Templeton Eye Clinic

Both templetons are amazing and professional, one is a little rough around the edges but is an expert in his field. i have worn glasses for over 24 years and this is the absolute best place i have been to over my years as a traveling construction worker

I had an eye exam done a while back, and I can tell you that the place is ran by brothers. Tall brother is extremely nice, he does the pre exam, orders the glasses and repairs them. The actual eye doctor is a completely different story. Rude, disrespectful, snaps at you, tells you what you want and when explaining to the doctor during the exam if it's clear or not, he tells you that you're wrong. Since I was paying cash, the Dr tried forcing me to get bifocals, naturally because he thought he'd squeeze more money out of me. I've since had another eye doctor give me an exam, guess what, I don't require bifocals. My current eye Dr also said that if I got the bifocals, it would have weakened my eyes faster. I know Templeton is gonna be hit or miss with certain people. In my honest opinion from personal experience, find a better eye doctor or you could ruin your sight

I am SO GLAD that I found this eye doctor and his team!! They took amazing care of me. Dr. Templeton is a very attentive caregiver who is paying close attention to detail. He resolved the issues other doctors missed and provided me with real solutions. Dr. Templeton addressed every single concern I brought to him and pointed out issues that I was unaware of altogether. The care plan he helped me put together, along with the BETTER than 20/20 prescription he worked so hard to fit me with, have brought me so much relief. I am a high needs patient. He and his entire team were more than happy to accommodate those needs. They took their time and were exceedingly patient with me through the entire process. Mr. Mark was so kind and helped me find frames that complement my face perfectly. He is well versed in both market trends and styles AND how to properly complement your face structure and proportions. I'm very thankful for the support this office gave to me. They are a hidden gem in El Dorado.

Called about making me and my grandpa an appointment and the man was just extremely rude and pushy. I wanted to make sure what each of our insurance plans paid for because he said I was wrong. I said I would make sure and call back Monday about appointments. He said "well I've already told you what you have so we can make the appointments now. Why do you need to wait?" I was about to just hang up. But anyways. He's just super rude. I would never go here just because of the phone inquiry.

If I could give ZERO stars I most definitely would!! The "Dr" that does the exam is the rudest, most argumentative, unprofessional optometrist I have EVER seen in my 30 years of going to an eye doctor. When I went to get my Rx he TRIED to refuse to give it to me, and was very unprofessional and argumentative about it. Then when I finally got it from him, and tried to order contacts online, he called me and questioned me as to why I was ordering more contacts. He had several irrelevant excuses why he didn't want to verify the Rx. After he forced me to get loud with him he finally agreed to verify the Rx. I will NEVER go back to him, and strongly recommend anyone else to avoid seeing him!!

Answered the phone with "Hello," instructed me on how to talk??? I'm just asking if you have available appointments, idc about telling you how many doctors i've talked to. proceeded to tell me "we'll talk to you if you talk like that." Complete A*shole. I definitely reconsidered my decision just from calling-- very glad I didn't go to them or that my husband wasn't listening. "if you have cash you're at the top of the list" i told him who my insurance was and he told me "you're at the bottom of the list now." UNPROFESSIONAL and I would not go to them if my life depended on it! :)

It was Christmas Eve and my wife lost a contact. Being we were 9 hours away from home, out of our home state, and didn't have any extra contacts or glasses she needed help. This place took care of us when everyone else was closed or would not help us since we were out of state. Great people and a big thank you for helping to make our holiday visible. God Bless!

Called this morning to make appointment. It was gentleman who answered I assumed he was the eye DR. RUDE CAN NOT DESCRIBE HIS CUSTMER SERVICE SKILLS. GUESS THEY DID NOT TEACH That in his schooling. This is the second time I have called and both times I have had to hang up on him. I Would not recommend to see him much less call him .
