​​​​​​​Clients Say

“

I’m from out of town and was able to get a same day appointment. Dr Chariton was great! He quickly identified my problem and took care of it. All the staff was polite and efficient. I would definitely recommend them.

By N. FAW

Had a wonderful visit today! My 16 year old son and I have our yearly visits together and as usual the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. They were all so helpful with answering all of our questions and offered superb advice.

By Darlene B.

Loved the efficiency of reception. Initial work with tech was unrushed, which wasn’t great for me. Doc was a little behind so overall appointment took longer than expected, but I appreciate the doc not rushing.

By Brenda B.

I visited for a routine eye exam. I found the staff at Rocky Mountain Eye Center to be very professional, friendly, and efficient. The physical facility is also very modern and very pleasant. The practice has an optical shop, but there is no pressure to purchase from them.

By Ed M.

I’m visiting from Alaska and I started to have flashes of light and floaters in my right eye. I called the Center and they gave me an appointment in 30 minutes. The welcoming atmosphere and professional services were first class.

By Debra S.

In for yearly exam, friendly front desk gentleman, very nice Dr assistant, courtesan and professional Dr Charlton. He explained all my options and took his time answering my questions. Would recommend this office for eye care.

By Gayla D.

This was a great experience. Everyone was knowledgeable and professional. Best appointment I’ve ever had.

By Carol M.

The Salida location’s staff was very friendly and professional. I felt comfortable as soon as I walked in the door and throughout the whole process. The doctor was thorough and even stayed and answered all of my questions. I know I will be a lifelong customer!
