I would definitely recommend Bridger Eyecare to anyone in the Bozeman area. Their staff is welcoming and helpful, while being extremely knowledgeable about eye-care. They helped me pick the cutest lenses and got them to me fast at an affordable price. Thanks!

I had an emergency at work and Dr. Roth was kind enough to schedule me in that day to make sure my eye itself was in good shape! He took the time to explain what he was looking for and what I needed to keep an "eye" out for if any problem were to arise. Highly recommend the Bridger Eyecare team.

I came in to Bridger Eyecare for my yearly eye exam. They were impressively fast when taking pictures and examining my eyes, but what I enjoyed the most was not getting my eyes dilated! Bridger Eyecare offers advanced technology and takes a picture of the eye instead of dilating, so you can drive yourself home, no problem! My glasses came in 2 weeks and I am very satisfied with the look and feel! Thank you Bridger Eyecare!

So so awesome! I had several questions about a potential rare eye condition I may have and I felt like Dr. Roth totally listened and offered really helpful responses albeit my stress and concern! Also, Megan at the front desk has excellent communication and made me feel very comfortable too. I spelled out the prices of everything and she really helped me find the most affordable price. They rock! ❤️

I was able to get in quickly as a new patient in dire need of a prescription update. The doctor and staff were warm and welcoming and gave me options and unbiased advice on selecting different contact lenses! Great to work with as well if your insurance doesn't cover vision!

Quick examination with good selection of glasses. I have a high prescription, and got put into a great pair of glasses that don’t give me headaches. My previous glasses from a different Eyecare I couldn’t even wear, because they gave me migraines. Would recommend

A wonderful appointment! From the time I booked the appointment to the engagement prior, all the staff was amazing! Dr. Roth was so congenial, made me feel at ease and talked to me about my pretty bad eyes so I understood and was fairly relaxed. His staff is still following up and putting in the research to make sure I can get my contacts and glasses with my insurance. I highly recommend!

We won't be going back. We have insurance and there was a mix up in the beginning that an exam wasn't covered. After calling repeatedly and talking to our insurance company we got everything figured out. Our insurance sent them a check to cover the exam. We are still receiving bills and got sent to collections for this bill that our insurance paid months and months ago. I call BCBSMT once a month and they call them and say you cashed the check in January quit billing your client. And the customer service with Christy is awful they blame us and won't deal with any of it. If you use

As someone who needs glasses for the first time in her life, everyone at Bridger Eyecare has been friendly and patient. Delaney gave her honest opinion when helping me pick out a pair, and has been very helpful making sure they fit.

Bridger Eye Care, Dr. Carl, and all of the team were great to work with. They got me in and out quickly and helped me find some great glasses. AND they didn't puff me in the eyes!

Dr. Roth is second to none, quick concise and friendly. The staff is very kind and knowledgeable. Bridger Eyecare is a professional and easy to work with place, that provides fair prices. The best part about them, is not only do they do a great job taking care of my wife and I but they do an amazing job with our two girls.

I have been seeing Dr. Roth for the past few years and always had good experiences. However at our recent visit he had the nerve to yell at me in the waiting room stating I NEEDED to put my 12 year old daughter in contacts. After telling him multiple times as her mother I didn't feel she was ready for contacts he kept pushing me to put her in them and telling me it was my responsibility to do this. Last I checked there is nothing wrong with glasses. Very unprofessional and rude. Lost my business and I will never recommend him.

My wife, daughter, and I went to get eye exams at Bridger Eyecare and we had a great experience. We arrived at our appointment on time and had little to no waiting before we were taken back to start our exams. Staff was great and Dr. Roth was exceptional. He walked us through each of the exam steps taking the time to explain his process as this was our first experience with some of the state of the art equipment he utilized in our exam. The eye scanner took images of our eyes and he explained the results as the exam proceeded. I have never felt like I had a more complete and thorough exam as I

A disappointing experience from start to finish!
Perhaps we got off on the wrong foot when, first, my 94 year old father and I waited for twenty minutes in a completely empty waiting room before being taken into the inner sanctum - to wait some more.

This was my first visit to a new provider after a fifteen year relationship with a very thorough and personable optometrist, Amy Mummert, in Traverse City, Michigan. The "wrong foot" atmosphere was decidedly
reinforced when optometrist Carl Roth insisted on referring to Dr. Mummert as my, "girlfriend". He did so repeatedly,

They just lost my business. They scheduled me in for an appointment at 8:00 a.m. At 8:20 a.m. still sitting and waiting. This is just to get my daughter's glasses fitted. Mind you there were no other patients. I expressed that this was very unprofessional on their part. Not only was I missing time at work, but my daughter's were missing school. I was rudely told someone was coming from Livingston and would be there soon. Why would you schedule an appointment at 8 a.m. and not have the appropriate staff there for it?!?!?! Needless to say the person didn't get there till 8:45 a.m.

I love this place!! Dr. Roth was very personable and made the effort to make you feel comfortable. Everyone was polite and nice. It's feels more personal than the big chain eye care places which I like. The ONLY complaint I have is that he didn't tell me that he was dilating my eyes and pretty much just said tilt your head back and keep your eyes open. Other than that great experience.

I got my last pair of Rx sunglasses from Bridger Eyecare. I was so impressed by Dr. Roth and his staff - they were so helpful, and even assisted me with selecting the right frames for my face shape. I would highly recommend them... and I'm sometimes hard to impress! ;)

Great location in Bozeman, can't miss it!

Doctor Roth and his staff were very friendly and helpful. They were very quick to accommodate my schedule and answer my questions. Dr. Roth too the time to review my past charts from another provider and explain all procedures and answer questions. I would recommend Bridger Eyecare to everyone.

I really wanted to like this place, especially since the Dr. is fairly nice and personable. However, I had a terrible experience when I went here. To start off with, I scheduled my appointment for as early in the morning as possible to avoid long waits. Unfortunately, I had paged through an entire Vogue magazine before the receptionist bothered to tell me that my insurance wasn't working. Took another 15 minutes for her to figure out how to straighten this out. While I realize the insurance was not her fault, it still should have taken half the amount of time.

45 minutes later, I finally
