The doctors are the best!

Our entire family LOVES Thurmond Eye Associates in Burlington!!!

The doctors are the best! I’ve never had an eye doctor that was willing to sit and explain how my diet affects my eyesight, how different medication might affect my eyes, exercises I can do with my eyes to help improve my eyesight, etc.

They are all about educating their patients so that their patients have the information they need to get healthy vision and keep healthy vision. They are extremely thorough every year when checking our eyes and then Jason is irreplaceable when it comes to helping us choose our new glasses each year. The entire staff at the Burlington office is incredible. It’s the one doctor appointment that the whole family looks forward to every year. They’re an absolute joy to see and I know that my family could not be in better hand when it comes to the health of our eyes and vision. I highly recommend Thurmond Eye Associates for all ages. We have been bringing my kids since they were small and now as adults they refuse to go anywhere else.

Everyone at Thurmond is great!

Everyone at Thurmond is great! You are warmly welcomed from the minute you walk in the door. Everyone takes care of you, and is very knowledgeable. That is why I continue to drive 150 mi to see Dr Thurman rather than finding an eye doctor down here.
