I just wanted to say how impressed my husband and I are with Eye Center of Northern Colorado! From the receptionist like Heather who goes above and beyond to help their patients with whatever they need to the technicians who do the tests and especially Dr.Rains who is so caring with patients. We highly recommend all of them.

The medical records staff was very efficient and HELPFUL! A PLEASURE dealing with them! Now, my actual eye appointment was NOT as good! They are way too busy !! The techs were good...and Dr. RAINS was nice and thorough, but I felt a bit RUSHED considering how LONG I had to wait to see him. When it's that BUSY, you can't help to feel RUSHED! I could sense the Dr. felt rushed too. I never got my eye report...i had to call medical records the next day. Thank you... Susan Cagle
