Reviews
Great Optomitrist!
I have been a patient of Dr. Garth Weaver for many years. He is a very kind, patient, caring person. Anybody that can fit multifocal contact lens correctly is a pro in my book. This guy is the greatest!\t\n\t\nI have never had to wait more than 5-10 mins. past a sche...duled appt. time. \t\n\t\nI would not hesitate to recommend this Dr. to anyone. Go now! You won't be sorry.
Really great exams
I have been a patient of Dr. Weaver's for 3 years now and I really appreciate the time he takes to do a very thorough exam and explain in detail anything I need to be aware of. I was recommended by a friend and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others.
Far West Optical-Excellent Service For 11 Years Now
I read the previous review of Far West Optical. While I know both doctors, it is Dr Barbara Coldiron I have seen for over eleven years now. Being a patient for over eleven years, I just can't imagine that the previous review and I have been to the same Far West Optica...l. Dr. Coldiron has always given me very thorough eye exams in a timely and gracious manner. I have found her to be a very caring doctor who has even come in on a couple of Sundays when we have eye emergencies in our family. One of those times was very late at night and she still insisted on meeting us instead of sending us to the emergency room. Over the eleven years, I have sent many friends to Far West Optical and Dr. Coldiron. All have thanked me for sending them to such a great doctor. \t\n\t\nI have found the staff of Far West Optical, including the "front desk" people, to always be courteous on the phone and in person. They order my contacts when I "oops" run out and get them for me very quickly. They always ask how we are and make small talk. \t\n\t\nI would recommend this eye doctor above any, even if you have to wait an extra fifteen minutes as the past person said. Dr. Coldiron has usually run on time for my visits yet if she were behind, I would wait. She is definitely worth waiting for!
Superior Exams and Emergency Service
I've adored the kind and informative bed side manner of Dr. Garth Weaver for 13 or 14 years. His is indeed thorough during the yearly exams and in every instance. Most recently he saw me first thing in the morning after I accidently stabbed myself in the eye with m...y Toyota Key the night before and apparently scratched my cornea. While he clearly had a full patient schedule, he squeezed me in and really took a good amount of time with me. He remembers his patients from visit to visit. I sure hope his other patients weren't put out, they didn't seem to be, because we all know we're going to get his full attention when it is our turn. His front desk staff are more than cordial. The selection of eye wear makes me drool every time I stop in. There is a nice selection for us older folk wanting rather edgy eye wear.
Far West Optical
I HIGHLY recommend Far West Optical. I've been wearing glasses since the 1979 and I've going to Far West Optical the past 10 years. The office has given me the most comprehensive eye exams I've ever received, the staff is very nice and they've always provided me with ...polite, prompt assitance. \t\n\t\nThe lab Far West uses for prescriptions uses chemically-hardened leses versus the air-hardened versions you get at 1-hour stores. The chemically-hardened lenses are DRAMATICALLY more scratch resistant and are simply better quality all around.
Great Eye Doctor: Dr. Garth Weaver
My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Weaver for at least six years. He is very professional, competent, and a really nice guy. He takes the time to explain what he's doing to check out your eyes and is really dedicated to making sure you get ...
