Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

First visit.
First visit for cataracts but we were impressed. The appointment was made very quickly. We waited for only a few minutes and the waiting area was clean and comfortable with plenty of space. Staff and doctor were attentive, pleasant, and responded to our questions.

Great Doctor
This was my first visit to Dr. Stone. Prior to seeing him the receptionist, techs and staff were all professional and very welcoming. Dr. Stone took his time and was very thorough in his examination of my eyes. He listened to my concerns, he explained the procedure and any complications that could occur. I was pleased with the visit and I look forward to his help.Very Respectfully

Cataract Surgery
Dr. Stone is an excellent ophthalmologist. I would certainly recommend him to others. He is professional, knowledgeable, and highly experienced. My eye surgery was meticulous. I also want to give a shout out to the support staff who prepared me for my surgery and made sure I was comfortable. Great team work! Thank you so much.

Very slow service
I waited for 35 min passed my scheduled ti e to get the exam started. Then I was sent back out to waiting area for additional 25 min. Then called back to different exam room waited an additional 40 min before Dr stone came in to finish the exam. I missed 2 scheduled meeting due to the length it took to do a simple diabetes eye exam. Very frustrated. Not the 1st time having this happen this location

Very knowledgeable and good at explaining
Dr Stone is very professional. I appreciate how he diagnosed my eye problem and feel comfortable with having the follow-ups. In the 40 years I have been followed at Spokane Eye Clinic, I was very happy with all 3 doctors I’ve seen. But, be prepared for appointments running 30 to 45 minutes behind schedule.
