I've only had a couple of ophthalmologist in my life, and I've been very lucky that they both been…read moregreat. Clearly among them is Dr. Brewer at Valley eyecare and eyewear. Her staff is to be commended as they truly represent the doctors well. Hannah, who assisted with my most recent visit, listened and thought about her responses before she gave them. She explained the different exams that were going to occur and she gave me immediate results, which I appreciated. It turns out I can still see. Dr. Brewer arrived in the room with a burst of energy. She asked about how I was doing, cared about how I was doing, and then we began their exam. Like Hannah, Dr. Brewer told me what was happening. The whole time was patient as I asked silly questions and I came away with the opinion that she really did care. So, I guess you could go to the mall. But I don't think you'd get the quality care you get here.

Before I made an appointment with Valley Eyecare, I don't remember the last time I'd seen an…read moreoptometrist for a vision examination. I'm guessing that it was 10 years or even more. I do remember the last full evaluation was done at the UC Berkeley Optometry clinic and that it was a long appointment. I've carried vision insurance for years, of which Gayle has used. But for some reason I didn't place this kind of health-related care at the same level as dental or medical. A high school friend, who is also a retired optometrist, convinced me to go, if only to confirm that I didn't have any glaucoma, macular degeneration, or cataract issues. Gayle has used Valley Care and has been very happy with Dr. Brewer. So to push me along, she made that appointment for me. The only "bad" news from the appointment was that my dependence on reading glasses wasn't really enough and that I needed progressives. The good news is that my vision didn't need that much adjustment and my eye health was A-OK. What a relief! The professionals at Valley Eyecare know their business well, and I felt that I was in good hands. That included Dr. Brewer's friendly and efficient manner, and the staff that supported her work. Later on, Gayle and I stopped by to pick up the glasses we picked out, that were largely covered by insurance. The fittings went well, and all I have to do know is get used to the progressives. Maybe I'll add some prescription computer glasses later, to compliment my screen time.

The office is excellently organized, and the staff is both attentive and highly qualified. Everything runs smoothly, everyone knows exactly what to do, and the entire operation is truly professional. Dr. Raymond Ruckman is absolutely amazing. He is highly knowledgeable, checked everything thoroughly, and took his time explaining the results. Even though I only came in for a routine prescription, Dr. Ruckman dedicated a significant amount of time to my care and caught an underlying issue that needed addressing. His assistants were also outstanding and incredibly supportive throughout the process. As a bonus, their frame selection is fantastic--they carry unique styles I couldn't find elsewhere (though, to be fair, Deputy Optic has a great selection too). I highly recommend him if you care about your eye health--you will be in the best hands here! A big thank you to the doctor and the entire staff!

She was still condescending & RUDE so I told her to go ahead & cancel my appointment! I will be going elsewhere. I hope that she will be taught some customer service skills if I spoke to customer/patients the way she did Id be reprimanded.
