His exams are thorough and precise. The staff at Stockdale Optometry mirror his kindness. Prices are very competitive. They stand by their products and provide excellent service to ensure patients are happy with their glasses and contacts. He accepts almost all insurances and his prices for cash paying patients are very fair, they have their own lab on site so if you're purchasing single vision lenses they are reletively in expensive AND come with a warranty. His selection of eyewear is extensive, they just remodeled their office and it's beautiful. From inexpensive insurance covered frames to high end, they have something for everyone.

I was treated pretty rudely a few times by the optical manager. Dr. Lindquist is friendly and knowledgeable. I don't like the inconsistency with service provided during my exam. Part of the exam includes dilating your eyes, but the have only done this once for me. It is covered by my insurance. Instead they want me to do this digital read of my eyes that is not covered at all by insurance. I felt rushed last time and had to come in another day to get dilated. I work and had to take time off. Glasses and lenses only come with a one year guarantee. UV and scratch protection are extra. Frames are more expensive here than going to a boutique for the same designer glasses. Upon a recommendation from a coworker I am gonna try Premier Optical in Rosedale where they advertise a two year warranty and cheaper designer frames.

Have been a patient here for quite some time. Admittedly they're the only optometrist I've been to,…read moreso I can't compare them to any other optometrists. I would have continued to get my eye care here but found out today that they are forcing patients to complete a, what use to be "optional eye exam". The reason why it's optional is because it's not covered by most insurances. The cost is $40. They will try to tell you the gloom and doom as to why you need this test. However, I trusted in their ability to detect any abnormalities in my eyes by using the "usual" manner in which they perform their exams. At the beginning of the year it was optional... with aggressive salesmanship... now they won't see you without you paying up for this extra exam. I understand that it's "an extra preventative measure", however that should be the patient's choice to make if they want to pay extra. Looks like I will be taking my business elsewhere.

The offices are conveniently located right on China Grade Loop. What I like about this location, which he shares with North Bakersfield Dental group, is that you can park out in front on the street and just walk right in the front door and you're there. With doctors that have offices in the major medical complexes there is always the hassle of parking, walking down long hallways and taking the stairs or elevators to get where you're going. This is so much more convenient. They share not just the building, but the waiting room with a dentist's office. There is plenty of seating, a flat screen television, and sports memorabilia to entertain yourself with while you wait. There is even free wifi (they have the password posted inside) so you can surf the internet while you wait - and a fountain in the waiting room. My boyfriend has always been happy with his medical care here. On this particular visit, we were here so that he could get the side pieces of his eyeglasses readjusted. They ushered him into the back and had him back out front in under 5 minutes. Best of all, they didn't charge him for the service. It's getting to be about time for me to get my eyes checked again and get a new prescription, and once I confirm that they take my insurance I'll be heading back here myself.

I had PRK surgery to correct my horrible vision last December. I was never a candidate for any…read morelaser correction surgery before because my cornea is too thin. However, Dr. Miller knew I was always interested and when the technology got good enough to make me a candidate I jumped at it. It was pretty expensive but I didn't care. I've had such bad vision my entire life and I hated contacts and glasses. The surgery plus all post treatment was $4800 (after 15% covered by my insurance). Dr. Stainer does all the eye surgery and I felt in very good hands. They answered all my questions and were honest about the expected results. They said I may never have 20/20 vision with my eyes and I wasn't a candidate for a second procedure. So this was my one and only shot. Well now I see 20/15 (better than 20/20) and my eyes are still healing and I should see the final results within 6-12 months so it could get better. My only complaint about both of their offices is the very long wait times. I've waited over an hour once for a 10 minute post-op visit. Expect your appointment to run 30-45 minutes late on average unless you book early in the morning. However the time you spend in the waiting room is worth the dedicated care you receive. I would recommend Dr. Stainer for laser eye surgery any day.
