Reviews for Phoenix, AZ Doctor of Optometry Dr. Mary Hardy
"From the moment I walked in the door, I received a friendly greeting and smile. Excellent staff and Dr Hardy. Very informative and just went that extra distance to form great patient relations."
"I absolutely love Dr. Hardy! Highly recommend"
"I really like my doctor Mary. She's personable and explains things well. I feel like they had some better designer stuff last visit but I still left with glasses I was happy with."
"I love this place so much. I absolutely would recommend this place to anyone with vision care needs. Dr Hardy is collaborative and attentive to your needs. Clear communication is something you don't get at other vision care places but Dr Hardy is on it. They don't overprice contact lenses either! They've even helped me out when I received a defective lens. I cannot recommend Dr Hardy or the staff here enough. 11/10 service, affordability and care if I could rate it that way."
"Dr. Hardy always listens to my concerns and recommends me the best options for my vision! I've been visiting since 2014."
"Dr Hardy is great. Explained every step of the visit, so kind and thorough. Staff is friendly and so helpful!"
"Dr. Hardy is an amazing doctor who makes you feel seen and heard. She has gone above and beyond to help me obtain care for some health concerns affecting my eyes. She listens, is respectful and non-judgmental, and doesn't rush you out of the office. She is extremely thorough and answers all your questions. The entire staff are friendly and accommodating. Dr. Amin is fantastic as well. My children have seen her since they had vision therapy. Every person who works there is knowledgeable and helpful."
"Dr Hardy took her time examining my child’s eyes. She was friendly, understanding, and overall very pleasant. She addressed all my concerns regarding the overall health of my 7 year old’s eyes who had eye surgery a few years back and I wanted to make sure if we need to intervene at home and patch his eye to strengthen the other one or not. She has put my mind at ease. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wonderful eye doctor for their little one."
"Been seeing Dr. Hardy for years...fantastic team and services."
"There are not enough good things I can say about the doctors, therapists and staff here. In 2019 I was in an auto accident that forced my eyes out of place. I was damn near ready to give up on life because there was no quality left. Dr. Hardy was able to diagnose my exact injuries and I was in vision rehab for it the very next day. Dr. Amin is one of the smartest, most incredible doctors. She goes above and beyond to help people. Her dedication and insight is ultimately the reason I can see again. I am grateful for her being in this field. Jen, my vision therapist, was the best person I could have ever hoped to work with. She always made sure we were adjusting to get the best possible outcome. She was the perfect amount of firm and guiding. The staff (well, really everyone here) is super warm and friendly. I always felt welcome and they made things more comfortable in what was an otherwise painful time of my life. If you've been struggling with eye problems, or even if you just want a super accurate prescription- go here."
"Dr. Hardy and team work so hard to provide the best service. I was so pleased when I walked in the door she remembered me and used my name. That meant so much to me. Really adding that little extra makes me feel special and I want to keep doing business with this doctor and center. My eyes have been killing me, and the headaches are never fun. When I received my new glasses I was so happy that I could see so much better with my left eye. I couldn't help but do a happy dance like a kid who has been blind this whole time and now have been given a new Chance with better vision!!!! So Happy with how everything turned out. Thank you Dr. HARDY AND TEAM...you all are the best."

"Dr. Hardy was fantastic. So thorough and caring! Would recommend them to anyone."
"I was very appreciative and pleased with the excellent service bestowed upon me when I informed Advance Vision that my eyeglasses were not functioning properly. Advance Vision immediately scheduled an appointment for me to come in to show how I was having the problem. Dr. Hardy and the vision tech ascertained that an adjustment had to be made so I would realize proper vision of objects, both near and far. I am extremely happy with my eyesight now. Thanks to Dr. Hardy and the Advanced Vision staff, I no longer have to raise my eyeglasses slightly away from my face in order to read or to do work on the computer."

I've been going to them for several years and Dr. Hardy is incredible and has helped me figure out what contacts I can wear and how to keep my complicated eyes happy. And if you need glasses, ask for Brooke to help you! She is the best at finding the right frames and is super kind and friendly. Grateful for this place :)"
"Dr. Hardy was very professional and friendly too! She was able to get my contact prescription very accurate and I think this is the best I've been able to see with contacts in a very long time!

