Valley Eyecare Center

Everyone at Valley Eyecare Center is amazing! They truly value their customers and want to help them out! Miley at the front desk went above and beyond to accommodate me, get me in as soon as possible, and helped with any and all insurance questions! All of the Doctors I have met with have truly paid attention to my eye care needs. I will happily return to Valley Eyecare again and again because of their exceptional customer service!

Another amazing trip to Valley Eye Care! I had Flex Spending to use and it has been years since I have gotten new frames so I decided to splurge.
The staff was careful to listen to my budget and help me navigate through different choices. Valley Eyecare Center carries a variety of brands and styles to fit any budget. Some the brands they carry include Coach, Juicy Couture, Calvin Klein, Nike, Ray Bans, Original Penguin, Oliver Peoples, Dior, Max Mara, and Kate Spade just to name a few.
Since I was paying cash, the frames specialist worked with me and my budget and made things affordable for me. I was looking to get frames, Rx Lenses, and a pair of sunglasses and she made it happen. She even double checked my insurance to see if we could switch things around (I previously used my coverage for contacts) to make sure I was getting the best deal.
And I forgot to mention they do 50% off a 2^nd set of frames both vision and sunglasses! I got 50% off a pair of Dior sunglasses, how awesome is that?

The facility is nice inside. Good lounge and waiting area. Very clean. Front office staff was friendly and efficient. For my preliminary exams the staff was very friendly, talkative and open about the process. The tests were done with my existing contact lenses in. The doctor was friendly and quick. Overall it was a good experience.
When it came to billing I had a not so pleasant experience. The prices they had quoted me by phone were significantly lower. When I asked about this the front staff just starred at me saying «I don’t know» and repeating the same information over and over. I asked for someone to help fix the issue rather than repeat it. The office manager shouted for me to come back and see her. I explained that I had called to get pricing estimates before I came in but there was about $ 60 – 70 price from what I was to and asked why there was a difference. The manager told me that she nor anyone else would give an estimate over the phone. I asked, «are you calling me a liar?» She then got very defensive and stern in her tone saying, «I did not call you a liar. Do not put words in my mouth. I said that I find it hard to believe what your saying…»
As promised to her… Here is my honest and accurate experience at this location. I was not impressed with how they handled a customer concern. I was not rude, I did not yell, I simply had questions about billing. It shouldn’t have gotten to the point that I left disappointed and wishing I had stuck to my other eye dr.
About two days after I went into see the doctor and spoke with the office manager I received a phone call back that they did further research and found that my insurance would cover more then what was initially disclosed to me. I’m very happy with the follow up and attention to my concern. Seems like it was a one off situation after all.

Valley eyecare had fantastic customer service. I was visiting out of town and ran out of contacts, and the office was very willing to help … They saved me this trip! Highly recommended in the Scottsdale area.

I can’t say enough about Dr. Clyde. He was patient and informative. I have never felt like I «needed» glasses, I always had a prescription that was maybe a little better than without, but never had a wow moment putting on a new pair. Well, I just got my new pair prescribed by him, and I literally said «oh my gosh!» When I put them on. Thank you SO much Dr. Clyde. You have gained a lifelong customer!

Today was my first eye appt with Valley Eyecare & it was awesome! Dr. Lindsey Clyde is so friendly & personable, I really enjoyed her & I can def be a harsh critic sometimes! I got a new contact prescription & they gave me a free trial pair to test in the time I’m waiting for mine to come in… Always a plus! The employee (didn’t catch her name) that help me fit my glasses was amazing as well. Gave her honest opinion & didn’t push me to get anything expensive or spend more money than was necessary. I definitely recommend to everyone but make an appt ahead of time… It took me a month to get in since they are very popular! Oh & also– LOVED the waiting room décor… Very modern and trendy! :)

I went on Unilocal to find an eye doctor close to my work and scheduled an appointment based on the reviews. I could not be happier with Dr. Lindsey Clyde and her staff!
She was very attentive and listened to what I had to say. We tried a couple of different combinations of contacts due to my need of progressives (darn getting older!!) She made sure that the prescription was perfect before finalizing it.
The lady that helped me pick a new pair of glasses (it has been 10 years… don’t judge LOL) was absolutely wonderful. She listened to what I said about the style that I liked and ended up pulling at least 15 different pairs off the wall for me to try on and see what I liked. She also gave her honest opinion about what she thought looked best on me.
The whole experience was fantastic and I would recommend this office in a heartbeat!

