Let me start off by saying Dr. Freedle is FABULOUS! He really took the time to listen, and was very educational. They have a good selection of eye glasses, and the eye technician lady seemed very friendly, and knowledgeable as well. Although, the front desk may need some more training. My main complaint was that for both my son and I they did not pre- verify our insurances.

We ended up having to pay out of pocket when we could have paid a simple co-pay else where. My vision benefits were also not accepted at this location, and will now be having to search again for a new office-after a month of waiting for my appointment at this location. This all could have been avoided if they had verified prior to our visit- especially when they ask for your insurance ID number prior to booking.

Office people were friendly but the optometrist Eric Freedle was rude and unprofessional. The website says they are LGBTQ+ friendly but he did not respect my pronouns replying when I said that I used they/them pronouns with "whatever" and continued misgendering me for the rest of my appointment. He obviously had not received diversity training and because of it I did not feel comfortable for the duration of my appointment.

I don't think that the words "LGBTQ+ friendly" should be on the website if not every person there, especially the person you're interacting with the most, adheres to that principle/statement.

Best Eye visit, ever. I have been wearing contacts for over a decade with annual visits across providers and my experience with Tigard Optometic and E. Freedle, was outstanding. The visit was efficient, yet it never felt rushed. Freedle took extra time to get to know me as a person, my career/family/history, as well as provided more education and an overall experience that validated not just my eye health, but my overall heath. The visit was easy and all aspects of care provided.

My doctor was amazing during the appointment and when I had an issue with my frames they fixed it immediately with no questions. Cannot say enough good things about their entire office team! Jenny (Jenn?) helped me find the perfect frames for my face around my mask, and I cannot say how much I appreciate that. AND she helped me find my first even prescription sunglasses. She worked with my budget and my tiny face, and was just so patient while we looked for ones I liked. Thank you all!

My entire family wears some type of eye correction. NW Optometric has always shown us that they care. No matter which wonderful person you interact with you receive the best from them. They have worked with me on everything from broken glasses to payments. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great eye team!

Dr Freedle simply likes to hear himself talk. He'll spend most of the appointment talking about things that don't apply to you at all. If you are an assertive female, he'll very much condescend and attempt to belittle you every chance he gets. He pulls up other patient records in front of you. you can see their name and then he'll show details of their eyes. Why? Again, I can only assume to hear himself talk as the patients he talked about with me were heavy smokers who have damaged their eyes, yet I don't smoke, never have, and nothing remotely close up with my eyes.

This is not only bad taste, horrible to the other client, but it violates HIPPA and the protection of patient medical records. Horrible horrible experience. I will NEVER go to this person and warn others as well.

My exam and conversation with Dr. Freedle was the best I've had in the 39 years I've been wearing glasses. (I'm 44, been wearing glasses since age 5). He was frank and informative and helped me understand my eye exam results very well when showing me the images of my eyes. Then, I was able to get glasses that I was really happy with.

Tigard Optometric is the best eye care clinic. The entire staff is very friendly and very professional. Dr. Freedle is amazing. I always get a very thorough eye exam and know my eye health status when I leave. Dr. Freedle is extremely honest and won't tell you that you need new glasses, if you don't. They have quality frames to choose from and my lenses last for years. Jennie will always fix my glasses should they need a small repair. I have been a patient for over 30 years and would never consider seeing another Optometrist.

I had run out of my last pair of contacts and needed my prescription renewed in the middle of the Stay At Home order. I called in on Tuesday and spoke to Dr. Freedle. He was very informative and walked me through their scheduling during the lockdown, their pricing etc. I explained that I needed contacts for work and that my glasses weren't cutting it.

He immediately checked his schedule and was able to get me in the next day. I received a follow up call the next morning reminding me to bring my eyewear and any info I had on my current Rx. Upon arriving the office ladies greeted me and had me fill out my paperwork. They were very kind and welcoming. My exam with Dr. Freedle was wonderful, he explained so much about my prescription and the different benefits of contacts vs glasses.

I had never gotten so much information at other offices. By the time I left I had a new prescription, contacts for the year and drops to prevent dry eye. The cost was extremely reasonable; given the care I received and products, I am very surprised at how much I paid. The pricing is less than most in the area and the service received is 5 stars. Truly a wonderful experience, I will be recommending them to everyone who needs an optometrist. And as of today, I will be a loyal patient going forward. Thank you Dr. Freedle and Office ladies!

Whenever I have needed special care - fixing a loose piece, replacing only one lense, finding a special shape of Silhouette lense for older frames, etc. Tigard Optometric Clinic has been welcoming, flexible, and has treated me with a high level of professional kindness and respect.

