Dr Reski gives an exam like no other eye care professional. He identifies spots in the field of vision (don't know what else to call them) where vision may have been compromised by brain injuries. I had seen 3 different practitioners in northern CA after having experienced nausea and headaches for a year. Each of them advertised that they could prescribe for brain injury patients and NONE of them were helpful. I had to fly from Nor Cal to Portland to see Dr Reski. He tried several different prescriptions before we found the one that helped me the most. From the moment I put them on, headache and nausea disappeared. Yes, they are busy and it may take a few weeks to book an exam, but it is valuable beyond words. read more

They rush you through your appointment and there is not enough time to actually diagnose you or treat you. The people are friendly but the doctors don't really have the knowledge to diagnose traumatic brain injuries, and force you into expensive treatments and prescriptions In a " spend 500 bucks and we'll see if it works and then if it doesn't we'll try something else" way. Unfortunately after a whole year they never figured it out. read more

I recently switched to NW Eye Care Professionals on 164th after taking my son there for eye therapy and I would like to explain why. Did you know that a lot of people that have trouble reading, don't like reading, or who are labeled dyslexic actually just have a fixable vision problem?! My son, who was feeling stupid and using his wit to hide the extent of his reading problems, just needed vision therapy to be able to stop the letters from jumbling, and more. Ex: Even though he is dominant in sports, it turns out that he NEVER SAW IN STEREO! That was just one symptom that was fixed in less than 15 therapy sessions. This problem could have been diagnosed with just a few minutes of easy vision tests added to the usual eye exams. Dr. John and his co-workers do those thorough exams. Knowing how many illiterate people end up in prison, I wonder how many could have avoided that with a little bit of eye therapy and the knowledge that they really weren't stupid - their brains and eye's weren't fully working together. This organization is full of miracle workers - eye heroes! I have to support the work they do. My son doesn't love therapy and it is not cheap, but he does respect and appreciate his therapist, Chelsey, and his new ability to see the words on the page and all around him. read more

When I take the time to write a Yelp review, it is usually for outstanding service. I do not enjoy writing a negative review, but i this case, it was warranted. Northwest Eye Care and Dr Soper (previously Elite Eye Care), had many opportunities to keep two loyal customers, however, this is not the case. We are not alone in our frustrations. Around eight months ago, we paid for two separate eye exams from Elte Eye Care 7205 SE 160th. After my exam, I asked for a copy of my new eye prescrption. My partner intended to purchase eyeglasses a week later. He did not ask for a copy of his new prescription. He knew that it was on file, so he was not concerned about not receiving a written copy. A week later we learn that Elite Eye Care had already been bought out by Northwest Eye Care Professionals in Vancouver. We learn that his doctor, ( Dr Soper) had now moved to Mt View Eye Care Center to work in her husbands practice. Dr Soper's new office kept telling us that they were waiting for our records to be transferred. Meanwhile we are in need of new glasses! For many months we continue calling Northwest Eye Care Professionals and Mt View Eye Care, with no results. Eight months pass. Still no follow-up calls. We continue to be told that their computer system will not merge. Meanwhile, my partner is told by Dr Sopers receptionist Jeanne, that he waited too long to get his prescription!!!!! Keep in mind that we were promised return calls and the new prescription! We paid for an eye exam. We needed new glasses. We refuse to pay for a second eye exam when Dr Soper already charged his insurance! We still have not received access to his new prescription. Dr Soper, and Northwest Eye Care Professionals have lost two loyal customers. read more

I began as a patient of Dr Bruce over ten years ago. Having moved away from the area, I tried other doctors but they 'don't get brain injury needs' at all... Dr. Bruce and his staff GET it. Even though I am 3 hours away from their closest offices, I would rather travel to them, than go somewhere that is not equipped to handle my sight issues due to brain trauma. When I needed new glasses this last year, they re-examined my eyes (as they always do, VERY thoroughly). The staff understands the needs for breaks in these appointments as they are daunting and very much a drain on the brain (grin). They do not rush you... I am so grateful for the knowledge and care the staff at Northwest Eye Care Professionals bring to each of their offices. read more

