I have been a patient for a few years now. The entire staff is so wonderful and friendly. Dr. Hair was very thorough and great at explaining everything she did. I had my kids with me at my appointment and she took the time to tell them all about the exam, let them get a close up look at my eyes, and took the time to explain all about how eyes work. They were fascinated! Such a great doctor and eye clinic! Can’t recommend them enough.

My annual eye appointment was the same as always: warm greeting, prompt attention delivered by well-trained, courteous, caring professionals and then I was on my way. This is one check-up that I don’t mind going to. Always a pleasure visiting with Dr. Achord and her staff.

Dr Achord has been my eye Dr for about 25 years. And there’s a reason she is. She takes time with you. Anything she sees, she will send you to a specialist to make sure everything is ok. She genuinely cares about you. Her staff is so nice. Now her daughter Kennedy works for her and she’s going to be just like her mommaLove her!!!

I have never in my life had and eye exam and I came to Achord Eye Clinic today August 26th and I’m happy I chose them to service me. The staff was very inviting and Dr. Sheppard took great care of my eyes! I can’t wait to wear my new specs!Thanks Achord!

Staff was very friendly and sweet. It made it easy to get my prescription. I was a little upset because I decided I didnt want to purchase glasses in store but online. I wish Erica wouldve notified me that the prescription did not include the pd measurements and it wouldve cost extra as I checked out. I had to come back later just to get the pd because I didnt know. I dont mind the extra charge, but that was a little frustrating when she fully knew what I wouldve needed to order glasses online but did not mention it.

Dr Shepherd and Megan were very detailed in testing and explanation, patient with me, and very kind. I appreciated being listened to and the acceptance I was given when asking what I thought may be “silly questions”! I love my mono-vision contacts——no more shifting from glasses, to squinting, to seeing, etc. 😊

I saw Dr. Shepard and had a very nice experience! I saw 2 optometrists at Eye Medical Center in the past and the level of care at Achord is much better. Dr. Shepard answered all of my questions and made sure I left with the information I needed. Would absolutely recommend to friends/family.

The folks in Dr. Achords office have been without exception friendly and professional over the years Ive been a patient there. Thanks to their prescription recommendations Im able to read, play music, and drive with the same glasses, and this has been real game changer. When we lived five hours away I planned to schedule appointments when I visited Baton Rouge, so I really would not and have not gone elsewhere.

I love it here everyone is so polite and patient with myself and kids. Ive been coming here for a few years and I cant see going anywhere else. I also want to point out how nice Erica was today(6/30/20) with helping me find my glasses I know Im the cheapest most indecisive person I have ever met and she remained polite and patient throughout the whole ordeal and I thank her for that.Im back in the office today 7/14/20 to get fitted for hard contacts. Ive never worn contacts before and I was nervous. Erin, Meghan, and Heather were the best of help. They were nice from beginning to end I could go on and on about this place but Im sure you get the picture I love it here.

I called and gave them my all insurance information during my initial phone conversation and appointment scheduling. The Achord staff never stated that they do not take my Insurance or mention it. When I arrived to my appointment time and gave the front desk staff my license and insurance cards they said “we don’t take this insurance and it would cost me $180.00 for the visit” with a secondary optometrist! Why they did not tell me over the phone on the initial call where I gave all my information on my insurance I will never know, but I recommend whoever goes to see this to think twice as you will probably be in for a surprise(s). My husband and I had other things we could have done that would have been been more productive than having these people waste our precious time not only once but twice!! RUN as fast as you can away from this business!!HORRIBLE !!!

I had a rather pleasant and enjoyable experience. The staff were very accommodating and polite. Im grateful to my new doctor for addressing my vision problems and helping me find a nice pair of frames . Thank you all so much.

Review №41

I was new to the BR area and took a chance on visiting Achord as I needed to establish a new primary eye care facility and be fitted for glasses. Im so glad I chose Achord! The staff are friendly and helpful, they took time out of their day to help me choose the best frames to suit my face. They clearly explained my benefits and payment process, and I felt comfortable asking questions. Dr. Gueldner was professional and friendly, shes attentive to her patients and I felt that I was receiving thorough care. I will be actively recommending Achord to my friends and coworkers.

I took my 4 year old son here who failed the vision test at school. I called and got an appointment after 2 days. Staff was very helpful. After the vision test, Dr. Bridgette Connorton gave a detailed information and told us what we need to do later. Overall my experience here was very good. Thank you.

My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Achord for over 12 years. She is always in a positive/friendly mood and willing to take the time to talk through our eye problems. She doesnt rush through the visit. If you have questions or concerns, she thoroughly explains the possible causes and solutions. I have highly recommended her to my friends and associates and will continue to do so.

I have seen both Dr. Achord and Dr. Truitt and I have the highest respect for both of them. I have been seeing Dr. Achord since I was 12 years old, my 8 year old is a patient of theirs as well.I will not go to anyone else other than these 2 eye doctors.They take their time with you and dont rush your exam so they can move on the next patient...they genuinely care. Great doctors and you cant go wrong with them!

The best and friendliest service, would not dream of ever changing. Dr. Achord always goes over and beyond explaining how my eyes have changed and what she is recommending. Even when out of town her staff went out of there way to help me get replacement contacts when someone accidently drank mine.

With so many eye doctors in Baton Rouge, I highly suggest you choose a different office. I have been wearing glasses/contacts for 15+ years, I have been to several doctors, and have never had a terrible experience until I went to this clinic. After multiple returns after my initial visit they still could not get my prescription right. I was suffering from very severe headaches on a daily basis, I called the office because I knew it was my eyes, and it took them 10-ish days to return my phone call!!! I went to a new eye doctor and found out not only was my perscription more than a little off, they had completely missed an astigmatism in one of my eyes, AND given me eye drops that never should have been used with contacts in the first place. Please save yourself time and money by going to a different eye doctor.Just a side note: I politely called and asked for a refund since I had to pay out of pocket to see another doctor. They declined stating that they treated me. They were willing to see me again but after 3+ times and not getting a return phone call when I was truly sick with terrible headaches, I thought it was in the best interest of my health to seek another doctor.

Terrible service. Ive been coming to this clinic for the past 5 years, and not once have I left satisfied. They are extremely rude, and discriminatory. I would not recommend this clinic to anyone.
