Paid 235 for eye exam, contact fitting and all.that in November and they refuse to allow me to buy contacts or give me my prescription because this dr hasn't finalized my prescription (that I have had for 18 YEARS) SO, now im out my office visit money, and months later, no vision either. I called my insurance company and informed them of this fraud and they said they would review their contract with thise office. Total shame read more

I was referred here by my Primary Care Physician for an emergent eye problem. The staff were uniformly well trained, polite, concerned for my well-being. I always felt that the staff were competent and diligent. They diagnosed my problem quickly and referred me on to the Sacramento Eye Clinic where an ophthalmologist treated me. Highly recommended. They are the BEST. read more

Dr. Miller made my cataract surgery experience so much better than the previous one performed by a different doctor. He didn't use general anesthesia but, instead, used a small amount of a calming med. I was awake the entire time and was surprisingly comfortable. He clearly explained what he would be doing and prepared me for my own involvement in the surgery. He became the only ophthalmologist I'll ever see. I did have to wait a bit, but I found that encouraging because it meant that he takes time with his patients. He definitely took great care with me. read more

I can't say enough about Dr. Miller and the entire staff here. Yes, sometimes you need to wait. However, when it's you who is having some kind of emergency, be thankful that they can make space for you. I've been on both ends of this... Both emergency and routine and I'm happy to wait a bit longer so everyone is accommodated. They move people through as quickly as possible and still manage to give amazing service to everyone. I've seen Dr. Miller and two of the optometrists here and have been very happy with all of them. Cody in the optical department is also amazing.. So friendly and helpful and had a great knowledge of insurance. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

It saddens me to leave this review as my experience here was good up until the end. Back in June, my insurance company contacted them about renewing my prior authorization for restasis. Apparently my pharmacy had contacted them too but no response. In September, I went to go renew my prescription and it was blocked because my prior authorization had not been sent in. I called the office but due to the conversion to UCDavis eye, they were using some service in yuba city to take messages and there were 73 messages ahead of me. So I made a trip out to Davis to speak to someone in person about it as I was running out of the meds. I spoke to a receptionist who said she would ask the doctor to fill out the form. I went to the pharmacy multiple times after this only to find that it had not been done. Mind you, the office was open and seeing patients so there was no reason this couldn't be done. Multiple weeks went by and I called multiple times trying to get the meds filled. I ran out and my eyes were extremely dry. I made an appointment with a new doctor because I felt like he was never going to send it in. I left one finally message informing them that it was absolutely unacceptable that this hadn't been taken care of by now. A day or two later, my meds were finally able to be picked up. I asked my new doctor to examine my corneas to make sure no damage had occurred from the dryness. I don't know why it was so hard to fill out a piece of paper and send it in when it was asked for multiple times. I have enough health problems and don't need to be dealing with more when they can be fixed with meds. read more

Would give them a minus star if it was available. Came in for a contact lens fit check. My appointment was at 8:30 am (first available of the day). It is now 9:17 am and I still have yet to see the doctor. Nobody has checked back in with me at 9:00 am I asked the receptionist how much longer and was told I was next..... WORST experience ever! Was recommended by my medical doctor to come here.... what a huge mistake. What makes it worse is while sitting in the waiting area you hear staff conversations that should NOT be heard by the patients. I also heard the DOCTOR say "Oh a contact lens check?!, yeah hey do you like them, oh ok good" My question is WHY am I STILL sitting here waiting?! Absolutely the worst experience at an eye doctors office EVER. Oh a side note, have worn glasses since I was 9, I'm now 42 and have worn contacts since I was 28..... GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! read more

