My annual visit to River City Eye in the Holllywood district went smoothly and, as usual, was very pleasant. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and attentive. Dr. Provost takes the time to answer my questions fully and patiently. It's great to feel welcome, accepted and confident about the skills and knowledge of this excellent eye care facility.

What a great place for eye care. Appointments are always on time, I'm always greeted with a smile from both the scheduler technicians and the eye doctor. I've seen Dr. Carrie Breeden, and she's really nice, but I've mostly seen Dr. Bret Provost and he is fabulous. He's kind, patient, and creative with different approaches as I try to negotiate my really poor distance vision and the increasingly poor close up vision as age catches up. Shen I arrived 5 minutes late and harried to my last Saturday morning appointment, his calm manner and kind approach completely transformed my day.

Staff is super friendly!! Also, I like it that they show you a picture of the inside of your eyeball; I almost got choked up because eyes are so amazing!

Bret was very patient with my kiddo. He even tried to do part of his eye exam in the office area as The kid was comfortable in that setting. Once in the room to finish the exam, the doctor was even more patient as my kid just wanted to touch everything he had in his hands. Our whole family goes here and will continue to do so.

Rivercity Vision in Hollywood has always treated me like an honored guest. I was able to get a same day appt for an eye irritation and receive an my needed eye exam as well. I highly recommend Rivercity Vision! Thank You, Kate Mclean

Wonderful people. Approachable caring and nice.

The optometrist and optician were both very kind and thorough. Everything was explained well without making me feel like they were talking down to me. The optician really listened to my needs and preferences when it came to frames and was very helpful in finding a pair for me. I felt welcomed and cared for. I would recommend this clinic.

The team at River City Eyecare made me feel comfortable and welcome from the time I walked in the door to the time I walked out. I accepted their offer of coffee, expecting Keurig or an hour-old drip. They pulled out a pour-over setup and made a fresh cup. I have sensitive eyes and have difficulty keeping them open for eyedrops and bright flashes. The imaging technician was patient as my movements and blinks necessitated more eye photos than should have been necessary. Dr. Bret helped keep my eyes open while shining a blue light after some yellow drops. I felt entirely at ease during my visit. Bret then made lens recommendations based on my lifestyle and the nature of my job. I'm happy that I chose River City, and I intend to come back here when I need to update my prescription later on.

Dr. Provost and his staff are the best! Always friendly, helpful, and professional.
Feb 27, 2019
Excellent work! I wasn't there for corrective lenses, I was seen for an injury. Dr. Provost knew just what to do and I was in and out in no time. They also saw me as a walk-in. Super nice folks, all around!
Feb 13, 2019
River City Eyecare is a tiny but mighty clinic. They have great hours, helpful and friendly opticians, and a great selection of frames. Dr. Provost is very friendly and warm. I have had nothing but great experiences here.

Dr. Provost is very kind and informative.

Dr Carrie is awesome and explains everything very well. It's great to be able to be in and out quickly for my yearly eye exam. Everyone at the Hollywood location is lovely, helpful, kind and knowledgable. And they have a really great selection of glasses (a lot of really unique, quirky choices too!), which is amazing for the relatively small space.

Very professional courteous and knowledgable

Dr Provost and staff are very helpful and explain procedures and vision issues well.
Oct 12, 2018
I feel you are very focused on helping me have the best vision possible. I appreciate the extra effort you have taken to help me get a good fit.
Sep 26, 2018
Everyone in the office was very friendly and courteous. The service was quick and the optometrist was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

River City Eyecare is a great place to get an updated eye exam and to get frames! They are easy, no fuss, comprehensive, informative, respectful, and fun! If you don't have insurance, they offer a discount. They really take care of you as an individual and care about your health and happiness. The doctor was so approachable and explained details regarding my eyes, what to look out for, how things work, etc. Also, I always have trouble finding the right frames, but they found the best ones for me really quickly and were so helpful with finding the right options for me. So glad I stopped by!

