Patient Testimonials

Today was my first visit to DSVC. I haven’t been to an eye doctor in over 20 years and I was apprehensive a bit. Once I arrived it all went great with the exceptional staff and state of the art equipment. Then my evaluation from the doctor was so professional and comforting. I then had a meeting with the expert who set me up for choosing frames and a set of glasses to help me out with driving at night. All I can say is that they took really good care of me and made me feel comfortable at the same time!

My entire family has been seeing Dr. Dobson at Bee Cave Vision center since 2007. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. He makes it a point to make sure that whatever you need to have the best vision possible he will get for you. He will work tirelessly to make sure you have the best fitting contact lenses, regardless of factors that can make it difficult to fit. Such as astigmatism and vision loss as we age. His entire staff is fabulous! Smart, friendly and accommodating in every way.

Such a great experience at the DSVC! It’s been ages since I got an eye exam — wow, has technology changed. I felt ultra confident after the exam. Dr. Dobson explained all of my results and options. The staff was super helpful and Margarita, their Optician, was really helpful picking out my first pair of glasses. Their office is beautiful too!! I’m a huge fan and so happy to have DSVC in our backyard. Highly recommend.

Had a great experience. Dr. Dobson was very thorough and took his time in my exam to make sure I was happy with my vision before he moved on at each step. One of the best eye exams I have had. Thank you Dr. Dobson and staff!

The office got me in quickly as a new patient with an urgent issue. Dr. Dobson had my eye feeling better in less than 12 hours. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. It is so clean and gorgeous! Their safety protocols were great. I definitely recommend the Dripping Springs office.

Ashleigh L.

My family has been going to Bee Cave Vision for years for eye exams, glasses, and contacts. We wouldn’t go anywhere else! Always friendly and personal service. I just went today to have my current glasses adjusted and the nose pads replaced, and received the usual efficient and professional service as always!

Cindy C.

Everyone at DSVC is so nice! Exams were thorough, and everything was explained as we proceeded. Optometrist and optician in one place, but they print out your prescription if you ask, so you can take anywhere you like for glasses.

Leah M.

Very friendly and polished staff and well versed all the way around. Felt like I had a very thorough exam with state of the art equipment that led me to feel I was in great hands. Staff was great in assisting in finding glasses that looked great. Highly recommend especially for those worried about COVID. They went above and beyond.
