I must say that when I was first greeted, the staff was kind... but then somehow skipped over me, after being passed I went and asked if they had forgotten me, and they apologized as somehow my name got checked off the list but they would take me next... no worries as I actually wasn't in a huge rush. 10 mins later, they were still swamped but they decided to take me back for my exam, the technicians were backed up, so the receptionist did my initial "check-up" with the eye machine and scan. I came in for contacts so she measure my eyes and took a magnified photo of my lovely veins...
She was a sweetheart but let me reiterate she was the receptionist....
The doctor was finally able to see me and when he came in, he glanced at her findings and wrote my prescriptions for eyeglasses and contacts, without making sure her findings were correct.
So I glanced at the script and was shocked that my eyes had changed so much from a year ago and brought this up, (from -3.5, to -2.75). The doctor said that eyes do improve sometimes over time and "to go with it".
So I went with it, order 2 boxes and even after walking out with the trial pair and asking if it's normal to have to squint so much with the new pair, they told me that it was just the drops they put in and I would be fine...
A week later and still not being able to see, I called back and the Doctor got on the line I explained that I still couldn't see and if I should come in and have him check the script or do a redo... he paused for a moment and said, let's not waste the time and.. well why don't you tell me what to write the prescription for and I will do it.
I kid you not... he asked ME what to write the script for! I was dumbfounded and taken back and said just write me my old script .. with insurance only allowing one visit a year, I took it and ran.
What kind of doctor asks a patient what to write the script for? Scary... maybe he just doesn't know what to do except rely on the machines and his receptionist.
Hello!? Seriously, the receptionist did the doctors job!...
So I unfortunately I am still searching for a good eye doctor and will try someone else and make sure the doctor does the exam.
I do NOT recommend this doctor.
