moved to Fayetteville and was need of a new eye doctor. This labor day I had a bad scratch on my eye which felt terrible and extremely painfull. Being a holiday, Dr. Mertin was the only doctor who returned my call out of 10 plus other doctors. My only option if she did not return my call was to go to the ER. Dr. Mertin was able to meet us at her office and immediately reduced the pain. After two more visits, my eye was back to 100%. The staff and Dr. Mertin were unreal, and my family now has a new eye doctor. I highly recommend Mertins Eye & Optical. You will not be disappointed!

Mertins is hands-down the best high-end eyewear shop in Northwest Arkansas! Having gone through a few pairs of so-called “affordable” online frames (terrible experience), I finally discovered Mertins and their extensive (yet masterfully curated) selection. I love my handcrafted German engineered Mykita frames so much that I’m thinking about buying a second pair of the same style, just in case it’s ever discontinued! But the satisfaction doesn’t stop there: Dr. Mertins is also hands-down the nicest and most thorough eye doctor I’ve ever been to. She genuinely cares about her patients’ long-term eye health, and her practice has clearly invested in all of the tools needed to ensure it. The staff is friendly, the service impeccable. Highly recommend!

Mertins’ is fantastic. The staff are always friendly. Dr. Mertins is friendly and explains everything thoroughly. I’d also like to note they also treat my daughter (9) very well. When discussing treatment, glasses, etc they speak to her as well as me and are cognizant of her feelings.

Disclaimer: 2-star rating based on office policies/practices - not on the care given (would give it 5 stars):Ive been going to Dr. Mertins for many years, ever since she moved to the Garland address exclusively. I only go once a year for a checkup and any prescription adjustment needed (I only need plain reading glasses). So, it was never anything that could get complicated or warrant the time to write a review.However, the front staff have always been extremely high-pressure sales on their [expensive] products while I wait for my appointment and afterwards. I dont mind that but what prompted me to write this review is that I missed one appointment without calling them (first and only I ever missed) and today, when I tried to schedule a new slot, I was told I could never again schedule an appointment and could only be on their wait list, i.e. if someone else cancels, they call patients in that list.I was never called to check if I was OK (something my doctor does if I miss a scheduled appointment; just in case I died) nor was I asked what had happened.

I went today for my first ever eye appointment due to having double vision. The staff was friendly, but I was told that my glasses were going to be just under $800. Not knowing how much glasses typically cost, I called my mom about the pricing and she was in shock. She immediately told me to leave and being that she has worn glasses since her 20s, I believed her and didnt purchase glasses. After inputting my subscription into multiple websites to find a pair that do what I need, Im ending today with two new pairs of glasses (with my Prism lenses) for $60 total, after shipping. Again, I think the staff is friendly, but I do think they charge a lot and had I not had my mom to tell me otherwise, I wouldve paid that much. Not saying dont go here, but do your research on pricing before choosing to buy from them or not. Im sure the quality is great, but at the end of the day, glasses shouldnt cost $800 unless they match my Louis Vuitton purse, which they didnt.

Dr. Mertins is great! She took the time to explain all of the issues with my eyes, much more in depth than previous experiences I’ve had with other optometrists. The frames sold in store are definitely pricey, but I felt that they were very transparent about the cost before I paid, so I knew what to expect. And they were very helpful in helping me find my perfect pair. I had a great experience at Mertins!

I love the office of Mertins Eye & Optical! They are professional, organized, kind, and thorough. I greatly appreciate that they are great stewards of our family budget, considering the vision needs of all six of us in a way that allows each family member to maximize their situation. I have never waited for an appointment - they operate with great regard for the clients time commitments. Yet, they dont move you through the office like a number not a person. I always have the full attention of Allyson Mertins. She asks after family members, is interested in the individual patient, and takes the time to assess exactly what I need - keeping both vision and budget issues in mind. Plus I always love visiting with Dr. Mertins and feel a better person for it each and every time. My praise is lavish but I dont levy it lightly - Mertins Eye & Optical excels in every aspect of the business.

