Shelby Family Eye Care

"Dr. Heckman was amazing. She worked to find me the exact thing I needed for my vision. I can’t say enough about how clean and professional the environment was. Tons of frame options. Friendly."

"Shelby Family Eye Care provides excellent service. The doctor and staff are very knowledgeable, attentive and detailed in addressing the needs of the patient. I'm happy that I selected SFEC as my optometrist."

"My daughter is an ICU travel nurse at Shelby Baptist Hospital and started experiencing an eye emergency during her night shift. We called and explained the situation and they were able to get her in right away. The office has a very homey atmosphere and the staff was so welcoming. Dr. Heckman was AMAZING! If we were locals, this would be our eye doctor. Thanks for being so accommodating!!"

"Shelby Family Eye Care is fantastic! As soon as I walked in, I felt welcome and just good vibes. Dr. Heckman is wonderful! She is so personable, knowledgeable, and patient. My husband is already a patient and my children are up next. I highly recommend this conveniently-located office!"

"Dr. Heckman is wonderful! She’s been such a blessing to us! I’ve been seeing her since I moved to the Pelham/Alabaster area in 2018 when my youngest started having vision issues and needed glasses. For the last year, Dr Heckman has actually started reversing her -8.00 vision, using the newest advancements in optometry to eventually fully correct her vision. I’m so grateful for her persistence and knowledge. As for me, she’s consistent and persistent about me trying out the best and newest contact materials for my dry eyes, sending me home with several days of samples to try out, as well as keeping the medical option open of inserting plugs if all else fails. Mrs. Tia always finds as many discounts, insurance benefits, and coupons available to apply to any eyewear I purchase. Besides that, they have such great personalities. The office is clean and organized, and I’ve never lacked for any care I’ve needed. I’ve gotten in asap under Kim’s efficient scheduling. My daughter’s journey of healing is worth a recommendation alone. Get scheduled with Dr Heckman for any of your or your family’s eye care needs!"
