Dr Belcer was GREAT! Very warm, kind and patient! Definitely recommend her! She was patient and so kind with My son. She made sure all of my questions/concerns were addressed before we we left. She took her time with our appointment- not a rushed feel at all!

Have always had excellent care from Dr. Stevens and the staff at the clinic. Appreciate how thorough Dr. Stevens is, that he listens to my concerns and explains his findings so well.

"Describe my experience": Dr. Scott Stevens treated my keratoconus with surgically placed "intacts". I had glasses made @ Eyemart Express that where that were not to "spec" (no pun intended). I am also currently awaiting an SSDI Hearing on a congenital respiratory condition, presently unemployed. and unemployable in self sustaining, full-time capacity thus was.unable at the time to afford a well made pair of glasses; ( I will add that my prescription is very tough for any optical lab to do well. Dr. Stevens lab did a great job)The good doctor did not ignore my circumstances and went above and beyond to personally make provision that completely met my vision needs. Thankyou Dr. Stevens. 2017 Update: 2020 Intacts didnt work as well as hoped, so. the team at Bend Opthalamology and Dr. Beneto made some scalar contacts for me, my vision went from 20/300- 20/25. Amazing! Best ever I truly live these people.

I have been going to Bend Ophthalmology for about two years and have always had superb service. Phone calls are answered very promptly and professionally. Appointments are easily made. The technicians are quite knowledgeable and are very friendly and professional. The doctors are unhurried and ready to give a very thorough exam and answer all questions. It's very easy to give everyone a top rating!

Dr. Bonetto is wonderful, but their front desk staff don't verify that your insurance will cover their services, leading to huge patient bills that could otherwise be avoided if their company was a little more patient-centric. Pretty disappointed that i pay for vision insurance and still got stuck with a $350 annual exam bill- even after handing over my insurance card prior to the appointment.

I've been very pleased with Dr. Stevens. I had a 5 day old baby with eye abnormalities. BMC would not have have her seen for several weeks. In a panic I called Bend Opthomology's emergency line and was able to speak with Dr. Steven's about my concerns. He made sure to get her seen the next morning. He has good bedside manner, is VERY informative and seems to truly care.

Dr Stevens and the Staff at Bend Ophthalmology are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Our family has been going to this practice for years. My two young children, my wife, myself and my in-laws have consistently experienced the highest level of care with amazing results. My vision is so much better after getting the correct prescription that other ophthalmologists missed. I have referred several friends and co-workers to this practice who have been taken care of and treated like family. I would not go anywhere else.

I found Dr. Stevens to be very thorough and he actually helped me with an ongoing cornea problem without having to resort to laser surgery (which was my last doctor's suggestion) - a special ointment used at night, that no one else had mentioned. Now I have a lens prescription that actually helps me to see better. I have a call back msg out to them right now so we'll see if that happens (as most of the poor reviews deal with office staff). I think I called during the lunch hour. I'll just keep calling them until they answer.

My experience was unfortunate. Expectations were set during my daughters appointment that services would be covered under my insurance. I later received a bill for the entire service and received a denial from insurance as they were out of network and not covered. While I have learned to always check myself, it's not good business practice to set false expectations without verifying first. I would not recommend.

I was having some issues with my eyes and vision and my friend recommended Dr. Stevens. I called to make an appointment and was told my issue could be handled by the optometrist and would cost less and I would be able get an appointment sooner. The office staff were very friendly and the Optometrist was very nice but I was not given any of the tests I've had at other optometrist 's exams.

When I read the letters I had to strain but guessed a lot. She kind of blew me off and said I basically had 20/20 vision! She said I had a slight change and my script would change ever so slightly and didn't need to change my glasses unless I wanted to. I said Will it help? She said maybe? I left still having trouble with my eyes and with a big bill. Months later I'm still having troubles seeing even with my glasses- blurred vision, blind spots, headaches from eye strain.

My doctor recommends Dr Stevens. I call to make an appointment and the receptionist was soooooo rude. She kept cutting me off and talking over me when I was trying to ask a question about my insurance. It's not like I was talking a lot but her curtness kind of caught me off guard. The whole conversation probably lasted 4 minutes. Later when someone from the optical dept called returning a call that I had left a message, I cancelled that appointment. She was very kind and apologetic but I won't be going there again. Looking for another office/ Dr.

My wife is extremely unhappy with Dr. Stevens, when he did her Cataract Surgery - vision did not improve! His attitude is poor! Won't do anything about it! Doesn't care! Don't let him touch your eyes! Had to give one star - doesn't deserve that!

I'm writing this review for my husband. This is what he said: If you are considering cataract surgery, I would strongly recommend Dr. Jason W. Dimmig of Bend Ophthalmology. He recently did both of my eyes and I am more than satisfied with the whole experience and the results of 20/20 vision in each eye. He and his staff are knowledgeable, experienced, courteous, friendly and honest. Take my recommendation; you cannot select a better ophthalmology surgeon in Bend or Redmond than Dr. Dimmig. He is the best! Dallas Martin

Tho the wait can sometimes be trying. Dr. Stevens is very much worth the wait. He is a straight shooter & may come across as brash but he is very knowledgeable & is up to date on latest & newest technology. His m.a.' s are knowledgeable & helpful. The optical department is also good. Thank you Dr. Stevens for great care & professionalism.

Called on a Thursday to schedule pre-op appointment for cataract surgery. The surgical coordinator was out of the office until Tuesday, so I was prompted to leave my name and phone for a return call. Waited all day Tuesday and never received call. So I phoned again late Tuesday afternoon and left my name and phone AGAIN. It has now been It has now been 8 days since my first call and I haven't heard a word. I do not beg doctor to allow me to be their patient. If this is their version of "best possible care" they advertise, they are NOT patient focused.

Dr. Dimmig is a wonderful doctor; knowledgable, friendly and thorough. He performed eyelid surgery on me and the results were amazing. I have also had experience with Dr. Bereen and Dr. Balcer, accompanying my mom on her visits; both provided her excellent care. My mom has had retinal surgery and has limited vision, and they provided us with resources to help improve her day to day activities.

Mom also used their optical department and they, too, are fantastic. The doctors and their entire staff are friendly, helpful, and confident. Having been to another ophthalmology office in town, and having worn glasses since the age of 3, I have seen plenty of eye doctors. Bend Ophthalmology is where I will continue to visit for my eye care needs. I highly recommend them for any sort of vision care.
