We have been searching for a better optometrist and we are so happy to have found Multnomah Vision. First, And most importantly, the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. This is the first time I have felt the staff listened to my glasses need and had a true understanding for how to fit a pair of glasses. The glasses themselves, they had a great selection, independent frame designers and the shop was very helpful in getting in pairs that they thought would fit my specific needs. The staff did not rush us and then fact emailed us after I got my pair of glasses making sure they really were the right ones and made adjustments so I felt great wearing my new glasses. Plus as an added bonus they give you a chocolate with your new pair of glasses. read more

As someone who wears glasses I have been hunting for a glasses store like Multnomah Vision Clinic for a few years. They not only take my insurance (VSP) but also have a decent and rotating set of stylish glasses. Dropping by is usually fine to browse, however it is best to make an appointment to for placing an order and getting fitted. read more

What a fantastic experience. I genuinely enjoyed everyone who I worked with. They are fun, caring, and professional.

Staff are super nice and equipment is state of the art here. So happy we found this place!

Went there to pick up some contacts and were super friendly and nice, definitely would recommend!

I'm a retired M.D., and somewhat picky on who is going to be treating me. I absolutely love this clinic, particularly the fearless leader, Jade Himmelsbach, O.D. She is fun, shares happiness, yet is quite thorough, weighing eye health and lens options with patient's own feelings on choices. I've bought glasses through this clinic, too, and found them to be of excellent quality. Most importantly, I've never felt pushed to some decision just to bring money to the clinic. I hope to continue my care there for many years. read more

They have great friendly service and glasses selections. Clean and professional. Highly recommended.

Superb! Friendly and easy to work with (they're actually hilarious but they take their jobs seriously and do them well). I had a full exam and got fitted with new glasses; everything was straightforward and easy. I especially appreciated how Dr. Himmelsbach fine-tuned my prescription and was very transparent about what changes were necessary and which ones were elective. They worked seamlessly with my insurance (which is good because my eyes are unbelievably bad). I started going here for convenience because I live in the area, but if I move away I think I'll keep coming back. read more

It was my first trip to Multnomah Village. Yes, I've lived in Portland since 1991 and i'd never been! So when the wife and I were perusing down the sidewalk I got a wacky idea to inquire of the Multnomah Vision Clinic if they might repair my broken glasses. Some 4 months ago one of the nose pads broke completely off and I'd been wearing them ever since in that condition. The friendly receptionist took my glasses and told me it would be 10 minutes if indeed they had the parts to make the repair. I was expecting to pay of course, that's the way it goes. We sat in the waiting room, making friendly conversation with the kind woman and had a great visit. Then when she returned my glasses with the new nose pads and very clean lenses I took out my wallet and she responded "It's free. It's how we do things around here." I haven't made my appointment yet. But I assure you when it's time I will definitely call Multnomah Vision Clinic my new optometrist. They made me a new customer with their kindness and generosity. read more

In an age where doctor appointments feel like they are getting shorter and shorter, Dr. Beattie is a refreshing change. I have never had such a thorough eye appointment before and highly recommend this office! Multnomah Vision Clinic is nicely located in the center of Multnomah Village and coincidentally close to home. Sienna at the front desk was very sweet. Dr. Beattie did various tests on my eyes and at each step explained what he was checking for besides updating my prescription. I went from dreading eye checks ups to actually not minding it :). Even if we move away I'll definitely be heading back in two years for my next check up here. read more

Unfortunately Dr Beattie has retired . Excellent Dr and staff . Dr. Breedan is no longer practicing he was also a very good Dr. I had many issues with the new staff and office manager. Had a miss fit with a pair of glasses I bought from them that literally would fall off my nose when I looked down. I went back and tried to get a different frame and was asked to work with them. I did and went back a minimum of 4 times. They finally told me I had gone over the 15 days from when I picked them up to exchange for a new frame. I was never informed of that time line while "working" with them. I was then told they could add a different type of nose grip. That would have looked ridiculous being the frame style. I told them I had worked with them as asked and now wanted my money back, $700.00, or a new frame at no cost to me. I was angry and frustrated with the office manager and I know there was no love loss for me. After the staff talked to the new owners they offered another frame style. I tried to find one that would fit the new lenses as I really wasn't trying to screw them over. This entire process took about 4 months. I will never go back, a relief to them I am sure and would not recommend this vision clinic as I did when Dr Beattie owned it. read more

