Red Bluff Vision Center

My Mom went here to get her contacts after moving to the Red Bluff area. My Mom is a senior on social security and doesn’t have a fortune to work with. This place has charged her $ 340 so far and she STILL doesn’t have her contacts. On top of all that they changed her prescription– and she kept telling them during the tests that one eye was still blurry– but they didn’t listen! Terrible!
They said it would be another $ 70 plus to get her contacts. THIS IS SO MUCH MORE THAN SHE HAS EVER PAID BEFORE. We would not recommend this place to ANYONE. There are lots of options for eye docs; please choose someone else!

«It’s never fun to need a doc while away from home. Especially when it’s eye related. What a comfort to find this clinic and Dr Barriga. Friendly staff, comfortable waiting area and reasonable fees. The best part… Dr Barriga treated me like a regular patient, …»

This is a beautiful facility with very friendly staff and a welcoming environment. My mother and I both had appointments on the same day within half an hour of each other and the doctor spent a fair amount of time with each of us and we still managed to leave together without much waiting. Everything was very well organized and smooth.
Part of my exam included dilation and the «dilation room» they leave you to sit in while your eyes are adjusting was so peaceful and relaxing I nearly fell asleep. What kept me awake was a lovely staff member who offered me a fresh cup of hot coffee (plus refills!) and cookies. I almost felt like I was on a little spa mini break instead of a doctor’s office. Picking out my frames was fun, the girls working in the boutique were very helpful in deciding on a flattering pair of frames without being pushy.
I left feeling very satisfied, taken care of and excited for my new pair of glasses. Only reason I did not give them five stars is that a one hour photo lab on site would have made this place the perfect glasses shopping experience. I’m eager for my new specs and really impatient to have to wait five whole business days to get them!
Highly recommended.

That was the WORST place I have ever gone for an eye exam!!! I saw the ‘doctor’ for maybe 5 minutes. The contacts that I can purchase anywhere for $ 35 were $ 80 dollars in their office. There went the insurance allowance. Then they tried to tell me that I owe $ 35 more because the insurance wouldn’t pay for the ‘evaluation of contacts’. I’m thinking the extra $ 45 they got for the contacts they ordered for me should just about call us even. They are NOT getting another dime out of me, nor a reccomendation!
