This office is impossible to schedule with. I received a referral back in July 2024 and never heard back. After following up with my PCP, they resent the referral, and someone finally called me in early August. The earliest available appointment was in October, but a week before the appointment, it was canceled. I rescheduled for November, and on the morning of that appointment, they canceled again. To make matters worse, they only send text messages to notify you of cancellations--no calls to explain or help reschedule. After this frustrating and unprofessional experience, I gave up and went elsewhere. read more

Worst place on the planet!!!!!! They completely got my prescription wrong. After receiving my glasses everything was blurry. I had to go to another Optometrist. My new prescription is perfect. These folks at Arizona eye specialist are a bunch of quacks!!! DO NOT GO!!! read more

Seeing all the negative reviews was really no surprise. When the tech gets frustrated with my elderly Father in Law with Parkinsons to the absolute clown show of Dr. Winkler, the professionalism and care was beyond poor. Dr. Winkler just walked in, said nothing and started grilling the patient over his new complaint. He never allowed the patient to explain, gave a 8 minute eye exam, and made it obvious he was in a rush and we were not important. Obvious. Hope to never go back in there and hope someone from this practice reads these reviews and retrains staff starting with Winkler. Had I been the patient I would have walked out on you. read more

DO NOT USE ARIZONA EYE SPECIALIST! This was our first time using Arizona Eye Specialist, initially at their Baseline, Gilbert office. This will be the last time we use Arizona Eye Specialist for our annual eye exams or anything to do with our eye care. My spouse Pamela was diagnosed with dry eyes by Dr. Elliott Janousek, and was prescribed Xiidra for this condition. This medication costs $2,140 for a 3 month supply, and caused her eyes to constantly tear. Next, the eye glass sales person, Glenna M., sold Pamela eyeglass frames that when the lens were installed, would continually slide down her nose. We went back to Glenna to report this condition. Glenna stated that Arizona Eye Specialist would not exchange the frames for ones that would stay on her nose. Glenna's only solution was to have Pamela come back weekly to have the temples on the frames tightened. The eyeglass showroom is located on Brown Rd, in Mesa, which is 16 miles each way from our home. NOT CONVENIENT to do every week. Today, 06/07/24, Glenna stated again that Arizona Eye Specialist would not replace the eyeglass frames and stated that Woolf Eye Care Center may be able to correct the frame issue. This is an unacceptable way to run an optometrist office! Based on our past experience, I am sure that I will not receive a response from Arizona Eye Specialists. read more

HORRIBLE experience! I walked out of the exam and told the technician I did not want to be a patient here. Both technicians were unprofessional. Talking loudly about personal business, eager to leave for the day. One pulled down her mask so she could blow a big bubble with her gum. Nevermind COVID and the mask requirement on their door. My technician was rude, disorganized and seemed incompetent. Gave poor instructions and instead of TELLING me how to reposition my head in the exam chair, PUSHED my head over. Started asking me insurance questions half way through the exam and asked me if I knew it would be $60 if I wanted my eye prescription. Put eye drops in my eyes without washing her hands. Just completely unprofessional and zero class. And also never introduced herself. I would give zero stars, but the receptionist did a fine job, despite having to work with these two technicians. I'm assuming the optometrist was somewhere in the office. read more

I had an appointment at 3:15. The wait was a little longer than I wanted but I felt like I was in very capable and caring professional hands. Everyone was respectful and both my husband and I feel we were well cared for. The entire team was very quick to answer our questions and we both appreciated that. We've had several more appointments and have been well cared for each time. Nice to be treated respectfully. read more

I was starting to realize my eyesight was deteriorating, with hazy vision during the day and severe haloing at night. Heck it even got so bad that I was hitting the golfball further than I could see. And I don't hit the ball very far. I was referred to Dr Winkler and it became apparent that I had a cataract in my dominant eye. We quickly scheduled a surgery and after a 10 minute procedure, my vision is clear and I am now able to see that I need golf lessons. Great staff, great Dr, great results. read more
