I appreciated the time Dr. Lenart took with my son. He was very patient and thorough. I thought he did a wonderful job.

Consistent quality, taken all safety measures during this critical time.

The staff here gives of family vibes and healthy energy.

Very professional with both Dr. Mantel and Thom the glasses specialist. Looking forward to trying out my new glades when finished.

Everything from start to finish with Dr. Min who explained everything and answered my questions. Far superior to previous eye clinic that didn’t like Davis insurance.

Dr Mantel was great - took the time to explain everything to me and answered all questions. Your optomitrist staff were rather brusque - I'm looking for a solution to a complex request, and I was made to feel like I was inconveniencing him.

Dr. Min is great with kids! I was really happy with her patient care.

Everyone has been so nice! Dr. Lenart is wonderful! He saved my vision!

great experience

None

Dr. Lenart is extremely caring and professional. Saw us early and made my daughter feel extremely confident and comfortable receiving her eye drops. Great surgeon, kind bedside manner and fantastic continued care! The eye glasses are also stylish and staff is helpful and kind.

I can't say enough about my son's favorite optician, Thom. Thom is the reason why my son has tolerated wearing glasses since he was 4 years old and will only seek Thom's opinion about eye wear, wearing schedule, and care for his new glasses. Thom is welcoming, courteous, and very respectful of my son and his needs. My son has sensory processing issues, and his sensory sensitivities are almost non-existent under Thom's care when he visits the optical department. As a mom, Thom has been a blessing in that he takes on a holistic approach when working with my son and our family. He observes what works, considers roles/ activities, provides education as needed, develops rapport and most of all, gives you that extra time to ask questions, which is very important to me! Thom never hesitates to give you his honest and sincere opinion as well as advocates the best fit and look you can achieve with prescription glasses. My son tells all his friends at school to see "Mr. Thom," and we continue to make that referral today. Thank you.

A great experience from beginning to end. You all helped both my son and I pick out some great glasses! Thank you!

I needed a repair for the frame of my glasses and Tom went above and beyond again to make sure it’s been done perfectly and in a timely matter. I’ve been a patient for for at least 10 years and it’s always nice to walk in knowing I will receive the same quality service from Tom every single time. People with that kind of work ethic are not easy to find !

Very friendly and fun staff for my kiddos !!

Young made my daughters experience stress free! His "get it done" attitude and customer service skills removed her anxiety of getting the same frames ordered as she previously had, before she left for college. Our entire experience from him answering the phone to adjusting her frames was top notch. Young is a remarkable employee and deserves recognition for going the extra mile to make my daughter happy! Thank You Young!!! Redmond location picked up glasses 8/5/19 Jennifer and Morgan Radtke

Mr. Thom Humphrey did a great job helping us work or all the issues my daughter had with her new glasses. Thank you very much.

Good experience

Young and Tom have helped us the last few times we have been here. Both are always friendly, willing to answer any questions, and make our experience the best it can be. Both of my sons get their glasses here and when adjustments are needed, they are always helpful and quick. I never feel like we are rushed through our appointment and both Young and Tom are really good and patient when working with my kids. I love this office and have recommended it to several of my friends.

Dr. Mantel was very kind and great with our son. The front desk staff was also very welcoming.

Dr. Lenart alway available whenever we need his service Everyone in the office always very nice when we go there.

Great timing

Y es Nice Tejamen entonces en que Rapper quieren cerveza y lo portes en expenses Thank You

Young and Thom helped my daughter Julianna and myself with in kind professional manner. My daughter has physical challenges and facial differences and they were very helpful to us both, even with her unique needs and how the glasses could help her. When I first spoke to Young, I was grateful for the readiness he expressed to help my daughter with the specific glasses she needed. When we came in he was cheerful towards her and gentle while helping her get the right style and fit that she needed and and that would be best for her as well as something she and myself were happy with. They were a cute style too! It made me feel more confident in my first time experience of getting glasses for my child. When the glasses were ready for us to pick up, Thom helped us. He was kind and explained exactly what we needed to know moving forward with the glasses we were receiving. We had a great experience every step of the way and we highly recommend The Children and Family Eye Doctors in Redmond.

