Dr Nelms is the best eye doctor I have ever seen. He is thorough, patient, and explains all tests. His office staff is also great. I recommend them to everyone!
Tiffany MacBeth
Dr Nelms is incredible!!! My daughter is special needs and her eye exams are always very difficult, to the point where we’ve been told elsewhere that they can’t complete the exam. Our visit with Dr Nelms yesterday was just as difficult and he didn’t give up and was so wonderful and gentle with Lacey!!! We are so grateful to have found him in our community and highly recommend🤗🥰❤️

Excellent doctor and staff. I am a long time patient and I experienced some vision disturbances in one eye. I have issues with my other eye so obviously I was concerned about this episode that lasted for a quite a while. I called the office and they got Dr. Nelms on the phone immediately. He assessed the situation and said come in right away. They worked me in and did an examination in no time. This is the kind of doctor and office you need for your eyecare. They are patient oriented, very competent and will take the time to answer any questions you may have. None of the corporate medicine with metrics driving your time with your doctor in his office. How refreshing! All turned out well and I think he was happier than me. Thanks to Dr. Nelms and the staff.

Wonderful experience. Check-in was fast and easy, pre-exam with nurse was thorough and she relayed all the info to the doctor accurately, and Dr. Nelms was great!--knows his stuff, was careful to explain everything, and wasn't rushed. Easy decision to make him our family's eye doctor.

I highly recommend Advanced Eyecare! Since moving to Watkinsville in 2018, this has been one of the best eye care experiences I’ve had. They were able to fit me in the same day when I ran out of contacts unexpectedly. They even took me on as a new patient the same day so I could complete my eye exam and order new contacts. Dr. Nelms is both knowledgeable and personable. The front staff is exceptionally organized, which I really appreciate. Every visit leaves me with no unanswered questions, and the office is always clean and well-maintained. I wholeheartedly recommend this practice to anyone!

I have been with Dr Nelms, Advanced Eye Care for several years since I moved to Athens. He was the only eye doctor I could find who had a machine that could do your eye exam without using the drops that dilate your eyes. I found out that was not the only unique thing this office had to offer. The staff makes an eye exam fun as they are professional yet very personable. I look forward to my checkups! Dr Nelms is very nice yet he is very serious about making sure his patients have their very best eyesight. He has referred me out on two occasions as he had legitimate concerns about my eyes. The second referral could have cost me my sight if he had not been concerned and referred me to an eye specialist. If you want a Dr who takes your eyesight very seriously and answers all your questions…, and has a delightful staff I would 100% Recommend Advanced Eyecare, Watkinsville, Ga. If you are like me and sometimes have a busy day ahead and would prefer not having your eyes dilated with drops, they offer modern technology that can do the same thing without drops.
