Spanaway Vision Clinic

I really like the at home feel of this Optometrist and they accept my VSP vision plan and also I can use my FSA here as well. My children and I have been seeing Terry Gustafson, OD for our annual eye exams for the past 4 years. My contacts usually take a day or 2 for them to get my year supply in and glasses took approx a week. They're open Monday through Thursday and closed Friday through the weekend. Located across the way from Multicare Spanaway Urgent Care.

Update: After a great experience the first visit, I tried again the following year. I must have called five or six time DURING office hours and received a voicemail every single time. Not once did someone answer the phone. I did try leaving a message the last time and nobody responded. Apparently they are just too busy to be bothered. I can finally see! After years of telling doctors that I can’t see in the distance, I can finally see. I would explain that I couldn’t see traffic signs until I nearly passed them or the tv guide on our 50 something inch tv. The doctor at Spanaway Vision clinic gave me a new prescription that he said should make a difference. Wow, when I picked my glasses it felt like a new world. The office staff is awesome, friendly and helpful, and the turn around time f

I have been getting vision checks and ordering my contacts here for 13 years. I have never experienced any issues or concerns and have always felt comfortable. There is a play area in the lobby for kids. Check-in is prompt and you can expect to be seen at your appointment time without any extra wait time.

This is not a review. I called their office and was told by a former receptionist that Dr. Gustafson retired on October 1st, 2023. The clinic is now permanently closed. I let Google Maps know of this, and I thought it would be helpful to let people know here too.

He's lazy, not patient with children. He prescribed my son 2 completely wrong prescriptions for his glasses. Now I'm left paying out of pocket for my son to get the correct ones because he used up my insurance. I wouldn't recommend wasting your money and time here.