Really good and reliable, easy in and out no wasting time, very friendly ambient.

We didn't wait long for our appointment. My daughter had a great time and left smiling.

Everyone was very helpful and very friendly! A great experience!

The staff is very friendly as well as professional. Dr. Lenart is terrific. The associated glasses supplier is also very helpful.

The staff is always so great and engaging with my kids, we had an appointment for 2 of my daughters and as one was sitting in the chair telling the picture she sees, the other couldn’t wait for her turn. The doctor is thorough and suggests options that work well for our family and daughter who wears glasses. My only complaint is that I have to come twice for my three kids because the clinic staff refused to schedule and examine all of the three kids with adjacent in the same day - this is major inconvenience for parents who need to take time off work to get to the doctors.

My son is 2 yrs old, and finding toddler glasses was frustrating. Until I called The children & family eye doctors. They were wonderful. They had exactly what we were looking for. They were patient and kind.

We continue to enjoy the atmosphere and professional service You are the best Jim&Sally

Visit went very well. All employees were very kind & helpful.

The opticians and doctors at Woodlawn Optical are reliable, knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I've been with them as a client for 20 years. I'm always impressed by how quickly they respond to their clients, how accessible they are for follow up care and the phenomenal selection of frams they offer. They honor several insurance providers and billing is seamless and efficient. They are an excellent turnkey team. Î use them for distance, reading and computer sateen corrective eyewear. Thank you for being such a positive, cohesive group of experts with that rare and priceless element of authentic compassion for your clientele. Warmest regards Gayla Hocker

Friendly and professional. Our whole family goes here now.

We cannot recommend The Children and Family eye dr's of Redmond enough. We have received such personal and professional care from the staff. The front desk ladies run a welcoming and efficient office and our appointments consistently run on time. Dr. Lenart truly has a gift in determining children's correct prescriptive needs. Our children required glasses as early as preschool age and have been wearing them for about 3 years. Through Dr. Lenart's process their eyes have already improved significantly. The optical department has a large variety of high quality attractive frames. All of it's staff have been helpful and friendly but Tom is definitely our go to guy. He manages to find adorable frames and properly fit them to our kid's tiny faces. Our girls are constantly receiving compliments on how adorable the look. The Children's and Family eye Dr. is worth the drive from whatever your location.

Francisco, my son, has been Dr. Lenart's patient since August 2002, when my son was 2 months old. Francisco was born with bi-lateral cataracts that went undiagnosed until Dr. Lenart examined him. Dr. Lenart removed the cataracts via surgery, and since Francisco turned 5 months old, Dr. Lenart has been our local Pediatric Ophthalmologist managing Francisco's glaucoma, a common side effect of cataract removal surgery. Dr. Lenart is an amazing doctor and a great human being that has supported us from day 1. He is caring, proactive and patient; always helpful and open to finding the best sub-specialists for second opinions, even out of the state of Washington, to treat Francisco's glaucoma. We can't thank him and his staff enough for their care, attention, compassion, and professionalism. It really makes you feel that they really care for their Patients . And the optical department have a very knowledgeable team and also extremely professional, and patient. Makes my visits so much nicer and easier with my kids. As a mom who cares and worries so much for his son's health, I am thankful to count with the support of Dr. Lenart and his staff. They have my highest regard and recommendation.

Wonderful!!

Everyone at the front office was very nice and it seemed like a well organized team. Dr. Lenhart was very cool and calm when I came in to the office with A LOT of eye discomfort from an eye abrasion. Diagnosed the problem and explained an easy to follow plan on what I needed to do next. I was in so much pain I really appreacited that part. He personally made a follow up phone call the next business day to check on my progress. Prognosis is good for my eye and will heal nicely.

I’ve been in the puget sound area for 6 years now, and I haven’t had a chance to see a great eye doctor until I met Dr.Min. She was amazing and did a very detail eye examination for me. I’ve a history of “lazy eye” and was looking for not only a good doctor but the one who is professional excellent and had the patience to answer their patients questions and Dr.Min was extraordinary. She did a series of eye exam and gave me a couple of options and answered all of my questions. She’s now my family’s eye doctor. I highly recommend her.

