I can't say enough positive things about my experience with The Envision Clinic and Dr. Israelson…read more A few years ago, I had LASIK surgery, and since then, my vision has been pretty good. I hadn't been to an optometrist in years because I didn't feel the need. That all changed one morning when I woke up with an intense case of pink eye. The Envision Clinic was able to get me in so quickly, and Dr. Israelson was incredible. She was kind, knowledgeable, and supportive, instantly putting me at ease. She prescribed treatment that worked immediately, and during our conversation, she took the time to discuss how eye health can often reveal other potential medical issues, including signs of a brain cancer recurrence--something that resonated with me deeply, as I'm a brain cancer survivor. A few weeks later, once my eye had healed, I returned for a comprehensive eye exam. I've never had such a thorough and thoughtful evaluation in my life! Dr. Israelson's attention to detail was unmatched. Although The Envision Clinic doesn't accept insurance, their pricing is very reasonable, and the quality of care is worth every penny. Dr. Israelson identified a slight astigmatism in my left eye and some mild degeneration in my LASIK correction. She explained everything clearly and practically, helping me understand why LASIK wouldn't be a good option for me again and recommending glasses specifically for driving and nighttime use to reduce glare. Her advice was incredibly practical and tailored to my unique needs, especially as someone with a complex medical history. The clinic itself is top-notch. It's clear they invest heavily in advanced equipment, staff training, and staying up-to-date with the latest research. They also have an impressive selection of frames--from trendy and fashionable to truly unique designs. Although I'm moving from Boulder to Denver soon, I'll happily make the drive back to see Dr. Israelson. She's one of the most compassionate and competent medical professionals I've ever encountered--and I've worked with many doctors over the years. If you're looking for exceptional care, practical insights, and a personalized experience, I can't recommend The Envision Clinic and Dr. Israelson enough.

Questionable/shady billing practices and bad record keeping…read more My family had met the out of pocket maximum on our medical insurance. I had already sent a child and gone myself to appointments (annual for the child with glasses, my following up on a now long term concussion) and insurance covered those appointments. I had no reason to believe that annual, regular (preventative) exams would not be covered. (I had believed that it would be part of our medical, not having used this under our current insurance before -- our plan with Kaiser included annual optometrist checks -- and Dr. Nunn was listed as an in network medical provider on the insurance page with no notations for how that would be covered despite my being logged in AND we had met our family out of pocket maximum). They have paperwork with a variety of clauses but it was verbally altered to include that the regular exam may not have inclusion of all the tests they use. I figured even $50 for additional testing they believe necessary might be okay since I otherwise should have no liability. In addition, when I walked in for the first set of appointments (2 children each date, one week apart), I was told they couldn't confirm my insurance so I actually called member services, confirmed they were in network and that the standard exam should be covered -- I noted what it was for and my expectations -- and then put the receptionist in touch with the insurance company. (Did I mention I sent the insurance information to them ahead of the appointments?) Fast forward 3 weeks and I get a bill for over $500 for the first 2 appointments. Now, here is the problem: The receptionists did not have the knowledge to answer my insurance coverage questions, and instead just rushed me to add my initials to the several disclaimers on their paperwork. When I asked about the refraction exam disclaimer (which notes that some insurances do not cover it) , they simply said "that might not be covered." (I took that specific risk but the clause that insurance may not cover standard exam seemed extraneous based on the phone call to member services and sending the info along to reception.) As I continued to fill the paperwork, I did everything, and then proceeded with the routine exams. The exams seemed fine, Dr. Nunn seemed mostly good (she had missed something on my exam but a specialist caught it so maybe it was just an unusual catch for low level reading glasses adjustment -- huge for my concussion related migraines but not necessarily super regular need). Now, however, her billing representative told me that since there are so many insurance plans they can't possibly know ahead of time if there is coverage. This ignores that they had previously billed the same insurance for myself and one of my other children (prior to our meeting our deductible and out of pocket max) and they had those accounts to guide at least some knowledge of the plan.They also have an electronic system to connect to my insurer and could have checked before the day of service. I have now paid over $1000 for four appointments. Her biller left me a message that if there were symptoms like headaches, that could change the insurance coverage. First, one of my kids did note that several times so they didn't make proper notes that day and second, this seems to be asking me to note symptoms after the fact to deal with their incompetence with the insurance (and someone less scrupulous may have made something up and participated in insurance fraud).The total bill was over $200 more, by the way, than the private pay cost that I was offered (at the same time I was asked about symptoms in a voicemail that I have retained) which was revoked with no notice.  The office may look fancy but their billing and record keeping practices (in my experience) are a real question.