The staff was very professional, all the equipment seemed state of the art and they had a great selection on frames. I am definitely bringing my family here. It was a very positive experience all around.

I was nervous about finding a new eye doctor when I moved to Arizona and didn’t think I’d find one as amazing as the Shiley Eye Care Center at UC, San Diego. After putting off my annual eye check up, I finally decided it was time to test the waters and see what Arizona had to offer. Thankfully my fellow Unilocalers led me to the Valley Eyecare Center and I couldn’t be happier!
I like that Valley Eyecare Center uses the latest technology to provide excellent service to their patients. The doctors and staff are warm and caring and take the time to actually listen to my concerns and questions. For example, at my last eye exam Dr. Eric Clyde and his staff understood that I couldn’t afford the additional cost of the retina scan option, but also knew my time was valuable and I couldn’t get through my day in front of the computer if I had to have my eyes dilated so they offered the retina scan and waived the additional cost. When I was recently fitted for contacts I struggled to get them in, but Dr. Clyde was patient and his assistant came into the room to help offer some tips and reassurance. Since I don’t have vision coverage with my health insurance plan, I’m glad that they accept the Aetna VSP (Vital Savings Plan). I’m so glad that I found Valley Eyecare Center!

Dr. Lindsey Clyde is awesome. The office was quick to get me in and they are right down the street.
I walked in and the staff was pleasant and everything was clean and nice. Dr. Clyde recognized my boyfriends name from my form and we chatted a bit about that. She is very easy to talk to.
I needed glasses and Dr. suggested to start with glasses instead of contacts. The lady who does the glasses fitting was great to work with because she gives you her honest opinion and says things like, «for me, these work for you» or, «for me I don’t like them as much as the others».
I later went back and got contacts but wear my glasses occasionally. Everything was affordable and I genuinely enjoy the office.

Dr’s Lindsey and Eric run a great operation! The staff is always friendly and courteous and they are always taking care of my wife and I anytime we need them. We’ve had nothing but professional, excellent care whenever we have been in and I would recommend this office to anyone in the valley!

Dr. Clyde is great and so is the office staff.

When I called to make an appointment, the waiting time was TWO weeks. Decided to schedule appointment anyhow as my visit was not any emergency. I was on the phone for quite some time sharing ALL my insurance information. Day I came in, I filled it out again. Once in a chair and asked if I wanted to pay $ 29 extra for a test; I asked what more after the $ 60 insurance payment would I have to pay out of pocket. I was told another $ 80! Unbelievable! I never head of such a thing; asked for my paperwork and walked out! Office building is brand new… office inside beautiful… maybe there is a correlation between the charges!!! just saying…

I decided to go to Valley Eyecare after several years of going to mall optometrists and never getting the right prescription. I visited the last one four times complaining that the script wasn’t right, only to be given a 30 second chart test and be told «no, you’re fine.» I started to think maybe I was just too far gone to have contacts that could let me see.
My experience was completely different at Valley Eyecare. Their technology is up to date and they had machines that I hadn’t seen before in all my years of getting eye exams. The office staff was helpful, and my appointment started right on time. Dr. Clyde was personable and took the time to understand my frustrations in finding the right prescription.
The part that truly blew me away was that the doctor saw me again when I came to try on the contacts. This was the first time I hadn’t just been handed trials and told to «call in a week if they don’t work» Dr. Clyde himself actually took a couple of minutes to ensure they were sitting well and that they were comfortable before I left.
I didn’t realize what a strain not being able to see properly was taking on my eyes. An hour after getting my trials my whole face started to relax. It felt amazing!
Thank you Valley Eyecare, I’m definitely not going anywhere else for eye care from now on!

