Mt. Baker Vision Clinic Reviews ( 250 )

  1. I’ve always had a great experience with the Bellingham office. From eye exams to purchasing new glasses they are very friendly and professional. Thanks!

  2. In the midst of Covid I was extremely pleased with the detailed sanitation, checking temps and asking specific questions before I was even 3 feet in the door!! Masks were worn by everyone!

  3. I was very satisfied with my experience, it was well over due. Thanks to Mt. Baker vision clinic, I’ll be able to see clearly again soon. Swift & clean operation 😊 …

  4. The staff seems very friendly and sensitive to my inquiries and my visual needs. I have been going for several years and would like to continue indefinitely.

  5. As always, everyone is super helpful and friendly. Of the 4 states I’ve had vision clinics in this is top shelf, go here if you want total care.

  6. I’ve been a Mt Baker Vision Clinic patient since 1969. After all these years they’ve still got me seeing 20/20. They continue to provide great service and it’s always a pleasure to be processed and checked by their kind and pleasant staff.

  7. Very professional and friendly. Welcomed upon entry to office and on exit after exam. All of my questions were answered. Every aspect of the visit was a delight and have recommended Mt Baker vision to others.

  8. In this time of pandemic, the staff were all professional and courteous in their assessments. The clinic was clean and it was obvious that the staff was concerned to keep it that way.

  9. Had a full appointment and bought glasses, the bill was $200 more than VSP insurance quote. Office manager would not talk to me. Told me to deal with insurance. Called VSP and they said I was overcharged. Called MT Baker and they refused again. Called VSP and they handled it. Got my $200 refund and will not go back to MT Baker Vision

  10. Dr. Larsen is very knowledgeable and explained changes clearly and understandable. The rest of the staff is friendly and helpful as well. A great group of people!

  11. Lovely staff and doctor – would not go anywhere else! I trust them with my eyesight. Friendly, supportive and always professional. A+

  12. I scheduled and received a good eye exam from these folks, and their location is very convenient here in Lynden. They cater to every member of the family. They have a larger frame store in Bellingham providing most frame styles, so the process of exam to finished glasses, will usually be split between these two locations.

  13. Dr. Koinig was very good in explaining any concerns that I had and didn’t just leave me there but always offered solutions to correct the issues. Setting timelines for handeling future problems on the horizon. Thanks for your approach.

  14. This is a great vision clinic. Dr Koning is terrific with kids, as are the entire staff. From the exam to the fitting, your kids will feel at ease and know that they matter!

  15. Friendly and helpful staff. Dr. Kelly Larsen is great. She gives a thorough eye exam. She explains all in easy to understand terms. Great service.

  16. Best eye care in the County! I’ve had eye exams with Dr. Koning and Dr. Larsen. Both are professional and very informative on my eye exams. Booked for next year.

  17. Brian is one of the truly joy filled people in this world. His staff is excellent and courteous. I always love it when they help me to find good glasses and get me seeing better. Stop by and see them.

  19. I’ve been a client of MBV for many years. Dr. Kelly Larsen is so smart and personable and the staff of the optical department are very knowledgeable and helpful.

  20. I was promptly met at the counter, then made to wait 20 minutes while the woman “helping” me pick up my daughter’s glasses took 3 lengthy phone calls. Then she refused to give them to me without my daughter – who is a minor. At least they were rude and slow.

  21. Good visit, everyone was friendly and professional. As this was my first visit here, or any eye clinic, I was pleased with how things were explained to me.
    Staff was knowledgeable about my insurance coverage and what my benefits covered.

  22. I was able to get the emergency help I needed thanks to the staff helping me and understanding the situation. I was treated with kindness, care and compassion.

It wasn’t until I found Mt Baker Vision that I realized what a wonderful eye experience should feel like!!! The staff and Dr Koning are top notch, and their service is unmatched!

  43. At my eye examination the staff was cheerful, helpful and friendly
    as they always have been. I had to see a different doctor and was just as comfortable as I have been with the doctor I usually see. They take extra care of those special issues that may need extra care.

  44. They were so generous . They repaired the pads on my brother in law’s glasses for free. They took a little time just to visit during my exam. They took their time to be sure all the tests and measurements were correct. And it was no …

  45. Mt. Baker Vision is a great option for eye care. My 2 young boys had a visit last month and everyone we interacted with provided excellent service. We were early to our appointment so I was worried that we would have to wait for a long …

  46. I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Kelly Larsen for an eye exam last week.

She is efficient, tactful and has genuine wealth of knowledge incomparable to any other eye doctor I’ve seen.

Baker Vision. Thank you!

  61. Dr. Kelly Larsen and Marie Eliza(spelling ??) were very thorough and explained my eye tests and answered my questions. I am getting my 4 th pair of silhouette glasses which I love

  62. Courteous, experienced staff as well as reliable optometric prescriptions and recommendations/ referrals make this a very comfortable place to have your eyes checked. Retail pricing on glasses, but with experienced sales people and fitting you can can count on it’s worth the money .