First time visiting and I loved it! A younger staff which made me feel more comfortable. They were all very kind. read more

We've gone here since Dr. Beattie was here, and always liked it, but it's just gotten better over the years. The office staff are amazing and very responsive. They walked me through the rebate process for contact lenses with great patience, and when my daughter got contact lenses for the first time a few years ago, they worked with her for HOURS, over several visits. She didn't need to make an appointment, she'd just drop in and they'd give her tips and let her practice there. They are endlessly patient with my kids as they try on every single pair of glasses before they make up their minds. And we all love Dr. Jade. read more

I have been going to Multnomah Vision Clinic for years. Dr. Beattie was my optometrist since the beginning, and I loved him and his amazing attention to detail and commitment to "get it right," rather than just "get it good enough." My eyes proved to be quite the challenge in finding the right contacts, but he never gave up and made sure I got the optimal vision he could possibly provide, even if it took a little longer than most of his patients. Fast forward to today,and there's a new optometrist. Dr. Beattie retired, and I was a little nervous to give his replacement, Dr. Breeden, a go at my eyes. Well, boy am I ever glad that I did! Dr. Breeden is just as attentive to my needs and actually listened and understood my concerns/observations. He took time to explain everything I had questions on, and provided a very comfortable eye exam. I'm going to miss Dr. Beattie, but they couldn't have picked a better replacement with Dr. Breeden. The staff is also always as accommodating as they can be, and super helpful (ordering me free trial contacts so that they would be fresh for my exam, and then ordering them again when I accidentally destroyed my first trial pair only a few days before the exam), they make sure to offer every deal possible and maximize my insurance benefits, and are always willing to take the extra time when I have questions. read more

Absolutely phenomenal service - from reception to exam by MD. I was seen emergently during a time when I suspect routine visits were limited due to the pandemic. Excellent customer service. Excellent care. Thorough teaching of my condition. I am so grateful. read more

I am very happy with my experience with Multnomah Vision Clinic. Dr. Jade and the staff are very professional and attentive. They are also super nice! I wholeheartedly recommend them! read more

So, I was like "I need to visit and conquer every business in the village"! Ha! Thought I'd never need to come to Multnomah Vision Clinic! Or rather, I hoped I'd never visit it! I hate going to eye doctors. I would rather get a shot in my mouth than have an eye exam! I have the most sensitive eyes, and mentally it stresses me out big time to have them examined! I am so thankful for eye specialists! So thankful that they know what they're doing and can help me when I need them! Dr Beattie and his staff are super friendly, and caring, and available to help! I had two instances in the last month where I needed to be seen with short notice. Really great people. I even got a phone call and letter each time to check and see how I was doing! If you have any issues with your eyes Dr Beattie and his staff will get your eyes feeling like amazeballs! read more

This is a business that observes the platinum standard. They treat you even better then you might expect to be treated. Each person I interacted with was thoughtful, kind and on point. Dr Breeden brings his expertise to get you the answer and prescription that you need! I always tell my son, eyes are precious. I trust my precious eyes under Dr. Breeden's care, as his knowledge is backed by common sense and a truly caring nature. Whether your having eye pain or need a new prescription, make an appointment to see well once again! read more

Dr. Breedan is thorough, thoughtful and awfully nice. Dr. Beattie is a hard act to follow but Dr. Breedan does a great job. Thank you!

