In Their Own Words — Experiences shared by our patients at Premier Eye Associates
- MzNxunSo glad to see Dr.Rose back in Prattville Al
We were almost stalkers! We could not find her anywhere Dr Roseshe did a wonderful job We knew she was a high Alabama fan so I we got her a welcome back gift…. #TeamRoseTeamPremierEyes Great day for Prattville! GreatTechOfficeManagerOptician polish each other. Beautiful Officeread moreread lessCheryl A.Premiere is the best! My frames to my glasses broke and the practice where I was receiving care were no help at all. Premiere helped me locate an identical pair of frames, fit the lenses for me, gave me an appointment for the next week. It was the most thorough and well explained eye exam in all of my years here in Auburn!read moreread less - Faustine C.I want to publicly thank all of the associates that we met on our day of service. We experienced such kindness and knowledgeable service. My husband and I are looking forward to remaining your patients for a long time to come. I would recommend your services to anyone !!!!read moreread lessRachel J.I've been struggling with life-altering vertigo for about a year. Suspecting it could be connected to my vision, I shared my symptoms with Dr. Rose. She listened attentively, never rushed me, and immediately began running tests. In doing so, she discovered an issue with my eyes I didn’t even know I had—one that could be contributing or causing my vertigo.
What truly stood out was how patiently and clearly she explained everything to me. She answered all of my questions thoroughly and made sure I understood my condition. She’s also extremely kind and has fantastic bedside manner. After seeing many doctors over the past few years, I can confidently say Dr. Rose is only the second doctor who made me feel seen, heard, and cared for. Because of all of the negative experiences I’ve had with doctors, I usually go into appointments not expecting doctors to care or help me, so her compassion and determination to get to the root of the issue meant the world to me.
Afterward, I was helped by Ellen to order my new glasses. I asked her a ridiculous amount of questions, and she answered every single one with kindness and patience. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free. So far my glasses seem to be helping with my vertigo (yay!)!
I can’t recommend Premiere Eye Associates enough. If you’re looking for thorough, compassionate, and truly excellent care—this is the place.read moreread less - Emily J.I had a medical eye emergency and needed to be seen by an in-person physician. I discovered that many Optical shops now do not have staff in office, but rather virtual consultations. I called Premier Eye Associates in Opelika and they directed me to their Auburn office who had in-person physicians. They did not have any appointment available until the next day, but given my urgent situation they were able to work me in the same day. I ended up needing a foreign body extracted from my left eyeball. (Likely a splinter from my eyeliner pencil- OUCH!). I recieved an Rx for antibiotic eye drops and a follow up appointment. My husband and I have both had LASIK years ago and do not carry a Vision policy so we were self pay for services not covered under our medical insurance. Even at self pay rate, it was affordable. I absolutely reccommend, especially if you will need more eye care than just a prescription for contacts or glasses.read moreread lessLuis V.My wife and I were very pleased with the service that we received. The doctor and the employees were very knowledgeable about everything. The doctor took her time to explain ( in words that we could understand ). If you are looking for a really good eye doctor this is the place to go.read moreread less
- Miranda H.I ended up getting a completely free pair of glasses ($250 frames) with my purchase of a yearly supply of contacts. I actually like the new (free) glasses better than my current pair I paid over $300 for. The worker I was placed with was new, but she made sure every question I had was answered correctly.read moreread lessLanie S.The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They took their time answering my questions and I never felt like they were in a hurry to get me out so they could move to the next patient. They helped me with my selection of glasses. Again, they took the time to answer questions and made sure I understood their answers. I would definitely recommend them.read moreread less
- Raquel D.This was my first time utilizing Premier Eye Associates and it was certainly a pleasant experience. From the time I arrived, to completing my eye exam and picking out new glasses and contacts, I felt welcomed, valued and appreciated. Granted I spent a little more on (glasses/contacts) than I expected, but it was definitely worth it and I would do it again! Dr. Rose and her staff definitely know how to go above and beyond! It's hard to find good customer service and good doctors/staff these days, but Premier Eye Associates definitely understood the assignment. If you are in the market for a new optometrist, do yourself a favor and make an appointment today. It's as easy as going to their website, looking at the availability calendar and entering your info. You don't even have to call.read moreread lessLA S.I had a great experience at Premier Eye Associates. It was a nice space and the staff were all super nice! They were professional, efficient and friendly and answered any questions I had. Dr Taylor-Rose was really awesome and fun! I also really enjoyed working with Ellen who helped me choose a new pair of glasses! She had great advice and a sweet personality.
