Renee recently moved to the area with her two children to marry her high school sweetheart. She has a back round in merchandizing and bookkeeping. Using her soft-spoken Oklahoma accent she spends much of her time scheduling and chasing down insurance coverage for you. She was a quick study to grasp the enormity of her position and we are certainly blessed to have her as a part of the family of Coulee Vision Center.
At Coulee Vision Center, we are committed to providing the finest quality eye care. Our philosophy is that 'every patient should have access to eye care', regardless of social status or financial means. If you have no insurance we have an 'out of pocket' deeply discounted charge, and we accept Visa, MC, Discovery, American Express and Care Credit.
So, i just moved here from San Francisco, Ca. I knew that upon getting up here i needed to go directly to an eye doctor and get my cataracts removed. I called the hospital (eye care center i had chosen while still in San Francisco) in Spokane for a recommendation and this was the eye doctor they recommended.
You will be asked about your medical history and any vision problems you might be experiencing. Your eye doctor measures your visual acuity to see if you need glasses or contact lenses to improve your vision. Your eye doctor checks the health of your eyes, possibly using several lights to evaluate the front of the eye and inside of each eye.

Always available to help with small repairs to glasses, even if you bought them someplace else. They've replaced my nose pads a few times now, and they have great retail prices on nearly everything. Only cheaper glasses in the state is a state retailer that has your glasses made by the prison system. Closest one of these is in Ephrata. Cost difference for me was about $100 power their estimate, and I wear extremely high index lenses and require extreme correction for astigmatism and use bifocals for both nearsightedness and farsightedness. The place in Ephrata took about 2 months to fill my prescription

So, i made an appointment and was super pleased with the office. Peggy (i think i got her name right) was awesome and made sure stuff went out to my insurance and would be covered, except for my co-pay which she sent a bill for (i expected one but since this insurance is new to me, i wasn&apos