First time visit to Multnomah Vision Clinic. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt welcome. Dr. Breeden made me feel relaxed and the exam was fast. The Multnomah Vision Clinic also has a great eyeglass selection. read more

This is a local business with an all female staff. All very kind, professional, and helpful. Services and equipment is state of the art. Frame choices are not just the ordinary stuff. My glasses are perfect. If I could award six stars I would. read more

Multnomah Vision Clinic feels old school in all the right ways -- charming storefront wedged into a row of shops that include a candy shop and a bookstore, in a neighborhood that feels like Mayberry ... street parking right in front of the front door ... I was warmly greeted by staff ... kindly doctor has fancy eye-testing machines, etc. Feels like the 1940's in a way I like. But it's updated and modern in all the right ways, too -- sophisticated equipment and testing, a great selection of stylish frames from several well known brands, easy insurance billing and payment, etc. Convenience and efficiency sound boring, but in today's busy world, it's good to walk in, get the full attention of doctor and staff, and get going back to work. Dr. Beattie took the time to explain everything thoroughly. And his staff are all very friendly, professional and helpful. Thumbs up. read more

The best! I chose this business because of its proximity to my home. I got lucky! They are currently taking precautions for Covid and their staff is wonderful. One thing I've disliked about other eye clinics is the hard sell at the end of the eye exam. That hasn't happened here during the two annual eye exams I've had. What a great business to have in The Village. read more

I have been going to Multnomah Vision for a number of years and have always received good service. This continues with the new owner, Dr. Jade. I really liked her energy and the service from her staff. They are using Covid protocols and are friendly and responsive. The decor changes make the clinic seem more spacious as well. I returned home and told my wife she needs to make an appointment there too asap. read more

I've been going to Multnomah Vision Clinic for many many years. Dr. Breeden and I just had a visit and I can honestly say this is the absolute BEST vision clinic in Oregon that I have EVER been to. They care about their customers, offer excellent and professional service and my glasses are always perfectly and timely completed. I can't say enough great things about them and am so glad to now work with Dr. Breeden in maintaining my healthy eyes. Thank you!! read more

Dr. Breedan is great, very thoughtful and thorough in his exams. I too am a former patient of Dr. Beattie. The new retail eyewear staff was very disappointing to work with. My exam was scheduled late in the day and I was ready to purchase eyeglasses but the staff needed to close up shop right at 5pm. This means I will need to shop elsewhere for my glasses or take more time off work if I want to order through this shop. No thank you! I will be happy to take my business elsewhere. The previous retail eyewear staff was more focussed on customer service. read more

I had another great eye exam and the staff was helpful in maximizing my insurance. Great selection in frames - not too expensive. Helped me save money on contact lenses too. read more

They are all so nice! Super relaxed, very clean and great location. They were very good about showing me frames within my insurance range and they were all super cute! I'll definitely go back as needed. read more

Very thorough eye exam. The Dr is careful to explain what he is doing and why. I have a couple of eye health issues we are monitoring. I visit every year and feel confident in the care. He sends his report to my Dr. The office staff is friendly and professional. They understand all the mysteries of insurance billing and Medicare too! My appts are always on time and I never need to wait. My husband and I are so pleased with the care read more

Dr. Beattie is so great. If you've ever felt hurried or patronized by your optometrist, come here. Dr. Beattie is extremely thorough in his explanations and happy to answer any questions. The experience felt more like simply having a discussion about my eyes and eye health with an immensely qualified expert than going to the doctor. Definitely recommend! read more

I have never had a more thorough eye exam before, and I am very picky about my eye care. The doctor was friendly and professional. He told me things about my eyes that I had never heard from any other eye doctor. The eye exam was easy, and I have complete confidence that this is going to be my clearest prescription yet! I highly recommend this clinic for anyone who is concerned with having perfect vision. read more

Needed gas permeable contacts in time to wear comfortably for my son's wedding. The doctor fit me in almost immediately. Had the contact within a week. Worked out perfectly. Staff were very friendly & helpful. read more

