"Amazing" is how I would describe Dr. Turner and her staff. I can't remember why I initially chose Dr. Turner just over a year ago, but I am so glad I did It might have been through online reviews. She and her staff are friendly, caring and thoughtful and take the full time necessary to help me such as at my first appointment when staff guided me through how to use the ipad I had never used before while not making me feel stupid. And Dr. was so thoughtful regarding my disabilities and took the to make sure I was comfortable when my back was hurting at my recent appointment. As it became clear i would need cataract surgery, she explained in detail what I was to expect and volunteered to help me find a good ophthalmologist in my area if possible since I live 65 miles away. So, yes, "amazing" is the perfect description. read more

Meredith Turner, OD, is a pleasant, professional eye doctor. She has the latest technology and I feel that her eye exams are thorough and accurate. Her staff is also pleasant and there is a large selection of eyeglass frames. They patiently take the time with you to select the right frame and have all of the options that I need and want for my lenses. The office is conveniently located and there is always ample, free parking. In my experience, Karen was very friendly. She worked during her lunch hour to fit my frames when I was willing to come back after lunch, and she cleaned and adjusted a pair of glasses I purchased in NYC. I would recommend Meredith Turner to anyone who asked. read more

Meredith Turner is my hero! My child scratched my eye late one night that caused me to be in excruciating pain. I knew I needed to get in to the optometrist right away. I called their office first thing in the AM and she went out of her way to squeeze me in for an appointment that morning and extended her business hours later that week to fit me in again for an important follow up. Her staff are sweet and helpful - sometimes the process of picking a new pair of frames can start to feel like choosing a wedding dress. They were patient with my wife and I and gave us honest and helpful feedback. We love the frames we've walked away with every time. read more

Meredith Turner is making every effort possible to keep her patients safe during the pandemic while also delivering quality care. She keeps the number of patients in the office to a minimum, requires that everyone be masked, and she and all her staff are masked, too. Everyone is friendly, helpful, pleasant, competent and efficient. She not only gives excellent care and conducts a thorough exam, she is comforting and informative as well, which I really appreciate. Is happy to answer questions and let you know why she's doing a particular procedure. We're very lucky to have an ophthalmologist of her caliber in Redding. read more

On my first visit to Dr. Turner, I found both her and her staff to be gentle and personable. She listened well as I described my eye issues and was very thorough in her exam. Although there was a slight change in my prescription, she never tried to "push" getting new glasses at her office, and even mentioned that I probably wouldn't even notice a change were I to fill the prescription she gave me. For all the above reasons, I am a huge Dr. Turner fan!! I am such a fan, that I took the time to fill this out for you, fair reader, so that you may know of her, too! read more

Today was a Monday like no other, as everything that could go wrong, did. Topping it off with breaking my glasses. I called Dr. Turner's office and explained my situation. Dawn called me right back and had a pair of contacts (I am a former contact wearer) for me to hold me over until I can get a new pair of glasses. This is personal patient care above and beyond and I can now finish out this day being able to see. I am very thankful for their responsiveness and care for me. Highly recommend Dr. Turner and her office staff. read more

I was suffering from something that was making my eyes miserable for almost 6 months. I went to 2 other drs which prescribed antibiotic drops or creams but gave no improvement. Dr. Turner spent over an hour with me diagnosing and treating for plugged oil ducts. She manually expressed them in her office and sent me home with an awesome moist heat eye mask and directions on how to heal this condition. My eyes were much happier the next day and fully recovered within a few weeks of following her instructions. Thank you!! read more

I have been to a number of optometrist in my lifetime, and in my opinion Dr. Turner is the best. Not simply one of the best, but the best I have ever met with. She took her time with my exam. She answered confidently and completely all my questions. And she is a most pleasant person. The staff was very helpful in getting the paper work done in a timely fashion, which was required for a first time appointment. The optician is working with me to obtain the frames that I need as well answering my questions about them. read more

On two occasions I have experienced serious vision issues that required attention beyond prescriptions for lenses. On both occasions Dr. Turner and her staff made the effort to get me promptly scheduled for eye exams.

I would say that Dr. Turner is a uniquely knowledgeable and dedicated professional. read more

My experience with Dr.. Turner was fantastic, the office crew was a lot of fun. It was the best eye exam I've ever had.

I would without a doubt say if you would like to enjoy a great time with a Dr. and office crew I strongly recommend Dr. Turner for your glasses. read more

I have been using Dr. Turner for a few years. The office is clean and welcoming when I arrive. The receptionist is polite and I am always taken back to the exam rooms within minutes (if not before) my appointment time. Ms. Turner is very thorough with her exam, much more thorough than previous eye doctors I have used in the past. I feel that my vision needs are totally taken care of and will continue to use Ms. Turner. Highly recommend! read more

My daughter has been seeing Dr Turner for years, and my youngest daughter just started going there. They weren't accepting new patients when I first tried scheduling her but they got her in within a month or so to keep sibling patients together. So grateful to this amazing staff!

Dr. Turner and her support staff are welcoming, friendly, and entirely professional. Carolina in particular is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful when choosing frames and fitting.

Altogether a great experience. read more

My local optometrist retired and I was searching for a new one. He was very difficult to replace. After calling several optometrists offices I decided on Dr. Turner even though she was 63 miles from my home. I am so glad I did. What a refreshing experience.

My husband and I had appointments yesterday and we were very impressed with the professionalism and care of the entire staff. Dr. Turner went out of her way to answer all of our questions, and the woman who helped me pick out new frames was exceedingly patient with my indecisiveness.
