I was supposed to be scheduled for a surgery and was told someone would call me. Forgot about it because of the holidays but called in 04/26 and was told someone would call me right away.

Left message via website 2 weeks ago requesting a copy of my RX so I could get updated glasses since I wasn't getting a call back on getting surgery scheduled. And again nothing from CEC.

If you are Looking for great care for your eyes in Redding there are a few good choices, but in my…read morehumble opinion, Riverside Eyecare is the best. They are located in a beautiful building on the banks of the Sacramento River adjacent to Cypress Ave in Redding. The facility is large, clean, modern, and well laid out. On the bottom floor are the physicians, Ophthalmologists, Dr Michael Sumsion and Doctor Sean Sumsion. Not only are both of these guys great physicians, their bedside manner and interaction with patients and family is fantastic. Very down to earth, patient, and happy to explain things. I have seen both of these docs, and I would put them as some of the best. For reference I see physicians at both UCSF and Stanford and this practice is at that caliber of professionalism and competence. Upstairs is the Optometrist, Dr. Jordan Evans. He is truly one of the nicest people I have ever met. He is so kind and patient. I was trying to switch from just eyeglasses to Contact Lenses and my experience with him and his awesome staff was phenomenal. They were not in a hurry to move me through, they took the time to educate me, ensure that everything fit right, on multiple appointments. The bedside manner, caring, and interaction are all outstanding in my humble opinion. I am definitely a fan!

Dr. Del Pero is the best eye surgeon I have ever met. He is very thorough, professional, and highly…read moreskilled. I have read some of the reviews which really surprise me. Either people are not informed, or are not responsible for themselves. People also need to understand the reality of working in Medical Care. The number of "no show" appointments, failure to see their primary providers, not having stuff done which should have been done prior to coming in for an appointment, showing up late, etc. I have been to Dr. Del Pero's office several times either for myself or family members. I have used his services for surgery four times, and non-surgical eye trauma with referral to a retinal specialist once, and 3 times for corneal injuries. I have never seen, experienced, or have heard any negativity of him or his staff. As he is an ophthalmologist, a surgeon, he deals with serious eye issues. He is not an optometrist. People need to be aware what their insurance coverages they have before they see a doctor. This is really not his job, but they will give approximate estimates. It is ironic people go in and expect everything to be "Covered". It is a also sad to think everything is an emergency. If an eye issue is something that comes on slowly, its more of an age related issue, such as Cataracts. Glaucoma, Retinopathy, etc. In most cases not an emergency. This being said, you may not get in immediately. I got hit in the eye with a foreign object. I lost part of my vision, I wanted to keep my vision, and I would not have picked any other surgeon then Dr. Del Pero. He saved my eye! People need to realize the caliber of what type of a physician he is. He is one of the highest rated eye surgeons in America. He was a pioneer and insturmental in LASIK surgery and more. He is not going to small talk with you, he is going to tell you what you need to know, what the problem is, and what needs to be done. My first visits with him were for my father in the 1990's. Age related cataracts. I researched, I called the insurance companies, I did my research. You just don't go in to get a cataract taken care of. You need to see your primary, get a referral, get an appointment, get an exam, get a diagnosis, get labs, EKG, pre operative prescriptions, get scheduled, pick up post operative prescriptions, follow your pre op orders, go to surgery, do your post op care, do a follow up, and then follow up again. As busy as he is, I have always been able to get an appointment based on the acuity of the issue. I hope anyone reading this understands the reality of medical care and perhaps some of the banter on this review from other people can be "Sour grapes". Thank you Dr. Del Pero and staff. My family and I appreciate you!