The vison testing process is well conducted and the folks here are just great. Thanks, Mike"

"I was referred to this office a couple years ago when I had damage to my left eye in boxing. I saw Dr. Hardy. Haven’t needed to come back in a couple years but I’ve recently had eye issues while working from home. I saw Dr. Hardy again and she remembered me and my previous injury! She took as much time as I needed to answer all my questions, was great throughout the eye checkup, and walked me to the area for glasses afterward, making me feel super comfortable in an unfamiliar environment. The whole office was kind and helpful. I highly recommend!"
"I’ve been going here for years. They are friendly, on time and have a variety of frames. Dr. Hardy takes her time with you and explains everything. The young lady who helps select frames is super helpful and never pushy. Plus they took a pic of the inside of my eyeball which was super cool!"
"I was having a problem, they got me right in.. Dr. Hardy explained everything answered my endless questions patiently.. Love this office"
"Everyone is so nice and Dr. Hardy is amazing!"

I can not tell you how big of a difference that makes in someones life to trust their Dr's. Thank you soooooo much!"
"As like the my previous 5 years experiences at Advanced Vision with Dr. Hardy, my experience was excellent. I highly recommend Dr. Hardy."
"I have gone to several places to get my eye care. My last place was so frustrating. So I tried Advanced Vision. It’s been a few years now and I am always impressed with the service starting from making my appointment, seeing Dr Hardy who is the best, and the people helping me pick my glasses. From start to finish you get a 5 star experience."
"I was so excited to be able to see an eye doctor that wasn't just inside of a store for convenience. I chose Advanced Vision and Achievement Center from my insurance provider website, I read the reviews and knew it would be a good fit. Making an appointment with Dr. Mary Hardy online was easy and I was able to get the day and time I preferred. The office is clean, easy to find and welcoming upon arrival. I filled out paperwork ahead of time to make things faster and I practically got taken right back for the preliminary tests. The office staff was very friendly and thorough throughout the entire process. Dr. Mary Hardy was so pleasant to have as an optometrist, she really goes through all the scenarios to help you make your decisions. I also appreciated the time she took to answer questions and explain things to be. The variety of choices for glasses was phenomenal. So many choices, and Akeen was awesome helping me pick the perfect frames, he even tried them on for me so I could get a different perspective. I did not feel rushed or neglected when taking my time looking at frames. I ended up with 5 choices and picked my favorite ones. I'm so excited about my new glasses and have been telling everyone about my amazing experience at Advanced Vision. Thank You."
"This was my initial visit and I am very satisfied with everything - Dr. Hardy, the staff, and the exam. I look forward to continuing my vision care with Advanced Vision and Achievement Center."
"Great staff, customer service, and overall experience! Dr. Hardy has excellent chair-side manner and the opticians are honest and awesome. Decent eyeglass selection as well. Would recommend this place to anyone seeking an eye exam and/or new pair of glasses."
"I had the best eye exam I've ever had. They were thorough, patient, and Dr. Hardy listened to my concerns and reviewed all the tests. We drove across town for the appointment because my husband had seen Dr. Amin after having a concussion. She was amazing. We highly recommend Advanced Vision and Achievement Center. It's worth the drive and your time."
"Ive been coming here for about 3 years now the staff are all super friendly and theres never any pressure to buy the most expensive frames etc. The Dr is very friendly yet professional i recently referred my niece who had an eye concern and Dr Hardy and her staff went ABOVE AND BEYOND to help her with her concern. I will definitely recommend this office to any family or friends"
"I feel the staff is very professional and actually care about the health of my eyes. Last year when I saw Dr Hardy, she recommended vitamins for my eyes, because my mother has macular degeneration in her eyes, it is hereditary so I started the vitamin and this year I had wonderful news, not only is my macular degeneration decreasing, my vision is better than last year. I am very pleased with Advanced Vision and would and have recommended them to family and friends."
"I have been here twice to see Dr Hardy! She is FANTASTIC! Excellent communication, explains everything to you and this place has all the bells and whistles! Highly recommended to anyone. This place is clean, they have a great selection of frames and the staff is friendly and I have never waited for my appt. They actually saw me early and gave me a sticker! Update: I continue to see Dr Hardy and she and her staff continue to be fantastic! She is brilliant. Her staff is pleasant, prompt, friendly, and they just do everything right."

"I had the absolute best experience here. Dr Hardy was knowledgeable funny and witty. She is great with her patients and is truly passionate about what she does. The lady who helped me pick my glasses was charming and funny and honest. She told me "no I don't like that pair" several times. She made sure I left with a great pair of glasses that loved my face as much as i loved them. I had to put a lot of trust in her, as my eyes were dilated. I have a great pair of glasses and I'm extremely satisfied. Thank you for a great experience from start to finish!"