Update: Came with my friend for her LASIK last time and now it's my turn! Almost 2 months after my LASIK and I have to say it must be one of the best thing that has happened for me so far. My friend wasn't lying when she told me it was a life changing experience (for the better ofc). The surgery itself was absolutely pain free, it was a really fun atmosphere in the surgery room. There's an open glass window, where my family and friends were able to watch the entire procedure, as well. I was almost a little sad that the LASIK surgery was over so fast. Previously I was a -9.00, I could not even see the big E on the eye chart. However, on the drive home (my brother drove) I was able to read the road signs already. I honestly wish I would have done it sooner. Currently, on vacation and it's just AMAZING how I don't have to worry about dry contacts and changing them in the middle of the day. I can see when I wake up, which makes everyday just so much better! Thanks Dr. Miller! read more

Had a great experience here today. I wish I had gotten the name of the optician who helped me pick out my glasses. The first gentleman who helped me didn't know what he was talking about, and quickly demonstrated that he was uninterested in assisting me. Luckily, the lovely lady who ended up helping me swooped in and saved the day! I was able to process my insurance and complete my order in about half an hour. She was very knowledgeable about the frames that were covered by my insurance, and was quick in finding my coverage online. She processed the order and payment in a matter of minutes, and informed me that my glasses would be ready within a week! I had a fantastic experience here. She was incredibly professional and great to work with. This office is small, but if you need a prescription filled or if you're interested in frames, I recommend this place! I will remember to find out the optician's name when I pick up my frames so I can give her a shoutout. read more

I am thrilled with my eyesight now that Dr. Miller operated on my eyes for cataracts! The whole procedure was so smooth, from my first exam all the way to the end. Dr. Miller took the time to call me after each surgery to see how I was doing. The office staff were so helpful with keeping me informed of all my appointments and how and when to use the eye drops! I would highly recommend this business to anyone needing surgery. I'm a very happy person to be able to drive safely and to see all the leaves on the trees again! read more

No doubt Dr Miller is a 5 star Guy, but his office personal is not ready for prime time. I have gone by and called several times to see about LASIK. No one ever returns my call and I was told the scheduling person has all my information and will be calling me shortly. I'm at the 5 week mark and have given up with this place, now part of UCD Medical. I hope you're office staff gets better. read more

I had my cataract surgery by Dr Miller several years ago. excellent experience and results. and by the way, his dog is adorable.

It was such an easy process! Everyone was incredibly professional, informative, kind and made the entire procedure a blast! Dr. Miller is an amazing person and certainly the most efficient in his field. The best part was how he and his team worked together to give me perfect vision! They were like family. It was a completely painless procedure and I would recommend Advanced Valley Eye Associates to any and all! We were all smiling from beginning to end. He even let me blast some Tom Petty during the operation! read more

Advanced Valley Eye Associates - Lasik Op. - Optometrists Near Me - Davis, California

Dr. Miller, if you figured out who I am and reviewed my case, I really hope you learned about RP and I hope if you have another patient with the same symptoms that you refer them to a specialist immediately instead of wasting their time and money with 3 separate visits and I certainly hope you never tell anyone again that there is "no physical cause" for their symptoms. read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Miller and his staff. I had Lasik Surgery there a year ago and from the first appointment I knew I was in expert hands. I was a little scared but Dr. Miller explained every step of what was going to happen On the drive home after surgery I could actually see without glasses for the first time in 52 years. about six months later, as sometimes happened, I needed a slight revision on my left eye. That was done at no additional cost to me and the care I received was just as excellent as it was for my first surgery. It has been exactly one year today since I had my surgery and I cannot recommend Dr. Miller and his office enough! They genuinely care about their patients. read more

Dr. Miller is fantastic, it's true. He's attentive and engaged, but he's also very busy. So busy, in fact, I've been sitting in the waiting room for over and hour and a half. The reason for this review is to comment on the punctuality of this office. Just know that if you have an appointment here, be sure to clear your schedule for the rest of the day. You're going to be here for a while. This is my third time here, and the treatment is the same every time. Check-in five minutes early or right on time, it doesn't matter. Either way you are going to be waiting for over an hour. I understand that Dr. Miller is just one man and there's only so much he can do. However, there are certainly things this office can do to speed things up around here in an attempt to get patients in and out in a timely manner. Heck, at least reduce the wait to a half hour or so, the period that most people expect when coming to a doctor's office. Please, don't over schedule Dr. Miller. Make a change and give the patients in the waiting room will have something else to talk about other than his tardiness. read more

