I found Bidwell Optometry through my insurance and decided to book an appointment and I'm really glad I did. The entire staff was warm and personable from start to finish. Dr. Patel was very transparent and took the time to address my concerns about night driving, which honestly put me at ease. I came in knowing what I wanted, and she checked every box. The exam itself was smooth and straightforward, and then I got to do my favorite part, shop, lol. I believe her name was Millie, and she was incredibly kind. I never felt rushed or pressured while picking out frames, and no one tried to upsell me on anything I didn't want. She walked me through the top-tier lens options but respected my choices when I declined any extras. read more

Very helpful and kind staff. The Dr's were very nice and explained everything easily for me to understand.

Ver good eye exam and glasses service. Front desk helped me with every aspect of my insurance

I am VERY HAPPY with the new RX Sunglasses I bought here! Allysa is a Optician who help me much & was very competent, helpful and pleasant! I will go there again the next time I need eyeglasses. read more

The doc quickly identified some mid-prescribed lenses and got me set up straight. Best vision I've had in my life. Excellent work. Thanks!

I hadn't been to this eye doctor since my last good vision plan in 2012. They are by all counts the best in this industry within a 30 mile radius and possibly the state! The owner and primary doctor is a woman so that already makes me want to support them. Calling them was so easy, professional, and calming during this scary COVID-19 pandemic. They assured me they all wear masks, wipe down areas after each use, and check people's temperature upon arrival. They did all that and more when I arrived. If you have a need for glasses, contacts, or just want a check-up, know you are getting the best in the business. My past eye doctors were never so thorough like Dr. Wademan. Her staff are thoroughly trained unlike some retailers with pseudo eye professionals claim. They updated all their equipment and it is like brand new state of the art eye doctor tools. They replaced the awful gust of air blown in your face with a new piece of tech that does the same thing but much less evasive. They also are generous with their samples! I was given five different pairs of color contacts to take home and try on. I landed on Brilliant Blue and True Saphire. Love them!! Thank you Dr. Wademan!! read more

Bidwell Optometry - True Saphire - Optometrists Near Me - Folsom, California

Be leery of this office. They sold me glasses for a prescription they said a month later I didnt need. In addition, I had symptoms during an eye exam that are deemed an emergency in some cases and wasn't even offered any treatment or referral to an Optamologist. The manager however is good to work with and strived to make things right. read more

The staff at Bidwell Optometry is professional and friendly. I trust Dr. Wademan and feel that my eyes are thoroughly checked out. We have been coming to Bidwell Optometry for many years and refer people in every opportunity. read more

First time patient at Bidwell Optometry. Easy to make appointment, and accepts my insurance. Arrived a bit early and had to complete forms as I waited. I am called back by the tech or whatever her correct title is, who performs all the test. I'm wondering, what is the doctor going to do? Test completed without issue and the tech is well trained, friendly and professional. Great job. Go into another room and wait for doctor. Doctor arrives and is also ver friendly and professional. I go through several more vision test. All test compleated and we discuss any issues and changes to my eyes. Again, the doctor was professional and very competent. All good. First two steps down and each deserving of 5 stars. Back to the waiting room and its time to look at frames and find a new pair of glasses. I ask about a certain brand and they don't carry them. Look around at the displays, which seems to be very limited compared to my last optometrist office. Ask about another type but they only have a very large pair but of course they could order smaller pair. I decided to take my Rx with me and purchase elsewhere. Overall 4.5 stars due to the lack of selection in eye wear. I understand and could see they were limited to a smaller display area due to the size of the office. Recommend based on overall service and speed. If you are picky about your eye wear and don't want to go to another place to find what you like, then you might want to find an optometrist office with a greater selection on hand. read more

Dr. Jen is so wonderful! She loves what she does and stays up on the latest treatments and fashion trends. Very reasonable cash rates!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Wademan. She and her staff are so welcoming. She found the perfect contact prescription for me. I definitely found my new optometrist. read more

Update, it's only right to oust the update after one of the doctors responded. The doctor who responded, is the bright spot of this business. The doctor from whom she took this business from was the problem. He was an idiot in all honesty. Just fricken greedy. The new doctor is very nice and I did have an opportunity to have interaction with her prior to the incident. She is very kind. read more

My first visit with Dr Wademan & staff was exceptional!! I am thrilled with the level of care, examination and time devoted to my appointment. I will certainly be a repeat client & highly recommend Bidwell Optometry!!! A truly delightful experience..... read more

I have been coming to this Optometrist for 14 years. Both Dr. Wademan and Dr. Jonas are professional, helpful, and clearly understand their business. When I had a problem with one of my eyes several years ago, they made themselves available immediately, explained what has happening and referred me to a competent specialist. It went a long ways to easing my concern. The staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. They are definitely tops in my book. read more

My famiy and i have been coming here foe 3 yrs now ..just love doctor Wademen she is very considerate as well as her staff .

Dr. Wademan and her staff are awesome. After not seeing an eye doctor for over two years, I decided it was time, and this time I used Sightbox. They made the appointment here and I'm glad they did. Dr. Wademan answered all my questions I had regarding trying a new brand of contacts and when that brand didn't work, she was quick to update my prescription to my previous brand that worked better. All in all, very nice experience, thanks to everyone in the office! read more

Bidwell Optometry has been the place my family goes for years. Their service is excellent, the staff is friendly, and everyone is very knowledgeable and helpful. They will always greet you kindly and help you as soon as they can. I've never had a bad experience here, not even when they shoot that puff of air into your eye--even though that is the worst. read more

Dr. Bidwell is one of the most down to earth optometrists I've ever met. The staff are dedicated to patent care and they have great brands like Kate Spade, Prodesign, and TOMS Eyewear. This is where I plan to handle all the family's eyewear needs. read more

Excellent service! I was well taken care of. Dr. W was great and Annie the optician was WONDERFUL!