After reading the great reviews of this optometrist, I decided to give them a try. From the moment I walked in I was treated extremely well. The two opticians that greeted me were kind and courteous. The optometrist was also quite friendly and the exam was quite efficient. He also took the time to go over my retinal scans, which I appreciated. They also had a great selection of glasses. A bit pricey, but the brands they have are great quality and they worked with me to make sure I wasn’t spending more than I needed. Overall a great experience. If you’re looking for a new eyecare center, I highly recommend them.
May 24, 2018
Everyone is super nice and helpful. The visit was quick and efficient. I really appreciate that I can schedule via email.
May 14, 2018
River City has been my neighborhood optometrist for years. I'm always remembered personally, which amazes me considering how many people they must see in a year. I feel well cared-for.
Apr 18, 2018
Great service with knowledgeable staff - answered my questions with kindness and patience!
Apr 16, 2018
So glad that I I found River City Eyecare. Carrie was fantastic! They have wonderful selection of unique frames, friendly and helpful staff, and I love the location. Five stars all the way!
Apr 12, 2018
Great team! Very personable, friendly, and knowledgeable!
Mar 31, 2018
It was good to have a reminder of the appointment.
Mar 24, 2018
Everyone one here is really nice and considerate. The person in the front helped me pick out a pair of glasses and was very fun and helpful. I absolutely recommend River City.
Mar 9, 2018
Had a great experience with River City Eyecare! Not only did they get me in at the last minute when I suddenly needed to get my eyes checked, but they took their time and were helpful (but not pushy!) as I dithered over which frames to choose.
Feb 28, 2018
River City Eyecare has been consistently good to me and my family. Both the scheduling and location is convenient. Both doctors are cheerful, personable, and professional. The staff is friendly and very helpful.
Feb 8, 2018
Dr. Provost has a very calm demeanor and explains every step. I appreciate this, as it is not only interesting, but make me feel empowered as a patient, in regards to my eye health. The opticians checked my insurance thoroughly and explained all my options in detail. I always recommend River City Eyecare.
Feb 2, 2018
I highly recommend the Hollywood location (although I'm sure their other office is just as wonderful). Dr. Provost spent the time with me and my teen daughter to come up with accurate diagnoses, the correct prescriptions, and find the perfect glasses, sunglasses and contacts to meet each of our needs. Jake and Jenny were flexible when scheduling and easy to work with during fittings.
Jan 31, 2018
Consistently friendly while providing excellent service!

Great service and friendly helpful people.
Jan 24, 2018
I left beaming from my first visit here. I'm a little hesitant toward healthcare professionals because good ones are difficult to find, but Dr. Provost took his time and was thorough in his explanations and general conversations. He made me feel like he truly cares for my well-being, not just my eyesight. I will certainly keep him in my circle of preferred providers. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating.

Always nice to visit the clinic. The Dr. and staff are very courteous and professional.
Nov 15, 2017
Very professional and down to earth people to deal with. Also very helpful. Would recommend for your eye care.
Nov 9, 2017
Excellent exam done by Dr. Carrie and explained well with the new camera images. She is very knowledgeable, personable and answered all my questions.
Nov 2, 2017
My visit was great even though my vision isn't lol
Oct 7, 2017
Who knew I could drive alot better at night?
Oct 7, 2017
I felt very well-cared for by the team at River City Eyecare. Dr. Provost walked me through the results of my screening and made sure I understood exactly what he was looking for and what it all meant. Jake was my optician, and I could not be happier with my experience with him. He was so incredibly helpful and took the time to walk me through frame selection even though I was feeling very indecisive that day.
Oct 2, 2017
Super friendly and knowledgeable staff!
Sep 30, 2017
Dr. Provost and Jake were both great. Very thorough throughout my appointment in evaluating and testing my eyesight, explaining what is going on with my eyes, and they ways that glasses would help. Unfortunately, the prices of the lenses and frames at River City were just too high for my budget. I'm sure they would have produced a great product, but unfortunately my insurance didn't cover that.
Sep 13, 2017
Everything that I experienced was top shelf; the doctor, the staff, and, even the coffee and half and half. Looking forward to receiving the final product. Hugs, Leah Sweet