Dr. Mertins is absolutely amazing! She goes above and beyond any eye doctor or doctor period that I’ve ever been to! Her staff is wonderful also! So thankful to have found them and for her staff’s knowledge and patience with me while I took quite a while to decide on which pair of frames I wanted. I can’t remember the name of the woman that helped me in finding the perfect eyeglass frames yesterday but she’s superb! They all are! Definitely 5 starts!⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️If you’re looking for an eye doctor, Mertins is THE BEST! ♥️

Dr. Mertins and the entire staff made me feel safe and comfortable during my recent annual eye exam. Every precaution was taken to ensure my safety during this Covid-19 pandemic. Other than staff, I was the only patient in the clinic during my visit and was given the most superb service. Dr. Mertins and her staff are always so professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Furthermore, you will not find a better selection of quality eyewear. Thank you Dr. Mertins for caring so much about your patients!

I have been going to Mertins Eye & Optical for 4 years now and I still love it. The staff is always super friendly and helpful and Dr. Mertins is excellent and thorough in her work. You can really tell that they care for what they do and take pride in it. While the glasses they offer can be pricey, I believe it really is a you get what you pay for circumstance, as they really do have an array of fantastic, top notch quality lenses to pick from.

I love this place. They have the most advanced eye examination technology. The doctor did testing that I had never had at another optometrist so I really felt like I was getting specialized care. I left with contacts that fit perfectly and are a more accurate prescription than my last. Im 100% satisfied. I will continue to go here for many years.If you are looking for quick quality care this is the place to go!

I have been going to Dr Mertins for years and totally trust her for my vision care. She takes time to go over your results and in my case Ive had very little change in my vision over years. And talking to her comes easily like talking to a old friend. With the latest technology and a modern office. Her staff have that professional and down home friendliness thats always nice. I would highly recommend them

Review №26

The people are friendly and the service is good but be prepared for extra charges that aren’t covered by insurance.For instance, when you first enter you’ll be asked to sign a form acknowledging “Today’s treatment will include” an eye scan by a fancy new machine. The scan costs $45 and isn’t covered by insurance. Later the staff will admit the scan is optional, but the form initially presents it as mandatory. It’s an old trick of high-pressure sales: present the sale as inevitable. Having said that, I opted for the scan and I’m glad I did because it showed conclusively that I don’t have a genetic eye disease that my father has. I’m not complaining about the scan itself or the price, just the way it was sold to me.Also, if you wear contact lenses they will charge a $40 “fitting fee” that isn’t covered by insurance. This fee wasnt mentioned when I asked about the cost when I first walked in.On the other hand, Dr. Mertins worked with me to make sure I got my contact lenses as quickly as possible before my insurance runs out at the end of the month.Overall, Mertins Eye & Optical is a higher-end establishment and you’ll get what you pay for.P.S. They asked me to sign a medical release form that was digitally shrunk down to the point that it was pixelated and illegible, which is shady if not illegal. They did, however, give me the original, legible form when I asked them for it.-----EDITED AFTER REPLY: Thank you for your thoughtful reply. Ill see you at the next appointment.

I had a great experience! Really thorough care. Dr. Mertins made me so comfortable to ask questions and gave great, thoughtful advice and recommendations.The one thing worth noting is that if you plan to get your eyes dilated (I have to get dilated eye exams yearly) they will give you a paper to sign for an alternate method (retinal imaging) that is more effective without dilating your eyes. They didnt tell me that it costs $45 extra when they handed me the paper so make sure you read it! (Also, the extra $45 is sooo worth it for not having to dilate your eyes and the retinal imaging only takes a few minutes.)Overall, GREAT experience!

I would not trust anyone except Dr. Mertins with my eye care. She is hands down the best and is always up to date on the top options for your eye care. She is caring and you will leave your appointment knowing for certain you received a thorough, comprehensive exam. Everyone there is like family and will always treat you with kindness and respect. I appreciate all their hard work to help find the best in optical frames and to make your visit the greatest experience it can be! Good jobs guys, top-notch care!

