ABOUT OUR PRACTICE

If you’re looking for ophthalmologists in Chico CA, you’ve come to the right place. Here at Reeve-Woods Eye Center, our physicians — Dr. David J. Woods, M.D; Dr. Robert B. Reeve, M.D.; Dr. Amy V. Spanfelner, O.D. — are excited to offer comprehensive eye care. Our practice focuses on macular degeneration, cataract surgery, glaucoma medical and surgical eye care, and eye lid surgery. As one of the few offices in our area to offer premium surgical lenses and procedures such as LensX, we welcome questions from anyone interested in finding a solution to their vision needs! 

As ophthalmologists, we know that many patients are referred to us for consultation and treatment by another physician or eye doctor. If you have been referred for consultation, we strive to keep your doctor informed about your condition. We will also advise you on when it is time to return to your referring doctor's care. At times, you may be cared for by an associate who is not the one to whom you were referred. Our priority is your health.

THE FIRST VISIT

Patients visiting our office for the first time receive a thorough exam. During the initial visit we will ask you questions about your eyes, your general health and medications that you take. In order to streamline the medical history portion of the first exam we recommend you print and fill out the Medical History Form from our website prior to your appointment. 

Your eyes will also be dilated to allow examination of your retina. You may require diagnostic tests, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), corneal topography, visual field testing, and biometry for intraocular lens implants before cataract surgery.  

Allow one to two hours for this initial consultation. Please bring your insurance cards or billing information and a list of medications that your are taking. Since your eyes may be dilated, please remember to bring your sunglasses and a companion to drive you home.

If you want to get in touch with our office, or set up your appointment, we encourage you to contact as at 530-899-2244 or stop by Reeve-Woods Eye Center at 460 West East Avenue, Suite 110.

Testimonials
  • "I had a great visit and eye care experience. I went to Dr Reeve with “Dry Eye”. I was kind of a mess…blurred vision and very uncomfortable. He saw me for two visits. On the first visit I got my diagnosis and a prescription for eye drops. On my second visit, I reported continuing symptoms. Dr Reeve then did a procedure and it worked! The doctor and staff (including his assistant) were businesslike, polite and helpful. Great experience."

  • "I had a great first-time experience! The ladies in the front were very kind.  I first saw the optometrist who was very kind and thorough. Then I was seen by Dr. Woods who was also kind and thorough. They both listened to my concerns and were very attentive to my needs. When it came time for ordering my contacts, I dealt with the optical shop across the hall where you try on frames. They were super friendly and very helpful! I’m definitely coming back!"

  • "Such a positive experience with his office! My first appointment was with Dr Reeve who was friendly and thorough with his exam. A year later Dr Woods performed my LASIK surgery and I have been thrilled with the results!! Their staff is super friendly and has really worked at getting my insurance to cover medications and making recommendations for where to get the lowest pharmacy fees!! I would recommend these doctors to anyone looking for ophthalmologists :)"