Visited Dr.Min for a routine eye checkup and she was great. She did a detail eye check and answered all of our questions. My entire family visits her every year for a routine eye checkup and I highly recommend her.

We love dr. Mantel

Dr. Mantel was on time, efficient, thorough, pleasant, informed, and helpful. I could ask for nothing more in a doctor.

Fine

My daughters were very comfortable with the environment and eye doctor. Thank you!

Dr. Min was very thorough during my child’s examination. I appreciate her calm and patient demeanor. It’s always comforting to feel confident in the provider who cares for my kids.

Mona is amazing- calm, articulate, patient. A good communicator. Dr Lenart seemed a bit harried. And very knowledgeable and informative.

I had an excellent experience.

Seamless visit scheduling, reception acting very professionally, great service by the doctor during the visit. Thank you!

I always feel so welcome here! Everyone is very nice and they truely care about you and your eye health!

Dr. Min was so personable and yet thorough, especially with my girls making them so comfortable. 2 thumbs up!

My son has been seeing ophthalmology since he was about 3 months old, he’s 5 now! Our visit to this clinic was probably the best we have had so far. Dr. Lenart is awesome, the reception staff was unbelievably polite, and the assistant was perfect with my son. We have been going to Seattle children’s hospital, which we loved. But, this clinic is much smaller, more personable, and we got an appointment within 2 weeks. I will 100% recommend this clinic to my family and friends in the future.

My eye doctor did excellent job for me on my appointment day on Wednesday!!! I really liked it!!! Thank you so much!!! 😊

Excellent service, friendly and very professional staff. Thank you

The most pleasant experience at the doctor's office we've ever had. The staff were great, Dr Min was not only patient but she took the time to trouble shoot, go the extra mile, communicate with my son and I(after the visit) and we did NOT feel rushed or as if we were a burden "if" she was running late. The highlight was that she came and got Matteo and bonded with him from start to finish. She followed through, acknowledging his concerns and finished the same way! THANK YOU 10 STARS

Great staff and wonderful Dr who cared

Excellent OD Catharine Min. Like her cheerfulness and attention to details!

Sorry, some is repeat due to tech difficulties. My 11 year old daughter loved your selection! We previously went to 5 other places. She needed frames with nose pads. Yong was fantastic with how he interacted with her as well as his sense of style. He's a keeper!!

My family had a very positive experience here. Dr. Min was lovely and easily made my young daughter feel comfortable for her eye exam. (We're new to the area, so she was a new doctor to us.) Young helped us select our new frames. He listened to my daughter and helped her quickly locate a pair that looks great and she absolutely loves. For me, he showed that they really do stand behind their satisfaction guarantee. The original pair I selected ultimately didn't fit comfortably, so I returned (it is difficult to find frames that fit my face). Young didn't give me any fuss, and patiently helped me to select an alternative that works much better for me. He also arranged for them to be completed on a rush ticket as we were leaving the next week to visit out of state family. We're grateful for the recommendation that sent us here, and I'm happy to pass it along!

My experience with your entire office concerning my eye problem was truly excellent! I was impressed by the thorough pre-examination done by Colleen Birchler. I could sense that she really enjoyed her work, this was reflected not only by her ability, but her knowledge in what she was doing. It was combined with a great method of communicating and interacting me. And, all these same characteristics are also true concerning Dr. Thomas Lenart. Who's surgical skill and surgical precision resulted in the successful correction of my eye problem. It's difficult for me to express the joy of being able to see "normally" again !! Thank you all so much.

Dr. Min was great with my sensitive child. My child rarely talks to adults. Dr. Min brought her out of her shell. Very skilled. I felt like the recommendations and referrals were appropriate. Knowledgeable, professional and kind.

AmaIng service as always. Could not say enough about the staff. Tom is great and always super helpful!!!

