Make the most of your exams by knowing how often to get them, and what information to bring with you.

It's important to understand the relationship between your eyes and any medications you may currently be using.

I liked the initial visit but I will never go back. I have been calling for months requesting my contact prescription that I paid for. They will not release it to me because they want me to buy contacts through their office. I have a brand that I love but they want me to buy some that are uncomfortable and more expensive. I have never in my 15 years of wearing contacts/ glasses had such a difficult time with an office. They will not return my calls and when they do answer I am always told that they will call me back and never do. Do not go here. My appointment was in March and I still have not

I've used the Van Dran team for a few years now. The first time I believe was for a Stroke where I had a vien in my left eye burst. Mrs Van Dran was quick to diagnose and recommend a treatment plan. My vision was partially lost although I do have pariferal vision. Each year the team has provided me with my prescription.
I had an incident this year where something was in my eye. I had gone to the ER where the Dr. could not get me out of the pain I was in. I left the and went to Dr. Van Drans office. She treated my eye problem and had me out of pain withing 20 minutes or so.

Dr. Van Dran is a good optometrist. My family and I have been patients of her's for over six years. She is informative of our eye care wants and needs. I love her staff! They are welcoming and very attentive during our visits. These ladies really know eyewear and will help you find the best frames to fit your face and style.

I was driving through Silver City when one of my contacts ripped. I didn't have a backup pair and I didn't have my glasses, so I was facing the unpleasant prospect of driving another couple of hours with one eye closed.
After calling Dr. Van Dran's office, they tracked down my prescription at my optometrist back home and helped me get a new contact so that I could finish the trip with both eyes open. It's easy to take little things for granted until they're gone.
Judging by the way they helped a total stranger like me, who offers virtually no potential for repeat business, I would imagine they

Dr. Van Dran was such a blessing to meet! She really cares about people and what she does! Dr. Van Dran wants to make sure I get into the right prescription, so they order me 3 sets of contacts, to see what works best for my eyes. Most eye doctors just want to get on the next patient, but she took her time. Thank you very much!

She is always on her cell phone instead of doing her job when your in there with her, she's constantly talking about stuff that is irrelevant to the appointment, and when I took my 6 year old in for her first appointment, instead of asking me if I was comfortable with leaving my daughter alone with her, she had her assistant come in and ask me to quickly sign some patient papers which turned out to be a lie and told me that Dr. Bedford does better with the kids when the parents aren't in the room. Do not take your kids to this woman.
