I received thorough education and discussion about what attention was required to remedy my situation and after two procedures was returned to 20/20 vision. Working myself in healthcare for 50 years, I found this entire staff to be friendly and totally professional from Sabrina at the front desk to Kelly, Kate ,Kai and Alexis. I must add that that my visits with Dr Svanda were extremely thorough and informative as well. All in all, I cannot recommend more highly this staff of caring and highly talented individuals .Be assured you are in the best of hands.

It…read morewas a welcome surprise to hear that Dr. Rostov, an esteemed colleague and mentor of mine, was establishing her own practice to buck the trend of corporate medicine. A glimmer of hope for her patients and our community! I am writing this review, unprompted, to attest to her skill as a surgeon and compassion and care as a doctor to her patients and mentor to young, up and coming doctors. There aren't many reviews on the usual sites yet but I urge you to at least visit her website and reviews there since they are from her decades of experience and happy patients. Preferably, visit her office, meet her and her team and decide for yourself! Without hesitation, if you are considering a vision correction procedure, you owe yourself an evaluation with one of the top surgeons in the country at Bellevue Precision Vision where they perform all the newest procedures including SMILE/LASIK/EVO ICL and RLE.

I had an appointment at 10:30 AM at the Bellevue office today. I arrived on time and had previously…read moreconfirmed my appointment after receiving multiple reminder texts emphasizing punctuality and a $75 no-show fee for cancellations within 24 hours. However, it was 11:30 AM and I still had not been seen by the doctor. I had clearly informed the front desk that I needed to leave by 11:30, yet there was no meaningful update or accommodation. If a practice expects patients to strictly honor appointment times and threatens financial penalties for delays or cancellations, there should be the same level of respect for patients' time. Communication about delays and better schedule management would go a long way. I understand that medical offices can run behind occasionally, but a full hour without being seen -- especially after stressing punctuality in reminder messages -- is not acceptable. I hope Overlake EyeCare takes patient time as seriously as it expects patients to take theirs.

Wow, first time there, definitely going to continue. I had some flashes in my right eye and went to…read morethe ER. They said they didn't see anything but said go to an optometrist for a dilated exam. I didn't much like my old optician, so I called these folks.

Good service, terrible glasses…read more Use of anything but Bellevue Vision clinic's "special" cleaning fluid ruins the lens due to the fact that they are made from cheap plastic. (Note cleaner used has worked fine with every other pair of glasses ever owned). Also opted for the add-on of magnetic pop on/off sunglasses. They are convenient, but the magnets are well within the field of vision. When complained about the issue was told there was nothing to do but perhaps let the manufacturer know. Finally, despite several visits for re-adjustments they still fit poorly. Back to old glasses. Waste of time and money. If you proceed anyway: Be VERY careful on your selection and stock up on the "magic" cleaner.

Sharp Vision in Renton and Bellevue, Washington, is absolutely FANTASTIC…read more I called them on June 9 and was able to get in the very next morning at 9:00. I went through the preliminary testing and explained what I wanted. I wanted monovision because I had done that before with contacts, and they told me, "Yes, we can do that." They put me through the testing, and the next day I met with the surgeon. He said, "Sure, we can do this for you. No sweat." That was exactly what I needed to hear. I was scheduled for the following Tuesday for my first eye, had the procedure done, and went back the next day for the follow-up. Everything was healing nicely. The one thing I really want to say is that everybody -- the doctors, the receptionists, the scheduling staff, the people on the phone, everyone -- was FANTASTIC. This outfit is the greatest. If you need eye surgery, LASIK, cataract surgery, or anything else Sharp Vision provides, do yourself the biggest favor and go there first. I highly, highly recommend Sharp Vision for all of your eye care needs.

I gave 2 stars because of the billing experience. Dr. Schmidt was wonderful, and the surgery nurses…read morehad excellent bedside manner. They made me feel comfortable throughout the procedure. Before my surgery, I was quoted a price weeks in advance and paid it in full. Unfortunately, I wasn't a candidate for LASIK, which was disappointing, but Dr. Schmidt was able to perform the procedure manually instead. Since the LASIK portion wasn't done, I was told the procedure should have cost about $2,000 less. At my follow-up appointment, I didn't see Dr. Schmidt. Instead, I saw another doctor after waiting nearly 40 minutes for an exam that lasted less than five minutes. When I asked about the $2,000 difference, I was told that I actually owed an additional $900 because a deductible had been applied after my original quote. This was extremely frustrating. If I had been informed before surgery that my out-of-pocket cost would increase by $900, I could have planned and budgeted accordingly. Instead, I was given one price, paid it upfront, and then was surprised with an unexpected bill afterward. The medical care itself was great, but the lack of transparency and communication about billing left me very disappointed.