I had my first appointment today with Dr. Miller. My experience was outstanding in every respect.. The office look and feel was open, inviting and comfortable. Simple check-in process, even with the standard paperwork protocols. Before I saw Dr. Miller, I was efficiently and comfortably taken through two different testing/exam stations. Emanuel, who was personable, instructive, and knowledgeable, discussed my medical history, with a focus on my eyes, and administered some of the basic eye exams. I then went to visit with Liz who did a couple of computer assisted exams. Liz was also responsible for explaining the costs, benefits and options related to cataract surgery, if indeed I needed and wanted such. Liz was outstanding in her careful attention to my specific eye needs and issues. She explained everything clearly and with an obvious level of care for me as a patient. I felt like I was receiving a very high level of diagnostic care from Liz and not like I was just another person being "processed" through a system. After I finished up with Liz I was seen by Dr. Miller. You will not find a more personable, kind, and bright ophthalmologist in the Valley. He explained the results of my tests in easy to understand, but in no way condescending, terms He was thoughtful in explaining some of the more nuanced aspects of each eye and what I could expect from surgery and what I could not reasonably expect. There was zero pressure for me to have surgery - all options were on the table for me to consider. When I left I felt as though I had the most comprehensive, thorough eye exam I have ever experienced. It was also the most pleasant and the most caring "eye center" I have ever been to in all my years (I'm 68). I offer my highest recommendation to Dr. Miller, Liz, Emanuel and team at the Advanced Valley Eye Associates in Davis. read more

I was so impressed with the treatment my husband received from Advanced Valley Eye Associates, I wanted to share his recent email to them: "I wanted to thank all of you for the exceptional customer service and care that was extended to me Wednesday, September 3rd. While my wife has been a patient of AVEA for a number of years, I had been a patient of another ophthalmology group in Davis simply because my primary care provider had initially referred me there years ago. Recently, I had been contemplating switching to AVEA so that we would both be under the care of the same eye care professionals. I developed an eye care issue just days ago that greatly concerned me and wasn't going away. Since I had planned on switching to AVEA in the near future, I contacted my primary care provider on Wednesday and asked for a referral to your group rather than contacting my previous eye care provider. The referral was processed by mid-day and at 3:00 pm I walked into AVEA to ask for an expedited appointment sometime within a day or so. To my surprise, the concern by the AVEA staff regarding my eye symptoms allowed me to be seen within the hour. I want to thank all of you for the professional, caring, and superior customer service that was provided me. Stephanie at the front desk was extremely helpful, efficient, and wonderful to work with in getting me admitted as a new patient and set with an appointment within the hour. Lacee was equally as helpful, efficient, thorough, and great to work with during the initial exam and tests that were conducted. And Dr. Robillard was very thorough and professional in listening to my symptoms, understanding my concerns, and reviewing the exam and test results. He was amazing in his ability to explain the results in both an easy to understand and medical point of view. All three exhibited a concerned and calming attitude that was reassuring to my wife and I, and are true professionals. The care and interaction I experienced with Stephanie, Lacee, and Dr. Robillard was above and beyond what I had expected on such short notice, but I am now certain that is the level of care that the AVEA family provides on a regular basis. I thank all of you for the exceptional care provided me, and my wife and I both look forward to many years of being AVEA patients." read more