Can’t wait to pick up my glasses in 2 weeks! Next I will be bringing in my teen son and husband!read moreread less - Joe C.As I walked through the front door, Victoria greeted me with a pleasant smile and an obvious intent to address my needs.
Chae, the person who did the initial testing of my eyes, was very thorough. It was quite clear that she had years of experience. That lady knew what she was doing.
Dr. Rose delivered an overarching caring approach as she competently moved through my eye examination. In addition to her competence, she has a pleasant personality and refined people skills; I was left hoping a defect of some type (hopefully minor) would be discovered so that I could return in a couple of weeks. I was ready to return before I even left Premier’s office.
Then, as if that wasn’t enough to start formulating my commitment to making Premier my long-term choice for vision care, Ellen and Andrea double-teamed me on the way out for frame selection and finalizing my order. They were both delightful. By the way, it was Andrea’s first day on the job—one thing that was clearly not new to her was her service orientation. And Ellen showed her seasoned ability to address all my questions.
I spoke with Betty in a follow-up call inquiring about pickup dates. She patiently addressed my question and had a cheerfulness that added to the Premier experience – leaving me blown away by the consistent high-caliber service provided throughout Premier’s entire office— truly mind-blowing!
Any of the experiences with even a single associate identified above is enough to make a person want to visit Premier Eye Associates. However, when an entire team clicks as they do, you’ll ask yourself, as I did, why anyone would go anywhere else for their vision care.
Kudos to Premier for installing such a super team!read moreread less - Jeannie B.I have had very positive experiences with Premiere Eye Associates from the front desk staff, the technicians, the office manager and Dr. Spina:) Ellen was absolutely fantastic! She is such a delightful soul😊she helped me choose between several pairs of glasses, which I greatly appreciated. My contacts were not fitting quite as well as I’d like so I called the office and they were able to see me the same day and Dr. Spina discussed the issues I was having and gave me a few different options and gave me some new trial contacts which I believe will fix the problem:) Santana, the office manager has always been very helpful and professional:) everyone seems to really enjoy their job and they are all very polite, professional and friendly! I hate that I don’t remember everyone’s names, but they are all wonderful 😊read moreread less
- Jarrett H.I had a very pleasant eye exam at Premier Eye in Auburn. The very helpful and friendly receptionist, Hannah, got me checked in. Shay did a great job walking me through a handful of eye tests and questionnaires. She was super easy to talk to and very professional. Then Dr. Spina met with me and also conducted some eye tests. He was very friendly and gave me great information about glasses that would be good for somebody who looks at screens all day. Afterwards, Victoria helped me pick out some new frames. She was very nice and gave me some super helpful feedback.
All things considered the price seemed high for the services offered, even after insurance. However, the staff did an amazing job and I have nothing except praise for them. I’m looking forward to my next visit.read moreread lessDeAnne B.It was with great relief that I was able to be seen by Premier Eye Associates for an eye emergency the day before Thanksgiving. Their care, concern and commitment to excellence was very impressive to me as a new patient.I was very pleased with the professionalism of the office staff and the eye evaluation/care given by Dr.Spina.read moreread less - Alex R.Just had my contact exam and was fit for glasses. Alexis provided phenomenal customer service. She was very personable and professional. She laid out all the pricing and was very thorough in explaining the entire visit. They were also able to see me on short notice. Loved the service I received here. 5 stars all around.read moreread less
- Brianna W.Today was my first visit at Premier Eye Associates and I’ve never had a smoother experience. Aubrey was super nice and helpful. She made me feel comfortable and kept conversation. She answered all of my questions with no hesitation and no attitude. She seems happy and jolly about her place of business. She’s a great worker!read moreread lessJamie B.My daughter and I had appointments this week and I was so pleased with the office. Especially with Aubree who did our testing. My daughter is 6 and it was her first eye exam. She was nervous, but Aubree was amazing with her! She tested her stuffed cat first, let her press buttons and see how the machines worked. She was better than some pediatric office workers with my daughter! Thank you for helping her to not be nervous with her first exam!read moreread lessVanessa S.I had a GREAT experience at premiere eye.

