Northbrook Family Eye Care

Staff is friendly and helpful. Dr Udesky is great, very friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to help explain things. Hours are awesome if you work during the day. A very good experience all around.

Dr. Udesky is great, and his staff are too!

My friend recommended this eye doctor because she was related to him. He was very thorough and took his time with me. An old fashion doctor with a nice practice. What a pleasure

I live downtown and driving to Northbrook is well worth the outstanding and prompt service!

Dr. Udesky simply makes you feel comfortable. His approach helps you understand your vision and he gives you options on how you can manage it. He is incredibly personable and is understanding. I can’t recommend him more!

Northbrook Family Eyecare has customer service that goes above and beyond — and I don’t even go here. Here’s how I know:
I was in town over Christmas, and accidentally flushed my contacts down the drain. Being the irresponsible college student I am, I also didn’t pack any extras. I called around to some optometrists in the area, and fortunately, their office was one of the few open on the day after Christmas.
I brought in a prescription and they gave me a pair of contacts as a courtesy — saving my vision for the rest of the trip. They are really great people. I would recommend checking them out of you are looking for an optometrist.

I should wear glasses all the time, but I prefer to walk around blind and just wear them while driving. I have one newish pair (and by newish I mean 3 years old) of glasses in one car and another pair from high school (no joke) in my other car. I decided it may be time to take advantage of my bi-​annual free pair of glasses (yay vision insurance!) and replace the high school glasses.
I haven’t been to the eye doctor since moving from the city over a year ago and wanted to find someone local. And that’s how I found myself in the hands of Dr. Udesky.
I made an appointment online a few weeks before (easy peasy) and even filled out all my insurance info. Unfortunately, the receptionist didn’t take the time to process it all beforehand so I had to answer a few questions about my vision insurance when I first arrived, but fortunately it didn’t take too long.
Dr. Udesky himself is great. He’s very personable, knowledgeable & didn’t seem concerned that I walk around blind as a bat. After a comprehensive eye exam & some fun chit chat I was ready to choose a new pair of glasses from his lovely shop. Ta ta high school glasses! The receptionist helped me pick out a pair of Tom Ford glasses that I liked as much as I could like any pair of glasses. My insurance covered a good portion of it, but by the time i paid for everything (eye exam, expensive frames, clip for extra sunny days, etc) I owed a few hundred dollars. Then again not bad since I tend to keep glasses for 15 years!
They told me the glasses would be ready in about 2 weeks and I received a call that they had arrived exactly 2 weeks later! Since then I“m loving my new glasses, including the clip that I thought would look totally dorky, but actually nicely transforms my glasses into a fashionable pair of sunglasses.
The office/​shop is also conveniently located in the same center as Once Upon a Grill* and Dairy Queen. That alone is an excuse not to wait years for another eye exam.

I was in the market for a local eye doctor. I was leaving town for a week and realized I was out of contacts. This was an emergency situation, and Dr. Udesky came to my rescue. I called a few doctors before connecting with him. He was a great optometrist. I felt he went above and beyond to accommodate my situation. His office is modern and clean. I will definitely be using his servicess again in the future.