I seriously just can not say enough good stuff about Dr. Miller and his staff. Dr. Miller came very HIGHLY recommended by my optometrist Dr. Bisek. Upon the initial phone call I've made I was treated very professionally while speaking to Elizabeth. I had my initial consultation to verify I was a good candidate. Elizabeth went over all of the possible risks, and what is involved, costs, financing pretty much everything. I met with Dr. Miller and he explained a few things, at which point even with having my prescription from Dr. Bisek he wanted to be through and double check everything at which point we did a full eye exam and even the computer plotted me out a prescription and it was pretty much dead on to that as well, I was told. The day of my operation, I was greeted and expected at the front desk. Everything was planned out and ready to go before I even got there, and I even got there around 20 minutes early. I was given some Valium to help mellow me out before the operation. Everything during the procedure was very well planned out, right down to even giving me a stuffed animal dog to hold on to during the operation and a blanket since its pretty darn cold in the room. I was pretty loopy off of the drugs at this point but I do remember almost immediately after the procedure my vision was insanely better. My girlfriend was actually able to watch the entire procedure, she was intrigued and actually wants to start saving up, so she could go about doing the lasik as well now. Going in for my post-op everything was absolutely great as well after not even 24 hours, I was starting to read some of the 20/15 lines! it was SO AWESOME!!!! I'd like to note Dr Miller called 2 days later me to actually check and make sure everything was still going well and everything was good. I want to highly recommend Dr. Miller to anyone. I'd like to note something I thought was so awesome, scheduling the appointments, I got email reminders along with the auto adding to my google calendar or the option of my outlook calendar. putting it through my google calendar it sync's up with google maps and googleNOW hence showing you how traffic is and what not... totally awesome! read more

I'm in my 40's and had to have cataract surgery on my eye. (The cataract formed from taking steroid medications for asthma and allergies over the years. So cataracts can be a side effect of long-term use of steroid medication and not everyone knows this.) First, I met with an eye surgeon that my Optometrist recommended in Midtown, Sacramento... and I was not impressed with them. So I turned to Yelp and found Dr. Miller in Davis. My experience with Dr. Miller's staff was fantastic. He is a complete professional with an excellent staff. The surgery itself took 15 minutes and wasn't bad at all. I'm very pleased with the results. read more

While with any business I don't expect to receive 100% satisfaction. However, Dr. Miller and his staff came pretty close. I've experience Dr. Miller and his staff as an observer AND as a patient. My boyfriend saw Dr. Miller and his staff first in order to do Lasik surgery. Anytime I was with him I was welcomed as well. While explaining the process Dr. Miller or his staff member always included me into the discussion as well. Making sure I was just as informed as my boyfriend. During the actual surgery I was able to watch it with a staff member (Elizabeth) sitting beside me going over each step. It was very informative and greatly appreciated. The wonderful hospitality with Dr. Miller and his staff helped solidify my decision to do my Lasik surgery. I informed my optometrist and he agreed that Dr. Miller was a great choice to be my ophthalmologist. For my initial consultation I did see one of Dr. Miller's staff members. Once again it was Elizabeth and she went through everything that was involved from checking and mapping my eyes, to realistic expectations and possible risks, as well as financial cost. At the end of my consultation Dr. Miller verified my information from my optometrist to the information Elizabeth received during my examination. Before leaving I was informed that any questions or concerns I may have I could contact Dr. Miller or his staff at any time. For my follow up appointments I was treated the same way as before. I was dealing with friendly and knowable staff members (James, Elizabeth, and Jackie) while doing my examinations and Dr. Miller verifying everything afterwards. At one point I was waiting in the waiting area for an exam room and another staff member came by and checked to see if I have already been assisted. That showed me the staff members do care about their patients and are willing to help. My operation itself was amazing. After being greeted, I was in an exam room in three minutes. From there I was given some Valium and next thing I knew it was my time. There were two gentlemen assisting Dr. Miller (unfortunately I cannot remember their names) with the machines. Everything was well planned out. I was relaxed and the whole procedure was painless. Dr. Miller instructed me where I should be looking and what I should be doing. The whole process was quick that it could have been 15 minutes at most. The next day for my follow up Dr. Miller checked and verified how I was doing. Sadly that would be the last time I would see Dr. Miller or his staff members. Throughout the whole experience it was great to see staff members who enjoy their job and enjoy who they work with. It made me more comfortable each and every time I saw Dr. Miller or his staff members. Additional bonuses: The whole office was always clean including the exam rooms and experiment. Text message appointment remembers were awesome and helpful. Phone call from Dr. Miller after my post-op appointment. Even though I'm not his patient anymore Dr. Miller takes the time to see how I am doing. If you want your eyes to be in good hands I highly recommend Dr. Miller and his staff. read more