  63. Friendly, polite, and clean. I was able to take glasses out to my car and see how the frames fit with my mask off. The staff was very helpful in helping me pick out the frames I like as well as pick some that are a little more out of my comfort zone (I bought them). : )

  64. I was very pleased with my vision appt. on 9/12/19. The staff couldn’t have been nicer! Dr. Larsen was amazing: so knowledgeable & caring of any issues I was facing. The state of the art equipment is used to give the very best results in my vision care.

  89. Dr. Kelly Larson always tries to help me fix my dry eye issues. She offers up great suggestions, new treatments or contact lenses to try, and is thorough. She’s also very personable.

  94. I am very happy with Mt. Baker Vision and Dr Brian Koning and would definitely recommend them to anyone. The staff is friendly, I always receive individualized attention and am extremely happy with glasses I pick out with their assistance.

  95. I have gotten consistently great care at Mt Baker Vision. I see Kelly Larsen – she is an excellent practitioner and has wonderful “chair side” manner. All the staff have been helpful and professional.

  96. Liked the Dr and assistants, but it’s absolutely ridiculous to require appointments to enter your building to look at frames, especially when I was told I could come back anytime to look. Will be going elsewhere since no one else requires this.

  97. My first appointment with Dr. Larson and her assistant was very professional and thorough. Dr. Larson answered all my clinical questions and made me feel confident about the results of the exam. The exam was efficient and on time. I …

  98. Everything was perfect at my recent eye exam. Kyla was courteous, organized and thorough in the initial stages of the exam (eye test, pressure, photos). Dr. Kelly Larsen was, as usual, polite, professional and cheerful during the main part of the exam. Thanks!

  102. I trust that I will get excellent eye health care at Mt. Baker Vision Clinic in Bellingham. I’ve been a patient/client there for nearly 20 years. They’ve always given me superior professional care.

  103. Everyone, from the ladies that work the front desk, the person who takes you back to the room, the eye doctor, and the ladies that help you fit your glasses at the end, everyone is absolutely amazing! I feel like they really care.

  104. By my own mistake, I arrived early. But I had also scheduled an appointment for after this one…so I was in a bind. The office staff worked with the rest of those involved, and managed to get me taken care of. I didn’t feel the appointment …

  105. Dr Larsen is so kind and easy to talk with. She also explains what is happening to my eyes anatomically as I age which is nice to understand. She really wants to make sure that the prescription is the right one for you. Her staff is very accommodating and understanding . I would highly recommend her and her team .

  106. The new Lynden location looks better . I had to wait to be seen and was not taken back to a room for almost 30 minutes. I do not want to wear a mask for 30 minutes and not be able to breathe . Would be better if you had a waiting area provided outside- or give patients a choice to wait outside or in their car with a beeper.

  107. The optician department is great at helping pick out glasses. They also just loaned my son frames for his lenses after he broke his. That’s going above and beyond my expectations. The optometrists are thorough and friendly.

  108. From the moment I walked in…all staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The tech got me through all the tests with ease. She explained ever machine and what it does. Dr Joyner is super friendly, very intelligent, and her patience with …

    Doctor Larsen warm and thorough – she took time to explain everything. I’m an …

  110. Nice, easy check-in, no significant waiting to be seen, friendly, effective, excellent patient flow. My exam was complete and thorough. I strongly recommend Mt. Baker Vision Clinic.

  111. In and out quickly, gentleman who did my testing was pleasant, professional, and proficient at his job. Only criticism is I’d say ditch the masks. Ridiculous at this point

  112. My experience was at the Mt. Baker Vision Clinic in Ferndale, WA that is closer my home in Blaine that the Bellingham Clinic where I used to do business. Great setup and very knowledgeable and friendly staff!

  113. Dr. Koning is very knowledgeable and has always been very patient with my particular eye challenges. The entire staff is very professional and helpful and appointments always start on time. Highly recommend.

  114. Dr. Brian Koning is the absolute best. If the review was based just on him, I would give 5 stars. Unfortunately, I have to consider the front desk and optical employees, who seem to be inconvenienced by having to help patients 9 times out …

  115. I chose this clinic based on location, since I work within walking distance. I’ve been here once or twice a year for about four years. Dr. Larsen and her staff are always on time and super-efficient, and they answer every question I have, …

  116. I always have a good experience at my annual eye exams. Super nice and attentive people. I usually see Brian Koning and I find him caring, knowledgeable and friendly. The staff who help me pick out new frames are patient and very nice. I …

  117. I received the kindest, most professional and personable care from Dr. Larsen and her assistant, Meg! I also appreciated the rest of the staff at Mt. Baker Vision. I made the mistake of going to a “less expensive” company (which ended up not to be true) for my previous eye exam and glasses, and I will not make that mistake again.
