    I've only had a couple of ophthalmologist in my life, and I've been very lucky that they both been…read moregreat. Clearly among them is Dr. Brewer at Valley eyecare and eyewear. Her staff is to be commended as they truly represent the doctors well. Hannah, who assisted with my most recent visit, listened and thought about her responses before she gave them. She explained the different exams that were going to occur and she gave me immediate results, which I appreciated. It turns out I can still see. Dr. Brewer arrived in the room with a burst of energy. She asked about how I was doing, cared about how I was doing, and then we began their exam. Like Hannah, Dr. Brewer told me what was happening. The whole time was patient as I asked silly questions and I came away with the opinion that she really did care. So, I guess you could go to the mall. But I don't think you'd get the quality care you get here.

    Before I made an appointment with Valley Eyecare, I don't remember the last time I'd seen an…read moreoptometrist for a vision examination. I'm guessing that it was 10 years or even more. I do remember the last full evaluation was done at the UC Berkeley Optometry clinic and that it was a long appointment. I've carried vision insurance for years, of which Gayle has used. But for some reason I didn't place this kind of health-related care at the same level as dental or medical. A high school friend, who is also a retired optometrist, convinced me to go, if only to confirm that I didn't have any glaucoma, macular degeneration, or cataract issues. Gayle has used Valley Care and has been very happy with Dr. Brewer. So to push me along, she made that appointment for me. The only "bad" news from the appointment was that my dependence on reading glasses wasn't really enough and that I needed progressives. The good news is that my vision didn't need that much adjustment and my eye health was A-OK. What a relief! The professionals at Valley Eyecare know their business well, and I felt that I was in good hands. That included Dr. Brewer's friendly and efficient manner, and the staff that supported her work. Later on, Gayle and I stopped by to pick up the glasses we picked out, that were largely covered by insurance. The fittings went well, and all I have to do know is get used to the progressives. Maybe I'll add some prescription computer glasses later, to compliment my screen time.

We had never been seen here before, and the person who answered the phone was super helpful and was able to squeeze my husband in at 2:45. We arrived at 2:35 and were seen less than 10 minutes later. We were in and out in under 30 minutes! I was not only very impressed with the front desk staff who helped, but the doctor herself was amazing! She was so friendly, and seemed like she really liked what she does, just a genuinely good doctor. My husband, who is not a doctor person, was actually very very happy with the visit, even thought she had to literally grind a rust ring off of his eyeball, so much that he scheduled an actual eye exam for later in June. I'm sure we'll be back for more metal removal at some point, but it's nice to know there is somewhere that we can go where we're going to get all around good care!

Took 4/5 min to get there? So, once he picks up his glasses, we will not be returning. It's unfortunate since I like keeping my business close to home.

It doesn't matter if you break a big toe, have a knee or hip replacement, fuse a disc, tear a rotator cuff...all injuries impact your whole body at some level, and the whole body system needs to be a part of the big picture when it comes time to rehab that knee, hip, shoulder, back, whatever, that has been throwing your body mechanics off. I've been in and out of PT for 30 years. I could write my own book. I've had the whole range of therapist. Most only focus on that ONE body part that needs rehabilitation, but once in a great while, I find a really great physical therapist and pain management doctor combination that view the patient as a person...someone that they truly want to be as functional as normal as possible. Understand, no physical therapist can make you whole again without you putting in the grunt work. They are your guide...your teacher...to assist you in properly making your body function properly. It is a partnership in your health. The crew at Great Basin gives you the tools and helps to make you well. They know when you need that little push to make your next milestone on your road to recovery, but are also there to help you thru any set backs. They offer a very friendly, open and relaxed environment.

    Absolute Dental is great and Dr.Kallas took amazing care of me in a dire situation…read more After having a dentist in town "fix" bad work that a different dentist did in town I developed a pretty bad infection and needed a root canal ASAP. After 2 days of pain and an ER visit to get anti-biotics, I went back to see the dentist that fixed the previous one's bad filling on my tooth. He didn't really seem to take me serious about the pain that I was in and explained if it was bad I would be more swollen and gestured with his hand out in front of his face *like this*. I don't usually swell as bad as other people though so I guess he just didn't take me that serious when I said it's a dire situation and the infection is really bad. I've had a lot of serious injuries in my life and this was definitely one of the most long and painful situations I've ever been in. He mentioned the root canal and crown would most likely cost me around $3500. He sent me out of his office with only a referral for a CONSULTATION with another dental office A WEEK OUT!!!! This is not acceptable for an emergency like this. Bad infections can do damage and/or kill you without prompt medical attention! I don't want to fill this up with all the other bad things I could mention about these other 2 dentists that I've seen in town. So I found another dentist in town that same day and came upon Absolute Dental. They were very professional and caring towards me and got me in for a pulpotomy the same day! They listened perfectly, took my situation very serious, and then Dr.Kallas got straight to work on my pulpotomy (instant relief!), then finished my root canal the following week on Monday. The entire process was so smooth. I can't imagine what I would have done without them. The entire thing from root canal to crown is only going to cost me in the ball park of around $400 after insurance and i was expecting to pay 3500!!!! Thank you so much Absolute Dental! The previous dental offices in town that I would recommend staying away from starts with an A, and the other one starts with a D.

She is extremely…read morehostile and belligerent when you call to ask questions as to why you continue to receive $1,000 bill when they supposedly submitted the claim to the insurance. I reached out to the insurance company, Hometown Health, regarding this. They decided to call this Minden Absolute office and all three if us were on conference call in order to get to the bottom of why the insurance company was never billed. She was very unprofessional and rude to me and to the insurance representative who was just trying to help. She became defensive and blame shifted, which was not helpful in serving the client. If you want to receive expensive bills that were supposed to be submitted to the insurance company and then be treated in a hostile manner when you try to find out what is happening...then this is the clinic you are looking for. Furthermore, if you want to take time off from work so that you can make it to an appointment only to end up waiting an extra hour in the waiting room and then another 45 minutes in the chair, then this is the perfect place for you. Absolute Dentist lost me as customer and according to the other reviews, I am not alone. There are better more customer-centered dental clinics in Carson Valley that will treat you and your insurance representatives with the respect and kindness that you and they deserve. Save yourself the headache and time, go to a different clinic.