Scheduling Appointments: I had just changed my insurance and needed a new glasses prescription asap. I called and the earliest they had was two months away. Then two days before my appointment they changed it to the following week. I was disappointed. HOWEVER, I after visiting I can see why they have so many patients. It was an extremely friendly staff and they were very welcoming. Waiting Room: They have cookies, coffee, tv and magazines in the waiting room to make for a very accommodating waiting room. I appreciated it. The appointment: I had gotten my initial appointment done and even gotten my eyes checked for prescription glasses. When I went the following week to get my prescription filled, they said that I had not gotten my eyes checked for a prescription and that I needed another appointment. (Even though I just had!) Instead of arguing, I went to my next appointment and talked to the optometrist and asked them what was different about this appointment versus my initial one. Embarrassed, he looked into my records and although they had checked my eyes for glasses, they had not written it down. They reimbursed me and apologized profusely. My prescription was filed in a week and half's time. Conclusion: They are nice and accommodating. However, they have organizational issues that made me disappointed. read more

I was here a few months ago for a checkup and ordered some contacts and then came back in a few weeks later just browsing at frames for when my insurance would kick in this upcoming year. I'm glad I checked it out before giving them any more of my money or time. The staff at the front desk is not only cold, but make you feel as though you being there is a nuisance. They act bored, yet still try to "seem" busy, which was the part that annoyed me the most. The staff that services you at the glasses frames area is just about the same. My boyfriend and I were sitting next to an elderly man who was being helped out with picking out frames and lenses - they kept pushing the "extras" (anti-glare films, etc.) on him. It made me feel disgusted and disappointed with their pushy-ness. The man was clearly unsure of what was and was not necessary, yet he ended up buying many of the add-ons. The only reason they have one star is for the doctor who was nice. I will now most definitely not be going back to them for any service in the upcoming year. read more

Perfect! Yes, it's probably slightly more expensive here than most places, but I looked Dr. Miller up extensively and chose him because he went to the best, most competitive residency of the doctors I looked at and yes, that does mean something. I would be suspicous of anyone who charged super discounted rates. My MIL went to a groupon place and it was an utter disaster. My boyfriend (26) and has more than perfect vision after his surgery with Dr. Miller. It was obviously bad for a day, then fluctuated between greant and pre-op for 3 days, but by day 4 and on it was perfect. After the first day (and even a few hours later) you can see okay enough to get things done. Wherever you decide to go for lasik, make sure you take it seriously and with more critique than choosing a hair stylist (as some people at other doctors did not do). I recommend Dr. Miller simply because he's a great surgeon; he went over everything, it was clean & uncomplicated, and the follow up was thorough. I will totally go back for other family members. read more

