    Extremely surprised at the positive reviews. It's possible my experience is not the norm, but it…read morewas very stressful. Was not able to schedule a flow up. The doctor would not answer any questions. The person who helped me select frames was not polite and acted like I was stupid when I asked basic questions about pricing and my insurance. Receptionist was rude on the phone. They also took a 5 day vacation for Labor Day? Will absolutely being making the switch back to my family optometrist and make the hour long drive as it was clearly worth it. Hoping this is not a normal experience. I have never left a negative review at any doctors office before in my life. The experience was that bad.

    While I really do like Dr. Dowd and his staff at the office, the care I receive from the doctor as…read morewell as the convenience of location, I can only give 2 stars. After eye exams are complete, you are required to make payment before you leave. I questioned why it would not go through my insurance, and was told I only have a co-pay. Flash forward two weeks later, I received my insurance claim showing what they covered and how much I owe out of pocket. A difference of $105!!! Huge difference!! I call the office to question that and was referred to another number for billing questions. I was told they had not yet received the payment from my insurance and I could call back in a week or so if I didn't get my reimbursement. A second call to billing 3 weeks later, I was told they have not received the insurance payment and to call back in August (a month and a half down the road, my insurance sent them a check 5/26). I questioned why the office made me pay all upfront without sending to insurance and was told that some office staff don't know how to collect. So easy to take the money from the rip, yet a long and winded process to get my money back! My advice is if you want a good eye doctor, go see Dr. Dowd but DO NOT pay all upfront or you'll be in hounding them for a refund.

    I am used to rude people working in most places. I was manic when I walked in, I have issues. I…read morethought they were looking at me like I was crazy. I am, pretty much and to be honest. Once I filled my paperwork out and calmed down a little bit, I was called back. The female that did my eye health exam knew what she was doing and how to do it. Ended up conversation and realizing what a small world it is when we were talking about Bellevue TN. We both have family in that small suburb in TN. The doctor, Dr. Kretch explained to me what was going on with my eyes and how important it is to protect my right eye. Explained what was wrong in the most detailed, yet simplified way than any other doctor I've had in all of these years I've been on this floating rock in space. definitely recommend this place if you need contacts or glasses or both.

    So I was new to this office. I had trouble with Libby on the phone l. we went back and forth about…read morethem being in my insurance. I gave her my insurance information, their Dr ID# with my insurance, only for her to say she can't verify my coverage and needed to have her office manager look into it and call me back. Took 2 days to get back to me. we scheduled my appointment. I waited 2 weeks for this appointment. Appointment was confirmed via text. the day before my appointment I received a voice reminding me of my appointment and that there would be a $44.00 charge for the special retina screening that this doctor requires at all appointments. No matter if you are a new or existing patient. So I called the office to I quite about why am I just now being told about this charge. And mind you, insurance doesn't cover this. I was offered to reschedule with another doctor who doesn't require this. To reschedule would push me to Sept 18th. I asked for the office manager to give me a call. I was not paying for something that wasn't communicated to me when doing back and forth about verifying my coverage. The office manager did call me back and she understood that her office didn't communicate this properly to me. We split the cost. Now fast forward to the day of my appointment . Get there. The staff must have talked about me before coming to my appointment, because their attitude, body gestures and tone in their voice was cold. They were not friendly to me at all. Except for the doctor. He was good. But whoever employee # 034462. You were rude. I ordered my contacrs, paid and was handed my receipt without any communication as to if my contacts were in stock or not. So I asked. Rudely was told I will get a call in about 3-5 days.
