I've never had a worse experience at an eye doctor's office in 34 years of exams. I'm convinced…read moretheir positive Google reviews are largely self-generated. I was charged $80 extra for a contact lens fitting when I asked to forego ordering lenses through them and receive my prescription directly. A fitting is when the doctor helps you try on your lenses. When I contested the charge, the office claimed that measuring my eyes for lenses was a fitting. No, that's an exam, that's why it's covered by insurance. When I had called the office earlier for an estimate, they said that if I didn't need a fitting of lenses ordered through them, then I would only pay exams. So, fraud. Most eye docs see that my pupils are large and go light on the dilation drops. Here, they don't observe or care. Even with sunglasses, vision was too fuzzy to work on a screen or outside for a couple hours after--and I needed to work--and driving home an hour later was sketchy. Customer service was lacking from almost everybody. The eye doctor didn't seem to care. Most of the time was with techs who didn't provide explanations. The office had noted my birth date wrong, so I was in their system wrong, and no one told me I should bring my prescription. It would have been cheaper to go with my regular doc, even WITHOUT insurance, and I would have more confidence that my prescription was 100% accurate.

The staff is friendly, but my feeling is this business does not exist to serve its patients, but rather to generate cash.

When it came time to check out I was actually billed $228, when I mentioned I was quoted something much different over the phone, I was told there was nothing they could do and that they don't know who would have said that (which is weird to me considering how small the clinic is). They either need to do a better job coaching their front office staff, or they need to honor what customer has been told to avoid other unfortunate discrepancies resulting in lost clients.

I had surgery a couple weeks ago with a different surgeon and was having major pain everytime I blinked it felt like sand was in my eye. I had to bring my two little guys, 2yrs & 5yrs old so it was chaotic. The staff gave them both new toys to play with while I was being seen and were so kind. Then I was seen by Dr. Epstein and he was so thorough even tho he wasnt the one who had done my eyelid surgery originally. He did a quick painless procedure with post instruction on how to keep my eyelids healthy and stye free and instantly my eye felt better. I am so grateful for finding this gem! One of the staff members recommended a beautiful park in downtown Ashland and was so wonderful. Great experience. Hope I don't have to go back but recommend everyone using them.

The billing department was dishonest and misleading about billing during scheduling of my appointment, arriving for my appointment and leaving after my appointment--I asked numerous times and they were deceptive. Prior to the appointment, I told the billing department my insurance would not pay for an eye exam, as I know my insurance well, and they assured me the insurance would pay for the exam but not the refraction. Two weeks after the appointment, I received a bill for the entire service. The Siskiyou Eye Center is a perfect example of what is wrong with healthcare--you are a $$$ to them. Avoid this place, especially with so many other great choices in the Rogue Valley, like Artisan Eyeworks in Ashland or Medical Eye Center in Medford--they are professional and honest about services and billing. If you suspect misconduct in billing by your healthcare provider, you may contact the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation 888-877-4894.

All three of the doctors (Dr. Mitchell , Dr. Johnston, and Dr. Hanson) have demonstrated the kind of professionalism, experience, courtesy/respect, compassion, and willingness to listen/answer any questions/concerns that I may have had. The staff at Eyecare Associates can be described as nothing less than exemplary as well. I only wish that I knew, or was able to remember all of their names. Special "Thank You" to : ~Tiffani in Optical for being so personable, helpful and patient with me while helping select glasses and frames. ~Teri (I hope that I got the spelling correct) for her persistence in returning my phone call regarding my insurance. ~ The ladies at the front desk and the other staff members for their help during my visit. I Thank All of You!

MUST READ... A complete waste of time…read more We ordered NEW LENSES and frames. Somehow, one of their fine PROFESSIONALS forgot to order the NEW LENSES. So, we sat in their waiting area for one hour and thirty minutes anticipating getting the NEW LENSES and frames. To find out... OOOOPS, nobody ordered the NEW LENSES. Three to four weeks without glasses, and now we have to wait longer due to some idiot not doing their job right the first time.