We've been seeing Dr. Miller since my son failed an in-doctor's office vision exam at 4 1/2 in a truly epic fashion...apparently because he was distracted by standing in the hallway to take it, because he didn't need glasses, after all. He's been back every other year or so, and every visit has been pleasant and fun, and he still doesn't need glasses (even though he still fails every hallway eye exam he gets). He's 11 now. My daughter gets chronic eyelid infections. They are miserable. She's also a really shy kid who struggles to talk to strangers. We came in today on an urgent appointment for a really big, painful, scary looking infection. Dr. Miller introduced himself to her directly - she's the patient, after all, had a conversation with her stuffed bunny Bun Bun before trying to talk to her, was gentle, playful, fun and upbeat (and she SPOKE to him, which is unusual), and he spent plenty of time making sure that we were comfortable with the way he wanted to treat her current situation. His recommendation was non-invasive, something that makes me personally quite comfortable, especially with a young child. Then, after we were home, he called personally to follow up on a prescription for her. He had contacted our pediatrician directly, and instead of having someone from his office follow up tomorrow, he took the time at the end of a day that had clearly stretched long into the evening, to call himself. She was miserable and upset about a still-hurting eye, and again, he spent a few more minutes discussing why this was the best treatment option. After taking some better mental notes, I was able to talk to her and reassure her that this really was the best way to go, and she calmed down. Yes, the wait times are sometimes long. But, on the flip side, when your 7 year old needs a same-day appointment for an infected eye...they get you in. When Dr. Miller is in the room with you, he is attentive, focused, and acts like your child is the most important patient of his day. He is SO good with children. We drive from Elk Grove to Davis to continue to see Dr. Miller, and have no intention of going anywhere else. Thank you for taking good care of my kid's eyes! read more

This office is fantastic. I've seen Dr. Richardson and was very happy with the exam and his quality of care. Office staff are courteous and helpful in scheduling. The only issue I have had is with my transition lenses; the coating on one side began to crack prematurely. Highly recommend! read more

I don't know where to begin! I've been pining after LASIK for years, but due to my vision getting worse every annual exam, I was never able to until this year. I had my eye exam with my optometrist in May, and was finally cleared for a LASIK consultation. He recommended an ophthalmologist in Sac based on his results being highly accurate most of the time, so I called and scheduled a consultation with him. I am an avid Yelper, so naturally, I checked out Yelp in hopes of finding good reviews. Well...they weren't good. And, I spoke to someone who had LASIK done by him, and she said that after insurance covered $1000, her total cost out of pocket was $6000. $6K!! I was floored. I decided against going to this ophthalmologist because if you're going to charge on the high end, you'd better have perfect, 5-star reviews, or close to! So, I kept researching ophthalmologists in the area, and I kept coming back to Dr. Miller. Every review I'd read praised him highly, and all were satisfied with their results. After poring over his entire website, I called to schedule a consultation and was put on the phone with Elizabeth, the LASIK coordinator. I called on a Friday and was able to be seen the following Monday. I was so impressed just by the consult, that I decided to take the plunge and had my pre-op on Wednesday, surgery Friday, and post-op Saturday. Yeah...it's safe to say that I loved the staff and experience I had at AVEA. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly, as well as knowledgeable. They were happy to answer any questions I had and alleviated concerns I brought up. They never pushed me to have LASIK, and were realistic in terms of expectations. Needless to say - I came out with 20/20 vision the day after surgery. The procedure itself was easy, and Dr. Miller has the most soothing voice EVER. I felt bad talking in my cheerful, loud voice when I first met him, because he is so soft-spoken! His gentle demeanor was especially welcome before and during the procedure, as I did begin to get a little nervous. He totally calmed me down. The day after my post-op, Dr. Miller called me personally to check on me, which is so cool. He genuinely cares for his patients' wellbeing. I'm sad, truthfully, because I grew so fond of the office, and I won't get to see them as much! Anyway, this review is getting long, but as someone who came here based solely on Yelp reviews, I highly recommend them to anyone considering LASIK. You won't be disappointed. read more

My appointment was scheduled for 3:40 with Dr. Miller. The current time is 5:00 p.m. and I still haven't seen him! The assistant took me in the room over an hour ago and she did rhe eye exam. She dilated my eyes and told me to sit in the waiting room gor my eyes to dilate for "some pictures". Which still has not happened. The front office was happy to take my co-payment. My former optometrist was never more than 15 minutes behind and he did the eye exam and dialation himself. I am not impressed. The staff is nice but I dont think I will come back here. read more

Where is the 6th Star???? Dr. Miller and staff are absolutely the best in the business. I will never go anywhere else.......

