BUT the "glaucoma eval" was 45 mins. late and was a joke -- basically just an unneeded vision check. Then the consult was 2 hours late and the surgeon decided he didn't want to the procedure we were there for that day. We ended up staying in a hotel overnight after he tried to talk us into something else entirely. The procedure worked, as our primary eye doctor was sure it would, but we were completely underwhelmed by the surgeon's "info" and recommendations and the prescription for the follow-up eye drops was never even sent to the pharmacy! All told, this office cost us 4 hours of waste time, $150 for a hotel, and a lot of confidence. We will NEVER go there again.

That's bad enough but then they tried to tell me my eyes had problems that I needed to think about! none of these problems were brought to my attention during or after the first consult. one or two different doctors lied to me, sold me drops, and charged Medicare for nothing. I scheduled time off work, drove two hrs one way twice and lol for nothing. I'll take my business elsewhere.

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.

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!

The entire staff and physicians were extremely professional to work with. Malinda was very informative throughout the entire process. Everything was thoroughly explained to me. Dr. Claypool was fantastic with my preop and postop visits--very informative! Dr. Sturbaum also saw me preoperatively and performed the procedure perfectly. I know there are other laser treatment centers that might be a little cheaper, but seriously, it's your eyes! I work in the medical profession and know when someone goes above and beyond what is expected, and everyone at Empire Eye does exactly that! I absolutely recommend them without hesitation!

From calling for information, later to schedule an appointment, to exams, I was treated well by everyone throughout the process. Everything was explained as we went through all processes, questions I raised were explained and answered to my satisfaction. I chose frames with assistance, run through the costs on my plan and the cost on lenses only, given options for my new glasses, helped to order lenses for my seldom used frame I had from 12 plus years ago, so I could have a reasonably priced pair for backup. All in all a very good experience.

His office even took it a step farther and followed up with me the following week to review lab results and referrals. Providence truly exceeded my expectations and made it feel so personal. Can not say enough good things about this team.