I needed a last minute eye exam for an issue I was having. Everyone I called close to home (walking distance) was booked. I called River City and they could see me that day. I was greeted warmly upon entering and offered a beverage. I was there for an eye issue primarily, exam secondly. Such great care from start to finish.
Aug 10, 2017
This is a place where I can get fitted with the correct lens prescription for my eyes. Many places I have gone were not able to fit me so I could see properly. I love both doctors at River City, they take the time to make sure my prescription is the right one for me.
Jul 8, 2017
I like the staff and Dr. Breeden, because they're friendly and easygoing, and it's a quiet, welcoming office. I first saw Dr. Breeden a couple years ago at one of the eye places in the mall and liked her approach so much that I tracked her down at her private practice, and her exam and manner was as professional as the first time.
May 7, 2017
Looking forward to the next visit.
Apr 29, 2017
I love the Staff and physicians at River City! Always so helpful and nice. I really enjoy coming here, and will always be a patient here!

Cozy and friendly independent office
Feb 17, 2017
Great efficient exam & appointment. I was treated with courtesy and respect. Very pleased!
Feb 17, 2017
Thorough, knowledgeable and down-to-earth. Everyone took the time to explain options and answer questions. Couldn't ask for a more pleasant eye-care experience.
Feb 3, 2017
You guys are great -- very professional, super friendly, and knowledgeable. I also love that I've never had a problem making an appointment. I get my reminder, I call, and you've got options in the next week or two. Add that you're right in the neighborhood, and it's a recipe for success as far as I'm concerned. Thanks.
Jan 25, 2017
Was able to get an appointment for an eye exam with just a couple of day's lead. The staff and doctor were all extra personable. Frame selection is small, but they had some gems so it is well worth checking out.
Dec 2, 2016
We have been at River City Eye Care since Dr. Provost started it. We tracked him down from his previous job that he worked out and have not left. We recommend him any time we can. Best Optomitrist in PDX!
Oct 24, 2016
I just had a great visit at River City Eye Care. The doctor was fabulous, and the staff were gracious and friendly. Super-knowledgeable and efficient. Very convenient location too in Hollywood District.
Oct 22, 2016
Always a pleasure to come in for an eye exam! Super friendly staff!
Sep 26, 2016
I really loved Dr. Carrie! Informative, friendly, professional.
Sep 24, 2016
Dr. Provost and his staff were excellent! I highly recommend and will definitely be going there from now on.
Sep 19, 2016
I worked with Bret and Jamie. Both were fantastic!
Jul 28, 2016
Great all around. Welcoming, informative and helpful in selecting the right prescription and frames.
Jun 15, 2016
I've always enjoyed coming to your office. I feel that my concerns are addressed appropriately and feel I'm receiving the best care
May 16, 2016
River City Eyecare is the best in all aspects of service,I will recommend them to all my friends
Apr 23, 2016
Jenny did an excellent job explaining all the options available and researching the best benefit with my insurance.
Apr 11, 2016
Everyone was very kind and helpful. My prescription was wrong, but I think I am maybe not always clear. They helped me find the right glasses and the right prescription. And they did it in a supportive way. So happy I switched to this office! The frames are also really cool.
Apr 8, 2016
Even got up to date info on E Readers.
Apr 8, 2016
Friendly people, knowledgable staff. If you're looking for a new doctor, choose this place. You won't be sorry.
Apr 8, 2016
Just better parking at your Hollywood location.
Mar 13, 2016
Carrie Breeden was very attentive to my questions, offering alot of information about eye health and how to improve it. I appreciated her professionalism. I more than got my money's worth.
Mar 12, 2016
I think Angie was the optician who helped me choose glasses. I appreciated her feedback! My only suggestion for improvement is to have a few more choices for frames. You have a lot of good classic frames, but I would like to be able to have a few more colorful/modern choices, or even more color choices with the classic frames. Thanks!
Mar 10, 2016
I am so impressed with the whole team here. Spencer especially has gone out of his way to help me several times. I would definitely refer my friends and family.
Mar 10, 2016
I loved everything except I really wish you carried some less expensive frames.
Mar 3, 2016
it was great but I was unaware that I would be having a contact lens fitting at the cost of $50 when I have been wearing the same brand of contact lenses for > 15 years. I would have declined this exam
Feb 26, 2016
Dr. Provost was patient and thorough. I feel very comfortable trusting my eyes to him.
Feb 18, 2016
You all are the best optometry center I've been to! Everyone is kind and helpful and makes my visits an absolute pleasure. I love coming here for my eye needs.
Feb 14, 2016
I came for an eye checkup so didn't need glasses. Dr. Breeden is great - friendly, good communicator and obviously really passionate about her work. A really positive experience for me.
Jan 30, 2016
The doctor was excellent and I would return for another check up. Spencer provides great customer service but I found the pricing on the lenses to not be competitive and not make sense.I was quoted $95 for Crizal Alize but then also $15 for UV? If I am correct this coating includes UV? I went with another lens option which was $50 less at Alberta Eye Care for the exact same lenses.
Jan 22, 2016
These two make the best team. They're both super helpful. I have eye health issues beyond just needing glasses and they helped me with a really tailored and comprehensive approach to my eye care. 10/10 love going to these guys.
Jan 22, 2016
Good exam and service as always, however, felt I was pressured into expensive progressive lenses and not offered any alternatives that would fit my budget (I don't have insurance coverage).
Jan 22, 2016
I just received a verbal result on my eyes but I do not know what strength of cheaters to use and what was the result of my eye exam. I have sent you 3 emails asking for the results but have not heard back from you. I am hoping to hear from some one soon about what king of glasses are recommended and what prescription for glasses I would need if I decided to go somewhere else for glasses. Please contact me. Thanks, Kevin