I have been going to Dr. Miller for over 20 years, since I was a young child of only 4years old. Back then he was doctor Bob :). Growing up having vision that was constantly changing having multiple pairs of glasses starting out with contacts and finally a consultation about lasik now that my vision has stopped changing. Dr. Miller and his staff have been nothing but patience and helpful. Any questions I had he answered. When I was 11 years old I asked him if I could be a candidate for Lasik. At the time the age for lasik was 23 years old to be a candidate. I memorized that age and my appoint which I scheduled a week after my 23rd birthday I asked again about lasik, he laughed checked his notes and said "yes I have a notation about that from when you were 11". He remembered how old I was. I know he probably has hundreds of patients but the fact that he remembers how old I was when I asked made me feel the personal care that I have received over the years. I would recommend Dr. Miller to all of my friends since my entire family already goes to him for eye care. read more

I recently had Lasik performed here. Dr. Miller and his staff were very professional and friendly. I felt confident in their abilities throughout the whole process and appreciated all their honesty and thoroughness. I was about a -6.0 in each eye before the procedure and now my vision is 25/20 and I'm less than a week out from the procedure (it takes time for your vision to completely stabilize). If you're interested in Lasik I highly recommend you see Dr. Miller for a free, no pressure consultation. I plan on recommending them to all my friends and family interested in Lasik :) read more

I have getting my check ups for the last 13 years with Miller and I trust him with my eyes and had LASIK preformed with 100% success. I recommend him to all my family and friends. read more

I won't go back again. I've been here twice and both times it was the same: 2 hour wait time in a freezing waiting room. The staff was patient, but Dr. Miller was obnoxious-- like in a small man's syndrome type of way. He was defensive having to tell me that HE was a medical doctor with a few underhanded insults about me as a parent, but to his credit: friendly to my child. The other doctor I had was professional, but the wait time alone was enough to push me to find a different doctor for my family. The place feels a little unprofessional and ostentatious, like it should be in the Arden Fair mall. read more

If you want to go here for one of your kids appointments don't. Dr. Miller doesn't pay attention to the opinion of an adult just the child. The adult wants the well being for their child but Dr. Miller just wants to collect your money and not render for the services you pay for. Will never recomend this Dr. to any friends or family. read more

I just had lens replacement for cataracts. What I experienced was a warm and caring staff. I received late evening calls from Dr. Miller to see how I was doing both before and after both my surgeries. He is truly a caring physician. The staff at both Advanced Eye Care and Davis Surgerical Center were incredible. I would and will recommend them to everyone I know. Thank you for your exceptional care! read more

I very much like my Dr. who does my exams, Dr. Richardson. He is great. No complaints. However, I ordered Maui Jim prescription sunglasses and there was a definite problem with them. The perspective was off and objects seemed distorted. As I expected they sent the glasses back, had the lenses done again after checking that my prescription was correct and once again my vision was distorted when I put on the re done glasses. So to my great surprise I was informed that I would not be allowed to order a different pair of sunglasses - even if they were not Maui Jim's. Mind you, i absolutely would not order Maui Jim's again bc I think it was the wrap around design that was causing my vision distortion. I was stunned and upset that I was basically blacklisted from ordering sunglasses at that office ever again. Very weird response. Rather than working with me to find a suitable frame design, I was told, you may not order prescription sunglasses here ever again. I will be finding a new optometrist. I feel like I am being blamed bc my vision was distorted by this particular style of sunglasses. My money was refunded but this kind of customer service for a long time patient is very disappointing. read more

I think the sort of care you receive depends upon the day, or the time of day when you see Dr. Miller. I have seen him when he was relaxed and interested, and another time when he was rushed and almost sarcastic. His staff is efficient and pleasant. A full eye exam takes 2 hours. read more

Dr. Miller is the best! Was contemplating LASIK for years. Discussed it with Dr. Miller and he convinced me to do LASIK. I have never had a better experience with a doctor, dentist etc. than with Dr. Miller. read more

Very impressed with the office & staff. Dr. Miller is amazing. Will definitely be going back.

