DO NOT GO HERE! I went in for glasses hoping that the See Center could hopefully help me get a…read moreprescription that actually worked for me. I spent two hours going through tests that at the time felt off but since they were taking the time I assumed everything was okay. They had the worst selection of glasses and I really wanted to go with them because I wanted to support the business. WISH I HADN'T. They charged me over $300 for my office visit and they got my prescription 100% WRONG. I now have a pair of $600 glasses that are completely useless. They then forgot to schedule my appointment for a fitting in their system which they had confirmed on the phone with me and then treated me AWFUL when I went in for the fitting. How can families afford an office visit like this and not even get an accurate prescription?! I was so mad with how I was treated and what they gave me that I went to Vision Works in the mall for a second opinion. The front desk staff at Vision Works were beyond amazing, the optometrist listened to me and within twenty minutes had my prescription perfect. Vision Works only charged me $95 dollars.

I had an eye exam with Dr. Ben Seljestad (who is amazing) and after I received a new prescription I…read morethought I would check out the eyeglasses available at The See Center. Frannie assisted with the selection and she was very nice. She provided me with a register receipt for the glasses and told me that I would receive a detailed receipt when I picked the glasses up, however I did not receive a detailed receipt - not at the time of pick-up, not mailed or emailed. When I received the text that I needed to call and make an appointment for pick-up, I did just that and I was told to just come by, that I didn't need an appointment. I asked if I would get a fitting if I just dropped by and I was told that I would. I live in south Gardnerville, traveling to north Carson City, so I wanted to be sure the 40 minute trip wasn't a bust. I called ahead the day I was going to pick up my glasses and was told again to just come by and I was given the time they go to lunch so I wouldn't come by while they were at lunch. When I arrived, there was another gentleman picking up his glasses. When he got his he commented that "they just hand them to you and say have a nice day". I didn't fully understand what he was saying until it was my turn. The very nice employee at the front desk brought out my eyeglasses and I asked if someone needs to check them on me to be sure everything is right - how the progressive lens lines up - if the nose guards fit correctly for long wear, etc. She said it wasn't necessary. The glasses I selected are frameless (as in NO FRAME - just the side arms) with a progressive lens and they cost more than $900. I received a 30% discount because I am a patient of Dr. Seljestad, which sounds wonderful, but the glasses still cost over $600. The problem I have is that I didn't get a detailed receipt or a fitting or the courtesy of a follow-up call to see how the glasses are working out. I'm definitely going back to Costco the next time I need eyeglasses - they have affordable pricing and they include excellent customer service with your purchase.

The office is excellently organized, and the staff is both attentive and highly qualified. Everything runs smoothly, everyone knows exactly what to do, and the entire operation is truly professional. Dr. Raymond Ruckman is absolutely amazing. He is highly knowledgeable, checked everything thoroughly, and took his time explaining the results. Even though I only came in for a routine prescription, Dr. Ruckman dedicated a significant amount of time to my care and caught an underlying issue that needed addressing. His assistants were also outstanding and incredibly supportive throughout the process. As a bonus, their frame selection is fantastic--they carry unique styles I couldn't find elsewhere (though, to be fair, Deputy Optic has a great selection too). I highly recommend him if you care about your eye health--you will be in the best hands here! A big thank you to the doctor and the entire staff!

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.

I've seen many optometrists over the years, but none compare to his energy, patience, expertise, and thoroughness. Dr. Seljestad took extra time to perform a very comprehensive exam and explained everything clearly and in detail. At no point did I feel rushed--his full attention was on me and my concerns. That level of focus and care is rare and deeply appreciated. It's also clear that he genuinely loves what he does. In observing his interactions with other patients and staff, his professionalism and compassion consistently stand out. His reception and assistant team is exceptional as well. Communication was excellent throughout, including prompt and thoughtful follow-up, as well as a referral to a neuro-ophthalmologist to ensure I received the specialized care I needed. I highly recommend Dr. Seljestad and Advanced Sierra Eyecare
