About Garden City Optometrists

Garden City Optometrists is a full scope optometry practice that was started in 1916 by Dr. William Howard. It has been continuous since then, with a history of fourteen doctors between 1916 and now. The clinic offers complete eye examinations, diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, appropriate referrals to eye surgeons, contact lens fittings, and the fitting, dispensing, and manufacturing of eyeglasses.

Reviews From Our Satisfied Patients

  • "Dr. Michael Houseman took great care of my 92-year-old father, who can't hear very well at all, and who gets confused easily. He was very patient and kind, and spent extra time giving him the best prescription possible. When we went to get glasses, they were able to cut the lenses in house, very affordably."

  • "This place has been in operation for more than 100 years, so they must be doing something right. That "something" is prompt, professional service. I've never had to wait long for an appointment or to be seen once I arrive at the office. The staff knows what they're doing, and I've never walked away unhappy."
    Ashley F
  • "I was shopping for my third set of glasses from Garden City Optometrists. The entire staff got in on the experience, showing me frames that they thought would work well for me. We didn't find exactly what I was looking for, so they ordered some more examples. I've had nothing but great experiences with all of the doctors and staff here. See you guys in a few days for my new frames!"
