Parkridge Vision Specialists

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Jeff Marlatt’s since 2013. Back then my husband drove an hour out of his way to visit this doctor, as he hadn’t been able to wear contacts in years and someone he worked with at the time told him that Dr. Marlatt managed to fit very difficult cases. My husband had visited so many optometrists and ophthalmologists through the years back in our home state, but even after spending a small fortune none of them could replace his glasses with contact lenses. We were told it simply could not be done, so he didn’t have high hopes.
However, it only took Dr. Marlatt one visit to recommend contact lenses that worked better than any had in the past. Within weeks, he had him in the perfect pair that my husband still wears years later. Needless to say, my husband will never go anywhere else until this doctor retires — hopefully that is many years away.
For my own case, my contacts were the easy part. I’d been misdiagnosed with a condition that turned out to be an issue of my eye not matching up with standard test equipment. This has been stressful over the years as multiple doctors came to similar (incorrect) conclusions, even though they clearly admitted they did not quite understand what was going on — which made me nervous. If they didn’t understand an issue, why not look into it a bit further instead of just sending me on my way?
So I don’t immediately place trust in anyone, but through the years I can confirm that Dr. Marlatt has had my best interest in mind. He ordered the right tests that gave him insight into what was going on in my case, which was basically a calibration discrepancy. No one else had bothered with that degree of detail, and I greatly appreciate his thoroughness and willingness to explain all this to me. It saved me a lot of unnecessary worry and expense.
Unlike some of the other reviewers, I have never been asked to write a review on Unilocal,probably because I’ve never even mentioned the site. I’m usually too focused on getting all of my questions answered to talk about anything else. :) But I just had another informative appointment today (on a Saturday– how convenient is that?) and was thinking this morning about how I wish I could find a local dentist that I could trust as much as I trust this eye doctor!

I struggled for many years and opticians to get it right with my contact lenses until I found Dr. Sancho who gave me the gift of eyesight again. I know you will find Parkridge Vision Specialist to be head and shoulders above the rest and they treat you like family. Thanks Dr. Sancho for all that you do and being my primary care provider for my eyes because after all we only have two and they deserve the very best.

I’ve been meaning to review these guys for LONG time ~ almost 4 years to be specific. Our entire family just loves Dr. Marlatt (and my husband has never before liked an eye doctor). We stumbled into Parkridge Vision Specialists (at their previous location) when we moved to Colorado 4 years ago and loved them from Day 1.
Dr. Marlatt is very personable and seems to be very well educated in his profession, and we also just love Marco, the guy who actually fits you with your glasses.
What prompted me to actually do a review today is that my 12 year old son and I just left his regular doctor, and as we were walking to the car he said to me, «Wow! that doctor was awesome! That makes 2 really awesome doctors that we have here. This one and the eye doctor.» So that prompted me to finally write this review.

I have seen both doctors and they are very
caring and very competent in their skills
The front office is very good also

You will notice a trend of several reviews posted in one day. Parkridge did specifically ask for customers to contribute a review. No one was persuaded to write a positive review.
First, several of my neighbors recommended Parkridge. I live in Willow Creek. I was looking for a new optometrist after moving. On my first visit, Dr Marlatt found an abnormality in one eye that my previous Dr never mentioned in the 15 years I was with him.
Parkridge has top of the line technology, friendly staff, knowledgeable Drs, designer eyeware and is easy to get to just off I-​25 at Lincoln.
Dr Marlatt corrected a mistake in my previous prescription, fit me with a more comfortable contact lens, gave me a better solution to store my lenses and his staff billed both my medical and vision insurance to cover more of the costs.
Writing this review reminds me I need to make an appointment.

I know Unilocal can be misleading as far as reviews so I’m hoping my positive review sticks for a while… (hint to Unilocal). I could not say enough good things about Jeff, Michelle and the entire group at Parkridge Vision. I have moved 30 minutes away from their location and still drive there because of the great service I receive. Jeff is always so kind and knowlegable that he makes you feel at home there. He is always concerned with getting me the right perscription. Not only are they concerned about you seeing the best you can, they are also concerned about how much you spend. Parkridge Vision hosts a trunk sale every year where you can find highly discounted frames and lenses. This REALLY helped me out since I don’t have vision insurance and needed glasses before I could get lasik. These guys are one of a kind exceptional!

We went to 3 optometrists before we found Parkridge and the clinic is absolutely awesome. Our experience at the other vision places was fine, but nothing special. But it was my attempt to transistion from contacts to bifocal to progressive lenses that won me over. I had purchased two sets of progressive lenses from the other places and could never make the transition to them. Everything seems warped and i found my head bobbing all over as i went from documents on my desk, to a monitor, to looking across the room. I absolutely hated the progressives and gave up in favor of old fashioned bifocals. I mentioned this to Parkridge and the doctor explained in detail why I was struggling and the right type of lens that would enable me to make the jump. Apparently the 3^rd try is a charm, as long as you use the right lenses (the ones Parkridge reccomends)! After a few days in the lenses I’m now good to go and could not be happier. Frankly, I’m suprised that I’m sitting her now wearing them. I never though I’d be able to wear progressives. I soooo happy!!! Thanks to the Parkridge doctors for making me happy!!!

I’d always been a mall-​glasses shopper. In and out and an hour, just get it done.
I decided about a decade ago to finally go to a real optometrist. Jeff was amazing. My eyes were pretty wonky and changed a bunch. We actually ended up doing 3 different eye exams over a few weeks to ensure he nailed down the right prescription.
Jeff’s attention to detail was extraordinary. I went from most of my life having ²⁰⁄₄₀ vision with glasses to ²⁰⁄₂₀ and even ²⁰⁄₁₅ with contacts.
I’ve been recommending him for years. Sure, versus the mall you’re going to pay a bit more. but instead of being treated like a burden that they just want to get out as quickly as possible, Park Ridge and Jeff took time with me, got to know how I see, and furnished me with the best vision I’ve ever had in my life.
I can’t say thanks enough. A+!

Incredibly unprofessional operation. Pushed me and my wife into unnecessary tests (claiming that they were covered under the insurance), then did not show any remorse when it turned out that they were not covered. Not only did we pay for it, they SENT BILL TO COLLECTOR AFTER US HAVING PAID THEM. Stay away — they are only trying to make money and do not care about the customer experience at all.