My overall experience was great! Dr. Freedle was very thorough and informative during my exam. I was very impressed with the optical specialist, Renee. She was very helpful and went above and beyond to make sure my new glasses and sunglasses were perfect. Thank you, Renee for the boba straw! I appreciate it and will be back for my next check up.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Freedle and the staff here! I have had eye issues my entire life and have never had a Dr. fully break down my anatomy of my eye and how it's functioning the way he has! He definitely cares about helping my eye health and he's an all around great person who cares about his patients! He is the best around!

Jenni Wilson is the best! My frames broke and my warranty was up, but she made it right! She is a lifesaver because I don't what I would have done if I couldn't have my glasses! Miracles were made by her!

They gave me superior service and genuine care. Cant say enough good things about them. Most clinics would have simply said, no availability till next week. On a Friday morning I called them and shared I had vision loss and pressure in right eye and was not expecting to get seen, but asking where else would they suggest for quality exam. They got me in that afternoon, but what really stands out from the experience is the bedside manner of the doctor.

They were squeezing me in and I know by seeing me, someone was waiting and yet he did not rush the exam and checked everything, took time to explain what was happening and made it an excellent experience. Thank you so much for such professional and kind care!

Amazing! We are just in town on our way to Seattle. We stopped at a Costco to fill a contact prescription. It was a nightmare! We left without getting what we needed. My daughter was desperate and needed contacts before our trip so I called around and stumbled across Tigard OptometricClinic. They were so pleasant and offered a sample of the contacts to my daughter (since we had a written prescription) without any hesitation. Super friendly staff. I would highly recommend and if I lived in the Portland area would visit there for sure. Customer service. A+.

I don't usually write reviews but I felt the need to say what a great experience I had at Tigard Optometric Clinic. Dr. Freedle was very thorough and took the time to explain my situation and the gal who helped me choose the frames were great. I have lived in OR for 7 years and have seen 3 eye doctors and I will be seeing them again. Thanks for everything! I am looking forward to receiving my new glasses!

I came in for just an eye exam, and got a very detailed and pleasant experience thanks to the wonderful staff. I never expected for them to be so in-depth with me, I learned a lot about my eyes and was informed about what they were doing every step of the way. Theres a huge range of glasses, and after I picked a couple I liked, they took the time to find another pair that I loved even more. I made them suffer from taking too long to choose, and for that I apologize! But still, they were so patient with me. Thanks to everyone at Tigard Optometric!

I've gone here for a number of years. I've always enjoyed my interactions with Dr. Midson, who is very good. A few years ago, I bought a pair of eyeglasses with progressive lenses, high index lens material, and transitional coloring. I paid over $400 out of pocket. I'm easy on my glasses, and have never had a pair break in my life. But the frames on these broke. OK, stuff happens, but when I called to see what they could do for me Jenny (one of the opticians there) treated me like I was a criminal. Done with them.

The optomitrist and staff were top notch. I had a fun visit, enjoyed the friendly atmosphere, and appreciated that they took the time to do a very careful exam. When I expressed interest they took the time to educate me about vision, including the biology, physics, and health aspects. They went way above and beyond in providing quality service: giving me info (not in a pushy way) about laser vision options, adjusting my glasses fit for free, discussing my contact use history etc.

It was the most competitive price of four places I called to ask for a quote, and they accommodated my same-day appointment no problem. I highly recommend Tigard Optometric Clinic.

Never write reviews, but after yesterday's visit I have to say thank you to Dr. Freedle and the clinic staff. I came in because I couldn't see anything clearly anymore, even with contacts and reading glasses over the top. I thought it was just age-related loss, but Dr. Freedle gave me a most thorough exam, explained everything very carefully, and gave me contact lenses that actually work! Turns out my previous eye clinic had made a pretty bad error in my prescription.

Now I can actually read road signs and work at my computer with no eye strain at all. I only need very low strength readers for close-up reading. The difference is amazing! I am so happy!

Amazing, simply amazing. Suddenly my eyes have changed, trial contacts after trial, almost but not quite. Unbelievable patience, listened to my concerns, tenacious. Highly recommend.

I am 61 and have been wearing glasses for 50 years. Dr Freedle was the most patient, thorough, knowledgeable doctor I have ever encountered! He gave me hope where I had long lost it. Many complete and thorough exams and the latest technology in diagnostics yet completely reasonable pricing. Great bedside manner and attention to detail as well as an excellent listener. My new favorite doctor. Thank you Dr Freedle!

Staff is always super friendly and helpful! My son got his first contacts here. They didn't rush him and were very patient while he learned how to wear them. This is the second eye doctor in town that we had gone to see and the expirence was like night & day!

