Longwood operates pretty efficiently. HOWEVER, DO NOT pay your copay in cash. Even though I took a receipt every time I paid cash, as that is an open invitation for "sticky fingers" if I didn't, they are still billing me for my copay for two visits, which I don't owe. This has never happened to me anywhere before. I believe the billing is handled at another location. Other than that I would highly recommend them.

Yes, at 1:05 am, so irritated that I couldn't even sleep until I wrote this review. Yes, she has me that frustrated and upset. Why is a receptionist a fire wall between you and the doctor? The lovely woman I spoke with about 15 hours ago didn't want to allow me to see Dr. Kidd for a change to my prescription because I 1) couldn't be dilated (I am very sensitive to it and need to get a ride) and 2) I didn't want the eye numbing agent that is has an obscene amount of artificial yellow dye in it. I said, "Ok, well then maybe I should find a different doctor if what I'm uncomfortable with isn't OK?" She replied, "That probably would be best!" To whoever runs this practice - I would politely suggest you monitor your receptionists. You lost my ENTIRE FAMILY as patients with that one receptionist today. A receptionist who literally had me in tears after the call with how apathetic she was to me. (By the way. Do I *really* need all those tests? I'm 42. and If I'm not comfortable with something, why are you going to force me?) My apologies to Dr. Kidd. I would have been happy to come see you again.

I don't usually take the time to write many reviews, but after the extremely rude and…read moreunprofessional receptionist, I felt compelled to write my experience. I would give zero stars if I could. I don't know if she was having a horrible day or what, and she just needed a person to take it out on, and I was chosen, because I had the audacity to try to get an appointment with their office. I had an eye emergency on a Friday and ended up in the ER and they simply said to "follow up with an eye doctor next week". My doctor retired, so I wanted to find somewhere close to home. This place looked and sounded great online. They did a great job at attempting to make themselves look good, but this is was proven untrue with a short phone call. I explained my situation and she abruptly put me on hold, came back and said "call the on-call doctor you saw Friday, it was Dr. YXZ". And she gave me not one, not two, but three numbers of who she said I saw Friday (the first 2 numbers were not for that doctor, she couldn't get that right), I tried to say I didn't go to their office but to the ER. The ER doctor said to follow up with an eye doctor. So this was explained to her again. Again, I was put on hold and she came back and said I need to follow-up with the on-call doctor. I asked, if this was the doctor I should see or the doctor I saw Friday. She said it was the doctor on Friday. AGAIN I said I don't go to your office, I went to the ER and they just want me to follow-up with an eye doctor, and I asked can I set up an appointment. She said No, I need to go to the ER. I asked why and she said because that is who diagnosed me. I said, the ER said to follow-up with an eye doctor. And she said it's busy and likely she won't be able to get me in this week anyways. And she hung up. She didn't look, she didn't treat me like a human, she treated me like I was asking for her first born child. I was calm and nice, till the end, when I got snippy right before she hung up and said, "I hope you have a terrific day, you have been so unhelpful". In the end, I'll travel to see a professional. I can't imagine going to such an unprofessional type place. I am in shock of how mean people are and how rude. Her job, is to help people not treat them like dog crap! She didn't want to work. My suggestion to her, don't work as a receptionist if you hate people so much! I hope she has the day she deserves. I really never want to be a "may I speak to your manager" person. I won't be that person. But I do hope someone out there does. I can't imagine I'm the first or last person she does this too. She is going to run that place in the ground!!! Maybe the doctors are great, I will never know because I'll never go there, nor will I let any of my family or friends. But they should know the business side is looking horrific!!