Thom did superd job handling my request. I walked to store without any expextation but I needed to gey progressive lense. He helped me very well. It sounds too simple and normal but two other stores I visited, they made me to get my prescription first. Then they can help me. Thom, on the other hand, he personally called my eye doctor's office in front of me and got their fax. All this process except me taking my own sweet time to pick the right frame and lense, only took about less 30 mins. Thanks for Thom support and definately recommending thia store to my friends to do the business

Please do not text me reviews. It's intrusive and annoying. I do love your office though. Just not sure why anyone would think I'd be happy about getting this as a text. Email is ok. Thanks!

I was a little worried about coming here because of some of the bad reviews. I am I so glad and happy that I took the risk and I came here for my child check up. He felt very comfortable and had a great experience. He lives the doctor and the doctor assistant was very nice. They are very profesional . And all the recepcionist were very welcoming and helped me getting to know all the information I needed. Thank you !

Professional, patient with the kids and reasonable pricing

Good Service

We always appreciate Dr. Mantel. She is awesome!

This was the best eye care we have received in the past 6 years. Appreciated the in depth explanation of our exams and the time spent answering our questions. Outstanding

Great place to take kids for the eye exams . Highly recommended. Raj

Dr. Min is great.

Dr. Mantel was incredibly friendly and explained every step of the eye exam. Staff during check in and ordering for contact lenses was also very friendly and courteous.

On time, friendly, patient, good explanations, etc.

Great service - great attitude.

Thank you for being friendly, helpful and professional!

Happy with the suggestions and the plan doctor Leanrt shows us to improve the astigmatism in my sons left eye.

Y

Dr Lenart & his staff are good. Have good experience in his office whenever visiting.

Excellent patient oriented service by Dr. Lin.

The staff is very friendly. The doctors are very knowledgeable. And the waiting room is very comfortable. We enjoyed this clinic.

Dr. Mantel is great.

I like the doctors details and extensive testing. But I am looking for a more specific treatment plan for my son who got a high level of astigmatism.

This visit was a routine Follow up on eye surgeries done several years ago. My child continues to have excellent sight and the office visit was, as always, a positive experience for him.

Greeted us on arrival Got into appointment right away

The Doctors diagnosis was spot on. Dr Lenart actually made the call himself to set me up with a specialist the next day. It turned out I had a torn retina in 2 places.

Kind professionals

Dr. Catherina Min was fantastic. She was patient, friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. A great doctor!

Na

Dr. Lennart was great with both patients! One in particular was being overly dramatic about getting drops and Dr. Lennart handled it very well.

Always a good experience!

It was very good quick .Thank you

Pleasant staff, timely service, and excellent eye doctor. Been seeing Dr. Mantel for a long time and it is always reassuring to get her advice.

Everyone was very friendly and my eye exam went really well!

The doctor was very thorough and explained everything to me. Colleen was wonderful helping my toddler stay calm and engaging with her during the check up. My only “complaint” is that the appointment was delayed so I was there longer than I had hoped.

Been my eye doctor for years very happy with you

Doctor explained to our satisfaction

I love this clinic. Dr will actually answer my text and put my mind at ease. I am even able to send him pictures of my sons eye if I am unsure weather I should be worried or not.. really a Fantastic Dr and staff..❤️

I really like Dr. Mantel

Doctor's visit was great.

We were satisfied with our experience

Colleen is very skillful at her job and is always accurate with the eye examination. Thank you!!

Nice doctor and great eyeglasses collection

Very thorough and very nice people. Made my 5 year old daughter feel very comfortable.

I found the wait to be a bit long between arrival, eval, doc visit and end.

I found the staff to be very professional and knowledgable. They prepared me for the session with the doctor and at the end provided clear instructions for next steps. Doctor Lenart is kind and understanding. At this point I feel that I found the correct physician for my current issue. I am glad I was referred to Doctor Lenart.

Dr. Leung was very professional and caring. My daughter and I both saw her and it's was a wonderful experience. I will recommend her to my family and friends.

Love the dr. However the wait time, after receiving the eye drops, was far too long. We waited for nearly 40 minutes in the room.

