    Super impressed by this local optical office. With new insurance I made my way to this business in…read moresearch of filling my contact prescription. Not only were they happy to give me what they had in stock (while placing an order to fill the rest that I wanted), but they also gave me a few samples of different lense cleansers to try as well as spare contact cases. The office/showroom was very neat and clean. Not to mention several wall displays of glasses. It was hoppin' place when I arrived. 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.

Some of the equipment did not work and was dusty. Chairs duck taped. Terrible! I did not have the feeling that I could trust the results. The last part of the exam was conducted by Dr. Cushing and was ok I guess, but he worked with the numbers that his assistant evaluated.

Requests for access/retrieval of records/images (Optomap) were not user-friendly (despite techno-skills)...actually the process was a bit convoluted. Based on past reviews (summarized below)...it appears that not much has changed - especially with those critical core values that directly impact the patient and their relationship with the practice....

Despite the decent experience with EnVision's professional folks (likely a 4 star) - and a desire to ensure myself and others be treated in an overall respectful, appreciated way (afterall, patients are the primary reason for their existence) I would be...and am...reluctant to refer...and, therefore, subject others...to the office "atmosphere" described both now and in the past (clearly a -0 star).

    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.

    I got PRK surgery from Panorama Lasik at Boulder Eye Surgeons in Boulder in 2022. The primary…read morereason was to address dry eye issues related to wearing contacts. I know that there is supposed to be temporary dry eye/eye discomfort in the recovery from PRK, but it is now 3+ years later and I have equal or worse eye discomfort than before the surgery. I now do lots of eye drops during the day, eye ointment and humidifier at night, and warm compresses just to be functional but still very uncomfortable. When I got a second correction done 6 months after my first surgery, I found out they replaced the machine they used for my first surgery only a couple weeks after. They really should have told me they were replacing the machine when I scheduled my first surgery. I do not know if it was the old machine, the doctors, or that I had -5.75 vision before getting PRK, but I feel they should have consulted me better prior to the surgery. My vision is good now, but I could not be more unsatisfied with the daily eye discomfort I have. If this is what I knew the result would be ahead of time, I would have just switched to glasses.

    They are a place you can receive various eye services. That's about all I can say about them. They…read moreare a volume-oriented establishment, you will receive adequate & respectful care, but they will not treat you like they know who you are. They do not encourage you to come back yearly to monitor. As a matter of fact, they don't treat anyone like they will be around for long. There is little to no guarantee you will even have the same care provider for more than 1-2 years, except certain doctors. I think that says everything you need to know. You should start here but not expect to stay long.
