About Dr. Richard Simonds
More Eye Care & Optometry in Hemet
Barratt L. Phillips, M.D.,
Barratt L. Phillips, M.D. operates a full-scope optometry practice on West Stetson Avenue in central Hemet, handling routine eye exams, contact lens fitting, dry eye care, and pediatric vision work in-house while managing referrals for surgical cases like cataract and LASIK procedures. The practice carries eyewear frames on-site and maintains an in-house lab for same-day or quick-turnaround lens work, cutting the typical mail-back timeline of larger retail chains. The setup suits established patients building continuity with one provider, parents bringing children for baseline exams and updates, and residents managing common regional dry-eye conditions that benefit from consistent follow-up care rather than one-off visits. For straightforward glasses-only exams where price is the primary lever, a chain optical center or warehouse membership club remains competitive. For patients with contact lens complications, pediatric concerns, or chronic eye conditions requiring hands-on adjustments and patient history, the direct-practice model Barratt Phillips offers makes a difference in pacing and attention.
Steven Simpson
Steven Simpson operates an independent optometry practice on State Route 74 in Hemet, serving routine eye exams, contact lens fitting, and general vision care for adults and children. The office carries frames in-house and maintains an optical lab for on-site finishing, so most eyewear orders don't require a second trip or a week-long wait. Insurance acceptance includes standard vision plans, and patients can verify coverage before booking. The practice suits residents who prefer a direct relationship with their optometrist rather than cycling through a chain's rotating staff, families managing multiple prescriptions, and contact lens wearers who need fitting adjustments or trial pairs without scheduling delays. For complex surgical referrals—cataracts, LASIK, advanced dry eye protocols—the optometrist handles the evaluation and coordinates with specialists. Someone living in central or south Hemet on Route 74 has this as an in-route option between other errands; out-of-area patients appreciate not being locked into a mall-based appointment system.
