Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I was called back 3 times for some tests then in room to see Dr. She came in and remembered me. She checked a few more things in my eyes and explained what she did

South Arlington texas location
Rip off they charged me 155.00 under medical and would not change to our vision insurance which would of been 20.00. Also staff was not helpful and we were there over 2 hours waiting.

I highly recommend Key Whitman and Dr Hardin
Everyone in the office, front desk also, was extremely nice and friendly. I’ve had several visits this year due to the situation with my eyes and Dr Hardin is the main doctor I’ve seen at the south Arlington location. She’s so thorough, never has rushed me, answered all my questions and has been a pleasure to have as my optometrist. All the tech girls have been wonderful too. I can’t praise this place and staff enough!

VERY courteous staff. Everyone from Dr. Hardin down had smiles. I felt like I was in a small town office and was treated like a family friend. Dr. Hardin and her tech never rushed me during my exam for contacts. Was a stress free visit. This is the best place for getting contacts.
