I love this man. He is so competent, careful, thorough and effective. I heard from my brother…read morethat I could get eye surgery, for cataracts, and also to correct my dismal vision. Since second grade I've had glasses and later, contacts. I am 72 and had cataracts, astigmatism and I was near and far sighted. When I look now through my old glasses I get knocked on my a**. I'm an artist so this was inconvenient at the very least. My coke-bottle bottom glasses were wearing holes in the bridge of my nose. Dr. Skoog gave me surgery for cataracts, Medicare paid for it. At the same time I additionally had to get Toric lenses for astigmatism and they were $1100 per eye, totally worth it. Do you want to see, or don't you? Seeing is good. In case I was shaky or iffy about Dr. Skoog, my brother and some of his friends had had surgery with him. My sister-in-law researched him aggressively and found him superb.

We had an Excellent experience today w/ Dr Colburn @ Spokane Vision Clinic. Both the nurse & the…read moredoctor took their time examining and testing both my kiddos. Additionally the doctor spent a great deal of time discussing & answering all our concerns & questions. He wasn't too pushy in either direction but rather provided us extensive knowledge about both forms of treatment and the success rate of each. We came to the appointment because we were recommended for Vision Therapy by one of our normal family vision doctors but Dr Colburn explained in detail why that may not be the best route to take, we personally picked this clinic despite us being referred to another clinic because of the detailed expertise on their website and we were hoping to seek care from the best of the best no matter the distance of travel (we come from Moses Lake). He also explained the possible need for surgery with my son but not my daughter. He described all of the details of what that would entail and the success rate and potential final outcome from surgery. We felt he genuinely respected our wishes as he could see we weren't a fan of having to have my son undergo surgery. He did a great job educating us with all the knowledge we needed to make our own decision as a parent (my mom was there with us in place of my husband) and recommended we do followup appts for my son in 6 months and 1 year for my daughter unless we see a negative progression in their symptoms or challenges within in their learning abilities that may be (or may not be) from their vision challenges (Strabismus exotropia aka wandering eye). He elaborated on the extensive cost of Vision Therapy and explained that medical coverage doesnt cover the expense because there is no proven medical studies that support the success of it but also told me if we wanted to still pursue vision therapy treatment to certainly do that if we felt it was worth the chance it could make a difference. With that said although he said surgery for my son may potentially help my sons issue there was no guarantee which is why he said we can monitor the condition. We genuinely appreciated his knowledge and willingness to educate us and didnt just soley push surgery beings that was the only treatment he could provide. Lastly his staff was all very patient, knowledgeable and respected our time. We had to schedule two separate appts one for each kiddo that were 1hr apart but they didnt proceed in that manner. Both kids were examined carefully back to back and reviewed with care. They truly took their time with us and treated each kid accordingly. we were a bit nervous coming to the appt because of a couple negative reviews I seen on Google but our experience was awesome...nothing remotely close to some of the negative Google reviews I read. Im so glad I followed my instincts to schedule with this clinic oppose to the original one we were referred to in TriCities. I felt Dr Colburn truly cared and went above and beyond to give me all the background knowledge I needed to feel comfortable navigating and making my own parental decision now and going forward. If you or your kids are having vision limitations such as my kiddos I highly recommend you schedule an appt here. While we didnt get the prognosis we were expecting I think it was better because he educated us in all the treatments we could ultimately choose to pursue how we felt best necessary. When we originally began reviewing this issue 1yr ago with one of our home vision doctors it was dismissed and mis-diagnosed. When we seen a different doctor within the clinic he recommended the vision therapy. The 1yr lapse of time really had me frantic about the situation and feeling like I was racing against time to not fail my kids need for care. But knowledge is power and this appointment really allowed my concerns to be recognized but not be full of worry. Thank you Dr Colburn & staff of Spokane Vision Clinic you really helped me relieve some stress from my worried Mama mind that I have the knowledge I need to proceed in the manners I feel necesssary.

Those places all declined to provide a sample pair unless I had an exam, even though I explained I had my current prescription. When I called Northside, Megan answered the phone. She was fabulous! She asked me what my prescription was, found that they had samples, and provided them to me after purchasing a box of contacts, exactly what I needed! When I arrived at the store, a receptionist warmly greeted me and explained that Megan would be right with me. I sat in their lovely waiting room for a minute before Megan got me my samples and ordered me a six-month supply, all for tremendously cheaper than I had paid for that same box at other stores in the past! Megan solved a major problem for me in minutes and with great kindness and respect. The customer service at Northside Vision Center is truly fabulous, and they've made a lifelong customer out of me!

I'd been told "come in if you have any issues!" So I did, but was not told that this would be considered a new visit - and it was charged to my insurance company and incurred an additional $50 copay that I was never informed about until I got the invoice in the mail. It would seem like if you have a strong reaction to something that happened during their treatment, you would be seen without it incurring another charge. OR at least you would be informed of such. The glasses that my husband and I ordered from them scratched easily despite paying extra for scratch protection - and I only ever used the cloth given to me. After shopping around we realized we could have saved hundreds going elsewhere. Also keep in mind that one of their employees is "hands on" - that is will touch your shoulder, arm or get into your personal space. While I'm generally really easy going, it happened often enough and bothered me enough to have to ask to have someone else help me - the request was granted, but the nurse I spoke to acted like I was being unreasonable for making the request, and i had to continue to make the request every time I came in - apparently it was not noted in my file. I hate giving negative reviews, but thought it might help others to share my experience. I will be taking my business elsewhere and encourage others to do so as well.

About 25 years ago I had surgery in Portland and it was successful at that time but eventually it was sagging again. About 8-10 years ago I had another Dr. in Spokane do surgery .

About 4 months ago I went to get new glasses, because even with my glasses I was seeing double.

She explained each procedure as well as what the tests were for. I that love GVS has the option to use an optos machine (around $42 sliding scale) that takes a picture of the back of your eye to check your eye health if you don't want to get your eyes dilated. I hate having weird vision for 2-3 hours so I opted to pay for the optos imaging which took less than a minute! They also have a different machine to check eye pressure that isn't the puff of air :) O.D. Glennie was super kind during my eye exam and also answered all the questions and concerns I had. I chose to do a contact lenses consultation which cost me $70 ($60 once you become a recurring patient) they also have potential rebates for contact lenses. All in all I got out of there with insurance for $123 ($70 consult + $25 co pay + $26 sliding scale for optos and tax ) Just some info I asked about as well (as of 11/22/2024) They take State insurance: - Community health (for patients 20 and younger) - Coordinated care (but not AM better) Cost without insurance: $207 eye exam with dilation or $247 if you opt for the optos machine instead of dilation

Jackie was incredible in kindly educating me regarding my choices and helped me select a great pair of progressive lens glasses (from a surprising selection) and I got a pair of driving glasses at the same time.

I highly recommend these guys and will be back again next year.
