Your First Visit

About Our Practice

If you’re looking for quality eye care providers in Chico CA, you’ve come to the right place. Here at Reeve Woods Eye Center, our providers — Dr. David J. Woods, M.D; Dr. Jennifer M. Levine, O.D.; and Dr. Jordan P. Hastings, M.D. — are excited to offer comprehensive eye care. Our practice focuses on cataract surgery, glaucoma (medical and surgical care), macular degeneration, ocular surface disease, and eyelid surgery. As one of the few offices in our area to offer premium surgical lenses and procedures such as LensX laser cataract surgery, 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. Your health is our first priority.

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 please fill out your health history on the patient portal at the link emailed to you prior to your appointment.

Your eyes will also be dilated to allow examination of the back of the eye, called the retina. You may require diagnostic tests and images depending on findings. These may include 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 (including eye drops) that you are taking. Since your eyes may be dilated, please remember to bring your sunglasses and a companion to drive you home.
