Ive been seeing Dr. Baron since 1982. I went to see him every single year and bought either contacts or glasses through Golden Vision Clinic until 2000. Then I had Lasik and continued to see him every year until 2007, which was the last year I had vision insurance. Since then, Ive gone once and paid out of pocket. I always received a very thorough eye exam. Cant say enough good things about the thorough exam!!!! But the last time I went I have to admit I purchased my glasses elsewhere because his clinic is more expensive. The recession, a lower paying job, no vision insurance had taken a toll, but I still went to see Dr. Baron and paid almost $300 out of pocket because of my loyalty and the great care I received. Again, I went to see him annually for about 25 years, and bought contacts or glasses from him about 20 of those years. I now have vision insurance. I used the online system to make an appointment the other day. Today I received a letter saying I was being released from their care. as the practice has grown to full capacity. I received the letter Feb 6 and called Feb 10 and was told they are accepting new appointments. So, basically, this was a LIE. I get he has to make money. Hes been in business for years so no doubt he is. Too bad the loyalty doesnt go both ways. This rating is low solely because of this lack of loyalty--and I suspect in large part its because I didnt purchase my glasses there a few years ago. At that appointment, he was insinuating that was what I should do despite the cost. By law, you are not required to do so. If you have insurance or a lot of money, if you plan to spend money and buy your glasses there, you will get great care. So much for loyalty. So much for longevity. The upside for me is that I found someone a few miles from my house instead of traveling 25 miles to go to GVC.

I’ve been going to Golden Vision Clinic for over 20 years and they have made me fell like family from day one. As a TV cameraman my eyes are extremely important to me and having just said that I realize they wouldn’t be any less important to me if I weren’t a photographer as I use them for other things besides work. ☺ Dr. Baron has state of the art diagnostic equipment that allows me to have the best eye care possible. I especially like the camera that takes a picture of the back of my eye and fills a 32” screen. The last exam showed some possible plaque on the back of my eye that let to a carotid ultra sound. Everything turned out good although I’m now taking a cholesterol lowering medicine. What a relief. I came to Dr. Baron a few years ago complaining about a dirty spot on my glasses that I couldn’t get clean. After an examination Dr. Baron told me that I had cataracts on both eyes. Dr. Baron referred me to an awesome eye surgeon in Denver. Since I trust Dr. Baron so much with my eyes I was very comfortable with his choice of eye surgeons. My surgery went perfectly well and when I came back to Golden Vision Clinic for follow up to the surgery my eyes tested 20/15 which is actually better than 20/20. Two years later when my brother Jim back in Illinois found out he needed cataract surgery I told him about my experience and that it would worth the 1,000 mile drive to see Dr. Baron and have his surgery done in Colorado. His surgery went as smoothly as mine. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Baron and his staff. Like my brother did, I would drive a great distance to see Dr. Baron because that’s just how important my eyes are to me and I wouldn’t trust them to anyone else!

As an ophthalmic provider at OMNI Eye Specialists, I interact with approximately thirty different practices across the front range. It is revealed in many ways that Drs. Baron and Dudley deliver truly outstanding care to their patients. From the level of detail in their communication with me, their promptness in attending to patient issues, and from the feedback I get from their patients, I can tell that they truly go the extra mile with regard to their dedication to patients and through the high-tech services they provide. Their practice receives the absolute highest marks as they truly set themselves apart from the typical practice.

Ive been going here about 4 years now. I came to Dr Baron because I had been to numerous other places and they kept telling me my eyes were fine. Well I couldnt see vey well out of my right eye so I knew something was wrong. Dr Baron said he wouldnt stop until he figured it out, and he did. He had to send me to a retinal specialist to get treatment and the specialist was able to stop any further damage from happening. Also, I have had great interactions will all of the staff. John in particular helped me pick out my glasses. They are very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place and wouldnt go anywhere else.

I was told to seek help elsewhere after a complete eye check-up. Additionally, parts of my visit dug into health insurance costs which is something I was unprepared for. Dr. Baron felt very impersonal; the rest of their staff was very nice, but when you feel that the doctor is wanting to "twist your arm a little" and push you into directions which you did not initially come for, I make sure to bring it up. I was seen at Denver Eye Surgeons later and they were very easy to work with and listened to me, fit for Scleral Lenses in about an hour. Would not recommend this place if you want real attention.

I think the staff at Golden Vision Clinic is fantastic. I recently had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Baron. He was extremely helpful in providing information that helped me make the best decision around what type of lens made sense for my particular circumstances. I also worked with Sara in choosing my frames. She was so committed to making sure I got frames that both looked good and fit right on my face. My kids and husband also have their annual eye appts done there. I highly recommend Golden Vision! Thank you!

Sam Baron and his staff go above and beyond to accommodate my disability. All of the exams performed were completed with the utmost professionalism and were very thorough. All of the results were explained in laymans terms. A treatment plan was put in place to assure excellent eye health. Much time was taken to assist with finding the proper frames and I was allowed to take home several frames before making my final decision. I highly recommend the Golden Vision Clinic for all of your vision health needs!

Excellent clinic. Ive needed eye care for almost 30 years now, and this is easily the best clinic I have been to. I just went for my first visit, and I was impressed by their high level of patient care and the strong cohesion and camaraderie of the team. Very thorough eye exam (much more extensive than I have previously experienced), and they take the time to ensure that all of your questions are answered and your needs are met.
