I highly recommend Dr. Brien. She is very professional, helpful, caring and kind. She explains things in easy to understand terms. She keeps a close check on my eyes due to my diabetes, the steroids I have had to take for bronchitis and past eye surgeries I have had. She has helped me heal and stop the pain from dry eyes. She is working with me now to schedule cataract surgery. I am so thankful she has been there since my eye doctor of 23 years retired.

Without question IMO there is no optometrist better than Dr. Brien. I’ve worn glasses since age 9, I’ve lived in 7 different states, and a handful of different countries outside the USA, so to say I’ve seen a slew of optometrist before reaching my 65 years on earth is a bit of an understatement. I’ve also had some complex issues with my eyes, but Dr. Brien is so through and successfully finds what I need each time, always willing to help even with complicated issues. TYSM Dr.Brien!

Calling multiple times and long waits on hold to get an appointment opening 3 months out when my eyes are driving me crazy. Sorry, she was very nice but I am going to have to find another doctor who has time to see me when I need it.

I have been coming here for quite a few years and from the front desk to opthamologist tech to the eye doctor they are all very nice and professional. I would highly recommend Asheville Eye!
