I have to say, I was scared of having LASIK done. When I went to see Dr. Jain, he made me feel a lot better about doing it. I am beyond glad I listened to him. He is a wonderful doctor and so knowledgeable about the work that he does. I highly recommend Dr. Jain & Beach Eye Care. The whole process was amazingly easy and painless.”

Beach Eye Care is the very very BEST! I recently heard someone bragging about y’all when I was in my hair salon. I chimed in too, saying BEC was the BEST eye care available in Tidewater — or anywhere for that matter! Thank you again for your excellent service.”

The entire staff, and I mean everyone at Beach Eye Care each went out of their way to assist me in every way, every time I visited.. I couldn’t have been taken care of in a more friendly and knowledgeable manner! Thanks and keep up the great work!”

Chris R., April 2019

I’ve been going here for a few years Great staff. Very professional with awesome patient interaction. Nice modern office with most everything on-site.”

Don C., April 2019

Took my daughter for her yearly eye exam and we had a great experience. The staff was very friendly and patient with her, they took the time to explain all the tests and what they were checking for. The doctor spoke to her about her exam instead of talking around her like people tend to do with children. The optician was great with helping my daughter choose a frame that was the color she wanted and that flattered her face. Will be taking her back next year.”

Tamara C., April 2019

I would recommend Beach Eye Care to everyone. I have been a patient of theirs for many years. Great doctor. Great staff. Great care.”

Robert W., March 2019

Beach Eye Care on Holland Road has consistently given me the best eye Care I have ever had. They are detail oriented and have a wide array of technology that I feel let’s them take better care of my overall eye health. I’m so glad I found this place!!!”

Toni I., March 2019

Dr. Neatrour is amazing! He is very professional and I did my research and believe he is one of the best eye doctors in the country. He did my eye laser surgery and it was a complete success. I would recommend Dr. Neatrour to everyone.”

I would like to comment on how much I depend on the care that I receive from your office, and especially how Dr. Jain is so very special, as he makes me feel also. He is not only wonderful regarding his patient-doctor relation but his expertise and the perfect care for my eyes. No one could ever leave his office and feel as if he did not do enough or that you ever feel uneasy, that perhaps something could be wrong and may be did not tell you enough. There is no more to say, as not only is the office so wonderful from checking in to leaving, but the personal care I receive from Dr. Jain.”

Alice G., March 2019

Friendly Dr. & staff and all the technology in a clean and open environment. Nice office.”

Jennifer R., February 2019

Mark B., February 2019

I have been trying out different optometrists for years and finally my search is over! Not only did I have an amazing insightful experience here but the staff was very helpful and the doctor was more thorough than any other doctor encounter I have ever experienced!”

Kristin W., January 2019

Beach Eye Care has always provided excellent medical care for my vision requirements over many years. During my recent visit for eye care I also received that same excellent medical care and understanding for my needs.”

Don’t change anything, the doctor, his staff, the degree of professionalism, the personal touch, etc., etc,. super. Keep everything “Status QUO”. Your very satisfied patients will continue to be your patients. Excellent all around service…DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING”

Polly M, July 2016

Check- ups are always professional, prompt and pleasant experiences at Beach Eye-Care . Very glad I switched to this practice when I had my lasik surgery a few years back.”

Richard L, July 2016

Everyone was very nice. Everything was explained to me so I knew what was happening. The person in the optical dept. was very helpful in finding out my insurance discount & in finding the right frames for me.”

Janet L, April 2016

Great experience would recommend Beach Eye Care to anyone that I knew who needed eye exams, glasses etc”

Ann W, April 2016

I love Beach Eye Care and especially, Dr. Jain, who I am so grateful to for my super seeing eyesight. Every day I am thankful. Thank you to the staff at Beach Eye Care for their continued great services.”

Linda K, March 2016

Our visit was probably the absolute best experience we’ve ever had at an eye doctor. Your staff was efficient, super friendly, ever so helpful and, most importantly, incredibly knowledgable. Your selection of frames was also really nice with so many to choose from and the three of us found exactly what we wanted. All in all, I am and continue to be completely satisfied and incredibly impressed! In short, we’ll never go anywhere else.”

Barbara M, February 2016

Excellent experience. Staff members were efficient , courteous, and professional.”

Sandra N, February 2016

I am continuously impressed at the attention to detail, awareness, professionalism and level of service offered, that I encounter with every visit. Even when leaving with a painful eye situation, I leave with more knowledge then when I came and an upcoming solution to problems.”

Mary C, February 2016

I have confidence in the care I receive at Beach Eye Care. I appreciate that you use modern equipment.”

Daniel C, January 2016

I am very satisfied with Beach Eye Care. The outcome of my cataract surgery with laser vision correction is amazing! I have recommended to others.”

Kenneth C, January 2016

Beach Eye Care has state of the art Lasik equipment and the doctors are phenomenal! If you are worried about pain during Lasik have no fear, because I felt nothing but a little pressure (close your eyes and push on your eyelid and you’ll know what it feels like). I actually thought it was an amazing experience and I WENT FROM 20/500 VISION (not being able to see the top line 1 letter of an eye chart) TO 20/15, which is better than 20/20. Thanks Beach Eye Care and I will continue to highly recommend your company!”

