Primary EyeCare - Columbia

I cannot say enough good things about Primary EyeCare. After experiencing a failed laser eye surgery elsewhere, I had a lot of questions and anxiety. The team here went completely above and beyond to answer all my questions with incredible patience and clarity. Furthermore, their expertise is unmatched. I wear hard contacts that I didn't even purchase from them, yet they took the time to thoroughly explain proper care and maintenance—providing me with crucial information that no other eye doctor had ever given me before. They are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely care about their patients. Highly recommend!

If you were looking for an eye care, doctor, I highly suggest Primary Eyecare in Columbia! They are by far better than their competitor in town, exceptionally professional and thorough

I’ve been going to Primary EyeCare ever since I moved to the area and I’ve always received the best care. The entire staff is friendly and a joy to interact with. My questions are answered in detail, my eyes have improved since working with them, and the wait is reasonable. They also have a nice selection of frames!

I was looking for a new eye doctor, and am very pleased with the services provided by Dr. Hall and her staff. Dr. Hall is super friendly and thorough. She takes the time to explain everything and answers all questions. Staff is amazing and knowledgeable.

I recently had the best experience I’ve had in a long time at Primary EyeCare. From the moment I walked in, the staff was excellent—welcoming, professional, and efficient. It’s clear they truly care about their patients and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. I especially want to recognize Michael for his friendly demeanor and outstanding guidance in helping me choose my glasses. His expertise and honest recommendations made the process easy and enjoyable. I truly appreciated his help and felt confident in my decision. Overall, it was a smooth, positive experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Primary Eyecare to anyone looking for quality eye care and exceptional customer service.

Primary Eye Care does Thorough examinations With state of the art equipment. The doctor and staff are professionals yet friendly and welcoming. They are a little out of the way for me, but I like this office so well I continue to go.

After my glasses got rearranged by my toddler, the nice people at primary eye care were able to restore my glasses and even put new nosepads on them (pic of damaged glasses). Highly recommend!

I had my first appointment here today. They were so kind and helpful. I had Chrystal and Doc Engle. They were both so sweet, answered all my millions of questions. I am definitely going back. Highly recommend!!

Very positive experience. The staff was friendly and professional, and the eye exam was thorough and efficient. Dr. Engle explained everything clearly and answered all my questions. I felt comfortable throughout the visit and would definitely recommend this office.

Been going to this place over 10 years. They’re great. Young and Engle are both great. The staff is great and the techs are very personable. You can’t go wrong here

I have been a patient here for several years, and every time I see them, they are overly friendly and very patient focused. Krystal genuinely cares about people and makes the whole process very smooth and efficient. I would recommend this practice to anyone that may be looking for a new eye care doctor.

My first visit at Primary Eye Care in Spring Hill Tennessee was on August 27, 2025. Dr Engel is polite, professional and he has a very comforting personality. I was very pleased with the services and the outcome of my visit. Thank you, to all the staff for your professional and welcoming services VW

I’ve been seeing Dr. Engle for years and still make the hour drive to see him. He’s honest, knowledgeable, and always takes the time to explain my options. Plus, he’s funny and makes eye appointments enjoyable.

My family and I have been patients of Primary Eyecare for decades. From years of exams, eyecare, glasses and contacts and recently cataract surgery oversight. I find they keep up with the latest technology, techniques and equipment on top of simply being nice and patient listening professionals. Dr Van Hoven is our provider that we trust and return to year after year, even my daughter who is a Dr that resides in CT within a prestigious healthcare community comes back annually to Dr Van Hoven for her eyecare needs. The group at Primary Eyecare is that special in the care they provide.

Excellent quality of care and service. I have been seeing Dr. Engle since I moved back to Tennessee and enjoy having a consistent honest, caring and friendly doctor. They never push unnecessary products or services, are always prompt and kind.

In general primary eye care does an amazing job. They have the latest technology and I felt more comfortable with their exam and diagnosis than I did going to Vanderbilt. Dr. Ken Young was awesome and very informative. I have recommended family and friends to them.

I hadn't had an eye exam since I was in grade school, so I felt like it was about time to get things checked out. The scheduling process was very simple. The staff was friendly and walked me through every step of the exam. Dr. Channappa thoroughly explained my results and found a prescription that was the best fit for me. I'd highly recommend Primary EyeCare!

I feel like I am in excellent care. Everyone is helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend Dr. Vanhoven and Primary Eye care to everyone. My son referred us here when we moved to Nashville in 2011.
