    I had severe double vision and uncorrected astigmatism from a traumatic brain injury in 2008, on…read moretop of my near-lifelong near-sightedness. The ophthalmologist at Seattle Children's Hospital and multiple optometrists after that all missed it. Spokane Eye Clinic Valley did an *amazing* job. Dr. Ellis caught the double-vision right off the bat, and was able to give me a prescription for prism glasses that fully correct that, my astigmatism, and my near-sightedness. Her professionalism, kindness, patience, and knowledge, as well as that of her staff, was quite refreshing. She made sure my prescription was exactly what I needed, and even made the necessary adjustments a month later (commonly necessary with new prism lenses) without charging for the visit. Now I have my 3D vision back, and my double vision is gone! Alongside that, the office staff and opticians are all friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They worked with my insurance, and handled everything wonderfully. I cannot recommend Spokane Eye Clinic Valley more highly. Quite simply put, if you have *any* eye troubles, you NEED to see Dr. Ellis. She and her staff are the best of the best in my experience.

    If it were possible to share zero stars I would. I've had an ongoing issue that began in February,…read moreafter trying my optometrist decided to refer me to Spokane eye clinic. This is apparently an emergent issue - I'm losing vision in my right eye, and now my left eye has begun showing symptoms. My referring optometrist sent the paperwork by fax in June 2026, it is now September 2026 and nothing has happened. When I call I reach the main office, I have spoken with several people including a gentleman named Thomas who is very helpful, but because this is an emergent case, I must be transferred to triage, every time I get transferred over to triage The girl tells me something different - first it was that they only have a cover sheet, although my physicians office has called each time to follow up and ensure that every page of the fax was received, and most recently she told me that the referral was now dated too far out and I needed new clinical paperwork. I've asked to speak to her supervisor and each time I've been put on hold and the call never goes through or is dropped. From what I've heard, Spokane Eye Clinic has gone drastically downhill recently and nobody is receiving their referral or any follow ups, so I'm not the only one. What a horribly disappointing experience to have. I guess it's no big deal, it's just my vision.

    I had LASIK here after many years of thinking about it. I was sick and tired of cleaning my glasses…read moreevery ten minutes, and contacts eventually made my eyes miserable. Doctors check everything out and make sure you are physically ready for surgery, as well as mentally. They explain everything that happens and will go in depth if you want. The day of surgery, the team took great care of me, making me very comfortable awaiting my turn. The procedure was professionally handled, and efficiently completed. It was also effective as I now have 20/15, coming from 20/50. So no more squinting to read road signs! And I get to wear my sunglasses whenever(if you have to wear glasses, you know this is a big deal). The instructions for post op care are clear. And when I came in for my post op appointment, the team was top notch. I can't thank Pacific Cataract and Laser enough. They really have added significant value to my life! Thank you!

I have to say the whole process was amazing! Staff was kind, procedure was simple. I could already see the next day! I was expected to be around 20/40 which I was happy with but after full healing I ended up with 20/20! I believe these results were due to all the testing they did to make sure I was a good candidate. Plus the skill of the surgeon along with having the best laser technology. I am beyond happy with my results that have changed my life in such a positive way! It's so worth the cost!