Scott Mangieri, August 2013

From the Lasik consultation through the surgery follow-up, it was all a great experience. The staff was attentive and friendly. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Neatrour…he is friendly, informative, and seems to genuinely care about his patients. Never once did I feel like he was rushing through things with me, which I often find is a common experience with doctors. He talked through each step he took during the Lasik procedure so that I was prepared and more relaxed. I was especially impressed when he, HIMSELF, called me that night to see how I was doing! I will recommend him and Beach Eye Care to my friends!”

Shauna Mulkey Kale, July 2013

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can’t believe I waited so long to do this. What a pleasure to no longer need glasses for reading. I can’t thank Dr. Jain enough for his wonderful care.”

Chad Parker, June 2012

Getting lasik done was a great choice and Beach Eye Care was great. I can now wear sunglasses, not worry about breaking glasses playing sports and waking up and seeing what time it is among other things. So glad I did it!”

Eric Bohannon, June 2012

My vision has improved 100%. I can wake up and see the clock. I can drive without irritated eye from my contacts. I’m looking forward to donating my glasses.”

Susan Pauley, January 2012

I have been wearing contacts/glasses since I was in the 3rd grade. Now a teacher myself as well as very active in sports/water activities was just over glasses/contacts. Dr. Neatrour made me feel right at home and I am pleased with my 20/20 vision.”

Julia Head, December 2011

Thanks for my wonderful new eyesight – I may be 66 years old but I feel like I have the eyes of a child. I’m driving my son crazy; always asking him if he saw this or that. Like sunrises, sunsets, stars, the moon, a deer, etc. My overall experience with Beach Eye Care was great; friendly and caring. My vision is the best I have ever had in my lifetime. I’m enjoying my nature walks, movies, and UFC events even more.”

Janet Robbins, Cataract Surgery, 2010

From the moment I sat up from the chair, I knew my life was going to be different. Gone are the days of struggling with glasses and cases, organizing messy contact lenses and all its paraphernalia, it is now wake up and go! The individual attention given by the entire staff before, during and after my procedure really helped ease my nerves. Thank you so much Dr. Neatrour and the whole Beach Eye Care team! I wouldn’t trust my vision needs anywhere or to anyone else!”

Jean Rowe, IntraLASIK, 2004

I trust Dr. Neatrour and Beach Eye Care. They are my friends. They changed my life.”

Chris Wooldridge, EyeQ LASIK, June 2009

Beach Eye Care, from Dr. Neatrour to the entire staff, is the finest, most professional medical org. I have ever dealt with. Since my procedure about 3 months ago, my vision has improved to 20/25 in both eyes. I look forward to continued visual improvement and my new relationship with Beach Eye Care.”

Michael T. Thornburg, LASIK, February 2010

The staff at Beach Eye Care (is) amazing. From the beginning consult to the follow-ups after the procedure, everyone I came in contact with genuinely seemed to care about the quality of my vision. Everyone was always smiling, made me feel comfortable, and answered all questions I had. These were my eyes and I was not treated like just another patient. I appreciate everything Beach Eye Care provided: the great people, great service, and great eye-sight!

My vision has improved tremendously. I really enjoy not having to wear glasses. I can now wear sunglasses, which is awesome. I look forward to water sports without contacts.

Thank you again Beach Eye Care!”

Kirsten Mahon, EyeQ Lasik, March 2010

Dr. Neatrour,
You performed PRK surgery on our own Damion Rutherford (with 20/800 vision) on 2/19/10. Three days after surgery, he tested 20/30 (in both eyes)! And you performed LASIK on me on 2/14/08. Damion and I have been loving our results! Thanks so much… for helping our vision – such a precious gift!
Sincerely,

Stella Waltz, Owner JES, March 2010

I can’t believe the improvement in my vision. To be able to see this well makes it a great buy. Now in the morning I can see first thing, especially when reading things that are close up, such as writing this note now. It’s so nice to go to the store now and to be able to read the tags. I love to read books and it’s so much easier to read now. Thanks to Beach Eye Care I feel like a new person.”

Cheryl Liebold, Intralasik, October 2009

A Special Letter addressed to the optical department…
Brenda,
I received my glasses. I want to thank you for the extra effort you and Beach Eye Care made in getting my glasses made and shipped out to me. It’s very much appreciated. Now I can put away the goofy military issue ones and feel normal.

We had a great Thanksgiving overall with the mess hall doing a great job on a traditional Thanksgiving meal. That’s no small feat as this is a NATO HQ’s with military forces from all over the world here – so the mess hall staff has no experience at all with American cuisine.

I hope you and your family as well as all the staff had a wonderful holiday.
Best Regards,

Ben Barnhill, Kabul, Afghanistan, November 2009

On several recent visits, (including) one to your Independence Blvd office with Dr Tang, Dr and Staff were great. More recently, I have been to your First Colonial Road Office to see Dr Neatrour. Dr Neatrour and his entire staff have been excellent.”

