Northwest Eye Physicians Reviews ( 231 )

  1. Dr Wood, is a caring opthomologist whose expertise is beyond compare. He replaced my lenses due to cataracts and the result is phenomenal! His office staff and technicians are friendly and, highly, trained. I follow-up with him, yearly.

  2. I was so nervous in the beginning but after it was all over there was no pain and all my fears and worry were for nothing and it was over before I knew it the only thing you’ll feel is a little eye discomfort very minor like you have a eyelash in your eye but even that was very minor

  3. I just called to set up an appointment. I was waiting for 10 minutes. At the 5 minute mark the lady switched back over and asked me to “hold please” again. Not happy.

  4. This was my yearly appointment so I expect to get drops. Because my eyes are dry the doctor felt that putting in things in the corners of my eyes will help me. I hope it works.

  5. I walked in this office as an out of state patient visiting the area in need of eye care. The staff was professional and courteous and I received excellent care.

  6. My family and I have been patients here for more than 50 years and have always been extremely satisfied with the care and treatment we have received. I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

  7. Dr. Adam Prickett is great! He realized how terrified I was of having cataract surgery and took the time to explain and reassure me that everything would be fine…and he was right!