- Rebekah K.Loved that I was able to get a very last minute appointment for a medical issue. The office is busy but clean and efficient. Everyone was kind. Dr. Spina was kind and calmed my fears. I am already significantly better thanks to their care only two days later! I will continue going back to this office!read moreread lessJason T.Brooke was amazing. She was diligent but Also didn’t forget I was a person and actually took time to have a short conversation, answered my questions and had a lovely smile the whole time.
Dr. Clark again took time to have a conversation with me and explain things to me. Very nice folks. I’ll be back next year.read moreread less - June M.The whole staff from the office were so friendly. New patient check in was so easy. Haley was my tech and made me feel so comfortable with her part of the eye exam, ask for her she was great!! It was a great visit, very comfortable and the doctor answered all my question, Great service!!read moreread lessDevan H.I took my 7yr old for an eye exam after it was recommended to me by her 1st grade teacher. All the staff were super friendly and personable. The tech that took care of her was so good with her. She even examined her comfort horse that she took with her. We got a big laugh out of that. Dr. Spina was sweet and to the point, which honestly was expected because there were a lot of patients that day. My Girl ended up having to get glasses and picked out the cutest pink pair. All in all it was a great experience and we definitely recommend.read moreread less
- Yerjin B.I had an excellent experience at Premier Eye Associates in Auburn. Aubrey took care to prepare me for my first appointment with my doctor, Dr. Spina took the time to assess and listen to my concerns, and Alexia made my glasses fitting a comfortable session. Overall, this is a wonderful clinic that work well together to serve their patients. Thank you all for what you do!read moreread lessStacy M.The office is nice and clean, the equipment is state of the art, the doctor and techs were all very professional and efficient. I did not like the front desk asking for my husbands social security # repeatedly when I know they can look up our vision insurance through his name and DOB. They do not need that personal info to look up a plan ever. I also did not like having to sign some form bc I would not give them his social security. Everything was great once I got past the front desk. Also the optical center tech(Hunter?)that helped me with my glasses order was awesome and so helpful and thorough with me. I would still recommend this eye doctor and practice even though I did not enjoy my front desk experience.read moreread lessDeborah B.From the moment I stepped in to Premiere Eye Care, I was treated so well! They were very attentive and answered all my Questions! Brooke who did all the exams, Santana, who helped me with my Glasses & Ashley at the front desk was all so nice and spent a lot of time with me explaining everything! And last but not least Dr Spina was very nice and explained everything and I never felt rushed! Recommend them highly!! Debbie Barnesread moreread less

He has always taken the best care of all my eye needs!! Not the mention the ladies at the front desk are organized and helpful! Lovely Ladies!!read moreread lessTommy T.Today's visit was beyond my expectations. Everyone I contacted before Premier Eye Associate didn't have any openings for an extended period of time. After speaking with one of the staff members for a short period of time, I had an appointment scheduled for the next day. Upon arrival I knew right away I was in the right place, receptionist was very professional, and pleasant, staff was very friendly, and intrested, in my needs, and medical issues. Doctor was very courteous, professional, and helpful. I was very impressed with the entire experience, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this establishment to friends, and family. If you haven't already been to Premier Eye Associate, you might want to give it a try. Thanks to the entire team!read moreread less