I recently moved to Multnomah Village (love it!), and upon a friend's recommendation I established care at this excellent full-service optometry clinic. Dr. Beatty was extremely thorough, polite, communicative, and meticulous in his exam. He is the consummate professional. His team was warm, friendly, and helpful. They know their stuff. When I returned for my glasses, they spent extra time making sure that everything was just right, and my glasses have been working for me perfectly. I have already referred both family and friends to this clinic, and wouldn't hesitate to send my own patients here as well. Highly recommended!! David J Tovey M.D. read more

Best experience I've ever had at an eye exam! From the friendly service when you walk in the door, to the informative and relaxed exam from Dr. Breeden; this place knows how to treat patients! read more

I always enjoy my visits to Multnomah Vision. These folks are thorough, personable and educational. It is an easy walk from my home and the selection of glasses is great. The staff offers little extras like quick glasses adjustments and they are helpful and honest about costs and choices. I'll be back! read more

Dr. Breeden has such attention to detail & really listened to my needs. He was very patient with me and educated me on new technology. I also enjoy speaking to the staff that have been there a very long time! Thank you for making me feel so comfortable! read more

Sadly, my husband and I had a negative experience here. My husband ordered contacts through the clinic, and was told they were ready to pick up. I went in to get them for him and they didn't have them there-just a sample pair. The front desk receptionist said she would order them and they'd be ready to pick up in two days. Well, two weeks roll by, I call, and they tell me they aren't in yet. Another two weeks roll by and I call and ask about the contacts and they say, "sorry I'm busy, can I call you back?" So I end up going in and they tell me the contacts were never ordered. The lady helping me this time was un-apologetic, and rolled her eyes at me, and acted like it wasn't their fault. She finally said they would order them. I got a call they were in the other day. I go in today to pick them up and the front desk receptionist is on the phone and doesn't even acknowledge me for a minute, then finally says, "can you hold for a few minutes?" So I wait about 5 minutes and she's still on the phone. Finally, another lady comes to help me(the one that ordered the contacts) and she grabs them from the back for me. I mention to her that I've been waiting awhile and she is again un-apologetic and rolls her eyes at me. I tell her it's not good customer service to make a patient wait while you are on the phone. I have worked in a medical office and the patient comes first before the phone-you always place the person on hold and help the person right in front of you. Again, she rolls her eyes and huffs and puffs back with no apology. Definitely not going back there. There is a lack of customer service skills and organization. The staff there is not friendly, and one receptionist in particular likes to roll her eyes and is extremely snarky over the phone and in person. read more

I'm really disappointed by the level of customer service. It took over a month and a half to have my new rx lenses made. The lab made a mistake and they weren't the right size, so they sent them back to lab to be fixed and then the lab lost my lenses. Meanwhile I was never contacted by the office on either of the above, I had to call them. Finally a month and a half later they got me my new lenses and charged me. I gave them an opportunity to make the situation right by not charging me, but was told they would see if it was possible. And guess what? They never called me back. While I realize the mistake was made by the lab and not the office, they should have done something to provide a good customer experience. Dissapointing! read more

This place is really great. I'm from out of town and my dad sent me up there to get his glasses fixed. They put a new screw in. within five minutes I was out. No charge. Thanks a lot I really appreciated that. read more

I was Dr. Breeden's patient from his old clinic and followed him to Multnomah Vision Clinic. My first exam there was with Dr. Beattie, and it was fine. But I called Multnomah Vision Clinic on December 27th to ask them to expedite an order of my contacts because I'm leaving the country for work on January 5th. I should have ordered earlier, but I was distracted by a sudden, tragic death in my family. All the receptionist could say is that they couldn't guarantee I would get them in time. I suggested that they call the contact company and ask them to expedite shipment, for which I would pay the extra costs, but the receptionists (one consulted with another one) refused. They said they didn't do that. The same day, I went back to Dr. Breeden's old clinic (Visionworks in Beaverton) and asked them to help me. Even though I was no longer a patient there, they called the contact company, I paid for expedited shipping and the contacts arrived at my door the next day. It's clear that the Multnomah Vision Clinic doesn't need or care about me as a patient. I will never be going back there. read more
