Dr Choate was recommended to me by my eye dr in Florida. I drive about an hour to get to his office but it is worth it. Dr Choate is great, as well as the staff. I highly recommend Dr Choate. View On Google

I have been a patient for almost twenty years. Dr. Choate and his team are the best in the industry. During my last visit Dr. Choate was extremely busy with one case being urgent. He still took the time to fully evaluate me, discussing treatment options and offered optical counsel in regards to a vision issue. I never felt rushed. If you are looking for a true professional Walter is the best! He can handle everything from a simple eye exam to surgical follow up. If you are fed up trying the rest, make plans to go see the best and call them today. View On Google

For anyone who hasn't made the decision to have cataract surgery, do not delay. I put it off as long as I could because I was simply scared to death thinking about having surgery on my eyes. Dr.Choate recommended Dr. Aaron Porter with Cool Springs Surgical Associates to do my surgery and it went without any complications. I saw him in the office at Choate Eye Associates for my initial consultation which was very convenient for me. My surgery was scheduled for the Franklin Surgery Center in Franklin but I had change to the Northridge Surgery Center in Madison due to issues of convenience on my part. Zack, Dr. Porter's surgical coordinator, was so helpful in taking care of this for me and I could not have asked for a nicer person to deal with this issue. Dr. Choate kept telling me that I wouldn't believe the difference it would make in my life once I had the surgery and he was so right. Yesterday I drove my car for the first time in my life without my glasses...simply amazing!!!!!! It has been less than a week since I had surgery on my left eye and I am so looking forward to having my right eye surgery in a few weeks. Sooner if possible. Dr. Choate and his staff have been so wonderful and patient with me throughout this whole process. If you want a good eye care professional to take care of your eyes, then Choate Eye Associates is where you want to be. View On Google

Dr Choate has been amazing in helping me with my eye issues. He has been able to fit me into contacts where no one else was. He has been a lifesaver for me! His office staff is also very knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend this office to everyone!

I've been going to Choate Eye Associates for many, many years (since I was a kid). Dr. Choate knows exactly what he's doing, and I can wager that he's the best of the best in Middle Tennessee. I feel very comfortable coming here because I know I'm in good hands.

The staff is very polite and professional, the eye exams are extensive yet at the same time very efficient (it doesn't take too much time out of my day). The machinery they use is extremely advanced for detecting any kind of eye issue.

Two specific things that I really like about Choate:

1) They have an extensive collection of eyeglasses that they carry with all kinds of brands and fashions. A lot of people in my generation go the Warby Parker route but that's unnecessary hassle for the selection they have, especially since you're already present for an eye exam anyways.

2) They work really well with my insurance. I recently had a comprehensive eye exam, ordered 6 months worth of daily contact lenses, and bought a new pair of glasses for a very reasonable total price.

Very solid place, you won't find much better in Middle TN. View On Yelp

Great experience and extremely satisfied! I have had issues with my contacts/glasses for years now and Dr. Choate seemed to have relieved all my issues and nailed my prescription the first time on top of that. He coordinated the most in-depth eye evaluation I have ever received and felt very satisfied by the information by him and his staff given to me every step of the way. It has been amazing how much clearer I am able to see, truly is the best Dr you can go to in the region. The staff has very nice, professional, and friendly. The optician Barbara was also very helpful and helped me select the perfect pair of glasses. This place deserves a 10/10 and will be the only place I will recommend. View On Google

I have had several eye exams through the years, but I've never had a more thorough and informative exam as the one I had with Dr. Choate and his staff.  The office staff are very friendly and informative.  The Dr has the most up to date machines (some I've never seen before) throughout the office.  I LOVE glasses and was able to find so many I wanted!  They also take my insurance which fits into my budget!  Love this place!

The office staff was very friendly when I got there. The technicians were friendly and helpful in explaining what we were doing. They have a lot of advanced technology that even I had never seen and I’ve been to Vanderbilt and many different eye doctors in the past. Dr. Choate was very professional and wanted to get all of my medical records and see me back in a month. Overall I would definitely go back to see him again. And tell everyone I know to go as well..... let’s see what my bill ends up being.

I went back to pick up my frames and get them fitted. It was quick easy and they did an awesome job fitting my new frames to my non proportional ears. Lol I am very pleased with the professionalism and service that I have received along with the products. This is the best prescription I’ve had and I feel that I can see significantly better.

This was the first eye exam I have ever received and Dr Choate was very thorough & patient! As for the review stating the staff was stuck up - farthest statement from the truth! They were all amazing! Barbara Fernandez in particular took over an hour to help me get the right frame for my face! I would definitely recommend them to all of my family & friends! View On Google

My first eye appointment with Choate was excellent. Dr Choate and his staff were extremely accommodating. They got me in the same day, helped me with everything, were patient and understanding and so friendly! I had to bring my 10 month old with me and after an hour she got fussy ( I had a long exam - haven't been in years) and they were so kind to me and entertained her as well. I never once felt like I was a bother to them. I will always recommend them from now on! View On Yelp

My son and I have been patients of Dr. Choate since 2001.  Dr. Choate and his staff are ALWAYS courteous and professional.  What I appreciate about Dr. Choate is he is very attentive to his patient's needs.  My son suffered a head injury that caused a mass to form in his eye.  It obstructed his vision and had it not been for Dr. Choate taking time to go above and beyond we never would have known.  Dr. Choate's recommendation helped my son regain his sight.  More than this, Dr. Choate talked to my son on a personal level after learning that he had been suffering from depression.  I am forever grateful to Dr. Choate for caring enough to listen and talk with my son.  It made a huge difference.

I absolutely love the staff of Choate Eye Associates! My daughter's name was called after no more than a 15 minute wait (I'd barely finished filling out the paperwork at that point). We didn't have to wait again after being taken back to the examination room either because she was seen by the doctor immediately. Thanks to the state of the art technology and expertise of the doctors and staff, the examination my daughter received was fast yet thorough. The doctor had a great bedside manner that put my daughter at ease and made her feel comfortable as well. I just wish there were more medical providers out there like Choate Eye Associates.
