Dr. Jana L. Crim and Dr. Melissa B. Dow


"Dr. Jana Crim is one of the most caring informative optometrist I have ever been to. She took the time to listen to my concerns and explain all the options to resolve my issues both vision and with my dry and itchy eyes. I now no longer struggle with the dryness or itching. With me working on the computer for at minimum 8 hours a day, she explained to me the new technology available for my glasses lens to help with the eye strain and fatigue. She was right, I have not had any eye strain since picking up my new glasses! I have already recommended her to all of my friends and family and will continue to send others to her new beautiful location at Berry Farms!"


"Dr. Jana and her staff are amazing! It is great to know that your eye doctor and her staff really care about your overall health. I did the Optomap and Dr. Jana explained all the eye issues that could occur but luckily my eyes are healthy! It was really cool to see and to know what my doctors have been looking at all this time. The new office at Berry Farms is beautiful and so inviting. Go check this new office out for yourself, you won't be disappointed!"


"Thoughtful, supportive, and encouraging are just a few words that I would use to describe Dr. Jana Crim. When our daughter was having trouble seeing at school, Dr. Crim efficiently evaluated her sight and even went the extra mile to provide us with recommendations for accommodations and modifications to take to our daughter’s school. With these recommendations in hand, her teachers could make informed educational decisions. We feel incredibly fortunate that our daughter is one of her patients!"


"My daughter came to see Dr. Crim at the end of second grade reversing letters and having difficulty reading chapter books. After being tested and diagnosed by Dr. Crim, I could not only see a huge difference in her reading, but I could see my daughter becoming more confident in her skills. I would recommend Dr. Crim above any other doctor because she really cares about her patients and loves what she does. She is extremely talented and knowledgeable. We love Dr. Crim!"


"Dr Crim is the most personable & caring doctor ever! She shows personal interest in her patients and is so good at explaining any information and answering any questions. She makes the whole experience very pleasant!"


I have been seeing Dr. Dow over the past 7 years and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my eyes!! Dr Dow is so informative and always takes time to explain what is best for my vision needs. I was having issues with my contacts and she helped me get adjusted to wearing a “daily” contact lens and it has made all the difference. Dr. Dow is so personable and truly cares about her patients. Dr. Dow and her staff are all so kind and quick to help you in any way they can. I highly recommend Dr. Dow for your family’s eye care needs! 


Seeing Dr. Dow was the first time in all of my years of visits to eyecare professionals where I was able to feel at ease, even when the prescription needed to be adjusted or I found out I have an astigmatism. For me it was always visits to the eye doctor that made me nervous and I dreaded and not the dentist. As someone who has had bad eyesight and a prescription 80% of my life I worried about my vision getting worse or not answering the A, B questions correctly. Dr. Dow is thorough, takes her time and is also a delight to speak to about any of my eye health concerns. 


I’ve been a patient of Dr. Dow’s for over 8 years now and I always look forward to my visits.  She is very knowledgeable in her field, while her warmth and compassion makes me feel like I’m family. She is very thorough, and I appreciate a doctor who doesn’t seem rushed and is available to address all of my concerns.


I have been a patient of Dr. Dow for many years and always love my experience when I visit. She is very thorough and knowledgeable. She takes the time to really understand my eye history along with any current issues I may have. I tend to have dry eyes and she has helped me to find the perfect contact that allows for optimal comfort all throughout the day. She is very detail orientated and goes the extra mile to ensure all my questions are answered and to plan for my future care. She feels like a friend as well as an excellent optometrist. I am grateful to be a patient.  


Dr. Dow’s passion for her career and her patients will be evident from the moment you meet her.   My daughter and I have seen her for both routine eye exams and other eye related concerns. We couldn’t be happier with the care we’ve received. Dr. Dow is compassionate, knowledgeable, and wonderful with patients of all ages.  It’s so comforting to know that if we ever have eye concerns,  Dr. Dow is there for us.    I have proudly recommended her to many friends and family members because of the exceptional care she provides.  


I have been a patient of Dr. Dow for years now. My whole family has always been treated with the utmost care and professionalism. One of my daughters had an eye alignment issue that we noticed when she was in elementary school and Dr. Dow had recommendations for us so that as an almost 17 year old now, it is not even noticeable. She is also very good with children—my son had his first visit with her at 9 months and did wonderful! I always recommend Dr. Dow to anyone looking for an optometrist; she is so sweet! 

  • "We use BERRY FARMS EYECARE for all of our family’s vision needs. Recently, we had to have our youngest fitted for new glasses and he made the experience fun for her and informative for us. We know Dr. Crim will always take good care of our family’s eye care and that’s why we wouldn’t go to anywhere else."

  • "I was having headaches and felt my contacts were easily drying out all the time. I went in to see Dr. Crim and after an evaluation, he suggested a switch in the type of lenses I use. Within a week of using the new lenses, I noticed a change and haven’t had any problems since. Thanks, Dr. Crim!"

  • "I had considered Lasik surgery in the past, but was still hesitant about the process. Dr. Crim was very thorough in his consultation with me and answered all of my questions, making me feel comfortable with going forward with the procedure. I’m so glad I did the Lasik, it has been of great convenience to me and my sight has never been better."

  • "I’ve been going to Dr. Crim for over five years now and even though I only see him once a year for my annual exam, he and his staff always make me feel very welcome and take care of all my eye care needs. BERRY FARMS EYECARE is the best at what they do and make you feel right at home."

  • "Dr. Crim and his staff are so patient and friendly. Dr. Crim prescribed me glasses and I had the toughest time picking out frames. They didn’t rush, but instead made helpful suggestions and now I have an awesome pair of frames, not to mention the fact that I can see ten times better than before. You guys are the best!"

The medicine I needed for my eye was sold out at Publix and she took the time to call many pharmacies for me. Talk about customer service! The space is beautiful and staff is friendly. I'm so excited they have joined the berry farms community and excited to not have to battle the cool springs traffic.""

  • "Have been suffering from eye strain headaches. Just happened to read about Dr. Crim in an article. To say I am pleased I did is an understatement. From scheduling to the appt & f/up to get my glasses, everything especially the Dr was unbeatable. It's nice when you can tell someone cares & really wants to help. I am very pleased with my new glasses. If you haven't explored the businesses at Berry Farms, give this one a try. You won't regret it. (Review shortened due to space allotment)"