Dr lehanart is excellent doctor 👍Thank you 😊

We have been coming to Dr. Lenart since 2011 and cannot recommend him highly enough. Elizabeth is on the Autism Spectrum and has ADHD, so a good doctor for her is tough to find. Dr. Lenart is wonderful, patient and kind with her.

We have been coming for 15 years. Wonderful!

I felt the eye exam was thorough and the explanation from the doctor was very clear and helpful.

Very friendly as well as helpful

Quick visit, professional doctor and staff

Thank you for the consistently professional and timely care.

Well organized. Friendly staff. Great dr. Was very pleased.

Dr. Autumn Mantel is simply fantastic with addressing our needs and expectations for eye care. Both me (Viveka Raol) and my son (Shiv Rajurs) have been seeing Dr. Mantel for awhile now. Supreme service! The office staff on the front end is super nice, courteous, and helpful. The ONLY concern that I have is: I had to call three times to get an appointment to see Dr. Mantel. The first two attempts were to leave a message on the office voicemail. No one returned my calls. On the third attempt I was able to get through. I almost looked for a new eye care provider. Glad I decided to stay with your office. We absolutely love the consistent, outstanding service provided to us by Dr. Autumn Mantel. Thank you!!! Viveka Raol (425.443.6215)

Your attention to detail and patience care is above all others. I don't feel like a number when I'm there but rather a real person. Thank you

Excellent reception and Doctor was friendly as well

Everything goes fine

Always quick and courteous.

The doctor and staff were very nice and patient with my son. Great doctor!

The entire experience from eye exam through selection of new glasses was very pleasant.

Great meeting with the doctor and staff.

Great eye doctor

Great enthusiastic doctor

Always seen at our appointment time. Always given thorough explanations when needed as well.

Appointment was in time and Dr. Mantell is great

Very nice doctor! She took her time to do exams very carefully . It's nice if you tell patients to bring their social security number with them when confirming appointment. Not everyone have it with them! Took me long time to reach it from my husband.

Visit was good except wait time was little longer

Great and fast service. Doctor took enough time to explain the results and the recommendations.

I appreciate how helpful everyone is and how concerned they are for the health of my child. It was great that the doctor took the time to make sure all my questions were answered.

Great job thus far. Have really felt comfortable throughout the whole process of my daughters strabismus surgery. Very confident in her results! Dr. Lenart and the rest of the staff were all very helpful and informative throughout.

Dr Mantel was very thorough in her examination of my kids' eyes and was also very patient.

I really appreciated how quickly and efficiently the procedure was. Only on day 3 of eye drops but the Doctor seemed hopeful that the procedure was affective.

Dr. Mantel was very detailed and answered all our questions. She was very friendly and put the patient quickly at ease. The exam went very smoothly and there was no unnecessary waiting.

Nice experience. The front desk help us checking, making follow up appointment quick and friendly.

Perfect. My 4 year old appreciated the cartoons while she waited for the eye drops to work. The staff was friendly. This was our first visit to a eye dr. And it went very well

Appointment ran on time. Friendly staff and doctors. Clean office.

Dr Mantel is very good!

I liked all the staff. Just wish I didn't have to wait extra 20 minutes before getting an exam.

Great services everybody there are so nice

Friendly, on time and great care!!

Friendly staff and Dr leung was very kind and communicative

I have two little guys that come to your office and we always have a very positive experience. I love the fish tank and the toy are for them. It's very kid friendly and staff is always polite.

Dr. L was very thorough and explained everything to me very well. She made me feel comfortable.

Excellent experience.

We love the clinic and everything Dr. Lenart has done for our daughter.

Your office is top notch. I appreciate the Doctor's explanations and courteousness. The staff is wonderful, and Optical shop group is the nicest and most helpful of anywhere I've ever been.

I always feel like Dr. Lenart, Dr. Leung, and Colleen are great with my four children and make sure they get the very best care. I have also received great care when shopping for glasses for them there!

Very professional and friendly team.

Dr. Mantel is a true professional and has a great demeanor with kids. We appreciate her.

Highly professional staff
