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.

Wow...after years of going here under the care of Dr. Downey, I called to schedule an appointment…read morefor a contact fitting (its pandemic) I personally couldn't wear my glasses & mask! LIZ front desk was extremely RUDE both times, I explained to her that I had new insurance & she just ignored me. So when she was calling to confirm my appointment I told her I had new insurance that I'd changed jobs since being there last. 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. LIZ please work on loving yourself so you can love your job as well, life is about choices! The 1 star is for LIZ but.....the office deserves 4!

Beyond above and beyond…read more The older I get the more crotchety I become about my vision. To say I'm a particular client is an understatement. Dr. Downey and his entire team and in particular his opticians have literally bent over backwards to help me to have the best vision possible. We're talking about making and taking back multiple different pairs until we crafted a solution that allowed me to have nearly perfect vision. It's often challenging to find really good medical care in small towns. Dr. Downey and his people are a local treasure.

I spent two hours going through tests that at the time felt off but since they were taking the time I assumed everything was okay. They had the worst selection of glasses and I really wanted to go with them because I wanted to support the business. WISH I HADN'T. They charged me over $300 for my office visit and they got my prescription 100% WRONG. I now have a pair of $600 glasses that are completely useless. They then forgot to schedule my appointment for a fitting in their system which they had confirmed on the phone with me and then treated me AWFUL when I went in for the fitting. How can families afford an office visit like this and not even get an accurate prescription?! I was so mad with how I was treated and what they gave me that I went to Vision Works in the mall for a second opinion. The front desk staff at Vision Works were beyond amazing, the optometrist listened to me and within twenty minutes had my prescription perfect. Vision Works only charged me $95 dollars.
