He does stay extremely busy, so there can be a bit of a wait at times, but that seems to be because he is providing quality care to all of his patients.

The office staff is very good, friendly and professional as is Dr. Webster, the optometrist. Overall, Eye Associates provides a quality experience. Only issue that we had is that at times, because of the way the developer built the office complex, parking can be limited.

He tried for force me to get cataract surgery when the problem was I have really bad floaters. The surgery would do nothing because I can not see through the floaters.

I woke up with many floaters in my eye, and since a previous ophthalmologist had warned me to go to…read morethe emergency room immediately if that happened, I did so. Not having an ophthalmologist on staff at the hospital, they referred me to a local doctor who examined my eye, confirming that I was suffering from a retinal detachment, and who set up an immediate appointment for me with Dr. Simpson. Dr. Simpson examined me, confirming the retinal detachment, and performed surgery the same day. Following the surgery, I developed an extensive cataract in that eye, which I have been told by both Dr. Simpson and the doctor I see at the VA that it is not an uncommon occurrence. After sufficient healing had taken place, The VA doctor removed the cataract, after which I discovered the vision in the eye was occluded. Both my VA doctor and Dr. Simpson examined me and concurred that I had suffered another retinal detachment in the same eye. Dr. Simpson again operated on me to correct the condition. Unfortunately, through no fault of Dr. Simpson, my vision is less than 100 % in the affected eye, due to scar tissue forming on the cornea as a result of the repeated, but necessary, surgeries. However, I'm happy that I'm not blind! Having had many, many visits to his office throughout my ordeal, I've found his staff to be professional, friendly, and courteous. Although Dr. Simpson is 'a man of few words,' in my opinion, I have found him knowledgeable and caring, and always willing to answer my questions, and the surgical staff with whom he works at the hospital have told me he is one of the best at what he does, which I have no reason to doubt. I would go to him again if I needed the type of care that he specializes in.

I went in looking for options in the latter and was impressed with both the selection of frames and the customer service from the young optician who helped me. The opitical sales space is open and well lit with windows all around which helps when evaluating the color of frames. The array of options is greater than one initially thinks given frames are organized in groupings that are spread out in the store. Choices were easy to navigate because the optician knew not only the brands they carried to easily zero in on what might work for me, not just for style but for quality given I have been using higher end brands for several years, but also for frame parameters needed given I the "high minus" correction I have, in particular in one eye. They carry a well curated selection in a wide range of price points including a couple of top end independent lines not found many other places in the Treasure Valley, like Orgreen Optics, and also a very good selection of more affordable but still considered premium quality independent brands like SALT. I didn't find frames that worked for me this time but it is a place I recommend it just as I found this business because a friend whose husband had a great experience having his glasses made here recommended it to me. ACCESSIBILITY: ADA parking in front of the building. Completely accessible inside.

Cons - They're automated text messages need some work, because I got an urgent appointment reminder over a month before my appointment, and then later, after I picked up my new eyewear I got a message that it was ready to come and pick up.

Said no thank you as my former optometrist always does it and there are no problems. When Dr. Nielson saw I had a floater she sent me back to the technician for a retinal screening.

To top everything off, when I picked up glasses the left eye correction was so bad I could not focus on anything. Was told to wear them continuously starting the next day for a week. I did that and it helped somewhat, but could not read through lower correction. I did not go back to have the lenses checked as I did not have that much invested. Year-old glasses are just fine.

Add in skilled opticial specialists, thanks to both Amy and Wylie, and their knowledge in size, style and fit, this is as easy as eyeglass shopping gets once you are in the door. (I'll come back to that.) SELECTION & SERVICE: My husband has been on the hunt for an additional pair of sunglasses and he found Ray Bans here that were just what he had in mind but wanted them in polarized lenses. Amy ordered them and they were in within two weeks time. I knew what OP frames I was looking for and while they had them in store, not in the smaller sizes I needed and she ordered those as well, in addition to a couple of others I wanted to consider. Wylie was particularly helpful in offering expert feedback on how the frames fit once the ordered items arrived. It is early days; I haven't had the lenses made yet but I anticipate a great outcome on those as well. Service plays the key role on why we went in to begin with when I called to ask whether they carried Oliver People's frames and I was able to talk to someone who could answer my questions. That is increasingly rare these days so kudos to them for making it easy. PRICE POINTS & OPTIONS: They offer 50% off each additional pair of eyeglass frames when you buy one so I'm buying at least two pair, maybe a third, Add in the pair my husband purchased, that is three or maybe four pair of eyeglasses here because not only their selection is good but their service is great. (Even if the parking lot made it difficult for me to get in the door. I'll come back to that.) If you're on a tight budget, ask the optical specialists about some special low cost frames, they have them in a couple of tucked away cases, that with prescription lenses added can come in at maybe as little as under $150 total. ACCESSIBILITY: Nicely accessible interior; all on one floor, ample room for path of travel for buyers who might use wheelchairs to look at the displays. Accessible seating at fitting tables. My husband reports the loo is accessible too. The rub is the parking lot in this relatively newly built (sometime in 2000s) mostly medical or medical adjacent service provider buildings strip complex is neither ADA (law) nor Idaho Building Code compliant (Accessibility Chapter 11) for parking. For this building strip there is only one, non van accessible, spot at the far end of the strip. Given that is the only curb ramp location, if you are unable to step up over a curb, it will between difficult to impossible to get in the door. MY SOAP BOX: I said I'd come back to this; Accessibility law and code for parking responsibility of whomever owns the parking lot but 36 years after the laws and codes were established (1990) it is mind boggling this is wrong and it prevents disabled people from equal access to this good business. (Yep, I have a dog in this hunt since I have had multiple sclerosis since college days.) The owners might think of that and put some pressure on the lot owner given we with disabilities spend money too.
