I asked about the terrible Yelp ratings for SVME and she explained that they have a lot of doctors, so there are a lot of scheduling issues, but the doctors themselves are great.

There were a couple of highly rated optometrists in Grass Valley, a 30 minute drive from Auburn so I inquired. The reception staff at Layne Christensen's office were incredibly helpful and genuinely concerned on my behalf. They arranged an appointment the next day. Dr. Christensen was thorough, a great listener and diagnosed my issue immediately. He provided exactly what I needed. I highly recommend this office for its high level of compentency and genuine concern for their patients.

Today when I went to see her it was the same experience. She was patient and explained and educated me about everything pertinent to my eyesight. I actually wept briefly, so relieved that she was listening to Me, paying attention to Me. I wasn't just another number. She spent an hour with me. Her staff were equally patient and spent another hour with me to help order frames that not only I liked, but ones that would be the most helpful with my particular prescription. Thank you, See you next time.

I asked about the terrible Yelp reviews for SVME and she explained that since they have a lot of doctors there are a lot of scheduling issues, but the doctors themselves are great. I spoke with 2-3 different front desk staff at SVME, they were polite and followed through on getting me a walk-in spot. They took me back within a couple minutes of my appointment time, the young guy who did the first couple tests forgot to dialate my eyes which made me wait 15 minutes more after the Dr saw me, but was otherwise great and very friendly. Dr Zealear was super cool and though they squeezed me in the same day did not seem rushed, in fact he seemed really thorough in the examination, explanation of results, implications, and recommendations etc. Overall WAY better than the Yelp rating suggests.

Not only does Eye to Eye accept my insurance, they also have a first in class assortment of eye glasses and the most high tech exam machines I've encountered. I will never go to another mall, chain, or big box store or any of the private practices. My experience was personal and professional. I was specifically looking for Matisse eyewear, which according to the NY based company, is only carried by 2 offices in Northern California. This small town Grass Valley office has a huge assortment of eyewear options ranging from designer and popular sport options like Ray Ban and Oakley to bargain options. The selection and fitting service was stellar. Dr. Tom educated me on my dry eye issues and provided sample products (That's a first! I have visited multiple optometrists and opthalmologists for this issue over the years.).

We hope that he supports his front end staff in some additional training, because they are the people that can cause a problem in keeping their customers happy.
