Andrea M Barnhart, OD

Dr. Barnhart is amazing! She was able to pin point my prescription just perfect. She takes her time with every patient to make sure that they are getting the right prescription. I would recommend her to anyone who has a weird eye prescription.
Her staff on the other hand needs to check their attitude at the door especially Dana the optician. When I went to pick out my glasses he had horrible taste and was not helping me with what fits me but with whatever he wanted. So finally I picked my glasses then when I got home I was showing a friend online and saw that they come in black with the crystal sides which is exactly what I ordered. I called back right away and asked if they were able to get them in that color, Dana sat on the phone with me for 10 minutes arguing with me about how ugly they were but I stood my ground and asked again if they can be ordered, he said yes and finally ordered them for me. I was then told by a staff member that they were ready so I went in fo pick them up and she made a mistake they weren’t. When the receptionist went and asked Dana if he had seen them he again loud as can be so everyone that was in the lobby could hear told the receptionist that I wanted them special ordered and he had to call in the order and do extra work. His tone was rude and undermining. I was an optician for 2 years and I have never treated customers like he does. It was the worst experience ever!

I have been going to Dr. Barnhart for the last 5 years and have always had a pleasant experience. She offered great advice for long term eye health and takes the time to understand your concerns. The staff is very nice and made sure the insurance issues were always taken care of before I left. Also, appointments always start on time which is important for me!

I love Andrea! She always takes her time with me, and we crack up about little things. She goes the extra mile to get it right as well, and to explain my options. Dana is a little gruff, but he always picks out the right glasses for me. I love this place… and that it’s like 4 blocks from my apt. :-)

One of the worst experiences I have had in Bankers Hill. Andrea Barnhart was a great optomotrist. It was the incompetent employees that ruined this one for me.
After a very lengthy assesment Andrea had me throw the contacts I had in away. Then I was instructed to meet with an older gentleman who informed me that the contacts I required were deluxe and that I was going to have to pay upwards of $ 300 to purchase them. He also told me that mrs. Barnhart was going to require me to get glasses. Total bill was going to be $ 700 WITH INSURANCE!
I informed them that I wanted to explore some other options, and that I was late for a dinner. I asked to have me persription so that I could just purchase them elsewhere.
Thats when I was informed that I needed to take the trial pair out of my eyes and give them back because I was not going to return. Not only was that disgusting, but it was a huge liability.
In the end I walked right out. They billed my insurance company for the visit AND the contacts. When I returned to confront them it took 3 weeks for them to unbill it. And they refused to give me my prescription. Which made my visit pointless. SO in the end I have to wait a full year for another assesment, and I cant buy contacts. I created this account just so that I could make this Unilocal.This place is a joke, and I hope that it goes under due to costco and lenscrafters.

Excellent service and an excellent optometrist! Dr. Barnhart takes her time with you, making sure you’re comfortable with the prescription she prescribed. Her assistant Natasha is wonderful and very friendly. They are great people to work with and extremely accommodating!
Highly recommended!
