The reviews listed below were collected independently of Spokane Eye Clinic through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Dr. Riley always solves the problem. This time (and it has happened before) he found an eyelash sticking in my eye. He pulled it, and I feel like a new person. He made me feel that I wasn’t being paranoid. He is perfect, even when dealing with mundane problems.

I think he is over scheduled and doesn’t have time to understand complaints. He is very nice but I don’t think he paid enough attention to my vision and complaints.

So thorough after I’ve been bounced around following a minor trauma (fall). This Doc visit was the first when I felt like any new issue was being addressed.
