Dr. Ardron gets 10 stars in my book. Excellent doctor, listens to his patients, accommodates…read morewhenever possible, great sense of humor, brilliant surgeon. However, the missing star... the staff member that did the actual scheduling for me on two separate occasions left a bit to be desired. All three times I was there, she was far more interested in her phone than doing her job. She kept it near her lap in front of her and could not pull her attention away from it long enough to be useful to anyone. When she did finally pull her face away from her phone, she gave me a handwritten appointment card with the time and date on it, but apparently never actually entered it into their system. I also know that I was not the only person this happened to, because someone else told me it happened to them and I had also witnessed another incident with someone I do not know while I was in the waiting room on one visit. On that same day, after I saw the Dr., I tried to set an another appointment with that same scheduler before I left. She kept me standing there for several minutes, (eyes on her lap, where I knew her phone was) when she decided to ask me 'if I would mind if she called me when she got back to Sonora, because she would then be able to make the appointment more easily from there'. That phone call never came. I believe the issues were being caused by some new software they were trying to adjust to and I understand how completely irritating that can be in a busy office setting. You've told your customer they have an appointment and then they arrive at the correct time and date only to find that it's not in your scheduling system at all. Then that same day you ask them to trust you again until they can better serve you, but you never do, there's a pattern developing. If it all comes back to the same employee, that needs to be addressed. Bottom Line: I don't know if they have retrained or replaced the scheduling person. But something was needed. If you can navigate the scheduling issues, you're in for a treat with a great doctor and a very kind and personable staff. I was never angry about it, but it was an inconvenience and it came off as a bit unprofessional. What I am saying is that you shouldn't let the possibility of experiencing something like that deter you from a truly gifted Dr. Ardon and his very amicable and enjoyable nature. He'll give you the gift of clear vision, and it's amazing.

This place is a joke. I took my daughter to the ER today because she has some type of growth…read moredeveloping between her eyelids. The only instruction I received was to contact Sierra Eye Center. I called immediately during their posted business hours, but reached an answering machine. The recording provided another number for true emergencies, so I called it and spoke with their answering service. I explained the situation, provided my phone number, and requested an urgent callback. Eight hours passed, and nobody called. I called again around 6:30 p.m. and spoke with a different representative. She seemed helpful, but the result was exactly the same--still no callback and no assistance. Unfortunately, this is not the first time they have handled an eye emergency this way. They did the same thing when I personally needed urgent eye care. Based on our experiences, there appears to be no urgency, accountability, or genuine concern for patients who need help. When someone is experiencing a potentially serious eye problem, being ignored for hours is completely unacceptable.

My husband felt his sight wasn't what it used to be in the last few years. We are new to the area…read moreand friends recommended Donaldson Eye Care. The office staff was very efficient, making an appointment and getting Mr. S in to be seen right away in Angels Camp. Surprise, surprise he has cataracts! Dr. Perry Haugen did two separate surgeries in the Sonora surgical center. Most impressive is the compassionate surgical staff. I witnessed a young gal who had great anxiety while waiting for surgery. The staff did an excellent job of calming her. Their professionalism is obvious. Fast forward a month...Mr. S can see 20/20 again!

The eye care service was great however, a year later we received a bill from a collection agency…read morestating that an $85 bill was unpaid with interest. When my wife called Donaldson to clarify the issue, the receptionist said that they sent a couple of bills that were never either sent nor received and that it was sent to collections. Not a phone call, email or any type of steps to make contact with us prior to sending it to collections. Ww have had the same phone # and email for 15-20 years. Completely unacceptable professional behavior particularly for a small $85 bill, which we would have been happy to pay if known. Would NOT recommend this company and will be speaking to our insurance company regarding the shady behavior by this company.
