I came in for what I scheduled as a routine eye exam and left with unexpected charges I did not…read moreagree to; I have worn contact lenses for over 15 years and specifically told the technician I did not want additional contact lens services, yet I was billed for unnecessary services that resulted in out-of-pocket costs, and at no point was it clearly explained these were separate, non-covered charges; the doctors and techs were professional and pleasant. I will note they were very pushy with upselling me on lasik and telling me to use their surgery center. They kept insisting to get the surgery despite me saying no several times. The front desk experience was the opposite, Abby was dismissive and rude while discussing the surprise charges, which made the situation worse; I also discovered their contact lens pricing is significantly higher than major retailers, with the same brand quoted near $90 that is widely available for around $60 elsewhere; I don't mind paying for services I agree to, but I do mind being billed for services I declined and not being clearly informed about extra costs, and better transparency and professionalism at the front desk would make a big difference.

Dr. Fozard was extremely nice, has a good sense of humor, and never made me feel rushed or hurried. I'm not a big fan of glasses so I ended up getting contacts. They sat down with me to teach me how to put them in, and encouraged me through my frustration and occasional use of profanity, which I really appreciated. Tip: If you park in the garage across the street, they reimburse you for an hour of parking.

I needed to get fitted for hard contact lenses. And I have an astigmatism. For those of you who…read moreshare this predicament with me, you can know that this could be a long, complicated process that requires multiple visits of trying out different brands of contact lenses. I chose Central Penn Vision because it's near where I work and also both ODs in this practice are women. In general, the receptionists have been very friendly and helpful. I saw both Dr. Stephanie Fozard and her associate (sorry, don't remember her name) during my visits. Both were warm and friendly, listened patiently to my situation and concerns, and were very knowledgeable about various brands of contacts and what my eye issues were. They encouraged me to come back if I didn't like the brand I was trying out (within a 2 month period, I believe). I appreciated this because I hate when doctors try to rush me out the door and make me feel like they don't want to see you again. My appointments have been on time. I had one less-than-stellar experience when my appointment was around lunch time: I felt weird standing at the window for a few minutes while the receptionist finished eating. But hey, ya gotta eat! I recommend Dr. Fozard and this practice to anyone looking for a new optometrist.

Per usual, the receptionist at the Clearfield office was incredibly rude and unhelpful. This…read moremorning I called to schedule a routine appointment for contact lenses and instead of doing her job she informed me that the doctor was "just too busy" to help me. I have never heard such a thing in my life. I recall her shaming me for my insurance earlier this year. Penn Highlands does an abhorrent job of hiring these miserable people who will never leave the job.

I called Penn Highlands Eye Center of DuBois to order my yearly contacts prescription per reception…read moreof PH's Clearfield. A woman named Theresa answered. I told her my order: The Bausch and Lomb Ultra Monthly Contact Lenses. She asked me what kind of insurance I have. I told her which kind, even though this information is already on file and should have been one of the first things she gathered when she put me on hold for 5+ minutes. She informed me that the "Price is $60.00 even with your insurance." At first, I thought this isn't right." I had to tell her that "My insurance usually covers the full cost." (Because my health/vision insurance covers prescription lenses in full when the cost is less than or exacting the $100.00 yearly allowance for contact lenses.) Even then, she would only sell me three pairs of the Bausch and Lomb Ultra Monthlies. I could have gotten a year's supply for the $100.00, but instead was only sold 1/4 of what I needed.
