    After many years of not seeing my Optometrist, I had a full eye exam done at Valley Eye Care in…read moreGardnerville. I felt lucky coming out of the appointment (Dr. Amanda Brewer) with a healthy eye opinion and a reasonable progressive prescription. After a few months of using my new spectacles, I noticed that my eyesight was actually getting worse. So back to Dr. Brewer I went to look at my prescription. What she found instead was that my cataracts had grown, and it was time for surgery. She then referred me to Dr. Caleb Morris at Nevada Eye Consultants. Nevada Eye Consultants is quite an operation, full of patients, doctors, and support staff. I was efficiently shuttled from room-to-room including another eye exam, some follow-up, 1:1 time with Dr. Morris, and the insurance person. This experience kind of reminded me of taking my then step-daughter to the Orthodontist to see if braces were required. The visit being 1 part Doctor and an equal part being treatment and financing options. I thought Dr. Morris was great and as another review rightly stated: From consultation to surgery day and follow up- professional, clean, communicative. Note that Surgery is done next door at the Eye Surgery Center of Northern Nevada.

I was scheduled pretty quickly for my initial appointment 2 days…read morelater... 5 days later did official eye measurements for my cataract surgery... cataract surgery 28 days later, will update that at the end of the month once it happens.

I had a situation involving my…read moreoptic nerve and eye inflammation and Rob took such attention to detail about my case to gain insight to lead me to a Neurologist upon his referral. I cannot thank this team enough, words don't do it justice. The office is beautiful and the waiting lobby is warm and inviting with plenty of seating. The patient rooms are also plentiful with more seating in the back office. Should I need retina specific eye care I will absolutely return and refer everyone I know. They are compassionate and great listeners. It's not often when you feel like they truly care about your situation and do everything in their power to help, but here they do. Huge shoutout to the referrals gal, Shannon, for helping me and communicating along the way in finding a suitable Neurologist for my condition. I'm so thankful for this office, for Rob Welch and staff. Thank you!

    My experience with Nevada Retina Associates was incredibly frustrating from start to finish…read more They repeatedly "lost" my referral (even after it was sent multiple times), don't accept emails, and made me wait nearly a full day just to confirm they had it. They also refused to schedule my appointment without insurance info, only to tell me after I arrived that they don't take my insurance. They charged me $500 upfront, then later said the visit was only $130. I was also forgotten in an exam room for 40 minutes, and the front desk had no idea where I was. To make matters worse, my insurance later confirmed this office actually DOES accept my plan, which means my out-of-pocket cost should have only been $50, and they aren't willing to refund me immediately, as they did with the $500. Now have to wait for them to process this mess via the insurance. So no follow-up, no accountability, and now I have to start over with another doctor and pay again. And when I spoke to the billing person, Shannon. She was very rude. I had to remind her that if the shoe were on the other foot, she would feel differently. Completely disorganized and unacceptable for a medical office dealing with serious eye issues. I would strongly recommend going elsewhere.

The receptionist who took my call, the front desk staff, and intake nurse were all incredibly nice, calm, friendly, and patient with me. I wish every doctor's office had staff like this. I was seen by Dr Westafer and he conducted a thorough eye exam and answered all my questions and concerns. His style is very direct but that's fine with me... not trying to be friends with my eye doctor. He referred me to an ophthalmology neurologist to support my specific issue and assuaged me that I really had nothing to be concerned about. I feel super confident in his exam and the diagnosis. I absolutely recommend this office and Dr Westafer to others. Such a great experience.

My first cataract surgery went so poorly that I waited 3 years before having my other eye done by Dr. W. Dr. Westafer is a very busy guy, but when he sees you, you have his complete attention. He explains everything and answers your questions fully. His office and surgical facility are state of the art as far as I can see. Lots of fancy equipment. The surgery went great and my vision is now 20/20. I highly recommend him.

When my son had the 'incident' we were a little confused about what to do. it was quite serendipitous that we already had appointment with Dr. Hong for two days later. He was accidentally shot in the eye with the desiccated Orby, and was fortunate enough that somebody on site had a family member that worked in an optometrist office. We got in to see her, and was immediately referred to Dr. Hong. Fortunately, there was no waiting as we had an appointment with her the next day. The office is wonderful, it is pediatric so clearly serves all of the youngsters. The staff put you at ease immediately, and there is plenty for the young ones and littles to do. The assistant that called us back was just wonderful. My son was quite nervous and scared, at 15. He would never admit that, and she was just very gentle and calming. Dr. Hong herself is amazing! She was so very thorough, disseminated a lot of information that was easy to understand. Made sure that he understood what was going on and understood what he needed to do to care for his eye. She explained everything so well, and really put us both at ease. An eye I injury can be really scary, especially to somebody so young with a lot of years ahead. She sent us out with clear directions, he was really good and following them. They had us back for a follow up and everything was looking better. We have yet to see her one more time for a final follow up, and hopefully close this file. For something that started out so scary, Dr. Hong put it at ease, and turned it into a far better experience than it could have been.

We were scheduled within two weeks which was awesome. We got to meet with Dr. Macco, who was really friendly and along with her staff. They were diligent with scanning in our records from the previous doctor, doing all the routine eye exams, and helping us pick out eye glasses. They have more modern equipment than our last doctor, which is convenient so I don't have to go to a specialist too. They are located in the Bicycle shopping center, tucked in the back left corner. Their office has been open for a little over a year so they have a limited style selection of eye glasses. But it's a nice welcoming location with Lina and Vanessa to help as soon as you walk in. My husband was able to see Dr. Huntting for his annual check up and was also impressed with the modern technology they offered to do their exams with. When I've returned to their office to pick up or order another set of glasses, their staff already remembered who my daughter and I were. Amazing customer service!