I’d been going to the same eye doctor since I first needed glasses 15 years ago. Last year, I moved to Arizona and needed to find a new optometrist. I’m very cautious when it comes to choosing new doctors, so I looked over tons of reviews for doctors all over the valley until I settled on Valley Eyecare for their great Unilocal reviews.
I wasn’t, and still am not, disappointed! Dr Lindsey Clyde is possibly the nicest and most caring doctor I’ve ever had. I have bad vision and incredibly dry eyes, and she stopped at nothing to make sure my new contacts were a perfect fit for my eyes. The staff is equally as welcoming and the woman who fits and orders glasses sat with me for half an hour until I chose the best frames, all the while giving me tips and weighing the pros and cons of each type of frame and lens (very patient for me being such an indecisive person!)
It’s nice to go to a health care professional who really cares about her customers!
I’ve recommended her to all of my family and friends in the Phoenix area and I highly recommend her and the Valley Eyecare staff to anyone who needs a great optometrist!

Trying a new Doctor for anything is always a bit dodgy. You never know if they will be what you want or even good at their job.
How I found this Eye Doctor is thru Unilocal!
I was so glad that I did!
I saw Dr. Lindsey Clyde, she was awesome!
The staff is friendly and answers your questions, without making you feel like a fool.
The Doctor was great, she answered all questions, gave me some things to look for in my furture eye care as well.
They have the latest technology here as well.
I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get there eyes checked.

Before this appointment, I had never been to an optometrist so I had no idea what to expect. I was such a newbie. During the initial exam from the nurse, I’m pretty sure I looked like a deer in the headlights but they were fast, thorough and very nice. Can’t say anything but great things about their bedside manner.
Dr. Clyde was AWESOME! He was so laid back and talked to me in plain English about my vision problems and gave me the options to have glasses or not and when I should be wearing them. He didn’t even dilate my eyes which is awesome because I was going to have to drive in rush hour traffic with blurred vision. No bueno. I ultimately chose to get some specs because I was having some serious night vision issues.
Their frame selection was good enough for me and I found some great Marc Jacobs ones that look perfect on my face. The person responsible for fulfilling prescriptions was THE sweetest person ever and my insurance covered much of the cost.
I was VERY happy with my service here and will be a repeat patient!

Sorry it has taken me so long to get to this review. But, here it is and worth the wait.
My Boyfriend and I both came here to Valley EyeCare Center for our Eye exams.
It was fully a great experience.
When I called they were good enough to make our appts. right next to each other so we could come at the same time.
The girls working there were all very friendly and answered all questions we had.
The office is very modern with all the nice equipment. Plus, it was spotlessly clean in the offices as well.
Our Dr. was Dr. Lindsey Clyde. She was awesome, so nice and very friendly. You felt like she was one of your friends. She explained everything about our eye exam and the results while we were there.
We will come back here and we fully recommend this Eye exam to all our friends.
We were lucky to find this office and they took my insurance as well.

Went here for an eye exam and to get fitted for contacts for my first time. I came in and was met with a very friendly staff and a nice office. Then was greeted by Dr. Eric Clyde himself and taken through the tests. He was very informative throughout and really seemed to go the extra mile in making me comfortable.
I now go out of my way (live in SF) to get my exams and check ups done here.
Thanks Doc!

«Eye» (bad pun) needed to find a new eye doctor, and I decided to call this place since I drive past it all the time on 44^th street.
Their flashing sign promoting that they’re accepting new patients and VSP lured me. So I called them up and scheduled an appointment right away with them.
I was hoping to find an eye doctor that was:
a) good
b) friendly
c) has a nice assortment of upscale frames
And I found all of that and more at Valley Eyecare!
Plus, it was easy from their website I printed out the forms that I needed to fill out — so I didn’t have to spend extra time in the waiting area. (The receptionist was appreciative of that — so was I, it was convenient!)
The entire staff is professional and friendly. I’m so glad that this office is so close to my house. :)
