With the end of the year coming and the realization that it'd been about 2 years since I'd been to the optometrist I made an appointment for an exam just in case. I of course searched Yelp to see which place looked the best and Central Phoenix Eye Care was in the top ranks so I made my appointment with them. When I called she let me know that all of the patient paperwork was available online to fill out and print to bring with you and save time, something I'm always a big fan of.
When I arrived the ladies at the front were very friendly and gave me one more form to fill out that wasn't available online so it wasn't something I'd missed, but it was short and didn't take long to fill out. After a little bit someone came out and took me back to do the pre-exam tests with all the fun eye machines that look like arcade games. After that it was into the exam room to wait for the doctor. All the tests looked good and then it was onto the fun part, trying on different colors of colored contacts!
They were really patient and helpful with me, I tried a ton of different colors and I never felt rushed or like he was trying to get rid of me. In fact he was suggesting more for me to try! At the end of the appointment when I went to check out I was a bit taken aback by the total, I knew that I had a $15 copay so that's what I was expecting to pay but she quoted me $65. Apparently there's a $50 fee for the exam for contact lenses, not a huge deal but I still wish they would have told me that ahead of time when they'd asked if I was interested in contacts or not. Still everyone was friendly and I had a good experience.
