So far so good! With the COVID upheaval and the exodus of…read morephysicians throwing in the towel, it took a LOOOOONNNNNGGGGG time to land an appointment here to get setup with ophthalmologist (Dr. McChesney) to monitor my eye(s) from old surgery and oncoming glaucoma. At this time she is on my Pacific Source network. Assistant Megan (sp?) was thorough and proficient. Dr. McChesney pleasant and professional. The front office staff was professional and courteous. Waiting room was fabulous, plenty of seating. I hope billing goes smoothly :) Location is in the professional building that is part of Columbia Hospital, go in the main entrance, turn right and go upstairs. Definitely recommend!

He did a thorough eye exam and answered all my questions. Everyone, from the front desk receptionist to the super nice tech to the doctor were friendly, patient, knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely go back for my yearly eye exam and to purchase new glasses. I highly recommend Coastal Eye Care if you need a good Optometrist.

Dr. Garhofer runs a tidy little shop here. This tiny optometrist is inside Fred Meyer, park on the…read morehighway side for quickest access. The Dr has crammed an amazing array of diagnostic equipment into a itty bitty exam room. But it works. I can testify Dr. Garhofer is knowledgeable and professional. He asks about details and responds to questions, even stupid ones. Since this is one of the few corporate optometrists accepted by eye care plans, expect a long wait for an appt. Like months. I called in August to get a November appt (earliest). I only get contacts. Usually I am wary of buying my lenses thru the office, but I researched it and their prices for my lenses were actually cheaper than thru 1800CONTACTS. Do your own research regarding glasses. Billing seemed accurate. They did charge a hefty 'fit and follow up' fee, typically not covered by insurance, and they pretty much fail on the follow up part, I'm not entirely sure my recent lenses are quite right. The front office staff didnt seem interested in being friendly. They seemed eager to have me out the door and no desire for the follow up part. So, lose a star. Now I'm on Medicare Advantage, not sure if I'll be back now :(

Eye clinic that spends it's time between here on the coast and Portland. Met with Dr. Stoumbos and…read moreher clinician Nancy. First time there, so filled out the paperwork, and didn't have to wait too long at all. They share what seems to be an office area with cardiologists, so I was not only the youngest lad there, I got to meet some really cool seniors who were just funny as hell. One man was a stand up comic in his previous life and had so many jokes for me that it was like I was at a club. I do a lot of work with the senior population, so it is always an honour to get opportunities to socialize with them. The spirit of my grandmother was there expressed via the concern of these sweet ladies over the fact that I was wearing shorts on a stormy day. Nancy was awesome. Very personable. direct, and explained everything thoroughly. Gold star for understanding my obtuse humour. Great chair side manner. Dr. Stoumbos was very friendly, mild mannered, and knowledgeable. She answered all of my questions with ease. I am not the typical "just sit there" patient, so I ask about how things work and why. I am very proactive medically, as I have to be my own advocate, and don't trust many "white coats". Dr. Stoumbos was very thorough and clear. Sadly, my vision got worse (the nuns said I'd go blind--eeek), but at my age, dropping from 20/10 vision in both eyes to 20/15 is a fact of life I will accept. As long as I can be a show off on the eye charts for a few more decades, I'll be cool. (wink).

I brought my daughter there and Dr. Scruggs did a medical procedure without informing her or asking…read morefor authorization for this. When we received a bill I questioned it with the receptionist/biller and tried to tell her that in the future that it might be a good practice to let a patient know when Dr. Scruggs is about to perform a medical procedure not covered by the exam fee and that it would cost extra. She became argumentative and questioned why I felt this way instead of acknowledging my frustration and allowing me to share a customer's perspective. Immediately after this, I let the receptionist know that I was ready to pay for the charge and because she was upset that I had a concern she cut me off and hung up on me. I called back and there was no answer. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!! I understand that she didn't agree with my opinion but rather than indicating she would communicate this customer feedback to the Doctor, she instead took it personally and decided to disrespect me as a patient by hanging up on me. I was going to have my other daughter go there for an exam but this poor treatment convinced me to go elsewhere. I NEVER do Yelp reviews but this was so upsetting, I decided to.
