Expert Care from Our Orthoptist

Our orthoptist, Dr. Monica Brown, specializes in diagnosing and treating eye movement and coordination disorders. These issues can lead to symptoms like double vision, eye strain, headaches, and trouble focusing. Often caused by muscle imbalances, nerve defects, or developmental conditions, binocular vision disorders affect how the brain controls eye movement. With expert assessment and personalized treatment, our orthoptist helps patients achieve clearer, more comfortable vision.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had been dealing with frustrating double vision issues for quite some time before seeing Dr. Monica Brown.  Dr. Brown did an incredible job diagnosing the problem and clearly explaining my treatment options.  I finally feel relief and can see things properly again.   The entire staff was professional and welcoming.  I highly recommend her to anyone experiencing vision issues. Thank You!!

Every time I go I get the best eye care, and the most beautiful eyeglasses ever!  The entire staff has always been very professional,  knowledgeable, and personable.  I’ve been to many other eye doctors before and can say I received just mediocre service. Thank You Dr Brown for great service!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I visited this morning and saw Dr. Alissa Alterman. I had Lasik over 10 years ago and started to regress a little. I saw a different doctor last year that gave me contacts and it unfortunately didn't work out. I was discouraged, but after seeing Dr. Alterman today, I have renewed optimism! We tried a different pair that fit my eyes much better and 1 day in, I can tell a huge difference! SO glad I decided to go here! Outside of that, my experience was awesome! The entire staff is great and the facility is super nice. I couldn't recommend coming here more!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is by far the most well operated office I have ever had to pleasure of visiting. All of the staff are incredible at their jobs, and the building itself is very inviting. As someone who is deeply averse to any and all medical settings, going in for my yearly appointment here brings me no anxiety whatsoever. Bailey in particular has been extremely helpful in assisting me over the phone! I am delighted to recommend this practice to all of my friends and colleagues, especially as they offer such a wide range of options (including orthokeratology overnight contacts).

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my first time at Baymeadows Vision Center and it was a wonderful experience. The environment is so clean. relaxing, and so welcoming. The pre-exam was handled professionally and all tests were explained.  I saw Dr. Alterman who provided one the most comprehensive exam I have had in quite some time. She also was calming and explained all aspects of the exam. I never felt rushed and all my were concerns were addressed. After the exam, I had a great experience with choosing glasses. There were so many to choose from! Teri was great in matching my face shape with the most flattering choices! It made selecting so easy! She also was a wonderful at ensuring my eye insurance benefits were applied and used correctly. As stated before the whole eye appointment was wonderful and I highly recommend this practice!

Everyone was friendly, professional, and welcoming. A special thank you to Bailey, who was incredibly kind, helpful, and made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. And, of course, Dr. Monica Brown was exceptional—professional, knowledgeable, patient, and truly caring. She took the time to explain everything and made me feel completely comfortable. I will definitely be coming back for my future eye care needs, and I’ll be bringing my family as well. If you’re looking for a great place for an eye exam or any type of glasses, I highly recommend this office!

Last year, which was my first visit to the new place, was quite a challenge. I thank Dr. Brown for the good report, and I also enjoyed meeting her new assistant -- her daughter, who's following in her mother's optometry footsteps.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my first visit with Baymeadows Vision Center and it was nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Brown spent a significant amount of time explaining everything to me and answering my questions. Terry, who helped me pick out glasses, was outstanding! And honestly, I’m embarrassed to disclose how much time she spent with me. But, in short, I am very thankful I had her assistance.  Not only did she go over all my options and tell me which styles were better for me, but she also ensured they fit properly (both in overall size AND the bridge of my nose). I highly recommend them.
