Featured Testimonial
Recently, we enjoyed hearing from one of our patients, Dr. Graham, who wrote, “This visit changed my LIFE!” Dr. Graham had the ClearPath screening last fall. He explained that his optometrist, Dr. Johnson, wanted to do a “new” test on his eyes. After learning the results of this ClearPath test, Dr. Johnson became concerned about the level of sugar accumulation in the lens of his eye. Dr. Graham also has a family history of diabetes and so he immediately made changes to avoid the same outcome.
After making dietary changes that included giving up cookies, ice cream, candy, and other items high in added sugar, he lost 27 pounds. But the benefits were more than weight loss and included:
- Better Sleep
- Knee pain eliminated
- Focus and concentration improved
- Blood pressure medications reduced
- Blood sugar highs and lows eliminated
- More relaxed
Sugar and Eye Health Connection
What we know is that high levels of sugar accumulation in the lens of the eye are a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. This high accumulation can show on the Clearpath test up to seven years before any signs or symptoms of diabetes. Learning this risk factor now will allow our patients to make lifestyle changes, avoiding future illness. Dr. Graham says, “I thank Dr. Johnson every day for pointing this out to me so I could make the changes now.”
The Clearpath is a quick test that Piedmont EyeCare offers in our office and does not require a blood draw. We are one of the few offices in the area that offer this advanced technology.
Thank you, Dr Graham, owner of Braces Plus in Wesley Chapel, for taking the time to share your amazing health journey!
At Piedmont EyeCare, exceptional eye care is our vision!
Joy has fixed our sons’ glasses several times and she has always gone above and beyond. We are so grateful to have such a wonderful eye glass place to take care of our family, especially being so kind and generous with their time.
Just went today for the first time and this office is fantastic! Jessica C was so friendly and knowledgeable about not only the office but contact lens's prices, rebates and shipping. It was the most thorough eye exam I have had in years. The office was clean and filled with the latest technologies. The friendliness and professionalism of the staff and doctor is above par! I’m glad I found Piedmont!
Thank you, HEATHER!!
I really can't thank you enough for your patience, expertise, professionalism, and going above and beyond. Your explanations helped me understand and trust the process of three different options for my contact lens prescription! So happy to have this level of care! ☺️

Had a great visit this morning! Dr. Barrows and Maria were a wonderful help in getting my eyes checked and glasses ready
I've been with Piedmont EyeCare for 25 years, so they must be doing something right! I wanted to state that I love the new office layout as it is much more efficient. The front office staff is always welcoming, helpful and professional from check in to check out. My visit this week was with Heather and Dr. Major. Heather was exceptional as she explained what each test was for which is important to me. She is professional, knowledgeable, and exudes positive energy - one can tell she really enjoys her job. Of course my fav is Dr. Major who spent an appropriate amount of time tweeking my prescription and discussion all options with the same positive attitude. From the front staff, Heather and Dr. Major - they are assets to this great company!
my experience at Piedmont Eye Care Blakeney location….I can’t say thank you enough for making my first experience ever at an eye doctor PERFECT! EVERYONE IS so amazing! From the moment I walked in every person was so helpful and nice. The lady at the front desk was so patient and helped me get an appointment in that day with the doctor. She made me feel at ease and comfortable. I was able to see Doctor Philippe and he was absolutely wonderful! He took the time to go over everything with me and explained things so that I could understand. He also allowed me to ask question and made me feel like more than just another patient. I can’t thank him enough for that. I appreciate him so much. He has a special gift and hope he knows he impacts people’s lives in a good way every single day!
Shaina was FANTASTIC!! I have never had my eyes checked in my life and god bless each and every one of the people who helped me. She took her time to help me find the right pair of glasses and truly cared about making sure I was okay and good with it all. She’s a true angle!!
Hope this brings everyone joy and thank you again for everything !

I had an amazing experience at Piedmont EyeCare Associates thanks to Maggie and Tatyana! Maggie went truly above and beyond— even when the doctor was out of the office, she took the initiative to message me directly and make sure I got comfortable contacts right away. She had my new lenses ready within a day, and her communication and customer care were exceptional.
Tatyana was equally wonderful. She helped me find the perfect pair of frames and was so patient with adjusting them multiple times until they fit perfectly. Her attention to detail and warm personality made the entire process enjoyable.
Both Maggie and Tatyana provided outstanding service, and I’m so grateful for their help. Highly recommend this office!

Staff was great, very professional and friendly. Dr. Johnson was great and Shaina Sutton in the eye glass department was super helpful.
Gina was fantastic! She was very friendly and made me feel comfortable before the doctor came in (Dr. Patel is my go-to). I love this practice! I've been coming here for four years. Jennifer in the glasses department has helped me find three different pairs over the years. I'm quite particular, and she listens exceptionally well. Every time I leave, I feel beautiful in my new glasses, thanks to her! I will continue coming back here!
My 12 year old was trying on contacts for the time. Karen was incredible! My son was having a hard time but she was soooo patient and took her time showing him and having him try. I was very impressed. Dr. Barrows was also very kind and seemed to speak my preteen's language. Overall, great experience, but Karen really stood out as exceptional.

Thank you so much Suzanna!
Dr. Patel and her staff and office are top notch. From Jessica at the front desk to Shaina the optical expert! You’ll never find a more professional and friendly eye care facility in the area. Would highly recommend.

