I've literally been looking for a great eye place for YEARS! My eye doctor retired years ago and it'... s been very unpleasant for me trying to find a great eye doctor and team. I didn't want my daughter to go through the same experience and at Family Eyecare, she did NOT have an unpleasant experience! We're so pleased on how the appointment went, they understood it was her first time and that she's shy, so they treated her accordingly! She's also a teenager and they were very professional and kind to her. I would also like to mention they were efficient and fast! This is will be our permanent eyecare place! 10/10 recommend.

Dr Dettmer and his staff are very kind and professional. They were able to get me in and begin treat... ment on my eye problem even though I’m not a regular patient. However, my husband is a patient of Dr Dettmer and is very pleased with the services there. I highly recommend Family Eye Care in Osage beach as well as Dr Eveland in Camdenton office. Susan Bubac
