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.

Totally scammed by Sunrise Vision/Colorado Eye Center…read more Totally got scammed by the doctor who insisted that I was medically eligible for contacts. She said it'd be covered by insurance. I insisted I didn't want contacts, I only wanted basic lensed glasses. Nothing special. She insisted on giving me a readers prescription -I am legally blind in my left eye. I will never use readers because I can't see with them. She insisted. I go to leave and she mentions the contacts, I ask her are there any extra costs. "Oh no, everything is covered" I insisted that I don't want to pay for any of this. I don't need them. Got a bill last month, I'm pissed. Beware of their underlying bullshit. I should've listened to my gut and told her to buzz off So beware, they will scam you with the comfortable insistence that it'll be all good and bill you for hidden fees

In August, I needed a form signed that I had had an eye exam in the last 6 months. I brought the fillled-in form in to be signed and was told that the doctor wasn't in but would be in the next day and I should come back in 2 days and pick up the signed form. So I came back in 2 days and they had lost the form. But I was prepared with another form filled out except for the signature of the eye doctor. Alas, that doctor wasn't in and ... oopsie ... they said I needed ANOTHER eye exam $$$ (despite having the "works" done a couple of months ago) and then the eye doctor might sign the paper on Friday and then they'd maybe email it to me. Good grief. So I won't be back - had much better exams and service at LensCrafters.

I appreciated that the nice gal at the front desk (she had luscious long braids) never made me feel rushed or unimportant - stellar customer service skills if you ask me. There is a Keurig to make yourself some coffee to enjoy there or on the go. I am also pleased to announce that the rest of my lense order arrived within just a few days and I received a nice phone call to let me know they had arrived. With a busy work schedule I was elated to confirm that my partner would be able to pick the rest of the order up on my behalf. I definitely recommend this place for your contact needs.

Dr. Judy Marrocco at Bollenbacher & Associates/Aspen Eyewear is a saint. I have nystagmus, which is…read morecharacterized by rapid, involuntary eye movement which gets worse when I try to force my eyes to focus straight ahead on something, like, say, the eye chart at the ophthalmologist's office! Because of this, I went more than twenty years of my life with a less-than-ideal glasses/contact lens prescription for my myopia and astigmatism. Every optometrist and ophthalmologist was always just like, "Well, I can't get your eyes to focus long enough to read this eye chart, so just keep the same prescription you've had since you were in kindergarten, I guess." It was so frustrating. Last year, I found Dr. Marrocco, who describes herself as the doctor you go to when none of the other doctors can help you. This is spot on! During my eye exam, she was calm, patient, and reassuring, which is really important for patients with nystagmus because the eyes tend to shake faster when the patient is stressed. She is warm, caring, and takes her time to ensure you'll get the most accurate prescription. Since I was born with nystagmus, astigmatism, and severe myopia (we're talking -12.5 in one eye and -14.5 in the other), I have met a LOT of eye doctors in my life, and I can say with complete confidence that Dr. Marrocco is the very best doctor if, like me, you're terrible at eye exams and dread them more than the dentist.