Dr. Freedle was very thorough and knowledgeable. My prescription has changed little over the last 25 years. An annual exam is a simple formality required to maintain my supply of contact lenses. Dr. Freedle went through the usual steps to verify that a stronger prescription would not improve my mild stigmatism. I appreciated that he did not dwell on repeating those basic tests more than was necessary and instead included tests I had never had previously.

He discovered I have a vertical imbalance between my eyes and this is most likely why my glasses grow crooked so easily and noticeably. It was fascinating to learn something new in an eye exam which made Dr. Freedle's exam stand out in my memory. As I left he referred me to his optician of 23 years, Jenni Wilson, to straighten my frames. I love my glasses, have hung onto them for longer than I can recall. Dr. Freedle and Ms. Wilson both recognized the manufacturer of my glasses immediately as one of their frequent suppliers.

They both told me that Silhouettes are manufactured in components, which makes them repairable even when a break occurs in a typically irreparable spot like the temple. I chose to try Tigard Optometric Clinic because it was close to my house and they offered a Yelp voucher, but I will return and recommend their office because should tragedy ever strike my frames, I can count on Dr. Freedle to repair or replace the glasses I love.

This was my first time getting my eyes checked and it was a great experience. The optometrist was extremely nice and personable. It was quick and easy. When I was ready to pick my glasses the receptionist asked me to put on my favorite pair to make sure they looked good. I would recommend this place to anyone who is having eye troubles.

Absolutely the best in professional care, client service and latest in style glasses. We moved here from Bay Area 7 years ago without a resource for our family's vision care. The need for eye care happened due to a cooking accident I didn't have time to scout around and within an hour I was being taken care by Dr Midson. It is 7 years later the staff is the same and the best and the care beyond expectations. You cannot price shop with vision care especially when you are given informed alternatives.

I'm transferring elsewhere after coming here a few times, once for a regular exam and one emergency. I was happy enough with the doctor, but the front desk, each time I came in, was RUDE. As in, they would be talking to each other and not even look up at me to check me in. Once I even sat down in a waiting room chair for five minutes before anyone bothered to talk to me.

I felt uncomfortable with the atmosphere. Dr. Midson seemed to echo the front desk and wasn't overly friendly. For my emergency appointment, I had to bring my child with me and let's just say it is NOT a kid friendly office. It is a beautiful office with a great selection of glasses, but I will be going elsewhere.

I've known Dr. Freedle for years. He is an excellent doctor willing to take the time to really explain things to you. While traveling in Portland (We are from California), my glasses broke. I called Dr, Freedle and he fit me in around his current appointments. Besides fixing my glasses, I saw his office carried some frames I have not seen in California so I bought a pair there. My wife was also impressed and bought a pair of sunglasses. Worth checking out. The Lillies

Tigard Optometric was a great experience. Took both my daughters in today for eye exams, each saw different doctors. Eric Freedle, OD & Clare Midson, OD, are personal, kind and very professional. They did thorough exams for my girls and I had trust in what they did completely. The staff is very nice and helped my oldest pick out her first pair of glasses.

We had a appointment at a place in Lake Oswego the day before, who made a mistake with our insurance. Tigard Optometric worked my girls in as it was important they were seen soon before a trip. They are really all in all the best eye place I've experienced. Thank you!

I have already been to the Barbur location, and had an excellent experience. I came to this location with a medical issue: a viral eye infection. I was able to see Clare Midson, the same optometrist that fitted me for my new contacts and completed my eye exam. The staff here is so friendly. Clare is really friendly, professional, and great. She helped me figure out why my eye was killing me (literally, at times I wanted to just yank it out, ,,b ut the rational part of my brain clearly won and I kept the eyeball).

I was able to get in and out so quickly, and picked up my drops within 20 minutes. They have a great selection of eyeglasses, if that is what you are looking for. Again, the staff is very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this office for your eye care needs (or the Barbur location too!)

AMAZING! Everyone who I have come in contact with at this awesome place have been wonderful and informational. The doctors are friendly and careful not to leave out any detail. Dr. Wolf worked with my shy 7 year old and by the end she was chatting up a storm with her and not afraid to do any of the tests as she was when we first got there. I called on a Saturday and spoke with Eric Freedle, OD about my daughters eyes being a little sore still and he shared his knowledge on what was going on and advice on how to remedy it!

The facilities are clean and tidy with lots of fun art to look at too! Just as a little side note that made me all the more in love with this place is the yummy chocolate candies at the desk, not that scary hard candy that gets stuck in your teeth and makes you wonder how old it really is. Anyway, it was a really comforting, child friendly and easy appointment and I actually became a member of Yelp just so I could write a review for this great place!