After seeing 3 other optometrists over a period of about one year-all of whom specialized in treating visual disorders-Dr. Bruce Wojciechowski was the first and only doctor to diagnose my youngest son's problem. What Dr. Wojciechowski discovered was that my son's binocular function wasn't working, so he had to suppress the vision in one eye or the other in order to process visual information at close range. In addition to his being ADHD & dyslexic, this explained why he wasn't reading (at the time, he was in 4th grade). After getting visual therapy at NW Eye Care and doing the at-home exercises for about 18mo, it started to turn around. That was nearly 20 years ago. In 2007 my son graduated from the Vancouver School for Arts & Academics with a 4-year scholarship to the School for The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; in 2013 he received his Masters degree in Sculpture from Yale's Graduate School of Art. None of this would've been possible if my son wasn't able to read; and that would never have happened without Dr. Bruce and his excellent staff!! amy boynton, portland oregon read more

My son had an appointment here this past week and the staff was amazingly accommodating. His appointment was at 2:00 but I thought it was 2:30, so they called at about 2:20 inquiring as to why he missed the appointment. I let them know that it was my error and that we were just down the street. The woman was extremely sweet and said that it was no issue, they'd see us when we arrived. We are new to the area and I typed in the wrong address in the gps so we were later than expected. Still there were no qualms. They knew who my son was when he walked in and said "no worries, we'll make it happen." The doctor and staff were patient and very helpful. The only thing I would suggest is a follow up. When I made my appointment earlier in the month they never told me the website to register or any information. The day prior to the appointment they asked that I do everything online and print the forms to bring in. They should provide that information when you first make the appointment and maybe send a text reminder the week prior to the appointment. read more

My daughter went there for routine eye exam, but the doctor elected to do medical eye exam and gave us a LARGE BILL. I will not recommend this place or be aware. Call the insurance company and make sure they are only doing something that is covered.Also, we had to request to get my daughter's prescription. They did not give my daughter her prescription, so we cannot go other place to order her glasses. Be aware and read every paper you are signing or cost you a lot of money. read more

Dr Reski is great, he treated me twice with care. But, somehow I have a feeling his reception staff does not want more business! I called for an appointment and need to reserve over a month ahead of time, and I asked to be placed on any cancellation list anytime of the day/week. For 2 weeks, no call. Either they are too busy, or they don't want more business. So, go somewhere else where your business is appreciated. I hope Dr. Reski reads this comment. read more

I saw Dr. John Reski today and it was a great experience. He really knows his specialty inside and out and I was given a very thorough medical eye exam! I had an appointment, so there was very little wait time. Dr. Reski and his staff were so kind to both my husband and to me! I would highly recommend him, and will come to him with any of my eye care needs in the future. Thank you for a great appointment. read more

Extremely expensive and long wait times. I went in for an annual eye exam. I an double covered with vision insurance. I told them that I did not need a contact lens fitting appointment and was told this was fine. Then I was charged $70 for a contact lens fitting. This fee is typically $30-40 at my past eye doctor. I wanted to keep my glasses frames but upgrade the lenses. They quoted me $462 to switch out the lenses on my old frames. I found another provider and had this done for $120. read more

This location offers the best vision therapy. My daughter is always looking forward to coming in for her sessions. I noticed a lot of improvement in her eye sight and it is definitely worth putting in the time and commitment every week. Front office provides the best customer service and makes us feel welcome. Highly recommended! read more

Outstanding people and customer service!! I have used other optical stores and I have to say that Sarah (Vancouver office) blew me away by going above and beyond to find a pair of glasses that would work for my son who has special needs. She did a bunch of extra leg work to get the glasses in and out of the lab in record time. Dr Macson Lee has a way of working with my son that communicates warmth and respect. Thank to to the whole team at NW EYECARE PROFESSIONALS. You are doing amazing work! read more