I have been a patient of Bidwell Optometry since 2008 and I wouldn't go anywhere else! The staff have always been incredibly helpful and Dr.Wademan is phenomenal. She is very thorough, caring, and compassionate. You can tell how much she values her patients! They carry designer and affordable brands so there is something for everyone! My whole family and several friends go here so just had to share why we think so highly of Bidwell Optometry! read more

Love Bidwell Optometry and their frames! Have been going there for years, and really like all the doctors I have seen there through the years. Highly recommend! read more

Just became a new patient of Dr Jonas, their office was having an incredible frame show. I ended up coming out with 3 pairs of high style glasses. The staff is friendly and help you stay within your budget but end up looking like a million!!!! I'll definitely be back next year! Thank you Bidwell Optometry for your excellent service! read more

Please confirm your appointments before coming here especially if you are a new patient ! My daughter was a new patient to the practice . She was having eye pain for a couple weeks and I decided to get her an appointment. The person who scheduled the appointment gave me the soonest appointment they had . I went in for her appointment and was told she was not going to be seen at her appointment time because the front desk put in the wrong date for her appointment. They asked me to come back later on during the day , unfortunately they could not accommodate. I took the morning off from work and hired a babysitter to watch my two small children. I am so disappointed. I asked to speak with a manager and was told she was unavailable until later that week . I do feel that a patient's time is just as valuable. After explaining my situation, they would still not see my daughter even though we had an appointment. If someone comes to see you with an appointment and you send them away because the office made a mistake , that is just WRONG. read more

I could not have asked for a better experience. This is such a nice office and they have such a cool frame selection. I have now purchased 5 pairs of frames, so I can have several options every day, and the cool frame selection made it hard to pick just 1 pair. Dr. Wademan is SO nice and attentive and knowledgeable. I love this place! read more

I am only giving 2 stars not for the business itself but the lack of communication between eye doctors. The office staff is great. The two optometrists I saw gave me polar opposite eye exams. One Dr stated my right eye went from a 3.25 down to to 2.50 - which I have no clue as to how that would have happened. When I went back in less than 2 months because the -tri focal contact lenses were a problem, the 2nd Dr stated my right eye was 3.50. Both DRs gave me contacts and both recommended contacts that didn't help my vision. I have to say - the correct contact for my right eye was recommended by one of their amazing office staff at 3.50. I am hesitant to go back. read more

Dr. Wademan and her team are fantastic. Super professional office with friendly staff. Thank you for a great visit. After going to the same doctor for 20 years it was time to move closer to home. Her staff was welcoming and kind. I highly recommend a visit. Thank you Bidwell Optometry. read more

I just moved to the area I recently had an exam here at Bidwell Optometry and the staff was very welcoming upon my arrival. The front desk lady had me fill out new patient papers and she made small talk with me while I wrote everything down. I appreciated that instead of it being quiet and awkward. When I was finished I did the pretesting and then saw the Dr. She looks very young but she is very knowledgeable.I felt that I definitely was given the right prescription. I have a high prescription and needed contacts as soon as possible since my glasses broke (my crazy dog decided it was his new chew toy) and she gave me contacts to take home until my boxed ones came in! That was such a relief and very kind of them. I plan on coming back to purchase glasses sometime soon when I save up but I asked anyways if they have any deals. Dr introduced me to the optician and she told me about the packages they offer for people without insurance or who want to pay out of pocket. I was given a quote and left all within 1 hour. The office was clean but it did have an older feel to it. I did some research before and it was Dr. Jonas practice first and now he is retiring and Dr. Wademan is now the owner. I asked the ladies at front if Dr will hire another doctor to work here too and they said maybe but they are going to be renovating the office and upgrading it to a more "modern feel". Im excited to come back in a year and see what has changed. Great experience and lovely employees. read more

The most AMAZING office ever!!! Could not be happier!! The office staff and the doctor are beyond professional courtesy! Extremely kind, helpful and went above and beyond!! We have made them our new home for all Optometry needs!! THANK YOU!!! read more

Not a good place. I received way better service at Costco. First, they reassured me over the phone that all I have to pay is a co-pay. After I received my exam all fees increased. They requested me to buy lenses from them otherwise I had to pay extra 60$. It took me 2 trips to a doctor (with my recent exam for my glasses) for them to figure it out. Never again! read more

I went to Bidwell Optometry a couple few times for routine eye exams. Each time the doctors were VERY LATE like at least 30 to 45 minutes late for the appointment. When I asked about how much longer or commented on how late the appointment started after the scheduled time, I experienced a response and attitude that indicated they didn't give a damn or could care less how much time I had to sit waiting in the waiting room. It felt very rude and disrespectful that they indicate they do not have any concern about how late they run and never expressed the least bit of concern or care about seeing their patients any time near the scheduled time. If they even showed a little bit of care or concern that their appointments are so late it wouldn't be so bad. The complete lack of concern did not make me feel that they value their clients at all. I have no intention of ever returning there and I plan to find a different Optometry office for future eye exams. read more