Thank you so much!
Karen was great helping me figure out how to get contacts in and out. I tried contacts about 6/7 years ago and couldnt take them out. Karen had me getting them out in no time.

Dr. Fix was very courteous and professional. She did a very thorough eye exam. Shaina was also very friendly and helpful. She took a lot of time with me so that I could get eye glasses suited for me.

Casey is an absolute delight and delivers top notch customer service. She goes above and beyond on all levels. She knows the industry and understands what each customer is seeking in their frames and glasses. What a joy it's been to work with her! She is amazing!!!

Thanks Jennifer!
My visit was great, as always! I felt very seen and heard, they truly care about their patient's wellbeing! Shaina was SO helpful picking out new frames, pricing everything up and getting me out the door as quickly as possible! I would definitely recommend Piedmont EyeCare Associates!!

Thank you Jennifer!
Great staff and doctor at the Wesley Chapel location. Sara did the assessments and took pictures prior to us seeing the doctor on myself, husband, and son and was so personable, explained everything, and made us all feel very welcomed! We will be going back to see Sara again as she was a pleasure to work it.

Thank you Stefanie.
I rarely post reviews, but I feel compelled to do so after interacting with Heather at the Blakeney location. It is not often that someone goes above and beyond for months trying to troubleshoot. This is exactly what Heather did. With each issue, she was incredibly calm, determined, understanding and a true patient advocate. Add in the warmth and cheerleading of Nicole, and I am not sure one could ask for a better experience. I love when things go right the first time around, but life rarely affords that option. I am unbelievably impressed when people like Heather stay on the journey through the bumps and adjust the winds for success. Thank you!

Thank you so much Danielle, we really appreciate your thoughtful review and will pass this on to Heather.
I had a great experience with Joy helping me select my glasses and was very knowledgeable of the types of progressive needs i had. Dr. Barrows as usual, did a wonderful job with my eye exam. This is my second year with them and been happy with their office.
Dr. Majors as well as all the staff Gina, Dez, and ESPECIALLY Casey, over in the eye glasses department, were all excellent. This was my first time being with Piedmont Eye, as my previous provider had closed down due to economic reasons. I was referred by a friend to try them out and I truly was not disappointed. After working with Gina in the contacts department, who was friendly and efficient, I then went to Casey after the exam for an eyeglass consultation and fitting. I was reluctant to work with her at first, but then she was slow and patient with me even, helping me pick out a wonderful selection. She told me all my out-of-pocket expenses before I committed. She took her time going over various options with me of what was within my budget, and what my insurance covered. At the end, I was so EXCITED to have picked out a new pair of glasses that she herself picked out by using my previous lens style. Now I absolutely can’t wait for my glasses to come in and will request that I specifically work with Casey for the fitting. Again, everyone from the moment I walked in welcomed me with smiles and kindness. I am very happy with selecting Piedmont for all of my eye care needs.
I had a great experience here. All of the staff were friendly and professional. Gina took me back from the waiting room and efficiently completed my eye pressure exam, retinal photos and helped me realize that daily contacts were better suited to my wearing habits. Dr. Barrow allowed me time to ask questions and provided useful information on how I can keep my eyes healthy. Finally, Shaina helped me to order my new contacts and made sure I had my itemized receipt, so I could submit a claim to my HSA. All in under 45 minute. Thank you all 🙂
Love Dr Major… she knows her stuff and has a great personality. She was my eye doctor for 5+ years, always great. I moved about an hour away from the Blakeney location. I tried another eye doctor, closer to my new home and regretted it. She’s worth the drive, I won’t be going anywhere else.
Shaina helped me with my glasses and she was awesome. She listened to what I liked, found options to try on and gave me her honest opinion, which I appreciate. Love the glasses we selected!

I have been using Piedmont Eye Care for quite a number of years now and on every visit I have received the same “exceptional/outstanding” service starting with the Front Desk, to the Technicians, and the Doctor’s. Their examinations are very comprehensive and methodical; they have a great team. Today Brandon helped me select the right pair of glasses that was a good fit for me and that met my needs. Brandon was fantastic, he could not have done more to ensure that I was happy with everything; thank you! It was a wow visit.
Everyone was great as usual! I am sorry I don’t recall everyone’s names. The person who greeted me was very efficient and nice. The vision assistant who did all must tests and got my situated was so helpful and answered all my questions. The doctor also was efficient and also answered my questions. Brandon was the best! He went over in detail the pricing for my frames and lenses and helped my find the best posting for me. Thanks!
Piedmont Eyecare Blakeney; best in Charlotte! You will be greeted with a smile and they will know your name! Everyone is professional, kind and knowledgeable. Our family works with Kris J. and I can’t say enough good things about her and the customer services she provides. She has awesome style and is talented in helping you select the perfect pair of glasses that not only look great, but fit great. She always goes the extra mile and makes you feel like family. Your glasses will look and fit perfectly when you leave. Our experience is always a 10/10!
Dr. Philippe and his team are outstanding! They are all so nice and caring! I couldn’t be happier with what all him and his team have done for my vision care! He gives you an honest evaluation and discusses options with you but explains the options on your level of understanding. The entire team at Piedmont EyeCare are stellar and the service is a 5 star experience! More doctors offices should treat their patients like this versus a process of shuffling people through.
Keep up the outstanding job and Thank You All for what you do everyday! 🤗
