My husband was seen for years for glasses and cataract surgery and laser surgery his eye was swollen and he could not see out of it the last 6 months said he had a scratch on his cornea and they could do nothing went to an eye Dr in oregon and they said he had an eye disease that was treatable he already has regained sight bad office get a second opinion

Doctors might be great but optical Dept is horrible. My $800 dollar coach Sunglasses were damaged by them and extremely unfashionable to say the least. Bent like the number 7 wrapped in crinkly thick clear plastic and this clear visible nose pieces. They said my head size made that happen but the ones on the floor fit perfectly. They didn't call or help at all. I filed a complaint with the manufacturer myself and won.

I've never done this myself before and missed the part to take my lenses. So basically I have an extremely nice pair of coach glasses that I can not see with! They never returned my calls and Jessica was always out sick when I called but did and said whatever I needed to hear the two times I went in just to get me to leave feeling hope. BEWARE if you don't have LOTS of money to literally just throw in the trash! I'm sticking with online cheap ones or readers now because I can't afford designer anymore because of them!

I have been a patient of North Valley Eye Care for almost 5 years and would highly recommend their office. The staff is friendly, professional and personable. The doctors truly listen to your vision concerns and does preventative testing. The optical selection is fantastic, they have Ray Ban, Michael Kors, Coach and Kate Spade just to name a few. I was quoted 2 weeks for my glasses and a week after placing my order I received a call that my glasses were ready. I get a lot of compliments on my Kate Spade gold glitter glasses!

The staff is awesome, they are compassionate and very knowledgeable in their area. The doctors take their time with you so you feel your concerns are met and you understand your treatment plan, whatever it might be. Plus, their Optical is amazing! So much to choose from. I really recommend North Valley Eye Care for anyone who wants the best for their eyes and peace of mind.

My family and I LOVE this practice! All the doctors are so tentative and nice. My mother was being "treated" for dry eyes at another clinic for 9 years and they never went further than giving her artificial tears. Dr. Merry treated the root of the problem and gave her other treatment suggestions.

Did not give price up front. Stated I would not need glasses and would have my eyesight back. Then sent me over to admin. There is where I was told that lazer surgery was not covered. I would have to pay $1750 per eye. This was a blow as I was not told this until I was scheduling the surgery. The standard surgery was covered but at a price. I would still need glasses and my stigmatism would not be fixed.

Why was this not gone over during the 6 months process. Also my last bust was 45 minutes late but if you are late 15 minutes you must reschedule. Yes the staff is great but information not told to you. I am upset as I thought all would be good now?

We were long time patients of Dr Shaw, and decided to stay after the business was transferred to Dr Barthelow. last month I needed cataract surgery. I felt like the Dr was pushing a new machine that Medicare would not cover at a cost of $5,000 per eye. I chose to have the surgery Medicare covered. During the surgery on my right eye I felt a painful scratching. my eye ached for weeks witch was not what I had been told.

After more than a month my vision in my right eye is still worse than before the surgery. I told everyone in the clinic, my eye is worse than before surgery. Finally last week I got to see Dr Barthelow, He spent less than 10 seconds looking at my eye as I told him my eyesight in my right eye is still worse than before surgery. He said both eyes were healing well as I told him something is wrong with my right eye.

He huridly got up and walked out of the exam room and as he walked into the hall I overheard him say to the girl flowing him "Don't answer their questions, they only ask more." I feel Dr Barthelow has shown contempt for my concerns
