Testimonials

Rhonda Davenport

I have been a patient of Gary TBrush of Metopolis Il for more than 20years. My last appt was in 2024 at which time Mrs Brush searched for 6 weeks to find a particular pair of Oakleys I desired. I wore my contacts until she found & filled my prescription with a kind smile & attitude at which time I wrote a review of graciousness. A week ago I fell out my back door face down in the agrete, breaking my left hand, blacking the entire left side of my face & damaging my left knee. I can’t see without glasses & naurally could not put my contacts in swollen shut eyes. The Doc reexamined my eyes as being 3 months past due ‘& he did find a change. This was all done on wednesday & was called Friday & told my glasses were ready I was shocked. They explained the were told I had a mishap & was in need asap. I am so proud to say Dr. Gary T Brush will continue being my optician for a long time even thoough I have moved an hour & half away. Thanks to Dr., Mrs. Brush & staff Rhonda Medley Davenport Wickliffe, KY

They are awesome! I was lucky enough to have easy to make glasses, and they were done in about 20 minutes! They were also very kind and the prices were very affordable!

Thanks to Dr. Brush and his wonderful wife Linda for the excellent care that I received on my recent visit. I would recommend them to all of my friends and customers.

We visited Dr. Brush’s office today with a bit of sadness, as it was our first time not seeing Dr. Chris Beliles, our beloved optometrist who passed away in February. My daughter and I both realized that we made a wonderful choice when we decided to visit Dr. Brush! We felt so welcome and comfortable. Dr. Brush was so friendly and easy to talk to. He answered all of our questions and explained things in a clear, down to earth manner. Then we had a ball picking out glasses with our new friend Linda, who showed us many great options. She was patient, helpful, and fun as we selected two new pair of “face jewelry” for my daughter. She did a great job finding frames that pleased both mom and tween daughter (not a super easy feat!). We love the new glasses! They have a wonderful, diverse selection. And I was so pleasantly surprised by the price of the exam as well as the glasses! If going to the optometrist can be fun, then this definitely was! We have found a new “home” for our vision care, I’m so pleased to say. Thank you so much for such a nice experience! My daughter says to give you six stars (out of five). I wholeheartedly agree!!!!

Having glaucoma at age 43 after having perfect vision most of my life is terrifying. Dr. Brush explains everything so well to me and had made this much less scary. His wife and his entire staff there at his office are so helpful, professional and kind. Very happy with the service and care I received every time.

Dr. Gary Brush has been attending to my optical needs for the past 10 years. We appreciate the excellent care Dr. Brush affords to my husband, Melvin K. Brugger & I. We are both diabetic & that condition alters vision. He knows each of his patients personally & he keeps check on everything that affects vision. Blood pressure is also a factor that Dr. Brush monitors concerning his patients. We are thankful for the care that Dr. Brush affords to Melvin & I. We both recommend Dr. Gary Brush for all your eye needs.

Thank you Dr. Brush for the best eyeglasses I have had in over 30 years. I am so pleased with them and happy that I finally have glasses I can enjoy wearing. Thank you Linda for finding the perfect frames!