Doug McCloud, Cataract Surgery with RESTOR Implants, November 2009

Marked and amazing distance improvement (after cataract surgery). Colors (TV and other) are brighter in surrounding areas both inside and outside. Driving… everything seems brighter and more clear. The film is gone! Much appreciation to Dr. Neatrour and entire staff. Each are gifted with an ability to put a patient (me in particular) at ease… encouraging and comfortable. Looking forward to sharing my positive experience with others.”

Mary S. Thompson, Cataract Surgery on her left eye Oct 2009 (standard PHACO w/NTIOL) and right eye November 2009 (PHACO w/NTIOL)

My vision is great – so nice to wake up and not look for my glasses. No fogging glasses or rain on my glasses! I look forward to many years of great vision. Swimming will be great! No contacts to worry about.”

Kim Ferrell, IntraLASIK EQ – September 2009

My vision is almost perfect (20/25). I enjoy not wearing contacts or glasses. The surgery was the best thing I ever did for myself. The treatment I received was in one word: WONDERFUL!”

Doris Doebler, IntraLASIK May 2009

I would like to take this time to say how great the service was I received. The staff was great and Dr. Jain was outstanding. The surgery center staff was also outstanding…”

Hubert G. Boaze, Cataract Surgery May 2009

Being a VB firefighter, my vision is truly important. I was in contacts for about 9-10 years. Thanks to Beach Eye Care, I no longer need contacts. The procedure was comfortable and painless. I would have recommended Beach Eye Care to everyone who wears glasses and contacts.
Thanks.

David Compton, LASIK March 2009

I was 20/400. I wore glasses since I was 7 yrs old, contacts since 11 yrs old. Now at 29, I can see my clock in the morning! I don’t worry about my one-yr old son finger-printing my glasses! I am 20/20 in the right and 20/40 in the left – soon to be 20/20 in both. Dr. N was awesome, kind, and patient.”

Jill Klaiber, PRK February 2009

First of all, best investment I could have ever made. Second of all, Beach Eye Care gets two thumbs up… what an awesome organization. You all demonstrated the highest professionalism with very pleasant personalities. My experiences were painless throughout the entire process. My vision… there are no words to express, I have awesome vision. It is a life changing experience for the better. Most of all, I can enjoy playing with my 11-yr old son in every sport and hobby. I can’t wait to go on our Disney land and sea vacation.”

Michael L. Everett, Sr., IntraLASIK February 2009

Absolutely everything I could have hoped for. A fantastic experience. What an invaluable gift…my eyesight! Thanks so much Dr. Neatrour and team.”

Joshua Shirley, IntraLASIK January 2009

Everything at Beach Eye Care has been great! From 20/2800 to 20/20. How can you beat that! I recently had to travel for work. It was great not to have to bring glasses and contact stuff and my eyes never felt tired. I can’t wait to open my eyes under water in the pool without fear of losing a contact.”

Jennifer Blachura, IntraLASIK EyeQ 2009

As a Franchise Development Representative for FranchiseThis, much of my time is spent in front of the computer and on the phone interviewing potential franchisees. I can’t tell you how great my Monovision has been. I have no need for readers and there’s no more switching back and forth between glasses. For the first time since the 6th grade, I have the pleasure of seeing without the assistance of glasses or contacts. I definitely consider Beach Eye Care THE premier eye care facility in this area, and quite possibly the country. The facility and management has almost a Disney-like quality in terms of professionalism and standards. I actually look forward to stopping in for regular visits, as I feel as though I am a part of a family where people have a genuine interest in my overall care.”

Bill Proferes, FranchiseThis! – Franchise Development
IntraLASIK™ Monovision 2008

I am able to exercise without the hassle of removing my glasses every 2-3 minutes. I love not having to worry about rain getting on my glasses, and I really enjoy being able to see when I get up in the morning or in the middle of the night should I get up. I also don’t have the guarded feeling I had when playing with my kids “always protecting my glasses.”

Frederick “Rick” Taylor, IntraLASIK™ CustomVue™ (iLASIK™) 2007

Amazing. For the first time in 20 years I can see in the shower. I have been to the beach and I don’t have to squint to see. It’s amazing to see underwater without a special face mask. I could never wear contacts. My vision is so clear I still reach for my glasses to adjust but they are not there. Highly recommend this procedure.”

Richard Lamark, IntraLASIK™ CustomVue™ (iLASIK™) 2007

I had been wearing glasses since the age of 11 years old. My husband had been encouraging me for years to have LASIK eye surgery and I decided to have it done for my 40th birthday. It has been one of the most liberating experiences in my life! I was able to have my driver’s license renewed without restrictions for the first time. I can see everything so clearly now. It has given me a newfound sense of self-confidence that I didn’t have before!”

Tina Butts, IntraLASIK™ CustomVue™ (iLASIK™) 2007

The only regret I have is not having the procedure done sooner. It is absolutely incredible that I can pursue my hobbies and daily life tasks with ease like putting on my make-up in the morning, reading a menu, and writing a check. It is truly wonderful and I would do it again.”

Petra Zayakosky, IntraLASIK™ monovision 2007