I am writing to express my disappointment with the customer service I received during my visit to…read moreThe Optical Center today. A couple of weeks ago, I visited your store and was assisted by Chelsea. That experience was outstanding. She took the time to carefully select several frames for me to try on, made recommendations based on fit, and provided the kind of attentive service every customer hopes to receive. There was also another friendly gentleman at the front desk who, at Chelsea's request, looked up my records from when Jeff Lees owned and managed The Optical Center. I mentioned to Chelsea that I had purchased several pairs of glasses from Jeff years ago when I lived in the Firestone area. I also explained that I now live in Highlands Ranch, over an hour away, and had driven all the way to Longmont because of the positive experiences I had previously enjoyed at your store. After narrowing my choices to a couple of frames, Chelsea told me she would contact me with the frame details and pricing. A few days later, Chelsea called me at work and asked whether I could come in that Friday. I explained that I couldn't make it that day but that I would come the following Saturday while the shop was open. When I arrived today, however, the experience was completely different. The moment I walked through the door, I was met with one of the coldest receptions I have ever received from a retailer. Chelsea's facial expression and tone were noticeably unwelcoming. Thinking perhaps she didn't recognize me, I greeted her and said, "Hi Chelsea, I'm XXX XXXXX, the gentleman you spoke with on the phone a few days ago who was interested in purchasing the frames you selected for me." Even after introducing myself, her demeanor did not change. Having driven over an hour to your store, I asked if I could use the restroom. Instead of allowing me to take a few steps through the small office area to the restroom--as I had done in the past when Jeff Lees owned the business--I was instructed to leave the optical center, walk all the way around through the hallway, and enter from another direction because the office area was "for staff only." While I understand businesses have policies, the interaction itself felt unnecessarily cold and unaccommodating. When I returned from the restroom, the interaction became even more uncomfortable. Without any greeting or welcoming attitude, I was asked, "What do you want? Do you want to see the glasses or what?" At that point, I was genuinely taken aback. I found myself wondering what had changed since my previous visit. I had come prepared to purchase one or possibly two pairs of glasses, but after being treated in such an unfriendly and dismissive manner, I simply said I would think about it and left. I work hard for my money, and I choose to spend it with businesses that appreciate their customers. There are many excellent optical shops much closer to my home that provide friendly, respectful service. Unfortunately, because of today's experience, The Optical Center has lost a loyal repeat customer. Please remove me from your email list, delete my phone number and contact information from your records, and do not contact me in the future. I wanted to share this feedback because the difference between my first visit and today's visit was so dramatic that I felt management should be aware of it. My hope is that no other customer has an experience similar to mine.

After looking at reviews of optometrists in the area I contacted Eyecare Center and explained my situation, without hesitation or any attitude (I run into that more and more these days), the office had me come right over. I saw Dr. Dupuis, he was great.. professional yet personable, and witty without the use of tired, corny eye jokes my eye doc back home uses. I originally had just planned to just buy a pair of replacement contacts, but Dr. Eric took the time to check my contact lens prescription to ensure it was still accurate...it wasn't. He gave me an emergency pair of contacts with my updated prescription. Their pricing on lenses was less than what my eye doc back home charges so I ended up ordering more through Eyecare Center to have mailed back to my home. The only negative is the fact they're located in Boulder and not where I live, otherwise I'd be switching to Eyecare Center & Dr. Eric for my eyecare needs. Big thanks Dr. Dupuis, keep up the great work!

Even after I mentioned that I've had glasses not right at other places, they had been able to adjust them perfectly, and could she try that? She made a slight adjustment to the nose piece and told me to wear the lenses for a few days. That was silly, as I should be able to see through them as perfectly as the originals...and they made me dizzy! The fact that she was so unwilling to help was incredibly frustrating. Ultimately, I had to refuse the new lenses and have my old ones put back in. Her immediate "okay" showed a complete lack of concern. I am disappointed that spending $700 gets me this kind of customer service. If I could have seen clearly, I obviously would have walked away with them. I drove from Boulder to get them. She was completely unconcerned that these did not work for me. Glasses are expensive. Go somewhere where your vision is important to them.