You take very good care of your patients, go above and beyond.
Dec 25, 2015
you broke my frames and have not resolved how to replace them.
Dec 20, 2015
Love you guys!!! Excellent customer service, I always feel very important there,very friendly, offering me coffee, asking how is my family. Thanks to each one you. Merry Christmas!!!
Dec 13, 2015
Spencer was amazing ! I also just loved the doctor this was the best optometry experience I have ever had !! Everyone was friendly and knowledgable!
Dec 12, 2015
Spencer is amazing, and really does go above and beyond for his customers.
Dec 11, 2015
Was all great Fun and informative Can you Email us the perception for both Penny and I?
Dec 4, 2015
Other health issues have begun to affect my vision. Dr. Breeder's exam & observations were concise & most helpful.
Nov 14, 2015
Honestly, I love how relaxed and cozy this office feels, even at the end of the day on a Friday. I never feel rushed through or stressed. Such a great office and staff.
Nov 13, 2015
Always good to visit River City Eyecare. Feel as though I am in expert hands.
Nov 13, 2015
Really appreciate Spenser and the optometrists. Really 5-star customer service every time.

Very friendly, knowledgable and professional staff overall.
Oct 1, 2015
Hello Dr. Breeden, It was really nice to see you again! Thank you for taking the time and going over my specific visual needs, and answering all my questions. These four and a half years of going to River City Eyecare have really served me well. I will definitely keep seeing you for the rest of my life. Thanks again… Best regards, Joe D’Amato
Sep 26, 2015
As it was my first-time-ever at an eye doctor I felt very well taken care of, and felt like full attention was given to me, and all of my many questions and help I wanted in choosing frames, during my entire visit. Both the doctor and the optician were extremely pleasant and had great energy. I could tell they love what they do. I have already recommended this office to friends and family and will continue to!
Sep 26, 2015
Fast, Efficient, Knowledgable and Friendly.. Jenny Rocks!