This is an edit to my earlier review which I will leave intact below for reference. To make a long story short, I had a mixed experience and I ended by rating Advanced Valley Eye Associates three stars based on what is written below. I can't change any of that, but I decided to go back after (1) getting an apology from Dr. Miller for the poor performance and (2) a promise that they would correct their failings. I waited for about three months and dropped in today to see what they could do with my frames. I went in cold and said nothing about my past experience. The young lady behind the counter (I didn't get her name) understood what I was saying and fixed both frames to my satisfaction as if it were no big deal. She made sure I was happy and offered to tweak more if needed. Quick, simple and very pleasant. They have totally won me back. So, five stars for bouncing back and taking sincere criticism from a customer and making it right without knowing if I would ever return. I highly recommend Advanced Valley Eye Associates. ============================== September, 2014 My experience has been more Meh, but I try to be charitable and understanding because stuff happens: Four stars for the optometric and ophthalmology exams. Doctor Miller and his optometric technicians do a good job of getting you through the exam process fairly quickly and painlessly as possible. To be fair, I don't see how such an exam could receive a five star rating because it isn't pleasant, so add a star here if you actually like having your eyes dilated. They also have a new gizmo that eliminates the old device that mashes up against your eyeballs. A definite improvement. Three stars for the process of frame selection and ordering. For this latest prescription, I used my existing Silhouette frames and needed new sunglasses. The frames I want to continue using for my regular glasses got tweaked during a wrestling match with one of my grandkids. I pointed out how the one temple was opening too far and causing the frames to slip. They said they could order the temple and have it there in a couple days. I had a hard time finding a pair of sunglass frames I liked. I'd been looking for some time and had not found any frames in Sacramento but finally chose a pair that, while not ideal, meet by needs. It's my impression that people are buying frames online and I understand how the bricks and mortar places can't really compete with that kind of selection. I was told I'd get a call when both sets were ready in about two weeks. Two stars for getting the frames back on my face. Three and a half weeks went by when I finally decided to call to see what was happening. "Oops! Yes, they are here. We're sorry you didn't get a call!" Grrr. When I went in it was only the sunglasses that were ready, the replacement temple had still not arrived. A week later the regular glasses were ready, but the replacement temple was either defective or the geometry was off causing them to open too wide just as before. I wonder now if it was the same temple because I was experiencing the same problem. In any case I went back for an adjustment. They made some small adjustments that helped and explained they didn't want to "do too much at one time." They felt better, but after a couple of days I was experiencing the same problem so I went back. I had to point out what was wrong and that I wasn't interested in just tweaking it a little, but wanted it fixed. Now, a new temple has been ordered and after waiting almost two weeks, I called and was told the piece is on "back order" and won't be in for another two weeks...sigh. Two stars for communication and the website. My wife gets here contacts there and loves Advanced Valley Eye. She says she gets texts and email when her contacts come in. I went to the website thinking I could register for the same service and that would solve some of the communication problems. You can't do it on the website. That seems a little archaic in this day and age. Anyway I am supposedly set up now pending a text to confirm my number which I haven't gotten yet. Another phone call? I'll probably keep going to this vendor because Dr. Miller is an ophthalmologist and as perturbed as I am, they are local and better than the next best in town. read more

My association with Dr. Miller began with "floaters" and a check for retina detachment. All was fine and I was a candidate for LASIK as I was using bifocals to see road signs and dashboard. The LASIK was great and 8 years later no complaints. Annual visits (every couple of years) are a thorough inspection of my eyes and consultation with Dr. Miller. Staff is friendly and professional and office is nice. The optometrist is helpful and serves well. Wait time is acceptable. Dr. Miller is one of those rare individuals who donates time and resources to (go to)other parts of the world, including Mexico and Viet Nam to take care of much need eye sight problems. I recommend Dr. Miller to my friends and to others. read more