Review №35

I waited for so long to post this review, so the owner wont track me down (I will tell you the reasons). I hope this review is helpful for future customers, especially those who are likely to visit the store based on the good review.1.There are hidden charges, so ask for details regarding what you will pay. If you say No to things, you will instantly know why I give them 1-star.2. Make sure to have Vision insurance (not just medical), and they will judge and show attitude towards people who dont have one.3. After analyzing the customer review system for so long, the good rating is suspicious. They either pay someone to write a great review, give out discounts to real customers, or even remove negative comments. Anyway, its a lucrative business.4. You can always compare prices online, and dont fool yourself just because you are in the store.5. Know your right as a health care consumer. Say No when they give you an ambiguous or unreadable document to sign. Say No to add-on services.To the owner: please dont contact me to remove this review, because all my arguments are fair, and you know it. From a confidentiality standpoint, its unfair to initiate an argument online when you have collected my SSN, DOB, home address, etc.To the front desk employees: As a receptionist, I know your responsibility is to make this business profitable. However, as an ethical human being, you have the basic right to tell the truth without lying or covering anything.

Before I ever stepped foot in Mertins, I was helped tremendously. When I scheduled my appointment, every question I had regarding insurance, pricing, and contact fitting was answered (I believe Emily answered all my initial questions, and Tina helped with projected prices for my contact order). I knew exactly what to anticipate, and filled out my paperwork before my appointment—which made everything quick and easy. Dr. Mertins was professional and answered all questions I had. Kory placed my order, as well as explained how to apply the rebate for my specific order. He also followed up very fast with my order information. I highly recommend Mertins. Staff is professional, friendly, and fast!

This was one of the most professional and thorough eye exams I have ever had. I have worn glasses and contacts since the 80’s so I’ve been to many a vision appointment! I liked the option of having a scan done rather than the normal dilation which always caused blurred vision on the drive home. I could vividly see all parts of my eye on the screen, which is so important to me since I had to have retinal surgery last year. It was comforting to know everything was looking good. The whole staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Mertins to everyone!

6-6-20. Another great experience at Mertins Eye and Optical. Dr. Mertins and her team are professional, knowledgeable, friendly and thorough. Dr. Mertins takes the time to explain each part of the exam and the results in terms you can easily understand. The entire team makes you feel welcome and valued. They also have an unparalleled selection of high-quality frames and the staff takes the time to help you find the perfect pair (cleaning each pair before and after you try them on). Their safety practices during this COVID-19 pandemic are to be commended. I felt safe from the moment I walked in the door to the time I walked out the door. Dr. Mertins and her team run a world class operation. We are fortunate to have such an awesome clinic right here in Northwest Arkansas. If you’re looking for an eye doctor, look no further than Mertins Eye and Optical.

Do yourself a favor and make an appointment or just stop by to see the awesome selection of frames and sunglasses that they carry. Thank you Dr. Mertins and the entire staff!!

Excellent place, fully recommended. I was given an appointment immediately when my glasses broke and it made a really big difference. Everybody was kind and helpful. I like my glasses and they are solid. Thank you!

I just finished my first visit to Mertins Eye & Optical and I can hands-down say that this was THE BEST experience Ive had at an eye clinic since I moved to AR in 1996! Dr. Mertin gave a thorough and informative exam - and she gave me support and solutions for an ongoing eye issue that no other optometrist has ever offered. The Mertin’s staff was also incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, patient and attentive. I left my appointment feeling happy...and hopeful about my vision for the first time in a long time. I will be referring all my friends to Mertins!

Very thorough check up. I asked Dr. Mertins several questions and she has done her best to answer them. Compare to another eye clinic I have been, Mertins eye and optical does charge you for the trial contact lenses.

The doctor was nice, but what really made my experience was the staff, specifically Kory and Alli.Alli did my pre-testing and was absolutely lovely.Kory really made my experience magical. I felt no pressure and no rush—he is truly a gem and they’re lucky to have him.

I had the best experience with this office. The staff are very friendly and willing to help with anything. Dr mertins is amazing. I have dry eyes and she went above and beyond trying to help with ideas to help it. She even took the time to put in plugs when I wasn’t scheduled for it. I would definitely recommend them to all of my family and friends. Love this office.
